費城 (四月 1, 2021) - 次中量級不敗 杰倫“靴子”恩尼斯 will look to cement his status as a rising star in the welterweight division when he takes on rugged former world champion 謝爾蓋Lipinets in a 12-round battle that headlines action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, 四月 10 來自安卡斯維爾的Mohegan Sun Arena, 康涅狄格州. 在英超拳擊冠軍賽.

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.”

On training camp:

“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:

“他是一個好戰士, 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 作為 17日 連續淘汰賽, some might view it as the start of a new knockout streak. 對我來說, 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

紐約 - 三月 17, 2021 – Rising welterweight star 杰倫“靴子”恩尼斯 faces his most difficult test in pursuit of a world title shot as he headlines his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® 對前世界冠軍 謝爾蓋Lipinets. These formidable contenders meet in a 12-round, crossroads fight with welterweight world title implications on Saturday, 四月 10 住在Showtime在 9 P.M. ET /下午6時. 來自安卡斯維爾 Mohegan Sun Arena 的 PT, 康涅狄格州. 在英超拳擊冠軍賽.

在精彩表演拳擊錦標賽的共同特徵, a pair of hard-hitting welterweights square off as Eimantas Stanionis takes another step up in class as he faces former world title challenger 托馬斯Dulorme in a 12-round WBA Welterweight Title Eliminator. The telecast opener features IBF Junior Bantamweight World Champion Jerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas 衛冕他對冠軍 Jonathan Rodríguez 在12輪的回合.

該活動由TGB Promotions推廣. Ennis vs. Lipinets is promoted in association with D&D Boxing.

“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,“湯姆·布朗說, TGB促銷總統. “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 科斯) is the latest in the pantheon of outstanding Philadelphia fighters, combining sublime boxing skills with natural power in both hands. After numerous appearances on 的ShoBox: 新一代, 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!”

這位31歲的尖頭人 (16-1-1, 12 科斯) 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. 生於哈薩克斯坦，代表俄羅斯, 利皮尼特現在住在伍德蘭希爾斯, 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,” said 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 科斯) 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. 在紙上, this is my toughest fight, 但我準備好了. I’ll be prepared for whatever he brings. With our styles, 這將是一場戰爭. 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 科斯) has amassed a solid resume at 140 和 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, 波多黎各, 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 科斯) 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 科斯) 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. 他將成為他的美國. 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. 四月 10, all of my dreams and hard work will come true when I hear ‘and the new IBF champion of the world.’”

安卡斯維爾, 康涅狄格州. – March 13, 2021 - Former two-time world champion 大衛Benavidez kept his perfect ring record intact with an 11日-round technical knockout victory against veteran 羅納德·埃利斯 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, 康涅狄格州, 在英超拳擊冠軍賽.

Phoenix’s Benavidez (24-0, 21 科斯) flashed brilliant hand speed, accuracy and power as he dominated Ellis (18-2-2, 12 科斯) 林恩, 質量。, 以上 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 2倍) 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, he’s a tough guy. 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, 著陸 289 的 532 power punches thrown for an eye-popping connection rate of 54%. Benavidez connected on 50 punches in the 11日 round which ultimately led to the stoppage. Both fighters combined to throw 1,403 拳. 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. 我想要 [Jermall] 夏洛茨維爾, CANELO阿爾瓦雷斯, 迦勒廠, all of them.”

埃利斯, 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 他 334 刺戳.

“I could have popped the jab and controlled things a little bit more and not let him smother me,” said 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. 他從來沒有傷害我, 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, 哈格勒, 誰是 66 歲, 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.”

在合作的主要事件, 艾薩克·克魯茲（Isaac Cruz） (21-1-1, 15 科斯) of Mexico City earned a unanimous decision victory over Argentina’s Matias Romero (24-1, 8 科斯) 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. 法官的記分卡閱讀 114-113, 115-112 和 118-109. SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 115-112, giving rounds 10 通過 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,“克魯茲說. “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, 然而, 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, 著陸 89 的 282, but it was Cruz’s power punching that ultimately earned him the victory. 十字, who is now the No. 1 contender for a world title shot at 135 英鎊, 登陸 145 的 459 權力拳, 含 91 身體拍攝.

“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 特雷爾Gausha (22-2-1, 11 科斯) scored an impressive second-round technical knockout over fellow Ohioan Jamontay克拉克 (15-2-1, 7 科斯) 辛辛那提. 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 第二輪.

“I knew Jamontay was a tough kid, I’ve been watching him since Cleveland so I knew about him already,說高沙. “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, 該 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.”

週六 精彩表演拳擊錦標賽 telecast will replay Sunday at 8:55 A.M. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and Monday at 10 P.M. ET on SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Veteran sportscaster Brian Custer hosted the telecast. Versatile combat sports voice Mauro Ranallo called the action ringside alongside Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and three-division world champion Abner Mares.

克拉麗莎·謝爾德（CLARESSA SHIELDS）統治瑪麗·夏娃·狄卡萊（Marie-Eve Dicaire）, 成為歷史上第二個重量級拳王的拳王

發表評論
拉斯維加斯6月未敗的STAR CITES演繹了她的MMA表演; 賽后採訪中，凱蒂·泰勒和薩凡納·馬歇爾宣布

(星期五, 三月 5, 2021 –弗林特, MY) 女子巨星 Claressa盾 進一步提高了她在周五晚上成為拳擊比賽的“ GWOAT”的要求，並成為了統一的WBC, WBO, IBF & WBA超級少年中量級世界冠軍, 通過對10輪單方面一致決定 瑪麗·夏娃·迪卡爾 聖歐斯塔什的, 魁北克, 加拿大, 在具有歷史意義的所有女性的10輪主要賽事中，女超人: 盾VS. 迪卡雷 在多特金融中心舉行的活動，並在希爾茲的弗林特故鄉按次觀看, 密歇根.

希爾茲 (11-0, 2 科斯) 憑藉她的閉門勝利，她也成為四腰帶時代的第一位拳擊手，成為兩個體重組無可爭議的世界冠軍 (100-90 由三名法官) 現在是前冠軍迪卡爾 (17-1).

一反常態, 25歲的希爾茲（Shields）在這場戰鬥的初期變成了反擊手, 抵消Dicaire彈入和彈出範圍的嘗試. 依靠她的反應來懲罰狄凱爾的任何侵略企圖, Shields關閉了加拿大人，然後在回合中轉回了她慣常的向前侵略.

Dicaire在第四輪中將高質量的南爪子留在了希爾茲（Shields）, 可能是她唯一的重大打擊, Shields只是將其搖搖晃晃沒有任何作用.

我不會為自己的表現而生氣,比賽結束後，希爾茲說. “她只是不斷地彎著腰，緊緊地頂著我. 我嘗試了淘汰賽，但我幾乎幾次, 但我們有兩分鐘，當她抱著我並向我彎腰時，裁判沒有把它拆散. 我很高興，但我仍然想要淘汰賽. 我只是沒有足夠的時間. 在一天結束時, 我是新的無可爭議的冠軍 154 和第一位無可爭議的拳王兩次。”

希爾茲說，她很高興在弗林特的家人和朋友面前完成了自己的最新歷史, 即使大流​​行意味著出席的粉絲減少了.

“與Covid, 我們沒有足夠的能力. 有 300 這就是今天的容量, 所以我們有一個滿屋子. 我們沒有足夠的容量, 但我知道我們是否可以, 我們本來有 6000 這裡的人. 我很高興能夠在這裡做到這一點 (弗林特). 我在這裡的Berston Fieldhouse開始拳擊 11 歲. 一百萬年來，我從來沒有想過我會按次付費並爭奪無可爭議的冠軍頭銜，並且成為拳擊界最大的明星之一. 我只是想贏得奧運金牌. 上帝給了我兩枚奧運獎牌. 我有 12 現在冠軍腰帶. 毫無爭議地說兩次是不真實的。”

當被問及拳擊中她剩下的兩個競爭對手時, 愛爾蘭的超級巨星凱蒂·泰勒（Katie Taylor）和她的一次征服者在業餘愛好者中, 英國的薩凡納·馬歇爾, 盾牌滿懷信心.

“凱蒂·泰勒（Katie Taylor）不用擔心. 147 磅是. 他們必須付出我很多錢才能輸掉我的屁股，然後走到 147. 在一天結束時, 我是一個女人. 我沒有大乳房, 但是我的屁股很好, 所以拿那個麵團來，我會在那裡. 至少有一百萬，我會在那裡.

“薩凡納·馬歇爾無法和我***. 讓我們保持它真正的. 薩凡納·馬歇爾, 你小時候贏得了一個幸運的決定. 倫敦也在舉辦奧運會. 如果你想擊敗我 14 指向8…來吧. 然後我繼續成為三個不同部門的世界冠軍，她打破了. 她知道她不能也永遠無法與我交往. 她可以來美國. 我會去英國. 我們可以去墨西哥. 我們可以去任何地方, 我會把她抱起來. 她知道. 她怕我. 薩凡納·馬歇爾（Savannah Marshall）可以得到. 告訴埃迪·赫恩, 他來了那隻w腳的250K. 如果他要我去英國抽煙，告訴他帶500K…750K. 給我錢。”

迪卡爾（Dicaire）在戰鬥後的詢問中繼續保持她的仁慈，並承諾不要讓損失削弱她在這項運動中的未來.

“我認為克拉雷莎今晚做得很好,”迪卡爾（Dicaire）說. “今晚, 她是最好的. 有時候你贏了，有時候你學到了. 今晚, 我學會了. 我認為這只會讓我變得更堅強. 我不會為了保護自己的記錄而裝箱，也不會保留我的記錄 0 損失. 我打敗冠軍. 今晚, 我有機會與真正的冠軍作戰. 這次她贏了，但要依靠我回到體育館，努力工作，再一次成為世界冠軍.

“弗林特密歇根州獲得了世界上最糟糕的拳擊手!希爾茲對歌迷說. “我們兩次毫無爭議. 帕奎奧? 卡內洛誰? 當別人做我做的事時，我會告訴我。”



在當晚的合作主要事件, 休斯頓不敗 丹妮爾·珀金斯（Danielle Perkins） (3-0, 1 KO) 表現出明顯的進步，並且在與格魯吉亞的比賽中更輕鬆地進行了比賽 莫妮卡“ Lay Em Down”哈里森 (2-2, 1 KO), 在獲得WBC銀牌重量級冠軍的過程中，取得了八輪顯著的一致決定權.

前業餘世界冠軍珀金斯充分利用了她出色的運動能力, 6身高和72英寸的觸角可繞環移動，並保持5英尺10英寸的哈里森（Harrison）的位置，同時用一個令人難忘的南爪右刺刺和穩定的左手頭部和身體飲食. 有時, 裁判邁克爾·格里芬（Michael Griffin）似乎正在考慮停工, 但是耐久的哈里森（Harrison）一直挺身而出，在所有八發回合中都為圍欄擺動, 儘管火力撲面而來.

該得分 80-72 來自三位評委.

“對於沒有被淘汰賽，我深表歉意。. 下次我發誓我會再送給你, 燧石,”珀金斯說, 戰鬥後. “莫妮卡這次做了一些調整. 我用一些堅固的錘子敲打她，那個女孩一直站著，對她表示敬意。”

隨著米切爾的二拳懲罰不斷增加, 裁判杰拉德·懷特（Gerard White）決定，絆腳而退的博斯克人已經受夠了，並仁慈地揮舞著 1:49 第五個.

“我剛剛被劃定了區域. 我當時正在做任何合適的事情,”米切爾說, 戰鬥後. “這就是我得到淘汰賽的方式. 感謝我的教練和Claressa Shields把我放在這張卡上. 對於女性來說，這是一個難忘的時刻。”

在技​​術淘汰賽得分之前, 米切爾降落 48% (80/167) 她的力量拳, 和 40% (94/234) 她的總拳. Noemi Bosques只降落 24 的 153 拳.

“我喜歡挑剔自己，做得更好,米切爾說她的表現. “有些事情我想做, 但他們並沒有稱這個女孩為看門人. 我希望我能更快地將她從那裡帶走，並且刺戳起來更脆. 她有點棘手。”

在廣播的開場, 2012 奧運銅牌得主 馬倫·埃斯帕薩（Marlen esparza）(9-1, 1 KO) 在她計劃於4月份參加WBC輕量級冠軍伊貝斯·薩莫拉（Ibeth Zamora）的挑戰之前，一直保持忙碌，對加拿大雪莉·巴尼特（Shelly Barnett） (現在 4-4-2, 2 KO).

巴尼特想進取, 但Esparza的技術使她可以向更大的對手投籃, 幾乎是隨意的, 特別是在戰鬥進行中. “我們知道她是堅強而又壯大的,” Esparza說. “我想要一個體重更大的人，因為我從不爭吵 112 磅. 而且我認為我處理得很好. 我對一切進行的方式感到高興. 我很高興能參加這次活動，並再次與Claressa合作。”

Esparza扔了 352 打架, 著陸 126, 含 26 身體射門和 38.4% 她的電力桿. 巴尼特投擲 291 並降落 49. 法官的得分分別為 60-54, 6-53 X 2.

Philadelphia lightweight Steven Ortiz also returns to the series, after debuting with a win against unbeaten Wesley Ferrer, competing against undefeated New Orleans prospect Jeremy Hill. 在主要事件, towering power-puncher Brandun Lee squares off against crafty veteran Samuel Teah, in his biggest test to date.”

李VS. Teah – 10-Round Super Lightweight Main Event Bout

The highly regarded Lee made quick work of the previous two opponents he faced at Mohegan Sun Arena in 2020, scoring a highlight-reel first-round KO of Jimmy Williams on的ShoBox in October and a third-round stoppage of Dakota Linger in December. Lee has knocked out all but two of his professional opponents and owns 12 first-round knockouts. 由他的父親鮑比訓練有素, Lee fought four times in 2020, including a third-round TKO over Camilo Prieto in one of the final live sporting events to take place before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the sports world for several months in March.

Lee had a decorated amateur career with an estimated record of 196-5. 他是 2015 中美. Junior National Champion, taking home the gold medal at 145 英鎊. With lightning quick hands that pack power, the exciting Lee has sparred with the likes of Mikey Garcia, 德文 - 哈尼, 毛里西奧·埃雷拉, Timothy Bradley Jr., and Thomas Dulorme.

“I’ve just been training in La Quinta, staying safe and healthy and focusing on what I need to do in order to have another impressive performance,” said Lee. “I see that Teah is a good inside puncher and he has good speed. He’s a volume puncher but other than that, I don’t see much that I shouldn’t be able to handle. I’m super excited to be returning to的ShoBox in the main event so that my fans can see me live on TV, because the fans want to see knockouts so that’s what I’m going to give them.”

是啊, born in Liberia and fighting out of Philadelphia, has had mixed luck on的ShoBox. A three-fight veteran of the developmental series, Teah scored a unanimous decision over then-undefeated O’Shaquie Foster in 2015 but dropped a majority decision to Montana Love in 2018. Most recently on的ShoBox, Teah scored a unanimous decision over Kenneth Sims Jr. 十一月 2018. The 33-year-old 是啊, who did not start boxing until the age of 19, also owns an impressive win over Sonny Fredrickson and beat Dieumerci Nzau his last time out in March 2020.

“I don’t mind being the underdog and it won’t be the first time for me,” Teah said. “I have的ShoBox wins against O’Shaquie Foster and Kenneth Sims, 小, and I always seem to perform better when the lights and cameras are focused on me. I’m looking forward to the challenge.”

Lopez vs. White – Eight-Round Super Featherweight Bout

Born in Sonora, 墨西哥, and raised in Denver, 科羅拉多州。, Lopez had a successful amateur career before turning professional in 2016. He compiled an amateur record of 50-5, winning gold at the 2010 Colorado State Silver Gloves Tournament and the Colorado State Golden Gloves Tournament in 2009 和 2015. Lopez’s career-best pro win came on的ShoBox 九月 2018 when he outboxed the power-punching James Wilkins in a step-up fight. Trained by his father Evenezer, Lopez has added two wins since then, including a first-round TKO over Richard Flores.

“I can’t tell you how excited I am to be back on的ShoBox 和, 這次, with such a strong team behind me,” said the 24-year-old Lopez. “I respect my promoter, 婁DiBella, a lot and have no doubt that he can put me in the position to become a champion. I’m ready for the challenge and can’t wait for March 10.”

華盛頓, D.C. native White was a former No. 1-ranked amateur, 再再 145-16 記錄. He was teammates with future world champions Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson on the Junior National travel squad, competing in the Junior World Championships in Kiev, Ukraine in 2013. White turned professional at 18, winning his first four bouts, three by way of knockout, before losing a decision to fellow undefeated foe Adam Lopez. White has since bounced back by winning six fights in a row, including a seventh-round TKO over previously unbeaten prospect Ronaldo Solis. 白色, 23, is the cousin of 2000 中美. Olympian Clarence Vinson.

“I am honored for this opportunity to fight on SHOWTIME against the undefeated Misael Lopez,“說白了. “I respect his fight game, but I am looking forward to displaying my superior skill set. 三月 10, there will be lights, 攝影機, and plenty of action.”

Ortiz vs. Hill – Eight-Round Lightweight Bout

The 27-year-old Ortiz has developed a cult following in his hometown region, fighting seven times in the greater Philadelphia area. Ortiz rallied off five straight wins in the “City of Brotherly Love” before making his的ShoBoxdebut in September 2018, a majority decision victory over then-unbeaten Wesley Ferrer in Shawnee, 俄克拉何馬州. Ortiz picked up two wins in 2019, including a unanimous decision over previously undefeated Philadelphian Jeremy Cuevas, but did not fight in 2020. 一個多才多藝的業餘, Ortiz is a five-time Pennsylvania Golden Gloves Champion, a bronze medalist at the National Golden Gloves and a gold medalist at the National Silver Gloves.

“The pandemic was a major setback for me and the careers of many other fighters, 當然, but it kept me focused,” said Ortiz. “I stayed in the gym getting ready for when the opportunity came, and here it is. Hill is a tall, awkward fighter, but I am up for the challenge. It doesn’t matter who is in front of me, 我在這裡打. This will be my second fight on SHOWTIME and I feel that, 這次, I’ll be coming back stronger, both mentally and physically. The audience will see the best of me.”

New Orleans’ Jeremy Hill blends his unique size, accuracy and power in both hands inside the ring with showmanship and charisma outside of it. A successful amateur who rose all the way to the No. 4 中美排名. lightweight amateur, Hill won the Male Elite Champion at the Ringside World Championships in 2017 and turned professional in April 2018 after posting a 55-10 record in the unpaid ranks. 山, 28, is coming off a TKO over Travis Castellon in November but will be facing his first undefeated opponent in Ortiz since beating the 1-0 Lashawn Alcocks in his fourth pro fight. He also owns a unanimous decision over then-once-beaten Xavier Wilson in July, one of Hill’s four wins in 2020.

“I’m excited and thankful for the opportunity,” said Hill. “I’ve been working hard and grinding for a chance like this. I feel like I’m overdue for this type of fight and this kind of exposure, so I’m just ready to show everyone what I can do. I’m about to cut up on national TV.”

Padilla vs. Velasquez – Eight-Round Super Featherweight Bout

帕迪拉, 22, was born in Vieques, 波多黎各, and currently lives and fights out of Berlin, N.J. The all-action, power-punching southpaw has stopped all but one of his professional challengers, including six opponents who failed to make it out of the first round. His last time out in January 2020, Padilla needed just 2:46 to stop Israel Suarez-Olmeda. Padilla turned professional in December 2016 after a stellar amateur career that included three National Championships and a record of 90-7. He trains alongside former world champions Tevin Farmer and Jason Sosa under trainer Raul “Chino” Rivas.

“首先, 我要感謝上帝, my family and my team for keeping me positive through these hard times,” said Padilla. “I am very excited for this opportunity to showcase my skills in front of a national audience. I have sacrificed a lot to get to this point in my career. It takes a lot of dedication to the sport and I am confident that it will pay off. It has been 13 long years of working hard to show the world who Victor Padilla is and, 三月 10, a new chapter will begin. Thomas Velasquez is a good fighter and this is a good matchup, but may the best man win.”

貝拉斯克斯, another Philadelphia native, made his professional debut in 2015 and looked to be rapidly rising through the ranks, winning his first nine fights including five by way of knockout. A draw with Tyrome Jones in September 2017 stalled his career to a near standstill, as he did not fight again until 2020 when he scored a third-round KO over veteran Gustavo Molina in his return bout. The 25-year-old will look to regain the momentum he had earlier in his career with a win over the highly regarded Padilla. 作為一個業餘愛好者, Velasquez had a 30-3 record and won the Pennsylvania State Golden Gloves. He is trained by Hamza Muhammad, who also trains the newly crowned WBO Junior Featherweight World Champion Stephen Fulton Jr.

“I could not be happier to have this opportunity to show the world what I can do,” said Velasquez. “It doesn’t matter who is standing in the opposite corner, I fight to provide a better life for my twin daughters. I look forward to putting on a spectacular performance on March 10 and leaving that ring with my unbeaten record intact.”

International Boxing Hall of Famer Barry Tompkins will call the action from ringside with fellow Hall of Famer and boxing historian Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. 執行製片人戈登·霍爾與理查德·高根生產和里克·菲利普斯導演.

該活動由TGB Promotions推廣. 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. I know he’s coming to fight, 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, 再次, 反复. Until I’m really done with boxing. 是的, 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.

“At the end of the day, he’s here because of me and everybody in this room is here because of me, so that’s special. 週六晚, 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, 老老實實. 有一天，, 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.

“聽, 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. I know he’s coming to fight, He’s from Puerto Rico, 他們來打. 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, 我不知道.

“From the time I was six years old, I never took a break from boxing. So that’s what I did. 現在, 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. 他是一個好戰士, 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, 我把它. 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. 在拳擊比賽中, you can’t look past no opponent. I don’t care how everything looks on paper. 在拳擊比賽中, 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. 就像我之前說, 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. 週六晚, 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. 我準備好這場鬥爭. At this point, Broner might think he has an easy fight, but he’s in the wrong. 我在這裡打, 我在這裡取勝. 我們準備好了.

“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.”

多米尼克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, 當然, 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. 就像我說的, 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, 強, 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. 還, 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. 有了這樣說, 我更聰明, 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.”

羅伯特·伊斯特, JR.

“I’ve been in some brawls, but I really haven’t ever shown my true boxing abilities. 我, Mike Stafford and my father (羅伯特·復活節, 老) 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. 更多, 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. 我準備好了. 週六晚, 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. 所以, 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.”

ET/PT from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, 康涅狄格州. Bocachica vs. Reyes headlines a four-fight card featuring eight compelling prospects with a combined record of 119-4-1, five of whom are undefeated.

Detroit’s Figueroa Bocachica (16-0, 11 科斯) is following up on his dominating performance in his的ShoBox debut in October when he faces the power-punching Reyes (14-0, 12 科斯) from Tampa, 佛羅里達州。, 在10輪次中量級回合. The co-main event will feature unbeaten Russian and Detroit-trained Vladimir Shishkin (11-0, 7 科斯) taking on Ghana’s Sena Agbeko (23-1, 18 科斯) in a 10-round super middleweight matchup. 此外, Alejandro Guerrero (12-0, 9 科斯) of Irving, 得克薩斯州, 返回到的ShoBox and faces Mexico’s Abraham Montoya (19-2-1, 14 科斯) 在八輪輕量級回合. Another Russian-based in Detroit, 密歇根州。, Timur Kerefov (9-0, 4 科斯), will battle middleweight prospect Argenis Espana (15-1, 14 科斯) of Venezuela in the eight-round telecast opener.

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, 佛羅里達州. “The Russians who come to Detroit are here to work and not run the streets, 我喜歡. They have families and know that boxing in the United States is the mecca. 所以, they take it very seriously.”

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

Bocachica returns for his second consecutive的ShoBox appearance as the 22-year-old Detroit native overpowered Puerto Rico’s Nicklaus Flaz from the start earning a first-round TKO at 2:43 of round one in October. Bocachica is a four-year pro who began boxing at age eight. He won four consecutive Ringside Championships (2011-14), the National PAL Championships and the 2015 Detroit Golden Gloves. He boasts an amateur record of 55-5. He is trained by his father, Nelson Figueroa.

“After the last appearance on的ShoBox, 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.”

Reyes is coming off of a first-round knockout of Diego Perez on November 21, in his hometown of Tampa. Reyes was a successful amateur winning the PAL National Tournament in 2012, as well as the Junior Olympics and Ringside Tournament. He also won two National tournaments competing for Puerto Rico: the 2015 Frankie Larvae National Championships and 2016 Cheo Aponte National Championships. 總體, he accumulated a record of 45-5 before turning pro in March 2016. He is now trained by Raul “Chino” Rivas, who also coaches former world champion Tevin Farmer.

“I am excited to be in this position, fighting on的ShoBox, where a win will put my name on the boxing map,” Reyes said. “Bocachica is a solid fighter, but I look forward to adding the first loss to his record and showing the viewers why I took this fight on short notice. Training camp has been going great and I will be ready.”

Shishkin vs. Agbeko – 10-Round Super Middleweight Bout

Shishkin has previously fought twice on的ShoBox earning impressive wins over Ulises Sierra and DeAndre Ware. Steward worked Shishkin’s corner for the Sierra fight, but Steward’s commitment to heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has not allowed the two to train exclusively together. Shishkin has recently been working with L.J. 哈里森. In his last fight on August 20, he recorded a ninth-round technical knockout of Oscar Riojas. Shishkin is currently ranked No. 9 由WBC, 別. 11 由WBA和無. 12 by the IBF in the 168-pound division.

“I’m grateful, 再次, to get the chance to showcase my skills on SHOWTIME,” said Shishkin, 29. “I’m preparing in a new gym called Superbad with a new coach. I’m curious how that will affect me in the bout. I know this fight puts me just one step closer to my goal of becoming a world champion.”

Agbeko turned pro in 2011 在年齡 19 and had his first 15 bouts in Ghana before relocating to the United States in 2013 to pursue his dream of becoming a world champion. 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

戰鬥了休斯敦, 得克薩斯州, Guerrero is a big-punching prospect who won a closely contested slugfest via majority decision over Jose Angulo in the last的ShoBox telecast before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the sports world for several months in March 2020. Prior to that win, Guerrero had stopped three consecutive opponents including a second-round TKO of Darnell Jiles, JR. 一月 2020. A celebrated amateur who won two junior national titles, 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, 墨西哥, 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, 俄羅斯, and now fighting out of Detroit, 密歇根州。, Kerefov will make his的ShoBox debut on February 17. 基列夫, 30, amassed an impressive 298-12 amateur record in his home country during his nearly decade-long reign at the elite level of international amateur boxing. 在 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 他 16 professional bouts have taken place in Venezuela. The power-punching Espana’s only career loss was to Dervin Colina in 2019 和 14 他 15 victories have come via knockout. 十二月, he TKO’d Leonard Carrillo in his last fight.

“This is a great opportunity for me to appear in the U.S.,” Espana said. “I know very little about my opponent, but that does not bother me at all. I am always training and ready to go the distance or less. Victory will get me closer to a world title.”

International Boxing Hall of Famer Barry Tompkins will call the action from ringside with fellow Hall of Famer and boxing historian Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. 執行製片人戈登·霍爾與理查德·高根生產和里克·菲利普斯導演.
