READING, Pa. – Oktober, 27, 2019 – Top super welterweight contender Erickson Lubin continued his resurgence with a dominant 10-round unanimous decision victory over Nathaniel Gallimore Saturday night on SHOWTIME from Santander Arena in Reading, Pa.

Lubin (22-1, 16 Kos) won his fourth straight fight since a knockout loss to Jermell Charlo in a title challenge in 2017. The 24-year-old landed 42 percent of his power shots en route to the wide decision, scored 99-91 by all three judges.

The southpaw relied on a suburb left hook, attacking from a variety of angles against the durable Gallimore (21-4-1, 17 Kos) as he improved to 4-0 since beginning to train with southpaw specialist Kevin Cunningham.

“I had a tremendous training camp thanks to Kevin Cunningham,” Sa Lubin. “At first we had Terrell Gausha but he fell out due to his injury. I appreciate Gallimore for stepping up to the plate. He gave me a tough fight and I appreciate it. We gave the fans what they wanted. I measured him. I just timed him and I was able to land my power shots.

“Kevin is a real strict trainer and he’s a southpaw specialist. We’re just improving our game every camp. I definitely want Jermell Charlo again. My goal is to get revenge.”

Cunningham was pleased with his pupil, who was pushed past the fifth round for the first time in more than three years.
“He’s always been a hell of a fighter and I just wanted to fine tune and refine the skill set,” Cunningham said. “He can do everything that you can teach. He’s the total package. He’s got power, he’s got speed, he’s got footwork. He’s more than a brawler. He’s a skillful fighter with power.

“He’s ready for all the top guys in the division. The guys with belts are what he wants.”

Former lightweight world champion Robert påsk, Jr. was victorious in his debut at super lightweight, winning a unanimous decision over Adrian Granados in an all-action fight scored 97-93, 98-92, 100-90.

Påsk (22-1-1 14 Kos), who lost his lightweight title in a unification with Mikey Garcia in 2018, was matched for his first fight a super lightweight against one of boxing’s most aggressive, come-forward fighters and the result did not disappoint. Granados charged forward from the opening bell, pressing on the inside against his rangy, 5-foot-11 opponent. In the first half of the fight, Easter pocketed rounds while fighting from a distance, leaning on his speed to win the first four rounds on all three judges’ styrkort. But the fight seemed to change tides at the midway point, with Granados able to force the bout to be contested at close range. Rounds seven through 10 featured tremendous, back-and-forth exchanges and the more active Granados seemed to get the better of the exchanges.

The fighters combined to throw 1,815 combined total punches and 1,379 combined power punches across 12 rundor.

“We knew he was going to be a hell of a warrior in there,” Easter said. “That’s what we train for. This was no ordinary opponent and we knew he was going to bring it. I wasn’t surprised because that’s what he does. You’ve seen him fight with the best of the best and he threw down. I knew he was going to throw punches in bunches.

“This was a hell of a test for me at 140 and I felt strong. I’m not calling out anybody specifically, but you know there are champions in this weight class and I’m coming for all the belts. Line ’em up.”

One of boxing’s most reliable action fighters, Granados (20-8-2, 13 Kos) threw more punches and connected more and was once again frustrated with a decision that did not go his way.

“Jag är mållös. I felt like I won the fight,” Granados said. “That 100 till 90? Come on now.

“I’m tired of the same old story. It was clear that I controlled the fight. He never had me hurt. That was embarrassing.

“I can’t control the judging. It’s very frustrating. I have a dream to be a world champion and it just seems like it’s not cutting out for me. But I have the heart of a champion and I’m not giving up.”

I öppnings anfall av telecast, undefeated Cuban heavyweight Frank Sanchezpitched a shutout against Jack Mulowayi, winning a 10-round unanimous decision scored 100-90 by all three judges.

Sanchez (14-0, 11 Kos) was the more active fighter from the opening bell, targeting the body against the defensive-minded Mulowayi (7-2-1, 3 Kos). The 27-year-old Sanchez, who was taken the 10-round distance for the first time, threw over 250 more punches than his opponent.

“My opponent didn’t really want to fight, he just wanted to fight dirty,” Sanchez said. “So all I could do was give him some lateral movement. It’s difficult when someone doesn’t want to engage. We wanted to touch him down, touch him up high. But once he got touched, the guy just tried to tie up.

“There was no problem going 10 rundor. I’m in great shape and I’m ready to fight again as soon as possible. I showed my technical superiority tonight. All the heavyweights better watch out.”

Two-time super featherweight world champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis was interviewed during Saturday’s telecast as he continues to train for his lightweight debut December 28 on SHOWTIME from State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The explosive Davis, who will fight Yuriorkis Gamboa for the WBA Lightweight World Championship, continued to call out the top fighters when he spoke with host Brian Custer.

“I’ve heard all these guys calling me out, I don’t want to sound cocky, but I am the cash cow at this weight class,” Davis said. “Me and Leo Santa Cruz are going to fight in 2020.”

Saturday’s SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION tripleheader spelas upp igen på måndag kl 10 p.m. ET / PT på SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Ett branschledande produktionsteam och tillkännagivande besättning levererade alla sevärdheter, sounds and drama from Santander Arena.

Undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo Defends Against Highly-Ranked Contender Dennis Hogan in Main Event

BROOKLYN (Oktober 23, 2019) – Middleweight starChris Eubank Jr.och utmanareMatt Korobovwill square off in the co-main event on Saturday, December 7 leva på Showtime från Barclays Center, hemmet till BROOKLYN BOXING ™, in a Premier Boxing Champions event. Eubank and Korobov will meet for the Interim WBA Middleweight Title.

The middleweight division will take center stage on the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) that is headlined by undefeated WBC Middleweight World ChampionJermall Charlo defending his title against highly-ranked contenderDennis Hogan.

Eubank is coming off a career-best win over British super middleweight rival James DeGale in February on SHOWTIME and will go down to the 160-pound class to take on Korobov, a southpaw who gave Charlo a tougher than expected test as a late replacement last December at Barclays Center.

Biljetter för live-event, som marknadsförs av Lions Only Promotions och TGB Promotions, are on-sale now and can be purchased atticketmaster.com ochbarclayscenter.com. Tickets also can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Grupprabatter finns genom att ringa 844-BKLYN-GP.

“Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Matt Korobov is a high stakes showdown that makes Saturday, December 7 a tremendous night of championship middleweight action live on SHOWTIME at Barclays Center in Brooklyn,”Sa Tom Brown, VD för TGB Promotions. “Chris Eubank Jr. is already a star in the U.K. and is poised to make a big splash in his U.S. debut, while Matt Korobov is eager to build on his impressive performance in a loss to Jermall Charlo last year. Expect fireworks as Eubank and Korobov look to steal the show and walk away the title on December 7.”

This will be the first time that Eubank (28-2, 21 Kos) has fought in the U.S. som professionell. Although he has competed at super middleweight, the 29-year-old from Brighton, Sussex in the United Kingdom will meet Korobov at his more natural weight of 160 pounds for the interim title. Since losing to George Groves in 2018, the son of British legend Chris Eubank Sr. has put together two victories, including the decisive unanimous decision over former super middleweight champion DeGale in his last fight in London.

“I’m ready to take the United States and the middleweight division by storm,” said Eubank. “I’m excited to come down to 160 pounds where I naturally belong, and I don’t see anybody being able to touch me at this weight class. America is where I learned how to fight as an amateur in Las Vegas and 13 years later I’m finally going to make my U.S. professional debut. I can’t wait to show the fans in the U.S. that I’m the best middleweight in the world.”

The 36-year-old Korobov (28-2-1, 14 Kos) is coming off a majority draw against Immanuwel Aleem in his last fight in May, after serving notice to the middleweight division that he would be a threat when he lost a hard-fought decision to Jermall Charlo in December. Born in Orotukan, Russia and now living in St. Petersburg, Florida, Korobov was a late replacement and gave Charlo a tougher fight than many experts expected. Korobov had been riding a four-fight win streak before the Charlo fight, having previously lost a middleweight title fight to Andy Lee in 2014.

“I am more motivated for this fight than any other so far in my career,” said Korobov. “Against Jermall Charlo, I didn’t get the decision. I mina tankar, I won that fight at Barclays Center. Den här gången, I will leave no doubt against Eubank. This opportunity gives me a chance to right a wrong. Fans will see the best Matt Korobov on December 7.”

Undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo Defends Against Highly-Ranked Contender Dennis Hogan Live on SHOWTIME® Saturday, December 7 in Premier Boxing Champions Event from Barclays Center in Brooklyn

BROOKLYN (Oktober 17, 2019) – Undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo will defend his title against highly-ranked contender Dennis Hogan Lördag, December 7 leva på Showtime från Barclays Center, hemmet till BROOKLYN BOXING ™, i ett evenemang som presenteras av Premier Boxing Champions.

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® börjar vid 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and is headlined by unbeaten middleweight star Charlo making the second defense of his 160-pound title against Hogan, a tough former world title challenger who has campaigned from super welterweight through light heavyweight.

Biljetter till levande händelse, som marknadsförs av Lions Only Promotions och TGB Promotions, are on-sale now and can be purchased atticketmaster.com och barclayscenter.com. Tickets also can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Grupprabatter finns genom att ringa 844-BKLYN-GP.

“Jermall Charlo is a can’t miss attraction and one of the brightest stars in boxing,” sa Tom Brown, VD för TGB Promotions. “He’ll look to make the second defense of his WBC Middleweight Championship in his fourth appearance at Barclays Center on December 7. He’ll have his hands full with the hard-charging Dennis Hogan, who many believe should be a 154-pound champion and should have earned the decision over junior middleweight champion Jaime Mungia. That performance has put him right back in a position to fight for a title and there’s no doubt that him and Jermall are going to leave it all in the ring and give fans a great fight live on SHOWTIME.”

“Jermall Charlo is one of those rare athletes who creates a spectacle every time he steps in the ring, och december 7 kommer inte att skilja,” said Stephen Espinoza, President, Sport & händelse Programming, Showtime Networks Inc. “Jermall is the complete package – fart, ström, athleticism and elite talent – so it is no surprise that he is one of the most avoided boxers in his division. Dennis Hogan deserves credit for stepping up to a challenge which many other middleweights wouldn’t. Hogan is a tough, aggressive fighter who many believe should already be a world champion. This is an intriguing clash of styles and personalities.” 

“We’re looking forward to hosting another great night of Brooklyn Boxing and to welcoming Jermall Charlo back into our ring for the fourth time,” said Keith Sheldon, EVP of Programming and Development for BSE Global. “December’s matchup against Dennis Hogan exemplifies our ongoing commitment to bringing world class fights to Barclays Center featuring the sport’s most exciting stars.”

The undefeated Charlo (29-0, 21 Kos) is one of the most exciting young champions in the sport. He and his twin brother, Jermell, were super welterweight champions simultaneously between 2015-17 before Jermall decided to move up to middleweight. Charlo won the IBF Junior Middleweight title with a thrilling TKO victory over Cornelius Bundrage in 2015. He made three successful defenses, including a victory over current unified champion Julian Williams, before moving up to middleweight.

The 29-year-old has proven to be just as dominant at 160 pounds as he was at 154, with three convincing performances since moving up in weight. Charlo will be making his second defense of the WBC middleweight title and fighting for the fourth time at Barclays Center. In a homecoming defense in June on SHOWTIME, he successfully defended the title against Brandon Adams with a unanimous decision in his first bout since being elevated to full champion. In his last fight at Barclays Center he shared the card with his twin brother, Jermell, and came away with a hard-fought unanimous decision over tough veteran Matt Korobov last December.

“Nobody knows Dennis Hogan like I know Dennis Hogan,” Said Charlo. “He likes to come straight forward with that ‘Mexican’ stil. I’m going to exploit that. He’s a tough fighter and he deserves a shot at the world championship because he competed well at the championship level already.

“I’m going on two consecutive 12-rounders and I don’t feel good about that. I’m ready to get back to my thing, which is knocking them out and getting them out of there. This is a big fight for me because it’s my 30th fight and I’m about to turn 30.”

Hogan (28-2-1, 7 Kos) is coming off a razor-thin majority decision loss to Jaime Munguia in a super welterweight world championship match on April 13 in which many thought Hogan did enough to pull off the victory. The 34-year-old, who was born in Ireland and now lives in Queensland, Australien, is looking for a clear-cut victory over Charlo in his first U.S. fight since 2016. Hogan put together a six fight winning streak before the title fight against Munguia.

“I am excited for the opportunity to challenge for the most prestigious belt in boxing, the WBC Middleweight world title against Jermall Charlo at Barclays Center,” said Hogan. “It doesn’t get any bigger than fighting in Brooklyn on SHOWTIME against the undefeated middleweight champion. After the disappointment I faced in April in Mexico, having been cheated out of the WBO Junior Middleweight world title that I strongly feel I earned, I am extremely grateful to have another opportunity to become a world champion.

“As an Irishman, I feel right at home in New York and have no issue traveling abroad once again to achieve my dream. I have successfully competed at light heavyweight and middleweight as a professional and I will feel stronger with the extra six pounds on December 7. I’m thankful to Jermall and his team for working with my team to provide this opportunity. I will be prepared and ready to shine.”

LAS VEGAS – October 16, 2019 – Super middleweight prospects Kevin “The Second Coming” Newman 10-1-1 (6 Kos) och Mark Anthony Hernandez 14-2-1 (3 Kos) discuss training camp, their first matchup, and the animosity between the camps leading up to their ShoBox: The Next Generation debuts on Friday, November 1 leva på SHOWTIME på 10:30 p.m. ET/PT from Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas.

Den ShoBox four-fight telecast will see Mayweather Promotions’ undefeated super featherweight prospect Xavier Martinez (14-0, 10 Kos) return for his second consecutive test on the series, this time against veteran Filipino Jessie Cris Rosales (22-3-1, 10 Kos).

Tickets for the Mayweather Promotions’ Sin City Showdown start at $25 och kan köpas på: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/.

After back-to-back KO performances this year, Newman returns with a vengeance to face the man who owns the only blemish on his record in a rematch with Hernandez. I 2017, with eight professional bouts on his record, Newman appeared on the Mayweather vs. McGregor undercard where he took on Hernandez, a tough rising prospect. After six rounds of what Newman calls, “the worst performance of my professional career,” judges ruled the bout a unanimous decision in favor of Hernandez. Newman took the loss in stride and bounced back with three consecutive wins and looks ahead to the rematch, while Hernandez is focused on repeating history.

Here is what the fighters had to say ahead of the November 1 omspel:

På träningsläger:

Newman: “Träningsläger har pågått stor. We’ve been working hard day in and day out, making sure we leave no stone unturned and working on a solid game plan come fight night.

“My runs and workouts have been a little longer and harder. We’re just focusing on getting better every day and pushing as hard as we can to ensure we get the W in the rematch.

“People are going to see a slightly different version of me this time around. I won’t give away any specifics, but I’m going to shock a lot of people come fight night and they will get the best Kevin Newman.”

Hernandez: ”Lägret har varit fantastiskt. Jag har ett bra team bakom mig. I expect him to come harder for this fight so we’re preparing for anything this time around. But we will remain smart at all times. There are things I’m taking with me this time around that I’ve learned and practiced in the gym. I’ve improved since our last fight so he better be ready.”

On what the importance of a win and the rivalry between the fighters:

Newman: “A win in this fight does a lot for my career, but it’s not just the win itself, it’s how I win that will do the most for me. Fans can expect an explosive fight. It will put me in a great place to further my career and get tougher fights, which will lead to the end goal of a title shot.

“There is definitely some animosity between us. A lot has been said, more so on his end than mine, but I just let him and his camp talk. I expect him to fight to win and I’m just going to continue to work hard like I have these past two years since the first fight. We don’t like each other, Jag kan berätta att, so this fight will bring fireworks and I’m just going to let me hands do the talking and get the W.”

Hernandez: “A second win will just prove that I am the better fighter.

“I always come to win; I train to win. My family will be in attendance supporting me and I know his will too, so this will be a fight with both of us having a lot to prove.

“There’s been a lot of talk going into this rematch, but none of that affects me. I’m just working hard and I’m going to come even stronger than the first fight. None of the stuff outside the ring really matters to me. I out boxed him and outfought him in 2017, and I plan to do the same again this time around, mixed with a few other tactics.”

How does it feel to fight on national television?

Newman: “It feels great to return and fight on national television, especially getting to fight on SHOWTIME for the first time in my career. I’m very thankful to Leonard Ellerbe and Floyd Mayweather as well as SHOWTIME for giving me this opportunity. The last time I fought on national television I put on a great display of my talent and skills, so I look forward to doing the same this time around.”

“I’m very excited for this opportunity to redeem myself. I knew this day would come, Jag visste bara inte när. I’ve won fights since the first fight and had dominant performances in the process, but nothing has filled that void. This is my opportunity to do that, so come November 1, when it’s all said and done, Jag kommer att segra.”

Hernandez: “It’s my first time onShoBox and I’m thankful for this experience. Fans can expect a great fight. He’s a really good fighter and I won’t take anything from him. Moving up again will be a challenge, but I think I can beat him again.”

Mer, Rising Heavyweight Sensation Efe Ajagba Added To The Televised Card Replacing Rau’shee Warren vs. Emmanuel Rodriguez

Terrell Gausha & Rau’shee Warren Withdraw Due to Injuries

READING, Pa. (Oktober 10, 2019) – Top super welterweight contender Erickson “Hammare” Lubin will now face hard-hitting Nathaniel Gallimore in a 10-round showdown on Saturday, Oktober 26, live on SHOWTIME from Santander Arena in Reading, Pa., i ett evenemang som presenteras av Premier Boxing Champions.

The all-action Gallimore replaces Terrell Gausha, who was forced to withdraw from the main event bout due to an injury to his left hand during sparring that required surgery.

Unbeaten heavyweight sensation Efe Ajagba will enter the ring against once-beaten Jack Mulowayi in a 10-round bout that replaces the previously announced Rau’Shee Warren vs. Emmanuel Rodriguez fight. Warren had to withdraw from the contest due to a right hand injury suffered during sparring.

The three-fight SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION begins live at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and also features former lightweight world champion Robert påsk Jr. making his super lightweight debut against battle-tested veteran Adrian “El Tigre” Granados in the 10-round co-featured attraction.

Biljetter till evenemanget, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and King’s Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.com or at the Santander box office (Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.).

Orlando, Florida’s Lubin (21-1, 16 Kos) was one of the fastest rising contenders in boxing as he quickly raced to the top of the ladder to challenge Jermell Charlo for the WBC 154-pound championship in 2017. Following a one-punch, first-round stoppage to Charlo, the 24-year-old Lubin has rebounded with three straight stoppage victories of his own to regain his momentum toward a world championship.

In February, Lubin became the first boxer to stop former champion Ishe Smith and is coming off a TKO victory over Zaharia Attou in his last fight in June on SHOWTIME.

“It’s unfortunate that Gausha had to pull out because I was really looking forward to that fight,” said Lubin. “Now I’m facing Nathaniel Gallimore, who is a very good fighter whose only losses are to top level guys. I’m expecting a very difficult fight, one that will be explosive for the fans, but one I know I will win. It’s my time to show the world I’m ready to be back on top of the super welterweight division.”

The 31-year-old Gallimore (21-3-1, 17 Kos) most recently defeated Antonio Todd by decision in August to rebound from close decision losses to unified champion Julian Williams and top-ranked contender Patrick Teixeira in 2018. Born in Kingston, Jamaica and fighting out of Evanston, Illinois, Gallimore put together a seven-fight winning streak before the Williams fight, including knockouts of contenders Justin DeLoach and Jeison Rosario.

“I’m approaching this like any other big fight that was in the works for a long time,” said Gallimore. “I’ve been waiting for this moment in my career for a while. This is a stepping stone that can take me where I want to go. Lubin’s a pretty good boxer-puncher. He was on the rise for a moment and I knew about him coming up. Det kommer att bli en stor kamp. I’ll make any adjustment in the ring to capitalize on what I need to do to be victorious that night.”

Nigeria’s Ajagba (11-0, 9 Kos) most recently passed the toughest test of his professional career when he defeated fellow 2016 Olympian Ali Eren Demirezen by 10-round unanimous decision in July. The 25-year-old Ajagba gained widespread notoriety in August 2018 when his opponent, Curtis Harper, walked out of the ring after touching gloves to start the first round. Ajagba won the fight without throwing a punch as Harper was disqualified.

Living in Stafford, Texas and training with Ronnie Shields, Ajagba has steadily increased his competition and added knockouts wins over Amir Mansour and Michael Wallisch this year.

Fighting out of Antwerpen, Belgien, by way of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mulowayi (7-1-1, 3 Kos) kommer att göra sin US. debut on October 26 in a pro career that dates back to 2015. The 32-year-old was unbeaten in his first seven pro fights before losing a narrow majority decision to Herve Bubeaux in a bout for the Belgium heavyweight title in May. He rebounded to defeat Artur Kubiak in July heading into his fight against Ajagba.

FLINTA, MIG. - Oktober 5, 2019 - Obesegrad weltervikt Jaron Ennis gjorde ännu en knockout i sin återkomst till nationell tv lördag på SHOWTIME med en tredje omgång TKO av Demian Fernandez vid Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center i Flint, Mich.

Ennis, allmänt ansedd som ett av de främsta utsikterna inom boxning, slösade ingen tid i sin första kamp under den nationella strålkastaren på nästan ett år. Philadelphia infödda, som hade gjort två höjdpunkter KOs i 2018 påShoBox: Den nya generationen, nu har 22 knockouts i 24 professionella slagsmål.

Ennis var aggressiv från öppningsklockan, landning 43 procent av hans maktskott när han bytte från ortodox till southpaw. Två varningar för låga slag under kampens första minut hindrade inte den snabba Ennis från att attackera kroppen. I det tredje, Ennis backade Fernandez in i hörnet och släppte lös ett angrepp av obesvarade kraftskott som tvingade argentinern att ta ett knä. Fernandez slog räkningen men sa till domaren Frank Garza att han inte kunde se och kampen slutade omedelbart.

”Det känns bra att vara tillbaka i rampljuset och vinna ytterligare en vinst,”Sa Ennis. ”Jag visade lite av mina färdigheter. Jag ville visa mer, men min pappa sa, gå och hämta honom därifrån, så det är vad jag gjorde.

”Jag har varit redo för en stor kamp ett tag. Jag vill gå till nästa nivå. Jag måste bara fortsätta att göra så här show och fortsätta att göra mina grejer och förhoppningsvis kommer mitt titelskott att komma någon gång nästa år. De stora namnen skulle bättre börja springa. Jag skulle till och med gå ner till 140 för att få en av dem. ”

Efter kampen, Fernandez (12-2, 5 Kos) transporterades till ett lokalt sjukhus med en misstänkt orbital skada.

I inledningen avSHOWTIME BOXNING: SPECIALUTGÅVA telecast, obesegrad amerikansk tungviktprospekt Jermaine Franklin gjorde två knockdowns på väg till ett enhälligt beslut i 10 omgångar över Pavel Sour, scored 97-91, 98-91, 98-90. 

Slåss mindre än en timme från sin hemstad Saginaw, Mich., Franklin (20-0, 13 Kos) gjorde knockdowns i den sjätte och 10th rundor. 24-åringen gjorde sitt tredje SHOWTIME-utseende i rad den 2019 och visade betydande förbättringar från hans tidigare tv-sändningar, särskilt i sin hastighet, rörlighet och kraft.

”Jag försökte få knockout, Jag ville ha det riktigt illa, men det känns fantastiskt att få W,”Sa Franklin, som landade 50 procent av hans kraftskott. ”Jag letade inte efter en knockdown första gången han gick ner. Jag försökte vara snabb och fånga honom med en räknare och jag fångade honom. Det förvånade mig att han gick ner för att det inte var meningen att det skulle vara ett power punch. ”

”Jag trodde inte att jag avslutade honom vid den andra knockdownen. jag ville, men jag saktade ner och blev lite för avslappnad istället. Jag borde ha stannat kvar på honom. ”

”Det finns bara några mindre saker jag fortfarande behöver arbeta med, som att slåss på insidan, kämpar och vet när man ska slå på insidan - mindre saker. När jag förstår det, Jag mår bra. ”

Sur (11-2, 6 Kos), som gjorde sin US. debut, var frustrerad över sin motståndare.

”Jag kunde inte frigöra mina slag och jag släppte inte händerna,Sa sur. ”Jag var för hårt där inne. Jag skadades aldrig riktigt av Franklins slag. Han är väldigt stark, men jag kunde hantera det. Jag försökte fånga honom med en stark högra hand. ”

Ennis vs.. Fernandez bout höjdes till huvudevenemangsstatus efter Claressa Shields vs.. Ivana Habazin-kampen avbröts efter en bråk före fredagens officiella vägning som ledde till en skada på Habazins tränare, James Ali Bashir.

Kvällens liveevenemang marknadsfördes av Salita Promotions.

En encore-presentation av kvällens dubbelhuvud kommer att sändas måndag kl 10 p.m. ET / PT på SHOWTIME EXTREME och kommer att finnas tillgängligt via nätverkets On Demand-plattformar.

Hall of Famer Barry Tompkins kallade åtgärden tillsammans med kollegan Hall of Fame-analytiker Steve Farhood och den tidigare världsmästaren Raul Marquez.

Top Mayweather Promotions Prospects Martinez, Richardson Hitchins, Kevin Newman II and Rolando Romero Featured In Separate Bouts Live on SHOWTIME® From Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas



LAS VEGAS - Oktober 1, 2019 – Undefeated super featherweight prospect Xavier Martinez återgår tillShoBox: Den nya generationen for his second straight test on the series when he faces veteran FilipinoJessie Cris Rosales in the 10-round main event of a four-fight telecast on Friday, November 1 leva på SHOWTIME (10:30 p.m. ET / PT) från Sam’s Town Live i Las Vegas.

Romero will open the telecast against an opponent to be announced.



Tickets for the Mayweather Promotions’ Sin City Showdown go on sale tomorrow/Wednesday at 12 p.m. PT, börja på $25 and can be purchased by visiting: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/.



“This is our second ShoBox show of the year and we’re happy to have made Sam’s Town our home for these events,” says Mayweather Promotions CEO, Leonard Ellerbe. “I can’t say enough that this is the perfect setting and platform to showcase our upcoming prospects. Xavier Martinez is one to watch for as he headlines his first ShoBox kort. We have a very exciting line-up of fighters, both on and off-television, making for a card that you don’t want to miss.”



Martinez (14-0, 10 Kos), från Sacramento, Calif., has scored six straight knockouts, including a third-round stoppage of John Vicente Moralde in his ShoBox debut i april (Watch KO Here). The 21-year-old turned professional in 2017 in Mexico following an amateur career where he amassed an 85-10 record while competing in the 2012 och 2013 National Championships and earning a ranking as the No. 3 amateur in the country. Best known for his crafty and powerful fighting style, Martinez joined the Mayweather Promotions team in late 2016 with a unanimous decision win over Wilfredo Garriga at Sam’s Town Live.



“I am really excited to get back into the ring,” said the 21-year-old Martinez. “Sam’s Town has become my home away from home and I’ve had a lot of great performances there. I’m really just looking forward to putting on a great performance again on national television and reaching a larger audience. Soon enough everyone will know who Xavier Martinez is.



“Träningsläger går bra. I’ve added a strength and conditioning coach and a nutritionist. Having someone help me prep my meals and educate me on what’s going into my body has really helped me train better and get my body in the right shape. My energy level for training is different and I feel stronger.”



Rosales (22-3-1, 10 Kos), 27, blev professionell 2008 and started his professional career unbeaten in his first 22 bouts while competing mostly in his native Philippines. Rosales stepped up his level of opposition in 2017, losing to former two-division world champion Jhonny Gonzalez in 2017 och 2016 Olympic Silver Medalist and undefeated prospect Shakur Stevenson in 2019. I sin sista match, he lost a close split-decision to undefeated prospect Tyler McCeary. Experienced against top opposition, Rosales’ three losses have come against opponents with a combined record of 96-11-1.



“He’s undefeated, but I have far more experience with better guys so I have that advantage coming into this fight,” Rosales said. “I’m coming off two tough fights and this one is going to be another great fight to test myself as a fighter as well as a good show for the fans. I’m back in the gym working on a couple of things, and I’m coming into this fight stronger and sharper.”



Hitchins (9-0, 5 Kos), från Brooklyn, N.Y., is a former two-time Golden Gloves champion who represented his parents’ home country of Haiti in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, where he lost to team USA’s Gary Russell Jr. One of boxing’s top young prospects, Hitchins has sparred and trained with several world champions including Terence Crawford and stablemate Gervonta Davis. Just 21-years-old, Hitchins boasts incredible hand and foot speed and the boxing IQ of a veteran contender. Having fought eight out of his nine pro fights in his hometown, Hitchins will travel to Las Vegas looking for a statement win in his television debut.



“I’m ready to pick back up where I left off,”Sa Hitchins. “I’ve remained in great shape since my last opponent fell through back in July, but it worked out because now I get an opportunity to show my talents on national television. My brother Tank [Gervonta Davis] showed me a lot of things this summer and great techniques to sharpen my skills. I’m working hard and getting work in multiple gyms across different weight classes to help me with my speed and power. I’m going to give it my all and deliver with a dominating win.”



Johnson, a Las Vegas resident, started his professional career with four consecutive TKO wins. His past four fights have all come against undefeated opposition including a split decision win over Larry Gomez, som var 8-0 entering the fight, in his last outing in April. Johnson’s lone loss came against 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist Fazliddin Gaibnazarov.



“This is going to be an entertaining fight for the fans,” said Johnson. “I predict a fourth or fifth round knockout – that isn’t me being cocky, just me understanding what’s on the line. This is a huge fight for me and I’m going to rise to the occasion. I’m here to expose everyone I step in the ring with. I’ll fight anybody I feel is a good challenge. I’ve seen Hitchins spar Devin Haney and I’ve watched a few of his fights. He did really good, but I was able to identify some opportunities and I feel confident I can beat this kid.”



Las Vegas’ Newman started boxing when he was 9 years old and built up an amateur record of 25-5 before turning pro in 2014. Impressed by Newman’s skills and technique in the ring as an amateur, Floyd Mayweather signed the rising middleweight to his growing stable of fighters in the summer of 2014. Newman made his professional debut on the Mayweather vs. Maidana II undercard, where he fought to a draw with Azamat Umarzoda. He won his next seven contests before dropping a decision to his November 1 motståndare, Mark Anthony Hernandez, on the undercard of Mayweather vs. McGregor in August 2017. He has since rebounded with three consecutive KO wins at Sam’s Town.



“I’m thankful to my team for another fight,” said Newman. “This is my third fight this year, and I’m looking forward to putting on a show and really ending this year with a bang. Training camp has consisted of great sparring with A-level guys, including Anthony Dirrell for his fight with David Benavidez. I was able to get a lot of quality rounds in already, and this is just the beginning of my training camp. I’m extremely sharp now so we’re just maintaining that and getting my body into fight shape.”



Hernandez, 26, av Fresno, Calif., is no stranger to fighting under the spotlight. After dropping a split decision to Kyrone Davis in 2017, Hernandez bounced back with the biggest win of his career over Newman on the undercard of the blockbuster Mayweather vs. McGregor event. Hernandez was among 16 professional fighters selected to compete at 160 pounds on the 2018 reboot of Utmanaren serie. He earned a split decision over Danny Valdivia and a unanimous verdict over Quantavious Cash to finish behind champion Brandon Adams and runner-up Shane Mosley Jr. In February of this year, he suffered a setback in a rematch to Jeison Rosario, who he fought to a draw with in 2018, but rebounded with a unanimous decision win over Francisco Castro in his last bout.



“I expect Kevin to come better than he did the first time we fought,” said Hernandez. “The first fight was a clear unanimous decision for me. I didn’t think there was any controversy. He has his reasons as to why he didn’t perform, but that doesn’t matter to me. I went up in weight to take that fight from 154 till 165 pounds so I was also coming in with a slight disadvantage, and now I’m moving up again to fight him again. I out-boxed him and out-fought him the first time and fans can expect a great fight again. He’s a really good fighter, I won’t take anything from him. Moving up again will be a challenge, but I think I can beat him again.”



Rising lightweight prospect Romero, born and raised in North Las Vegas, started his boxing career at age 18 after spending much of his youth competing in Judo. Despite a limited amateur career consisting of just 45 slagsmål, Romero gained the attention of Floyd Mayweather and was signed to his promotional company in November of 2016. He made his professional debut the next month and scored a TKO just over a minute into the fight. With eight stoppages in nine professional fights, Romero packs a heavy punch and will be looking for his fifth straight knockout on November 1.



“It’s been a great year for me professionally,Sa Romero. “I’ve been able to gain an even larger fan base since my last performance earlier this year and I’m excited to do what I do best and that’s knocking out the competition and continuing to grow as a fighter. A lot of people have doubted me for my lack of amateur experience, but my power and boxing IQ are undeniable. I’m taking the experience from my last fight and working to correct a few things. My goal is to become the most versatile fighter backed by power.”



Hall of Famer Barry Tompkins will call the ShoBox action from ringside with fellow Hall of Famer Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. Exekutiv producent är Gordon Hall med Richard Gaughan producera och Rick Phillips rikta.

Anses vara en av högt uppsatta amerikanska tunga framtidsutsikter, Franklin är en före detta amatör enastående och 2014 National Golden Gloves Champion. Han passerade på möjligheten att konkurrera för en plats på 2016 OS och, efter vridning professionell i 2015, byggde sitt obesegrad rekord med relativ lätthet genom sin första 17 slagsmål. I 2019, Franklin ökat sin nivå av motstånd i rad slagsmål på Showtime, tjäna ett enhälligt beslut över tidigare Nej. 1-rang U.S.. amatör Rydell Booker i april, följt av en hårdnackad split-beslut över Jerry Forrest i juli. Nu, de sex-fots-2 Franklin avkastning för hans tredje bout av den år söker en avgörande seger för sin hemstad fans.

“Detta är vad jag har väntat på,” Said Franklin. “Jag kan inte vänta med att sätta en show på framför min hemstad med vänner och familj i publiken. Jag har arbetat på min kost och ta bättre hand om min kropp sedan min sista match. Jag fokuserade på att inte slösa något slag och låta knockout komma naturligt, inte skjuta för det. Jag kommer att vara bättre rade och mer tålamod och slutligen bevisa fans varför jag är USA: s nästa stora tungvikt.”

Sura blev professionell i 2016 och har vunnit 11 av hans första 12 professionella bouts. Den 36-årige är kommer från en karriär-best vinna över tidigare obesegrad Tomas Salek för regional Czech tungvikt titel. Den 6-fot-5 Sour har kämpat alla utom en av hans professionella skjutningarna i sitt hemland Tjeckien och kommer att göra sin US. debut mot Franklin. Han var en skicklig amatör utomlands och skakas upp en 80-43-2 rekord samtidigt representera det tjeckiska landslaget från 2008 till 2015. Den ensamme fläck på Sour rekord är en 2017 förlust till högt ansedda obesegrad tungvikts Filip Hrgovic.

“Jermaine Franklin är på ett uppdrag för att visa världen att han är den högsta nya tungvikt på scen,” nämnda promotor Dmitriy Salita, VD för Salita Promotions. “Han kommer att kämpa stor och stark Pavel Sour som kommer från en karriär-best win. Detta är en betydande tungvikts kamp som kommer att lägga till redan historisk och elektrisk händelse oktober 5 rubricerade med Claressa Shields mot. Ivana Habazin.”

De 24-åriga O'Quinn (12-0-1, 8 Kos) står 5 fot 6 och har fått betyget Nej. 13 i värld av WBO. Blixtsnabba händer och enkel kombination stans har tillät obesegrade O'Quinn att bli en favorit bland Motor City kamp fläktar. O'Quinn var No. 1-rankad amatör bantamvikt i landet innan svarvning professionell i 2015. Han sågs senast april 13 i år på Boardwalk Hall i Atlantic City, vinna en dominerande enhälligt åtta Ligt beslut över Minnesota veteran Vicente Alfaro Martinez.
 

“På oktober 5 du kan förvänta dig inget mindre än vad jag alltid gör och det är vinna!” O'Quinn sa. “Detta är den största kampen i mitt professionella karriär och min första 10-runt kamp och jag tar det på största allvar. jag ska ser det bästa jag har sett som pro på den natten och efter kampen jag ska vara söker större namn att ta på i super Mellanvikt division.”


EN 29-åriga stående 5 fot 3, Smith (13-2, 7 Kos) bär ett rykte som en throwback och en av de mest spännande Detroit kämpar för det senaste decenniet. Känd för sin orädda aggression i ringen, Smiths slagsmål är alltid “måste se” biljettpris för Detroiters. Också en skicklig amatör, Smed är en före detta National Amateur Champion och åttatiden Golden Gloves Champion. Hans sista match kom i februari i år på Performance Arts Center i Dearborn, Mich., där han vann ett enhälligt sex-round beslut över Mexikos Jonathan Lecona Ramos.

“Min motståndare är fast, men han är inte på min nivå,” sade Smith. “Han kastar en hel del slag men han slår en hel del. Det är ingenting han kan visa mig att jag inte har gjort redan sett förut. Fans kan alltid förvänta sig en spännande kamp när det kommer till mig. Jag kommer alltid att sätta allt på rad för att vinna.”

“Detroit är en av landets bästa boxningskampstäder och denna kamp är ett exempel på det där,” Said Word. “Ja’Rico utses som en av de bästa amerikanerna super flygvikt, medan James Smith inte kunde missa när han blev professionell. Denna kamp kan visa sig vara nattens kamp eftersom båda killarna kommer att göra det lämna allt i ringen för att vinna. Blir det Ja´Ricos hastighet och tidpunkt, eller kommer James Smith att mala ner honom med sin aggression och tryck? Spelar ingen roll vem vinner, detta blir ett oförglömligt krig.”
