Se CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS TRAILER HÄR

NEW YORK – September 12, 2018 – Undefeated super featherweight and former amateur standout James Wilkins will make his live television debut on ShoBox: The New Generation on Friday, September 21 immediately following the SHOWTIME premiere of CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS, a documentary chronicling Wilkins and the 2015 New York Golden Gloves boxing tournament. Wilkins will face undefeated featherweight prospect Misael Lopez (8-0, 4 Kos) in the opening bout of what is now a four-fight ShoBox telecast. The back-to-back programs will begin at 8 p.m. ET/PT with CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS airing before the live ShoBox telecast at 9:45 p.m. ET/PT from Firelake Arena in Shawnee, Okla.

Wilkins, of New York City, has five wins and five knockouts since turning professional two years ago following an accomplished amateur run. CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS documents one of the pinnacle moments of his amateur career as the Staten Island native fights through the 10-week tournament in hopes of establishing himself as an elite amateur prospect. Having already won the New York Golden Gloves in 2013 vid 123 pounds, CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS chronicles Wilkins’ journey as a 19-year-old competing in the 132-pound class and culminates with a dramatic 2015 mästerskapet bout.

“I’m honored to be a part of CRADLE OF CHAMPIONS,” the 22-year-old Wilkins said. “Fighting in the Golden Gloves was a life-changing experience for me and it’s a great feeling to know that boxing fans can watch the documentary on SHOWTIME and then watch my ShoBox debut right after.”

They call me ‘Crunchtimeand that’s what I’m bringing to ShoBox on September 21. I’ll be ripping and running and I look forward to putting on a spectacular performance against Misael Lopez.”

Wilkins, who counts former four-division champion Roy Jones Jr. and former two-division champion Paulie Malignaggi as mentors, fought his way to the 2016 Olympic Trails in what was his last amateur tournament. His professional debut came in June of 2016 when he defeated Jack Grady via second-round knockout in a super lightweight contest.

In Friday’s main event, undefeated super featherweight prospect Jon Fernandez (16-0, 14 Kos) will clash with O’Shaquie Foster (13-2, 8 Kos) in a 10-round super featherweight bout. In the eight-round co-featured bouts, Irvin Gonzalez Jr. (10-0, 9 Kos) meets Carlos Ramos (9-0, 6 Kos) in a featherweight matchup, and Wesley Ferrer (12-0-1, 7 Kos) will face Steven Ortiz (8-0, 3 Kos) in a battle of lightweights.

Presented by DiBella Entertainment, tickets for the event are priced at $60 for ringside, $40 for floor seats and $30 for general admission and can be purchased in advance.

BROOKLYN (September 9, 2018) – Shawn Porter became WBC Welterweight World Champion Saturday night as he earned a narrow unanimous decision victory over Danny Garcia in a hotly contested fight live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, hemmet till BROOKLYN BOXING ™, i ett evenemang som presenteras av Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

All three judges scored the fight in favor of Porter (116-112, 115-113, 115-113) in an electrifying fight in front of 13,058 fans at the 30th professional boxing event at Barclays Center. (Video highlights here: https://s.sho.com/2MWXfRj)

 

 

 

 

Porter earned the belt that Keith Thurman, who previously defeated Porter and Garcia, was forced to vacate due to an injury.

 

 

 

In an anticipated title fight that was widely regarded as a 50-50 contest in boxing’s deepest division, Garcia vs. Porter played out as advertised. The difference in total power punches landed throughout the 12-round battle was just five, with Garcia holding the narrow advantage.

 

 

 

In a matchup of accuracy vs. activity, Porter looked to outworked Garcia. He was relentless in his attack and threw 742 total punches and 544 kraft stansar, landning 25 procent. Garcia, å andra sidan, was the more precise fighter, landing the higher percentage and more meaningful punches. He connected on 46 percent of the 304 power punches he threw. Due to the contrasting styles, the three judges were only able to all agree on four rounds.

 

 

 

I made a prediction and a hard one to live up to,” Said Porter. “I said I wasn’t leaving New York without this belt and I’m not leaving New York without this belt. I knew he was going to be accurate. The game plan for me was to be accurate from the outside and show I could beat him without roughing him up on the ropes.

 

 

 

A disappointed Garcia clearly disagreed with the judges’ styrkort.

 

 

 

He was throwing a lot,” Said Garcia, who falls to 7-2 i världs titel slagsmål. “I had my defense tight, so I wasn’t feeling his punches. I thought I landed the clearer shots and won this fight.

I have to sit back, relax and see what’s next for me.

 

 

 

Following the announcement of the decision, IBF welterweight champion and consensus top-five pound-for-pound fighter Errol Spence Jr. entered the ring to challenge the newly crowned WBC champion to what would be a blockbuster unification bout.

 

 

 

The same way that you called Danny out, I’m going to call you out”, said Spence. “I think I’m the best welterweight in the division. I’m ‘The Truthand I guarantee you I come home as unified champion. I definitely want that fight against Porter.

 

 

 

It was a star-studded night at Barclays as current and former world champions attended the fights, including Spence, Mikey Garcia, Jarrett Hurd, Gervonta Davis, Adrien Broner, Andre Berto, Claressa Shields, Keith Thurman and Jermell and Jermall Charlo.

 

 

 

In the co-featured event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, consensus top-10 welterweight Yordenis Ugás (23-3, 11 Kos) out boxed Argentina’s Cesar Miguel Barrionuevo (34-4-2, 24 Kos) on his way to a dominating unanimous decision victory (119-109, 120-108, 120-108). With the win in the WBC title eliminator, Ugas earns the WBC’s second mandatory position to fight Porter.

 

 

 

In a tactical performance, Ugas dictated the pace from the opening bell and looked comfortable throughout the 12 rundor. He was the more effective fighter from the outset, landning 55 procent av sin makt slag och 35 procent av hans totala stansar. Barrionuevo, who was facing a big step-up in competition, was never able to trouble the former Olympic bronze medalist out of Cuba, despite throwing more punches.

 

 

 

Barrionuevo connected on just 26 procent av sin makt slag och 19 procent av hans totala stansar. Ugas was the far more accurate puncher connecting on 55 procent av sin makt slag och 35 procent av hans totala stansar, including a wild multi-punch assault on Barrionuevo in the eighth round.

 

 

 

We won today and I think I showed everybody my talent,” said Ugas, who improves to 8-0 vid 147 pounds. “I’m happy with my performance. I showed enough, now I’m ready for a championship fight.

 

 

 

I want the winner of Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter. I’m here to compete with the top-level guys in the sport.

 

 

 

I just didn’t have the right distance tonight,” said Barrionuevo, som gjorde sin US. debut. “It was hard to catch him and attack. He countered well and attacked the body. I showed my heart but he was the better fighter tonight.

 

 

 

I telecast-öppnaren, heavyweight slugger Adam Kownacki (18-0, 14 Kos) remained undefeated by scoring a unanimous decision victory over former world champion Charles Martin (25-2-1, 23 Kos) in a sensational action-packed fight. Each of the judges scored the fight 96-94 in favor of the hometown favorite Kownacki, who was fighting in front of a boisterous contingent of Polish fans.

 

 

 

Both fighters were incredibly active, med nära 1400 total punches thrown throughout the 10 rundor. Kownacki and Martin, the former IBF heavyweight champion, each threw over 500 power punches and landed 37 percent of them.

 

 

 

Kownacki, who was fighting at Barclays Center for the seventh time in his pro career, started the fight on the front foot, backing up his opponent and wearing him out on his way to winning the early rounds. Martin began to claw his way back into the fight and caught a second win in the seventh round, landing several powerful left-handed blows to the head of Kownacki.

 

 

 

In a contender for the 2018 Runda Årets, den 10th and final round saw tremendous back-and-forth action with both fighters trading devastating exchanges while doing their best to stay on their feet. The two fighters combined to land 62 punches in the round, 57 of which were power punches.

 

 

 

I think I proved tonight that I’m a top 10 kämpe,” Kownacki told SHOWTIME Sports® reporter Jim Gray. “I think I need one or two more fights before I go for a title fight. Jag har ett bra team bakom mig. Whatever they decide, that’s the route we are going to take.

 

 

 

I thought I won the decision a little wider than the cards, but Charles came to fight all night. He was in shape and coming forward and I had to dig deep.

 

 

 

Martin, who was punished by a slow start, was gracious in defeat and gave credit to Kownacki.

 

 

 

I’m a late starter, but he was the better man tonight,” sa han. “Looks are very deceiving, but it’s boxing. I put up a hell of a fight and went the 10 rundor. I just came up short.

 

 

 

In streaming coverage of live undercard fights on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN, Amanda Serrano (35-1-1, 26 Kos) became the first six-division world champion in women’s boxing history, joining Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya as the only boxers, man eller kvinna, to reach the mark. The Brooklyn native defeated an aggressive and determined Yamila Esther Reynoso (11-5-3, 8 Kos) to earn the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight World Championship via unanimous decision (all three judges scored the fight 99-91).

 

 

 

This means everything to me,” Said Serrano. “I work so hard and I hope this fight shows the fans that girls can fight and we can give it our all just like the men do. We deserve to have this platform and we deserve to be shown.

 

 

 

Also on the live stream, Brooklyn fan-favorite Chris Colbert (9-0, 3 Kos) cruised to a unanimous decision win over Fatiou Fassinou (28-11-3, 15 Kos) och Mayweather kampanjer’ unbeaten prospect Richardson Hitchins (6-0, 3 Kos) dominated Mexico’s Cesar Valenzuela (7-3, 2 Kos) en route to a unanimous decision victory.

 

 

 

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader will replay on Monday at 10 p.m. ET / PT på SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Dream Hotel Downtown in Manhattan:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

 

 

I know I’m the better all-around fighter. I can just do more in the ring than Shawn Porter, period. I’m going to prove it on Saturday.

 

 

 

It means the world to me to get this belt back. This is a new chapter in my career. I’ve been in a lot of great fights. I’m a seasoned champion. This is a chance to regain something that was mine. This is one of the moments where I have to just go out there and prove myself.

 

 

 

My style is totally different than Keith Thurman, so I hope Shawn isn’t going off of that fight. I know I’m a better boxer than Shawn Porter and I’m going to make sure everyone else knows it too.

 

 

 

I absolutely want to unify with Errol Spence Jr. after I win. I want the biggest fights. This would be my fourth world title. All I’ve ever done is face everyone they put in front me and I’ve earned those huge fights.

 

 

 

This is nothing new to me. I’ve performed at this level for a long time. I’ve put in the hard work. Come Saturday night I’m going to get this victory because I’m the better fighter and a true champion.

 

 

 

I’m incredibly motivated, but I know that sometimes in life if you want something too much, you don’t get it. I’ve achieved a lot in this sport. This will just add more hardware to my collection.

 

 

 

I didn’t take any punishment in the Thurman fight. I could have come back two months later. I know that I could have started earlier and been more relentless, but I’m just going to take that into this fight and make the best of it.

 

SHAWN PORTER

 

 

 

The way I’m going to win this fight will change the conversation at welterweight. You’re going to have to wonder whether Errol Spence Jr. and Terrence Crawford have what it takes to beat me. I’m here to put on a great show, win this title and do it in spectacular fashion

 

 

 

I’m used to being the underdog. I’ve upset people before. I’m looking forward to doing what it takes to be that one to pull it off.

 

 

 

Styles make fights. One way or another, I’m ready to do whatever it takes to win this fight. There’s nothing I’ve ever wanted in my entire life more than this. I’m out here to take it.

 

 

 

Anything Danny is coming with, I’m taking it. It’s mine. Vad som än krävs, I will not be stopped on Saturday night.

 

 

 

This means the world to me. This is my goal. I’m a goal-oriented person. I didn’t know when I was going to be fighting for this WBC title, I knew this was my time. This title has so much lineage and history to go along with it and I want to be a part of it.

 

 

 

I’m setting the tone now for what Danny should expect from fight night. He’s had this before, but this is my goal and this world title is mine to take.

 

 

 

Danny has to know that he’s getting in the ring with a bull. This isn’t going to be an easy 12 rundor. I’m going to make him earn every inch.

 

JORDENIS UGAS

 

 

 

It’s an honor to be a part of such a big card at Barclays Center. I’m going to do what I need to do. I’m going to put on a great performance, and the rest will take care of itself.

 

 

 

I think I’ve been the most consistent fighter at welterweight for the last two years. If I take care of business on Saturday, a world title shot will be next.

 

 

 

My opponent is going to try to make a big name for himself, but it’s my job to study him and make adjustments in the ring to get him out of there.

 

CESAR BARRIONUEVO

 

 

 

I’m very happy to be in this position. It’s going to be a great fight and it’s going to be my announcement to the U.S. I’m very ready to perform on that stage.

 

 

 

I know that my power and my relentlessness will make this an exciting fight for the fans. I hope that Ugas is not underestimating me, because I want him to be at his very best.

 

 

 

Fighting in Brooklyn is exciting. I could not be on a more exciting or perfect stage for this fight. Saturday will become the night that everyone remembers for my arrival.

 

ADAM Kownacka

 

 

 

After Saturday night, everybody will know my name. I’m the next great heavyweight here in America. I want to make my splash on the national scene.

 

 

 

Last year against Artur Szpilka was an appetizer and this is my main course for really making myself known as a threat to everyone at heavyweight.

 

 

 

I can’t wait to hear the Polish fans and see the red and white. It’s going to be another awesome atmosphere and I’m definitely coming to send those fans home happy.

 

 

 

I feel like I’ve been getting better and better as I get more recognition. A world title fight is not that far in my future. I’m focused on beating Charles Martin first and letting my performance speak for itself.

 

CHARLES MARTIN

 

 

 

I’m going to go in there and put on a show. I’m going to get myself back to the position I want to be. That’s at the top of the heavyweight division.

 

 

 

I’m in phenomenal shape. I’ve been working hard for two and a half months. We’re back to where we need to be and you’ll see it on Saturday.

 

 

 

Training in the altitude in California is rough, but it’s great once you get here and feel great. That’s why you work so hard to get in shape, so you can be twice as good on fight night.

 

 

 

There are a lot of great heavyweight out there. I’m glad that people are giving it the acclaim they deserve. I think all of those guys are beatable and I look forward for my chance to prove it.

 

AMANDA SERRANO

 

 

 

I’m so thankful to have this great opportunity to make history again. I’m going to put on a tremendous show like I always do and give my hometown fans something to cheer for.

 

 

 

Come Saturday night, I’m super excited to grab this title in a sixth division. It puts me up there with two of the best fighters of all time in Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao. I’ve won all of my titles by knockout and I have to keep that streak going on Saturday night.

 

 

 

Winning this fight is everything. I hope that I’m doing something great for young Latinas coming up in the sport. I’m going to continue to break down these barriers and one day cement my legacy in the Hall of Fame.

 

LOU DiBella, VD för DiBella Entertainment

 

 

 

This is going to be a sensational show this Saturday night at Barclays Center. This is about as good as it gets. I’ve said that a number of times over recent years, and that’s a good thing. This is another show loaded with talent and has a sensational main event between two of the best fighters in the world, with styles that will mesh really well.

 

 

 

“Garcia vs. Porter is a can’t miss fight. The winner will establish themselves as one of the best in the welterweight division and all of boxing. There will really be no loser, because there’s no way this isn’t an action-packed clash that lifts up both men in the eyes of fans.

 

 

 

There is really a terrific undercard on this show including amazing talent off of television. We always have a strong representation from Brooklyn and this show is no different with unbeaten rising prospects Chris Colbert, Richardson Hitchins and Chordale Booker. Mer, Brooklyn’s own Amanda Serrano looking to make history once again.

 

CHRIS DEBLASIO, SVP Sports Communications, Showtime Networks Inc.

 

 

 

We have established ourselves as an industry leader during an incredible time for boxing. We’ve delivered the largest slate of live boxing, with the best fighters in the most pivotal matchups. Our commitment will continue to be second to none.

 

 

 

“I 2018, we have delivered 26 live boxing events and 22 VM-titel slagsmål, far more than anyone else. It’s not just the quantity, but the quality. We’ve had several of the best fights of 2018 and have presented three world title unifications and four women’s world title fights so far.

 

 

 

Saturday’s main event is a 50-50 matchup that everyone from Sugar Ray Leonard and Manny Pacquaio to Errol Spence Jr. and Keith Thurman have seen as an all-action fight where it’s hard to pick a winner. Danny and Shawn have been presented by our SHOWTIME team 20 gånger. We’ve seen them come of age, achieve stardom and even navigate setbacks. It all leads up to this fight on Saturday night.

 

BRETT YORMARK, CEO of BSE Global

 

 

 

It’s been six years since we’ve been in Brooklyn. We’ve hosted 260 ändarna, 46 title fights and on September 8, our 30th big night of BROOKLYN BOXING™. From the start we wanted to make a commitment to the sport and we’ve done that.

 

 

 

Fights like Saturday help us standout from other venues in the marketplace. We have two of the best and brightest stars in the sport Saturday night and we can’t wait for them to enter the ring. We welcome back those who are returning to our ring such as Amanda Serrano, Adam Kownacki and Charles Martin, and we also welcome Ugas and Barrionuevo, for their first fights in Brooklyn.

 

 

 

This is truly an exciting time for the entire sport of boxing. We’re going to continue to reach the masses and provide unprecedented support for our boxing events. Tickets are moving fast and it should be another electric night. That’s what BROOKLYN BOXING™ is all about.

Sugar Ray Leonard, Errol Spence Jr., Keith Thurman, Manny Pacquiao & Mer Diskutera lördag, September 8 Matchup Live på SHOWTIME från Barclays Center i Brooklyn & Presenteras av Premier Boxing Champions

BROOKLYN (September 5, 2018) – Tidigaste välterviktsstjärnor, nutid och framtid har vägt in med sina tankar om den efterlängtade matchupen som skapar tidigare välviktmästare Danny Garcia och Shawn Porter mot varandra för den lediga WBC Welterweight World Title Saturday, September 8 i huvudevenemanget live på SHOWTIME från Barclays Center, hemmet till BROOKLYN BOXING ™.

 

 

 

Showtime Championship Boxing telecast börjar vid 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT och har en välviktstitel eliminator mellan Kubas Yordenis Ugás och Argentinas Cesar Barrionuevo och tungviktiga åtgärder som släpper obeslagen polsk slugger Adam Kownacki mot tidigare tungviktmästare Charles Martin.

 

 

 

Biljetter för live-event, som marknadsförs av TGB Promotions och DiBella Entertainment, i samarbete med DSG-kampanjer, börja på $50 och finns det erbjudanden nu.

Grupprabatter finns genom att ringa 844-BKLYN-GP.

 

 

 

Här är vad en grupp nuvarande och tidigare välterviktkämpar hade att säga om Garcia vs. Porter världstitel showdown:

 

Sugar Ray Leonard, Hall of Famer & Tidigare Unified Welterweight World Champion

 

 

 

“Jag känner att Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter-kampen har en spännande kamp från vad jag har sett för båda dessa begåvade kämparna. Så här är min förutsägelse baserad på vad jag känner båda kämparna sätter in i ringen

 

 

 

Garcia vinner om han använder sin jab för att hålla Porter i avstånd och utanför balans, men Porter får en seger om han kopplar ihop och skadar Garcia tidigt och får honom att överge sin boxningsförmåga och slåss som en slugger — som jag gjorde med min första kamp mot Roberto Duran.

 

 

 

Så här ser jag denna matchup som borde vara en spännande kamp!”

 

ERROL SPENCE JR., Oslagna världsmästare i Welterweight

 

 

 

“Jag vill definitivt slåss mot vinnaren av Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter. Det är en nära kamp. Jag har alltid valt mot Danny Garcia tidigare, och han bevisade mig alltid fel. Shawn Porter är alltid en tuff kamp, eftersom han kommer att komma fram och ge allt. Han försöker i princip rånga dig. Men för denna kamp, det är svårt att gå mot Danny Garcia. Jag väljer Danny Garcia för att vinna ett splittrat beslut.”

 

KEITH THURMAN, WBA Welterweight Världsmästare; Tidigare Unified Champion

 

 

 

“Jag älskar ärligt denna kamp, och jag anser att det är en enorm kamp och en av årets bästa matchups. För mig, efter att ha kämpat båda, Jag tror att var och en är kapabel att skada varandra och få varandra därifrån.

 

 

 

“Jag vet att de flesta fans kommer att luta sig mot Danny Garcia med hans knockout-kraft och potentialen för det. Sedan finns Shawn, som har en anständig stans, även om han fokuserar på sin produktion mer än hans enstans solida slag och har det i sitt arsenal att skada Danny Garcia.

 

 

“Jag skulle inte satsa på att Shawn skulle få utslaget, men jag skulle på Shawn få segern, helt enkelt på grund av hans produktion. Jag tror att Danys enda chans att vinna är genom knockout, men även som spelande man, Jag kan inte lägga mina pengar på att Danny får det. Jag tar Shawn Porter efter beslut.”

 

MANNY PACQUIAO, Flera gånger Welterweight världsmästare

 

 

 

Jag kommer att ge fördelen till Danny Garcia. De är båda skitna kämpar, men jag tror att Garcia är lite mer teknisk med lite mer ringgeneralskap. Det borde vara en stor kamp, och det finns en möjlighet för mig att slåss mot vinnaren, men vi måste se vad som händer.”

 

MIKEY GARCIA, Fyra-divisionsvärldsmästare

 

 

 

“Jag tycker att det här är en mycket bra matchup. Shawn Porter är den typen av idrottare som alltid tar kampen till dig med tryck och volym stansning. De kommer båda för att slåss och de kan båda ta det och diska ut det.

 

 

 

“Danny Garcia kan använda sina färdigheter för att boxas på utsidan och arbeta på avstånd. Jag tror att Danny kommer att kunna boxas lite mer och vinna fler av de snäva omgångarna i en mycket nära kamp. Jag är inte säker på om det kommer att vara ett splittrat beslut eller ett enhälligt beslut. Jag tror att Danny kommer att använda fler av dessa taktiker för att vinna ett spännande beslut.”

 

JORDENIS UGAS, Top Welterweight Contender

 

 

 

“Jag har mycket respekt för Shawn Porter, och jag tror att det kommer att bli en bra kamp men, Danny Garcia har mer teknik och han har också mött och slått bättre motståndare än Porter. Jag lutar mig mot Danny Garcia för att dra segern.

 

ROBERT GUERRERO, Tidigare världsmästare i flera divisioner

 

 

 

“Detta kommer att bli en mycket underhållande kamp för fansen. Jag kan se Danny ta en bra kamp, men Porter kommer att göra kampen grov, och Garcia gillar inte den typen av slagsmål. Jag går med Porter för att vinna med delat beslut.”

 

VICTOR ORTIZ, Tidigare Welterweight världsmästare

 

 

 

“Jag tror att det kommer att bli en fartfylld kamp. Shawn kommer att driva framåt, gör det grovt för Danny, och Danny kommer att försöka kontrollera avståndet. Jag går med Danny, ger honom den lilla fördelen och säger att han vinner genom ett beslut.”

 

JAMAL JAMES, Weltervikt Conte

 

 

 

“Det är bra. Shawn är livligare än Danny, mer aktiv och bär mycket fart när han slåss. Men det är inte alltid bra eftersom Garcia har makten med sin timing, han kanske kan fånga Porter som kommer in. Jag tänker att Shawn Porter drar av den. ”

 

BRANDON RIOS, Tidigare världsmästaren & Welterweight Titel Challenger

 

 

 

“Det är en riktigt tuff kamp att förutsäga. Om Danny kan motverka riktigt bra och hålla Shawn Porter borta från honom medan Porter kommer in, då ser jag Danny stoppa honom.

 

 

 

Men om Shawn Porter kan pressa Danny som han brukar göra, Jag ser inte Shawn Porter stoppa Danny, eller vad som helst, men jag ser honom vinna med splitbeslut om han kan vara i bröstet hela natten. Men om Porter blir spikad med en av dessa vänstra krokar eller en rak höger hand, Jag säger att Porter går ner. Jag ska gå med Danny för att han slog ut mig.”

 

BRYANT PERRELLA, Weltervikt Prospect

 

 

 

“Det kan komma till hur bra Shawn Porter kan ta Danny Garcias slag i en kamp som verkligen är svår att förutsäga, och hur bra Danny kan röra sig, med tanke på att han inte är känd för att ha snabba fötter som liknar en kille som Keith Thurman.

 

 

 

Men om Shawn kan komma nära och kväva Danys slag, han kommer att göra det till en svår kamp. Men Danny har riktigt tunga händer och sitter bra på sina skott, timing och motslagning killar, så Porter kunde spela i sina händer.

 

 

 

Baserat på ren, effektiva hårda skott och ger honom kanten i slutet, tävlingsrundor, Jag lutar mig mot Danny Garcia. Shawn är tuff som naglar, så jag ser att det går avståndet, men bara den lilla kanten till Danny.”

 

SAMMY VASQUEZ JR., Weltervikt Conte

 

 

 

 

Jag går med Shawn Porter. Inte med stopp, men Shawn skapar för mycket press och Danny Garcia kastar inte tillräckligt med stansar och hanterar inte tryck. Du såg det när han kämpade mot Guerrero, som inte såg så illa ut i den kampen.

 

 

 

“Danny kan vinna med knockout om han fångar Shawn med den kroken, men Shawn är en arbetshäst och han utövar mycket mer tryck än jag tror Danny någonsin har sett i en kamp. Shawn kanske inte är mottaglig för det om han inte har rätt huvudrörelse, men jag tror att han kommer att göra det.”

WELTERWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION KEITH THURMAN BREAKS DOWN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHUP OF FORMER FOES DANNY GARCIA & SHAWN PORTER

This is one of the best matchups of the year. I try not to overthink it. It’s Porter by decision or Garcia only by KO. I lean toward Porter.” –
Keith Thurman
Garcia vs. Bär | Lördag, September 8 Live på Showtime®
From Barclays Center In Brooklyn, Presented By
Premier Boxning Champions

NEW YORK (September 4, 2018) – Welterweight World Champion Keith Thurman has an acute understanding of what it takes to beat Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter. Den obesegrade, former unified champion edged both fighters in blockbuster matchups and will be watching intently from ringside at Barclays Center as the two face off for the WBC Welterweight World Championship Thurman vacated due to injury.

 

 

 

The reigning WBA 147-pound champion, Thurman defeated Porter via unanimous decision in a 2016 Fight of the Year kandidaten (FULL FIGHT VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2MAUoNH), and narrowly beat Garcia via majority decision in 2017 (FULL FIGHT VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2MZB6kA). The matchups were so closely contested that both fights would have been ruled draws if a single round were scored differently.

 

 

 

Thurman spoke with SHOWTIME Sports® Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood to break down what he callsone of the best matchups of the yearin seven key categories – slagstyrka, physical strength, defense, fart, boxing ability, ring IQ and chin.

 

 

 

See below for Thurman’s analysis of the showdown of consensus top-5 welterweights, which airs this Saturday live on SHOWTIME.

 

PUNCHING POWER: Edge GARCIA: “Danny can punch with both hands. He does load up, so you can’t be right there in front of him.

 

PHYSICAL STRENGTH: Edge PORTER: “Shawn is clearly the more physical fighter.

 

DEFENSE: Edge GARCIA: “Porter’s defense is his offense. With Danny, I’ve never seen anyone so willing to just stare at me without throwing a punch. He’s committed to being second, a pure counterpuncher.

 

SPEED: Edge PORTER: “Shawn is faster and a little more athletic. He’ll triple on the jab to get inside and use stutter-steps. Danny’s real relaxed, but that doesn’t necessarily come through in his hand speed.

 

BOXING ABILITY: Edge GARCIA: “Neither one is known for boxing. Danny’s a counterpuncher, and Shawn outworks you. Danny has nice boxing movement when he wants to be evasive. He’s underrated when on his back foot. We saw that against (Lucas) Matthysse och (Brandon) Rios.

 

RING IQ: EVEN:Hard to judge. These are two world champions with tremendous amateur pedigrees.

 

CHIN: EVEN: “In my fights, Porter took more big punches than Garcia did. I had to hit hard to keep Porter off me. They both have enough power to hurt each other.

 

PREDICTION:This is one of the best matchups of the year. I try not to overthink it. It’s Porter by decision or Garcia only by KO. I lean toward PORTER.

 

 

 

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® Telecast börjar vid 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and features a welterweight title eliminator between Yordenis Ugas and Cesar Barrionuevo and heavyweight action that pits unbeaten Polish slugger Adam Kownacki against former heavyweight champion Charles Martin.

 

 

 

Undercard streaming coverage begins at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN as five-division world champion Amanda Serrano attempts to win a world title in her record sixth weight class when she faces Yamila Esther Reynoso for the WBO 140-pound title.

 

 

 

Biljetter för live-event, som marknadsförs av TGB Promotions och DiBella Entertainment, i samarbete med DSG-kampanjer, börja på $50 och finns det erbjudanden nu.
