After having heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder nearly out on his feet in their March classic, Ortiz (28-1, 24 KOs) eventually succumbed to the power of the unbeaten champion. Jetzt, Ortiz looks to get back to world title contention on July 28. Originally, from Camaguey, Kuba, now residing in Miami, Fla., Ortiz will fight in Los Angeles for the first time as a professional. Ortiz quickly became one of the most avoided men in boxing with victories over Bryant Jennings, Tony Thompson and Malik Scott on his way to the memorable showdown with Wilder.

 

 

 

“I’m looking to make a statement on July 28 and get back to challenge for the heavyweight championship of the world,” Said Ortiz. “I’m excited to be back in the ring. I am thankful to have this opportunity. To all the fans in Los Angeles, don’t miss this great card at STAPLES Center. ‘The Real King Kong’ is coming to LA!”

 

 

 

A native of Romania and fighting out of Burbank, Calif., Cojanu (16-3, 9 KOs) challenged then WBO heavyweight world champion Joseph Parker for the title in May 2017. Cojanu took the New Zealand champion the distance but lost via unanimous decision in the champion’s home country. Standing over six-foot-seven, Cojanu scored three straight knockout victories in 2016 to earn the title shot and will return to the ring for his first fight in the U.S. since January 2016.

 

 

 

“I’m proud and confident to know that I will be stepping into the ring against a worthy opponent on July 28,” Said Cojanu. “Luis Ortiz is a world-class fighter with a lot of experience, which will give me the opportunity to show my skills to all the fans at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles and watching on SHOWTIME.”

 

 

 

Der 23-Jährige Stadtviertel (21-0, 13 KOs) has been impressive since moving up to 140 pounds last March. He’s scored stoppage victories over Yardley Cruz, Jose Luis Rodriguez, Naim Nelson and most recently a second-round destruction of Eudy Bernardo. The five-foot-ten Barrios of San Antonio had previously campaigned at 130 pounds before making the move to the higher weight class that has helped unlock his power.

 

 

 

“I fought on SHOWTIME EXTREME but making my debut on SHOWTIME has always been a dream of mine since I was a kid,” Said Barrios. “Jetzt, the time has come to show why I’m here. I’m ready to keep showing why I’m going to become a star and one of the sport’s next great fighters. Come July 28, everyone should tune-in for a great night of fights. It’s ‘Azteca’ time.”

 

 

 

Fighting out of Garden Grove, Calif., Römer (24-2-1, 16 KOs) scored knockouts in nine of his first 11 pro fights and has won 10 seiner letzten 11 leading up to July 28. The 30-year-old most recently dropped a decision to Wilberth Lopez last September after a run of defeating veteran fighters and will look to put himself back on the path to a world title with a victory over Barrios at STAPLES Center.

 

 

 

“I’m very excited to have this great opportunity,” sagte Roman. “Barrios has been on a roll, but I have the experience to take him out. Both of us bring pressure and I know he’s going to be hungry to keep his record perfect. I’m more motivated than I’ve ever been for this fight. I can’t wait to put on a show in my backyard for all the great fans in Southern California.”

DETROIT (Juni 23, 2018) – Claressa Shields wurde Weltmeisterin in zwei Divisionen, und Christina Hammer behielten ihre beiden Weltmeistertitel, da beide am Freitagabend einstimmige Siege holten Showtime Boxing: SONDERAUSGABE aus dem Freimaurertempel in Detroit, Mich.

 

 

 

Und jetzt haben sie einander im Visier.

 

 

 

Die zweifachen olympischen Goldmedaillengewinner im nahegelegenen Flint, Mich., wurde zum ersten Mal in ihrer Karriere niedergeschlagen 53 Sekunden in der ersten Runde, Aber sie konnte zurückkommen und jede Runde danach gewinnen, um eine zweigeteilte Weltmeisterin zu werden und die vakanten IBF- und WBA-Mittelgewichts-Weltmeisterschaften gegen Hanna Gabriels zu gewinnen. Die Richter haben den Kampf gewertet 98-91, 97-92 zweimal.

 

 

 

Hammer betrat den Ring nach dem Kampf mit den Schilden, und ein emotionaler Shields drückte sich auf Hammer und es folgten einige Schubsen und Schubsen. (siehe Video HIER)

 

 

 

„Ich habe es nur satt, dass Hammer mich die ganze Zeit respektlos behandelt,„Schilde (6-0, 2 KOs) sagte,. „Sie kommt nach all meinen Rechten in den Ring, redet über Müll, und dann geht sie da rein und sieht aus wie [Mist] gegen Nelson. Ich habe es satt. Aber ich habe sie wissen lassen, dass ich mehr als bereit für einen Kampf gegen sie bin. Sie wollte, dass ich heute Nacht verliere, Aber ich wollte, dass sie gewinnt, weil ich gegen sie kämpfen will. Wir müssen uns jetzt vereinen.“

 

 

 

Shields und Gabriels begannen den Kampf wütend zu schwingen, aber es war Gabriels (18-2-1, 11 KOs) die sich auf einem rechten Uppercut verbunden haben und Schilde an die Leinwand gesendet haben. (siehe das Knockdown-Video HIER)

 

 

 

„Einmal ging ich runter, Ich atmete tief ein und erinnere mich, dass ich bei mir dachte, ‚Ich bin dabei, dieses Mädchen auszupeitschen‘“, sagte Shields. "Ich erinnere mich nur, dass ich dachte, lass uns den Jab benutzen und schlau sein."

 

 

 

Costa Ricas Gabriels, ein einheitlicher 154-Pfund-Titelhalter, kam ins Gewicht und versuchte, ein Weltmeister in drei Divisionen zu werden. (siehe Highlights von Shields-Gabriels HIER).

 

 

 

„Ich habe trainiert, um die Distanz zu gehen, aber mein Herz hat mich verraten, denn nach dem ersten klopfen, Ich habe nach einem anderen gesucht,“ sagte Gabriels, der amtierende WBA- und WBO-Champion, der in ihr kämpfte 12th gerader WM-Kampf seit dem Gewinn des Weltergewichts-Titels in 2009. „Ich wollte allen zeigen, dass ich das Herz eines Kriegers habe.

 

 

 

„Ich hatte nach dem Knockdown nicht das Gefühl, im Vorteil zu sein“. Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass ich Runde für Runde arbeiten muss, um überhaupt eine Chance auf den Sieg zu haben.“

 

 

 

Gabriels hinzugefügt: „Sie hat viel Kraft. Es war ein toller Kampf und man muss die Entscheidung der Richter akzeptieren. Sie ist mächtig und für die Fans lief es meiner Meinung nach gut.

 

 

 

Shields suffered a cut on the left cheek in round 10, and also overcame a head butt. She recalled being hurt by Gabriels’ punches to the head just three times in the fight. “The first round, fourth round and the eighth round, other than that she didn’t hit me with no head shots.”

 

 

 

Shields – in her first fight with new trainer John David Jackson – said she learned something about herself after the fight. “I can get put on my ass, get up and come back and win,” she said. “Tonight was my night and I have to show the world I’m the greatest of all-time. I showed who I am. Jetzt, I’m really dangerous because you can even put me down, and I’ll still come back to win.”

 

 

 

The difference in the fight was Shields’ Richtigkeit, vor allem in Bezug auf ihre Powershots, als sie sich anschloss 42 Prozent im Vergleich zu Gabriels 26 Prozent.

 

 

 

Shields wurde nach dem Kampf gefragt, wann sie sich Hammer stellen möchte. „Hoffentlich kommt es als nächstes,” she said. „Ich brauche keine Ruhe. Ich hätte sie heute Nacht auspeitschen können. Ich habe sie und ihr ganzes Team einfach so satt.“

 

 

 

 

 

Bei einem einseitigen Sieg in ihren mit Spannung erwarteten USA. Debüt, Hammer (23-0, 10 KOs) blieb mit einer einstimmigen Entscheidung gegen Tori Nelson ungeschlagen (17-2-3, 2 KOs). Die Noten waren 100-90, 99-91 zweimal, ihre WBC- und WBO-Mittelgewichts-WM-Titelgürtel zu behalten. (siehe Hammer-Nelson-Highlights HIER).

 

 

 

„Es wäre besser gewesen, ein KO . zu bekommen,“ sagte Hammer, wer ist 27 Jahre alt und aus Dortmund, Deutschland. „Ich habe alles versucht, um den Knockout zu bekommen. Sie war hart. Ich hoffe, die USA sind damit gut und ich bin immer noch der Champion.“

 

 

 

“I’m really looking forward to fighting Claressa. She will try and fight me on the inside but my footwork and my reach will make the difference. The fight with Claressa will be a game-changer. It will be the biggest women’s fight ever. I would like to fight her at a neutral site.”

 

 

 

“I’m very disappointed in my performance tonight,” said an emotional Nelson after the fight. “It’s a loss, of course it’s disappointing. I wasn’t busy enough, I guess.”

 

 

 

In her last fight, Nelson lost a unanimous decision to Shields back in January. “Claressa is better,” Nelson said. “Shields has a jab and uses the ring. Claressa stands there and wants to fight. She has all the punches. Hammer only has one.”

 

 

 

In der Sendung Opener, Umar Salamov (21-1, 16 KOs) mit einer tödlichen rechten Hand verbunden, um Brian Howard KO zu schlagen (13-2, 10 KOs) 53 Sekunden in die neunte Runde eines geplanten 10-Runden-Halbschwergewichtskampfes.

 

 

 

Salamov, von Alkhan-Kala, Russland, gab sein USA-Debüt und trainiert im berühmten Kronk Gym in Detroit mit Javan „Sugar“ Hill Steward. In einem Kampf zwischen zwei langen und schlaksigen Kämpfern, Salamov landete 34 Prozent seiner Kraftschläge im Vergleich zu 27 Prozent für Howard und lag zum Zeitpunkt des KO auf allen drei Kampfrichtern vorne.

 

 

 

"Ich wurde in der zweiten Runde von einem seiner Schüsse ein wenig verletzt", aber ich habe mich davon nicht stören lassen, denn das sind meine USA. Debüt,Sagte Salamov, ein sechsjähriger Profi, der 24 Jahre alt. „Ich habe einfach weiter gekämpft. Nachdem ich von diesem Schlag getroffen wurde, Ich fing an, nach vorne zu kommen und sobald ich das getan hatte, der Kampf hat sich verändert.“

 

 

 

Salamov sagte, er habe gewusst, dass Howard verletzt war, als er auf der ersten rechten Seite verbunden war. "Ich wusste, sobald ich den Schlag landete, dass er sehr verletzt sein würde","Er sagte. „Ich habe es bis zum Ellbogen gespürt. Danach wollte ich ihn nicht mehr schlagen, weil ich wusste, dass er fertig war.“

 

 

 

Der ehemalige Cruisergewichtler Howard hatte einige Highlights und konnte seine rechte Hand mehrfach effektiv landen, einschließlich einer starken rechten Flanke in der siebten Runde, die Salamov . zu betäuben schien.

 

 

 

„Ich würde sagen, ich habe fair gehandelt, Ich habe es gut gemacht,“ sagte Howard, ein ehemaliger Minor-League-Footballspieler, der außerhalb von Atlanta lebt und sein SHOWTIME-Debüt gab. „Ich hatte das Glück, den Anruf von Salamovs Team und von SHOWTIME zu erhalten. Ich werde wiederkommen."

 

 

 

Der Tripleheader am Freitag wird am Montag wiederholt, Juni 25 bei 10 p.m. ET / PT auf EXTREME Showtime und wird auf Showtime ANYTIME zur Verfügung® und Showtime-on-Demand®.

FLASH ZITATE:

 

Claressa SHIELDS:

"Ich habe jetzt John David Jackson und ich habe so viel von ihm gelernt, seit wir uns im Februar getroffen haben. Ich hatte in der Vergangenheit Trainer, die versuchten, meinen Stil und mein Spiel zu ändern, Aber am Ende des Tages muss ich einfach hineingehen und kämpfen, wie ich es kann.

 

 

 

„Ich bin für mein letztes Lager in Flint, Sie würden nicht all die Dinge glauben, mit denen ich mich befassen musste. Nur Dinge, die einem Weltmeister nicht passieren sollten. Es war stressig, und ich war sogar in der Woche des Kampfes gestresst [im Januar]. Ich musste raus. Diesmal konnte ich in Florida trainieren.

 

 

 

"[Hannas] ein guter Kämpfer. Sie hat Fähigkeiten und genau so, wie sie sich selbst trägt. Sie ist sehr ruhig und ihre Mimik ändert sich nie. Ich habe den Kampf beobachtet, in dem sie ausgeknockt wurde, und selbst dann änderte sich ihr Gesichtsausdruck nicht. Ich denke sie ist hart, aber nicht so hart wie ich. Ich weiß, ich bin der bessere Kämpfer.

 

 

 

„Tori hat meine Macht unterschätzt. Ich denke, Tori hat eine Puncher-Chance [gegen Hammer]. Ich schließe meine Karriere nicht um Hammer. Unser Leben ist nicht miteinander verflochten. Ich muss mir Sorgen machen, was vor mir liegt. Ich werde diesen Kampf nicht sehen.

 

 

 

„Ich habe mich bei diesem Kampf auf meine Ernährung konzentriert. Ich habe nicht viel Familie in Florida und keine Ablenkungen. "

 

HANNA GABRIELS:

 

 

„Wir müssen auf den Tisch treten und sicherstellen, dass unser Spielplan auf den Punkt kommt, und wir geben den Fans, was sie sehen wollen, Das ist ein großartiger Kampf. Man muss viel überwinden und opfern, um an diesen Punkt zu gelangen, und mein Team hat das getan.

 

 

 

"Ich habe nie jemanden gefürchtet. Worte tun nichts. Wenn ich in den Ring steige, werde ich ein Biest sein.

 

 

 

"Ich bin mit allem, was kommt, einverstanden, Gewinn oder Verlust. Ich bin ein Champion und das ist meine Mentalität im Ring. Wir streben den Sieg an, und ich schätze alles, was passiert, um mich auf diesen Kampf vorzubereiten.

 

 

 

"Ich unterschätze ihre Macht nicht. Beim Boxen geht es aber nicht nur um Macht, es gibt so viel mehr. Du kannst mächtig sein, Aber kannst du den Schlag landen?? Kann es genau sein? Es gibt so viele Dinge im Ring, über die man sich Sorgen machen muss. “

 

CHRISTINA HAMMER:

 

 

"Ich war sehr enttäuscht, dass ich mich im Januar wegen meiner Visa-Probleme nicht wehren konnte.

 

 

 

"Ich war beim Kampf zwischen Claressa Shields und Tori Nelson und jetzt bin ich an der Reihe, in den Ring zu steigen. Ich gehe gerne vorwärts und bin aggressiv. Wenn du fertig bist, du beendest. Das amerikanische Volk wird meinen Stil mögen.

 

 

 

„Boxen ist meine Leidenschaft und mein Job, und ich bin vorbereitet und freue mich darauf. Jetzt ist der Tag da und es ist SHOWTIME. Wir denken nicht an Claressa Shields. Aus Respekt vor Tori Nelson, Ich konzentriere mich nur auf diesen Kampf. "

 

TORI NELSON:

 

 

"Ich bin ein Power Puncher und ich habe meine Beine mehr im Lager benutzt, also war dieses Lager so viel anders als ich es gewohnt bin.

 

 

 

„Sie sagen, dass die Beleuchtung nur einmal zuschlägt, aber ich habe noch eine Chance. Ich bin so dankbar, dass ich den Ruf für diesen Kampf bekommen habe. Dies ist meine zweite Chance. Viele Menschen bekommen keine zweite Chance.

 

 

 

„Ich muss wirklich etwas beweisen. Viele Leute haben an mich geglaubt und ich muss zeigen, was ich im Ring tun kann.

 

 

 

„Ich denke, Christina übersieht mich. Es ist respektlos, aber ich bin froh. Es ist besser für mich, dass sie mich übersieht. "

 

UMAR SALAMOV:

 

 

„Dieser Kampf wird ein guter Test sein. Ich weiß, dass ich es nach oben schaffen kann 10, und das ist mein fang.

 

 

 

"Es gibt einen großen Unterschied, hier in Detroit zu leben, aber es ist Moskau sehr ähnlich, Eine große Stadt.

 

 

 

„Ich liebe es zu kämpfen, und dies ist ein wahr gewordener Traum, nach Amerika zu kommen. Brian Howard ist ein harter Gegner. Es wird kein einfacher Kampf, aber ich bin zuversichtlich, dass ich ihn schlagen kann. "

 

BRIAN HOWARD:

 

 

„Ich habe ein bisschen Ringrost, aber ich werde scharf sein. Ich habe mich gut vorbereitet und bin in Form. Ich habe einen guten Stoffwechsel, und kann leicht Gewicht verlieren.

 

 

 

„Ich habe meinen ersten Verlust gemacht 2012 und nachdem ich diesen Verlust hinnehmen musste, hatte ich nicht die Unterstützung, die ich brauchte. Ich habe mich wieder darauf eingelassen und es war nur schwer, einen Kampf zu bekommen. Ich habe viele Nr.

 

 

 

"Ich habe ein Band von meinem Gegner gesehen. Aber Sie wissen nicht, ob er sich ändern oder etwas anderes mitbringen wird.

 

 

 

„Ich boxe besser als ich Fußball spiele. Mein Spitzname ist MVP - Most Vicious Puncher.

 

 

 

"Ich sehe es nicht so, dass ich der B-Side-Kämpfer bin. Dies ist eine echte Chance für mich, und ich werde es voll ausnutzen. "

Here is what Shields and Gabriels had to say today at the Downtown Boxing Gym in Detroit:

 

Claressa SHIELDS

 

“It’s been seven weeks of really hard work. A lot of people don’t know and I really don’t like to be open about it, but I got to 183 pounds after my last fight in January and now I’m 160. Das ist, 23 Pfund. I was in camp running and getting ready for the fight and having to focus on weight was very different for me.

 

 

“I feel good and ready to go. I’m happy that she made it in safe and all that but now I’m just excited. You all know how I get before fights. The champ is here.

 

 

 

 

“So much has changed since I first turned pro. In my first fight, I was frustrated against Franchon (Crews Dezurn) during our fight. I was frustrated throughout camp and I really couldn’t handle everything that was going on. Now I know how to handle the media, the workouts, the interviews and still remain disciplined. The fact that I had to lose so much weight this camp only added more discipline.

 

 

 

“It makes me so happy and it just touches my heart to see four female fighters on the main fight poster. I was so happy that they decided to put them on TV. They have put me on before but it’s always been my goal to put other women on so when they decided to put Tori Nelson and Christina Hammer on I was so excited because this has never been done before. Women’s boxing is going somewhere.

 

 

 

“I always knew that it would take me to turn professional for women’s boxing to go to a higher level. That’s why I waited to win a second Gold Medal before I turned professional. To be the one to be the leader is special. I feel like I go out there every fight and give my best and show that I can box better than 90 percent of the men that box. If you have a choice to make a man the main event or me the main event, I always want them to choose me.

 

 

 

“There’s always mutual respect between me and my opponents. I’m thankful for them because I can’t do this by myself. I thank Hanna for stepping up and it’s mutual respect until Friday. I start getting really mean on Thursday,Friday is the fight and then after that we can exchange numbers and be friends.

 

 

 

“I expect her to use her gifts. She’s really good on her legs and she’s strong up top. I think she lacks in speed so I expect her to try to counter me and try to force me to make mistakes with her movement. I think she underrates my power.

 

 

 

“I never said that I wanted to get more knockouts. I’m perfectly fine being 5-0 mit zwei Knockouts. Am Ende des Tages, I’m fine with that. The longer I’m in the ring boxing, desto besser. The more they get to see me on TV, that’s fine. Of course I would love to get the big knockout but look how disappointed Errol Spence Jr. was to get such a quick knockout of Ocampo. That didn’t please his fans. Wenn der Knockout kommt, es kommt.

 

 

 

“This will be my toughest fight. She’s the most skilled and has the most experience. She’s a three-time world champion. I’ve fought former world champions but she’s a three-time world champion to date. The girl that beat her, Hanna avenged that loss. I’m looking forward to her coming out and putting 100 percent in and I hope for us to have a great fight.

 

“I’m always confident going into fights. I’m not leaving the ring without having two new belts.”

 

HANNA GABRIELS

 

“I think that this is a time right now where women can have this type of platform. Claressa is a great champion and I have faced great women’s champions. I think it’s a great time for boxing fans to enjoy a quality fight. She’s a champion. Ich bin ein Champion. This will be a great matchup.

 

 

 

“You are going to see a very technical and aggressive fighter. That’s the only way that you can fight Claressa because she’s so aggressive herself and so tough, you can’t go in the ring passive against her. You have to put your life on the line in there and that’s what I’m planning to do.

 

 

 

“I feel honored to be on such a great card. This is a great opportunity and I just hope everybody sees this the way that I do. We trained hard. In my case, I wanted to bring the very best out of myself so the fans could leave the arena feeling great. Dies ist, was Boxen geht. Bringing entertainment and emotions that most other sports don’t bring to people.

 

 

 

„Dieser Kampf bedeutet mir sehr viel. Every person that I love is going through a hard time right now, including my family. I just want to lead by example and show everybody that all odds are nothing. You can still fight the battle with as many resources or as little resources as you have. I’m dedicating this fight to all my loved ones because I promise there will be better times for us.

 

 

 

“When I was five years old I was sexually abused so my teenage years were tough. Sports always took me away from that. When I got an injury and I had to stop competing in track, I thought my life was over. For the next five or six years, I was very destructive and felt like I didn’t have a purpose. When I turned 24, I started a different passage and learned that everything that happened to me just made me the person I am today.

 

 

 

“We don’t really focus on anybody’s weaknesses because we believe if you’re a good professional and you are dedicating your life to this, you are supposed to get better at your weaknesses. So we focus on her strengths and I think we have a great plan. They say that she’s been underestimating me a lot but I think it’s part of her game and part of what she does.

 

 

 

“I think her strengths are pretty obvious. She has great feet. I don’t know if she punches hard but she’s very explosive. She must have a lot of power and she’s very defensive. She keeps her distance and she’s so big and I’m so small that we will have to risk a lot of things. Her confidence is one of her biggest strengths.

 

 

 

“This will probably be my toughest fight so far. I never had an amateur career, I had just one fight. Claressa has fought 80-something times so my schooling has been in the professional environment and I have had to learn in the process. Every fight has been a hard fight because I have to solve problems and I think she is definitely the toughest opponent because she’s so tall and so fast. She must walk around normally at 185 pounds and I’m not as big so we were a little worried at the beginning at how we would reach her body but we finally were able to figure that out in training and I’m confident that my game is going to surprise her a lot.

 

 

 

“Hopefully we can bring a surprise and people will get to see me and let everybody know that there are more great boxers out there that aren’t getting the same exposure or marketing that Claressa is getting. I don’t feel disrespected, I see this is an opportunity to show what I’ve been working on. Let them plan. Maybe those plans will fall.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be a great fight. She’s coming for the victory and I’m coming for the victory as well. She’s in for a big surprise.”

FRISCO, TEXAS (Juni 16, 2018) – Errol Spence Jr. defended his IBF Welterweight World Championship with a first-round knockout of previously undefeated mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo in a homecoming fight Saturday on SHOWTIME at Ford Center at The Star. VIDEO: https://s.sho.com/2HTG4Zv

 

 

 

A sellout crowd of more than 12,600 fans packed Ford Center at The Star in Frisco to witness Spence’s first homecoming defense as champion and his first fight in Dallas since 2015. The consensus top-5 pound-for-pound fighter did not disappoint, pounding the body from the opening bell with his trademark body attack and superb ring generalship.

 

 

 

Spence, who was making his second defense as a 147-pound champion, floored Ocampo with a brutal 1-2 body shot combo, the second punch landing flush on the challenger’s side and instantly flooring him as the opening round concluded. Ocampo (22-1, 13 KOs) crippled over in pain while on the canvas, was unable to beat the count and remained on the floor for more than two minutes while Spence celebrated his victory.

 

 

 

“I was a little disappointed. I wanted to give the crowd their money’s worth,” Spence said. “I wanted him to sustain a bit and give him some punishment, but the body shot got him and I dropped him.”

 

 

 

It was the ninth time Spence (24-0, 21 KOs) has floored an opponent with a body shot in his 24 Profi-Kämpfe.

 

 

 

“I knew if I hit him again he would probably drop,” Spence said. “That was my game plan. I’m the body snatcher. If he reacts weirdly, I just keep going to the body and I keep breaking him down.”

 

 

 

Nach dem Kampf, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones joined Spence in the ring to congratulate him on the victory.

 

 

 

“This moment is a dream,” Spence said. “I wanted to play for the Dallas Cowboys and now I’m fighting in front of the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones. Thank you to the whole Dallas Cowboys organization.

 

 

 

“We’ll definitely be back after I unify some titles. We’ll make this an annual thing where I fight here.”

 

 

 

Jones was thrilled with what was the first boxing event inside the Ford Center at The Star, the centerpiece of the 91-acre campus of the Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters and practice facility.

 

 

 

“This room was full of Dallas Cowboys football players supporting you,” Jones said. “They share your passion. I saw a guy in this ring who knew what he wanted. When you knock a guy out by hitting him once on the side of his back, you’re bad to the bone.

 

 

 

“I love his awareness. He had a plan from the beginning. He is exceptionally gifted. He has family that is behind him and our family, the Cowboys, want to be behind him as well.”

 

 

 

Nach dem Kampf, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame last Sunday, asked Spence what he would like to do next.

 

 

 

“I want to fight the best,” Spence promised. “Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter are fighting each other (for the WBC title) and I definitely want to make that a unifying fight. We both have the same management, we both fight on SHOWTIME. Why not make that happen? I definitely want that fight whenever it’s available.”

 

 

 

In der TV-Ko-Funktion, Danny Roman defended his WBA Super Bantamweight World Championship with a unanimous decision over previously undefeated Moises Flores in a 12-round fight that was scored 116-112, 118-110, 120-108.

 

 

 

The champion Roman (24-2-1, 9 KOs) was the faster and sharper fighter from the opening bell. Römer, who was making the second defense of his 122-pound belt, pounded the body repeatedly over 12 Runde, connecting on a staggering 50 percent of his body shots. Blumen (25-1, 17 KOs), who failed to make weight for the title fight and was unable to win the belt, tired in the latter half of the fight and was largely a stationary target for Roman for 12 Runde.

 

 

 

Both fighters threw more than 1,000 Stanzen, yet it was Roman who was the more effective boxer, connecting on an impressive 42 Prozent seiner Macht Schüsse.

 

 

 

“I was trying to box him. We tried to do a smart fight,” Roman said. “We tried to take him out, but unfortunately we couldn’t.

 

 

 

“I would like to unify. I would like to challenge any of the champions. I’d love to face Rey Vargas or Isaac Dogboe. I don’t mind going back to Japan either.”

 

 

 

“I know I messed up in training,Sagte Flores. “I didn’t make the weight, but I still wanted to perform and give it everything I have.

 

 

 

“We both hit each other a lot. ich schlage (Römer) with some good shots, I just couldn’t finish him. I was probably around 60 percent energy-wise. From the fifth round on I had to just fight with pure heart.

 

 

 

"(Römer) eine großartige Show für die Fans, and that’s what makes me feel great. That’s all I wanted was to put on a good fight.”

 

 

 

In der Eröffnungsrede Kampf der Showtime Championship Boxing Fernsehsendung, Javier Fortuna suffered an injury while falling through the ropes due to an accidental push in the fourth round and his 140-pound matchup with Adrian Granados was ruled a No Decision.

 

 

 

Granados (18-6-2, 11 KOs) and Fortuna (33-2-1, 23 KOs) both came out swinging from the opening bell. In a wild fourth round, Fortuna was deducted two points, first for punching to the back of the head, and second for holding. After the second point deduction, the former 130-pound champion Fortuna aggressively moved forward and unloaded a series of shots.

 

 

 

Augenblicke später, Granados and Fortuna were clinching along the ropes near Granados’ corner when Fortuna fell backward through the ropes, whipping his neck as he fell back. Complaining of pain and lack of movement, Fortuna was stabilized with a neck brace and removed from the ring on a stretcher in what was later described as a precautionary measure.

 

 

 

Zum Zeitpunkt des Stillstands, Grandos was leading on all three of the judges’ scorecards.

 

 

 

“I didn’t push him. I think he fell with his own,"Granados, sagte. “I think he was looking for an excuse on his way out. We were both battling, but I knew he could feel I was getting stronger. He caught me with a shot and it just turned me up.

 

 

 

“First and foremost I just want to pray that he’s OK. Let’s do the rematch. I’ve been dying for a fight at 140.”

 

 

 

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will re-air on Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available via SHOWTIME ON DEMAND and SHOWTIME ANYTIME.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday ahead of the first boxing event to take place inside Ford Center at The Star:

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

 

 

“I’m really happy to be here and I’m so happy that everyone came out. Saturday night is going to be great. Ich habe trainiert für 10 weeks and I’m 100 percent focused on Ocampo. I’m here to do my job, which is to win and look good winning.

 

 

 

“Ocampo is very dangerous because he has nothing to lose. It’s his first title fight, which is a position I’ve been in before. I had a lot of fire and I felt like I had nothing to lose. I’m sure he’s been training hard and is focused. I know he’s fighting for him family so he’s going to come to fight. I want a guy who’s going to test me so the crowd gets their money’s worth.

 

 

 

“I’ve had pressure my whole boxing career. Being on Olympian and a top prospect was pressure, but then I also went overseas to take the title from a top fighter. I’ve always overcome the pressure on me and I’m going to overcome another test on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“Every fight is a statement fight. Es spielt keine Rolle, die ich kämpfe. All eyes are on me in the welterweight division. People want to see if there are chinks in my armor, so it’s important for me to put on a great performance and prove I’m the best welterweight in the division.

 

 

 

“Dallas already is a boxing town, just not enough boxing comes here. I can be the star who has annual fights and bring the city out like we’re doing Saturday night. I’m going to prove we’re a boxing city in Dallas and that Texas is a boxing state period. I do this for the whole state.

 

 

 

“We work hard every camp and we’re 100 percent dedicated. There hasn’t been much difference in this camp than normal. The sparring with Jermell Charlo was top quality and has me prepared for Saturday night.

 

 

 

“I’m ready to line up those other champions. I’ve said that since I was 15-0. I want to fight every opponent and take them out no matter who it is. I’m here to prove that I’m the best in the division.”

 

CARLOS OCAMPO

 

 

 

“We’re here on the same stage and I’m ready. I’m appreciative to be here and I’m calm. I have nothing to lose. He has all the pressure of being in his hometown. I’m just relaxed and ready to fight.

 

 

 

“I’ve studied his fights enough. What’s most important is that I know that he has everything to lose and I don’t. He has a home field advantage, aber am ende des tages, it’s just two guys in the ring.

 

 

 

“I’ve gotten a great reception from the people here in Dallas. I’ve been treated like a champion and after Saturday I’ll be a world champion. You don’t want to miss this fight.

 

 

 

“He can try to come and knock me out, but this is my dream. This is what I’ve trained my whole life for and I’m not going to let this chance pass me by.

 

 

 

“I’m going to use my height, distance and jab throughout the fight. The counter will be important for me. I’m going to look to catch him so he better be ready.

 

 

 

“Ich werde alles in den Ring zu verlassen. I’m going to show what I have and give everyone a great performance from start to finish.”

 

DANIEL ROMAN

 

 

 

“Flores is a tough opponent. I don’t overlook anybody. I know he’s going to come in and fight. Defending my belt is the only thing that’s on my mind.

 

 

 

“We work hard like always. The only thing that changes in camp is strategy, and we will be ready for anything Flores can bring.

 

 

 

“We’re going to be ready for his pressure. I’m going to fight a smart fight. If we have a chance to take him out early, then I’m going to jump on it. You never know what could happen in a fight.

 

 

 

“Flores is not an easy opponent. Nobody is at this level. I just work hard every day like it’s my first shot at a world title. I know that if I put in the work, everything will come together in the ring.”

 

MOISES FLORES

 

“Roman is a good fighter, that’s why we’re here. Hopefully on Saturday night he won’t be able to take my volume of punches. I’m going to bring pressure for every moment of the fight and we’ll see if he holds up.

 

 

 

“Everyone knows that I like to come forward and make exciting fights. There will be drama and I’m expecting to come out of there with my hand raised.

 

 

 

“On Saturday night I’m going to get redemption for everything that happened in my last fight and deliver a win and an exciting fight. This is a chance that I’ve worked and trained hard to get again.”

 

JAVIER FORTUNA

 

 

 

“Everyone knows what I can do here in the ring. I’m very glad to be here meeting Granados, because we’re going to give the fans a a great fight on Saturday that’s going to steal the show.

 

 

 

“I know that Granados has fought a lot of top opposition, but on Saturday night, I’m going to be a different fighter than he’s ever seen in the ring.

 

 

 

“This will be a battle. Everyone will see on fight night what the difference is between me and him. I’m a special fighter. I’m going to prove it again on Saturday.”

 

ADRIAN GRANADOS

 

 

 

“It’s been a long hard road to this fight. I know I have marks on my record, but I can easily say that I know all of them have been controversial. I’ve pushed through everything and I know that I’m truly respected as a fighter.

 

 

 

“I’m always going to bring the same fire and determination to the ring. If my opponent is brave enough to stand with me, then it’s going to be all-action. So oder so, I’m coming to break him down and get the victory.

 

 

 

‘Recently I’ve gone against a lot of opposition that is naturally bigger than me, but I’ve never backed down or been afraid of any of them. This fight is going to prove that I belong in the upper echelon of boxing.

 

 

 

“I’ve checked out Fortuna’s fights and he’s a scrapper. He likes to bang too in the ring just like I do. It’s all the recipes for a can’t miss fight.”

 

DERRICK JAMES, Spence Trainer

 

 

 

“I’m very happy to see everybody out here and we’re so glad that the fans are getting involved. This city means everything to me and Errol, so to bring a great night like this and have this huge reception from the fans, is a little bit of extra motivation.

 

 

 

“I think we’re going to see a great fight. Ocampo is very tough opposition and Errol has trained very hard. We’re going to see the best Errol Spence on Saturday night and I’m sure we’ll see the best Carlos Ocampo, which should make for a fun night for the fans.”

 

BRITTANY GOOSSEN BROWN, Vice President of TGB Promotions

 

 

 

“We are so excited for Saturday night and to be bringing the first boxing event inside Ford Center at The Star. Dallas is a great fight town and who better to headline the first title fight here in 50 years than hometown favorite Errol Spence Jr.? He is sure to put on a great performance for his hometown fans.

 

 

 

“It has truly been a pleasure to work with the entire Dallas Cowboys organization throughout this promotion and we hope this is just the start of bringing sellout crowds here to the heart of Texas. We can’t wait to see you all there on Saturday night.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Präsident Sport & Events Programming, Showtime Network Inc.

 

 

 

“SHOWTIME is thrilled to be here at The Star for the first boxing event inside of Ford Center. Week after week and month after month, we’ve delivered the best fighters in the most meaningful fights to boxing fans. Saturday is the 11th SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING this year. These events have featured more than 15 WM-Titel kämpft, just in the first six months of the year. We’re doing more boxing and more high quality boxing than any other network by far.

 

 

 

“Saturday is no exception, especially in terms of quality. Errol Spence Jr. is a consensus top five pound-for-pound fighter. He’s knocked out 10 straight fighters and it was 2014 when an opponent last went the distance. Errol is in many ways our Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys quarterback), he’s a young star, a fan favorite and we expect him to be one of the faces of the sport for years to come.

 

 

 

“If you know of the tradition of Mexican fighters in this sport, then you know that Carlos Ocampo cannot be overlooked. He’s coming to win and that makes him very dangerous and should create an exciting fight.

 

 

 

“Both of the opening bouts leading up to the main event on SHOWTIME are significant bouts with fighters that bring all action styles to the ring.”

HALL OF FAME BROADCASTER AL BERNSTEIN MARKS 15-YEAR MILESTONE WITH SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

Legendary Boxing Analyst Has Been Part of the Biggest and Most Memorable Events In Boxing History

Kredit: SHOW TIME

NEW YORK (Juni 13, 2018) – Legendary Boxing Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein has reached another career milestone: fifteen years of broadcasting the sport on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.

Bernstein provided expert analysis for the largest pay-per-view event in television history. He ranks the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao “Fight of the Century” the most significant broadcast of his career, one that spans three-and-a-half decades.

“I have great memories throughout my more than 37-year television career, but the last 15 years at SHOWTIME have been the most productive and enjoyable,” said the Chicago native and longtime Las Vegas resident Bernstein. “I have worked with extraordinary colleagues both in front of and behind the camera as we chronicled some of the most important and exciting boxing matches of this era.”

Bernstein was ringside providing expert analysis when Anthony Joshua TKO’d Wladimir Klitschko in the spring of 2017 vor 90,000 raucous fans at Wembley Stadium in London for the IBF and WBA heavyweight world title belts. He places that at No. 2 on his biggest matches list, with Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor right behind that at No. 3. Mayweather also gets the nod at No. 4 as boxing’s all-time great dominated Canelo Alvarez in 2013. Bernstein’s fifth most memorable all-time SHOWTIME moment was in Manchester, England when Joe Calzaghe dominated Jeff Lacy in the mega-fight dubbed “Judgment Day.”

“I’ve had a front row seat to watch great champions in great matches,” Bernstein said. “And I’ve participated in what I think is the best television production in the sport of boxing. I’m honored to have participated in this special period of SHOWTIME Boxing and I am energized by the great fights of today and the future of the sport.”

Bernstein ranks the legendary Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo bout as the best fight he has ever covered, followed by Israel Vasquez vs Rafael Marquez 3 und dann, the recent Erislandy Lara vs. Jarrett Hurd barnburner from earlier this year. Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Orlando Salido 1 and the Klitschko-Joshua mega fight round out his top five best SHOWTIME fights.
