SHOWTIME Sports continues to lead the industry with the biggest events, the most important matchups, week after week, month after month,” a déclaré Stephen Espinoza, Sport Président & programmation des événements, Showtime Network Inc. “Mikey Garcia vs. Robert Jr Pâques. is the third world championship unification match on SHOWTIME this year. A consensus top-10 pound-for-pound champion facing an undefeated young champion while both are in the prime of their careers. Juillet 28 has all the makings of an instant classic.

 

 

 

“Mikey Garcia vs. Robert Easter is an outstanding lightweight matchup that is sure to deliver drama for fight fans at STAPLES Center and on SHOWTIME,” Said Tom Brown, Président de TGB Promotions. “Garcia will look to unify in his hometown and further solidify his credentials as boxing’s pound-for-pound best. He’ll have perhaps the toughest test of his career in the unbeaten Easter, who has a lethal combination of size, speed and power that he brings to the ring. With both fighters defending their titles and undefeated records, this is shaping up to be a can’t-miss night of boxing in downtown Los Angeles.

 

 

 

This is the kind of matchup that boxing fans love and a fight that I believe will certainly live up to expectations,” Schaefer a déclaré Richard, Président & PDG de Sport Ringstar. “With two undefeated world champions, and two of the top guys at 135 livres, this fight is guaranteed drama. Mikey Garcia will look to become a unified world champion and add another accolade to a career that is already shaping up to be historic. Robert Jr Pâques, a proud champion in his own right, is coming to STAPLES Center on July 28 to upset Mikey Garcia in his hometown. This is the quality of matchup that fans watching on SHOWTIME have come to expect and I suspect they will be fulfilled once again when these two warriors meet in the ring.

 

 

 

We are really looking forward to this incredible fight at STAPLES Center,” a déclaré Lee Zeidman, Président, STAPLES Center. “These two fighters will undoubtedly headline an amazing night of fights for boxing fans in Los Angeles and we are looking forward to welcoming back Premier Boxing Champions and SHOWTIME for the second time in just two months.

 

 

 

One of Southern California’s most popular fighters, Garcia returns to STAPLES Center for his first fight since becoming a world champion, and his first in California in seven years. Easter returns to the site of his professional debut, having started his career at STAPLES Center in 2012 after serving as an alternate in the London Olympic Games.

 

 

 

Garcia (38-0, 30 KOs), de Moreno Valley par voie de Oxnard, Calif., became only the third fighter in modern history to become champion at 126, 130, 135 et 140 livres, joining future Hall of Famers Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao, when he defeated Sergey Lipinets for the IBF 140-pound title in March. The 30-year-old relinquished that title so that he can unify the WBC Lightweight World Championship that he won in January 2017 with a highlight reel knockout of Dejan Zlaticanin (CliquezICI to watch Garcia-Zlaticanin KO video)

 

 

 

These wins, combined with a summer 2017 victory over Adrien Broner, have seen Garcia return to the top of pound-for-pound lists after a layoff of two and a half years. Garcia accrued wins over a list of notable names while winning his first two titles at 126 et 130 livres, including Orlando Salido, Roman Martinez and Juan Manuel Lopez.

 

 

 

This is the toughest fight of my career to date,” said the four-division champion Garcia. “Robert Jr Pâques. is an undefeated world champion who presents serious challenges that I’m going to have to work hard to overcome. Unifying titles is something I’ve dreamed of doing for many years, and to do it at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles will make it even more special. This is the kind of fight that will help my legacy. To be the best you have to beat the best, and Easter is certainly one of the best out there. I’m very thankful to have this opportunity and I’m going to make the most of it on July 28.

 

 

 

Representing his hometown of Toledo, Ohio, Pâques (21-0, 14 KOs) has made three successful defenses since winning his world title in an exciting contest over Richard Commey in 2016. The 27-year-old delivered a fifth-round destruction of former champion Argenis Mendez to earn the title shot, and since winning the title has held off challenges from Javier Fortuna, Denis Shafikov and Luis Cruz to retain his 135-pound belt.

 

 

 

Easter will be making the move to work with Kevin Cunningham for the first time for this fight and conducting training camp in West Palm Beach with him. Cunningham, the longtime trainer of former world champions such as Devon Alexander and Cory Spinks, spurred Adrien Broner to a strong performance in a draw against Jessie Vargas and Gervonta Davis to a dominant knockout of Jesus Cuellar in their first fights together in April.

 

 

 

This is a fight I’ve been waiting for and I’m really excited that the time is now,” dit Pâques. “C'est le meilleur combat le meilleur. These are the fights that boxing is all about. I made the move to train with Kevin Cunningham down in Florida and I think it’s going to help me reach another level. It’s just eat, sleep and train down there. We’re going to be ready on July 28 to put on a show and deliver fireworks.

LOS ANGELES (Juin 9, 2018) – In an electrifying war that had the STAPLES Center crowd on its feet chanting for more, Leo Santa Cruz defended his WBA Featherweight World Championship by winning a unanimous decision against four-division world champion Abner Mares in their rematch Saturday night on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®.

 

 

 

In almost an exact replica stat-wise of the first fight that Santa Cruz won by majority decision in 2015, the Los Angeles-native and three-division world champion Santa Cruz won on all three of the judgesscorecards against Mares by scores of 115-113, 116-112, et 117-111.

 

 

 

Avec la victoire, Santa Cruz (34-1-1, 19 KOs) takes one more step toward a possible unification fight in the competitive 126-pound division, one of boxing’s deepest.

 

 

 

“Il se sent bien,” Santa Cruz a déclaré. “Abner is a great fighter. He left his heart out there. It was a tough fight but thank God we got the victory. I had to be smarter, that’s why it was not a bigger war but it was a good one.

 

 

 

Similar to the first time the two Mexican-American warriors met, which resulted in more than 2,000 punches being thrown, un total de 1,992 totals punches were thrown in Saturday’s fight with Santa Cruz throwing 1,061 to Mares’ 931. Santa Cruz landed 357 poinçons par rapport à 208 for Mares.

 

 

 

Mères (31-2-1, 15 KOs) started fast, winning the first two rounds on SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood’s card before Santa Cruz kicked it in another gear and went to work.

 

 

 

It was a ‘Fight of the Yearlike I told you,” lesdits Mares. “I hope you like the fight because we fought for you, Los Angeles. Gagner ou perdre, we did it for the fans. Ce était un grand combat.”

 

 

 

Il ajouta: “C'est ce que c'est. I don’t want to discuss scores. The judges decided that, and that’s it. I’ll do it again. Faisons le encore. Mares-Santa Cruz 3.

 

 

 

In what SHOWTIME announcer Mauro Ranallo termed aFeatherweight Fiesta,” Santa Cruz dictated the pace from the third round on, utilizing his reach and working off the jab.

 

 

 

Santa Cruz suffered a cut above his left eye in the eighth round. “A cut is a cut, it wasn’t bothering me as much,” Santa Cruz a déclaré. “I didn’t let that distract me. I had cuts before. You keep on fighting.

 

 

 

Mères, a former three-division world champion and a veteran of 10 combats de championnat du monde, had famed trainer Robert Garcia in his corner for this fight. “I said it before the fight: whoever wins this fight will be the number one featherweight. Santa Cruz won so he’s No. 1. I tip my hat off to him.

 

 

 

When asked if he’s the No. 1 featherweight in the division, Santa Cruz replied: “Hopefully I am. I’ll leave it to the fans to decide. Je veux Gary Russell Jr. suivant. I want to unify. I’m ready for everyone, whoever and whenever.

 

 

 

In the co-main event of the doubleheader, Jermell Charlo (31-0, 15 KOs) recorded a majority decision victory by outpointing former world champion Austin Truite (31-5, 17 KOs) to defend his WBC Super Welterweight World Championship. Charlo’s four-fight knockout streak ended in his third world title defense. Two judges scored it 118-108 et 115-111 in favor of Charlo, and third scored it 113-113.

 

 

 

Sometimes you knock them out, sometimes you just beat them.” Saïd Charlo, who has now defended his 154-pound title three times. “I went to fish, I tried to get some trout but I couldn’t catch him on the hook. I know they’re used to seeing me knock boys out but at least they saw me take care of business.

 

 

 

Charlo recorded two knockdowns in the bout. Trout hit the canvas for the first time in the final minute of the third round as Charlo applied heavy pressure, first connecting on a big right followed by a counter left hook that knocked Trout off balance. Just eight seconds into the ninth, Trout went to one knee on a Charlo left hook to the side of Trout’s head. It was the sixth time Trout had been down in his career. Charlo continued to exert punishment on the game but tiring Trout.

 

 

 

Take those knockdowns away I won the fight,” said the southpaw Trout, 32, who also went the distance in a unanimous-decision loss against Jermell’s twin brother and interim middleweight titleholder Jermall in 2016. “I can’t make any excuses, the better man won with those knockdowns.

 

 

 

Both Jermell and Jermall are really good. They are the future. But I’m not done yet. I’m not defined by my results. I’m defined by the risks I take. I’ve taken the risks and I’ve stood my ground every time against giants and killers. And I’m still here.

 

 

 

More accurate than Trout connecting on his punches the entire fight, Charlo went on a relentless attack in the 10e, connecting on multiples power punches that seemed to faze Trout. Charlo continued his attack in the 11e et 12e, choosing to stay upstairs as opposed to going to the body.

 

 

 

Trout will tell you who will win that fight,” Charlo said of a potential unification with IBF and WBA 154-pound titleholder Jarret Hurd. “That’s why he survived 12. If Hurd sat in front of me and took those shots he’s done.

 

 

 

During the SHOWTIME BOXING CHAMPIONSHIP telecast it was announced that WBC Lightweight World Champion Mikey Garcia and IBF Lightweight World Champion Robert Jr Pâques. will meet in a 135-pound unification showdown between unbeaten stars Saturday, Juillet 28 live on SHOWTIME from STAPLES Center.

 

 

 

We were fighting at 140 but I always had my mind set act coming back to lightweight,” Garcia a déclaré. “The only fight that made sense was a unification and the fighter available was Robert Easter Jr. He’s a champion and the man to beat. It’s great to be back to finally give my fans here in Southern California a fight. Now that we are I get to give them a unification match and the biggest fight of my career to date.

 

 

 

I got my fight on July 28, but there’s been a lot of talk about [Vasyl] Lomachenko and me over the past year. If I get through Robert Easter I’d be unified champ and the only other fight that makes sense is Lomachenko,” il ajouta.

 

 

 

Easter recently changed trainers and is now working with Kevin Cunningham. “Lomachenko and Mikey are two skillful guys in the lightweight division and two guys I want to fight,” Easter. “Me and Mikey will do the talking in the ring. My height and my reach will give anyone problems as long as I use them skillfully.

Maurice Hooker Scores Split-Decision Upset Victory Over Terry Flanagan For WBO 140-Pound World Championship Belt

LOS ANGELES (Juin 9, 2018) – Former Unified Heavyweight World Champion Tyson Fury scored a fourth-round TKO over Sefer Seferi at Manchester Arena in Manchester, Angleterre, on Saturday in a bout that was streamed live to U.S. audiences via SHOWTIME Sports social media platforms.

 

 

 

The 6-foot-9, 275-plus pound Fury, who outweighed Seferi by more than 65 pounds following Friday’s weigh-in, looked rusty in the scheduled 10-rounder, his first bout in more than 31 mois. Seferi sat on his stool after four completed rounds and did not answer the bell for round five.

 

 

 

Fureur (26-0, 19 KOs) playfully bounced around for the first few rounds, and was even warned for a lack of activity in the second round against a severely undermanned Seferi (23-2, 21 KOs). Fury is likely to face a tougher opponent in his next fight set for September in a division currently ruled by world title holders Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.

 

 

 

Fury’s return to the ring came after 924 days of inactivity due to bouts of depression and admitted drug use following an upset victory over Wladimir Klitschko to take Klitschko’s WBA, IBF and WBO world titles.

 

 

 

In a fight that preceded Fury-Seferi, undefeated American Maurice Hooker won a split-decision upset victory over hometown favorite Terry Flanagan to capture the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight World Championship belt. Les scores étaient 117-111, 115-113 for Hooker, et 117-111 for Flanagan.

 

 

 

With blood streaming down his face, the former lightweight title holder Flanagan (33-1, 13 KOs), who suffered a deep cut on the forehead after an accidental head butt in the seventh round, couldn’t overcome the aggressive Hooker (24-0-3, 16 KOs), who just like training partner Errol Spence Jr., had to travel overseas to win his first world title.

 

 

 

Talonneur, a 28-years-old Dallas native, was fighting for the first time outside of the United States against Flanagan, who was a 135-pound champion for three years with five defenses before moving up to the 140-pound class.

 

 

 

Avec la victoire, Hooker became the 76e ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération alum to win a world title, joining the likes of Spence and Wilder.

 

 

 

Boxing broadcaster Ray Flores and analyst Chris Mannix delivered pre and post-fight analysis from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles for the SHOWTIME Sports audience.

 

 

 

Later on Saturday night, WBA Super Featherweight Champion du Monde Leo Santa Cruz will rematch former three-division world champion Abner Mares sur Showtime Championship Boxing® (10 p.m. ET/PT delayed on the West Coast) from Staples Center in Los Angeles. Dans l'ouvreur télédiffusé, Houston’s Jermell Charlo will defend his WBC Super Welterweight World Title against former world champion Austin Trout.

FNU Sports de combat Voir: Énorme week-end pour la boxe, UFC 225 et PFL Debut Night

Tom, Tony et Rich ont une tonne de terrain à couvrir dans cet épisode. Nous récapitulons les combats les plus importants de la semaine dernière, à commencer par le premier événement de boxe bareknuckle sanctionné depuis des centaines d'années. Nous décomposons également la dernière carte UFC Fight Night où Jimmie Rivera a pris la première défaite lors de sa dernière 21 combats. Nous discutons de la tirade de Dana White contre les combattants qui ne prennent pas les combats que l'entreprise veut qu'ils fassent, et nous blâmons Canelo Alvarez et son équipe pour avoir détruit toutes les chances d'un autre combat avec GGG. Nous prenons une bonne partie du spectacle pour décrire et analyser tous les différents matchs de boxe qui se déroulent ce samedi, du retour de Tyson Fury sur le ring contre Sefer Seferi à la bataille de livre pour livre meilleur et poids welters invaincus Jeremy Horn et Terrence Crawford combattant sur ESPN + (que nous critiquons fortement). Nous abordons également la première carte de la PFL, une ligue de combat où tous les prix arrivent à la fin de la saison. Finalement, nous visionnons l'UFC 225 et discutez des chances de CM Punk de prouver qu'il est un vrai combattant en cage.
