纽约 - 四月 30, 2018 – Prolific combat sports broadcaster Mauro Ranallo and his lifelong battle with mental illness are the subject of a new documentary film from SHOWTIME Sports®. BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER – named for the moniker Ranallo gave himself as a broadcast personality and DJ in the early 90’s – will premiere on SHOWTIME during Mental Health Awareness Month on Friday, 五月 25 在 9 P.M. ET / PT.

Ranallo has Bipolar Affective Disorder, a condition afflicting nearly five percent of the U.S. population according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI.org). As a national sportscaster for preeminent boxing, mixed martial arts and WWE events, Ranallo has long been an advocate for ending the stigma of mental illness. 现在, 首次, he exposes the true extent of his daily struggle. Through extensive behind-the-scenes video footage, candid personal interviews and detailed accounts from his loved ones and doctors, BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER takes an unflinching look at mental illness and its effects.

 

 

 

The film explores Ranallo’s career, including his work on the two biggest pay-per-view events in television history, and his relentless pursuit of a childhood dream despite seemingly insurmountable odds. Through this deeply personal portrait, Ranallo hopes that the film might inspire others to persevere in pursuing their dreams despite the challenges of a mental health condition.

 

 

 

“I have always tried to do my part to bring awareness to mental health issues,” said Ranallo. “Over the last several years, I allowed my best friend, Haris (Usanovic), to film me at my lowest points as well as at my highest. The idea is simply to show others who suffer that they are not alone and that, even when the outlook is bleak, you can overcome and achieve success. Mental illness is a life sentence—there is no cure—but it doesn’t have to be a death sentence.”

 

 

 

“Through BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER, Mauro Ranallo has chosen to share not only his life’s dreams, but his nightmares as well,“斯蒂芬·埃斯皮诺萨说, 总统, Sports and Event Programming for Showtime Networks Inc. “Having reached the pinnacle of his profession, Mauro bravely turns his keen observational skills inward to examine his own life-long battle. The result is a raw, poignant and ultimately inspirational film that personifies Mauro’s courage and selflessness.”

 

 

 

Ranallo is a popular fixture on today’s combat sports scenes. In a career that has spanned more than 30 岁月, he has called everything from “All-Star Wrestling,” a Canadian professional wrestling outfit, to historic MMA events for PRIDE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIPS out of Japan, to WWE SmackDown Live on USA Network, to many of the biggest boxing events in the world for SHOWTIME Sports. Ranallo was the first broadcaster to call play-by-play on boxing, 跆拳道, MMA and professional wrestling events on national television.

 

 

 

今天, Ranallo is the voice of three prominent nationally televised series: 精彩表演拳击锦标赛®, WWE’s weekly show NXT on WWE Network, 和 BELLATOR MMA 在派拉蒙网络上. Perhaps best known for his dramatic, excitable style, Ranallo is a student of the English language. He has already made a lasting mark on the industry having called the two biggest pay-per-view events in television history: Floyd Mayweather vs. 帕奎奥 (五月 2015, international telecast); 和梅威瑟VS. 康纳尔麦格雷戈 (八月. 2017, SHOWTIME PPV®).

 

BIPOLAR ROCK ‘N ROLLER is produced by Brian Dailey, the network’s Vice President, Sports Digital Content and Strategy, and MALKA MEDIA GROUP. Directed by first-time filmmaker Haris Usanovic, the film is executive produced by Stephen Espinoza and SHOWTIME Sports.

埃罗尔SPENCE JR. MAKES CHAMPIONSHIP HOMECOMING AT DALLAS COWBOYS FACILITY

Welterweight World Champion Errol Spence Jr. To Defend Title Against Mandatory Challenger Carlos Ocampo Saturday, 六月 16 Live on SHOWTIME from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, 德克萨斯州在由总理拳击冠军提出的事件

 

上周五销售门票, 五月 4 在 10 A.M. CT

 

弗里斯科, TX (四月 30, 2018) – Undefeated welterweight champion 埃罗尔 “真相” 斯彭斯JR. will defend his IBF world title in a Dallas homecoming Saturday, June 16live on SHOWTIME at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco against unbeaten mandatory challenger 卡洛斯·奥坎波 由总理拳击冠军呈现事件. 这将是福特中心内的第一场拳击比赛,也是斯彭斯作为世界冠军的第一次家乡比赛.

 

 

 

斯彭斯, who will attempt to make the second defense of the world title he won last May from Kell Brook, combines explosive power with sublime boxing skill. In his last four fights, Spence has begun to assert himself as the best boxer in the deep and talented 147-pound weight division. 今天, Spence is rated in the top-10 on boxing’s coveted pound-for-pound list. 奥坎波, who had a highly rated amateur career in Mexico, is also undefeated but will be facing his toughest challenge to date as a professional in his first world title fight.

 

 

 

门票活动, 由 TGB Promotions 与 Man Down Promotions 联合推广, 周五发售, 五月 4 在 10 A.M. CT and can be purchased at www.SeatGeek.com.

 

 

 

“埃罗尔·斯彭斯, JR. has emerged as one of the most exciting champions in the sport today with a combination of skills that he has crafted into a fan-friendly style,” 说汤姆·布朗, TGB促销总统. “This is an opportunity for Errol to defend his title before the fans in his hometown at Ford Center at The Star and to continue to demonstrate why he is the top man in the 147-pound division. 卡洛斯·奥坎波, a young hungry contender, will certainly bring his A-game and that will bring out the best in Errol. It promises to be an entertaining show for boxing fans.

 

 

 

SHOWTIME has become home to the biggest stars in boxing and Errol Spence is one of its brightest,” 斯蒂芬说埃斯皮诺萨, 总统, Sports and Event Programming for SHOWTIME. “Spence made an emphatic statement one year ago when he traveled to Sheffield, England to wrest the title from the champion on his home turf. 现在, a young and talented Carlos Ocampo has an opportunity to do the same. We are proud to team up with the Dallas Cowboys, Ford Center, TGB Promotions and Premier Boxing Champions to deliver yet another of boxing’s must-see, marquee events.

 

 

 

It’s known how energetic and exciting the sport of boxing is, but to be able to host IBF World Champion Errol Spence Jr. here at The Star to represent our city, and his home town, will be an unforgettable experience for all,” said Dallas Cowboys Chief Operating Officer Stephen Jones.

 

 

 

斯彭斯 (23-0, 20 科斯) returned home with the welterweight title last May after defeating champion Kell Brook in Brook’s hometown of Sheffield, 英国. The 28-year-old southpaw from Desoto, Texas made his first defense against former two-division champion Lamont Peterson, stopping him via seventh round technical knockout on Jan. 20 布鲁克林.

 

 

 

一 2012 中美. Olympian at the London Games, Spence has knocked out 10 straight opponents to climb the ranks of the division. In the wake of Floyd Mayweather’s retirement from boxing, four of the top-five ranked welterweights-Danny Garcia of Philadelphia, Shawn Porter of Las Vegas, Keith Thurman of Clearwater, 佛罗里达州。, and Spence-are all vying for the top spot in one of history’s most popular weight classes.

 

 

 

I’m honored to be fighting in Dallas before my hometown fans and the people who have supported me from the beginning,” 斯彭斯说:, who last fought in Dallas in 2015, a knockout victory over Alejandro Barrera. “This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. It’s going to be great to fight at The Star, and because I’m a big Dallas Cowboys fan, I’m looking forward to fighting on the campus of Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters.

 

 

 

I believe that I’m the number one fighter in the welterweight division and I’ll step into the ring on June 16 with that feeling. I’m going to draw from the energy of my fans. I’ve studied some of Ocampo and I can tell he likes to box but he’s willing to get into a fight. I know how he feels going into someone else’s hometown for his first shot at the title. This is his big opportunity and it’s going to make this a great event.

 

 

 

The 22-year-old Ocampo (22-0, 13 科斯) will be taking a major step forward in his career with this mandatory title challenge against Spence. 奥坎波, 恩塞纳达, 下加利福尼亚州, Mexico will be making his U.S. debut and fighting professionally outside of Mexico for the first time. Ocampo is a two-time silver medalist at the Mexican Olympiad, an amateur national championship tournament. His holds significant professional victories over former world title challengers Jorge Paez, JR. and Charlie Navarro while he most recently scored a seventh round stoppage of Dario Ferman in November.

 

 

 

I’m training very hard for my fight against Errol Spence Jr.,said Ocampo. “This is the opportunity that I’ve worked my whole life to get and I’m coming to take Spence’s belt on June 16. I will give the fans a very exciting fight and show once again what Mexican fighters are made of.

什么: WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Adonis Stevenson and former two-division world champion Badou Jack faced off in Toronto on Tuesday to formally announce their highly anticipated showdown Saturday, 五月 19 live on SHOWTIME from Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

 

 

 

The southpaw Stevenson (29-1, 24 科斯) is the longest reigning champion in the 175-pound division and one of the hardest hitters in boxing. 千斤顶 (22-1-3, 13 科斯) 是前 168 and 175-pound champion who relinquished his title for the chance to challenge Stevenson in the biggest light heavyweight showdown of 2018.

 

 

 

史蒂文森VS. Jack is part of a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® 电视广播开始于 10 P.M. ET/PT with featherweight champion Gary Russell, JR. defending his title against mandatory title challenger Joseph Diaz from the MGM National Harbor in Maryland.

 

 

 

Tickets for the Premier Boxing Champions event in Toronto, which is promoted by Groupe Yvon Michel, Lee Baxter促销和Mayweather促销, 上周五发售, 四月 27 and will be available at www.ticketmaster.ca.

 

 

 

Below are quotes from the fighters and event promoters.

 

阿多尼斯·史蒂文森:

 

 

I love Toronto, I spend a lot of time here. I have fought here before. I have a lot of fans in Toronto, and on May 19 I’m going to put on a show for them. 我要给他们一些值得记住的东西.

 

 

 

Badou Jack is an excellent opponent. He’s smart, he’s been a world champion, and he’s shown he’s a true competitor. But I am the best light heavyweight in the world, and Toronto and the world will see that on May 19.

 

 

 

Badou Jack is a good champion. He’s not coming to Canada to lose. I know he’s coming to win so we need to train like we’ve never trained before.

 

 

 

I know Badou is one of the best boxers in the world and I can’t take him lightly. We can’t underestimate this guyhe’s a two-time world champion.

 

 

 

“我在寻找淘汰赛. I know Badou is ready, 我准备好了, 五月 19 will be exciting.

 

BADOU JACK:

 

 

I’m glad to be fighting here in Toronto on May 19. I want to thank Adonis and his team for giving me the opportunity. I’ve been training for a while now, and feel great. 营地很棒. I think I’m getting better and better, and I’m ready to become a world champion again on May 19 and give Toronto a show.

 

 

 

“他是一个坚强的斗士, everybody knows that. He does a lot of things well, not just land the big shots. But I’m a guy who’s great at a lot of things, and who’s coming to win. 我答应你, I’ll leave Toronto a champion.

 

 

 

We have three more weeks to get ready for one of the biggest fights of my life. I asked for this fight for a long time and finally we got it. 五月 19 we’re going to have a three-time world champion.

 

伊冯·米歇尔, Groupe Yvon Michele:

 

 

We were faced with a situation in Montreal that demanded this fight be moved. I called MLSE, and Lee Baxter, and with the co-operation of everybody here, we knew almost immediately that this fight had a great new home here at the ACC in Toronto.

 

 

 

Over the duration of his time as world champion, Adonis has become not only one of the best light heavyweights in the world, but one of the best fighters in the sport. But Badou Jack is the toughest opponent that Adonis has faced since becoming champion. Adonis has always risen to the occasion, and on May 19th he’ll do it again and be successful in defending his world championship.

 

LEE BAXTER, Baxter Promotions:

 

 

Taking on a project like this with just three weeks to sell the fight is a huge task. But this is an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up. We’ve been on a mission to bring boxing to Toronto sports fans and put us back on the sport’s map. I think this is the perfect group of people to pull off this task and turn this endeavor into a huge success.

 

 

 

I want to thank Yvon Michel, MLSE, Mayweather Promotions, the champion Adonis Stevenson, 八斗杰克, and everybody else represented on the dais. This is a great fight, regardless of where it takes place, but because it’s happening here in Toronto at the ACC, with an undercard featuring some of the best local fighters fighting on the biggest stage of their careers, it’s going to be a great Toronto sports event.

 

LEONARD ELLERBE, Mayweather Promotions:

 

 

“第一, I want to extend our hearts and best wishes to everybody affected by Monday’shorrifying tragedy here in Toronto.

 

 

 

I know first-hand that Toronto is a great sports city. Floyd and I saw it with our own eyes when we were here last year promoting his fight with McGregor. The fans are passionate, and vocal, and they’re hungry for a good fight. I know they’re going to love seeing Badou Jack become a three-time world champion.

加里·拉塞尔JR. VS. 约瑟夫·迪亚兹JR. 新闻发布会行情 & 照片

Featherweight Title Showdown Headlines at MGM National Harbor in Maryland Saturday, 五月 19 住在Showtime

点击 这里 从罗茜COHE / SHOWTIME照片

国家港口 (四月 24, 2018) – WBC轻量级世界冠军 加里·拉塞尔JR. (28-1, 17 科斯) 并没有不败. 1 竞争者 约瑟夫· “乔乔” 迪亚兹JR. (26-0, 14 科斯) hosted a press conference and faced off for the first time Tuesday before their championship showdown Saturday, 五月 19 live on SHOWTIME from MGM National Harbor in Maryland.

 

 

 

门票活动, 由 TGB Promotions 与 Golden Boy Promotions 联合推广, 现已发售,可访问HTTP://mgmnationalharbor.com/.

 

The Russell vs. Diaz fight is part of a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that will feature WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion 阿多尼斯史蒂文森 与两个级别的世界冠军争夺冠军头衔 八斗杰克 in a main event from Toronto presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

拉塞尔小, 一 2008 中美. Olympian and 126-pound titleholder since 2015, will defend against his mandatory challenger in the 25-year-old Diaz, who represented the U.S. 在 2012 Olympic games and will be competing in his first title bout.

 

 

 

Here is what the fighters had to say Tuesday from TAP Sports Bar at MGM National Harbor:

 

GARY RUSSELL JR.

 

 

 

“这是惊人的主场战斗. It’s cool to know that the people I see around all the time will be able to get in the car and drive 15 minutes to come watch this massacre. 我不能等.

 

 

 

I appreciate JoJo for being honest and saying that he feels I’m the best featherweight in the world. That speaks volumes.

 

 

 

We stay focused in the gym. The inactivity doesn’t mean anything. It’s no issue. I’ve had hand issues in the past but I’m able to preserve my body and stay sharp, stay focused. I’m a fighter that’s always in shape. I never take a day off. You can ask my wife. On anniversaries, we’re in the gym. On birthdays, we’re in the gym.

 

 

Regardless of what the situation is, you want a sense of financial stability for yourself and your family. I’m at the point of my career where I have maybe six more fights in me. We want to maximize everything. We want to maximize our revenue and it’s been irritating because a lot of the champions don’t want to get in the ring with me. I appreciate JoJo for giving me the opportunity to sharpen my teeth a little bit more. At least he’ll have the opportunity to say he got in the ring with Mr. 加里·拉塞尔JR.

 

 

 

I’m one of the most dangerous fighters on the planet. 速率, 动力, 环智商, we can get ugly if we need to. I don’t plan on going 12 发. I’m not going the distance with anybody for the remainder of my career. 记住我的话.

 

 

When you have guys that fight and move around a lot, it makes it difficult to get to them the way you want to. When you have a guy that is straightforward and will be in your face, it makes it much easier for me and they’re much more susceptible to get hit.

 

 

 

A lot of fighters win with pure athleticism because they’re faster, stronger or in better shape. They’re not winning because they have the ability to make the necessary adjustments based on what goes on in the ring. I tell people all the time that boxing is intellect manifested on a physical form. In most cases, the more intelligent fighter wins.

 

 

 

My father says that whenever you see a fight that is an all-out, knockdown war, it’s just two stupid fighters that didn’t have a plan B or the ability to make the adjustments to make the fight easier. If that’s JoJo’s game plan, it’s going to make this fight a lot easier for me. It’s not going 12 发.

 

 

 

As far as a hit list of my next opponents goes, we are first going to take care of JoJo. I would love to get a unification bout with Leo Santa Cruz after that. If we don’t get that, I plan on moving up in weight and challenging whoever has the title in that division. You want to know who I really want, 虽然? I want Mikey Garcia.

 

 

 

My last fight will be against (Vasyl) Lomachenko. I want to conclude my career with breaking my foot off of him. That will be the conclusion of it. I’m willing to wait, 虽然. 现在, we’re good.

 

 

 

Of course I would entertain a fight with Gervonta Davis. We’re cool. He’s somebody that I actually watched grow up and develop as a fighter, but you have to stay in your lane. When I move up in weight, he’s got to get out of the way or he’s going to get ran over too.

 

 

 

I didn’t want to come home to fight until I had a world title. That’s the reason I didn’t fight at home for so long. Now we have the title, and I wanted to fight at least one more time here.

 

 

 

I want to maximize our revenue because I don’t plan on fighting for too much longer. I had my first fight at seven years old. 我 29 现在. That’s a long time competing and a lot of wear and tear on your body. I’m a guy that doesn’t cut corners, so it takes away from the time I could be spending with my family and friends. I’m ready to spend time with my family and children and live out the fruits of our labor. But in the meantime, everybody else is in my way. They’re trying to take food off my baby’s plate.

 

小约瑟夫·迪亚兹.

 

 

 

I don’t think the fact that I’ve been more active will give me any advantage. I’m just doing what I’m supposed to be doing and getting the experience I need inside the ring before facing an elite fighter like Gary Russell Jr. My preparation has been good. I’ve fought tremendous opponents and I have all the experience to come out victorious May 19.

 

 

 

It doesn’t affect me at all fighting in his hometown. I’m happy to fight in his backyard. He’s the champion and that’s what champions get to do. I know what he’s capable of doing. He says I don’t have the boxing IQ or the power and speed that he has, but he’s going to be in for a rude awakening come fight night. He’s going to see that I have all the tools.

 

 

 

It’s a dream come true to be fighting on this stage. Ever since I roomed with Errol Spence at the Olympics, we always promised each other that once we became pro we were going to fight all the elite athletes and the best champions. 加里·拉塞尔JR. is the best at 126 英镑. I’m not scared to fight him and that’s what Errol Spence did, 太. He beat Kell Brook in his hometown.

 

 

 

“加里·拉塞尔JR. is by far the best featherweight in the world. 狮子座圣克鲁斯, 押尼珥Mares, 李谢肃方, none of these guys want to fight Russell. They’re afraid of the speed and the counter shots. But I know what I’m capable of doing and I’ll showcase it May 19.

 

 

 

A win would mean everything for me. It would be a dream come true realizing all of the hard work I’ve put in since I was 13 岁. It would mean that I’m the champion and I’d be the shot caller.

 

 

 

I think his speed is an obstacle; he’s very fast. But that’s the thing about me, I’m good at adapting to any style that I fight. Come fight night I know that his speed is going to be fast, but it’s nothing that I won’t be able to take, or nothing that will shock me. I’m going to be able to adapt to that speed and make sure I’m able to land my shots when he’s opening up.

 

 

 

“我非常有信心; 100 percent confident I’ll beat him. I know that this is an opportunity that is presented to me and I’ll be victorious. I’ve always prayed to God that I could fight on SHOWTIME and for a WBC title. And now that I am it feels like it’s all settling in and it’s all coming true. I’m working hard every single day, and once I get my hand raised in victory I’m going to go from there.

 

 

 

If he gets a little bit over confident like he did against [奥斯卡] 埃斯坎顿, he’s going to be in for a rude awakening. He’s going to be shocked with not only my punching power, but also with my combinations and with my speed. I’m not like a Jhonny Gonzalez where I’m just throwing one shot, or slow combinations. I’m pretty fast with my punches and you won’t see my punches coming because I throw them very elusive and I punch from different angles. He’s going to be very shocked if he fights the way he fought Oscar Escandon.

 

 

 

I don’t think it’s going to go the distance. Gary Russell is going to go out there and not back down and give the fight fans a good show, but I’m going to go out there and give a good show and not back down. So I think we’re both not going to back down and we’re going to brawl it out, and let the best man win.”

MGM National Harbor in Maryland

Tickets on Sale for Toronto Event Friday, 四月 27

 

多伦多 (四月 24, 2018) – Undefeated knockout artist 阿多尼斯史蒂文森, the longest reigning light heavyweight world champion, will defend his title against two-division champion 八斗杰克 周六, 五月 19 live on SHOWTIME from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

The showdown between Stevenson and Jack is one of the most intriguing matches in the light heavyweight division as Jack, a former 168-pound and 175-pound champion, has relinquished his title for the chance to challenge one of the hardest hitters in the sport. Both men are looking to make their claim as the class of the division.

 

 

 

史蒂文森VS. Jack is part of a split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®电视广播开始于 10 P.M. ET/PT with featherweight champion Gary Russell, JR. defending his title against mandatory title challenger Joseph Diaz from the MGM National Harbor in Maryland on Saturday, 五月 19.

 

 

 

Tickets for the Toronto show, which is promoted by Groupe Yvon Michel, Lee Baxter促销和Mayweather促销, 上周五发售, 四月 27 and will be available at www.ticketmaster.ca.

 

 

 

It is the second time that we will come to Toronto to promote a WBC world championship fight with Adonis Stevenson,” said Yvon Michel, President of Groupe Yvon Michel. “If you found the first event to be spectacular, be sure not to miss the second one as it will be a real firework! Badou Jack is a two-division world champion and an Olympian. He is dangerous and by far the biggest challenge for Adonis since he won the title against Chad Dawson in 2013. We are confident that ‘Supermanhas what it takes to defend his title successfully for the ninth time.

 

 

 

I would also like to give thanks to our co-promoter Lee Baxter. This event would not have been possible without his collaboration. 此外, I am grateful for Lee and Wayne Zronik from MLSE, who are providing great support for this event and has opened the doors of the Air Canada Centre to us.

 

 

 

Mayweather Promotions is looking forward to partnering with Groupe Yvon Michel to pull off this highly anticipated matchup,” 伦纳德说Ellerbe, 梅威瑟促销的CEO. “Adonis Stevenson has been a reigning champion in this division since 2013. Badou Jack has risen to every challenge he’s faced in his career. 现在, he has an opportunity to become a three-time world champion and that raises the stakes for him. I predict two confident, hard-punching and highly skilled fighters will enter the ring at Air Canada Centre on May 19, both determined to walk away a champion.

 

 

 

We are looking forward to hosting this spectacular event at Air Canada Centre,” said Wayne Zronik, 高级副总裁, Music and Live Events at Maple Leaf Sports & 娱乐. “It is the first title fight that the venue will host. We’ve worked with this group before to bring world class boxing to the city and are excited for the return of championship boxing to Toronto, and to Air Canada Centre in particular.

 

 

 

史蒂文森 (29-1, 24 科斯) owns one of the most powerful left hands in boxing and goes by the ring moniker “超人”. The 40-year-old Stevenson has made eight successful defenses of his title since winning it with a knockout victory over Chad Dawson in 2013. The lineal 175-pound champion most recently defended his title with a second-round stoppage of Andrzej Fonfara last June and delivered a third round TKO over Tommy Karpency in his most recent defense in Toronto in 2015.

 

 

 

I’m definitely excited and hungry to get into the ring and perform,” said Stevenson. “I’ve trained very hard for this fight against Badou Jack. I’m looking forward to winning this fight by knockout. I’m from the Kronk Gym and we always look for the knockout. Jack is a good, technical boxer. He was a world champion and he has done very well. He’s tough and I won’t underestimate him. I’ll be prepared for anything he brings in the ring.

 

 

 

I’m fighting him at home in Canada, so I’m looking to give the fans a good show. I’ve got power and I’ve got the best left hook in boxing. 我有 12 rounds and I just need to touch you once to end it. It’s not complicated. I don’t need three or four shots. I just need one shot and you’re not going to recover. I’m going to finish you.

 

 

 

The 34-year-old Jack (22-1-2, 13 科斯) relinquished his 168-pound world championship following a majority draw against James DeGale in 2017 to move up to light heavyweight. He made a successful debut at 175 pounds by knocking out Nathan Cleverly for the light heavyweight championship last August. Jack then relinquished that title to seek out this challenge against the division’s heaviest hitter. 出生于斯德哥尔摩, 瑞典, 一 2008 Olympian for his father’s native Gambia and now residing in Las Vegas, Jack is looking to become a three-time world champion on his opponent’s home turf on May 19.

 

 

 

I’m excited to have the opportunity to fight for my third world title against one of the division’s best, 阿多尼斯史蒂文森,” 杰克说. “I’ve been asking for this fight for a long time and was willing to fight him anywhere, including his backyard. I know he’s good and very dangerous and that’s the reason I want to fight him. I’m all about the best fighting the best and come May 19th, I’m bringing the WBC belt back to Las Vegas. My newborn son, Malik was born just before training camp so now I have two children to fight for, which gives me all the motivation I need to get this win.

布鲁克林 (四月 22, 2018) – 四分裂世界冠军 阿德里安Broner 和二分区世界冠军 杰西·巴尔加斯 fought to a highly entertaining 12-round majority draw Saturday night on SHOWTIME in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in front of 13,964 fans at Barclays Center in Brooklyn in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

The back-and-forth battle was a tale of activity vs. 准确性. Vargas was by far the more active fighter, 投掷 839 总拳, 300 more than his opponent. Yet the flashy Broner was supremely accurate, 连接上 44 percent of his power shots and 38 他的总拳%的, 相比于刚 27 和 24, 分别, for Vargas.

 

 

 

Broner (33-3-1, 24 科斯) came on strong in the second half of the fight, picking up rounds eight through 10 on all three of the judges’ 记分卡. 该 12 round was crucial in determining the draw, 这是得分 115-113 Broner and 114-114 两次. The judges agreed on eight of the 12 rounds but couldn’t agree on the final round, which was ruled differently by the two judges who scored the fight a draw.

 

 

I want to thank Jessie Vargas. He’s a two-time world champion for a reason,” 说Broner, who was working for the first time with Kevin Cunningham as his head trainer. “He came to fight but at the end of the day, you all know I beat him. Point blank, 期.

 

 

 

I was connecting with rights. I got warmed up in the early portion of the fight. My trainer was a big help tonight. I want to thank Coach Cunningham as well as my original coach, 迈克·斯塔福德, for realizing I needed to do something different.

 

 

 

I would love to fight Vargas again, but let’s go back to my town to do it.

 

 

 

巴尔加斯 (28-2-1, 10 科斯) worked off the jab and was incredibly effective with his body shots in just his second fight with trainer and former world champion Mike “身体抢夺者” McCallum.

 

 

 

“我以为我赢得了战斗,” Vargas said. “At the end of the day I can’t argue because I was fighting on the inside of the ring so I don’t know what you saw from the outside. I was landing clean blows. It was a good fight but at the end of the day I can’t dispute the decision.

 

 

 

It must have been a close fight for the judges to have scored it the way they did. I felt that I won the fight and I was up two rounds. I’m relying on the judges to make the right decision.

Charlo is now the mandatory for Gennady “GGG” Golovkin and didn’t shy away from calling out the WBC, WBA and IBF Middleweight World Champion.

 

 

 

It’s been an amazing journey to get here,” 说夏洛茨维尔, the twin brother of WBC 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo. “I’m a two-time world champion. Bring on ‘GGG.’ 我想这场斗争. 我 27-0 同 21 击倒. Everybody sees it. What more can I say?”

 

 

 

夏洛茨维尔 (27-0, 21 科斯) proved that his power translates to middleweight as he knocked out his second opponent since relinquishing his title and moving to 160 英镑. The Houston native has now won via knockout in five of his six bouts since initially becoming champion in 2015. A series of shots opened up a huge left hook in the opening minute of the second round, flooring Centeno (26-2, 14 科斯), who failed to beat the 10-count and was counted out at :55.

 

 

 

Everybody has always avoided me and from now on, this is how it’s going to be,” 说夏洛茨维尔. “You see what you get.

 

 

 

Following the fight, Centeno was aware of the mistakes that led to the loss.

 

 

 

I thought I started off pretty well. I wanted to go out on my shield but it wasn’t my day,” Centeno said. “He caught me and got the knockout. I was trying to work my jab. I thought I got him with a couple good shots but I lingered too long in the pocket and I didn’t get out in time.

The undefeated Davis (20-0, 19 科斯), who lost the IBF 130-pound title on the scales last August, scored three knockdowns in less than three rounds to win his second title in the super featherweight division. The 23-year-old connected on 49 percent of his power shots in his first bout with new trainer Kevin Cunningham.

 

 

 

On the undercard of the Mayweather-McGregor fight, I just wasn’t focused,” 戴维斯说. “It was the second time fighting on Mayweather’s card so it got to my head and it showed. 战斗结束后, I went home and talked to my team and we decided it was time to leave Baltimore. I’m focused and it showed because I’m a champ again.

 

 

 

There’s always bumps in the road when you want to become successful. It’s all about how you bounce back and tonight I showed that I’m a true champion.

 

 

 

Davis utilized a combination of body shots, uppercuts and effective counterpunching to break down Cuellar, a former titlist at 126-pounds. Baltimore’s Davis floored Cuellar with a body blow in the second round and didn’t relent from there. The southpaw pressed forward in the third, stalking Cuellar against the ropes and sending him down for the second time with a series of combinations. 奎利亚尔 (28-3, 21 科斯) got up, but was in serious trouble and referee Benjy Esteves stepped in to halt the contest at 2:45 with the Argentine falling to the canvas for the third time.

 

 

 

The game plan was to box a little bit and open him up with some shots,” 戴维斯说. “When it was time, I went forward and caught him with enough shots to get him out.

 

 

 

I want the IBF belt back and I’m ready to unify it with whoever wins the [Tevin] Farmer vs. [比利] Dib fight.

 

 

 

On Saturday’s telecast, it was announced that Errol Spence Jr. will make the second defense of his IBF Welterweight World Championship against undefeated mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo June 16 on SHOWTIME in a homecoming fight in Dallas.

 

 

 

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader will replay on Mondayat 10 P.M. ET / PT在Showtime EXTREME.

CARL FRAMPTON WINS INTERIM WBO FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE WITH CONVINCING WIN OVER NONITO DONAIRE LIVE ON SHOWTIME SPORTS SOCIAL PLATFORMS

纽约 (四月 21, 2018) – Carl Frampton earned the interim WBO Featherweight Title with a clear unanimous decision victory over former four-division world champion Nonito Donaire from SSE Arena in Belfast in a bout that was streamed live to U.S. audiences via SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page. All three judges scored the fight 117-111 in favor of Frampton.

弗兰普顿 (25-1, 14 科斯), 贝尔法斯特, was the sharper fighter from the opening bell and imposed his will on the veteran Donaire (38-5, 24 科斯) in front of his hometown fans. Frampton controlled the distance well and was strong on the inside, landing a fierce right hand that caused swelling to Donaire’s left eye in the second round. Donaire showed glimpses of why he was named the consensus 2012 年度战斗机, landing a vicious uppercut in the seventh and a big left hand in the latter stages of round number 11 that hurt Frampton. 然而, the hometown favorite was comfortable throughout the majority of the match, using his jab efficiently and implementing the gameplan of trainer Jamie Moore to perfection. The victory puts Frampton in position to challenge WBO Featherweight Champion Oscar Valdez, who is recovering from injury following his fourth title defense, a unanimous decision win over Scott Quigg on 三月 10.

“I think Jamie deserves a lot of credit because the gameplan was perfect,“弗兰普顿说:. “As you saw in the 11th round, Nonito Donaire is a dangerous opponent. I survived the round and stuck to the gameplan. 有时, my boxing was beautiful.

“Donaire was a sharp puncher throughout. I was definitely hurt in the 11th round, people could see it. But champions survive and that’s what I did. The only thing on my mind is fighting at Windsor Park. I can’t wait to get there”

Frampton’s victory over Donaire was the first of four high-stakes featherweights’ fights on SHOWTIME® platforms featuring seven of the consensus top-10 ranked featherweights, including three world champions and four former multi-division champions. 五月 19, WBC World Champion Gary Russell Jr. will defend his belt against JoJo Diaz Jr. live on SHOWTIME and IBF World Champion Lee Selby will defend his 126-pound title against undefeated Josh Warrington live in the U.K. on SHOWTIME Sports social platforms. 最后, 上 六月 9, Leo Santa Cruz and Abner Mares will meet live on SHOWTIME in a highly anticipated rematch for the WBA Featherweight World Title.

Tickets on Sale Now for MGM National Harbor Show

国家港口 (四月 20, 2018) – Two exciting main events will be presented on the same night, 星期六, 五月 19 live on SHOWTIME as part of a split-site doubleheader telecast.

 

 

 

羽量级世界冠军 加里·拉塞尔JR. will defend his WBC title against undefeated mandatory challenger 约瑟夫· “乔乔” 迪亚兹JR. 周六, 五月 19 in a clash live on SHOWTIME from MGM National Harbor in Maryland.

 

 

 

The other half of the split-site SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will feature WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion 阿多尼斯史蒂文森 与两个级别的世界冠军争夺冠军头衔 八斗杰克 in a main event from Canada presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

米高梅国家港口表演门票, 由 TGB Promotions 与 Golden Boy Promotions 联合推广, 现已发售,可访问HTTP://mgmnationalharbor.com/.

 

 

 

拉塞尔JR. and Diaz Jr. have both had sensational professional and amateur careers, including representing the U.S. at two different Olympic GamesRussell in 2008 and Diaz in 2012. Russell is noted for having some of the fastest hands in boxing but will be tested by a young, hungry contender in his first world title fight.

 

 

 

The featherweight division is one of the most talent laden in boxing and Gary Russell, JR. is at the head of a class of terrific boxers at 126 英镑,” 说TGB促销汤姆·布朗. “约瑟夫·迪亚兹JR. is young, hungry and undefeated and he’s coming for the title and he’s going to have to beat Russell in front of his hometown crowd to take it. It has the makings of an instant classic. Boxing fans will be the real winners on May 19.

 

 

SHOWTIME continues to deliver the most meaningful and action-packed fights in boxing, week after week,” 斯蒂芬说埃斯皮诺萨, 总统, Sports and Event Programming for SHOWTIME. “五月 19, we have two events that demand top-billing, with world champions facing their toughest challengers in an international split-site doubleheader. Gary Russell and JoJo Diaz will meet in the latest of what has become a de facto featherweight tournament this spring on SHOWTIME. Over the next two months, SHOWTIME will deliver four pivotal matchups featuring three world champions and seven of the consensus top-10 featherweights in the world. Adonis Stevenson vs. Badou Jack is by far the biggest fight at light heavyweight in 2018, fellow 175-pound champs facing off in what has the makings of a lasting rivalry.

 

 

 

The 29-year-old Russell (28-1, 17 科斯), 谁出生在华盛顿, D.C. 现在住在国会山高地, 马里兰, will be defending his title before a hometown crowd. This will be Russell’s second straight fight at MGM National Harbor following his knock-out win over Oscar Escondon in his first title defense there on May 20, and second defense overall. It was his third straight knockout victory in a world title fight since dropping a majority decision to Vasyl Lomachenko in his first world title shot in 2014.

 

 

 

罗素, 谁是受他父亲训练的, 加里, 老, 是拳击家族的一员. 他的两个弟弟, 加里·安东尼奥和加里·安图安, 目前是不败的专业人士, are also trained by their father and will be fighting on their older brother’s undercard on May 19.

 

 

 

I don’t see this being a long night,” 罗素说JR. “If he gets reckless, it might end early. I don’t plan on going the distance with anyone I step in the ring with. I know he’s in for a rude awakening. I don’t feel as though he has the punching power, the hand speed or the ring IQ to do anything to me. At the end of the day he’ll have the opportunity to say he got in the ring with Mr. 加里·拉塞尔, JR.

 

 

 

It will be an early birthday gift for my Dad. Last year I fought on his birthday, 五月 20. That’s pretty cool. I love fighting at the MGM. I love the convenience. I love that all my friends and fans, and the people who honk at me from their cars when I’m running can hop in their cars rather get on a plane to come and see me fight.

 

 

 

Diaz Jr., who is also trained by his father, 约瑟夫·, 老, was a two-time amateur national champion in the bantamweight division. He represented the U.S. 在 2012 Olympic games in London. Immediately after, 迪亚兹JR. signed with Golden Boy Promotions and began a stellar career that has earned him a spot at the pinnacle of the featherweight division.

 

 

 

I’m happy to be fighting for my first world title against the best 126-pound world champion,” said Diaz Jr. “I’ll prove to everyone that I belong on that featherweight throne come May 19.

 

 

 

I will be the bigger man come fight night, and I will break him down physically and mentally. He just better give me the credit I deserve once I beat him, and not blame his inactivity for being a factor in his loss.
