LAS VEGAS (Chwefror. 17, 2018) – Former two-division world champion Danny Garcia returned with a vengeance, knocking out Brandon Rios in a WBC Welterweight Title Eliminator in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Dydd Sadwrn on SHOWTIME from Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
Returning for the first time since dropping a close split-decision to Keith Thurman in a welterweight world championship unification fight in March of 2017, Garcia reminded fans of his position amongst boxing’s elite at 147 pounds with an early candidate for 2018 Knockout y Flwyddyn.
Garcia (34-1, 20 Kos) did his best work in the center of the ring, where he was able to box at a distance and fend off Riosfurious pace. Rios, who returned in 2017 from a brief retirement, was most effective against the ropes where he gave Garcia trouble with his constant pressure and his favorite weapona wide overhand right.
In the ninth round with the fight where Garcia wanted itin the center of the ringthe Philadelphia native landed a huge counter right to the chin that sent Rios flat on his back. Rios beat the count, but was clearly wobbly on his feet, forcing referee Kenny Bayless to halt the contest at 2:25 of the ninth.
I felt the ring rust a little bit in the beginning,” Said Garcia, who recorded the 20th knockout of his career. “He’s a good inside fighter and he was giving me some good uppercuts. Roeddwn i'n teimlo'n dda, it was a good nine rounds. Daeth i ymladd. I came to box, I did that. I came to bang, and I gave the fans what they wanteda knockout.
I just noticed when I was getting my punches off he was standing right in front of me and I just let it go. As soon as I got the fight in the middle of the ring where I wanted I landed good shots. I was just letting my hands go and the punch landed.
Ar ôl y frwydr, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray asked Garcia how the loss to Thurman affected him.
The loss was tough. I have the mindset of a winner,” Garcia said. “I hate losing. I took it like a true champion and I bounced back like a true champion.
I would love the rematch with Keith Thurman. It’s on him. Whenever he’s ready we’ll fight.
WBA and WBC Champion Thurman isn’t the only potential blockbuster on the horizon for Garcia. Former welterweight champion and the WBC’s No. 1 ranked contender Shawn Porter looms for what would be a massive showdown between the former champions.
Ar ôl y frwydr, Rios (34-4-1, 24 Kos) was frustrated with the stoppage and promised to return.
I’m mad. I don’t like going out like that,” Rios said. “I’m a warrior, I got back up and I wanted to continue. I guess they stopped it but I’m mad. I’m mad because I got up.
I was doing good. I got lazy with the jab and he came over with the right hand and he caught me. I’m a warrior. I’m still in the game. I didn’t think he did much to hurt me. I think it was closer than what he thought it was. He just caught me with a lucky punch. I was ready to continue.
Boxing’s youngest world champion, David BENAVIDEZ, left no questions in a rematch with Ronald Gavril, defending his WBC Super Middleweight World Championship with a dominating 12-round unanimous decision in Dydd Sadwrn co-feature on SHOWTIME.
The 21-year-old Benavidez and Gavril had fought to a close split-decision in one of 2017’s best fights that saw Benavidez drop to the canvas in the final minute of the 12fed a rownd derfynol. The Phoenix native had no trouble in the immediate rematch, utilizing a stiff jab and a steady diet of combo shots to win a near-shutout over the game Gavril.
BENAVIDEZ (20-0, 17 Kos) wore down Gavril with an intelligent body attack, pounding the midsection to open up power shots and jabs to the head. Benavidez had his best round in the fourth, connecting on a huge right uppercut that nearly floored Gavrilwho appeared to be saved by the ropesand then pounced with a series of damaging combo shots.
Benavidez appeared to hurt his right hand in the second half of the fight and stepped off the gas in the 10th, 11th and 12th. But Benavidez, who connected on 41 y cant o'i ergydion pŵer, still landed the harder shots and utilized a stiff left jab to keep Gavril largely at bay.
I knew he was going to come aggressive. He’s a one-trick opponent,” Benavidez said. “I knew I could jab and box him all day. When I saw the opening I took it. I didn’t knock him out thoughhe’s a tough son of a gun.
Both my hands hurt but I have that warrior’s mentality so I kept pushing.
I want to be the best in division. So whoever they put in front of me that’s what I want to do.
Gavril (18-3, 14 Kos) didn’t make any excuses for dropping what was an action-packed affair that was scored 119-109 ac 120-108 ddwywaith.
He tried to box me on the outside,” Gavril said. “It was good fight. He was the better man tonight. Beth y gallaf ei ddweud? I want to go back in the gym and come back stronger.
In the opening bout of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, Yordenis Ugas scored the biggest win of his career, knocking out Ray Robinson in the seventh round of an IBF Welterweight Eliminator.
Ugas (21-3, 10 Kos) now holds the IBF’s No. 2 position to undefeated champion Errol Spence Jr.
Ugas, a former amateur standout who is now 6-0 since moving up to the 147-pound class, set the tone with a knockdown in the closing minute of the opening round. Robinson (24-3, 12 Kos) survived and was later deducted a point for hitting after the bell as the fourth round came to a close. The illegal punch floored an unexpected Ugas, who rebounded and continued to dominate the subsequent rounds.
In the opening minute of the seventh, the 31-year-old Ugas landed a massive right that floored Robinson, who beat the count but was clearly hurt. Ugas unleashed an onslaught with a series of combos, forcing referee Robert Byrd to step in to halt the contest at 1:05 with Robinson defenseless against the ropes.
Ugas landed 51 percent of his power shots and was comfortably ahead on all three judges at the time of the stoppage.
I felt like I was the stronger fighter by far and he didn’t hurt me,” said Ugas. “He lost a point for hitting me after the bell sounded, and knocked me down, but even that didn’t hurt me. He was very awkward and his style threw off my timing.
Luckily I was able to land body shots that I knew were hurting him. I was able to dictate the pace and we never in trouble.
I want Errol Spence next. Everyone wants Errol.

Siaradodd Ortiz ar amrywiaeth o bynciau wrth iddo fynd i'r ornest ddisgwyliedig iawn gyda Wilder. Dyma beth oedd gan Ortiz i'w ddweud o wersyll hyfforddi yn Miami:
Ar Deontay Wilder…
“Mae'n siarad gormod. Bydd yn rhaid iddo gefnogi hynny yn y cylch. Mae’n dweud ei fod yn mynd i ladd ‘King Kong.’ Mae'n mynd i fy nharo i allan. Rwyf am ei wylio yn ceisio. Dydw i ddim yn debyg i'r dynion eraill yr ymladdodd. Rwy'n ymladdwr go iawn. Anodd a gyda llawer o brofiad. Rydw i wedi bod yn ymladd ers oeddwn i 10 mlwydd oed.
“Nid yw'n fy nychryn. Mae ei sgwrs sbwriel yn gwneud i mi chwerthin. Dim ond llawer o sŵn ydyw. Rwy'n llwglyd. Rwy'n gwneud hyn ar gyfer fy nheulu. Mae'n well iddo fy nghymryd o ddifrif oherwydd mae'n mynd i gael ei hun ar y cynfas cyn iddo wybod. Dw i’n mynd i ddangos i’r byd pwy ‘King Kong’ yn.”
Ar ei wrthdaro â Wilder ar ôl ymladd olaf Ortiz…
“Dywedodd rhywun wrthyf fod Wilder yn y dorf, Gwenais. Roeddwn yn falch o'i weld. Roeddwn i'n gwybod beth oedd ei eisiau.
“Dydw i ddim y math sy'n hoffi siarad yn y sbwriel, ond rydw i wedi ei gael gyda'r dyn hwn. Mae'n siarad gormod. Mae ganddo geg fawr. Mae wedi fy sarhau ac wedi dweud gormod o bethau mud. Felly pan welais ef wrth ymyl y cylch dywedais wrtho am fynd i mewn i'r fodrwy a dweud wrth y byd unwaith ac am byth ei fod yn mynd i ymladd â mi. Dywed ei fod am frwydro yn erbyn y prif ymladdwyr. Rwy'n ymladdwr gorau. Gadewch i ni ei wneud.”
Ar brofi'n bositif am sylwedd gwaharddedig yn ystod hyfforddiant ar gyfer y frwydr gyntaf yn erbyn Wilder…
“Mae llawer o bobl yn credu ynof i ac yn fy adnabod yn dda, gwybod na fyddwn yn gwneud unrhyw beth a all beryglu fy nyfodol fel paffiwr. Mae gen i ormod yn y fantol: fy nheulu, fy mhlant a'r posibilrwydd i ddarparu ar eu cyfer.
“Roeddwn i wedi bod yn cymryd y feddyginiaeth honno ers dwy flynedd. Fy nghamgymeriad oedd peidio â datgelu’r cyffur presgripsiwn hwnnw yn y gwaith papur. Wnes i erioed feddwl bod presgripsiwn yn mynd i ddod â chymaint o drafferth i mi. Roeddwn i'n cymryd y feddyginiaeth hon i drin pwysedd gwaed uchel, ond mae'n debyg ei fod hefyd yn cael ei ddefnyddio i fynd i'r ystafell ymolchi llawer a chuddio pethau eraill. Rwy'n yfed dau galwyn o ddŵr y dydd. Rwy'n mynd i'r ystafell ymolchi llawer yn barod. Dwi byth yn rhoi dau a dau gyda'i gilydd. Rwy'n lân. Roedd y dos y daethon nhw o hyd iddo yn fy system yn rhy isel i guddio unrhyw beth o gwbl. Pe bawn i wedi gwybod, ni chaniatawyd y cyffur presgripsiwn hwn, Byddwn wedi dweud wrth fy hyfforddwr a fy meddyg.
“Rwy'n bwysau trwm nid oes angen i mi wneud pwysau. Pam ydw i'n mynd i fynd i'r drafferth o gymryd sylwedd anghyfreithlon sy'n gwneud ichi fynd i'r ystafell ymolchi yn fawr? Does gen i ddim angen. Yn syml, doeddwn i ddim yn gwybod ei fod wedi'i wahardd. Pe bawn i wedi gwybod, Byddwn wedi dweud rhywbeth wrth fy hyfforddwr neu wrth y meddygon.
“Rwy'n meddwl nad oedd y frwydr i fod ar yr adeg honno y llynedd. Chwaraeodd tynged ran. Roedd i fod i gael ei ohirio. Nawr nid oes unrhyw esgusodion.”
Ar ba mor bwysig yw'r frwydr hon iddo…
“Mae pob ymladd dwi wedi ei gael yn fy ngyrfa wedi bod yn bwysig. Yr allwedd bob amser yw osgoi meddwl ei fod yn ennill neu'n marw oherwydd gall hynny eich rhoi oddi ar y canol. Felly'r ffordd dwi'n ei weld yw bod y frwydr hon yn bwysig i mi oherwydd mae'n rhaid i mi ei hennill. Ac rydw i'n mynd i. Mae'n bencampwriaeth byd, ond i mi, dim ond diwrnod arall yn y gwaith ydyw. Fy unig nod yw ennill y frwydr hon. Win. Win. Win. Trwy ennill y frwydr hon, popeth arall yn datblygu. Rwy'n cael teitl ac rwy'n helpu fy nheulu.”
Ar yr hyn sy'n mynd i ddigwydd ar noson ymladd…
“Pan gaf yn y cylch, y cyfan y byddaf yn meddwl amdano yw'r strategaeth a luniwyd gennym yn y gampfa. Mae fy nheulu yno bob amser. Maen nhw'n mynd i bob ymladd. Dyna oedd fy addewid iddyn nhw pan fu’n rhaid i mi eu gadael ar ôl yng Nghiwba i ddod i’r Unol Daleithiau. Byddan nhw'n dod gyda mi ble bynnag yr af. Os byddaf yn nwy allan, Rwy'n edrych arnyn nhw ac maen nhw'n fy nghadw i fynd. Nhw yw fy nghymhelliant a byddant yn fy helpu i gyflawni'r fuddugoliaeth hon.”

Here is what the fighters had to say from Rhythm & Riffs Lounge in Las Vegas:
DANNY GARCIA
I took a little under a year off just to enjoy my life. I’ve worked hard my whole life; I’ve been boxing for 20 flynyddoedd. I just wanted to be a regular person and let my mind rest, spend time with my daughter and enjoy some of my money.
“Yn fwy na dim, I just felt like I needed the rest. It wasn’t about the hunger because I’ve always had passion for the sport. Rwyf wrth fy modd bocsio. I love the competition.
I’m back now and I’ve been in camp for three months. Im 'yn ymarfer yn galed. I feel great and I feel confident.
It was a close fight against Thurman. I walked out of there with no injuries. Thurman was the one with the elbow injury, so he took more punishment than me. I could easily be unified champion of the world right now. Ar ddiwedd y dydd, I’m a champion. That’s my mindset. What doesn’t break me, makes me stronger.
It feels great to be from Philly right now. The atmosphere is crazy. When the Eagles won the Super Bowl, it felt like I won. They motivated me to go out there and do what I have to do.
It’s the Danny Garcia show so I’m going to go in there and do what I want to do. I’m going to dictate the pace. If we want to bang, we can bang. If we want to box, we can box.
I’ve faced fighters that came straight at me before. I’ve faced fighters that moved. I’m prepared for whatever. I’m a young veteran in the sport and what made me a true champion is adapting to anything and overcoming adversity. If I have to overcome adversity ar ddydd Sadwrn nos, then I’m going to do that because that’s what I was built for.
I need to get a victory ar ddydd Sadwrn nos. I can’t overlook anybody. I’ve seen some crazy things happen in boxing. One punch can change everything, so I’m just focused ar ddydd Sadwrn nos.”
BRANDON RIOS
“Rwy'n barod 100 y cant. I’m ready to give the fans an exciting show and that’s what I’ve prepared for. That’s my style. I always come forward and I come to fight. We ain’t dancing, we’re going to be fighting.
Robert Garcia has always been my brother. He’s a brother from another mother. It felt great to be back with Robert Garcia and I’m just ready for the fight now. Him and Donald Leary have me confident in myself, and that’s the most important thing.
I’m going to take advantage of every opportunity. This can make or break me. I’m doing everything right in training and dieting. I usually say I can’t wait until weigh-ins but this time I can’t wait until Dydd Sadwrn.
There’s no weight issue at all. I’m perfectly on-weight right now. I’m perfectly fine health-wise, there’s no injuries. Rwy'n 100 percent ready.
DAVID BENAVIDEZ
I’m going to put Gavril into retirement after this fight. Rydw i'n mynd i guro ef allan. This is going to be the fight of the night so you guys don’t want to miss it. He’s not going to want to box again after I get done with him.
He dropped me but I wasn’t hurt at any point of that fight. I got back up and smiled. I did not feel his power at all.
It wasn’t a tough decision to give him a rematch because it was a great fight. I just want to give the fans the fights they want to see. They said the first one was a war, let’s make this one a war too.
I’m not offended by Gavril’s talk because he’s a good fighter. This is just more hype for the fight and more motivation for me to go in there and make it a war.
“Y tro hwn, there’s going to be a little bit more boxing. I really want to put this guy away so in order to do that, I need to step up every part of my game.
Ronald Gavril
In the first fight, I proved to everybody that I have the skill and the power to be the best in this division. I thought that I won the fight, especially with the knockdown. So now, I had more than eight weeks to prepare for this fight when I only had four weeks for the first fight. I’m better now.
I was not surprised Benavidez gave me the rematch because it was such a good fight. I think Benavidez talks to much. He said before the first fight that he was coming to stop me in four rounds or five rounds. He cannot stop me. Ac yn awr, he said the same thing before this fight. He can’t do that. Why do you think he got a new fitness coach?”
YORDENIS UGAS
Moving up from 140 i 147 mewn 2016 has been great for me. Putting on the extra weight only makes me stronger.
I’m ready to fight Robinson. Rwy'n teimlo 100 percent and after I fight him ar ddydd Sadwrn, I’m looking forward to fighting (Errol) Spence if I’m successful.
I’m going to jump on the fact that I have length and reach on him. I have the height advantage. I can find a way to come in and attack the body first.
“Mae hyn yn bendant yn y frwydr fwyaf o fy ngyrfa. It’s an eliminator so I’m going for the win ar ddydd Sadwrn nos.”
RAY ROBINSON
At one point, I used to put a lot of pressure on myself because of my name. I put so much pressure on myself that I even think I lost a couple fights. I look up to Sugar Ray Robinson, but I’m here to put my own footprints in the sand.
I have learned from every fight and gotten better every fight as a pro and as a person. I have a great team now and they have only added to my craft.
I feel confident. I did all of the hard work in the gym with my team. This is the easy part. I can box with a blindfold on. That’s the one thing I know how to do – frwydr. Ar ddydd Sadwrn, all of my hard work is going to pay off.

FOCUSED REGIS PROGRAIS UNDAUNTED BY CHANGE IN OPPONENT TO JULIUS INDONGO FOR INTERIM WBC SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FRIDAY, MAWRTH 9 BYW YN SHOWTIME®

 

SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION Live At 10 p.m. A/PT From Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, South Dakota

 

 

 

 

HOUSTON (Chwefror. 15, 2018) – Undefeated 140-pound contender Regis “Rougarou” Prograis remains focused on the prize despite the recent change in opponent for his Mawrth 9 showdown for the Interim WBC Super Lightweight World Championship. Prograis will now face former unified world champion Julius Indongo in the 12-round main event of a SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION live on SHOWTIME at 10 p.m. A/PT from Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, South Dakota.

 

 

 

 

The southpaw Indongo replaced Viktor Postol, who was forced to withdraw from the bout ar ddydd Llun with a hand injury.

 

 

 

 

“Lou called and told me about what happened to Viktor Postol and that Indongo could be the new opponent and I said yes immediately,"Meddai Prograis. “I always want to fight the best and with Indongo being a former unified champion, he brings a great deal of credibility to the fight. Both of his titles were won on the road in Russia and Scotland, so I know how fearless and determined he will be.

 

 

“I had to switch up my training a little for sparring with Indongo being a lefty and a little taller, but I’m sparring with middleweights. I’ve heard how hard he hits and I want to be fully prepared. Maybe down the line Postol and I could still fight, but I’m only focused on Indongo now. This is my time and my year to shine. I’m ready to put on a spectacular performance on Mawrth 9."

 

 

 

 

“This fight came together in a matter of two phone calls – one to Prograis and one to Indongo – and that speaks volumes about the championship mentality of both fighters,” said Lou DiBella, Llywydd DiBella Adloniant. “Prograis wanted to fight the best fighter available, even if that fighter presented a different style and was recently a unified champion. Indongo immediately jumped at the opportunity to again be a champion. They are true professionals and their desire to fight will be evident in the ring.

 

 

 

The event is presented by DiBella Entertainment, in association with Fight Promotions Inc., Holden Productions and Sauerland Promotions. Tocynnau, Pris $200, $80 ac $60, are on sale now and can be purchased on Ticketmaster.com or by calling (877) 907-4726. The doors open and first bout begins at 5:30 p.m. More information on Deadwood Mountain Grand can be found on their website at www.DeadwoodMountainGrand.com.

 

 

 

 

Fighting out of Namibia and now training in Omaha, NE, Indongo (22-1, 11 Kos) is a former unified champion who held the IBF and WBA 140-pound titles.

 

 

 

 

Yn 2016, Indongo traveled to Moscow, Rwsia, to dethrone IBF Junior Welterweight Champion Eduard Troyanovsky with a stunning first-round knockout. In his first defense, Indongo traveled to Glasgow, Yr Alban, for a unification bout with WBA Champion Ricky Burns. The 35-year-old won a 12-round unanimous decision to become unified champion.

 

 

 

 

In his first bout as a unified titleholder, Indongo made his U.S. debut against fellow undefeated and unified champion Terence Crawford in a showdown to determine the undisputed champion of the 140-pound division. It was the first championship bout with all four major world titles at stake since Jermain Taylor dethroned Bernard Hopkins in 2005. Indongo lost to Crawford to suffer the only defeat of his professional career.

 

 

 

 

PROGRAMS (20-0, 17 Kos), Houston trwy gyfrwng New Orleans, has scored knockouts in 13 o'i olaf 14 fights and is a rising star in the wide-open 140-pound division. Indongo represents the toughest challenge of his career.

 

 

 

 

In the 12-round co-feature, undefeated 140-pound contenders Ivan Baranchyk (17-0, 10 Kos) and Anthony Yigit (21-0-1, 7 Kos) will square off in a Junior Welterweight World Title Eliminator to become the mandatory challenger for IBF champion Sergey Lipinets. Lipinets will defend his belt the following day, Mawrth 10, on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® against undefeated three-division champion Mikey Garcia.

I have to go in there and show that I’m one of the best fighters in the world. I just have to go in there and be Danny Garcia.
It’s great to be back here in Vegas. This is a big-fight atmosphere and it just motivates me. I feel good and I can’t wait to go in there and fight.
I’m going to do a little bit of everything, it just depends how I feel. I’m gonna bang, I’m gonna box. Rydw i'n mynd i gefnogi ef i fyny. I’m going to do everything.
I try to knock everyone out in the first round. I’ll go and get that check. Twelve rounds or less. I’d like to get it done in under eight or six. But if not I’ll go 12 rowndiau. I have a great team and I’ve been training hard.
I don’t blame Keith Thurman for not wanting to fight me again. I wouldn’t want to fight me two times in row. My journey and my superstardom start again ar ddydd Sadwrn nos. My job then is to show the work and that I’m still one of the superstars of this sport.
“Rwy'n 29 years old and in the prime of my career. It starts now. I’m ready to get back on track.
I represent Philly wherever I go. I represent all Latinos all around the world. When you’re a world champion boxer you represent everyone around the world.
He likes to bang…gadewch i ni wneud hynny. I feel like I’m the stronger man and there’s no need to back up. If that’s what it takes to get the job done.
BRANDON RIOS
“Rwy'n barod. I’ve been training really hard and I’m focused and dedicated to the boxing game. In the past I was immature and just being a kid and being a dork and just going with heart and ballsthat’s what I was doing it with. But now I want to get back to the top and I know what it takes to get there.
I don’t care what the critics say because at the end of the day that’s what they are, just critics. It’s all good. I can tell you right now I’m in shape. Rydw i ar bwysau yn barod.
Everyone knows the way I fight. Going all out is my style. I’ll walk through brick walls to get the victory. Everyone will see ar ddydd Sadwrn night the new and improved Bam Bam.
Think about why I looked like [crap] ar ôl fy frwydr olaf. I’ve been through wars after wars and wars in my previous fights, and that takes a toll on your body. It happens. And I realized it and I took a step back and I wasn’t doing it right with dieting and training. I was doing it with heart and balls.
Now I feel rejuvenated and fresh. So you will see the new and improved Brandon. I feel young and not war-shot, or whatever you guys want to call it. I want to go out there and prove everyone wrong. I’m going to prove every one of you wrong. There’s going to be a smile on my face when I win this fight and I will put up my middle finger to all of you.
Danny’s a strong fighter and he has power in both hands. He’s a great counter-puncher. One thing I like is he doesn’t move or run, he likes to bang it out, and that suits my style better. But if he does run, we’ll be ready for that too. I sparred with young guys, felly rwy'n barod.
Thanks to all of you guys for calling me out, and calling me a cherry, or whatever. Dwi wrth fy modd. It’s all good. That’s the chip on my shoulder I got. I’m not a cherry, I might be a wild berry, but I’m not a cherry.
DAVID BENAVIDEZ
The preparation we had for this camp was amazing. Three months in training camp, we made a lot of changes for this fight and we’re ready to go in there and take care of business.
Winning the title changed my confidence but it changed my work too. Now I know everybody is gunning for my title and I don’t want to let it go. All the work and sacrifice it took for me to get thisI’m not going to let it go.
“Rwy'n teimlo'n gryf iawn. The weight is good. I feel amazing and you guys are going to see it comeDydd Sadwrn.
I don’t think Gavril can do any better than he did in the last fight. He’s a one trick pony and he doesn’t have many tricks left, he’s getting old. We’ve been working on a lot of different styles for this fight and I feel more than ready.
I’m very motivated. I stayed very dedicated to this training camp. I’m ready to go in there and play no games. I’m going to do what I say and I’m going to knock Gavril out.
I feel I could have done better in the first fight. Having everybody tell me Gavril should have won and him talking a lot of smack, it’s the motivation and drive that I needed to train the way I did in this camp.
The sickness during the first fight took a lot out of me but my mentality is that I’m a warrior and I’m always going to push through it no matter what. Y tro hwn, we didn’t have any injuries or sickness so I can’t wait to put on a show ar ddydd Sadwrn.
This is the first time I’ve really had a chip on my shoulder. All the hard work it took for me to get this belt, and people say it was just given to me? No way, I’m going to go in there and show why I’m the youngest champion in the super middleweight division.
I want to become the best in the division. I want to earn every victory and fight the best. I would love to fight the World Boxing Super Series winner. I’ll be ready for anybody. I worked so hard to get this, nobody can take it from me.
I’m thinking it will be a knockout around Round 5. It’s going to be a combination of the body and chin. It’s not really looking for the knockout, it’s just setting it up. I’m not going in just throwing haymakers, but I’ll set it up and if it comes, it will come in spectacular fashion.
Ronald Gavril
I trained a little bit different this time. I had way more time than the first fight to prepare. Last time was four weeks, this time I had a full 10 wythnosau. I have done a lot of rounds of sparring and a lot of work related to this fight.
I learn after every fight. From the first fight against Benavidez, I learned even more because it was a tough, tight fight.
His people tried to make him a superstar before he fought me. I don’t know what people said after the first fight, but they should wait until after the rematch. I’m the stronger fighter.
The difference in this fight is going to be who boxes smarter. I feel I’m the smarter fighter because if I need to box, I box; if I need to put pressure, I put pressure. I can adapt.
I think this is going to be the fight of the year. It’s going to be special. The fans should all come see this fight because it’s going to be amazing with two warriors.
I’m not looking for a knockout. I’m looking to win every round. But I also don’t want to leave it in the judgeshands like last time, felly byddwn yn gweld beth sy'n digwydd Dydd Sadwrn.
I’m ready to win. It would be a dream come true. This is why I came here to America from Romania.
YORDENIS UGAS
We are both good fighters. But I am ready to put on the fight of the night for the fans and I will be victorious.
I’m more than ready to get back in the ring. I know what’s at stake. This is a title eliminator and it is the biggest fight of my career. I’m ready to get even better and show the world that I’m ready to be at that top tier of boxing.
Because of the intensity of this fight, I think it has the potential to be the fight of the night. This is going to shine over all the other fights.
RAY ROBINSON
Training camp was perfect. My team did everything to prepare me for this fight. I dotted every ‘Iand crossed every ‘Tfor this fight. This was one of the best camps I’ve had and I’m excited to get in the ring ar ddydd Sadwrn.
Carrying Sugar Ray’s name is obviously a pleasure. Growing up, I had a lot of pressure on myself with my name being Ray Robinson. Sometimes I think I even lost fights because I put too much pressure on myself having that name. So now, I make sure I don’t put too much pressure on myself.
This is the type of fight that I roll out of bed for. You get tired of fighting regular guys. I’m an old school fighterI love fighting guys that look good on paper and nobody knows who’s going to win and it’s up to his camp and my camp. I haven’t been this excited for a fight in a long time.
I expect hell. That’s how I’ve been preparing. If it’s anything less than that, he’ll be sorry. That’s how I’ve been traininglike we’re fighting for a world title. I’m going to bring all the hardship I’ve had in my life into this fight ar ddydd Sadwrn nos.
I’m an old school fighter. I’ll fight people in their grandma’s back yard if I have to. Nid oes ots pwy dw i'n ymladd. I’ll just do it Kimbo Slice-style. Once we conquer Dydd Sadwrn, we are supposed to fight Errol Spence and even if that doesn’t happen, we’re looking for a world title. Errol Spence, (Keith) Thurman, Rwy'n barod i graig.
Every time we put the gloves on, we want to do something special. Especially with this fight being on SHOWTIME, we just made sure we prepared the right way. But it doesn’t matter if it’s on TV or not, we still have to put on a good fight.
Each fight that I have is a stepping stone in my career. This is no different just because it’s in Vegas. I’m not going to put too much pressure on myself and blow this up and make it bigger than what it needs to me. Vegas, the crowds, y goleuadau – that’s all cool and dandy but at the end of the day I still have to do my job.

Cymdogaethau (20-0 12 Kos), who is trained by Virgil Hunter, returns for his first professional bout in San Antonio since he scored a 2015 knockout over Manuel Vides at AT&T Center in 2015. The 22-year-old has won three straight fights by stoppage since moving up to the 140-pound division last year.
I haven’t been back home in a while, and I’m looking forward to putting on a tremendous performance in front of my family and hometown fans,” Dywedodd Barrios. “Os daw'r knockout, early or late, 'N annhymerus' mynd ag ef. Os nad yw, we’re going in there to do what we do best, and that’s win. I’m trying to show that I’m on the level where I can get one of those titles either later this year or early next year.
Fighting out of Santo Domingo, Gweriniaeth Dominica, Bernardo (23-2, 17 Kos) enters this fight having scored knockout victories in his last two contests. The 31-year-old, who appeared onShoBox: Y Genhedlaeth Newydd ym mis Ebrill 2016, has fought professionally since 2009 ac yn ddiguro yn ei gyntaf 21 ymladd pro.

The 26-year-old Luna, fighting out of Bellflower, Ca., most recently dominated Andrey Klimov on his way to a unanimous decision last April and faces his toughest competition to date on March 10. Commey rebounded from the narrow defeat to Easter and a subsequent close loss to Denis Shafikov with a unanimous decision victory last March in his native Ghana.
Commey’s a tough competitor whose losses were very close, disputable fights that could have gone either way, so I’ll go in being smart, using my jab and sticking to our game plan,” said Luna. “We’re both boxer-punchers who like to mix it up, throw bombs and brawl if we have to. There’s going to be a lot of action and we might steal the show. We’ll give the fans their money’s worth, either way.
I think this is a good fight where neither of us are the favorite,” said Commey. “After losing two close decisions there is natural pressure to go for the knockout. But I believe that the judges will be fair and reward me if it goes the distance so I can earn another shot at the title. This is my first fight with Andre Rozier and I’m inspired working in his gym with guys like Daniel Jacobs and Sadam Ali. Rwy'n 100 percent focused on clearly beating Luna and earning my rematch with Robert Easter Jr.
Figueroa (14-0, 9 Kos), the younger brother of former lightweight champion Omar Figueroa, bydd yn gwneud ei 2018 debut against the 24-year-old Aguilar (20-7, 17 Kos), after picking up four wins in 2017.
I’m happy to be on such a big card. San Antonio is like my second home,” meddai'r Figueroa, pwy sy'n 5-0 with four knockouts in San Antonio. “I’m getting a lot of exposure fighting on this world class event that is headlined by Mikey Garcia. It’s the kind of step-up I need. Little by little I’m becoming well-known, not only in the United States, but by people from around the world.

UNDEFEATED REGIS PROGRAIS TO FACE FORMER UNIFIED WORLD CHAMPION JULIUS INDONGO FOR INTERIM WBC SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FRIDAY, MAWRTH 9 BYW YN SHOWTIME®

Indongo Replaces Viktor Postol, Who Withdrew With A Hand Injury

 

SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION Live At 10 p.m. A/PT

From Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, South Dakota

 

 

 

NEW YORK (Chwefror. 12, 2018) – Undefeated 140-pound contender Regis Prograis will now face former unified world champion Julius Indongo for the vacant Interim WBC Super Lightweight World Championship on Dydd Gwener, Mawrth 9, in the 12-round main event of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION live on SHOWTIME at 10 p.m. A/PT from Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, South Dakota.

Indongo replaces the previously announced Viktor Postol, who was forced to withdraw from the bout with a hand injury.

Born in Namibia and now fighting out of Omaha, NE, Indongo (22-1, 11 Kos) is a former unified champion who held the IBF and WBA 140-pound titles.

Yn 2016, Indongo traveled to Moscow, Rwsia, to dethrone IBF Junior Welterweight Champion Eduard Troyanovsky with a stunning first-round knockout. In his first defense as champion, Indongo traveled to Glasgow, Yr Alban, for a unification bout with WBA Champion Ricky Burns. The 35-year-old won a 12-round unanimous decision to become unified champion.

In his first bout as a unified titleholder, Indongo made his U.S. debut against fellow undefeated and unified champion Terence Crawford in a showdown to determine the undisputed champion of the 140-pound division. It was the first championship bout with all four major world titles at stake since Jermain Taylor dethroned Bernard Hopkins in 2005. Indongo lost to Crawford, suffering the only defeat of his professional career.

“I’m very excited to fight Regis Prograis on Mawrth 9,” said Indongo. “This is a great opportunity for me toward becoming a world champion again. I know how good Prograis is, but come March 9, I’ll be victorious.”

“While it’s unfortunate that Viktor Postol suffered this training injury, we’re thrilled that Julius Indongo jumped right at the opportunity to face Regis Prograis for the interim WBC title,” said Lou DiBella, Llywydd DiBella Adloniant. “Regis wanted to prove himself against the best, and he will still be afforded that opportunity when he meets former champion Indongo in what promises to be a sensational clash of styles.”

PROGRAMS (20-0, 17 Kos), Houston trwy gyfrwng New Orleans, has scored knockouts in 13 o'i olaf 14 fights and is a rising star in the wide-open 140-pound division. Indongo represents the toughest challenge of his career with his lone loss to one of the top fighters in boxing, Terence Crawford.

In the 12-round co-feature, undefeated 140-pound contenders Ivan Baranchyk (17-0, 10 Kos) and Anthony Yigit (21-0-1, 7 Kos) will square off in a Junior Welterweight World Title Eliminator to become the mandatory challenger for IBF champion Sergey Lipinets. Lipinets will defend his belt the following day, Mawrth 10, on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® against undefeated three-division champion Mikey Garcia.

The event is presented by DiBella Entertainment, in association with Elite Boxing, Fight Promotions Inc., Holden Productions and Sauerland Promotions. Tocynnau, Pris $200, $80 ac $60, are on sale now and can be purchased on Ticketmaster.com or by calling (877) 907-4726.

The doors open and first bout begins at 5:30 p.m. More information on Deadwood Mountain Grand can be found on their website at www.DeadwoodMountainGrand.com.

The hotly contested first match between Dirrell and Uzcategui, which was also for the IBF interim world title, ended in controversy after Uzcategui was disqualified for landing a punch after the bell sounded to end the eighth round. Dirrell was dropped and knocked out by the punch. The referee ruled that the punch was intentional and disqualified Uzcategui. In the IBF mandated rematch, Dirrell and Uzcategui will look to put themselves in position to fight for the super middleweight title that Caleb Truax recently earned via a majority decision over James DeGale.
Dirrell (26-2, 16 Kos), a bronze medal winner for the 2004 U.S. Olympic boxing team, continues his quest for a world championship. The 34-year-old southpaw from Flint, Michigan lost a split decision to Carl Froch in his first attempt in 2009 and dropped a narrow unanimous decision to DeGale in his next attempt in 2015.
I’m extremely excited to be a part of one of the most dynamic tripleheaders this year,” Dirrell said. “This time around I’ll be phenomenal and leave no doubt who the better fighter is. Rwy'n 100 percent focused on dominating Uzcategui on March 3 and getting another shot at the title.
The 27-year-old Uzcategui (26-2, 22 Kos), who is from Venezuela and now lives in Tijuana, Mecsico, worked his way up to the match against Dirrell with a string of four straight stoppage victories, including a stunning upset of Julian Jackson in 2015. Uzcategui dropped Jackson four times on the way to a second round technical knockout victory.
I’m very excited to go get what’s mine,” meddai'r Uzcategui. “I feel I won the last fight. I didn’t feel I did anything wrong. What happened in the last fight is in the past. I’m going to get what belongs to me. The world will see what ‘Bolivitacan do and they’ll want to see more of me.
