RONALD ELLIS vs. JUNIOR YOUNAN – 10-Round Super Middleweight

 

Ellis returns to ShoBox in his first bout since defeating Christopher Brooker via a unanimous decision in Atlantic City last January. In his ShoBox debut, Ellis fought Jerry Odom to a majority draw in Atlantic City in February 2016.
 

Originally from Lynn, De Massa., the 28-year-old Ellis currently lives and trains in Los Angeles at the Iron Gym under trainer Jerry Rosenberg and his father Ronald Ellis Sr.
 

“It’s going to be fireworks from the jump,” said Ellis, who was scheduled to fight Taneal Goyco in November, but the fight was scrapped when Goyco weighed three pounds over the super middleweight limit. “Younan is a good little fighter, but we are trying to get him out of there. Este é o meu primeiro evento principal, and I want to impress. It will be a good way to start 2018, which will be my year.”
 

Ellis upset highly regarded Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Luvas de Ouro nacionais. Gausha would go on to represent the U.S. no 2012 Jogos Olímpicos.
 

Younan, who is promoted by Roc Nation Sports, was a highly touted amateur boxer who compiled a 90-5 record before turning professional in 2013 com a idade de 18. Once dubbed by The New York Times as “a boxing prodigy” as a 10-year-old, Younan was a two-time National Junior Golden Gloves champion, o 2011 National Junior Olympic championship, and at one point was the No. 1-rated junior boxer in his weight class by USA Boxing.
 

Because of injuries, Younan fought just one time in 2015. After a nine-month layoff, he returned in March of 2016 to beat Cristian Solorzano and has remained active since. Eight of Younan’s 13 pro wins have ended in the first round, including three of his last five fights. The 22-year-old is trained by his father, Sherif Younan
 

“It’s a pleasure to fight on SHOWTIME and I’m excited to put on a show for all the viewers,” Younan said. “I’ve been working as hard as possible and I’m confident my efforts will pay off. I’m going to break my opponent’s spirit and pick him apart. This is my time – in 2018, I’m looking to make a title run and this fight is just the first step.”
 

WELLINGTON ROMERO vs. SAM TEAH – Eight-Round Super Lightweight

 

Romero is originally from the Dominican Republic now fighting out of Newburgh, Nova Iorque. A southpaw, he fights under the Roc Nation Sports promotion and represented the Dominican Republic in the 2012 London Olympics, where he lost to eventual Gold Medalist Vasyl Lomachenko.

 

An accomplished amateur with 268 lutas, Romero earned a bronze medal at the 2010 Central American Games and made back-to-back appearances at the 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championships and the 2011 Pan American Games as a teenager.
 

The 26-year-old Romero fought twice in 2017, recording TKOs in both wins over Kevin Womack Jr. and Mike Fowler.
 

“This fight on SHOWTIME is a great opportunity for me to showcase my talent and I want to thank God, my team and everyone involved for this opportunity,” Romero said. “I’m going to deliver a world class performance for all the boxing fans out there to enjoy. After defeating my opponent, I know I will make a lasting impression on the viewers and start paving my way to a world title belt.”
 

This won’t be the first time Philadelphia’s Teah is facing an undefeated fighter on ShoBox. In Las Vegas in 2015, Teah scored a unanimous decision over previously undefeated O’Shaquie Foster. The 30-year-old’s only loss came against then-undefeated Lavisas Williams in 2014.
 

Nascido na Libéria, Teah did not start boxing until the age of 19. His last four fights have been close to home with three in his hometown of Philadelphia and the other two in Bristol, Pa., and Atlantic City, N.J.
 

“I know my opponent was an Olympian, and he has been in front of a lot of great fighters,” Teah said. “I am excited to face him and take the big challenge. I know I will be his toughest opponent. I am ready to see what he is made of.”
 

THOMAS MATTICE vs. ROLANDO CHINEA – Eight-Round Lightweight
 

A 27-year-old from Cleveland, Mattice turned pro in 2014 and had an amateur record of 72-18. He was a three-time Ohio State Golden Gloves champion, and bronze medal winner in the USA National Tournament in 2014.
 

In his last fight on Nov. 11, Mattice beat Orlando Rizo via seventh-round stoppage in Georgia. Mattice, who has recorded four straight KOs and eight overall in 10 lutas profissionais, is a boxer-puncher who likes to attack the body.
 

“It’s a tough fight for sure,” Mattice said. “I checked him out. It’s going to be a rough fight, but I am prepared for a war. I am prepared for whatever he will bring. I am excited to fight on ShoBox. Ever since I started boxing, I said one day that will be me fighting on TV, and now that dream comes true.”
 

The 26-year-old Chinea returns to ShoBox after handing previously unbeaten Kenneth Sims Jr., the first loss of his professional career via majority decision on July 14. The win moved Chinea’s ShoBox record to 2-0. He had previously won an eight-round split decision victory over O’Shaquie Foster in 2016.
 

A Puerto Rican native now living in Lancaster, Pa., Chinea suffered his only defeat against the hands of Ismail Muwendo in 2015. He has won five straight since, including two unanimous decisions over previously undefeated Ladarius Miller and Mel Crossty, as well as the unbeaten Sims. His last four opponents had a combined record of 38-1-1.
 

“I know Thomas Mattice is another undefeated fighter with a terrific amateur career,” Chinea said. “I am being brought in as his opponent, to make him look good in his national TV debut. I respect Thomas for agreeing to fight me. I am sure that he will bring his best, and it will be another entertaining fight, Chinea style. I am going to be in the best shape of my career. I am going to be stronger, and I am going to hunt him down, rough him up, and beat him. I can’t wait to fight and win again on ShoBox.”
 

DEVIN HANEY vs. HARMONITO DELA TORRE – Eight-Round Lightweights

 

Haney just turned 19 years old last November and already sports a professional record of 18-0 com 12 nocautes. Trained and managed by his father, William Haney, he has been active with nine fights in 2016 and seven in 2017. In his last fight on Nov. 4, he scored a fifth-round TKO against Hamza Sempewo in Atlanta.
 

Raised in Oakland, Calif., Haney was a seven-time national amateur champion and compiled an impressive record of 130-8. Haney is currently living and training in Las Vegas, where he sparred with Floyd Mayweather as the pound-for-pound champ prepared to face Conor McGregor, and Shawn Porter. Haney turned professional when he was 16 years old in Mexico.
 

“Fighting on SHOWTIME, specifically ShoBox, where many champions have been made, is something I’ve envisioned since I turned professional in 2015,” Haney said. “I’m in tough against Harmonito Dela Torre, a hungry fighter who is coming off his first pro loss. I know his back is up against the wall, so I’m expecting him to bring everything he’s got. But this is my time to shine on the big stage and I’m not going to let this opportunity pass me by. I’m the future of boxing and everyone will see my talent on February 2, especially Dela Torre.”
 

Dela Torre is a 23-year-old Philippines native who has been training with Osmiri Fernandez in Miami the past few months at the Sanman Boxing Gym.
 

Dela was scheduled to fight last on Aug. 22 in Las Vegas in a super featherweight bout against undefeated Saul Rodriguez, who inexplicably pulled out of the matchup a few days before the fight.
 

Em vez, Dela Torre entered the ring in Las Vegas on Nov. 18 and suffered his first loss against 2012 Olympic silver medalist Tugstsogt Nyambayar in an eight-round unanimous decision, despite scoring a second-round knockdown. It was the first time in his first nine fights that Nyambayar was taken the distance.
 

Barry Tompkins will call the ShoBox action from ringside with Steve Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. O produtor executivo é Gordon Hall com Richard Gaughan produção e direção de Rick Phillips.

Aqui está o que os lutadores tinham a dizer sobre sua janeiro 20 matchups e muito mais:
ROBERT PÁSCOA (20-0, 14 KOs) – Fazendo terceira defesa do IBF Leve título mundial
“Esta luta pode definitivamente dar um bom tom para mim em 2018. Eu estou indo fazer uma indicação com esta luta. Meus últimos três lutas Eu não tenham obtido um nocaute. Eu vou estar dando os meus fãs e os fãs de luta um bom show.
“Vou usar meu alcance e duração e destruir esse cara do lado de fora. Toda a minha carreira eu tenho lutado caras mais curtos. Cada curta cara não lutar contra a mesma. Mas você entrar no ringue e você senti-lo para fora e fazer ajustes.
“Não há nada em particular que eu tenho que preparar para com Fortuna. Eu levo cada luta o mesmo. Cada lutador luta diferente para que você chegar lá, senti-lo para fora e fazer ajustes à medida que avanças. Eu não estou preocupado sobre ele ser um canhoto. Eu enfrentei muitos canhotos na minha carreira e nos amadores. Isso é nenhum problema em tudo.
“Acho que o que me faz o boxeador mais perigoso nesta luta é ter a altura que eu faço e o poder de perfuração e a velocidade ea mentalidade bem. Minha mentalidade é que eu não vou lá para brincar com ele. Eu estou pronto para destruir.
“Meus objetivos para 2018 são para capturar mais títulos e para obter lutas de unificação. Tivemos alguns campeões na categoria de peso, mas parece que ninguém está disposto a lutar contra os outros campeões. Estamos dispostos a fazer o que for preciso, lutar contra quem tem os títulos. Estamos dispostos a capturar todos os títulos sempre que os outros caras estão dispostos a se inscrever para as lutas.”
JAVIER FORTUNA (33-1-1, 23 KOs) – Ex-campeão mundial Super Pena
“Minha preparação para esta luta está indo muito bem. Eu tenho trabalhado para fora na República Dominicana, mas eu vim de volta para Boston para terminar a minha formação. Agora estamos no 75% e fechando em 100%. I será completamente preparado quando é hora de lutar. Minha preparação e minha estratégia de me fazer o cara mais perigoso.
“Eu vejo isso como nenhuma outra luta que eu tive antes, porque cada adversário é diferente. Todo mundo tem seu próprio nicho neste nível, algo que funciona para eles. Seu nicho é que ele é alto. Ele usa isso para sua vantagem. Mas não é nada que eu não possa superar. Já lutei caras altos antes.
“Eu prefiro meus adversários para ser mais alto. Ele joga para o que eu sou capaz de fazer. Eu nunca tive um problema com os adversários mais altos. Abner Cotto (5-10) é um dos caras altos que eu lutei. Eu lutei em Chicago e colocar em um grande desempenho. (Fortuna marcou um 5th rodada KO contra Cotto)
“O meu objectivo para 2018 é lutar contra todos os melhores lutadores de elite na minha categoria de peso, e eu estou tentando se tornar mencionado como um dos melhores no esporte. Eu realmente quero ganhar mais um título mundial em uma categoria de peso diferente. Seria o maior momento tão longe da minha carreira para chegar mais um título mundial.”
MARCUS BROWNE (20-0, 15 KOs) – Topo 10 Classificado em 175 lbs. (WBC, WBO, WBA & IBF)
“Meu oponente (Francy Ntetu, 17-1, 4 KOs) se parece com um durável, cara durão. Eu vejo essa luta ser muito emocionante para os fãs durante o tempo que dura. Eu vi um pouco de fita sobre ele. Eu sei que ele sempre vem em forma tip-top, e eu ouvi dizer que ele é consistente em seu desempenho no ringue. Eu só sei que eu vou ter que ser afiada em Jan. 20.
“É sempre uma honra lutar aqui em casa e no Barclays Center. É especial para ser capaz de executar na frente desses fãs e eu não posso esperar para colocar em um bom desempenho levando até o Spence vs. luta Peterson.
“Esta luta pode me colocar na posição que eu preciso ser-se para lutar por um título mundial. Eu não pode ser desprovido de qualquer maneira. Eu tenho que sair forte com um grande desempenho do início ao fim e não deixar nenhuma dúvida lá.
“Para 2018, Quero me tornar um campeão do mundo. Estou determinado tomake acontecer este ano. Essa visão começa no Jan. 20 no Barclays Center contra Francy Ntetu.”
FRANCY NTETU (17-1, 4 KOs) – Lutou David Benavidez pelo Barclays Center em junho 2015
“Eu sei Marcus Browne provavelmente vai me levar de ânimo leve e acha que ele vai simplesmente passar por mim. Espero que seja o caso, porque vai ser um choque para ele, os fãs e sua equipe quando eu tomar o seu lugar na fila por um título. Quero enfrentar Eleider Álvarez em nossa cidade natal de Montreal depois de eu obter esta vitória.
“A minha luta anterior no Barclays Center contra a corrente campeão WBC David Benavidez era obviamente uma má decisão do árbitro a parar a luta, especialmente quando eu estava ganhando a rodada e Benavidez estava a abrandar. Eu estava ficando mais forte, enquanto ele estava ficando mais fraco.
“I nunca foi ferido e nunca foi derrubado em uma luta. Quero Marcus para desafiar a si mesmo e ver se ele pode fazer algo que ninguém mais tem. Estou animado para estar em uma luta dessa magnitude. Marcus, é hora para nós para dar aos fãs o que eles querem!”
ADAM Kownacka (16-0, 13 KOs) – Originalmente da Polônia & lutando fora de Brooklyn
“Esta luta vai ser mais um passo para se tornar um campeão. Eu sei que eu vou ter que trabalhar muito duro e provar que eu estou continuando a construir na minha vitória contra Szpilka. A partir do vídeo que eu vi na Iago Kiladze (26-1, 18 KOs), ele se move muito, então eu vou ser a necessidade de cortar o anel. Tudo o que ele traz para o ringue, Eu vou ter uma resposta para.
“Três anos em uma fila agora eu tenho lutado em janeiro. Adoro começando o ano forte. Minha esposa e eu realmente começou a tradição da “Kownacki Family Run” em meia-noite na véspera de Ano Novo. Desde que eu estou sempre se preparando para uma luta em torno de Ano Novo, achamos que poderia muito bem se divertir enquanto trabalhamos. Assim, nós vamos ter alguns amigos sair e executar algumas milhas com a gente ao redor do bairro durante os fogos de artifício. É divertido e ajuda a me preparar.
“Em última análise, Eu estou olhando para se tornar o melhor na divisão peso pesado. O objetivo final para este ano é para se tornar um campeão do mundo. Mas o primeiro passo é tomar Iago Kiladze muito a sério. Eu não posso olhar o passado Janeiro 20 agora mesmo. Eu tenho um adversário difícil, que vai desafiar e me fazer um lutador melhor no longo prazo.”
IAGO Kiladze, Terceira luta desde mover-se para a divisão de pesos pesados (2-0, 2 KOs)
“Eu me sinto ótimo e meu treinamento tem sido fantástico. Meu treinador é Freddie Roach agora. Eu brigaram com (IBF campeão Cruiserweight) Murat Gassiev três vezes recentemente, que é uma grande preparação para mim. Eu acredito que posso nocautear Kownacki mas se eu tiver que ir à distância eu estou preparado para isso. De qualquer jeito, Eu vou ser vitorioso. Estou sinto que eu sou o lutador mais qualificados e que irá mostrar no ringue.
“Esta é uma grande luta para minha carreira e um começo fantástico para 2018. Eu sei que se eu vencer essa luta eu vou estar muito mais perto de um título mundial oportunidade.
“Meu objetivo é ser campeão do mundo no final do 2018. Eu quero continuar melhorando e aprendendo sob Freddie e com a sua orientação estou confiante de sucesso.”

TWO-DIVISION WORLD CHAMPION DANNY GARCIA RETURNS TO THE RING TO FACE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION BRANDON RIOS ON SATURDAY, Fevereiro. 17 LIVE ON SHOWTIME FROM MANDALAY BAY EVENTS CENTER & PRESENTED BY PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS

Mais, 168-Pound Champion David Benavidez Makes First World Title Defense in a Rematch with Ronald Gavril in the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® Co-metragem
Bilhetes à venda Sábado, Dezembro 23 em 10 a.m. PST!
LAS VEGAS (Dezembro 21, 2017) – campeão do mundo Dois divisão Danny “Rápido” Garcia returns to the ring to take on former world champion Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios in a welterweight showdown on Sábado, Fevereiro 17 viver ALTURA DE COMEÇAR at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas and presented by Premier Boxe dos Campeões.
Na co-metragem, mais jovem campeão mundial de boxe David “O Red Flag” Benavidez will defend his Super Middleweight World Championship for the first time against Ronald Gavril in a rematch of their thrilling September 2017 bout in which Benavidez won the vacant title by split decision.
The card is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with DSG Promotions. The Benavidez-Gavril rematch is co-promoted by Sampson Boxing. Tickets for the live event go on sale Sábado, Dezembro. 23 em 10 a.m. PST and will be available at AXS.com.
“I’m excited just to get back in the ring,” disse García, who was reigning world champion for the better part of six years dating back to his win over Hall of Famer Erik Morales in 2012 até março 2017. “I needed the time off to recuperate and let my body heal.”
Garcia (33-1, 19 KOs) was a unified world champion at super lightweight and welterweight and has fought and defeated many of the most formidable opponents in both divisions spanning two generations-Morales, Zab Judah, Kendall Holt, Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse, Paulie Malignaggi and Lamont Peterson among them. Four of his five opponents in the welterweight division were world champions and 10 de sua última 14 opponents were world champions or former world champions.
“I was the reigning champion for six years, so I needed the rest,” continued the 29-year old Philadelphia fighter. “I’m ready to kick off the year in style and take over the welterweight division.”
Em sua última luta, a welterweight clash of world title holders, Garcia lost via split decision to now unified 147-pound world champion Keith Thurman in a hard-fought, exciting fight that aired live on CBS. The SHOWTIME BOXING on CBS broadcast drew the biggest boxing audience of the year, more than five million viewers which remains the largest audience to witness a primetime boxing broadcast since 1998.
Agora, Garcia looks to re-establish his once dominant position at welterweight, a division that boasts more top-10 pound-for-pound fighters in the sport than any other weight class; fighters including world champions Errol Spence Jr., Thurman, Shawn Porter, Kell Brook, Lamont Peterson and more.
“What’s interesting in this fight with Brandon Rios is our styles. We both like to come forward. This kind of matchup will bring out the best in both of us. I’m excited to be back in Las Vegas. I’ve had some of my best performances and some of my biggest fights there. I beat Lucas Matthysse and Amir Khan in Vegas. You fight in Las Vegas, you’re a superstar,” added Garcia.
Como Garcia, Rios has fought many of the top welterweights of this era including world champions Timothy Bradley and Manny Pacquiao. The hard-nosed slugger from Oxnard, Calif., tem 34 vitórias, 25 por nocaute. The 31-year-old Rios always comes prepared to battle. With an aggressive style and granite chin, he is one of the most entertaining boxers in the sport. In his last fight he scored a TKO victory over Aaron Herrera on Junho 11. A victory over Garcia, a top-10 welterweight in his own right, would immediately change the course of Rios’ career and demand that he be placed among the top-ranked in the division.
“I’m excited to prove my critics wrong again,” said Rios. “I’m bring a ‘Bam Bam’ Rios slugfest to my fans. Danny is a great fighter, but I will beat him just like I have beat others in the past. I am focused and will make this a classic Mexican-Puerto Rican battle!”
“SHOWTIME is poised to start the year with two crucial welterweight main event matchups,” disse Stephen Espinoza, Vice-Presidente Executivo e Gerente Geral da Showtime Sports®. “Following the January 20th event pitting Errol Spence Jr. vs. Lamont Peterson, Garcia vs. Rios features two of the most battle-tested and ferocious 147-pound fighters in the world. Add in the Benavidez vs. Gavril II co-feature, a fight that is guaranteed to deliver dramatic action, and we are picking up right where we left off in 2017 delivering the most compelling and important matchups in boxing’s deepest divisions.”
“We’re looking forward to the action at Mandalay Bay Events Center in February,” disse Leonard Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promotions. “Both Garcia and Rios are seasoned fighters that have faced the toughest competition in the welterweight division and they are both very hungry for a big win. The co-feature rematch between the youngest reigning world champion David Benavidez and challenger Ronald Gavril we already know will be thrilling. All four of these men have proven that they’ll put it all on the line in the boxing ring to leave no doubt about who the better man is. Além, we are working on a crowd-pleasing undercard now. Everyone on this card will need to bring their ‘A game’ to Las Vegas in order to be victorious on Fevereiro 17.”
“Danny Garcia is one of the most battle-tested, skillful boxers in the sport. What he did in running through the 140-pound division before moving up to welterweight is simply amazing,” disse Tom Brown, Presidente da TGB Promoções. “‘Bam Bam’ Rios is a throwback warrior. He never met a fight that he backed down from. Putting Garcia and Rios into the ring against each other promises nothing but fireworks in a match that should provide maximum entertainment for fans. It’s the kind of fight that belongs in Las Vegas, a classic battle that harkens to welterweight wars of the past. The first match between Benavidez and Gavril left enough room for doubt that a rematch should settle any remaining questions. I’d expect both boxers to come in with something to prove and that translates into a fan-friendly match.”
The 21-year-old Benavidez (19-0, 17 KOs) became the youngest reigning world champion in boxing and the youngest 168-pound champion in history at 20-years, nine months old when he scored a split decision against Gavril to win the super middleweight title on Setembro 8. The bout featured multiple swings of momentum, thrilling exchanges and a wild 12th redondo. Benavidez and Gavril pushed each other to deliver the best performance of their respective careers thus far.
“I feel I won the fight,” said Gavril immediately after the decision. “I dominated the pace. I can’t say anything else… The only thing I can do is to ask for a rematch.”
Em Fevereiro 17, Gavril will get it.
“No excuses this time,” disse Sampson Lewkowicz de Sampson Boxe. “The minute Benavidez finished the fight I requested the rematch-on behalf of the winner-for the sole reason that he needed to win by emphatically and not by split decision. I wanted the public to be able to have the rematch so that everyone will know who the best is. I expect this time Gavril will say that he’s really been beaten. As the youngest reigning champion in the sport today, I want no doubt that Benavidez is the better man. It was a great fight the first time and this time we’ll see who the best truly is. Sem desculpas. No doubt.”
Lutando fora de Phoenix, Ariz., Benavidez had scored 10 straight knockouts leading up to the match against Gavril. His eight-round KO victory over Rogelio Medina put him position for the vacant title.
“This is a fight that my father, my team and I decided to take again to show everybody that I’m really the champion and there’s more to me than just being the youngest world champion,” Benavidez said. “I feel like I’m the better fighter and I’m going to definitely show it this time. I learned from that first fight that he puts on a lot of pressure. He likes to throw at the same time that I’m throwing. There are a couple different approaches to take against that. It’s going to be a great night of fights. Danny Garcia and ‘Bam Bam’ Rios, these are two fighters I look up to in the sport and it’s an honor to fight in their undercard. My training has been going well. We decided to bring in a strength and conditioning coach and I feel really strong. I believe I’ll be very prepared.”
Gavril (18-2, 14 KOs) rose rapidly through the ranks by scoring seven straight victories including four by knockout since 2015. The 31-year-old Gavril was born in Bacau, Romania and now lives and fights out of Las Vegas. He fought a brilliant match against Benavidez, seizing control in the middle rounds and even dropping the young contender in the 12th with less than a minute left in the fight. Em última análise, it wasn’t enough as Gavril lost on two of the three judges’ scorecards.
“I can’t wait to get into the ring again and take that belt,” said Gavril. “I learned his game plan quickly during the first fight, I blocked it well then, and I plan to do the same again. He has fast hands and power, I won’t take that from him, but I am prepared for whatever plan he comes in the ring with. I know I have what it takes to win this time. Preparing for this fight the second time around has been different, training has been more intense, and my team is preparing me to take him out once and for all. I can’t let him win. Some people said I won back in September, and were surprised by my performance. Eu pensei que era perto, and I thought the knock down gave me the advantage to win. All I can do is be ready. I don’t think either of us will upset the fans on fight night. I want to thank Floyd Mayweather and Leonard for another opportunity against Benavidez. He’s a great fighter and tough competitor and this will certainly be a great fight.”

MIKEY GARCIA
“Estamos esperando uma luta competitiva difícil. Lipinets é um lutador que é sempre perigoso. Ele tem o poder em ambas as mãos e ele não tem medo de deixar suas mãos ir. Ele também está disposto a começar a batida, para que ele possa batê-lo de volta. Isso é o que o torna perigoso.
“Esta oportunidade de ganhar um título em uma quarta divisão era grande demais para passar. É difícil garantir lutas como esta. Estou feliz tudo veio junto para que possamos dar aos fãs um grande show.
“O ano passado foi um grande ano para o meu retorno. Tudo começou com uma vitória do título mundial para um título da terceira divisão e, em seguida, tive a grande vitória sobre Adrien Broner no verão. Estou à procura de coisas ainda maiores em 2018 e neste último ano realmente abriu o caminho para que.
“Ganhar um quarto título foi o grande atrativo para me em fazer essa luta acontecer. Para fazer história como essa é algo que realmente me motiva. Eu sei que eu tenho muito mais a realizar no esporte, mas este é um grande começo. Esta é a direção que eu quero ir em.
“Há muito talento e história no boxe em San Antonio. Meu irmão tem um ginásio aqui e temos um monte de lutadores que treinam com a partir da área. Mesmo que eu nunca lutei aqui, Eu recebi um monte de apoio da comunidade. Quando estávamos procurando em locais para a luta, isso era algo que eu estava animado para fazer.
“Lutei em diferentes regiões do Texas e sempre recebeu muito amor, mas eu nunca tinha sido capaz de lutar em San Antonio. Decidimos trazer a luta aqui para dar algo de volta para o estado do Texas. Não há cidade melhor para hospedá-lo de San Antonio.”
SERGEY LIPINETS
“Os fãs em San Antonio pode esperar de drama. Vai ser um show. Ele vai ter grandes socos, knockdowns e tudo o que você gostaria de ver em uma luta.
“Este é o maior desafio que eu tive na minha carreira. Mikey é uma grande estrela, mas eu sou muito competitivo e eu quero mostrar ao mundo o que posso fazer.
“Meu espírito não pode ser igualada por qualquer lutador, mas também tenho a velocidade e força para vencer. Vou mostrar o meu poder devastador sobre Fevereiro 10.
“Mikey é um muito bom jogador de xadrez. As pessoas subestimam sua capacidade de pensar no ringue. Então eu não posso simplesmente ir lá com um estilo que alguém tenha usado contra ele. Nós vamos trabalhar duro sobre o melhor plano de jogo para o que posso fazer.
“Esta vai ser uma luta difícil. Eu estou com o objetivo de conseguir uma vitória de qualquer maneira que eu puder. Eu não posso dizer o que vai parecer, mas vou estar pronto para qualquer coisa no ringue.
“Eu estou vindo para ganhar. Eu quero estar na posição que Mikey atingiu neste esporte. Eu trabalhei duro para chegar a este momento e eu vou dar tudo de mim para tirar proveito.
“Se eu não acho que eu estava pronto para essa luta, então eu não teria tomado. Nós temos um plano e vamos usar toda a experiência que eu ganhei da minha carreira para executá-lo.”
Richard Schaefer, Presidente & CEO da Ringstar Sports
“Boxe está entrando em 2018 com grande ímpeto e começar com grandes eventos como este. Você tem dois campeões invictos ficando no ringue para lutar entre si. These kind of fights are going to continue to elevate the sport to great heights.
“Esta foi uma luta fácil de fazer, porque você tem dois lutadores que querem medir-se contra o melhor. Esta é uma luta que foi feito rapidamente. Nem lutador teve que ser convencido. Ambos os rapazes sentem que podem ganhar e vai para a luta com uma atitude de um lutador invicto.
“Nem um desses caras tem qualquer pensamento de que eles podem perder. Eles são 100 por cento convencido de que eles estão indo para sair de lá com sua mão levantada. Isso é o que vai fazer deste um grande confronto.”

LOS ANGELES (Dezembro 18, 2017) – Invicto campeão mundial três divisões Mikey Garcia e invicto IBF Campeão do Mundo Júnior Welterweight Sergey Lipinets fui cara-a-cara pela primeira vez Segunda-feira at a press conference in Los Angeles to discuss their main event showdown on Sábado, Fevereiro. 10 vivo no canal Showtime (10:15 p.m. E/PT). The matchup of top-5 ranked junior welterweights will take place at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas and is presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

cobertura SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING também contará com campeão do mundo duas divisão Rances Barthelemy em uma revanche contra Kiryl Relikh para o WBA título vago mundo 140 libras.

 

Os ingressos para o evento, que é promovido pela Ringstar Sports e Promoções TGB, custam $250, $150, $75, $50 e $20. Os ingressos estarão à venda amanhã em 12 p.m. CT and will be available at Ticketmaster.com.

 

Lipinets will be making the first defense of his world title while Garcia looks to become only the third fighter in modern history to become a champion at 126, 130, 135 and 140-pounds, joining future Hall of Famers Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao*.

 

Aqui está o que os participantes da conferência de imprensa tinha a dizer Segunda-feira do Conga Room em L.A.. Vivo:

 

MIKEY GARCIA

 

“A world champion like Sergey Lipinets is more exciting an opponent for me than an easy title defense. I wanted a challenge and this man presents that. He’s a bigger man naturally. He’s going to be very hungry and motivated. He knows a victory over me launches his career to the top. That’s going to make this an interesting fight.

 

“To win a world title in a fourth division is a big deal to me. My dad always wanted a three-division world champion, and now I have a chance to give him a fourth title. That’s something that really excites me.

 

“It’s been a great return to boxing since my layoff. When I came back, I wanted to move fast and take on big challenges. That’s what we’ve been doing so far. I want to take on any challenges that people think I can’t achieve. I think slowly we’re proving to everyone that I’m better than ever and I’m going to keep taking on the kinds of fights that will cement my legacy.

 

“It would be a great accomplishment to be in the discussion with guys like Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, that would be a win in itself. But it wasn’t on my mind when taking this fight. I just want to keep fighting the best out there. There’s still more for me to accomplish until I’m on the same level as Pacquiao and Marquez.

 

“It’s going to be a great fight. Like I’ve said, the challenge for me is that I’ll be fighting the bigger man. Na noite da luta, that advantage he has on me might be enough to make it that much more exciting. It will be interesting to see how well I adapt to the size. I have to make adjustments to overcome those challenges. This should give the fans the excitement that we want to give them.

 

“My only focus is on Fevereiro 10 against Sergey Lipinets. That’s my target throughout the entire camp. There may be more opportunities for me on the horizon, but you’ll see on fight night that I’m one hundred percent focused.

 

“I know that I have the possibility to be the biggest star in boxing like a Floyd Mayweather, and I think I’m on track to accomplish that. I don’t see a lot of guys in the sport with the resume of accomplishments that I have. I’m going to continue take on the best and beat my opponents convincingly.”

 

SERGEY LIPINETS

 

“Mikey Garcia is a great champion and I want to be in the position that he’s reached in this sport. The only way there is to go through him.

 

“I’m taking on a great challenge against Mikey Garcia, and many people think I’m not ready. This is the fight that I wanted. I’ve had many obstacles in my way throughout my career and I’ve overcome them all. I’m going to overcome Mikey Garcia just like that.

 

“Every time I have sparred with top fighters, like Terrence Crawford, I have learned more about what I need to improve to get to the next level in this sport. That kind of experience has helped my confidence increase and will help me when I face Mikey Garcia.

 

“A lot of things can happen when you move up in weight. Usually people use some pop. Whatever version of Mikey Garcia shows up; I’ll be ready for him.

 

“I believe I’m going to win, Mikey believes he’s going to win, and it will all unveil in the ring. One thing I can guarantee; que vai ser uma grande luta.

 

“Every fight I’ve had has been against a tough opponent who has helped get me to this point. Agora, I’m ready to fight the best, and Mikey Garcia is truly that.

 

“I had to work very hard to make the transition from champion kickboxer to a champion boxer. I did everything I had to do, moving from gym to gym and sparring everyone. I always aimed for the best and wanted to be the best at what I do.”

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & Treinador

 

“We know that Sergey Lipinets is a very dangerous fighter. He’s a really strong champion. I know he’s going to be hungry because he wants to become a big name by beating Mikey.

 

“Mikey is very smart in the ring. We’re going to come in there with a good game plan. We’ll have some big sparring partners. Strong, heavy guys who will give Mikey a big challenge in sparring.

 

“Mikey has to be in great shape for this fight. You can easily win the first eight rounds, but there are still four left. You have to be able to finish the fight. A great power puncher like Lipinets can finish you in one round.”

 

BUDDY MCGIRT, Lipinets’ Trainer

 

“We will be prepared for any and every thing. This way, when fight night comes, we’ll have an answer for everything. The key is that we just have to be on point from the opening bell to the end. There’s no way around it.

 

“We’re going to cover everything in training camp. You have to have every option available to you on fight night. This way, you’re never surprised in the ring. Sergey won’t go in there swinging to get a knockout, he’s going to be disciplined and focus on getting the victory.

 

“I believe that Sergey is on a mission. I know Mikey Garcia is on a mission too, and I respect that. I respect that these two men are fighting each other. Champions do what Sergey is doing, and that’s fighting the best.”

 

Richard Schaefer, Presidente & CEO da Ringstar Sports

 

“This is going to be a huge night for the 140-pound division. It will be another toe-to-toe showdown at the Alamodome in San Antonio, where so many great matchups have taken place before. Os ingressos começam em apenas $20 so we expect another great crowd of fight fans down in Texas.

 

“This matchup features two undefeated fighters, two big punchers and 50 vitórias, 40 por nocaute, between the two of them. These guys are both champions who are daring to be great. These are exactly the kind of fighters that the public likes. These fighters will push themselves to be great.

 

“These guys only know one thing, and that is winning. Sergey Lipinets is the biggest puncher at 140-pounds and it seems like Mikey Garcia always seeks out these big punchers.

 

“Mikey is looking to do something that only Manny Paccquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have done, in moving up from 126 pounds through 140 pounds winning titles at each division. It is very difficult to carry that power up from featherweight. You have to tune-in to see an exciting fighter like that trying to make history.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Vice-Presidente Executivo & Director Geral, Showtime Sports

 

“What boxing needs are great fights. Good, high quality matchups like Leo Santa Cruz vs. Carl Frampton, Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia and Errol Spence vs. Kell Brook. There needs consistently be good fights, and that’s what we have been doing at SHOWTIME for the last couple of years. No other network has done the quality of fights that SHOWTIME is doing. No other network is as committed to the sport as SHOWTIME has been.

 

“The best need to fight the best, and that is what Mikey Garcia has done. He came off of a two-and-a-half-year layoff and em 18 meses he’s had four fights, two title fights and will be going for a title in a fourth weight class, something only Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have done before. That’s what great fighters do.

 

“Historically the fighters who separate themselves as legendary, are the ones who challenge themselves and travel across weight classes to seek these challenges. But there are two sides to this story. Those who have been paying attention have seen Sergey Lipinets make a lot of noise on SHOWTIME cards lately. He has risen very quickly.

 

“If you just look at Lipinets’ record, 13-0, and think about him fighting Mikey Garcia it would sound crazy. But if you look at the kind of competition he’s faced, his last seven opponents have a combined record of 163-15. That’s not something you usually see 13 fights into a career. Lipinets is a combat veteran, and whatever happens in the ring, he will be ready for it. It’s going to make for an exciting night.”

*Pacquiao won lineal championships at 126 and 140-pounds, although he did not win alphabet titles.

Tickets on Sale Next Week!
SAN ANTONIO (Dezembro 14, 2017) – Invicto campeão mundial três divisões Mikey Garcia will attempt to win a world title in a fourth weight class when he challenges unbeaten IBF 140-pound world champion Sergey Lipinets em Sábado, Fevereiro 10 viver ALTURA DE COMEÇAR. The matchup of top-5 ranked junior welterweights will take place at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas and is presented by Premier Boxe dos Campeões.
campeão do mundo Dois divisão Rances Barthelemy vai enfrentar Kiryl Relikh in a rematch of their May showdown on SHOWTIME, this time for the vacant WBA 140-pound world title. The doubleheader of title bouts in the wide-open 140-pound division sets the stage for a potential unification match.
Os ingressos para o evento, que é promovido pela Ringstar Sports e Promoções TGB, custam $250, $75, $50 e $20. Tickets will go on sale next week and will be available at Ticketmaster.com.
The 29-year-old Garcia (37-0, 30 KOs), emphatically returned to pound-for-pound lists in 2017 by scoring a highlight reel knockout of Dejan Zlaticanin to win the WBC Lightweight World Championship in January and then dominating four-division champion Adrien Broner on his way to a unanimous decision in July. Garcia is a member of a renowned boxing family, and is noted for his sportsmanship and his commanding presence in the ring, honed by his brother and acclaimed trainer Robert Garcia.
Garcia, of Moreno Valley by way of Oxnard, Calif., returned to the ring after a two-and-half-year layoff in July 2016 without missing a beat by stopping former champion Elio Rojas. Garcia, who has held world titles at 126, 130 e 135 libras, parou 19 de sua última 22 opponents including Roman “Rochoso” Martinez, Juan Manuel Lopez and Orlando Salido.
“It is a dream to have the opportunity to become a four-division worldchampion,” Garcia said. “San Antonio has some of the greatest boxing fans in the country, including some key supporters of my Robert Garcia Boxing Academy family. Desde a minha última luta, I have stayed in the gym. I can’t wait to give the fans in Texas and those watching at home on SHOWTIME another great performance.”
The unbeaten Lipinets (13-0, 10 KOs) captured a super lightweight world title in just his 13th pro fight by defeating Akihiro Kondo via a unanimous decision on Novembro 4 no canal Showtime. He is originally from Kazakhstan but moved to Russia when he was six years old. He currently lives in Beverly Hills, Califórnia, Lipinets and is trained by Buddy McGirt.
The 28-year-old moved up the 140-pound rankings with victories over then unbeaten Haskell Rhodes, Levan Ghvamichava and Walter Castillo before knocking out Leonardo Zappavigna in a world title eliminator last December. Lipinets will look to stamp his place as an elite fighter when he takes on the accomplished and dangerous Garcia on Fevereiro 10.
“Getting the title is one thing, but keeping the title is a more difficult task,” said Lipinets. “I’m not about to give it away to anybody. No disrespect to Mikey Garcia or anybody else out there, but I’m keeping my title. Beating Mikey Garcia will put me in the elite of boxing where I believe I belong. I’m happy my team was able to put this great fight together. I can promise you this won’t be a snoozer. It’s going to be an action-packed fight for sure.”
“We’re going to call it’ ‘Undefeated.’ That pretty much sums it up. Two undefeated fighters, champion versus champion,” said Richard Schaefer, Presidente & CEO da Ringstar Sports. “It’s a big challenge for Mikey Garcia to win a championship belt in his fourth weight class. Lipinets never backs down and he’s out to show that’s he one of the biggest punchers in the division. A win for Lipinets is a game-changer for his family and his career. A win for Mikey is another feather in his cap and will help him be recognized as pound-for-pound best in the world. I’m happy to be back in San Antonio at the Alamodome. I’ve promoted some big fights there. San Antonio fight fans are in for a real treat seeing two of the best fighting each other. I’m sure the fans will embrace this fight.”
“We have another intriguing matchup of two young, hungry undefeated fighters who lay it on the line every time they step into the ring,” disse Tom Brown, Presidente da TGB Promoções. “As talented as Mikey is, you can’t count Lipinets out. He’s one of the hardest hitters in the 140-pound division. He’s a tough competitor and there’s a reason why he’s a world champion. He knows this is a career-defining fight and he’s going to do everything he can to spoil the party for Garcia in San Antonio on Feb. 10.”
“In three consecutive fights on SHOWTIME since his return to the sport, Mikey Garcia has solidified his position on boxing’s pound-for-pound lists,” disse Stephen Espinoza, Vice-Presidente Executivo e Gerente Geral, Showtime Sports. “Mikey has proven he’s willing to take on the most avoided opponents in any division as he seeks out the biggest possible matchups in the sport. He’ll face yet another dangerous opponent in Sergey Lipinets, an undefeated champion in his own right, as he seeks to become a four-division world champion. On the heels of Errol Spence vs. Lamont Peterson on Janeiro 20, a matchup of consensus top-10 welterweights, we’re proud to deliver this main event of top-5 ranked fighters to build on the momentum.”
Barthelemy (26-0, 13 KOs), who was born in Arroyo Naranjo, Cuba and now lives in Las Vegas, has won world titles at 130 e 135 libras. He defeated Relikh by unanimous decision in his debut at 140 pound in his last fight on Maio 20. If he defeats Relikh again, he will become the first Cuban boxer to win world championships in three different weight classes. He defeated Argenis Mendez by unanimous decision to win the 130-pound world title in 2014 and a year later scored a unanimous decision over Denis Shafikov for the 135-pound world title. Barthelemy, 31, has two brothers, Yan and Leduan, who are professional boxers who he trains alongside with under the tutelage of Ismael Salas.
Relikh (21-2, 19 KOs) believes that he won the first match with Barthelemy and that the scorecards did not reflect the competitive nature of the fight. The 28-year-old nearly had Barthelemy out after landing a barrage of punches that penned Barthelemy on the ropes, but he was only awarded a knockdown. In the eighth round, Barthelemy came back to drop Relikh with a body shot. Shortly after the Maio 20 title eliminator, the WBA ordered a rematch, this time to be contested for the vacant 140-pound title. This will be Relikh’s second world title shot after the fighter from Minsk, Belarus lost a unanimous decision to Ricky Burns in Glasgow, Scotland on Oct. 7, 2016.

Claressa Shields

“I am calm – focused – but still hungry like a challenger with the added confidence of being a world champion. I took some time off after my last win but I look forward to getting busy again in 2018.

 

“This training camp I did eight weeks instead of six. A lot of camp has been extremely hard. But I’m so focused and determined on 2018 and starting great and staying busy. I expect my opponent to apply pressure, and to use some dirty tactics. She has more experience, but not that much when you speak of her amateur experience

 

“There is no doubt I will start 2018 with a win. Then I just take it one fight at a time. Right now my focus is Nelson.

 

“I’m excited to be on SHOWTIME as the first fight of the year, and just to be back inside the ring. I feel I have been the face of women’s boxing for some time now. I don’t let it feel like pressure – I just work really hard in the gym.

 

"Dentro 2018 I expect great fights against the best contenders. I expect to make history again on SHOWTIME and also looking forward to dropping to 160 to fight against [Christina] Hammer mid-2018. January 12th will be the beginning of great things to come

 

“Training through the holidays is fine. The difference between the amateurs and now is that I was always in other countries competing. Now I get to be home with my family getting ready and I feel good.

 

“The matchup to me will play out with the first few rounds of me using my jab. Then I’ll add the combinations as the fight goes on. I see it being competitive though. I’m going to earn the win. I believe I can KO her by the sixth, seventh round.”
