Esto es lo que los participantes en la conferencia de prensa tenían que decir Miércoles:
ERROL SPENCE JR.
“You’re going to see the same Errol Spence that you’re used to. I can’t look ahead because I know how dangerous Lamont Peterson is. I’ve been in training camps with him and I know what he can do.
“I’ve seen too many fighters look down the road and get beat before they get to the big fight. I have to be 100 percent focused and hungry. I’m fully dedicated to this fight.
“Lamont can push me to even greater levels. I feel like he is a better fighter than Kell Brook and has even more heart than Kell Brook and he can bring out the best in me.
“I think it’s going to start out as a boxing match, but as we go on, it’s going to be a dog fight. We both have big hearts. I’ve never known Lamont to turn down any fight. Not a lot of people wanted to fight me. The big names shied away from me but Lamont stood up and said he’d fight me. This is going to be a hard fight.
“I used to watch Lamont and his brother Anthony Peterson before I ever met them. I like their styles, the way they throw body punches and the fundamentals that they learned from Barry Hunter.
“I think I can be known as the best pound-for-pound in the sport, but I have to take it one fight at a time. I want to be the undisputed welterweight champion. That should be everyone’s ultimate goal – to be the best fighter in the sport. But first I have a big test ahead of me Enero 20.
“This is the business of the sport. I was a young guy when Lamont was giving me advice. Now we’ve gotten to this point. It really shows his longevity in the sport and how I’ve reached the ranks of being a top pro fighter.
“Sparring with Lamont Peterson was really great work. Fue una experiencia de aprendizaje. I was an amateur so I was going at a fast pace and Lamont was being patient, blocking and countering and picking his shots. He was fighting at a pro pace and I didn’t really understand it until I got farther into my career.
“You’ve seen me and Lamont fight. We’re not in boring fights. We have fan-friendly styles and you’re going to get a really good fight. We have the mentality to really go after it and give it our all to get this win.
“I want the best in this division to all fight each other. It’s time for everyone else to stand up and proclaim that they want to be great. That’s how we get this division to the peak. I don’t feel like waiting to fight the best. I want to prove myself.”
Lamont Peterson
“This is a world title fight and I’m thankful for that. I try not to make too much out of each fight. I just want to take it one fight at a time. I’ve done this for 13 years as a professional. All fights are the same. I’m going to go in there and take care of business.
“As a top fighter, you’re obligated to take what comes on the table. Regardless of who it is. Es boxeo. It’s a sport and we’re competitors. We want to go in there and compete to see who’s the best. We’re going to treat it like business like we always do.
“You already know when I fight, it’s a feeling out process to start, but in my head, Estoy listo para ir. It’s going to get rough in the trenches and we’ll see who wants it more.
“I knew six years ago when Errol was in my camp that we’d get to this point. I knew he would be a champion. En la mayor parte, I’ve seen him improve and progress throughout the pro ranks and I believe he’s going to keep getting better.
“I don’t pay any attention to the outside noise. I respect everyone’s opinion. I just go out and train to do what I love to do. I do this because I love to box. I’m not here to get on a list. I truly love this sport.
“I can’t worry about people thinking that Errol is the next star in this sport. I believe that, but I can’t worry about it. It is up to me and my team to come up with the right type of strategy and execute it.
“I’m not too worried about figuring out his southpaw stance. I’ve been around long enough and encountered enough southpaws. I’m confident I’ll be able to handle it.
“The size may seem like an advantage for Errol, but it’s up to me and my team to figure out the best way to negate it. I know who I am. I’m a competitive person. Independientemente de todo, I’m going to come to win.”
Derrick James, Entrenador de Spence
“We have a game plan in place. We’ll try to perfect everything leading up to this one. We’re working on making Errol a more complete fighter every time out. He’ll be better than he was when you saw him against Brook.
“We’re looking for the perfect fight. It takes a great fighter to bring out the greatness in another great fighter. These guys are high caliber fighters and it’s about as good a matchup as you can have in the division.
“These are two guys with the mentality to go after it. But they also have technical skill. This is going to be an old school fight between guys with real skills.
“It’s one thing to do it, but it’s another to teach. I’ve really understood this sport since I became a trainer. Fighters are developed, not born. I’m going to keep working with these guys on the fundamentals so we can bring up the whole sport.”
Barry Hunter, Entrenador de Peterson
“When I look at Errol Spence, I instantly fell in love with him because he reminded me of Lamont so much. They both have that dog mentality. I’ve always known he was a special fighter.
“Lamont told me when he worked with Errol that he really liked the kid. He knew he would be a world champion. I had to remind myself that this is business. We have to fight our friends.
“These are the two guys who are ready to fight anybody. The fight on Enero 20 is going to be one to remember. It’s a fan-friendly fight.
“Errol Spence is the best fighter in the welterweight division. You have athletes that can fight and athletes who are fighters. Errol and Lamont are both. They have the skills and they have the ability to fight.
“To be the best in the world, you have to fight the best in the world. All the greats have done it. In order to get back to the glory days, we need to put the best against the best. I have confidence in Lamont Peterson against anybody.”
Lou DiBella, El presidente de DiBella Entertainment
“There are very few fights you could make that are better in the welterweight division than this fight. It’s going to take place at the home of big-time boxing, here at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and live on SHOWTIME.
“Errol Spence is one of the most talked about fighters in the sport. Some think he could be the best fighter in the world. He’s consistently said he only wants to fight the best and on Enero 20 he will be fighting another champion and another great welterweight. Lamont Peterson never backs down from a challenge and we know he’ll be ready for this fight on Enero 20.
“This is a great event that continues the run of significant meaningful matchups on SHOWTIME. It’s been great quality programming. The fight cards have all been incredibly easy to promote because the fights have been so strong. You have to make fights with great fighters battling other great fighters. That’s what we need to energize our fans and our sport.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, VP ejecutivo & Gerente General, SHOWTIME Sports
“As we come to the end of 2017 we look back on what has been a really strong year. 25 nights of live boxing, 80 live boxing matches and 27 peleas de título mundial. Not just title fights, but world title fights featuring top ranked challengers against top ranked champions.
“We’ve brought you the most watched fight of the year in Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia right here at Barclays Center on CBS. It was also the most watched primetime boxing match in nearly 20 año. But we will not be resting on our laurels.
“We’ll kick off next year with an incredibly strong card. Errol Spence has grown up on SHOWTIME and we’re proud of that. He made his debut on ShoBox and won his world title on SHOWTIME. He has knocked out nine straight opponents and in his last five fights his opponents have an impressive record of 141-7-3.
“Not a lot of fighters are rushing to fight Errol Spence. Lamont Peterson not only stepped up to the challenge, but he relinquished his welterweight title to take this fight. That’s the kind of fighter he is. He has one of the strongest resumes in the division and he’s fought the best guys in the sport.
“We’re thrilled to kick off the year with this matchup. It’s another great fight in the welterweight division, a division we’ve been paying a lot of attention to for years. We’ll see you on Enero 20.”
BRETT Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entretenimiento
“We’re coming off of an incredible 2017 for BROOKLYN BOXING. It far exceeded my expectations. We’re very committed to boxing, not just now, but in the future. This fight kicks off what I think will be a great 2018 for BROOKLYN BOXING.
“Lamont was on the first ever PBC card at Barclays Center in 2015 and Brooklyn is happy to have you back. Errol was here in the spring of 2016 and we’ve had him as a fan several times, but we far prefer having you here in the ring.
“Barclays Center is known for hosting 50-50 fights and this is no different. We’re thrilled to be holding this event here in Brooklyn. We look forward to seeing you on Enero 20.”

In Peterson, he faces another elite welterweight and a two-time world champion. Spence vs. Peterson will bring the heat to Barclays Center on a chilly January 20. This is yet another night in the outstanding run of big time fights on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.”
“Spence vs. Peterson is an intriguing matchup between two elite welterweights looking to reach the top of this marquee division,” dijo Tom Brown, Presidente de Promociones TGB. “Errol Spence is a rising star with his sights set on title unification and the top of the pound-for-pound list, but he’s going to receive a stern test from Lamont Peterson, a multiple division champion whose resume is filled with top class opponents.

“My goal is to unify the welterweight division in 2018, but this fight is a true test and Lamont Peterson is a veteran that I definitely will not overlook,” dijo Spence. “I sparred him in the amateurs and I know what he brings to the table. I have to get through him to achieve my goals and that is what I plan on doing 20 de enero.”
Peterson (35-3-1, 17 KOs), de Washington, D.C., has won titles at 140 y 147 pounds while facing some of the biggest names in the sport, including Danny Garcia, Amir Khan and Timothy Bradley. The 33-year-old won the WBA 147-pound title in his last outing Febrero. 18 on SHOWTIME before relinquishing the belt for the chance to challenge Spence. Peterson has won four of his last five outings, twice fighting at Barclays Center. His Brooklyn debut saw him defeat Edgar Santana by TKO in 2014 before dropping a narrow majority draw to Garcia in a 2015 main event in Brooklyn.
“En primer lugar, I’m happy to be getting back in the ring,” dijo Peterson. “I’ve stayed in the gym and I’m ready to go. This is a fight I wanted and as I said before when I became a welterweight, I want to fight the best and make the fights that people want to see. I’m ready to give it my all and give the fans a great show.”

Fue una pelea técnicamente sólida entre dos consumados ex destacados aficionados. Butaev, que dominó desde las primeras rondas, conectado en 41 por ciento de sus golpes de poder (66 de 162) comparado con 27 por ciento para González (47 o 173).

"Sentí que controlaba toda la pelea, pero fue más resistente de lo que esperaba,"Dijo Butaev a través de un traductor. "González conectó buenos tiros pero no pudo rematarme".

Farhood dijo que Butaev no pudo hacer algunos ajustes clave durante la pelea.. “[Butaev] no tenía su entrenador aquí,"Él dijo. "Quizás por eso no hizo ajustes. Todavía tiene un futuro prometedor, pero esta no fue su mejor actuación ".

González fue entrenado en su esquina por el destacado entrenador Rubén Guerrero. “Me lastimé el hombro en el tercer asalto pero me quedé en la pelea y empujé la pelea,", Dijo González, “Cuando me lastimé el hombro, No pude lanzar mi jab de izquierda también, No pude trabajar el jab. Si no hubiera sido herido, Lo habría roto más en las rondas posteriores.”

En la segunda pelea de la transmisión de cuatro peleas, un enfrentamiento de pesos pesados ​​invictos, 28-años de edad Junior Fa (13-0, 8 KOs) eliminó a Pittsburgh Freddy Latham (9-1-2, 5 KOs), entregándole la primera derrota de su carrera profesional sólo 67 segundos en la lucha. Era el 169º vez que un luchador ha perdido su récord invicto en el ShoBox serie.

El Fa de Nueva Zelanda envió al ex campeón de los Guantes de Oro Latham pedaleando hacia atrás desde la campana de apertura con una andanada de golpes cuando el árbitro Clifford Pinkney saltó entre los luchadores.. Latham, que nunca había sido detenido, luchó por mantenerse de pie mientras se inclinaba contra las cuerdas. Haga clic en AQUÍ para ver el video del paro.

“De hecho, iba a seguir adelante, sigue luchando pero luego se cae. El estaba fuera de eso. El árbitro me tiró hacia atrás,"Dijo Fa, quien ganó un nocaut en el primer asalto por sexta vez en su carrera.

Fa aterrizó 59 por ciento de sus tiros de la energía (17 de 29) mientras que Latham logró aterrizar solo uno de los cuatro golpes de poder.

Farhood quedó impresionado por la actuación dominante de Fa. "Cada vez que un peso pesado muestra poder, tienes que prestar atención,"Él dijo. "Estoy seguro de que veremos más de él en 2018".

“Espero tener la oportunidad de estar entre los 15 primeros ", dijo Fa., que venció al campeón de peso pesado de la OMB Joseph Parker dos veces en los aficionados. “Esta pelea me dio más confianza en mi habilidad y poder, y creo que la confianza es una gran cosa.”

En la apertura de la transmisión por televisión, 2016 U.S. Favorito olímpico y local Charles Conwell (6-0, 5 KOs) - animado por una enorme tercera ronda en la que anotó dos caídas y otra en la quinta - fue la distancia de seis asaltos por primera vez en su joven carrera terminando un juego Roque “Rocky” Zapata (4-2-3) con una impresionante victoria por decisión unánime anotada 60-51 dos veces y 60-53.

El concurso de peso súper welter estuvo dominado por Conwell, de 20 años de edad, de Cleveland., que usó golpes efectivos al cuerpo para hacer la mayor parte del daño, ya que tuvo en cuenta 80 de su 175 total conecta y 75 de su 150 golpes de poder.

Conwell atrapó al ex luchador de MMA Zapata en el tercer asalto con un fuerte cruce de derecha. Fue la primera vez que Zapata, que entró en la pelea con una racha ganadora de tres peleas, alguna vez había golpeado el suelo en su carrera. Haga clic en AQUÍ ver video de KOs en ronda 3.

 

"Mi plan de juego era lanzar algunos golpes e ir al cuerpo, y creo que logré eso. Mi jab fue clave esta noche. Terminé dejándolo caer tres veces,"Dijo Conwell, quien promedió 77 golpes por ronda, pero se dio a sí mismo solo una B menos. “Me encantaría seguir peleando en televisión. Quiero mostrar mis habilidades ".

 

A left hook by Conwell in the latter stages of the third round dropped Zapata for the second time. Zapata hit the canvas once again in the fifth after a devastating left hook to the body followed by a left hook to the chin. The Culpepper, Will. native stood up at the nine-count and finished the stanza.

 

Zapata was impressed by his opponent’s talent. “I survived, so I’m happy,"Él dijo. “I went the distance with an Olympian and that was the plan. I should’ve done better and cut my angles more instead of standing right in front of him, but I’m proud I went the full distance.”

 

Viernes de quadrupleheader will replay on Lunes, Noviembre. 13 en 10 p.m. Y/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® y SHOWTIME EN CUALQUIER MOMENTO®.

CITAS FINALES:

LUIS ROSA JR.:

“There was a time in my career when I was one fight away from fighting for a world title at 122 libra, but I’m a natural featherweight. This fight is at 126 but I’ll fight at 126 o 122. Wherever the opportunity is, Me lo llevo.

“I’m going to show a lot of different things. I have more to show than just my boxing skills. Whatever I have to do to get the win, I will do it.

“My opponent is a southpaw, but he’s not the slickest southpaw I’ve seen. We’ve been training with a lot of southpaws. Fighting southpaws is not a big deal for me. I fought so many of them in the amateurs.

“I don’t think I’m going to have any problem with him. I know his left hook is his favorite punch so I’m going to try and take that away from him.

“I think putting together some timely combinations is going to be the key to this fight.

“After I beat [Jorge] Diaz and [Luis] Del Valle in 2015 my opposition dropped. I was knocking on the door but just never got the call. That’s why this fight is so big for me. I’m ready to showcase my skills on national TV. I’m ready for the next step on my career.”

YUANDALE EVANS

“I know all the bigger names are at 126 so I’m going to stay right here. I’ve bounced around from 126 a 130. Lou DiBella, my promoter told me to stay ready and that’s what I did; Estoy listo. "

“It took me awhile from me to come back after the loss to Javier Fortuna [en 2012]. But I’ve always stayed sharp and I’ve been in various camps. I’ve trained with guys like Lamont Peterson, Gervonta Davis y Rau'shee Warren.

“I’ve been doing this since I was 10 años, but I’m a lot wiser and smarter than in the past. I have knowledge and have been talking to a lot of managers and champions. I’m like an Einstein now. I’m a lot sharper, and craftier. And I have defense now.

“This fight will show the boxing world that I belong. I can be in the top five. This fight means a lot for me and the people of Cleveland.

“I’ve been working with [famed trainer] Barry Hunter for this fight and he’s taught me so much. My opponent has been spoiled and has never had to travel into enemy territory. Until now.

I’ve been a road warrior my entire career. I know the crowd can win the fight for me. Just the energy and hearing them when I’m tired. It’s a big advantage for me to be fighting at home. I will have a lot of fans here and it’s going to be big. I still got guys’ texting me for ringside seats, but there’s none left.

“I want ShoBox to say, ‘We have to have this guy back. We have to go back to Cleveland.’ ”

"[Rosa] is my height. He’s going to be right in front of me. He’s going to come straight at me. He has to.”

“They call me ‘Money Shot’ and ‘Southpaw Machine’ and the ‘Black Mexican’ in the gyms here in Cleveland.”

JANER GONZALEZ

“I’ve been training with Ruben Guerrero for the past couple of weeks, and I like training a lot better here in the United States. I felt like I was mistreated in the past back in Colombia.

“Fellow Colombian Oscar Escandón introduced me to Ruben and here we are. Es Estados Unidos y todo el mundo quiere estar aquí.. El combate y el entrenamiento son mucho mejores aquí..

"Estoy 30 años ahora y tengo una familia en Colombia para apoyar. Esta es mi oportunidad. No les fallaré. Tengo al Team Guerrero de mi lado, así que estoy listo.

“Todos sabemos que las habilidades pagan las cuentas y yo solo tengo que hacer mi trabajo y no volverme demasiado loco y obtener la victoria.

"Yo vi Muhammad Ali y Sugar Ray Leonard cuando era más joven. Me gustó lo inteligentes e inteligentes que lucharon ".

RADZHAB BUTAEV

"He estado en los Estados Unidos durante un año y me gustó mucho entrenar en Wild Card Gym y Wild Card West en el sur de California..

"Puedo golpear tan fuerte como [Gennady] Golovkin y puede moverse mejor que [Vasyl] Lomachenko. Tengo mucha confianza y mi experiencia es la razón de eso.

"Yo discutió con Demetrius Andrade y Shawn Porter and I have held my own.

“The welterweight division is the best in boxing, everyone knows that. And I’ll fight anybody.

“It doesn’t matter that there’s no YouTube video on Gonzalez. He’s tough and competitive and a boxer who will come to fight.”

JUNIOR FA

“When I beat Joseph Parker [in the amateurs twice] it was my movement and my footwork that was key. He’s such a big puncher I just kept moving because I didn’t want to stand right in front of that.

“I’m a multi-dimensional fighter and my strengths are my mobility.

"Deontay Wilder showed that he has plenty of power. He’s always there from the first bell… I like the guy, he’s got plenty of power and is very explosive.

“I like Anthony Joshua’s boxing brain. He’s got power, but it’s a different kind of power from Wilder. I like the way he sees his punches.

“For myself to be known, I’ll definitely have to fight in America. I don’t think I can make too much of a statement being back home in New Zealand.

“I think I can be three to four fights away for the chance at a world heavyweight title. I have to be entertaining in this fight for the American people to get to know me.

“Boxing used to be the biggest thing in New Zealand, but then rugby blew up.

“I live 40 minutes from Joseph Parker but we’ve never sparred. It’s too competitive.”

FREDDY LATHAM

“This is my first time on national TV so I’m excited and nervous.

“He’s taller, but I feel like I’m just as long as he is. I can put my head in his chest and go to war. If it’s going to be a dog fight I’ll get into his chest.

"Sí, I’ve watched both the heavyweight world champs. I’d beat Joshua now. Wilder, I would have to get serious sparring in. I’d have to change everything I do in my life – the way I train and my lifestyle and everything. Deontay’s the man right now. Joshua burns out after six rounds and that’s why I’d beat Joshua now. I’m two years away from those guys. Mañana night is my first step.

“Boxing’s coming back in Pittsburgh and we’ve got two or three other heavyweights there that are popular right now.”

CHARLES CONWELL

“When you have a good crowd around you, you know it hypes you up.

“I was the youngest member of the 2016 Olympic team at age 18. It was cool being in high school and making the Olympic team.

“I’m very tenacious and determined, that’s why I’ve been successful so far in my young pro career.

“There’s no rush for me. People want to see me, sure. But there’s no reason to move fast at this point.

I think the competitiveness of boxing is what drives me. Sure the money and the fame are going to be great, but I just love everything about this sport.”

ROQUE “ROCKY” ZAPATA

“I haven’t surprised myself when I’ve beaten undefeated fighters.

“I’m an awkward fighter, in a good way. My angles I learned when I was fighting in MMA.

“The risk and the reward wasn’t worth it [to continue] en MMA. I was making a couple hundred bucks and getting elbows to the face. It just wasn’t worth it.

“Conwell is good and aggressive and I’ve seen him on YouTube. He comes forward and he looks to put you down.

“I just feel so much more comfortable in a boxing ring. I was good at takedowns.

"Conor McGregor fue 10 rondas con Floyd [Mayweather] and he got paid, so good for him. I’m one of the few guys who have been able to do both MMA and box professionally.”

YUANDALE EVANS

“I know Rocky is a tough fighter, he’s beat a couple prospects and he’ll be coming to win.

“Should be an entertaining, good fight, I’m ready to go and hopefully close the show early. I’m ready for all six or a first round knockout.

“No pressure fighting at home or on Showtime. After fighting in the Olympics I’m ready for anything.”

WILLIE NELSON

"Ahora mismo, I’m at the rebuilding stage of my career to become a world champion.”

“I know a lot about Alexis Hloros, so no issue being a late addition as an opponent, Estoy listo.

“I haven’t fought in Cleveland since 2009. I love being able to fight at home, means a great deal to me.

BROOKLYN (Noviembre. 5, 2017) – Campeón mundial invicto de peso pesado Deontay Wilder retained his WBC title in his sixth defense with a dominant first-round knockout of mandatory challenger Copa de Oro en el evento principal de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Sábado night on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, la casa de BROOKLYN BOXEO®.
Wilder (39-0, 38 Nocáuts) knocked Stiverne (25-3-1, 21 KOs) to the ground three times before referee Arthur Mercante halted the bout at 2:59 de la primera ronda. After Stiverne took Wilder the distance in their January 2015 pelea por el título, Wilder has now knocked out every single opponent that he has faced in his career. Watch Wilder knocking out Stiverne AQUÍ.
“So much frustration, it just seemed like my career, it’s been crazy. So many guys using PED’s”, Said Wilder, the only American heavyweight world champion. “I just want to prove that I am the best. I know I am the best but I want to prove I am the best.”
Wilder first knocked Stiverne to the ground with a devastating one-two combination that caught the Haitian challenger on the nose. Seconds after Stiverne got back to his feet, Wilder landed another clean combination with a big left and an overhand right that sent a stunned Stiverne back to the canvas. The final blow came in the waning moments of the opening round as Wilder landed four clean punches to the face of a wobbly Stiverne.
“You have to give props to Stiverne for getting in the ring,” Said Wilder. “It takes a lot of courage and it takes a lot of pride to step in the ring with someone like me. We do what we have to do in the ring and at least he stepped up. He was a clean fighter.”
After the brutal knockout, an emotional Wilder was asked by SHOWTIME Sports®reporter Jim Gray about a possible fight with unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
“I’ve been waiting on that fight for a long time now,” Said Wilder. “I declare war upon you. Do you accept my challenge? I’ve been waiting for a long time. I know I’m the champion. I know I’m the best. Are you up for the test?
“A king doesn’t chase the peasants. A king takes kings. I want Joshua. If he doesn’t give me the fight we have other plans. The world wants Joshua, the world wants Wilder, I want Joshua. Joshua come and see me baby. No more dodging, no more excuses. Make the date, don’t wait.”
Former welterweight world champion Shawn Porter (28-2-1, 17 KOs) derrotado Adrian Granados (18-6-2, 11 KOs) por decisión unánime (anotado 117-111 por los tres jueces) in an exciting fight between two all-action competitors that served as the co-featured event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. The victory makes Porter the mandatory title challenger for unified welterweight champion Keith Thurman’s WBC belt.
Desgaste, who injured his left hand in the sixth round, landed the sharper and more accurate punches throughout the fight, Incluyendo 40 por ciento de sus golpes de poder. Both fighters came out aggressive in the early rounds and exchanged several powerful blows.
“He gave me a little trouble here and there,” dijo Porter. “I hurt my left hand in the sixth round, but I kept using it. I had to use my jab. It took a toll on me and by the 10th round I just couldn’t throw it anymore.
“The strategy was to keep working the jab. I knew he’d come at me periodically. I was prepared and dug deep to get the win.”
Granados, of Cicero, Ill., fought valiantly and withstood multiple barrages from the powerful Porter and countered with several quick combinations of his own. Granados, who landed just 24 por ciento de su total de ponches, disagreed with the judges’ scorecard.
“I thought that I was controlling the fight and keeping up with him the whole time,” Granados told Jim Gray. “He was just trying to use his normal tricks. I rocked him multiple times and he never had me in any trouble.
“He’s a brute. I thought the referee [Gary Rosato] did a good job breaking up the fight at the right times. It was rough but I definitely thought I did better than the scorecards said.”
En la primera pelea de la transmisión por televisión, unbeaten top contender Sergey Lipinets (13-0, 10 KOs) earned the vacant IBF Junior Welterweight World Championship with a unanimous decision victory over Japanese veteran Akihiro Kondo (29-7-1, 16 KOs). The judges scored the fight118-110, 117-111 y 117-111.
The back-and-forth 12-round world championship fight saw Lipinets control the early rounds with a diversified, creative attack targeting Kondo’s body. An accidental clash of heads in the sixth round, which opened up a deep cut on the forehead of Lipinets, altered the momentum of the fight as Kondo gained confidence and was able to land some powerful punches to the head and body of Lipinets. The 28-year old Lipinets, who earned the title in just his 13º professional fight, was able to regain control in the later rounds to earn the unanimous win.
“I think the scorecards were accurate but it was a good fight,” Said Lipinets. “The head-butt really impaired my vision and it led to me walking into some stupid shots.
“Estoy contento con mi actuación. I’m just going to keep getting better from here. I’m ready to take any on challenge thrown my way.”
Kondo, who was fighting for the first time in the United States, proved a worthy opponent on the night. “It was a fair decision,” said Kondo, through a translater. “He hit me with a lot of hard punches and I felt like I needed at least a knockdown in the last round.
“I made up my mind that I wasn’t going to show any pain or fear from his punches. I was determined to keep fighting all night.”
Sábado de transmisión se volverá a reproducir en, Domingo, Noviembre 5 en 9 a.m. ET/PT and Lunes, Noviembre 6 en 10 p.m. Y/PT por SHOWTIME EXTREME y estará disponible por SHOWTIME ON DEMAND® y SHOWTIME EN CUALQUIER MOMENTO®.
