SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, Live on CBS From Barclays Center In Brooklyn
ЊУЈОРК (Февруари. 15, 2017) – Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Томи Hearns. Felix Trinidad vs. Оскар де ла Хоја. Флојд Mayweather наспроти. Мани Pacquiao.
That is the elite company welterweight champions Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman will join when they meet in just the 10таunification in division history on Сабота, Март 4 on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS, presented by Premier Boxing Champions, од Баркли центар, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™, live on CBS from 9-11 вечер. И/6-8 вечер. Португалија.
Гарсија, the WBC titleholder, and Thurman, the WBA champion, will unify the exact same titles that Leonard (Земјите од Западен Балкан) and Hearns (ВБА) unified in their 1981 Борба на годината.
And while Hearns was undefeated and Leonard entered with one loss, Гарсија (33-0, 19 КО) and Thurman (27-0, 22 КО) will meet in just the third unification between непоразен welterweights in boxing history, на Првиот since Trinidad vs. De La Hoya in 1999, a bout billed as “The Fight of the Millennium.”
Гарсија наспроти. Thurman will be broadcast in Primetime on CBS, the first unification on network television in any division in over two decades (Забелешка: Terry Norris vs. Paul Vaden at 154-pounds on Dec. 16, 1995 на Фокс). It’s also just the second primetime boxing presentation on the CBS Television Network in nearly 40 години.
While Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman are joining a who’s who of legendary 147-pounders, their showdown also presents current implications in boxing’s glamour division. With the retirement of pound-for-pound kingpin Floyd Mayweather, Garcia and Thurman, both just 28 години, meet with a chance to become the new face of the stacked 147-pound division, and perhaps earn a spot on the mythical pound-for-pound list.
Повеќе од 80 percent of the total punches landed by Garcia are power shots, putting his high-octane power punch output nearly 10 percent higher than the welterweight average.
Keith Thurman ranks No. 4 amongst all current boxers in percentage of power punches landed, connecting at 48.2 percent according to Compubox. That’s more than 10 percent better than the welterweight average.
Both fighters are young, hungry and undefeated. Their bout on Март 4 is the quintessential career-defining fight. It is a chance for both to add to their growing legacy and potentially, ultimately, be forever linked with every boxing great in the coveted International Boxing Hall of Fame.
