ЊУЈОРК (Јун 1, 2017) - Данас, Сховтиме Спорт® announced a blockbuster matchup between two of boxing’s biggest stars as three-division world champion Mikey Garcia moves up in weight to 140 pounds to face four-division champion Adrien “The Problem” Broner in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®, Субота, Јул 29, ливе он СХОВТИМЕ. Adrien Broner vs. Mikey Garcia is presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
In yet another significant main event matchup on SHOWTIME, these world-class fighters will meet at a critical time in their respective careers. A three-division world champion at the age of 23, and one of the youngest four-division world champions in boxing history, the flamboyant Broner remains one of the most accomplished and popular athletes – and perhaps the most polarizing – in the sport today. Among the top 140-pounders in the world, Broner is undefeated at or below 140 pounds with his only two losses coming against welterweight world champions Marcos Maidana and Shawn Porter. An experienced fighter at just 27 година стар, Бронер (33-2, 24 КОс) still believes he is the future of the sport and promises to prove it against Garcia on July 29.
Микеи Гарсија, 29 years old and undefeated (36-0, 30 КОс), is a recently crowned lightweight champion on a self-appointed journey to become a household name in the sport of boxing. Garcia will move up in weight for the second time in just three fights to challenge Broner. Garcia represents a boxing family developing legendary status in the modern era of the sport. He is renowned for his sportsmanship and his commanding presence in the ring, honed by his brother and acclaimed trainer Robert Garcia. Mikey has held world titles at 126, 130 и 135 фунти, but has never fought north of 138.
Субота, Јул 29 ће бити 19тх live boxing event on SHOWTIME this year. The main event bout will be a WBC 12-round special attraction.
“SHOWTIME Sports continues to deliver the most anticipated matchups, the most important events and the most thrilling fights in boxing,", Рекао је Стивен Еспиноза, Извршни потпредседник и генерални директор, Сховтиме Спорт. “We consistently feature top-rated champions and challengers. The best are fighting the best and the results have been spectacular. Adrien Broner vs. Mikey Garcia is a fight that fight fans have dreamed of—an undefeated, young star facing one of the best 140-pound fighters in the sport, both men in the prime of their respective careers. Јул 29 promises to be a memorable night in a year already full of memorable boxing events.”
Бронер, од Цинциннати, Охајо, has achieved more in his young career than most fighters can hope for in a lifetime. After earning world titles at 130, 135 и 147 фунти, Broner won a belt in a fourth weight division – 140 pounds – in October 2015 when he defeated Khabib Allakhverdiev via 12тх round stoppage to become the second youngest four-division champion in boxing history at 26 (behind Oscar De La Hoya, 24). Као аматер, Broner compiled a record of 300 победи, 19 losses under the guidance of his trainer Mike Stafford, who has remained in Broner’s corner throughout his entire career. Broner will turn 28 years old on Јул 28, the day before his bout with Garcia.
Once considered one of the top young pound-for-pound boxers in the world, Микеи Гарсија, of Moreno Valley by way of Oxnard, Цалиф., returned to the ring after a two-and-half-year layoff in July 2016 without missing a beat. He scored a dominant fifth-round stoppage over former world champion Elio Rojas in his first fight back. Онда, Garcia became a three-division champion by beating previously undefeated lightweight world champion Dejan Zlaticanin with a vicious third-round knockout last January. Garcia has stopped 19 од његова последња 21 opponents including Roman “Rocky” Martinez, Хуан Мануел Лопез, Orlando Salido and Bernabe Concepcion.
