Brooklyn’s Serrano will face Yamila Esther Reynoso for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight World Championship. If successful, Serrano will set a women’s boxing record as a six-division world champion, joining Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya as the only boxers, male or female, to reach the mark.
SHOWTIME Sports will live-stream Serrano vs. Reynoso as part of undercard coverage on the network’s social media platforms. SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN begins live at 7 p.m. ET p.m / 4. PT on the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page. The live stream precedes a three-fight SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast (9 p.m. ET p.m / 6. PT, ההצגה מתחילה) headlined by Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter for the welterweight world championship.
SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN, the network’s seventh social media offering of live boxing in 2018, is available to all domestic users with internet access. The livestream is hosted by Ray Flores with Chris Mannix serving as analyst.
סראנו (34-1-1, 26 קוס), who is already the only woman to win titles in five weight classes, is looking to best her personal record. יליד קרולינה, Puerto Rico and representing her hometown of Brooklyn, Serrano has won titles from 118 ל 135 קילו, earning her the No. 2 ranking on the BWAA’s inaugural women’s pound-for-pound list. The 29-year-old is also the only Puerto Rican – male or female – to capture world titles in five different weight classes and will look to build on that record against Reynoso. She fights for the fifth time in her career at Barclays Center on September 8 with a chance to once again make history again in front of the passionate fan base of Puerto Rican boxing fans in New York.
“I’m super excited to be fighting for a world title in my sixth weight class,” סעיד סראנו. “My opponent is really a welterweight, having defended her Argentinean 147-pound title by knockout in her last fight, and is dropping down one division to face me. I am coming up four divisions for this shot. I’m sure Reynoso will rehydrate back up to her natural weight after the weigh-in, but this is a risk worth taking. She’s never been stopped either, so I know she’s durable. This is a tremendous card to be a part of with Garcia vs. Porter as the main event. האמרגן שלי, לו DiBella, has big things lined up for me, and I am eager to take on all challenges.”
Reynoso (11-4-3, 8 קוס), בואנוס איירס, ארגנטינה, has challenged for world titles at 140 ליש"ט ו 154 קילו. The 22-year-old has most recently campaigned at welterweight, where she held the Argentina 147-pound title, and will be moving back down in weight for her third shot at a world title. Reynoso, who will make her U.S. debut on September 8, has recorded all eight of her knockouts inside of five rounds.
“I’m very happy to be training for such a great opportunity for this WBO world title against a terrific champion in Amanda Serrano,” said Reynoso. “I am coming ready to give Serrano a real fight, and I look forward to capturing the title belt.”
“Amanda Serrano is one of the best pound-for-pound female boxers and one of the best boxers in the world, תקופה,” אמר לו DiBella, נשיא DiBella בידור. “She is also now a two-sport athlete, embarking on her MMA career earlier this year. בזירת האגרוף, Serrano is a record-breaker, becoming the only female boxer to win world titles in five weight classes, and on September 8, she will attempt to break her own record, vying for a sixth division championship. I’m thrilled that the world will get to see Serrano make history once again with the bout being a part of the SHOWTIME live stream online.”

MONTOYA STEPS UP TO FACE SANDERS ON SEPTEMBER 8 בבנגור
בנגור, מיין (נִשׂגָב 8, 2018) - קרבות ניו אינגלנד (NEF) will hold its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” ב ספטמבר 8 במרכז לביטוח צולב בבנגור. מוקדם יותר היום, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional welterweight bout to the card. “The” ריאן סנדרס (16-9) יעמוד בפני Armando “Big Chino” Montoya (10-6) במשקל של 170-קרב ליש"ט.
The bout will be the third for Sanders in front of his hometown friends, family and fans. He is undefeated in the Queen City, where Sanders trains at Young’s MMA. He scored a decision over Derrick Kennington (13-11) two years ago at “NEF Presents דנה לבנה: Lookin’ for a Fight” and a submission of Jay Ellis (15-78) last year at the Cross. בסך הכל, Sanders is on a roll, having won six of his last seven. During that stretch, he captured the NEF Professional Lightweight Title, knocked out veteran John Ortolani (8-13) in a mere 15-seconds, and literally tore Vince McGuiness’ (5-8) arm out of its socket earlier this summer at “NEF 34” בפורטלנד, מיין.
Unfortunately for Sanders, his meteoric rise to the top of New England’s 155-pound division over the course of the last two years has come with consequences. He has called out virtually every other top lightweight prospect in the region in recent months with the sound of crickets as the only response. It is a testament to both Sanders’ skill and the respect, (or fear for that matter), that his peers hold for him. Hence Sanders’ move to the heavier welterweight division to find opponents willing to step in the cage across from him.
“I am excited that I get another chance to fight in my backyard,” said Sanders. “I appreciate Montoya for taking this fight because not many men are willing to fight me regionally. I look forward to displaying my ever evolving tool set come ספטמבר 8 and getting another step closer to being the best in the world. It’ll be a great night for Young’s MMA and myself.”
Armando Montoya is a longtime veteran of the MMA cage. He started his professional career back in 2009 on the West Coast and has competed extensively throughout the Southwest over the years. Montoya has fought for national promotions like King of the Cage and the Resurrection Fighting Alliance. לאחרונה, Montoya relocated to Maine where he trains with First Class MMA in Brunswick. The bout with Sanders will be his first fight back from a layoff that began in early 2017.
“I’m excited to be fighting again after a year and a half off,” said Montoya. “Thanks to NEF and Maine for the opportunity to be able to fight for an awesome promotion. Thanks to Sanders. It’s exciting to fight a worthy opponent in September. God is good, God bless us all!”
האירוע הבא מעורב אמנויות לחימה של NEF, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” will see the company make its return to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, מיין. The event is scheduled to take place יום שבת, ספטמבר 8, 2018 עם שעת פעמון של 7 pm. כרטיסים במכירה כעת ב www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.
