Maurice Hooker Scores Split-Decision Upset Victory Over Terry Flanagan For WBO 140-Pound World Championship Belt
LOS ANGELES (Juni 9, 2018) – Former Unified Heavyweight World Champion Tyson Fury scored a fourth-round TKO over Sefer Seferi at Manchester Arena in Manchester, Engeland, on Saturday in a bout that was streamed live to U.S. audiences via SHOWTIME Sports social media platforms.
The 6-foot-9, 275-plus pound Fury, who outweighed Seferi by more than 65 pounds following Friday’s weigh-in, looked rusty in the scheduled 10-rounder, his first bout in more than 31 maanden. Seferi sat on his stool after four completed rounds and did not answer the bell for round five.
Woede (26-0, 19 KO) playfully bounced around for the first few rounds, and was even warned for a lack of activity in the second round against a severely undermanned Seferi (23-2, 21 KO). Fury is likely to face a tougher opponent in his next fight set for September in a division currently ruled by world title holders Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.
Fury’s return to the ring came after 924 days of inactivity due to bouts of depression and admitted drug use following an upset victory over Wladimir Klitschko to take Klitschko’s WBA, IBF and WBO world titles.
In a fight that preceded Fury-Seferi, undefeated American Maurice Hooker won a split-decision upset victory over hometown favorite Terry Flanagan to capture the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight World Championship belt. De scores waren 117-111, 115-113 for Hooker, en 117-111 for Flanagan.
With blood streaming down his face, the former lightweight title holder Flanagan (33-1, 13 KO), who suffered a deep cut on the forehead after an accidental head butt in the seventh round, couldn’t overcome the aggressive Hooker (24-0-3, 16 KO), who just like training partner Errol Spence Jr., had to travel overseas to win his first world title.
Hooker, a 28-years-old Dallas native, was fighting for the first time outside of the United States against Flanagan, who was a 135-pound champion for three years with five defenses before moving up to the 140-pound class.
Met de overwinning, Hooker became the 76th ShoBox: The New Generation alum to win a world title, joining the likes of Spence and Wilder.
Boxing broadcaster Ray Flores and analyst Chris Mannix delivered pre and post-fight analysis from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles for the SHOWTIME Sports audience.
Later on Saturday night, WBA Super Featherweight World Champion Leo Santa Cruz will rematch former three-division world champion Abner Mares op Showtime Championship Boxing® (10 p.m. ET/PT delayed on the West Coast) from Staples Center in Los Angeles. In de uitzending opener, Houston’s Jermell Charlo will defend his WBC Super Welterweight World Title against former world champion Austin Trout.
Mike Lee breekt Rib in de eerste ronde en ondanks dat hij niet kan ademen, verslaat Jose Hernandez en claimt de NABO Light Heavyweight-titel
 |
Chicago, Illinois (Juni 9, 2018) -WBO nummer-3 gerangschikt licht zwaargewicht mededinger Mike Lee brak zijn rib in de eerste ronde, maar claimde nog steeds de NABO Light Heavyweight-titel met een unaniem besluit van 10 ronden over Jose Hernandez in de Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.
Lee drukte op de actie terwijl hij vroeg om power shots te landen. Hernandez vocht dapper, maar Lee was consistent met zijn rechter- en linkerhand.
Lee toonde een ongelooflijk hart, zoals in de eerste ronde, hij liep een gebroken rib op en had moeite met ademhalen gedurende het hele gevecht van tien ronden.
Hernandez was afgesneden van Lee's werk, en de afgestudeerde van de Notre Dame reed naar huis met de overwinning met tientallen 97-93 op de kaarten van alle juryleden.
Met de overwinning, Lee blijft perfect met een record van 21-0, en zal nu proberen om het op te nemen tegen een van de wereldkampioenen in de divisies licht zwaargewicht of super middengewicht.
“Ik kwam eruit omdat ik knock-out wilde,” zei Lee. “Ik waardeer Jose, hij was taai. Ik werd vroeg een beetje opgewonden, en ik was een beetje slordig. In het begin, Ik gooide gewoon power shots, Ik was niet aan het dubbel prikken en gebruikte mijn atletische vaardigheden. Elk gevecht is een leerzame les, en vanavond moest ik bijten en de overwinning pakken.”
Met de overwinning, Lee zal nu proberen om alle kampioenen en grote namen in en rond zijn gewichtsklasse uit te dagen.
“Laten we gaan. Ik wil een kans op de wereldtitel. Of het nu is 168 pond of 175 pond, Ik wacht gewoon op een telefoontje. We wilden Julio Cesar Chavez bevechten, Jr., maar ik weet niet wat daarmee is gebeurd. Ik wil gewoon iemand met de riem.”
Keyshawn Davis is duwen zijn weg naar de top Norfolk, Wil. inheemse is 2020 Olympische hoopvol voor Team USA
|
COLORADO SPRINGS, Ronde. (Juni 8, 2018) Het overwinnen van tegenspoed is iets wat veel mensen omgaan met hun hele leven, en het maakt die persoon wie ze zijn. Voor Keyshawn Davis, hij is het overwinnen van tegenspoed vanaf het begin, en hij is nu op weg naar de top van de bokswereld.
Davis begon boksen toen hij slechts negen jaar oud was, nadat zijn moeder hem en twee van zijn broers naar de sportschool. Ze waren constant met elkaar vechten en vechten op school. After about an hour of watching two kids around his age spar his mother asked if they wanted to sign up. The next day Keyshawn and his two brothers were in the gym training.
Sindsdien, Davis has won numerous titles and is now on his first elite high-performance squad following his win at the 2017 USA Boxing Nationale Kampioenschappen. Following that win, he has made Colorado Springs, Ronde. a second home, as he spends a great deal of his time training at the United States Olympic Training Center.
Training for his first year at the elite level began with one of the largest multi-nation training camps USA Boxing has ever hosted. Davis got the opportunity to spar with not only his American teammates, but boxers from Great Britain, New Zealand and Poland. The preparation led to one of his proudest moments of his young career, his first elite international tournament and title at the Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria.
“It was a very different experience, being that it was my first time out of the country,” stated Davis. “I really had to get used to the different environment, especially the time difference, as it threw off my sleep schedule at first.”
Echter, he did not let anything distract him from reaching the top of the podium.
“The feeling was just so unreal,” said Davis about his gold medal performance in Bulgaria. “I told myself that this is just one gold and I need to be standing here after every tournament. It was just a great feeling.”
Shortly after his winning performance in Bulgaria, Davis was back in the ring representing Team USA on the USA vs. IRL Noordoost-bokstour. Alleen gevechten in één van de drie stops van de tour, Davis maakte elke minuut van het tellen, zoals hij trok een andere indrukwekkende overwinning in de voorkant van een groot aantal Amerikaanse fans.
Echter, voor het succes kwam strijd.
“Ik ben een jongen uit Norfolk, Wil. die begon met niets; Alleen mijn moeder en haar vijf kinderen,” stated Davis.
“Naarmate het leven ging verder, Ik bleef steeds beter in de ring, maar buiten de ring was verschrikkelijk, van woede problemen te krijgen naar een psychiatrische inrichting,” voortgezette Davis. “Ik heb nooit gedacht dat ik zou in de positie ben ik vandaag, dus ik dank God dat hij mij gezegend met al mijn supporters; van mijn zussen, Shanice en Shantel Davis, ook mijn broers, Keon en Kelvin Davis, en natuurlijk mijn moeder, Wanda Davis. Zonder hen zou ik hier vandaag. Ik ben een wandelende wonder en ik wil gewoon de wereld laten zien wat Keyshawn Davis werkelijk kan doen laten zien.”
Helpen Keyshawn voorbij zijn strijd heeft zijn coach die er al vanaf het begin is geweest, met Korma, evenals 2016 Olympisch zilveren medaillewinnaar Shakur Stevenson. “Vorig jaar toen ik in de psychiatrische inrichting werd gezet, ze waren beiden daar me pushen om weer op de rails,” Davis verklaarde. “Ze hebben nooit gaf op mij of twijfelde me. Ze wist altijd wat ik in staat was, ook al was ik in een slechte plek.”
Een andere bron van motivatie en hulp kwam van een andere teamgenoot, Troy Isley, die daar is geweest aan zijn zijde om naar Keyshawn eerste jaar ervaring als een elite met hem.
“Troy heeft een enorme hulp voor mij tijdens mijn eerste jaar op de elite high-performance squad,” genoemde Davis. “Hij heeft me verteld welk voedsel ik nodig zou kunnen hebben op een reis om me te helpen handhaven gewicht.”
Toen Davis ging naar Bulgarije voor zijn eerste internationale toernooi, Troy was er wat neerkomt op Team USA met hem. “Hij vertelde me hoe hij zich voelde zijn eerste keer internationaal vechten, en ik nam al zijn informatie en gebruikte het om mijn voordeel.”
Nu het doel is om door te gaan trainen en succesvol op internationaal niveau. Hij heeft de hoop van het worden een Olympisch Kampioen in 2020 en de mogelijkheid om terug te geven aan zijn familie.
“Mijn grootste motivatie is gewoon om mijn familie een beter leven te geven.”
Met één goud onder zijn riem, Davis gaat op zoek naar zijn tweede internationale titel bij de 2018 Chemie Cup later deze maand. U kunt doorgaan met zijn reis naar de te volgen 2020 Olympische Spelen in Tokyo via social media via Instagram (@ keyshawndavis1) of Snapchat (@ Key4999). |

We discuss Dana White’s tirade against fighters who don’t take the fights the company wants them to, and we blast Canelo Alvarez and his team for destroying all chances of another fight with GGG. We take a good chunk of the show to outline and analyze all the various boxing matches taking place this Saturday, from Tyson Fury’s return to the ring against Sefer Seferi to the battle of pound for pound best and undefeated welterweights Jeremy Horn and Terrence Crawford fighting on ESPN+ (which we criticize heavily).

Leo Santa Cruz vs. Abner Mares 2 & Jermell Charlo vs. Austin Trout Final Press Conference Quotes & Foto's
|
|
LOS ANGELES (Juni 7, 2018) – Featherweight world champion Leo Santa Cruz and four-time world champion Abner Mares went face-to-face at the final press conference Thursday, two days before they enter the ring for their highly-anticipated rematch this Saturday, Juni 9 from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
Also squaring-off at the final press conference were super welterweight world champion Jermell Charlo en voormalig wereldkampioen Austin Trout, who step into the ring on the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins at 10 p.m. ET / PT (delayed in the West Coast).
Tickets voor de live-evenement, die wordt bevorderd door Ringstar Sport en TGB Promotions, begin at $50, plus van toepassing zijnde vergoedingen, en zijn nu te koop. To purchase tickets visit AXS.com or click HIER.
Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from the Chick Hearn Press Room at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
“The first fight was a really good one, but I think this one will be even better. Mares is a great fighter with a great trainer in Robert Garcia, and that’s the kind of challenge I want. We both want to give the fans great fights.
“I’ve learned a lot from my last few fights. I’m not coming in here worried about losing, I just worry about giving the fans a great show. If Mares is better than me that night, then he will win. But I’ve worked too hard and I’m going to be at my peak on Saturday night.
“I think that Mares has gotten a lot better. Robert Garcia is a trainer who has brought him up to a different level. He’s made a lot of improvements. I learned from the Frampton fights and my dad is a good trainer too. It’s even all the way around and it’s going to be a great fight.
“I think the winner of this fight will be number one in this division. Gary Russell Jr. is a great fighter and I definitely want a rematch of our amateur fight. But me and Abner put a lot of pressure on our opponents and I don’t think Gary would like the pressure from either of us.
“My team motivates me every day in the gym. They’re right next to me running every day towards the same goal. That’s what I love about training camp because it makes me work even harder.”
Abner Mares
“I could stand up here and tell you what I’m going to do Saturday, but you’ve seen the first fight. You know how exciting the first fight was. I have even more to prove and I’m going to leave it all on the line this time.
“This is going to be an exciting fight. I know Leo has matured as an athlete and fighter by fighting Frampton twice. But if you look at my last couple of performances, they speak for themselves. I think both of us are seasoned and better fighters right now.
“There’s no doubt that the winner of this fight is number one in this division. There’s some great fighters at featherweight, but we’re fighting for the top spot in this division.
“Our focus isn’t on looking for a stoppage. That was my mistake the first fight. I tried to destroy him. I’m going to follow instructions and show I’m the better fighter in there.
“If I win Saturday night, and the fight is just as exciting as the first one, I’m ready for a trilogy. Laten we het gebeuren.
“I’m going to fight my heart out and win this fight this time. Moge de beste winnen. We’re going to give the fans what they want to see. I’m calling this ‘Fight of the Year’ guaranteed.”
Jermell Charlo
“My brother and I have been doing this a long time. Austin Trout has done it a long time as well. I’m hoping everyone gets there early, because I’m bringing excitement to the table right from the start.
“Some critics say that me and my brother haven’t fought the people required to be on the pound-for-pound list. My race to the top continues Saturday night to prove all those people wrong.
“A knockout is possible. If he wants that to be the way it goes, then I’m capable. Derrick and I have a great plan that we’re ready to use. None of our experience in the past matters, we’re both 0-0. Anything can happen on Saturday night.
“I look to do what my brother did against Trout, but way better. If that’s with a knockout or just picking him apart, Ik ben klaar. I’m fighting for a lot more than just a win on Saturday. We’re going to keep shining and do what we have to do.
“We want everyone to know that my brother and I come from the trenches. We made it this far, so we’re not stopping now. Nobody is standing in my way. I know Trout wants a belt, but this is the wrong belt to go after.
“I have to deal with Austin Trout. Jarrett Hurd is not my focus right now. I definitely want to unify titles soon and I hope he comes out ringside on Saturday night so I can look at him after this fight. Everyone knows what time it is.”
AUSTIN TROUT
“I’m very excited to be here and have another once in a lifetime opportunity. I believe this is destiny. I’m coming into the lion’s den and I’m going to come out unscathed.
“As great as my win against Miguel Cotto was, I don’t think it compares to this fight here. People complained about Cotto being old after I beat him, but with Jermell, there’s no excuse you can make up. He’s an undefeated world champion, so if I get the win, this is definitely bigger than Cotto.
“I don’t think he’s overlooking me because I bet his brother told him not to sleep on Trout. Everyone’s going to see what I’ve been saying on Saturday night.
“My training camp with Barry Hunter was fantastic. We got all the work in that I needed and Barry is someone who always pushes me to be better than I believe I’m capable of.
“I learned from my mistakes when I fought the bigger brother. I’m going to be even better on
Saturday and it’s going to be a totally different result.
“For everyone sleeping on me, you better wake up. It’s going to be an awakening on Saturday night.”
JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz vader & Trainer
“Now all there is left to do is wait for fight night. The work up to this point has been done and it has been done well. We are ready to do what needs to be done when the time comes.
“Usually at this point ahead of a fight the biggest feat is to make weight but he had no problem there. Leo was on target weight about a month ago so it’s not something we’re worried about at this point. He’s eating good and maintaining weight well and feeling really strong for this fight.
“Leo is in incredible shape and I am confident he will win on Saturday. I’m sure Abner and his team are going to bring their best and we’re bringing our best too, but on fight night there will only be two who will clash. We’re ready for war.”
ROBERT GARCIA, Moeders’ Trainer
“Just the fact that Abner is in my training camp and we communicate so well, it’s given me a lot of confidence. Everyone has done a great job doing their part in camp and I believe we’ve worked on all the tools we need to defeat Leo Santa Cruz.
“Leo is a great fighter but Abner knows he can win this fight. The confidence he’s gained, and how much more seasoned Abner looks since joining my camp, should translate to a strong performance Saturday.
“This has been a really smooth training camp and that’s exactly what Abner needed. We’re primed for a big victory.”
DERRICK JAMES, Charlo's Trainer
“I think that Jermell has shown a great level of maturity while also being an aggressive fighter. He’s also very positive about what he wants to do every day in camp, and in the ring on Saturday.
“Being able to spar with Errol Spence Jr. every day in camp has definitely helped Jermell. They say it all the time, but iron sharpens iron and that’s the mentality we have to help both guys improve and get to where we know they can get to.
“Austin is a crafty fighter who has a lot of experience and a lot of tools. The most important thing though is that we’re focused on getting Jermell to be the best version of himself on Saturday night.”
RICHARD SCHAEFER, Voorzitter & CEO van Ringstar Sports
“Finally the wait is over. We waited three years for this rematch. Everyone asked me when this fight was going to happen. Now there’s just two days to go.
“You know it’s a big fight when you have the fight here at the premier venue in Los Angeles, Staples Center. These fighters here deserve it, because they are the best fighters in the sport, regardless of division. They’re going to show everyone on Saturday night why we love boxing so much.
“Each of these fights could have been a main event in its own right. I’m glad that these fighters were okay all being together on an event that really elevates the sport of boxing.
“Jermell Charlo is a once-in-a-generation talent in this sport. He has all the skills you need, but also has that one thing that makes you a superstar. He has charisma, and you cannot learn that. Echter, anyone who is doubting Austin Trout, is making a big mistake. I have no doubt that he’ll be more than ready for this challenge.
“I’ve been fortunate to follow these main event fighters from their first fight, helemaal tot nu, with them being multiple time world champions and fantastic men outside of the ring. Leo and Abner live the kind of lives that make this sport proud. But on Saturday night, may the best man win.
“SHOWTIME delivers week after week of the best fighting the best. This fight is no different and will be another treat for the fans watching on SHOWTIME who have come to expect these great matchups.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & Events Programming, Showtime Network Inc.
“These four guys up here have been on SHOWTIME a combined 41 tijden. That’s a lot and it doesn’t happen by accident. The reason it happens is because these fighters embody everything we want SHOWTIME Boxing to be about. They have some of the strongest resumes in the sport. None of these guys have ever shied away from taking a tough fight. They don’t come with excuses, they want the best and biggest fights. We’ ae proud to have all four of them on SHOWTIME.
“Right now we have a matchup between two of the biggest stars and faces of Southern California boxing. The featherweight division has seen top five fighters on SHOWTIME already this year-This is a rematch between two more of the top 5. In the first fight, they threw a combined 2,000 stoten, which I would bet will be matched again on Saturday.
“Austin Trout has been in there with the biggest and best stars in the sport of boxing. But Jermell has quite a bit of momentum. He has four consecutive stoppages, which is very impressive at the championship level. As everyone has said this is another main event quality matchup and I look forward to seeing it on Saturday night.”

Here’s what Flanagan and Hooker had to say on Thursday:
Terry Flanagan
“I’m more than ready. I’ve prepared well, and I’m expecting a good night.”
“Of course he believes in himself, like the last few Americans that have come over. He’s just another American I’m going to add to the list.”
“I’m confident. I’m stronger and I’m bigger, fitter.”
“I’m more than ready. I know what he’s going to bring, and I’m prepared for the best Maurice Hooker. … I think I need to step up now and show people what I’m about.”
(On moving up a weight class) “It’s five pounds, it’s nothing. I’m plenty big enough to move up again. I’m 5-foot-10. I’m big, Ik ben sterk, I’m ready for this weight. This is my natural weight. … I’ll get a title at this weight and then see what happens from there.”
“There’s nothing he can do now or that I can do now to change how the fight is going to go. It’s all about getting in there and being 100 percent switched on ready, and we’re going to have a fight Saturday night.”
Maurice Hooker
“I love being the underdog – I’ve been the underdog my whole life, and look where I’m at now. I’m ready to fight Saturday, and Terry’s ready to fight. I’m going to punch him in the mouth, and I hope he punches me back – if not, he’s in trouble.”
“We’re going to put on a good show come Saturday night. He’s in good shape, and I’m in good shape. We kunnen gaan 12 rounds real hard, or it might be an early night for Terry.”
“I’m back now and better than ever. I’m ready to show the whole world who I am. Before that fight with Darleys Perez, everybody was scared to fight me. I’m still that monster, I’m still that dog. Come Saturday night, I’m going to punch him in the mouth and I might knock him out in the first round.”
“Come Saturday night, I pray for him, because I mean business when I get in that ring.”
“It’s my best against his best. We’ve got a fight Saturday night, so don’t blink.”
