STEP, TX. (Chwefror 17, 2018) – Pencampwyr y byd cyn Victor Ortiz (32-6-3, 25 Kos) ac Dyfnaint Alexander (27-4-1, 14 Kos) fought to majority draw in the exciting main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes Dydd Sadwrn night from Don Haskins Center on the UTEP campus in El Paso, Texas.
Both fighters believed they had done enough over the 12 rounds to earn the decision.
I absolutely thought I won the fight,” meddai Alexander. “The last few rounds I probably gave him, but I thought I out landed him in the 12th. I thought I did enough to win. I gave him three rounds.
I thought the decision was a little off and I thought I did enough to win,” meddai'r Ortiz. “The first few rounds were a little complicated. He’s a great boxer and he was timing me just right. I wasn’t leaving the line of fire.
The fight turned out to be a back-and-forth affair, with Alexander dominating much of the early action. Alexander frequently caught Ortiz charging in with right hands and combinations. The attacks opened up swelling in Victor’s left eye beginning in round three.
The eye was tough to overcome,” meddai'r Ortiz. “I can’t really see out of it. I really had to listen to my corner. I tried to stay composed as I could, but he’s a really good fighter.
My game plan was to be smart,” meddai Alexander. “Victor always has problems with people that are faster and have more ring IQ. I wanted to put him in the state of mind that he can’t win.
Alexander won five of the first six rounds on two judgesscorecards and all six on the other’s. Ortiz began to have more success in the second half as Alexander’s output slowed slightly and Ortiz remained persistent charging forward. This effort allowed him to win five of the final six rounds on two judgescards and all six of the final frames on the third judge’s card.
Ar ôl 12 rowndiau, the judges scored the bout 115-113 for Ortiz and 114-114 ddwywaith, resulting in the majority draw. Ar ôl yr ornest, both former champions expressed interest in a possible rematch.
I would love a rematch,” meddai Alexander. “That’s up to my team to see what’s next, but I’ll fight anybody. I’m a real fighter.
A rematch would be awesome,” meddai'r Ortiz. “If both teams agree and the fans want it, let’s make it happen.
The co-main event of the telecast saw unbeaten Caleb “Sweethands” Planhigion (17-0, 10 Kos) score a unanimous decision victory over former title challenger ROGELIO “Porky” medina (38-9, 32 Kos) in their IBF Super Middleweight world title eliminator.

It was a tough fight tonight against a tough competitor who puts everything on the line,” meddai'r Planhigion. “I’m happy we got the job done tonight.
Plant established his style early, landing several flush jabs in round one to control the distance. The Nashville-born fighter showed the superior footwork from the outset that would lead him to the victory.
I stuck to the game plan and I did exactly what I said I was going to do,” meddai'r Planhigion. “I boxed his ears off for 12 rounds.
He never had me hurt, but I found his style very difficult,” said Medina. “He moves a lot and he’s pretty quick, so that was tough to deal with.
While Plant has now become the number two rated contender in the IBF 168-pound rankings, Medina was not eligible to achieve that ranking due to missing weight Dydd Gwener.
I think I felt the struggle to make weight a little bit,” said Medina. “I was a little tired in the later rounds and it probably was due to the drain to make weight. But it is what it is.
Plant was able to mix in lead left hooks and straight right hands to continue to damage Medina throughout the action. The consistent jabs caused blood to begin pouring out of the nose of Medina beginning in round three.
While Medina continued to fight hard and occasionally land single clean punches on Plant, he was unable to follow-up with much effective offense and never was able to hurt his opponent.
Ar ôl 12 rounds of action, the judges scored the fight 120-108, 119-109 ac 117-11, all in favor of Plant.
“Rwyf am (IBF 168-pound champion) Caleb Truax,” meddai'r Planhigion. “He was calling me out when I was 12-0. I’m on the doorstep knocking now, let’s see if he still wants it. He can either ship me the IBF belt to my doorstep, or I’ll come take it off his waist.
Additional televised action saw 2016 U.S. Olympaidd Karlos Balderas (4-0, 3 Kos) remain undefeated as he cruised to a unanimous decision over Jorge Rojas (4-3-1, 2 Kos) in their lightweight bout.
The four-round bout was not only the first time Balderas had gone the distance as a pro, but the first time an opponent made it through more than one round against him. Balderas staggered Rojas early in round one with a counter left hook, but Rojas was able to survive the round and the subsequent stanzas.
I felt good in there,” said Balderas. “I need to learn to relax a little bit more in the ring. I hurt him in the first round and I could have finished him quickly. My corner reminded me to slow down, but I was still throwing everything with power. I’m going to keep working on my composure in the gym. I can’t kill everyone in the first round.
After four rounds of action all three judges scored the fight in favor of the Santa Maria, California-native Balderas by the score of 40-36.
I’m going to keep picking up my opposition this year,” said Balderas. “Rojas had a really good chin. I’m going to stay in great shape so I’m ready whenever the call comes. I’m going to keep working and aiming for that world title shot down the road.

FNU Dangos Campau Ymladd: Is UFC Using Boxing as a Lifeline; CM Punk vs. Floyd?; Event Recaps and Previews

This week, Tom, Tony and Rich start our weekly broadcast with a discussion on the latest news on Floyd Mayweather Jr. teasing the idea of fighting in the cage. Even though Rich has been talking about this match-up on our show for weeks now, a recent article described the idea of CM Punk facing Mayweather as a rumor started by the
Money Team.Either Mayweather’s listening to our show or great minds think alike. We also touch on the subject of why the UFC may need to diversify with the addition of boxing cards and special events. We also recap last week’s boxing action and a spectacular UFC 221 card headlined by Yoel Romero’s TKO of Luke Rockhold. We then look forward to Roy Nelson’s fight with Matt Mitrione, set to go down later tonight on the Paramount Network. Yn olaf, we preview UFC Fight Night 126, with a main event of Donald “Cowboi” Cerrone facing Yancy Medeiros.

Former Heavyweight Contender and Well-Known Boxing Manager Team up with Texas-based Businessman to Form Lone Star Boxing Promotions

 

Former heavyweight contender David “Nino” Rodriguez, well-known former boxing manager Ivaylo Gotzev and Laredo, Texas-based businessman and boxing historian Arturo Ortiz are proud to announce the formation of Lone Star Boxing Promotions, LLC.
The trio, with Gotzev acting as CEO, Rodriguez as President and Ortiz as Vice-President, say they plan to bring big-time, televised and competitive fights back to the state of Texas, as well as across the country.
Lone Star Boxing Promotions will present its first event on Dydd Sadwrn, Ebrill 7, at the Laredo Energy Arena in Laredo, Texas, featuring former multiple-time world champion Ricardo Mayorga taking on hometown veteran Rodolfo “Cobrita” Gomez Jr. in a super middleweight 10-rounder.
Lone Star was formed, Rodriguez says, after his retirement from fighting (due to a spinal injury), when he called up his trusted friends Gotzev and Ortiz to talk about stepping into the promotional arena.
The difference between Lone Star Boxing and other promotional firms is that we will treat the fighters ethically and fairly,” meddai'r Rodriguez. “I spent 20 years as a boxer and contender and I know the good, the bad and the ugly sides of boxing. I will not treat any fighter that signs with Lone Star any different than I would want to be treated myself. I will be honest and upfront with every fighter, therefore setting a new standard of ethics and honesty in our sport. We hope to make Lone Star the standard of boxing when it comes to our fighterswelfare.
We won’t be afraid to get our hands dirty and will plant ourselves in the location of the fight for a month or more leading up to the shows,” added Gotzev, who may be best known for his outstanding work with former WBC heavyweight champion Samuel Peter. “We want to deliver the best shows by putting together great match-ups and then getting the excitement going straight to the fans from the area. We’re not going to be promoters on paper and at the mercy of network executives giving away handouts. We are ready to work the old-fashioned way and make history.
The pair say the addition of Ortiz, heavily connected to the Texas boxing scene, will prove extremely advantageous to their mission.
Arturo knows the people we need to know to make our first show a smashing success,” meddai'r Rodriguez. “He is well-respected in Laredo and his name adds a great deal of credibility to our endeavor.
The plan, Fodd bynnag,, is to branch out to multiple towns around the United States and the world.

 

 

 

This is only the beginning,” said Gotzev. “We are already planning events in other cities and signing fighters to our promotional stable. I’m very happy to be in business with these two friends and looking forward to a bright future for Lone Star Boxing Promotions.

Siaradodd Ortiz ar amrywiaeth o bynciau wrth iddo fynd i'r ornest ddisgwyliedig iawn gyda Wilder. Dyma beth oedd gan Ortiz i'w ddweud o wersyll hyfforddi yn Miami:
Ar Deontay Wilder…
“Mae'n siarad gormod. Bydd yn rhaid iddo gefnogi hynny yn y cylch. Mae’n dweud ei fod yn mynd i ladd ‘King Kong.’ Mae'n mynd i fy nharo i allan. Rwyf am ei wylio yn ceisio. Dydw i ddim yn debyg i'r dynion eraill yr ymladdodd. Rwy'n ymladdwr go iawn. Anodd a gyda llawer o brofiad. Rydw i wedi bod yn ymladd ers oeddwn i 10 mlwydd oed.
“Nid yw'n fy nychryn. Mae ei sgwrs sbwriel yn gwneud i mi chwerthin. Dim ond llawer o sŵn ydyw. Rwy'n llwglyd. Rwy'n gwneud hyn ar gyfer fy nheulu. Mae'n well iddo fy nghymryd o ddifrif oherwydd mae'n mynd i gael ei hun ar y cynfas cyn iddo wybod. Dw i’n mynd i ddangos i’r byd pwy ‘King Kong’ yn.”
Ar ei wrthdaro â Wilder ar ôl ymladd olaf Ortiz…
“Dywedodd rhywun wrthyf fod Wilder yn y dorf, Gwenais. Roeddwn yn falch o'i weld. Roeddwn i'n gwybod beth oedd ei eisiau.
“Dydw i ddim y math sy'n hoffi siarad yn y sbwriel, ond rydw i wedi ei gael gyda'r dyn hwn. Mae'n siarad gormod. Mae ganddo geg fawr. Mae wedi fy sarhau ac wedi dweud gormod o bethau mud. Felly pan welais ef wrth ymyl y cylch dywedais wrtho am fynd i mewn i'r fodrwy a dweud wrth y byd unwaith ac am byth ei fod yn mynd i ymladd â mi. Dywed ei fod am frwydro yn erbyn y prif ymladdwyr. Rwy'n ymladdwr gorau. Gadewch i ni ei wneud.”
Ar brofi'n bositif am sylwedd gwaharddedig yn ystod hyfforddiant ar gyfer y frwydr gyntaf yn erbyn Wilder…
“Mae llawer o bobl yn credu ynof i ac yn fy adnabod yn dda, gwybod na fyddwn yn gwneud unrhyw beth a all beryglu fy nyfodol fel paffiwr. Mae gen i ormod yn y fantol: fy nheulu, fy mhlant a'r posibilrwydd i ddarparu ar eu cyfer.
“Roeddwn i wedi bod yn cymryd y feddyginiaeth honno ers dwy flynedd. Fy nghamgymeriad oedd peidio â datgelu’r cyffur presgripsiwn hwnnw yn y gwaith papur. Wnes i erioed feddwl bod presgripsiwn yn mynd i ddod â chymaint o drafferth i mi. Roeddwn i'n cymryd y feddyginiaeth hon i drin pwysedd gwaed uchel, ond mae'n debyg ei fod hefyd yn cael ei ddefnyddio i fynd i'r ystafell ymolchi llawer a chuddio pethau eraill. Rwy'n yfed dau galwyn o ddŵr y dydd. Rwy'n mynd i'r ystafell ymolchi llawer yn barod. Dwi byth yn rhoi dau a dau gyda'i gilydd. Rwy'n lân. Roedd y dos y daethon nhw o hyd iddo yn fy system yn rhy isel i guddio unrhyw beth o gwbl. Pe bawn i wedi gwybod, ni chaniatawyd y cyffur presgripsiwn hwn, Byddwn wedi dweud wrth fy hyfforddwr a fy meddyg.
“Rwy'n bwysau trwm nid oes angen i mi wneud pwysau. Pam ydw i'n mynd i fynd i'r drafferth o gymryd sylwedd anghyfreithlon sy'n gwneud ichi fynd i'r ystafell ymolchi yn fawr? Does gen i ddim angen. Yn syml, doeddwn i ddim yn gwybod ei fod wedi'i wahardd. Pe bawn i wedi gwybod, Byddwn wedi dweud rhywbeth wrth fy hyfforddwr neu wrth y meddygon.
“Rwy'n meddwl nad oedd y frwydr i fod ar yr adeg honno y llynedd. Chwaraeodd tynged ran. Roedd i fod i gael ei ohirio. Nawr nid oes unrhyw esgusodion.”
Ar ba mor bwysig yw'r frwydr hon iddo…
“Mae pob ymladd dwi wedi ei gael yn fy ngyrfa wedi bod yn bwysig. Yr allwedd bob amser yw osgoi meddwl ei fod yn ennill neu'n marw oherwydd gall hynny eich rhoi oddi ar y canol. Felly'r ffordd dwi'n ei weld yw bod y frwydr hon yn bwysig i mi oherwydd mae'n rhaid i mi ei hennill. Ac rydw i'n mynd i. Mae'n bencampwriaeth byd, ond i mi, dim ond diwrnod arall yn y gwaith ydyw. Fy unig nod yw ennill y frwydr hon. Win. Win. Win. Trwy ennill y frwydr hon, popeth arall yn datblygu. Rwy'n cael teitl ac rwy'n helpu fy nheulu.”
Ar yr hyn sy'n mynd i ddigwydd ar noson ymladd…
“Pan gaf yn y cylch, y cyfan y byddaf yn meddwl amdano yw'r strategaeth a luniwyd gennym yn y gampfa. Mae fy nheulu yno bob amser. Maen nhw'n mynd i bob ymladd. Dyna oedd fy addewid iddyn nhw pan fu’n rhaid i mi eu gadael ar ôl yng Nghiwba i ddod i’r Unol Daleithiau. Byddan nhw'n dod gyda mi ble bynnag yr af. Os byddaf yn nwy allan, Rwy'n edrych arnyn nhw ac maen nhw'n fy nghadw i fynd. Nhw yw fy nghymhelliant a byddant yn fy helpu i gyflawni'r fuddugoliaeth hon.”

Top Prospect Ruben Villa (9-0, 4 Kos) in Action TONIGHT!! yn Ontario, MEGIS

Philadelphia, Penn./ORANGE, Calif. (Chwefror. 16, 2018) – Rising featherweight talent Ruben Villa (9-0, 4 Kos) of Salinas, Calif. faced some fight week uncertainty after his initial opponent, Ruben Tamayo, fell in and was replaced by Juan Sandoval (7-20-1, 4 Kos) o San Bernardino, Calif. yn hwyr Dydd Mercher.

Y “Path to Gloryco-feature between Villa and Sandoval is set for 6-rounds and originates from the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, Calif. Heno.

Villa, a former two-time Golden Gloves winner, gave his take on heno last minute match up, his early dominance on the scorecards, and what its like sparring against heavier competition.

Your main sparring partners for this training camp were Joel Diaz, Jr. and Andy Vences. Both fight at a heavier weight class than you (135-140 pwys.). What kind of advantage will that give you ar ddydd Gwener nos?

It’s a tremendous advantage. Mae fy hyfforddwr, Max Garcia, wanted me to spar bigger, longer guys with respectable records. Both Joel and Andy have hit the 20-fight mark and are highly skilled. I went four-minute rounds with them to make sure I was prepared for Tamayo. They gave me excellent work.

Is there anything specific that you dialed in on for this training camp?

I’m trying to use more angles so I can attack in different ways. Hefyd, trying to mix up my movements so I don’t telegraph what I’m trying to do.

Your opponent, Juan Sandoval, was added at the last minute. How does this affect your preparation?

It’s boxing. This type of stuff happens all the time especially when you’re first starting out. I’m not too worried. I put in an excellent training camp and I’m prepared for everything.

Of your five wins that have resulted in unanimous decision victories, you’ve managed to win every round on every scorecard. Did you expect that kind of dominance early on?

Staying in the gym pays dividends, but at the same time you should see that type of dominance in a prospect. The ability to impose your will boosts your confidence. I see every round of every fight going my way. It’s not arrogance, it’s confidence and you need that belief otherwise you’re in trouble.

Villa is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.

All fights will be live streamed on TB Presents: Path to Glory via our Facebook page and ThompsonBoxing.com.

The livestream starts at 8:00 p.m. PT / 11:00 p.m. A with Beto Duran as the blow-by-blow announcer and Steve Kim providing expert color commentary.

Drysau'n agor am 6:30 p.m. local time with the first bout at approximately 8:00 p.m. The Doubletree Hotel is located at 222 N. Vineyard Ave. yn Ontario, MEGIS 91764 and can be reached at 909-937-0900.

Here is what the fighters had to say from Rhythm & Riffs Lounge in Las Vegas:
DANNY GARCIA
I took a little under a year off just to enjoy my life. I’ve worked hard my whole life; I’ve been boxing for 20 flynyddoedd. I just wanted to be a regular person and let my mind rest, spend time with my daughter and enjoy some of my money.
“Yn fwy na dim, I just felt like I needed the rest. It wasn’t about the hunger because I’ve always had passion for the sport. Rwyf wrth fy modd bocsio. I love the competition.
I’m back now and I’ve been in camp for three months. Im 'yn ymarfer yn galed. I feel great and I feel confident.
It was a close fight against Thurman. I walked out of there with no injuries. Thurman was the one with the elbow injury, so he took more punishment than me. I could easily be unified champion of the world right now. Ar ddiwedd y dydd, I’m a champion. That’s my mindset. What doesn’t break me, makes me stronger.
It feels great to be from Philly right now. The atmosphere is crazy. When the Eagles won the Super Bowl, it felt like I won. They motivated me to go out there and do what I have to do.
It’s the Danny Garcia show so I’m going to go in there and do what I want to do. I’m going to dictate the pace. If we want to bang, we can bang. If we want to box, we can box.
I’ve faced fighters that came straight at me before. I’ve faced fighters that moved. I’m prepared for whatever. I’m a young veteran in the sport and what made me a true champion is adapting to anything and overcoming adversity. If I have to overcome adversity ar ddydd Sadwrn nos, then I’m going to do that because that’s what I was built for.
I need to get a victory ar ddydd Sadwrn nos. I can’t overlook anybody. I’ve seen some crazy things happen in boxing. One punch can change everything, so I’m just focused ar ddydd Sadwrn nos.”
BRANDON RIOS
“Rwy'n barod 100 y cant. I’m ready to give the fans an exciting show and that’s what I’ve prepared for. That’s my style. I always come forward and I come to fight. We ain’t dancing, we’re going to be fighting.
Robert Garcia has always been my brother. He’s a brother from another mother. It felt great to be back with Robert Garcia and I’m just ready for the fight now. Him and Donald Leary have me confident in myself, and that’s the most important thing.
I’m going to take advantage of every opportunity. This can make or break me. I’m doing everything right in training and dieting. I usually say I can’t wait until weigh-ins but this time I can’t wait until Dydd Sadwrn.
There’s no weight issue at all. I’m perfectly on-weight right now. I’m perfectly fine health-wise, there’s no injuries. Rwy'n 100 percent ready.
DAVID BENAVIDEZ
I’m going to put Gavril into retirement after this fight. Rydw i'n mynd i guro ef allan. This is going to be the fight of the night so you guys don’t want to miss it. He’s not going to want to box again after I get done with him.
He dropped me but I wasn’t hurt at any point of that fight. I got back up and smiled. I did not feel his power at all.
It wasn’t a tough decision to give him a rematch because it was a great fight. I just want to give the fans the fights they want to see. They said the first one was a war, let’s make this one a war too.
I’m not offended by Gavril’s talk because he’s a good fighter. This is just more hype for the fight and more motivation for me to go in there and make it a war.
“Y tro hwn, there’s going to be a little bit more boxing. I really want to put this guy away so in order to do that, I need to step up every part of my game.
Ronald Gavril
In the first fight, I proved to everybody that I have the skill and the power to be the best in this division. I thought that I won the fight, especially with the knockdown. So now, I had more than eight weeks to prepare for this fight when I only had four weeks for the first fight. I’m better now.
I was not surprised Benavidez gave me the rematch because it was such a good fight. I think Benavidez talks to much. He said before the first fight that he was coming to stop me in four rounds or five rounds. He cannot stop me. Ac yn awr, he said the same thing before this fight. He can’t do that. Why do you think he got a new fitness coach?”
YORDENIS UGAS
Moving up from 140 i 147 mewn 2016 has been great for me. Putting on the extra weight only makes me stronger.
I’m ready to fight Robinson. Rwy'n teimlo 100 percent and after I fight him ar ddydd Sadwrn, I’m looking forward to fighting (Errol) Spence if I’m successful.
I’m going to jump on the fact that I have length and reach on him. I have the height advantage. I can find a way to come in and attack the body first.
“Mae hyn yn bendant yn y frwydr fwyaf o fy ngyrfa. It’s an eliminator so I’m going for the win ar ddydd Sadwrn nos.”
RAY ROBINSON
At one point, I used to put a lot of pressure on myself because of my name. I put so much pressure on myself that I even think I lost a couple fights. I look up to Sugar Ray Robinson, but I’m here to put my own footprints in the sand.
I have learned from every fight and gotten better every fight as a pro and as a person. I have a great team now and they have only added to my craft.
I feel confident. I did all of the hard work in the gym with my team. This is the easy part. I can box with a blindfold on. That’s the one thing I know how to do – frwydr. Ar ddydd Sadwrn, all of my hard work is going to pay off.

Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from Don Haskins Center
VICTOR ORTIZ
We’re ready to go once again. I’m here for what’s mine, and that’s a victory. Alexander is a nice fighter and I’m sure it’ll be a war.
The victory is the only thing on my mind. I’m here to defeat Devon Alexander. I just need to trust my training and I know it’ll give the result I want.
I’m definitely looking for the knockout. I want to put on a great performance for these fans. They’ve supported me throughout this promotion and I owe them something memorable.
Devon and I have known each other for a long time, but that all goes out the window on fight night. It’s going to be a brawl. We’re going to do what we have to do to get this win and move on to the next step of my career.
DEVON ALEXANDER
No one wants to hear me say what I’m going to do. People want to see me beat Victor Ortiz. Nothing else matters. I’m prepared to come in and win this fight. I’m going to win and get back to the top.
I’m so blessed to be in this position. I’ve had ups and downs in my life and career, but it’s all been leading to this moment and this part of my career. I’ve got something special coming for the fans.
I’m really excited to be fighting in El Paso. This is clearly a fight town and I can’t wait to give them a great show ar ddydd Sadwrn.
This fight is so important to me. I know how important it is to Victor too. We both need these wins to get to where we want to be in the future. Only one of us can move on, and It’s going to be me.
CALEB PLANT
This has been the best camp of my life. Everyone always says that, but this has truly been the best one I’ve ever had. I have a great team that I’m very lucky to have.
It’ll come down to who has the will to win. There’s a stigma that people on the ‘A sidehaven’t been through trials and tribulations. But I’ve been through more than anyone can imagine.
I’m not playing around. This is no joke to me. This is all I’ve ever had. When I was a kid with no heat and the lights were off, boxing was all I had. Dydd Sadwrn night I’m getting my hand raised and I’ll be one step closer to a world title.
Dydd Sadwrn night is going to be fireworks. There’s no secrets what’s going to happen when I fight ‘Porky’ medina. He’s coming to break me down, and I’m coming to box.
ROGELIO MEDINA
I am honored to be a part of this card and compete in a big fight like this in a fight city like El Paso. I’m looking forward to putting on a great show for the fans.
I’m determined to get this win. Caleb Plant is a good fighter, but he’s never fought anyone as tough as me. I don’t think he’s going to be ready for my pressure.
I’m always going to come forward and look for the knockout. That’s what we train for and that’s the only thing on my mind. I have to go right through Caleb Plant to earn another world title shot.
JENNIFER HAN
I want to thank El Paso for always being there to support me. I couldn’t do what I do without all the fans.
I’m truly blessed to have the help and support of me team. We work hard together and we win together.
I’m thankful to Lizbeth Crespo for coming to El Paso. I’ve had problems in the past getting opponents here who are ready. She looks ready to go and we’re going to put on a great show.
This is such a talented card full of world class fighters. If the fans show up, we’re going to keep having big events like this in El Paso.
LIZBETH CRESPO
I am thrilled to be here. It’s an honor to be fighting Jennifer Han. She’s the queen of El Paso and I’m excited to fight her in her backyard.
I’m focus and determined to win this fight. I’ve had a wonderful training camp and I’m looking forward to taking home the victory for Argentina.
