LAREDO, TX (五月 21, 2017) – Unbeaten rising contender 大卫Benavidez (18-0, 17 科斯) 凤凰, 亚利桑那州. knocked out exciting former title challenger 罗赫利奥 “腴” 梅迪纳 (37-8, 31 科斯) from San Luis Rio, Mexico in a super middleweight world title eliminator that headlined a special 星期六 夜间版 总理拳击冠军 上 FS1 和 FOX体育 从 Laredo Energy Arena 拉雷多, 得克萨斯州.
The action-packed main event opened with several crowd-pleasing exchanges in the first pair of rounds. Round three offered more of the same as the rugged pair of pugilists went toe-to-toe giving and receiving each other’s best.
在第四轮, Benavidez caught Medina with a left uppercut and then followed with a flurry that backed Medina up, but amazingly Medina stayed upright. Medina fought back and engaged Benavidez, but Benavidez landed a sensational seven-punch combination to close out the round.
At the end of round six, Benavidez damaged Medina with an onslaught of offense that buckled Medina into the ropes with referee Jon Shorle ruling it a knockdown. Medina survived the round, but only to eat another bombardment of punches and get dropped for a second time at the end of the seventh round due to a right uppercut to his solar plexus.
Round eight brought a close as Benavidez landed one final eight-punch combo that dropped Medina for a third time and caused Shorle to stop the action at 1:01 进入第八轮.
贝纳维德斯说, “This is just a glimpse of what I can do. I’ve never fought a fighter that pushed me to the full extent like this. Porky Medina is a tremendous fighter. It took everything for me to knock him out, but it was an amazing fight.”
Benavidez continued, “My biggest advantage tonight was my jab. I didn’t throw it as much as I would have liked, but just enough to set him up. I’m looking forward to getting back in the gym and coming back even stronger.”
A disappointed Medina said, “今晚我尽力了. The plan was to win, work him from beginning to end, but he moved a little bit more than I anticipated. (Benavidez) did his job and hit me with a few good shots. But I’m going to keep training for my shot at a title and hopefully it will come.”
The win elevates Benavidez into the mandatory position to challenge for the vacant super middleweight world title that will go to the winner of the agreed to Anthony Dirrell vs. Callum Smith clash.
Benavidez concluded, “This makes me more humble and gives me more motivation to work harder. There has never been a super middleweight champion at 20-years old, but I’m going to be the first to do that.”
Televised coverage kicked off with unbeaten featherweight contender 豪尔赫·拉腊 (29-0-2, 21 科斯) 瓜达拉哈拉, Mexico defeating Mario Briones (28-6-2, 22 科斯) from Aguascalientes, Mexico by third round knockout in their scheduled 10-round contest.
在第一轮, Lara worked to establish an aggressive pace and punished Briones. The second round began with more of the same, Lara hitting Briones with punches in bunches. Briones was able to hold his ground initially, but a straight left with a little less than one minute remaining in the second frame sent Briones to the canvas. Lara then knocked Briones down for a second time with a wild right hand at the close of the round, but Briones quickly regained himself after time expired and was allowed to continue.
The third round opened with Lara mixing it up to the body before landing an overhand right that further dazed Briones. 拉拉, smelling blood in the water, swarmed Briones with a barrage of punches and forced referee Lee Rogers to stop the bout at :58 into the third.
Not resting on the win, Lara said, “I felt great to get back in the ring tonight. This was a fantastic win for me, but there are four champions out there in my division. I’m ready to fight whoever asks me out of those four belt holders.”
The swing bout featured 奥斯汀Dulay (10-0, 7 科斯) of Hermitage, 田纳西州. winning a unanimous decision (59-52, 59-52, 59-52) in a six-round junior lightweight fight against 何塞·埃斯基韦尔 (10-6, 2 科斯) from Laredo, 得克萨斯州.
The final televised fight of the evening showcased 亚当·洛佩兹 (7-0, 3 科斯) 格伦代尔, 加利福尼亚州. 击败 约旦白 (4-1, 3 科斯) 兰多佛, 马里兰州. 一致决定 (59-55,59-55, 60-54) in a six-round bantamweight bout.

National Harbor (五月 20) – From the MGM National Harbor “先生。” 加里·拉塞尔小, (28-1, 17 科斯) had a successful homecoming in front of a nearly sold out crowd as he defended his WBC Featherweight World title with a seventh-round stoppage against the very tough, strong-willed Columbian 奥斯卡埃斯坎东 (25-3, 17 科斯) 在精彩表演拳击锦标赛的主要事件.
拉塞尔JR. took control of the action from the outset, peppering the shorter Escandon at will and dropping him in the third.
然而, the brave Escandon fought his way back into the fight in the fourth and fifth stanzas, but Russell stormed into the seventh, battering the hurt Escandon and dropping him early, causing referee Harvey Dock to stop the fight at the 0:59 圆形的标志 (点击 这里 to watch the TKO).
About the victory, 拉塞尔JR. 说, “首先, I want to say happy birthday to my father. 第二, I’d like to tell all the fans that came to support me: I love you all. 谢谢.
“I fought a tough competitor. I knew Escandon wanted to come and bring his best. I knew he was going to come forward. I was ready for him. We are warriors.
“I want Lomachenko [下一个], that’s a no-brainer. I don’t want to do it for the fans or for the media, I want to do it for myself. And I want to do it twice. I’ll knock him out the first time and then, he’ll want me to fight him again.
“I’d love to unify against all the other guys in the featherweight division. I’d like Leo Santa Cruz, 李谢肃方, Oscar Valdez.”
About the knockout loss, “I was getting my rhythm going and I felt like Gary was getting tired. I didn’t see him coming with the big punch he threw at the end and that was it. I went down and was hoping to get a 10 计数, but the referee didn’t give it to me and he stopped the fight.
“I knew that Gary was going to go fast from the first to the fifth round and it was part of my strategy to let him do that and get tired. It didn’t work unfortunately.
“Now we need to go back to the drawing board to rest and see what my manager has planned for me.”
Said trainer and father Gary Russell Sr., “I’m ecstatic. I’m really happy. I got three wins. Three stoppages. It’s my birthday. 我 15 minutes from home and I can go home and relax.
“We prepared fully for Mr. 埃斯坎顿. We knew he was going to do what he did – come forward. I don’t want to diminish or take anything away from Mr. 埃斯坎顿. He really is a hard, rough fighter. Throughout the course of the fight, I instructed Gary to hit him with some good shots. Some hard shots. It is a brutal sport.”
Co-featured on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in a 12-round clash for the IBF Interim Super Middleweight Title, 燧石, Michigan’s 安德烈Dirrell, (26-2, 16 科斯), was declared the winner after round eight as 何塞Uzcategui, (26-2, 22 科斯) 梅里达, 委内瑞拉, was disqualified for a punch after the bell sounded to end the eighth round.
Uzcategui started fast, battering Dirrell from the opening round, cutting off the ring and slamming away with body and head shot through the first three rounds. Dirrell saw success starting in the fourth round, countering Uzcategui and scoring
很好.
Over the next four rounds, the contenders traded even as the fight became more hotly contested. At the end of the eighth round, with Dirrell backed into a neutral corner, Uzcategui let loose with a three-punch combination, the last left hand hitting the southpaw after the bell as he fell to the combination.
Following a delay to allow medical personnel to attend to Dirrell, referee Bill Clancy declared that Uzcategui was disqualified with Dirrell being declared the winner.
Said referee Bill Clancy about his decision, “The bell rang to stop the round. The round was over and Andre [Dirrell的] was knocked out with an illegal punch. So therefore, Dirrell will win this fight by disqualification.
“That’s a blatant foul. Earlier in the fight, I had warned Uzcategui. I warned him. Dirrell wins the fight, he was clearly unable to continue.”
About the ending, Dirrell said, “All I remember was him [Uzcategui] throwing a shot at me at the same time the bell rang. After that everything was blurry. I remember a shot and then all went fuzzy.
“I forgive Uzcategui. I forgive his camp. I don’t want to win a championship like this. I wanted to win fair and square. But I forgive him.
Following the decision, Dirrell’s trainer and uncle Leon Lawson punched Uzcategui in the corner, sparking a brief altercation in the ring that was quelled by MGM National Harbor security and local police.
“I’m sorry for what my coach has done. My coach is my family, my uncle, and he was worried. He cares for me. He loves me. Please forgive him.
“I’m going to stand up like a man. I didn’t win like I wanted to, 但我会回来的. I’m going to come back as soon as they let me.”
Stated a very disappointed Uzcategui, “I felt very good. I was hurting him the entire fight. I felt like I could hurt him anytime I wanted. Nothing he hit me with hurt me.
“I was throwing a three-punch combination and I didn’t hear the bell. I didn’t mean to hit him. The third punch wasn’t that hard of a punch. I was surprised he stayed down.
“He did the same thing against Abraham that he did against me tonight. He quit against me and he quit against him. I deserve to be the winner.”
The live televised fights in The Theater kicked-off with two-division world championRances缪 (26-0, 13 科斯) winning a 12-round unanimous decision over valiant Kiryl Relikh, (25-3, 16 科斯), of Baranovichi, Byelorussia. Scores in the WBA Super Lightweight eliminator were 116-110, 115-111 和 117-109.
The opening two rounds of the fight featured excellent action with both fighters attempting to impose their will. In the third round Relikh suffered a low blow resulting in a two-minute delay, 然而, no point deduction was made by referee Kenny Chevalier. Following the low blow, the shorter Relikh became much more aggressive.
With the undefeated, blue-haired Barthelemy switching stances often in the fourth stanza, he was able to score at will against Relikh.
然而, Relikh came out charging in the fifth, battering away against Barthelemy who was caught against the ropes and scoring a knockdown when the ropes held the Cuban up from a barrage of hard punches.
Recovering nicely in the sixth and seventh, Barthelemy badly hurt Relikh with a multitude of body shots from both hands.
In the eight round Barthelemy truly turned the tide for good in the ninth, drilling Relikh to the canvas with a blistering left hook to the body. Through the championship rounds it was all Barthelemy who finished strong against the game but outgunned Relikh.
Said the victorious Barthelemy, “It feels great to be going forward. The 11-month layoff really took a toll on my body and I felt it in the ring.
“I knew it was a close fight but knew I should get a unanimous decision.
“Relikh was a hard hitter. He surprised me with a right hook in the 5th round and I hit the canvas, so I knew I had to be careful going forward. I knew I had lost that round and had to come back stronger.
“I took the sixth round to take a breather and then I came back to work the body. Once I knocked him down, I saw that he was hurt and protecting himself upstairs a lot more so I knew I was going to have to be more strategic to come out victorious.”
Replied a very disappointed Relikh, “Of course I thought I won. Even TV thought I won. The referee did his job when he called it a knockdown in the fifth. I thought it was over.”
“The two low blows definitely affected me. It takes the wind out of you. This is boxing not MMA.”
Hot super bantamweight prospect 加里·安东尼奥·拉塞尔 提高到 8-0 with six knockouts with a dominating performance and knockout stoppage of Puerto Rico’s Jovany Fuentes, (7-9, 6 科斯). Following knockdowns in the second and third stanzas, the bout was called to a halt at 0:22 第三轮.
Making his pro debut, 超轻量级 加里·安图安·拉塞尔, (1-0 1 KO) wasted no time dropping Joshua Ross, (2-4-4) of Monroe, LA to the canvas three times enroute to a stoppage victory at the 2:25 mark of the initial stanza.
Gervonta戴维斯 went on the road in the first defense of his IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship and made a statement with an emphatic third-round TKO of previously undefeated local favorite Liam Walsh in the opening bout of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING from Copper Box Arena in London.
The southpaw Davis (18-0, 17 科斯) set the pace from the opening bell, connecting seemingly at will with a strong left hook. 在第三轮, America’s youngest world champion floored Walsh with a strong left after a series of brutal connecting combos on the inside. Walsh got up, but the onslaught continued seconds later and referee Michael Alexander stopped the championship bout at 2:11, with Walsh defenseless and on unsteady legs.
“Tonight we were in the groove,” 戴维斯说. “I think he was hurt pretty bad. The ref did his job and it was just a matter of time. I used my boxing IQ tonight and picked my shots, and when I picked my shots I got him out of there.
“I’m still on the rise. I became a champion super-fast, but I’m still rising and there’s more to come.”
Promoter Floyd Mayweather was ringside in London to support his fighter, who he’s christened “the future of boxing.”
沃尔什 (21-1, 14 科斯), who entered the bout as the No. 1 challenger and the decided local favorite at Copper Box, was disappointed with the stoppage.
“他的速度非常快, very active, but that was too quick,” Walsh said. “He won fair and square, but sometimes they stop the fight too early. I never got an opportunity. I’m not saying the result would be different, but give me a chance.
“I’d love to fight him again. I’d fight him for next to nothing.”

缅因州在六月推出了自己版本的麦格雷戈-梅威瑟 17 超级格斗
即时发布: 路易斯顿, 缅因 (五月 19, 2017) – 两名来自不同格斗运动项目的运动员相互竞争曾经是罕见的. 在 1963, 传奇摔跤手兼柔道练习者吉恩·勒贝尔 (Gene Lebell) 与熟练拳击手米洛·萨维奇 (Milo Savage) 进行了一场被誉为现代混合武术之父的比赛 (MMA). 后, 在 1976, 拳击世界重量级冠军穆罕默德·阿里在东京举行的表演赛中对阵日本摔跤手和武术家安东尼奥·猪木，闭路电视向全球转播, 按次付费的先驱.
近年来，越来越多的综合格斗选手和拳击手在两项运动之间进行过渡. 已经有一段时间了, 关于拳击巨星弗洛伊德·梅威瑟和 UFC 轻量级王者康纳·麦格雷戈可能会面的谣言四起. 如果比赛发生, 毫无疑问，这将是有史以来票房收入最高的比赛之一. 当双方都在制定比赛的细节时, 缅因州拳击迷将在周六上演他们自己的超级拳击赛, 六月 17 在刘易斯顿时 罗素 “海地风情” 爱, JR. (15-2, 7 科斯 – 拳击记录) 会见 布鲁斯 “漂亮男孩” Boyington (14-9 – MMA战绩) 在六轮中量级拳击比赛中. 这将成为 New England Fights 举办的综合格斗和拳击混合赛事的拳击头条新闻 (NEF) 在古老的安德罗斯科金银行体育馆.
拳击手和综合格斗选手过去并非从未在缅因州见过面. 他们经常在 NEF 中这样做, 这促进了这两项运动. 是什么让这成为 “超级战斗” 是每个运动员在该州的地位. 的确, 拉莫尔和博因顿对于当前当地的拳击界来说就像梅威瑟和麦格雷戈对于全球拳击场一样. 他们都是州内的巨星, 每个人都有自己的忠实粉丝大军.
“关于麦格雷戈与梅威瑟的所有讨论, 这是一场有趣的比赛,” 拉莫尔的教练兼波特兰拳击俱乐部主席鲍勃·鲁索说道. “新英格兰拳击领域最好的中量级选手之一与新英格兰综合格斗领域最好的轻量级选手之一 . 当我们被博因顿叫出来时，我感到惊喜. 我们已经同意了几个不同的对手，我猜他们已经重新考虑了. 然后我们接到电话说这个挑战已经摆在桌面上. 这将在拳击和综合格斗爱好者中引起真正的轰动。”
拉莫尔是当今缅因州职业拳击的代言人. 他赢得了超过 100 业余拳击手，八次获得地区金手套冠军, 五次新英格兰地区冠军和铜牌得主 2009 美国拳击锦标赛以及众多其他成就. 拉穆尔参加了半职业世界拳击系列赛，并在北美中量级联盟中排名第一. 作为一个专业, 拉穆尔表现出色. 他获得了新英格兰中量级冠军 2014. 拉莫尔曾参加过 ESPN 的比赛 星期五 夜战斗 全国观众面前的拳击系列赛.

这是博因顿在MMA笼中的成功, 然而, 他最为人所知的. 他华丽的打击和击倒能力为他赢得了“ “人类精彩片段” 国家能源基金会. 他获得了 NEF MMA 职业轻量级冠军 2014 并三次成功卫冕，之后放弃金腰带，与全球格斗大赛签约 (WSOF) 推广于 2016.
自从与WSOF签约以来, 博因顿曾在世界上一些最大的舞台上战斗过, 包括纽约市麦迪逊广场花园在内的 NBC 全国转播活动的底牌. 他远赴俄罗斯，为重大国际晋级绝对冠军而战 (ACB). WSOF 需要一些时间才能在新的所有权下重组 “职业联赛战士,” 博因顿希望在等待下一场全国比赛时保持活跃. 再次在众多家乡球迷面前战斗的机会是不可抗拒的.
