After this fight we are looking forward to Roc Nation putting him on higher profile fights, TV fights where the world can see what we already know – that he’s one of the best young fighters in the world and a future Champion.

In celebration of the best rivalries on SHOWTIME, see below for a special column from SHOWTIME Sports expert analyst and boxing historian Steve Farhood.
LEGENDE
By Steve Farhood
Boxing without legends would be like religion without saints.
There’s no formula for a fighter to advance from star to superstar to legend. The process depends on timing, circumstance, and sometimes as little as a point or two on the judges’ kartice.
And oh, da: It helps if a guy can really fight.
As we celebrate 30 years of boxing on SHOWTIME, we’re focusing on a different theme each month. Throughout March, the theme will be Legends.
U 130 years from John L. Sullivan to Floyd Mayweather, boxing has given us what other sports can’t provide. Consider:
- The Associated Press voted Luis Firpo’s knockdown of Jack Dempsey as the greatest sports moment of the first half of the 20th Century.
- The Frazier-Ali “Fight Of The Century” in 1971 was easily the most anticipated sporting event in history.
- Last year’s Mayweather-Pacquiao fight generated more than half-a-billion dollars — in one night!
Legends are made by big moments … and how they respond to those moments.
On SHOWTIME, we’ve featured three decades worth of legends. Here’s a look at those who will share the spotlight in March.
MARVIN HAGLER: Since Vince Lombardi didn’t exactly say, “Timing isn’t everything, it’s the only thing,” Hagler should’ve said it.
Hagler was a great fighter long before he was a superstar, but it wasn’t until he fought Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, and Sugar Ray Leonard (three of Hagler’s last six bouts) that Marvin became Marvelous.
Hagler’s one appearance on SHOWTIME, which happened to be the first bout televised on the network (Ožujak 1986), was the final win of his career. Undefeated over 10 godina, Hagler had established himself as one of the greatest middleweights in history. And while it could be argued in hindsight that at age 31, the ultimate blue-collar fighter was slightly past his prime, much of what made Hagler special was on display during his savage defense against his unbeaten and ferocious challenger, John Mugabi.
Almost three decades after his retirement, Hagler remains the middleweight today’s 160-pounders are measured against.
Sugar Ray LEONARD: If Hagler bloomed late, Leonard was a superstar before he threw a single punch as a professional.
Back in the mid-‘70s, that’s what a magnetic smile, an Olympic gold medal, and repeated exposure on prime time television could do for a young fighter.
It’s ironic that Leonard was initially viewed by some as a coddled creation of the media. Zapravo, he was as tough as any fighter of the star-studded early-‘80s. Better yet, he remains the best fighter I’ve covered in 38 years on the boxing beat.
Leonard’s appearance on SHOWTIME was the penultimate bout of his career. In electing to end yet another lengthy layoff, Sugar Ray, 34, chose outstanding 23-year-old super welterweight titlist Terry Norris as his opponent. Leonard dropped from 160 za 154 pounds and fought at Madison Square Garden for the first time.
The bout served as a reminder that at least in a pre-Bernard Hopkins world, boxing was very much a young man’s game.
FELIX TRINIDAD: There are only three Hispanic fighters who became superstars in the USA without speaking English. The first was Panama’s Roberto Duran. The second was Mexico’s Julio Cesar Chavez.
The third was Puerto Rico’s Trinidad.
Trinidad’s motto might as well have been, “If you can’t be from America, then beat America.”
A classic puncher with a boy scout’s smile and a fan-friendly personality, Trinidad made his name by defeating four U.S. Olimpijci, Pernell Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya (albeit by a terrible decision), David Reid, Fernando Vargas.
Povrh toga, Whitaker, De La Hoya, and Reid had all been gold medalists.
The fight we’ll feature on Ožujak 17 on SHO EXTREME, Trinidad vs. Reid, was Trinidad’s 14th and final appearance on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING and SHOWTIME pay-per-view.
From his welterweight title-winning kayo of Maurice Blocker in 1993 through his defense against Mahenge Zulu in 1998, 13 of Trinidad’s 14 bouts were aired on SHOWTIME. Twelve of those fights were knockout wins.
Where Trinidad ranks with Wilfredo Gomez, Miguel Cotto, Carlos Ortiz, Wilfred Benitez, and the rest of the legends from Puerto Rico is debatable. What is inarguable is that “Tito” generated as much excitement as any fighter of his era.
RICARDO LOPEZ: What’s smaller: the chance that a strawweight (105 funti) becomes an American television star or the fighter himself?
There’s never been an American world champion at strawweight (or minimumweight). We just don’t grow fighters that size. Zapravo, until the emergence of Mexico’s Lopez in the early-’90s, most American boxing fans couldn’t have identified a single strawweight if armed with a map of the world and a set of WBC ratings.
Lopez was so complete, so dominant, so technically perfect, that from 1994 to ’99, he was a staple of SHOWTIME’s boxing programming. He fought 13 consecutive bouts on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING or SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View, and the first 11 of those contests were defenses of the strawweight title.
And if you think the little guys can’t punch, dobro, there were some one-punch kayos sprinkled in.
Lopez, who retired with a mark of 51-0-1, is universally acknowledged as an all-time great. Too bad he never fought America’s Michael Carbajal at light flyweight. Had he won that bout, he’d likely be acknowledged as one of the two or three greatest Mexican fighters ever.
Which is saying a lot for a fighter who never faced an opponent recognized by the American viewing public.

BELLATOR MMA IS THE NEW FIGHTING HOME OF WANDERLEI ‘THE AXE MURDERER’ SILVA
Bellator President Scott Coker and Wanderlei Silva (Kredit: Bellator / Lucas Noonan)
SANTA MONICA (Ožujak 2, 2016) –Bellator MMA is pleased to announce that one of the most popular, recognizable and beloved fighters in the sport of mixed martial arts, Wanderlei "The Axe Ubojica" Silva (35-12-1), potpisao je ekskluzivnu višegodišnju, multi-fight contract with the promotion. The 39-year-old publicly fielded offers from companies all around the world, but the former Pride FC Middleweight Champion made the decision to take his explosive style to Bellator MMA.
“The Axe Murderer” has fought in some of the most memorable feuds and battles the sport has ever seen. His wars with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Tito Ortiz, Mirko Cro Cop, Vitor Belfort, Dan Henderson, Kazushi Sakuraba, Chuck Liddell, and Michael Bisping are the stuff of legend – but Silva is far from ready to close the book on his illustrious career.
In addition to his Pride FC Middleweight World Championship, Silva’s packed trophy case of accolades includes awards for Fight of the Year (2003, 2004, 2007), KO godine (2008), and multiple Fight of the Night awards including one for each of his last three fights, samo da nabrojim nekoliko. He now looks to continue to provide his award-winning, entertaining fights inside the Bellator cage.
Silva has several options for his first fight with Bellator. Although he has spent the majority of his career at 185-pounds, one of the things that his fans love most about him has been Wanderlei’s willingness to fight the best of the best – even if it was up two weight classes at heavyweight – as proven by his heavyweight wars against guys like Mark Hunt, Gilbert Yvel, Kazuyuki Fujita and Cro Cop; Or, his battles against light heavyweights like Ortiz, and his most recent opponent, Brian Stann, who he knocked out in the second frame.
Silva is the latest in a long line of recent free agent signings made by Scott Coker and Bellator MMA. The former Chute Box competitor joins: Josh Thomson, Phil Davis, Benson Henderson, Sergei Kharitonov a Anastasia Yankova on a roster with champions the likes of: Marcos Galvão, Daniel Straus, Will Brooks, Andrey Koreshkov, Rafael Carvalho, Liam McGeary aVitalij Minakov,
