2015 CLOSES WITH EXPLOSIVE ACTION ON HBO BOXING AFTER DARK® AND HBO LATINO® BOXING
BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE DISSABTE PER CONVERTIR-SE EN LA 12ª CAMPIÓ DEL MÓN BRITÀNICA A SHO EXTREME® DE MANCHESTER,ANGLATERRA
NOVA YORK (Desembre. 19, 2015) - Billy Joe Saunders destronat campió del món de pes mitjà de la OMB Andy Lee amb una decisió majoritària de 12 rondes el dissabte BOXA DE SHOWTIME INTERNACIONAL de Manchester, Anglaterra.
La lluita, que va ser anotat 115-111, 114-112 i 113-113, es tornarà a emetre aquesta nit a les 9 p.m. I/PT per SHO EXTREME.
En un enfrontament de punteries tàctiques, una explosiva tercera ronda de Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs) era la diferència. El rival britànic va llançar Lee dues vegades: primer amb un gran ganxo dret i de nou amb un contra dret just 30 segons després - i un Lee atordit va sobreviure d'alguna manera al 10-7 ronda. Vídeo: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe
El Lee irlandès (34-3-1, 24 KOs) va lluitar el camí de tornada i va ser el lluitador més agressiu de les rondes del campionat, però no va ser suficient per compensar un inici lent i els dos enderrocs.
Amb la victòria, Saunders es va convertir en el 12º actual campió del món britànic.
“Sóc campió del món,”, Va dir Saunders. “Avui he guanyat un bon campió, un bon campió resistent. Vaig utilitzar el seu poder contra ell. Quan jo feia boxa, es va descuidar una mica i va deixar caure la mà de plom i el vaig agafar amb el ganxo.
«No començaré a córrer la boca, però va ser un bon xut. Amb algú tan ràpid com jo has de mantenir les mans alçades. No sóc el puncher més gran del món, però t’he mostrat allà que puc donar cops de puny ”.
AMB campió mundial de pes mitjà Daniel Jacobs, acabat d 'aconseguir una eliminatòria de la primera ronda de Peter Quillin fa dues setmanes a SHOWTIME, va ser un analista convidat en dissabte de Nova York.
“Vaig pensar que seria un gran lluitador, Vaig pensar que tenia millors actius,Jacobs va dir de Lee. «No va fer prou per mi. Era massa complaent i, després del tomb, no vau veure aquesta sensació d’urgència que un lluitador ha de tenir a la pista de la tornada.
“Tot el mèrit degut a Billy Joe, però no va ser una victòria impressionant ".
Després de veure la baralla, Jacobs no estava preparat per comprometre's a un enfrontament d'unificació a 2016 amb el guanyador.
"Farem el que tingui sentit,”, Va dir Jacobs. "Crec que és el moment de seure i esbrinar el que té sentit. Evidentment, és un bon moment per ser campió del pes mitjà ".

With five impressive outings in a little over a year and a half under the Bellator MMA umbrella, it was only a matter of time before “The Wolf” found himself in a position to compete for a world title. There is still work to be done though, and the next stop on the road to championship gold goes through a man who has held Marcos Galvao’s belt already. A standout on the wrestling team at NC State University, the 27-year-old Caldwell most recently submitted Shawn Bunch via rear-naked choke in the first frame, adding to his tally of finishes (4). Initially a featherweight, Caldwell looks much more comfortable now at 135-pounds and as he proclaimed during a recent interview, “I foresee myself competing against Joe [Cau] with a No. 1 contender shot on the line, sooner rather than later.”
Warren has done just about it all under the Bellator MMA banner, winning titles at featherweight and bantamweight during his nearly six year promotional tenure. Ara, Warren has his sights set on another run with the 135-pound title, a belt he lost during an intense encounter with Galvao early in 2015. La 2006 Pan American and World Champion in Greco-Roman competition, the 39-year-old will test himself against a young competitor who excels in the same skillset that Warren has used to his advantage for most of his career, lluita. Will a win for “The Baddest Man on the Planet” propel him to a title shot against the winner of Galvao-Dantas 2 a week prior? Tune into SPIKE on Març 4 to find out.

Aptly nicknamed “The Cutt,” the 27-year-old Honeycutt is a two-time NCAA Division I All-American wrestler out of Edinboro University. Following his collegiate wrestling career, which ended with a runner-up finish in the 2012 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championship, Honeycutt enlisted the help of fellow Edinboro wrestler Josh Koscheck, who he now trains with at the longtime MMA veteran’s Dethrone Base Camp in Fresno.
Honeycutt made his Bellator MMA debut in September 2014, scoring a TKO victory over Aaron Wilkinson. He picked up his second win for the promotion at "Bellator 133: Manhoef vs. Shlemenko,” scoring a TKO win over Clayton MacFarlane.
The 32-year-old Bradley is an Iowa native who also earned a pair of NCAA Division I All-American honors while competing at the famed University of Iowa. Bradley turned to mixed martial arts in 2006 and earned 11 consecutive victories to open his career, picking up the Ring of Combat middleweight title along the way.
Bradley made his way to the Bellator MMA cage in 2013, and in four appearances to date, has already picked up decision victories over Josh Neer and Karl Amoussou.

The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts.

Fox put together an impressive 4-2 rècord com amateur, starting his career in the NEF cage in the summer of 2013. He won his first four in the NEF cage, all via stoppage prior to losing his bid to become NEF MMA Amateur Flyweight Champion to Dustin Veinott (4-4) last June. The back-and-forth battle with Veinott ended in a split decision, and it has been nominated for “2015 NEF Fight of the Year.” Later in 2015, Fox and teammate Jason Lachance (2-3) purchased the MMA Athletix gym in Bath, Maine from their former coach, Ryan Cowette (2-3). The upcoming bout with Warne will be the first of a multi-fight developmental deal Fox signed recently with NEF.
“Brandon and I seem like a pretty even match up,” va dir Fox. “Expect a fast-paced fight that could end at any moment.”
Brandon Warne is a member of Team Bombsquad based out of Ithaca, Nova York. He excelled in the amateur ranks of the sport, amassing a record of 5-1 with three finishes. Warne made his professional MMA debut this past October in Rhode Island in a losing effort to David Baxter (2-0). He comes to Maine looking for his first win as a pro against Fox.
“It’s an honor to be coming to Maine and put on a show at what I love in front of the NEF crowd,” said Warne. “Més, it’ll be my parents first time back in Maine since their honeymoon. As for the fight, I’m not much for trash talking. Fighters fight and that’s I’m coming to do!”
