VERONA, NEW YORK (Décembre 19, 2015) – Le 2015 boxing year culminated with a tremendous show at Turning Stone Resort Casino as WBA Interim Heavyweight Champion Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz (24-0, 21 KOs) closed the show by maintaining his title with a knockout-of-the-year candidate over Bryant “Par – Par” Jennings (19-2, 10 KOs) in the seventh round of their scheduled bout live on HBO Boxing After Dark.
“Aujourd'hui, there is a new era in the heavyweight division,” Ortiz, who landed a vicious uppercut to end the fight, dit. “Jennings is fighter who deserves much respect, but he can tell you that I am a force in the heavyweight division. I am going to go out and obtain my objective. “I have been training for a big fight of this magnitude for three years. My strategy was to keep him at a distance and I was able to do that effectively with my reach and my jab. I will fight whoever next, whoever Golden Boy Promotions gives me I will take. Wilder, Fureur, Klitschko anyone of them, I am ready to prove that I am the heavyweight world champion. A lot of people say a lot of things about me, but the testing showed that I am a clean fighter.
I wasn’t on my game, and he got the best of me,” Jennings said. “I didn’t adjust well and he was the better man.
The co-main event saw two Super Featherweightsformer WBA Featherweight and Super Featherweight World Champion Nicolas “Axe Man” Walters (26-0-1, 21 KOs) and Jason Sosa (18-1-4, 14 KOs) — wage a superb battle with both fighters landing tremendous sharp, accurate shots throughout the fight. While Sosa won the fight on one of the judge’s cards, the fight was ruled a draw as the two other judges had the fight even.
I am in total shock. I was never in any danger, never hurt,” Walters said. “[Sosa] est un bon combattant — the kind of fight I wantedbut I thought I won all the rounds. So surprised this happened to me.
I thought I won and am disappointed it was a draw,” Sosa said. “Je ai travaillé dur, I really thought I won the fight.
In the HBO Latino Boxing main event light heavyweight Vyacheslav “coeur de Lion – Chigonsky” Shabranskyy (15-0, 12 KOs) kept his undefeated record intact slugging out a majority decision over Yuneski Gonzalez (16-2, 12 KOs) in an action-packed brawl that saw both fighters land huge shots throughout the fight.
This fight was the most important and most exciting fight of my career,” said Shabranskyy. I did feel a lot of Gonzalezpunches but I also feel like I hurt himespecially in the last round, he was beginning to sway. If I had a little more time I feel I would have knocked him out.
I knew that this was going to be a war and that is what we delivered tonight,” Gonzalez dit. “We both gave it our all and didn’t let up. I knew that I needed to knock him out to win this fight but he was more resilient than I thought and didn’t open up enough for the knockout to happened. I did know the fight was very close and should have been a draw in my opinion. I would like the opportunity to fight him again and prove that I am the better fighter.
In the co-main of the HBO Latino broadcast, rising middleweight “Roi” Gabriel Rosado (22-9, 13 KOs) shook off some tough early rounds to earn a hard-fought unanimous victory against former IBF Welterweight World Champion Joshua “Grand Maître” Clottey (39-6, 22 KOs).
It has been more than a year since I have been in the ring so I did feel a little I the rust but I feel like this fight really helped me shake it off,” Rosado a dit. Clottey is a tough opponent, ancien champion du monde, definitely a challenge for me in my first fight back. I delivered an entertaining fight tonight and I was happy with my performance. I am ready for my next big challenge, I would like a shot at Canelo [Alvarez] next.
Gabriel gave everyone a great performance today,” said Fernando Vargas, Rosado’s trainer. This was our first training camp together and I think we are going to keep growing and make great fights together.
This was an off night for me,” Clottey said. “I do think that the fans enjoyed the fightwe are both fighters that do not like to back down. Cependant, I don’t feel comfortable at this weight class, I want to go back down to 154 and continue to fight at junior middleweight.
Opening the HBO Latino broadcast, former WBA and IBF Featherweight World Champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (25-1, 17 KOs) had all he could handle after a 13-month layoff, squaring off in a lightweight showdown against Hylon Williams Jr. (16-2-1, 3 KOs) de Houston. Après 10 rounds of back-and-forth action, the judges awarded Gamboa a hard-fought unanimous decision.
It feels good to be back in the ring,” Gamboa said. “I trained in Cuba, and I feel that all the hard paid off. I was faster and stronger in the ring. I know I dominated the action tonight, I made sure he knew I was in control from the first round.
I felt good about the pace of the fight, I know I hurt him a few times,” Williams a dit. “This fight should have gone my way.
In a light heavyweight battle, rising prospect D’MitriusBig Meech” Ballard (11-0, 7 KOs) won a shutout unanimous decision against a game Fabiano “Pit Bull” Plume (11-4-1, 8 KOs).
I am glad I secured the victory today,” Ballard said. “[Plume] was able to go all six rounds with me, but I felt in complete control the entire fight. I think I am ready to step up to more rounds and bigger opponents. I am ready for the next big step of my career and this fight showed that. I want to thank Oscar and Golden Boy Promotions for the opportunity and I can’t wait for the next fight.
Dans le combat d'ouverture de la soirée, middleweight Steven “The Hitman” Martinez (16-2, 13 KOs) emerged with a second round TKO victory over Jorge “Destructeur” Melendez (28-6-1, 26 KOs).

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE SAMEDI POUR DEVENIR 12e CHAMPION DU MONDE BRITANNIQUE ACTUEL SUR SHO EXTREME® DE MANCHESTER,ANGLETERRE

NEW YORK (Décembre. 19, 2015) - Billy Joe Saunders Champion du monde des poids moyens détrôné WBO Andy Lee avec une décision majoritaire à 12 tours samedi le BOXE SHOWTIME INTERNATIONAL de Manchester, Angleterre.

 

La lutte, qui a été marqué 115-111, 114-112 et 113-113, sera rediffusé ce soir à 9 p.m. ET/PT sur SHO EXTREME.

 

Dans un match de gauchers tactiques, un troisième round explosif de Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs) était la différence. Le challenger britannique a frappé Lee deux fois - d'abord avec un gros crochet droit et à nouveau avec un compteur juste 30 quelques secondes plus tard - et Lee étourdi survécut d'une manière ou d'une autre 10-7 tour. FAITS SAILLANTS VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe

 

L'Irlandais Lee (34-3-1, 24 KOs) a combattu son chemin et a été le combattant le plus agressif dans les rondes de championnat, mais ce n’était pas suffisant pour compenser un démarrage lent et les deux renversements.

 

Avec la victoire, Saunders est devenu le 12e champion du monde britannique actuel.

 

«Je suis champion du monde,”A déclaré Saunders. «J'ai battu un bon champion aujourd'hui, un bon champion robuste. J'ai utilisé son pouvoir contre lui. Quand je boxais, il est devenu un peu imprudent et a laissé tomber sa main de tête et je l'ai attrapé avec le crochet.

 

«Je ne vais pas commencer à faire couler ma bouche, mais c'était un bon coup. Avec quelqu'un d'aussi vite que moi, tu dois garder les mains levées. Je ne suis pas le plus gros puncheur du monde, mais je vous ai montré là-bas que je peux frapper.

 

WBA Middleweight Champion du Monde Daniel Jacobs, fraîchement sorti d'un KO au premier tour de Peter Quillin il y a deux semaines à SHOWTIME, était un analyste invité Samedi de New York.

 

«Je pensais qu'il allait être un gros bagarreur, Je pensais qu'il avait de meilleurs atouts,”Jacobs a dit de Lee. «Il n’a pas fait assez pour moi. Il était trop complaisant et après le renversement, vous n'avez pas vu ce sentiment d'urgence qu'un combattant doit avoir sur la piste de retour.

 

«Tout le crédit est dû à Billy Joe, mais ce n’était pas une victoire impressionnante. »

 

Après avoir regardé le combat, Jacobs n'était pas prêt à s'engager dans une confrontation à l'unification en 2016 avec le gagnant.

 

«Nous ferons tout ce qui a du sens,”A dit Jacobs. "Je pense qu'il est temps de s'asseoir et de comprendre ce qui a du sens. C'est évidemment le bon moment pour devenir un champion des poids moyens. »

Las Vegas (Décembre 18) – Le “forcewas with Cuban star and newly crowned lightweight world champion Rances Barthelemy (24-0, 13 KOs) as he won a 12-round unanimous decision over Russian southpaw Denis Shafikov (36-2-1, 19 KOs) in the headlining bout of the final Premier Champions de boxe (PBC) sur Spike fight card of 2015. The four-fight telecast, which was supported by non-televised fights featuring some of Mayweather Promotions’ étoiles montantes, took place at the Pearl at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
Coming off of a luxury world tour, Floyd Mayweather returned stateside and sat ringside as promoter of tonight’s fights. The recently retired five-division world champion, who also learned today he was selected asSports Illustrated Fighter de l'année, was animated and engaged through the final bell of the evening.
L'événement principal, which started off as a close toe-to-toe battle, ended in the Barthelemy’s favor as he swept the latter quarter of the bout. Shafikov controlled the beginning of the fight, staying in the pocket and throwing more powerful punches than Barthelemy as the Cuban had a difficult time adjusting to the significantly shorter, yet stronger, style of Shafikov.
The turning point of the fight occurred when a cut caused by a punch by Barthelemy opened up above Shafikov’s right eye in the eighth round. The blood began to poor furiously and referee Vic Drakulich called the ringside doctor over to inspect the cut. When the fight resumed, Barthelemy attacked the Russian’s eye and never let up for the remainder of the fight. He took advantage of the cut and coupled it with his height and reach advantage which led to a recipe for success as he is now a two-division world champion. The judges saw the bout 119-109 et 116-112 deux fois.
There were moments where I was trapped into my style of fighting. It took me a minute to adjust to Shafikov’s style and exchange punches with him,” Saïd Barthélemy. “I’m really happy with the number of punches I was able to get off.
I was really impressed with Shafiov’s warrior style. He never gave up even after getting hurt with punches that were affecting his fight. That really caught me by surprise and also that he was able to last the whole fight. The fact that he continued really says something about him as a fighter.
I’m not sure if I won the fight,” Saïd Shafikov. “I’m very disappointed and I want a rematch.
The co-main event saw a bizarre ending to what was to be a cruiserweight elimination bout. Detroit southpawIsiah Thomas (15-0, 6 KOs) was winning the fight on all three judgesscorecards through round three when Russian power-puncher Murat “Fer” Gassiev (22-0, 16 KOs) threw accidental late blows to Thomashead after the bell. The punches forced referee Jay Nady to make the tough call that the punchesdiminished the valueof Thomasability to continue. As the fight had not yet gone four rounds, unified rules state that the fight does not go to the scorecards, thus ruling it a no contest.
Chris Pearson (16-1 11 KOs), a promising super welterweight from Dayton, Ohio put his previously undefeated record on the line against fellow unbeaten Eric Walker (12-0, 6 KOs) of Plaquemine, Louisiana in the second televised bout. Walker came out strong, dominating the early rounds against Pearson, another member of the stable of rising stars from Mayweather Promotions. A wobbled Pearson persevered and attempted to turn the tide in an action-packed fifth round with a series of head shots.

The seventh round saw both fighters exchanging a brutal barrage of punches culminating with a fast-paced eighth and final round drawing a standing ovation from the crowd. The underdog Walker, who spent 13 years in Dixon Correctional Institute in Louisiana, scored a unanimous decision victory (79-71, 78-74, 80-72) winning the biggest fight of his life in front of a captivated national TV audience.

If you believe in God and work hard at what you’re doing, you’re going to succeed,” dit Walker. “Look at me now.
I had watched his previous fights and knew that my right hand would be too much for him and that I could land it anytime,” continued Walker. “My conditioning was really the difference tonight. I was in great shape and I was able to rely on that when the going got tough.

Pearson was disappointed in the decision and was left wanting a rematch.

“Je prends mon chapeau à lui,” dit Pearson. “His punches were crisp and hard. I just couldn’t get going on anything consistently. I thought it was closer than the judgesscorecards and I definitely want a rematch as soon as possible.

Dans le combat d'ouverture de la soirée, one of boxing’s fast rising stars, Gervonta “Le One” Davis (14-0, 13 KOs) out of Baltimore put his undefeated record on the line against Mexico’s Luis Sanchez (17-5-1, 5 KOs) in a lightweight clash.

Davis, a 21-year-old protégé of Mayweather, lived up to his reputation as a budding superstar scoring a hard-fought ninth round knockout victory. Sanchez showed his toughness and resiliency as he forced Davis to fight three rounds longer than any fight of his career.Davis showed his speed and power in the eighth round as he landed an uppercut to knock down his determined opponent. In the ninth round, he threw a massive left hand to finish Sanchez, sending Mayweather to his feet in celebration.

It felt great to fight all of these rounds and get the work in,” a déclaré Davis. “He’s a tough fighter and I learned a great deal tonight. It was a very good experience for me.
I just listened to my corner and Floyd, took my time and broke him down. I want to fight again as soon as possible for a world title.
Mayweather, who was very pleased with Davis’ performance, sees the young undefeated fighter’s future as bright.
It’s always good to go out there and get the W,” Saïd Mayweather. “Il est jeune. He’s still learning. We’re looking forward to him being a world champion some day.
Mayweather relished in the opportunity to promote one of the final fights of the year in his hometown of Las Vegas saying, “I’m so happy we were able to showcase on national television some of the talented fighters we have at Mayweather Promotions. Gagner ou perdre, I am proud of all of them.
More importantly I want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and thank for them supporting me, Mayweather Promotions and The Money Team throughout all of these years. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIE. (Décembre 18, 2015) – The main event of Bellator MMA’s return to WinStar World Casino & Resort à Thackerville, D'ACCORD., sur Mars 4 will feature undefeated Darrion Caldwell (8-0) challenging former two-division world champion and the self-proclaimed “Baddest Man on the Planet” Joe Warren (13-4).

Les billets pour "Bellator 151: Warren vs. Caldwell” go on sale this coming Monday, Décembre 21 and start at just $45. You can purchase tickets at the WinStar World Casino and Resort Box Office, ainsi que Ticketmaster.com et Bellator.com. Portes pour l'événement ouvert à 5:00 p.m. CT heure locale, with the first contest taking place one hour later.

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 [Garenne] 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. Maintenant, 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. Un 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, lutte. 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 Mars 4 to find out.
