JimJ.R.Ross i En Bernstein called the action from ringside on CBS Sports Network in North America and internationally via ESPN.

Steve Claggett (L) upset Emmanuel Robles
Claggett, fighting out of Calgary, Canadà, dropped down one weight class. Coming off a disputed 10-round decision loss to Chris van Heerden this past April, also at the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center, Claggett won a 10-round majority decision (98-92, 98-92, 94-96)aquesta nit for the vacant North American Boxing Association (També) títol de pes welter. His expert body work allowed him to dictate the pace of the boxing match.
This is a long time coming, Claggett admitted. “I took the loss (vs. van Heerden) in stride, vowing to go back to the gym and make changes. I went down to 140 (lliures.) and it was the right decision. I’m stronger. I I really worked hard.
I landed a couple of shots that hurt him noticeably. És dur. Robles is a champion in the making. Tinc molt respecte per ell. Aquesta és la meva vida. Ella (his loss to van Heerden) fueled me. The fire’s back in me. I love fighting in Las Vegas.
NeecoThe RoosterMacias (L) stole the show to became a rising star
The co-feature showcased a pair undefeated junior middleweights and from the opening bell it was a real firefight. Macias forced RolandoRola” Garsa (9-1, 6 KOs), a 3-time Mexican National amateur champion, to fight his fight. Macia’s aggressive style, always coming forward, throwing punches from every conceivable angle, ruled the coop. Garza got caught up in the action and paid for it, although the score after was 39-37, 39-37 for Macias, 39-37 for Garza, entering the fifth and final round. Macia’s constant pressure controlled the action, wearing down Garza, and paid dividends as he dropped Garza in the fifth. Àrbitre Jay Nady had seen enough, halting the fight at that point as much due to the damage Garza had suffered in the first four rounds as the knockdown.
A rising star was born in Macia, who captured the vacant World Boxing Association (CMB) United States junior middleweight championship. “It’s conditioning, a lot of work,” Macias explained the reason for his non-stop action before crowing loudly in the ring. “I stuck to the game plan. I knew he’d come to fight with a lot of skill to out-box me and get points. My game plan was throw a lot of upper cuts and punches from every angle. It was all about throwing combinations.
He had a lot pf power, so I used defense to block punches. In the last round, I put punches together. I think the fight was stopped a little early and he could have kept going, but I didn’t see what he saw, and the referee was looking out for the fighters so we can fight another day.
Jeremy Nichols remained undefeated
In the television opener, flashy Las Vegas welterweight JeremyJ-FlashNichols (6-0, 2 KOs) kept rolling, winning a 4-round unanimous decision over Steve Belmontes (2-1, O KOs). Nichols outworked his opponent, consistently beating Belmontes to the punch with his superior quickness.
I think it could have been a little flashier,” Nichols admitted. “But give it up to my opponent, he came to fight. With more than 100 baralles com amateur, he could take a punch but he kept coming. My goal was to take everything from him and make him fight my fight. His hands were a little slower and he took a lot of good body shots and counters.
Marina Ramirez (R) was a crowd pleaser
Idaho junior flyweight Marina “Rocós” Ramírez (40-36, 40-36, 40-36) pitched a 4-round shutout, derrotant RachelThe Black WidowSazoff (0-2) pels comptes de 40-36 en tots els àmbits. “I landed a lot of shots,” Ramirez noted. “I respect her, she was tough. The game plan worked and we got the win.
Randy Moreno (L) keeps improving
Twenty-year-old Randy Moreno (4-0, 3 KOs) turned in the best performance of his young career, stopping Australian junior lightweight “12” Gaige Ireland (2-1-2, 2 KOs) a la tercera ronda. Moreno fights with the poise of a much older fighter, effectively counter punching from the opening bell. “Se sent molt bé,” Moreno commented. “I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t forGil Martinez (entrenador en cap). He is notorious for his training methods and it’s paid off. I’ve been with him 10 any. Fighting here at home means the world to me.
Ismail Muwendo (L) romàs invicte
El invicte prospecte de pes lleuger IsmailSharp ShooterMuwendo, fighting out of Minneapolis by way of his native Uganda, va millorar a 18-0 (12 KOs), taking a one-sided six-round unanimous decision from Eliseo Cruz (9-2-1, 6 KOs). “I think I did well, I was out of the ring a long time,” Muwendo commented. He’s a tough guy who was ready.
Max Ornelas (R) opened the show in grand style
Las Vegas favorite MaxBaby Face AssassinOrnelas (4-0, 2 KOs) remained unbeaten by way of a 4-round unanimous decision over Jonathan “Johnny BoyQuiorz (6-5, 1 KO). “I was confident (of winning the decision,” the 18-year-old Ornelas said. “I was out-boxing him. I love fighting here. I have a lot of support from family and friends; I’m motivated when I hear them.

La “Els” must go in co-feature showdown at “Knockout Night at the D” between Undefeated junior middleweight prospects Rolando Garza & Neeco Macias

Viu Set. 9 on CBS Sports Network from the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center
LAS VEGAS (Agost 30, 2016) – In a classic match-up of contrasting styles, RolandoRolaGarsa i NeecoThe RoosterMacias will both put their undefeated records on the line in the “Knockout Night at the D” 8-round co-featured event, ventilació Divendres nit, Setembre 9, a CBS Sports Network, live from the outdoor El centre de Las Vegas Events Center (DLVEC).
La “Knockout Night at the D” sèrie, presented by

and DLVEC, is promoted by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions. Hall Of Fame announcers JimJ.R.Ross i En Bernstein will call all of the action from ringside, a partir de 11 p.m. I / 11 p.m. I, a CBS Sports Network.

The 10-round main event pits unbeaten junior welterweights Emmanuel “RenegadeRobles (15-1-1, 5 KOs) i Steve “The Dragon” Claggett(23-4-1, 16 KOs),promoted in association with Bobby D Presents, for the vacant North American Boxing Association (També) – United States junior welterweight championship.
Garza and Macias (12-0, 6 KOs), who will be fighting for the vacant WBCUS junior middleweight championship, are exact opposites in and out of the ring. The winner will advance to the next level of competition in the 154-pound division.
A technically sound boxer, Garza had an extensive amateur background as a member of the Mexican National Team, finishing with a 120-12 registre, before turning pro September 29, 2012. The quiet, unassuming fighter 24-year-old was impressive in his last fight, also at the DLVEC this past Juny 10, in which he dominated previously unbeaten Erasmo Garcia (5-0-1) on his way to an 6-round unanimous decision (59-54, 59-54, 58-56) victòria.

The opportunity that Roy Jones Jr Boxing Promotions and CBS Sports Network has presented me has boosted my confidence to another level,” Garza said. “I have never been more confident in my skills, my team and training. I’m going to show Las Vegas and the rest of country what my talent brings into the ring. Once Las Vegas witnesses my talent, lluitant en la televisió nacional, no one will be able to turn a blind eye. Not only will this fight put my name out there, but better opportunities will present themselves, and that keeps me motivated.

This fight will propel me into the 154-pound rankings. It’s high risk with an even higher reward: the WBC / US title. My opponent is a brawler; a non-stop, aggressive puncher who moves forward, which will make this fight nothing short of explosive fireworks in the ring.
In the other corner, the non-stop Macias relies on conditioning and an aggressive, always coming forward approach to break down his opponent. The 25-year-old Macias, fighting out of Palm Desert, Califòrnia, unlike Garza, who now lives and trains in Austin (TX), had only 30 amateur bouts having started boxing at the relative advanced age of 21. He did win gold medals at the National Blue & Gold Tournament, as well as Central California Golden Gloves and Desert Showdown. Macias is a showman, playing to the crowd before, during and after fights, crowing like a rooster, always with a broad smile on his face.

Maciaslast fight, also at the DLVE this past Abril 16, resulted in an action-packed fight against Limberth Ponce(10-2). Never tasking his foot off the pedal, Macias rolled to a win by 8-round unanimous decision (79-73 X 3), earning him a legion of new fans who were in attendance or watched the fight on CBS Sports Network.

Fighters don’t really care who they fight, they just want to fight,” Macias explained why his risking his undefeated record against an opponent who has never loss. “I had a fight fall through so, instead of waiting for another fight, when the opportunity to fight a 9-0 guy came, my coaches watched film of him and we agreed that I’m ready. This is the first time I’m fighting on the ‘Bside, but we’re using that as motivation. I take one fight at a time but I know I’m fighting on TV and need to look good. I want to show everyone that all the hard work has paid off.
I see this fight as my opponent probably having more skill, he’s technically sound and sets up his shots. But our plan is to take him out of his game plan, wear him down and have some fun doing it. My last fight was my first in Las Vegas and first time fighting on national television. It got a lot of notice. I’ve been through all of that now and will be even better prepared for this fight. It’s awesome fighting in Las Vegas on CBS Sports Network!”

I am excited to showcase my skills once again as the main event on a Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions card,” Robles va dir. “Both of my promoters, RJJ & Bobby D, are presenting me with such an incredible opportunity to fight for the Regional NABA Title belt. My opponent is in for the boxing lesson of his life. I know Claggett will be a strong contender and brings a power punch to the table.

Claggett is taking a risk by dropping down one weight class in order to challenge junior welterweight Robles.

“Aquesta baralla significa tot per a mi,” Claggett explained.

I understand my position and I know that I am on the ‘Bside, but I have been in this position many times before. I have a lot of experience in the sport of boxing and it has finally all come together for me. This will be my best fight. My focus and training will show on fight night.

My opponent is a strong fighter. Robles is a sharp boxer and he has a good history in the sport as well. He is a southpaw and brings a good record to the table. All respect to the Robles team, but I am ready to fight for my life, and this is what this sport is all about. Expect me to bring everything I have and put on a ’10war for the fans.

Coverage of the event will be provided by Sky Sports with the play-by-play call from Nick Halling, analysis from Jim Watt i Carl Froch and post-fight interviews from Andy Scott.

The SHOWTIME telecast will include extensive highlights and analysis of the IBF Featherweight World Championship between defending titlist Llegeix Selby and American challenger Eric Hunter.

(EDITORS NOTE: Due to a change in the bout order at The O2 in London, SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL is unable to provide live coverage of this bout.)

Martin vs. Joshua is the third of four heavyweight title bouts in five months per SHOWTIME (see details below). The scheduled 12-round matchup is the toughest test to date for both Martin (23-0-1, 21 KOs) and Joshua (15-0, 15 KOs), two bombers who boast a combined 94 percent knockout ratio.

Selby (22-1, 8 KOs) vs. Hunter (21-3, 11 KOs) is the second of five scheduled featherweight title bouts in 2016 (details below), a lineup showcasing many of the world’s best 126-pounders aiming to unifying one of boxing’s deepest divisions.

“The heavyweight division is experiencing an incredible resurgence, and the featherweight division is rife with compelling matchups,", Va dir Stephen Espinoza, Vicepresident Executiu & General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports. “Martin vs. Joshua is a can’t-miss showdown between a newly minted American champion and one of the sport’s fastest-rising stars. And Selby vs. Hunter has major implications in the talent-rich division. We are proud to work with Matchroom Sport to deliver these pivotal matchups to the U.S. audience.”

“I’m the Heavyweight Champion of the World, and that’s why I have no problem traveling to England for my first title defense,” Martin said. “I only want to fight the best, and I plan on knocking Anthony Joshua out and taking his fans and the belt back with me.”

“The O2 is going to be rocking on Abril 9 and the U.S. fans are in for a treat when they see Charles and I clash,” Joshua said. “Credit to him for coming over after calling me out, but he doesn’t know what he’s getting himself in for. I am going to show all my power, all my speed and all my accuracy to put on the best display of my life and become the Heavyweight Champion of the World by knocking him out. I’m delighted that fans in the U.S. will be able to witness it.”

“After a great experience in my first defense in Arizona against Fernando Montiel, it’s nice to be back in front of my home fans at The O2 in London,” Selby said. “It’s going to be a crazy atmosphere with a 20,000 person sold-out arena. Hunter has talked a lot of trash and I’m looking forward to showing him what it’s like at the world championship level. He’s in for a shock.”

“He’s got a belt I want, and that’s all I know about him,” Hunter said. “My team knows more about him than I do. It’s their job to come up with a game plan. My job is train and get ready to perform my best. I can adjust to anything in the ring. I’m just here at the gym working my butt off to get the job done. I’m going to be more focused than I ever have been for this fight.”

The 6-foot-5 Martin won the IBF championship on Jan. 16 quan Vyacheslav Glazkov suffered a knee injury in the third round of their vacant world title fight. In capturing the IBF belt, Martín, de St. Louis, Missouri, became just the sixth southpaw heavyweight champion in boxing history and the second current American heavyweight titlist.

While Martin has stopped his last 13 opponents and was the aggressor against Glazkov, the undefeated champ remains virtually untested. His first title defense and initial start outside the U.S., will take place at what is expected to be a pro-Joshua arena in London that sold out in just 90 segon. The 29-year-old Martin, who is trained by U.S. Olímpic Henry Tillman in Big Bear, Qualif., will be Joshua’s first professional southpaw opponent.

Joshua had a standout amateur career that culminated with an Olympic Gold Medal at super heavyweight in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Since turning professional in July 2013, the 6-foot-6 Joshua has steadily climbed through the ranks.

One of boxing’s most promising prospects, Joshua is coming off consecutive victories over previously undefeated opponents. En la seva última baralla, the 26-year-old was pushed past the third round for the first time in his career. Joshua defeated Dillian Whyte via seventh-round knockout on Desembre. 12. Ara, Joshua returns to The O2, the site of his professional debut and five of his 15 baralles professionals, in a bid to join Tyson Fury as the second current reigning British heavyweight champion.

Joshua is also looking to become the sixth super heavyweight Olympic Gold Medalist to win a heavyweight world title. If successful, he will join an impressive group that includes George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Lennox Lewis iWladimir Klitschko.

Nascut a Barry, Gal·les, Selby won his world title with a dominant technical decision over previously undefeated Evgeny Gradovich al maig 2015. The slick boxer made his first title defense in his U.S. debut last October, capturing a unanimous decision over former three-division champ Fernando Montiel.

The 29-year-old owns a slew of victories over previously unblemished fighters including Joel Brunker, Ryan Walsh, Viorel Simon, Corey McConnell iStephen Smith. He has won 18 straight since the lone blemish of his career, and six of his last eight victories came over previously undefeated opponents.

Hunter, who will take a four-fight win streak into his initial start outside the U.S., has always possessed an abundance of talent. Abans de convertir-se en professional, the Philadelphia native was an outstanding amateur and an alternate on the U.S. Olympic team.

The fast-handed 29-year-old has scored some solid victories as a pro, and his biggest enemy in a nine-year career has been himself – the switch-hitter doesn’t always keep his composure in check and allows his emotions get the best of him. Two of Hunter’s three losses came by disqualification, the last coming via DQ in 2013 contra Mike Oliver for hitting at the break. The other came againstLuis Franco a 2010, when he had a point deducted in the second and was DQ’d in the eighth after repeated low blows.

If Hunter can keep his hot head from getting him in trouble, he’s confident he can upset Selby and join Leo Santa Creu i Gary Russell Jr.. as U.S.-born world champion at 126 lliura.

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 ".

D'Irlanda Lee (34-2-1, 24 KOs) farà la primera defensa del seu títol de 160 lliures contra els anglesos Saunders (22-0, 12 KOs), el núm. 1 contendent de pes mitjà.

 

La SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNACIONAL ofrena delBoxNation la transmissió televisiva inclourà anàlisis d'experts en boxa SHOWTIME Brian Custer, En Bernstein i Paulie Malignaggiabans i després de l’enfrontament del campionat del món. Una altra presentació del combat s’emetrà a SHO EXTREME més tard aquella mateixa nit 9 p.m. I/PT.

 

Això és el que van dir Lee i Saunders durant els seus entrenaments de mitjans dimarts i Dilluns, respectivament:

 

ANDY LEE:

“Tinc un cop de puny que pot acabar amb una baralla, llums apagades, en un segon determinat.

 

"No em basaré en el cop de puny. Miraré dominar des del principi amb una pressió educada.

 

"En aquest moment em sento molt perillós.

 

"El registre invicte de Saunders és un desavantatge. Sempre ha estat en baralles que espera guanyar i ha estat ben gestionat per ell(Franco) Cau.

 

“Mai he perdut una baralla per punts i mai perdré per punts. Si estic a les cartes, sortiré balancejant-me a l’última ronda.

 

“Saunders ser company de viatge afegeix una altra capa, però al cap i a la fi el dia tracta sobre com ets de bo i ell no és prou bo per guanyar-me ".

 

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS:

“Estic preparat per anar-hi Dissabte nit. Aquest és el millor campament que he tingut mai. Estic preparat per a la prova més dura de la meva carrera, però sé que estic en una forma excel·lent per guanyar aquesta lluita i convertir-me en campió del món.

 

"Andy Lee és un lluitador dur: ho ha demostrat convertint-se en campió del món i tenint el tipus de carrera que ha tingut. Però tinc gana invicta i sé que estic a la vora de complir un somni infantil. No deixaré aquest ring sense el títol.

 

“L’entrenament a Espanya em permet allunyar-me de totes les distraccions i centrar-me únicament en la lluita. És difícil estar fora de casa, però tot forma part de la boxa. Ha estat un llarg campament, un campament dur, però després d’això sé que estic disposat a passar l’infern per assegurar-me que tinc èxit, vingui la nit de lluita.

 

"La divisió de pes mitjà és una de les més populars i estic preparada per lluitar contra qualsevol dels altres campions que hi hagi un cop guanyi el títol.

 

"Danny Jacobs va tenir una gran victòria en contra Peter Quillin, i després hi ha Canelo (Alvarez) i (Gennady) Golovkin. Sé la importància d’aquesta lluita per a la divisió i vull que el meu nom estigui entre els millors. Estic fent un pas a la vegada, però estic obert a lluitar contra qualsevol.

 

"No s'ha parlat amb la paperera amb Andy perquè sabem de què tracta cada persona. Compartim antecedents similars i cap dels dos farà un pas enrere.

 

"Aquesta serà una lluita en tota acció molt emocionant perquè ho deixarem tot al ring. Sé que tinc les habilitats necessàries per guanyar-lo i tinc la intenció de mostrar al món per què estic entre els millors que hi ha al voltant ”.

 

Saunders amb altres companys britànics Chris Eubank Jr..:

“La veritat és que Eubank Jr.. no pertany a nivell mundial: és un fals. És així de simple com això. No em va impressionar la seva victòria Gary O'Sullivan, a qui ja he guanyat. Pensa que pot enganyar el públic amb una victòria així, però no pot.

 

“El seu objectiu ara és pujar i lluitar contra els millors nois del món, però vam veure què va passar l'última vegada que va augmentar una osca i es va enfrontar a mi: estava molt exposat. El mateix passarà amb ell si lluita contra algú com Danny Jacobs pel títol de la WBA.

 

"No ets el millor pes mitjà del teu propi país i vols lluitar contra un campió del món i dir que el guanyaràs? Crec que és un engany i creu que és més gran del que realment és.

 

"Més aviat que tard, tornarà a ser exposat com el frau que és. Es pot continuar parlant, però finalment hauràs de fer una còpia de seguretat al ring contra combatents de primer nivell. Ha guanyat la seva última baralla i ara ha tornat a parlar (expletivo) de nou com si fos el millor lluitador de la història.

 

“Si té les pilotes per tornar a lluitar, cosa que dubto, Jo li lliuraria feliçment una altra pallissa, this time in even more convincing fashion.”

"Sabem Brook és un lluitador dur, molt tècnic,"Va dir Diego Chaves. "Però no és un boxejador ràpid i que és fàcilment molestat per cops al cos, which is one of our strengths. I believe he has problems going backwards, i ens anem a posar a prova el seu poder de cop, massa.

 

"Sento que la meva confiança creix amb aquest desafiament, knowing that I will have to face a champion like Kell Brook in his home country in England.
