JimJ.R.Ross и Ал Бернштајн called the action from ringside on КБС Спорт мрежа in North America and internationally via ESPN.

Стив Claggett (L) upset Emmanuel Robles
Claggett, fighting out of Calgary, Канада, 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)вечерва for the vacant North American Boxing Association (Исто така,) welterweight title. 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 (наспроти. ван Heerden) in stride, vowing to go back to the gym and make changes. I went down to 140 (lbs.) and it was the right decision. I’m stronger. I I really worked hard.
I landed a couple of shots that hurt him noticeably. Тој е тешко. Robles is a champion in the making. Имам голема почит кон него. Ова е мојот живот. Тоа (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 RolandoRolaGarza (9-1, 6 КО), 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. Судија 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 (Земјите од Западен Балкан) 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 КО) kept rolling, winning a 4-round unanimous decision over Стив 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. Со повеќе од 100 аматерски борби, 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 (Р) was a crowd pleaser
Idaho junior flyweight Marina “Роки” Рамирез (40-36, 40-36, 40-36) pitched a 4-round shutout, победувајќи RachelThe Black WidowSazoff (0-2) од страна на голем број 40-36 во одборот. “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 КО) turned in the best performance of his young career, stopping Australian junior lightweight “12” Gaige Ireland (2-1-2, 2 КО) во третиот круг. Moreno fights with the poise of a much older fighter, effectively counter punching from the opening bell. “Тоа се чувствува одлично,” Moreno commented. “I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t forGil Martinez (шеф тренер). He is notorious for his training methods and it’s paid off. I’ve been with him 10 години. Fighting here at home means the world to me.
Ismail Muwendo (L) остана непоразен
Непоразен лесни изгледите IsmailSharp ShooterMuwendo, fighting out of Minneapolis by way of his native Uganda, да се подобри 18-0 (12 КО), taking a one-sided six-round unanimous decision from Eliseo Cruz (9-2-1, 6 КО). “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 (Р) opened the show in grand style
Las Vegas favorite MaxBaby Face AssassinOrnelas (4-0, 2 КО) remained unbeaten by way of a 4-round unanimous decision over Џонатан “Johnny BoyQuiorz (6-5, 1 КО). “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.

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

Во живо Седум. 9 on CBS Sports Network from the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center
LAS VEGAS (Август 30, 2016) – In a classic match-up of contrasting styles, RolandoRolaGarza и NeecoThe RoosterMacias will both put their undefeated records on the line in the “Knockout Night at the D” 8-round co-featured event, проветрување Петок ноќ, Септември 9, на КБС Спорт мрежа, live from the outdoor Во центарот на градот Лас Вегас Настани центар (DLVEC).
На “Knockout Night at the D” серија, presented by

and DLVEC, is promoted by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions. Hall Of Fame announcers JimJ.R.Ross и Ал Бернштајн will call all of the action from ringside, со почеток во 11 вечер. И / 11 вечер. И, на CBS Sports Network.

The 10-round main event pits unbeaten junior welterweights Емануел “RenegadeRobles (15-1-1, 5 КО) и Стив “The Dragon” Claggett(23-4-1, 16 КО),promoted in association with Bobby D Presents, for the vacant North American Boxing Association (Исто така,) – United States junior welterweight championship.
Garza and Macias (12-0, 6 КО), 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 рекорд, 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 Јуни 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) победа.

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, борбата на националната телевизија, 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, Калифорнија, unlike Garza, who now lives and trains in Austin (Соединетите Американски Држави), 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 Април 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!”

Robles vs. Claggett, promoted in association with Bobby D Presents, is the 10-round main event for the vacant North American Boxing Association (Исто така,) – United States junior welterweight championship.

“Knockout Night at the D’ is truly establishing itself in Downtown Las Vegas as a premier event for boxing fans in the community and beyond,” рече Derek Stevens, Owner and CEO of the D Las Vegas and DLVEC. “From hometown heavy-hitters to up-and-coming amateur fighters, the second half of this series will bring unforgettable, action-packed shows that can’t be missed.
A former World Boxing Council (Земјите од Западен Балкан) Latino super lightweight champion, as well as a 2008 National PAL gold medalist.

I am excited to showcase my skills once again as the main event on a Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions card,” Роблес рече. “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. He is going to be challenging, the toughest opponent I’ve had to face thus far in my boxing career, but I am ready to show my opponent and his team the skills that will help me capture the title and bring it home to RJJ and my team.
It’s an honor to display my superior boxing skills for Roy Jones Jr. on CBS Sports Network and I am humbled that Las Vegas has accepted me with such open arms. Defeating Claggett will put me on the map as a contender for the top 140-pounders in the world such as (Adrien) Broner, (Terence)Крафорд & (Victor) Postal.
The 27-year-old Claggett (23-4-1, 16 КО) needs to bounce back from a disputed 10-round loss by majority decision the Chris van Heerden in his last fight this past April, also at the DLVEC, to revitalize his career. Claggett is taking a risk by dropping down one weight class in order to challenge junior welterweight Robles.

“Оваа борба е сè во животот,” Claggett explained. It is a make or break fight for my career and I have a chance to re-enter the boxing world at 140 фунти, which is a weight that I believe I should have been fighting at a little while ago. I have a new trainer for the first timea new teamand I am looking forward to showing fans a new fighter. A victory will stamp my name as a true world champion contender. 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.
A firefight is developing for the 8-round co-feature between unbeaten prospects RolandoRolaGarza (9-0, 6 КО) и NeecoRosterMacias (12-0, 6 КО), who will throw-down for the vacant WBCUS junior middleweight championship.

“The heavyweight division is experiencing an incredible resurgence, and the featherweight division is rife with compelling matchups,", Рече Стивен Espinoza, Извршен потпретседател & 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 Април 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 Јан. 16 кога Vyacheslav Glazkov suffered a knee injury in the third round of their vacant world title fight. In capturing the IBF belt, Мартин, на св. Луис, П, 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 секунди. The 29-year-old Martin, who is trained by U.S. Олимпиец Henry Tillman in Big Bear, Калифорнија., 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. Во неговата последна рунда, 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 Декември. 12. Сега, Joshua returns to The O2, the site of his professional debut and five of his 15 професионални борби, in a bid to join Тајсон бес 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 Џорџ Форман, Eо Фрејзер, Ленокс Луис иВладимир Кличко.

Роден во Бари, Велс, Selby won his world title with a dominant technical decision over previously undefeated Evgeny Gradovich Мај 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 Џоел Brunker, Рајан Волш, Виорел Симон, Corey McConnell иStephen 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.

Ловец, who will take a four-fight win streak into his initial start outside the U.S., has always possessed an abundance of talent. Before turning pro, the Philadelphia native was an outstanding amateur and an alternate on the U.S. Олимписки тим.

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 против Mike Oliver for hitting at the break. The other came againstLuis Franco во 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 Лео Санта Круз и Гери Расел Џуниор. as U.S.-born world champion at 126 фунти.

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE SATURDAY TO BECOME 12th CURRENT BRITISH WORLD CHAMPION ON SHO EXTREME® FROM MANCHESTER,АНГЛИЈА

ЊУЈОРК (Декември. 19, 2015) – Billy Joe Saunders dethroned WBO Middleweight World Champion Енди Ли with a 12-round majority decision Saturday on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL од Манчестер, Англија.

 

Борбата, кој беше постигнат 115-111, 114-112 и 113-113, will re-air tonight at 9 вечер. И/ПТ на SHO EXTREME.

 

In a matchup of tactical southpaws, an explosive third round from Saunders (23-0, 12 КО) was the difference. The British challenger floored Lee twice – first with a big right hook and again with a counter right just 30 seconds later – and a dazed Lee somehow survived the 10-7 круг. Видео нагласува: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe

 

The Irish Lee (34-3-1, 24 КО) fought his way back and was the more aggressive fighter in the championship rounds, but it wasn’t enough to make up for a slow start and the two knockdowns.

 

Со победа, Saunders became the 12та current British world champion.

 

“I’m world champion,” Saunders said. “I beat a good champion today, a good sturdy champion. I used his power against him. When I was boxing he got a little bit careless and dropped his lead hand and I caught him with the hook.

 

“I’m not going to start running my mouth, but it was a good shot. With someone as fast as me you have to keep your hands up. I’m not the biggest puncher in the world, but I showed you there that I can punch.”

 

ВБА средна светски првак Даниел Џејкобс, fresh off a first round knockout of Петар Quillin two weeks ago on SHOWTIME, was a guest analyst во саботата from New York.

 

“I thought he was going to be a big brawler, I thought he had better assets,” Jacobs said of Lee. “He didn’t do enough for me. He was too complacent and after the knockdown you didn’t see that sense of urgency that a fighter has to have on the comeback trail.

 

“All credit due to Billy Joe, but it wasn’t an impressive victory.”

 

After watching the fight, Jacobs wasn’t ready to commit to a unification showdown in 2016 with the winner.

 

“We’ll do whatever makes sense,” Jacobs said. “I think it’s time to sit-down and figure what makes sense. Obviously it’s a good time to be a middleweight champion.”

На Showtime бокс МЕЃУНАРОДНИ приносот наBoxNation telecast will feature analysis from SHOWTIME boxing experts Брајан Custer, Ал Бернштајн и Paulie Malignaggibefore and after the world championship showdown. An encore presentation of the bout will air on SHO EXTREME later that evening at 9 вечер. И/Португалија.

 

Here’s what Lee and Saunders had to say at their media workouts on Tuesday and Понеделник, соодветно:

 

ANDY LEE:

“I have a punch that can end a fight, lights out, in any given second.

 

“I won’t rely on the punch. I will look to dominate from the start with educated pressure.

 

“I’m feeling very dangerous at the moment.

 

“Saunders’ unbeaten record is a disadvantage. He’s always been in fights he’s expected to win and has been well managed by(Франк) Ворен.

 

“I’ve never lost a fight on points and I never will on points. If I’m down on the cards I will go out swinging in the last round.

 

“Saunders being a fellow traveler does add another layer, but at the end the day it’s about how good you are and he’s not good enough to beat me.”

 

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS:

“I’m ready to go for Сабота ноќ. This is the best camp that I’ve ever had. I’m prepared for the toughest test of my career, but I know that I’m in excellent shape to win this fight and become world champion.

 

“Andy Lee is a tough fighter – he’s proved that by becoming world champion and having the type of career he has had. But I’m undefeated and hungry and know that I’m on the brink of fulfilling a childhood dream. I’m not going to leave that ring without the title.

 

“Training in Spain allows me to lock myself away from all distractions and focus solely on the fight. It’s hard being away from home, but it’s all part of boxing. It’s been a long camp, a tough camp, but after that I know that I’m ready to go through hell to make sure that I’m successful come fight night.

 

“The middleweight division is one of the hottest around and I’m prepared to fight any of the other champions in there once I win the title.

 

"Danny Џејкобс had a great win against Петар Quillin, and then there is Canelo (Алварез) и (Генадиј) Golovkin. I know the importance of this fight for the division and I want my name to be among the very best. I’m taking it one step at a time, but I’m open to fight anyone.

 

“There has been no trash talk with Andy because we know what each person is about. We share a similar background and neither of us is going to take a back step.

 

“This is going to be a very exciting all-action fight because we’re going to leave it all in the ring. I know I have the skills to beat him and I intend to show the world why I’m among the best around.”

 

Saunders on fellow Brit Крис Eubank Џуниор.:

“The truth of the matter is that Eubank Jr. does not belong at the world level – he’s a phony. Тоа е толку едноставно како што. I wasn’t impressed with his win over Гери О’Саливен, who I’ve already beat. He thinks he can fool the public with a win like that, but he can’t.

 

“His aim now is to move up and fight the best guys in the world, but we saw what happened the last time he stepped up a notch and faced me: he was badly exposed. The same thing will happen with him if he fights someone like Danny Jacobs for the WBA title.

 

“You’re not the best middleweight in your own country and you want to fight a world champion and say you’re going to beat him? I think it’s a delusion and he thinks he’s greater than he actually is.

 

“Sooner rather than later he’s going to get exposed again as the fraud that he is. You can keep talking, but eventually you have to back it up in the ring against top-level fighters. He’s won his last fight and now he’s back talking (дополнителен) again like he’s the best fighter in history.

 

“If he has the balls to fight again, which I doubt, I would happily hand him another beating, this time in even more convincing fashion.”
