24-De jarige Santiago heeft sindsdien geen gevecht verloren 2014 (gaand 13-0-4, 7 KO) en heeft carrière gemaakt door zijn favoriete tegenstanders te verrassen, vaak in hun achtertuin. De bekwame Santiago kwam voor het eerst op de boksradar door te strijden om een ​​gelijkspel van 10 ronden met de toen ongeslagen kandidaat Antonio Nieves voor het NABO-kampioenschap.. Live vechten op ShoBox: The New Generation, Santiago nam de controle over de achterste helft van het gevecht en velen zeggen dat ze de beslissing verdienden.


Sindsdien, hij heeft gevochten voor twee controversiële gelijkspel tegen de zeer gewaardeerde Puerto Ricaanse Jose Martinez (beide gevechten in de achtertuin van Martinez in Puerto Rico), de tweede voor het NABO Super Flyweight Championship.


In September 2018, Santiago had zijn meest indrukwekkende prestatie tot nu toe door opnieuw te vechten voor een zeer controversiële gelijkspel, deze keer tegen de al lang regerende en verdedigende IBF Super Flyweight Wereldkampioen Jerwin Ancajas. Veel insiders in het boksen die het gevecht hebben gezien, vinden dat Santiago nu de ongekroonde wereldkampioen is, met één rechter die zelfs het gevecht scoorde 118-111 voor Santiago.


Santiago weet dat hij moet blijven winnen terwijl hij zijn tijd afwacht voor een welverdiende rematch tegen Ancajas of een andere wereldtitel kans op bantamgewicht.


“Ik ben erg opgewonden om mijn eerste verdediging van de WBC International Bantamweight-titel te maken,”Zei Santiago. “Ik weet dat mijn tegenstander erg taai is en ik weet dat hij zich voorbereidt op de kans van zijn leven. Dat vind ik leuk! Op die manier zijn er geen excuses. Ik heb een geweldig kamp gehad en ik ben er klaar voor! Er zijn nog maar twee weken tot de strijd, en ik kan haast niet wachten om te bewijzen waarom ik door de WBC op de achtste plaats in de wereld sta!"


Een zeer levende underdog in deze intrigerende strijd, 30-De jarige Garcia is ongeslagen in zijn laatste 10 prijsvragen. Na het winnen van zijn profdebuut, Garcia viel tegen 0-3-0 (1 NC) in zijn volgende vier, voordat je dingen omdraait en weggaat 9-0-1 (4 KO), inclusief een indrukwekkend unaniem besluit over voormalig wereldkampioen titel uitdager Dewayne Beamon in zijn laatste gevecht in februari van dit jaar.


“Ik weet dat dit de kans van je leven is,”Zei Garcia. “Winnen opent deuren voor mij. Camp gaat geweldig! Ik heb geweldige sparring gehad en ik ben in de beste vorm van mijn leven! Ik hoop dat Santiago er klaar voor is, want dit gaat een oorlog worden! Ik ga hem het hele gevecht laten vechten! Zijn promotor maakte een grote fout en gaf me meer dan twee maanden om me voor te bereiden en ik heb hem al verteld dat ik hem knock-out zal slaan!"


In het 10-ronden co-main event van de avond, populaire geboorteplaatsveteraan Victor "Chucky" Sandoval (33-3, 21 KO) zal het opnemen tegen mede-Mexicaan Kevin “Desvalagado” Villanueva (16-2-3, 12 KO) voor het WBC International Super Flyweight Championship.


23--jarige Sandoval, al een zevenjarige professionele veteraan, is een favoriet bij fans in zijn geboorteplaats Tijuana. "Chucky" heeft gewonnen 21 rechte gevechten, daterend uit 2016. Hij werd voor het laatst gezien door een onderbreking van de achtste ronde van landgenoot Javier Alejandro Rendon te scoren (vervolgens 10-3-3) in november vorig jaar.


“Ik ben ongelooflijk dankbaar voor deze kans,”Zei Sandoval. “Ik weet dat het een ongelooflijk goed gevecht gaat worden, want ik heb een goede tegenstander. We bereiden ons zeer sterk voor op deze strijd, ondanks de uitdagingen sinds de meeste sportscholen zijn gesloten. Ik hou van boksen, toon mijn vaardigheden, maar ik hou ook van vechten. Ik bereid me voor om de fans een geweldig gevecht te geven en als overwinnaar uit de strijd te komen!"


20--jarige Villanueva, van Guasave, Sinaloa, heeft slechts één gevecht verloren in zijn laatste 16. Een sterke puncher met een agressieve stijl. Sinds pro het draaien in 2017, Villanueva heeft uitsluitend in Mexico gevochten, maar hoopt een overwinning op Sandoval te gebruiken als springplank naar het internationale podium.


“Ik ben extatisch over deze kans,”Zei Villanueva. “Het betekent een enorme stap voorwaarts in mijn carrière. We werken keihard en ik heb een trainer die me tot het uiterste drijft. Kom september 21, Ik zal bereid zijn om te geven en te nemen, en ik twijfel er niet aan dat ik er als beste uit zal komen! Hij heeft een grote staat, maar hij heeft niemand op mijn niveau bevochten. Mijn doel is om wereldkampioen te worden. "


Ook gepland voor die avond is een fantastische vroege kruispuntgevecht tussen opkomende Mexicaanse vooruitzichten als de steeds beter wordende Cristian "Lacandonsito" Cruz. (12-5, 6 KO), de zoon van voormalig IBO en IBF kampioen vedergewicht Cristóbal "Lacandón" Cruz, zal het opnemen tegen de eens verslagen Diego "FlaKO" Aleman (12-1-1, 8 KO) in een acht-ronde super vedergewicht oorlog. Dit gevecht, tussen all-action battlers, heeft potentieel "Fight of the Night" overal geschreven.


“Ik ben gefocust en klaar voor deze strijd,”Zei Cristian Cruz. “Mijn tegenstander heeft in de ring gestaan ​​met een paar goede vechters, maar ik ook. Toen ik de naam van mijn tegenstander hoorde, Ik werd erg gemotiveerd omdat ik weet dat dit een van mijn moeilijkste gevechten tot nu toe gaat worden. "

ROCHESTER, N.Y.. (Augustus. 20, 2016) – Undefeated heavyweight prospect Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller won by third-round TKO over veteran Fred Kassi in the ShoBox: The New Generation main event, Vrijdag, live op SHOW TIME from Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, N.Y..

 

Following a cagey first round that favored Kassi (18-5-1, 10 KO), Brooklynite Miller (18-0-1, 16 KO), turned up the body work and pressure in rounds two and three. After landing 36-of-57 power shots in the third and racking up 30 connects to the body, Kassi retired on the stool between rounds, citing a hand injury. Miller landed an impressive 57 percent of his power shots for the fight and limited Kassi to 22 percent of his hooks, crosses and uppercuts.

 

Kassi said after the fight that his right hand was injured in the second and pushed through the pain for one more round before giving in.

 

The 6-foot-4, Miller viciously attacked the body and delivered some big rights and combinations. Kassi had some moments where he out-boxed his opponent, but Miller’s power and size—a possible 50+-pound advantage—was the deciding factor. Met deze overwinning, “Big Baby” ups his winning streak to 14 straight.

 

“I knew it would take some time to get going vanavond. I was thinking maybe three or four rounds to warm up and get going. But in the second round, I got my wind and I knew I hurt him,” said Miller, who is ranked among the top 10 heavyweights in three of the four sanctioning bodies. “My legs came alive and I touched his body and his head. I knew I was going to get the stoppage.

 

“I think he could have continued, hoewel. He just didn’t want to. That’s why I take my hat off to Deontay Wilder. I still want to break his jaw, but he finished his fight with a broken hand. That’s what champions do. Kassi didn’t want to continue.

 

“Let’s talk about all these heavyweights. Tyson Fury, he doesn’t want this work. He’s always complaining. He’s always sick or something. I don’t know what’s wrong with him. Wilder, every five minutes he breaks another finger. Kijk, it’s just a matter of time before these guys are going to have to put up or shut up. Anthony Joshua, that’s going to be a mega fight. I am just begging for him to call my name.”

 

Kassi said, “I must have hurt my hand in the first round because in the second, every time I hit him I felt a shock. I wanted to keep going but he’s a big guy and I couldn’t use my hand. When you fight a guy that is 50 pounds heavier than you are, you need all the weapons.”

“The size difference and the strength difference was so enormous,” said SHOWTIME Boxing’s veteran analyst Steve Farhood. “Once Miller started rolling, it was clear that Kassi had no answers. Kassi had been nimble and he slid off the ropes a few times in round one. That was gone in round 2. Zo, perhaps in some people’s eyes, this win is cheapened by the injury, but to me it was clear that Big Baby was on his way to doing what more advanced heavyweights like Dominic Breazeale and Chris Arreola couldn’t do, and that’s stop Fred Kassi.

“Bottom line, Jarrell Miller’s stock went up vanavond. He faced his toughest test and he passed it.”

In de co-main event, promising Louisiana lightweight “Rock Hard Mighty” Mason Menard scored a brutal knockout at 2:26 of the ninth-round over battled-testedBaha mamadjonov, winning the WBO NABO Lightweight belt. VIDEO HIGHLIGHT:http://s.sho.com/2b6MNPF

 

Both Menard and Mamadjonov were facing their most dangerous foe to date. Mamadjonov (18-3, 11 KO), showed great ring generalship successfully keeping Menard’s output down for the first six rounds, but Menard (32-1, 24 KO) dramatically turned the fight around with body shots that produced two knockdowns in the seventh. A slow eighth-round followed but the ninth brought another series of power shots leading to the third and final knockdown, prompting referee Steve Smoger to intervene and halt the contest.

At the time of the stoppage Menard, who out-landed Mamadjonov 10-0 in the bout’s final 26 seconden, was ahead by two points on two scorecards and four points on the third.

"Ik voel me geweldig, but it was a B-level performance from me,” said Menard who is coming from a knockout-of-the-year candidate, “I could have done better. My opponent was an awkward fighter and we got him with two weeks’ notice.

“I knew if I kept putting the pressure, slowly he would fade and I would take him out in the later rounds and that’s exactly how it happened. He was hurting to the body. I knew after the first couple rounds he was breathing really heavy, so the game plan was to start touching him to the body. It was affecting him greatly.

“I’m definitely excited to get my second SHOWTIME knockout and I got some rounds under my belt. It’s been years since I went that many rounds, so it was good to know I can go that long and still finish strong.”

“I don’t really know what went wrong,” said Mamadjonov, who is known for his high boxing IQ. “It was short notice and I think I lost too much weight.

“I didn’t feel his punches, but he caught me with some good body shots. I was fighting evenly with him until the weight loss caught up to me and I got tired.

“I feel ok now. Ik ben goed. I am disappointed but I’m fine. I’ll be back.”

NABO Bantamweight Champion Antonio Nieves, Cleveland, Ohio and Tijuana’s Alexander Santiago battled to a 10-round split draw (96-94 Nieves, 96-94 Santiago and 95-95) in the second fight of the ShoBox quadrupleheader.

Nieves, (16-0-2, 8 KO), remains undefeated, but Santiago’s (11-2-2, 3 KO) boxing ability clearly caught him off guard. The first five rounds featured brisk long-range boxing that was incredibly even. Santiago, a late-sub for Nikolay Potapov, appeared to pull away in rounds 6-10 as he out-landed Nieves 129-86 overall en 100-61 in power punches.

Winning the late rounds was not enough for Santiago, who was stepping up in weight and opposition. Judge Don Ackerman had Nieves ahead 96-94 while Eric Marlinski had it 96-94 voor Santiago. Pasquale Procopio’s 95-95 card proved pivotal. Given Santiago’s second-half surge, the Mexican visitor was unlucky not to get the win.

“I thought it was close, but I think I pulled it out,” said Nieves. “I should have gotten the victory by maybe one or two points. But the judges see what they saw, weet je?

“I do not feel I put on the impressive performance I was hoping to. I wasn’t at my best. Hij (Santiago) was a little awkward and my right hand was hurting a little bit, but I really don’t know why I wasn’t letting my hands go like I usually do.

“I learned I have to stick to my game plan and keep using my jab. I didn’t use it like I usually do. I need to just do what I do and not worry about what my opponent is doing.

“I don’t think nerves had anything to do with it, even though it was the biggest fight of my career. I was just letting him get off first. I should have followed my game plan, rather than react to what he was doing. I give myself a C for my performance vanavond."

Santiago, who came as a late replacement and was clearly the underdog, also felt he won the fight.

“It was close, but I think I won the fight. I was always sure I’d beat him and I did. I landed more punches,”Zei Santiago. “I thought Nieves would be stronger than he was in there.

“I usually fight at super flyweight. I was coming up in weight to do this. It was an opportunity to open more doors for me and I took it. And I think that’s what I didvanavond."

In de opening aanval van de uitzending, ongeslagen weltergewicht Bakhtiyar Eyubovvan Brooklyn, N.Y., by way of Kazakhstan won a close 10-round split decision—that could have gone either way—against veteran Karim Mayfield of San Francisco, Calif. (95-94 twice for Eyubov and 95-94 for Mayfield).

Yeyubov (11-0, 10 KO), who had never been past the third round, was taken to uncharted waters by the more experienced Mayfield (19-4-1, 11 KO). Mayfield extended Eyubov far longer than any other opponent and despite out-landing the adoptive Brooklynite in each of the final four rounds (110-80 overall en 87-66 vermogen) Eyubov escaped with a split decision. It was a learning victory for Eyubov and a disheartening loss for Mayfield, who averaged 69 punches per round to Eyubov’s 52.

“I felt it was close, but I did everything I wanted to do and I feel I won nearly every round,” said Eyubov. “I was surprised by Mayfield, especially how hard his head is. He is a real man.

“My lip is a little swollen but that’s because of headbutts. Mayfield fought dirty in there. But I’m happy with the decision. I learned that I can go 10 rounds if I have to. Ik kon gaan 12. I was still strong at the end of the fight.

Mayfield, who was clearly disappointed with the result, felt he won the fight.

“It was a good fight and he’s a tough fighter for sure, but I landed the harder shots and kept active. Hij was een stoere vent, begrijp me niet verkeerd, but I certainly won that fight,” said Mayfield. “I feel I performed well. There’s always more work you can do, but for the most part I feel I did good. People thought for some odd reason the fight wouldn’t even go the distance, which is ludicrous. I won the fight though.

“It was part of my game plan to frustrate him and I feel I did that. I executed my plan well. Natuurlijk, there was more I could have done. I could have thrown more punches, but I did well.

“They made it seem like he punched like hell, but I guess all punches feel hard to me, so if you’re a hard puncher or a light puncher, it’s still a punch and I don’t want to get punched. I got hit but I was never stunned or anything like that.

“I would love a rematch.”

Eyubov responded, “I don’t know if I would fight him again. I will think about it.”

ShoBox: The New Generation will re-air on Maandag, Augustus. 22 bij 10 p.m. EN/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME beginning Saturday, Augustus. 20.

Tickets for the event presented by Salita Promotions and Greg Cohen Promotions are available at http://www.rhinossoccer.met /en http://www.etix.com

“These are the fights I need to get to the top,” Menard said. 'Mijn tegenstander, Baha mamadjonov, is geen lachertje. He has been in with some quality guys and I have to be able to beat guys like him to get to the top ones. I’m looking forward to getting the job done on August 19th. It’s blessing to be able to fight on SHOWTIME and this time is for the WBO NABO title,” Menard said.”

“I’m excited I’m fighting on ShoBox opnieuw. It’s a great opportunity” Mamadjonov said. “Menard is no joke. He’s a credible opponent.

“I’m not going to rush on this fight. I’m not going to lie, I’m always looking for the knockout, but if it goes the distance I’d be ready.”

“I’m war-ready,” Nieves said. “I’m excited to finally showcase my skills on the big stage and let the boxing world know that I have graduated to contender. I feel many don’t see that I’m one of the best 118-pounders out there.

“I’m confident I have what it takes to win, and I’m a better boxer. Ik ben 100 percent ready for whatever type of fight my Santiago brings. I will box my way to my big shots.

“After this fight, I’ll probably look for a path to a world title shot. I want to bring a title home, just like the Cleveland Cavaliers brought the NBA Championship home,"

“I know I’m a replacement opponent, but I’m always ready,” Santiago said. “I’m always in training camp. I don’t take any breaks from the gym after I fight. I’m a true Mexican warrior. Always ready.

“I am looking to follow the heritage of great Mexican fighters from Tijuana and bring this win and title back home. I am coming to win. Get ready for war.“

Menard vs. Mamadjonov

The co-main event features promising Louisiana lightweight “Rock Hard Mighty” Mason Menard facing his toughest test to date in Bahodir “Baha” Mamadjonov of Houston, Texas by way of Uzbekistan for the WBO NABO Lightweight Title. Both fighters are making their second appearance onShoBox: The New Generation.

Menard, an eight-year pro at the age of 27, is fighting outside of his native Louisiana for only the second time. He’s is ranked among the Top 15 fighters at 135 pounds in the WBA and WBO. In the most noteworthy victory of his career, he made his ShoBox debut at Turning Stone Casino & Resort last April 15 delivering an impressive Knockout of the Year candidate over previously undefeated Dominican Eudy Bernardo with a vicious one-punch knockout. VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1NtEYjW

Menard floored Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round. Bernardo beat the count and finished the round, but he had no answer for Menard’s power. With less than one minute left in third, Menard connected with a huge right, knocking Bernardo out before he even hit the canvas.

Mamadjonov (19-2, 11 KO), has been matched against very tough opposition throughout his career. His only blemishes were to opponents with a combined record of 46-0 (38 KO) – Colombiaans Darleys Perez in Aug., 2012 and Ghana’s Richard Commey in April of last year. Perez went on to become interim WBA Lightweight World Champion and recently lost a rematch against world champion Anthony Crolla. Commey is set to fight Robert Pasen Jr. for the vacant IBF World Lightweight Title on Zeven. 9.

This is Mamadjonov’s third start since losing to Commey and his secondShoBox verschijning. In zijn ShoBox debuut in april, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nev., Mamadjonov scored an upset ninth-round stoppage (:51) against previously unbeaten Cuban prospect Angelo Santana. VIDEO:http://s.sho.com/2aPfkwp

Nieves vs. Santiago

Also featured in the Aug. 19 quadrupleheader are WBO NABO Bantamweight Champion Antonio Nieves and his new foe, Alejandro “Peque” Santiago

Nieves, (16-0-1, 8 KO), a prospect at 118 pond, has stayed active with five fights in 2014, five in 2015, and is fighting for the third time this year. The 29-year-old is coming off his first 10-round performance, a unanimous decision over then once-beaten Oscar Mojica op Juni 18 in Washington, Vader. A win against Santiago will put Nieves a step closer to his goal of challenging fellow Ohio-native WBA Super Bantamweight Champion Rau'shee Warren.

Santiago, (11-2-1, 3 KO), van Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, is a three-year pro who seldom breaks training camp between fights. He has won three fights in a row since his last loss in November 2014 to fellow Mexican Hector Flores. In zijn laatste gevecht op Februari. 27, Santiago won an eight-round unanimous decision over Mario Lara. This will be his United States debut and the first time he’s fought north of 116 pond.
