LOS ANGELES (Settembre 29, 2019) – Errol “La Verità” Spence Jr. (26-0, 21 KO) unified the IBF and WBC Welterweight World Titles Saturday night against two-time champion “Orario Dello Spettacolo” Shawn Porter (30-3-1,17 KO) in an action packed main event of a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles.

“It feels good to win,” said Spence. “This is a lifetime dream. It shows hard work pays off. Thanks Shawn Porter, my whole team and all my Texas people for coming out.”

The back and forth brawl immediately garnered well-deserved Fight of the Year conversation as the two welterweight champions traded power punches from the opening bell to the end. Porter showed his trademark aggressive style throughout the action, smothering Spence while throwing his own power punches.

“Shawn Porter is a rough and awkward fighter,” said Spence. “I didn’t get off what I wanted to. He’s a true champion. He made it tough.”

That left it up to Spence to weather the oncoming storm and find spots to land power punches of his own. Secondo Compubox, Spence landed 44% dei suoi pugni di potenza, a 25% from Porter.

“He’s a strong kid,” disse Porter. “We both came in to do the job. I think I had a little more than what he expected, but he handled it. Congratulations to him and his team. We’re proud of what we did.”

In quarto round, Porter had Spence in some trouble, as his power shots to the head and body put Spence on the defensive. The strategy from Porter stayed the same throughout, as Spence began to adjust and find a home for his offense, especially the sweeping left hook.

Round eight saw the action taken up to yet another level as Spence initially got the worst of one of the numerous exchanges, before settling in and responding enough to keep Porter at bay. The high-octane fight continued to entertain heading into the championship rounds with the fight up in the balance.

Spence landed one of the decisive blows of the bout in round 11, connecting flush with that sweeping left hook and scoring a knockdown when Porter’s knee and glove hit the canvas. As expected, Porter rebounded strong, going at Spence and putting him on the back foot for most of the remainder of the round.

“I think that knockdown was the difference,” disse Porter. “I couldn’t come back to the corner with my head down after that.”

The final round was more of the same, with both fighters going toe-to-toe and leaving the STAPLES Center crowd on their feet and roaring until the final bell. The final punch stats saw both men throw nearly an equal number of punches, with Spence edging Porter 745 a 744 in punches thrown and 221 a 172 in punches landed.

“All my punches have bad intentions,” said Spence. “By boxing Mikey Garcia, I wanted to show people I could do it with that style. Porter was throwing a lot. I wanted to show I was the bigger and stronger welterweight.”

Dopo 12 rounds the close nature of the fight yielded a split decision from the judges. One judge saw the fight 115-112 for Porter, overruled by two judges who saw it 116-111 for Spence. In the ring after the fight, Spence was confronted and called out by former two-division champion Danny Garcia for a potential showdown next.

“It was a top dog fight tonight,” ha detto Garcia. “I want you next Errol. It was a tough rugged fight. Shawn Porter is a tough fighter. I’m here to say I want next.”

“My how the tables have turned,” said Spence. “I’ve told my team, you line them up, I’ll knock them down.”

Spence vs. Porter highlights di qua, di qua, di qua e di qua.

The pay-per-view co-main event saw unbeaten David “La bandiera rossa” Benavidez(22-0, 19 KO) regain the WBC Super Middleweight World Championship from two-time champion Anthony “The Dog” Dirrell (33-2-1, 24 KO) with a ninth-round TKO victory.

“Everything just fell in place perfectly,” said Benavidez. “From the suspension to all the big fights I’ve been in. All of that helped me out in this fight. I did not make a mistake or open myself up more than I needed to. I worked behind my jab and got the stoppage. Things are going to get better and get tougher and I’m ready for the challenge.”

The fight followed a similar pattern throughout, with Benavidez stalking his opponent looking to unload power shots, while Dirrell circled the ring looking to counter and keep him at bay with his jab.

Benavidez stayed in control through the early rounds, until Dirrell turned the tables momentarily in round four trying to batter Benavidez against the ropes, but he was unable to daze the 22-year-old.

In round six Benavidez broke through with a critical moment in the fight, landing a punch that opened up a cut over Dirrell’s right eye. With the blood pouring, the cut was immediately a problem for Dirrell, who now had limited vision to stop the incoming assault.

“He hit me with a clean shot,” , ha detto Dirrell. “That’s my first time ever being cut by a punch. It opened up. There was nothing I could do about it. I couldn’t see the whole fight after that. My corner did a good job on it, but I really couldn’t see.”

Despite having his cut checked by the ringside physician in rounds six, seven and eight, Dirrell was able to use his veteran savvy to stay in the fight. As the fight went to round nine Benavidez increased his offense, slowing Dirrell down enough where he could tee off with power punches in the corner.

As Dirrell tried to navigate away from Benavidez’s offense, he began to take take more punishment and looked shaky on his feet. Referee Thomas Taylor officially stopped the fight 1:39 nel turno, at the direction of Dirrell’s corner. Benavidez ended the fight with a 165 a 94 advantage in punches landed, with the biggest margin coming from his 101 power shots landed to just 41 from Dirrell.

“There are so many emotions coming at me at once,” said Benavidez. “We put so much hard work into this training camp. We left home and were away from everything. But I had the dream to become the youngest two-time super middleweight world champion and I made my dreams come true.”

“I would have kept going in there,” , ha detto Dirrell. “I’m not quitting against anybody. Everyone saw I didn’t go down. My legs were still strong, but I couldn’t do anything about it.

“We’re going back to the drawing board. I’m still fighting. We won’t end on a loss. You can put anybody in there with me.”

Watch highlights of Dirrell vs. Benavidez di qua, di qua e di qua.

Additional action saw undefeated Mario “L'azteco” Quartieri (25-0, 16 KO) score a close unanimous decision victory over Batyr Akhmedov (7-1, 6 KO) to capture the WBA Super Lightweight title in an action packed fight.

“I knew this was going to be a war,” Detto Barrios. “He was getting dirty in there but the Mexican warrior in me was not going to let this opportunity pass me by. I dug deep and got the victory.”

The action began with Akhmedov trying to get inside against his taller opponent, while Barrios looked to move and punish Akhmedov with pot shots from the outside. In quarto round, Barrios connected with a combo that stunned Akhmedov before Barrios followed up and scored a knockdown when Akhmedov’s glove touched the canvas.

“The plan was to gradually grow the activity,” said Akhmedov. “I knew that I had to win by a wide margin. After the first knockdown, I knew that I had to add activity more quickly than I had planned. So I started being more aggressive. I did everything I could to try to stop him.”

After surviving the round, Akhmedov picked up the aggression and began effectively closing the space down between his opponent. He began to land numerous clean left and right hooks that put Barrios on the defensive.

As the championship rounds neared, Barrios began to experience severe swelling in his left eye amidst the onslaught from Akhmedov. In the final round, Barrios was able to turn the tide back in his favor late in the frame. He delivered a pinpoint right hand that stunned Akhmdov and again forced him to put a glove on the mat.

After the knockdown, the fight went to the judges scores, who saw the fight 116-11, 115-11 e 114-112, tutti a favore di Barrios. The relentless pursuit after the first knockdown from Barrios ended with him holding a 238 a 135 advantage in punches landed, but it was not enough to sway the judges on this night.

“I promised my city of San Antonio that I would bring this title back home and I did it,” Detto Barrios.

“The judges see better than I can from the ring,” said Akhmedov. “I did everything I could. Ho pensato che ho vinto la battaglia. They decided that he won the fight. When I watch the fight I’ll be able to tell you what it looked like. My job is to do everything to win. The judges are supposed to judge correctly.

“I tried to do everything I could. I was told that I wouldn’t be able to handle his experience, but he was on the ropes most of the fight. I beat him up and I thought I won the fight.”

The opening bout of the pay-per-view saw Josesito “The Riverside Rocky” Lopez (37-8, 20 KO) knock out John Molina Jr. (30-9, 24 KO) in the eighth round of their welterweight fight.

“We both carry power in our hands so it wasn’t a surprise someone went down,” , ha detto Lopez. “It easily could have happened to me with the power he has. I was able to catch him early, find openings and get the finish.”

Lopez landed a critical blow on his first punch of the night, snapping off an overhand right that connected flush with Molina and put him on the canvas early in the first round. Lopez was patient following up and eventually landed a vicious body shot that put Molina down for the second time in the round.

Molina was able to rise to his feet and make it to the second round, and showed flashes that he might be able to change the tide of the fight. He slowed Lopez’s attack down in round two with a vicious combination of right and left hooks to the head.

“You can never take the fight out of a fighter,” Ha detto Molina. “I have a never say die attitude and I have my whole career. E 'stata una dura lotta, but the better man won tonight.”

“I knew he wasn’t going to quit,” , ha detto Lopez. “E 'un guerriero. I had to keep on the pressure. I was thinking that hopefully the ref and the team made the right call to finish it at the right time.”

Lopez stayed patient however and jabbed while looking to set up the right hand that had knocked Molina down in the first. In round seven Lopez broke through again, this time landing a perfect straight right hand that put Molia on the canvas late in the round.

After a long look from the ringside physician and his own corner, Molina tried to take his chance at a fight-changing punch in the eighth round. Early in the round, Lopez was able to land several big power shots that prompted referee Ray Corona to stop the bout 39 secondi nel turno.

“I wanted to keep going at the end,” Ha detto Molina. “I thought I was still coherent and could still move well. But you can’t go against what the referees say.”

“There’s a lot more ‘Riverside Rocky’ sinistra,” , ha detto Lopez. “Robert Garcia has turned my career around. I’m a race car and like NASCAR, I’ve got a whole team behind me. I’m a top 10-level fighter. I’m going to give any fighter and any world champion a run for their money. I want memorable fights and I want the best.”

Watch Lopez drop Molina in round one di qua and round seven di qua.

The main event of prelims on FS1 saw former three-time world champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerriero (36-6-1, 20 KO) earn a unanimous decision victory over Jerry Thomas (14-2-1, 8 KO) in their 10-round welterweight fight.

The early rounds were strategic, as Thomas relied on his movement while Guerrero looked to fire jabs patiently until he found opportunities for his power punches. Round three saw action jump up a bit as Guerrero landed a big straight left that pushed Thomas hard back into the ropes.

“I got some rounds in tonight, which was valuable,” , ha detto Guerrero. “We got what we needed and boxed our way to victory.”

Guerrero continued to stalk Thomas and attack the body as his opponent spent most of the fight set on circling the ring. Tuttavia, in round nine, Thomas upped the presser and closed the distance on Guerrero. He landed numerous power shots that put Guerrero on the back foot.

It was Thomas’ best round of the fight, but he was unable to put Guerrero down or out and after 10 rounds the fight was in the judges’ mani. All three saw the bout in favor of Guerrero, con il punteggio di 98-92 e 99-91 due volte.

“I want to get back into those bigger fights,” , ha detto Guerrero. “I moved around and stayed smart in there tonight. The goal was to stick to the game plan and I did until the end of the fight, but then I got right back on it. You just have to keep working out the kinks and that’s what I’m going to keep doing.”

In the opening prelims bout, unbeaten top prospect Joey Spencer (9-0, 7 KO) scored a third-round stoppage of previously unbeaten Travis Gambardella (5-1-2, 2 KO) in their super welterweight contest.

Spencer started the action early, leading with power shots while also controlling the distance between him and his opponent. A series of body shots put Gambardella down twice in the first round, although he was able to make it to the closing bell of the frame.

“The body shots weren’t really the plan going in,” said Spencer. “I started off with head shots and he was taking those well. I put one downstairs and I instantly saw it affect him badly. I knew it was a wrap. I was going to keep going to the body.”

Spencer landed a powerful straight right hand to Gambardella’s head early in round two and quickly followed up with a flurry punctuated by another body shot that dropped him for the third time in the fight. Although Spencer looked to close hard, Gambardella was able to fight intelligently and make it through another round.

“I thought the referee was going to stop it in the second round,” said Spencer. “When he let him go I took a deep breath and made sure not to punch myself out. I stuck to my jab and let the rest take care of itself.”

Early into round three, Spencer went back on the attack and connected with a big left hook to Gambardella’s head. Questa volta, referee Ray Corona jumped in and halted the bout 53 secondi nel turno, giving Spencer the TKO victory.

“I’m so happy with the improvements that I was able to show tonight on the big stage,” said Spencer. “I’m really excited for what’s to come.”

I biglietti per l'evento, which is promoted by Man Down Promotions, TGB Promotions and Shawn Porter Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com.

Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from the Wilshire Grand Ballroom II at the Intercontinental Hotel:

ERROL SPENCE JR.

“I feel like all of my fights prepared me for this moment. Porter is not like Mikey Garcia. They have different styles and different mentalities. But there are a lot of distractions fighting at home and I feel like I overcame that to lead me to this point.

“I don’t make anything of the words he’s saying. We train hard and we’re focused and prepared for anything he brings Saturday night.

He’s been talking a lot, his dad’s been talking a lot and I’m going to shut him up. They’re going to call me the “show stopper’ after Saturday night.

“I’ve prepared for everything. It’s all about adjustments. I make them fast in the ring. People thought Kell Brook’s experience would help him but it didn’t at all. I can adjust to my opponent’s style and we will show it Saturday.

“Sono pronto ad andare. I never missed weight and I’m always professional. It’s just hard work and dedication. I’m going to be even more ripped and ready than I was against Mikey Garcia.

“This is going to be an amazing event come Saturday night. I will be the unified champion of the world. Shawn comes to fight and I embrace that. I can’t wait because I promise this is going to be one for the history books.

“I just have to do what I’ve been doing. I don’t care about the rounds as long as it doesn’t go 12.
I’m going to win and do it in dominating fashion.

“It’s important to me to get the knockout. It’s a goal of mine to stop him and I hope to get it done. If can’t get it done, then I’m just going to be comfortable with the victory. But you know I’m looking for the stoppage.”

SHAWN PORTER

“It’s the competitor in me to get at him any way I can. Until that bell rings, we’ll do whatever we need to do to let him know we’re really here to fight him.

“When you’re in there with a top level opponent, it’s supposed to be a close action packed fight. I have everything it takes to make each fight exciting when I step into the ring.

“Everyone has seen everything what I’ve done in my career. Everyone knows I can take a punch and I’ll be there from the first round to the last round. We’ll see what happens to Errol as the fight goes on.

“This is the best camp I’ve ever had. The nutrition and everything has been spot on. I’m ahead of schedule and that’s where I plan to stay. I expect to be eating Friday morning.

“I’m aggressive and I’m strong and guys can’t handle it. There are things that happen in the ring and you just have to move with it. I’m always ready to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

“I expected it to get heated today. I know that if I fire at Errol, he’s going to fire back. That’s how the fights going to be as well. Everyone got a good taste of what you’ll see Saturday.

“Being in the underdog position is literally where I come from. Northeast Ohio is always an underdog. Everybody works where I come from. We always do the best we can.

“The resume is for everyone else to compare and contrast. Per me, it’s all about who’s in front of me. I believe I have the right recipe to be the person to get the job done Saturday. I have the style to challenge him physically and mentally.

“We didn’t change too much of our program heading into this fight. For the second time we went down to Washington, D.C. for part of our camp.”

ANTHONY Dirrell

“The underdog or the favorite I’m always going to ”The Dog’ non importa cosa. People can have their opinion on the odds, but it doesn’t play into my mentality at all for this fight.

“This is a fight that could very well steal the show on this pay-per-view. It’s an honor to be in this position. It’s a dream to be on a card like this defending my title.

“I have to see how it plays out, but age is just a number. You see Manny Pacquiao and fighters like that who went out and beat younger opponents. You have to be determined and still focused on the game.

“Experience is definitely a big key in this fight. I think that he has holes in his game and I’m going to expose it on Saturday night.

“The cut from my last fight won’t be an issue for this one. That fight was over six months ago, so if it’s going to heal, it should be healed. It doesn’t affect anything I’m doing in the ring.

“My training camp in Las Vegas was spectacular. It’s all about taking yourself out of your comfort zone and push yourself to the max to be successful at this elite level.

“I don’t think this fight is going the distance and I know I’m having my hand raised at the end. He got dropped with a jab and I hit harder than Ronald Gavril.”

DAVID BENAVIDEZ

“Sono molto motivato per questa lotta. I feel like I have another opportunity to not just get a title, but take it from a champion. Ho lavorato molto duramente per questa lotta. Dirrell has never been knocked out and I’m taking the challenge to be the man who does it.

“This is the perfect time for this fight. I’m getting stronger every day. Dirrell feels like he has a lot to prove to the fans. So it’s going to be a war as long as it lasts.

This is going to be an amazing card. It’s a stacked card from beginning to end. I want to make a statement and steal the show.

“Dirrell is a great fighter and we’re both ready for what we’re going to do. There’s a respect between us, but I’m going for the knockout. If I don’t, he’s going to get a beating.

“I’m definitely going to make this weight class my home. I have no problem at all making weight. There’s a lot of great fights to be made at super middleweight and we’re going to stay here as long as we can get those fights done.

“A partire da adesso, all of my attention is on Anthony Dirrell. We give him the respect he deserves because he’s a champion at the end of the day. It’s going to take my best to beat him and we’re looking forward to doing it.

“Dirrell has experience, plus some speed and power. He can change from orthodox to southpaw and has a lot of tricks in his book. He’s been in there with some good fighters. But what motivates me the most is that he’s never really been hurt and I want to be the first. I know when I put my hands on somebody, I can hurt them.”

Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from Barry’s Boxing Gym in Las Vegas:

SHAWN PORTER

“Shawn Porter is going to leave the ring with two belts. I’m going to hit him. I’m going to hit him hard and I’m going to do things you’ve never seen anyone do against Errol Spence.

“I’m expecting there to be adversity for Errol. There’s going to be a moment where he realizes he’s losing this fight. He has to be solid psychologically. I don’t know if he’s going to be in the ring. I believe I have the advantage there and that I know how to get into his head.

“I think Errol’s confidence is natural like mine. But I think that he’s fed his confidence to the point where some arrogance has come out. I think he’s going to show that in the fight early on. He’s going to have to adjust. Once he recognizes that, I expect the arrogance to go out the window and that he’ll have to figure it out.

“I’ve never seen Errol go through any adversity in the ring. I don’t think anyone has been able to challenge him the way I can challenge him. Non vedo l'ora di farlo.

“There’s a combination that comes from Shawn Porter that you can’t get anywhere else. It’s the speed, potere, agility and intelligence. You have to make a lot of adjustments on the fly and be ready. I’m hard to prepare for. Spence probably has one or two things that he’s expecting, but it’s not going to go that way.

“I’ve been in Errol’s position before and I know what it’s like to think that all I had to do was show up and be me. I’ve gotten to a point where I realize now that I have to do more.

“I don’t think there’s too much to figure out with Errol. The game plan is to make him make the adjustments. Things don’t always go to plan, but I still think I know what he wants to do in there. He’s not going to give you a lot to adjust to, but what he does do, he’s supreme and he’s great at.

“Southpaws always bring the best out of me. I’m young again. You’re going to see the best Shawn Porter.

“I think Errol has a lot more to lose in this fight. He’s never had to deal with a loss, and most people aren’t expecting him to lose. He’s in the perfect position being considered a top welterweight. But from my perspective, I just have absolutely no intention on losing.”

ANTHONY Dirrell

“This is going to be a good fight. David Benavidez is a warrior and I don’t take anything away from him. But I know that I have all the tools to beat him. He’s never fought someone like me. Everyone he knocked out, he was supposed to knock out.

“I have everything I need in my arsenal. I’m versatile. I can switch it up if I need to. If I need to sit in the pocket, I can. If I need to box, I can. I just don’t think Benavidez is what everyone makes him out to be.

“Io vado per il ko. I go for the knockout in every fight. If it doesn’t happen, I can still go 12 rounds and come out victorious.

“This win would build my legacy. Some people expect me to lose, and I’m happy about that. This just takes my career to another level.

“I’m not looking past this fight. I’m focused on David Benavidez. After this fight I can talk about unification or whatever. Put first I have to take care of David.

“A loss is a loss no matter which way you put it. Whether you lose by a mile or half a round. That’s in the past and we’re only focused on the future. There’s an undefeated 22-year-old fighter trying to take what I’ve got.

“You put all the work in when you’re in the gym, then you have to leave everything in the ring. We trained too hard to not do that. Sono molto fiducioso. Alla fine della giornata, the fans are going to win.

“I’ve seen Benavidez fight before. My coaches have watched him closely and will come up with the game plan. He’s quick, but we’ll be ready.”

ROBERT GUERRERO

“I feel great right now. Everything has been going smoothly and I can’t wait to just go to work out there. All the hard stuff is done, now it’s just maintaining and staying ready.

“I’m excited for this opportunity. I’m well prepared and ready to go. It’s like any other fight. You leave no stone unturned, execute your game plan and do what you have to do to win.

“The fans are going to get what they always get from me. I’m going to come to fight, take care of business and leave everyone with something to remember.

“In a lot of my fights, I just walked guys down. I’ve had guys like Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia fighting just to hang in there, and I wasn’t even fighting to my full potential. I was just walking them down. But my skills are boxing, that’s how I fought at the lighter weights. I got away from what I was good at.”

The Welterweight World Title Takeover Continues!

DI PIÙ! Two-Time Champion Anthony Dirrell will Defend His WBC Super Middleweight Title Against Undefeated Former Champion David Benavidez in the Co-Feature

Biglietti in vendita, Lunedi, Luglio 22 A 12 p.m. PT!

LOS ANGELES (Luglio 20, 2019) – Welterweight world champions collide when IBF Champion Errol “La Verità” Spence Jr. clashes with WBC Champion“Orario Dello Spettacolo” Shawn Porter in a massive 147-pound title unification match headlining a Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View on Saturday, Settembre 28 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The co-feature of the evening will pit WBC Super Middleweight Champion Anthony “The Dog” Dirrell against unbeaten former champion David “La bandiera rossa” Benavidez in an explosive 168-pound showdown.


Tickets for the event go on sale Monday, Luglio 22 a 12 p.m. PT and can be purchased at AXS.com.

“Errol Spence Jr. versus Shawn Porter in a welterweight unification match brings to mind some of the great 147-pound clashes of the past – Sugar Ray Robinson vs. Kid Gavilan, Leonard vs. Hearns or Whitaker vs. Chavez,” ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “Both men are in their primes and both like to apply pressure. With that clash of styles, something has to give. Nella co-feature, Anthony Dirrell doesn’t want to give up the title and David Benavidez wants it back. Played out before an electric crowd at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles and headlining a PBC on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View, this show has instant classic written all over it.”

Spence vs. Porter represents a major step forward in the quest to find the best 147-pound boxer on the planet. Spence has declared that anyone who wants to make that claim will have to come through him. Porter has already faced the some of the biggest names in the division, including Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia, and will make Spence back up his boast.

The unbeaten Spence (25-0, 21 KO) è un giovane, powerful welterweight who vaulted to the top of the welterweight scene with a punishing 11th round knockout victory over Kell Brook for the IBF championship in front of Brook’s hometown fans in Sheffield, England in 2017. Fighting out of Desoto, Texas, Spence has successfully defended the title three times. Most recently he scored a unanimous decision victory over three-division world champion Mikey Garcia in a PBC on FOX Pay-Per-View show before a hometown crowd at AT&Stadio T di Arlington, Texas on March 16.

“E sarà una lotta molto eccitante,” said Spence. “Shawn is never in a boring fight and I always entertain. It will be a ‘Fight of the Year’ type fight because our styles mesh. Shawn Porter is a guy who tries to rough you up. That’s what he’s always done. With Yordenis Ugas he tried to box and he said he didn’t like that style. He said he is going back to his original style. If he brings that style to me, it’s going to be a great fight because I’m going to bring it right back to him.”

The 31-year-old Porter (30-2-1, 17 KO) is a two-time welterweight champion whose high-pressure style has served him well in his rise in the 147-pound division. Born in Akron, Ohio and now living in Las Vegas, Porter won the IBF welterweight title with a unanimous decision victory over Devon Alexander in 2013. He lost the title, which Spence now has, to Kell Brook by a majority decision in 2014. Porter moved back into the championship ranks with a unanimous decision victory over Danny Garcia for the vacant WBC title in 2018. He successfully defended the title with a split decision victory over Yordenis Ugas in March on FOX.

“There haven’t been too many fights as a professional that I’ve been this excited about,” disse Porter. “I was really excited about the Danny Garcia fight and I’m really excited about this one. Ever since Spence got a belt, I really circled this fight on my calendar. Preparation is the key. I think I have everything it takes to beat Errol Spence. I’m very confident and my team is confident in what I have to do on September 28. We’ll be ready.”

Dirrell vs. Benavidez promises to be a hotly contested battle for the WBC Super Middleweight title. Dirrell is a two-time WBC 168-pound world champion and will bring experience, while Benavidez will bring his high-octane style.

The 34-year-old Dirrell (33-1-1, 24 KO) won the WBC title for the first time with a unanimous decision over Sakio Bika in 2014. The native of Flint, Michigan lost the title the next year to Badou Jack by majority decision. He put together six straight victories after that loss to get back into position to fight for the championship again. He won the title with a technical decision victory over Avni Yildirim in February on FS1. Dirrell is the younger brother of Andre Dirrell, who won a bronze medal as a member of the U.S. Olympic boxing team in 2004.

“I’m going to work my butt off, putting in extra hours in the gym, because this is one of the toughest opponents I’ve ever fought,” Dirrell said. “He’s young and he’s tough. But I’m more than ready for anything that he can bring. I bring an exciting fight. He knows that. The world knows that. Egli può parlare, but nothing matters but what happens in the ring. I wanted this fight to be out west because I will fight anybody anywhere. It’s only two people in the ring and we’re going to give a good entertaining fight for the fans.”

Benavidez (21-0, 18 KO) won the WBC title with a split decision victory over Ronald Gavril in 2017. Fighting out of Phoenix, Arizona, Benavidez successfully defended the title with a more convincing unanimous decision over Gavril in the rematch four months later. The 22-year-old returned to the ring to score an impressive knockout victory over veteran J’Leon Love in March on the Spence vs. Garcia PBC on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View.

“I’m looking forward to reclaiming my WBC belt in my next fight against Anthony Dirrell,” said Benavidez. “This fight is overdue and I guarantee I will be ready for whatever he brings to the ring. The fans are really going to enjoy this one.”

MINNEAPOLIS (Febbraio 24, 2019) – Anthony Dirrell (33-1-1, 24 KO) sconfittoAvni Yildirim (21-2, 12 KO)mediante decisione di scissione tecnica (96-94 X 2 per Dirrell, 98-92 per Yildirim) per il vacante WBC Super Middleweight World Championship nell'evento principale dei Premier Boxing Champions su FS1 e FOX Deportes dall'Armory a Minneapolis. L'arbitro Mark Nelson ha interrotto la gara al decimo round a causa di uno scontro accidentale di teste e di un taglio sull'occhio sinistro di Dirrell con la decisione che andava alle scorecard.

“Ero arrabbiato con l'interruzione perché volevo finire la lotta come un campione,” , ha detto Dirrell. “È fantastico riavere la mia cintura WBC. Vogliamo unirci contro Caleb Plant o uno qualsiasi dei campioni. Vado solo a casa, prenditi un po 'di tempo, parla con il mio campo e poi andremo da lì. Se la battaglia di Benavidez viene chiamata, allora lo combatterò.

“Pensavo di vincere questa battaglia con più di quello che avevano i giudici,” ha aggiunto Dirrell. “Lo stavo colpendo e lui stava esercitando una certa pressione, ma è proprio quello che fa. Ho vinto la battaglia però e questo è tutto ciò che conta.”

Nativo di Minneapolis Jamal James (25-1, 12 KO) ha segnato una vittoria ad eliminazione diretta tecnica gradita dal pubblico Janer Gonzalez (19-2-1, 15 KO). A metà della sesta strofa, James sembrava abbandonare Gonzalez con un destro dritto dritto, ma l'arbitro Gary Miezwa lo ha dichiarato uno slittamento. Verso la fine del sesto round, James ha atterrato un altro atterramento e questa volta ha contato e ha ferito Gonzalez. Alla fine del sesto round, Gonzalez è andato al suo angolo e non è mai uscito con la lotta dichiarata interruzione del sesto round poiché Gonzalez non è stato in grado di rispondere alla campana per il settimo round.

“Questa è la migliore folla a cui abbia mai combattuto,” disse James. “Abbiamo imballato questo posto. Mezzo inverno, neve tutt'intorno a noi e sono comunque venuti fuori e hanno mostrato molto supporto. Non riesco nemmeno a spiegare la sensazione di venire qui e fermarmi (Gonzalez). L'unica domanda che ho è dov'è la mia cintura? Sono al terzo posto nella WBA. Keith Thurman ha ottenuto la cintura, Pacquiao ha ottenuto la cintura. Ma in tutta onestà, chiunque mi dia questa opportunità, io intervengo con loro.

“Mi ha dato una grande battaglia, ma alla fine della giornata avevo troppo da offrire e lui non poteva rialzarsi,” ha continuato James. “Ho mantenuto il mio raggio d'azione e sono stato in grado di contrastarlo. E quando stava entrando, stava entrando in modo selvaggio e si stava aprendo per alcuni pezzi grossi che ho potuto sfruttare. La prima volta che è caduto ho pensato che fosse un atterramento legittimo, ma l'arbitro era un buon rif. L'ho sicuramente catturato con una buona combinazione e un brutto colpo al corpo per il secondo atterramento. Dopo di che, Sapevo che gli aveva tolto il resto della lotta e tutto quello che dovevo fare era finire il lavoro.”

“Pensavo che questa fosse una battaglia molto importante per la mia carriera,” Ha detto Gonzalez. “Ero così felice per questa lotta, semplicemente non è andata a modo mio. Combatterò di nuovo, anche se. Ogni combattimento è un'esperienza di apprendimento per me.”

L'incontro di apertura di FS1 e FOX Deportes è stato caratterizzato da una combattuta rivincita traJeison Rosario (18-1-1, 13 KO) e Marcos Hernandez (13-2-1, 3 KO). Nel febbraio del 2018, i due hanno combattuto per un pareggio. Nella rivincita, Rosario è stato in grado di assicurarsi un ko tecnico con l'arbitro Celestino Ruiz che interrompe l'azione 2:45 nel nono fotogramma. Al momento dell'arresto del gioco, Hernandez era in testa alla classifica del giudice Kyle Shiely (77-75) con Rosario in vantaggio sui punteggi dei giudici John Mariano e Tim Taggart (78-74, 77-75).

“Ha abbassato la guardia e ha continuato a fare gli stessi errori,” disse Rosario. “Quando ho visto l'opportunità, L'ho lasciato cadere.

“La prima volta che abbiamo litigato non ero pronto,” ha aggiunto Rosario. “Ero debole. Ma ho imparato dal primo combattimento cosa fare nel secondo. È così che l'ho portato fuori.”

“È stata una lotta serrata che sarebbe potuta andare in entrambi i modi,” Ha detto Hernandez. “Mi ha colpito con un buon tiro. Mi sono alzato e mi sono sentito a posto. Stavo solo cercando di schivare alcuni colpi e mi ha colpito con un sinistro. Stava sparando e avrei dovuto ribattere indietro.

“Penso che l'arbitro abbia interrotto la lotta in anticipo, ma non è il mio lavoro,” ha continuato Hernandez. “Darei sicuramente il benvenuto a un terzo incontro con Rosario, anche se. Non ho mai avuto paura di combattere nessuno, quindi combatterlo una terza volta non sarebbe affatto un problema.”

Nei Premier Boxing Champions su preliminari FS2, Bryant Perrella (16-2, 13 KO) ha vinto una decisione unanime (78-74, 79-73 X 2) su Breidis Prescott (31-16, 22 KO).

“Sono molto contento della mia prestazione di stasera,” Detto Perrella. “Mi sono sentito benissimo andando lontano. La mia resistenza è stata fantastica. Sarei stato molto più aggressivo e avrei lanciato colpi più duri, ma mi sono fatto male alla mano nel secondo round e mi ha fatto male il resto della lotta. Ho appena usato il mio jab e ring generale per controllare il combattimento e ottenere la vittoria.”

La sega co-caratteristica di FS2 Money Powell IV (9-0, 5 KO) fermare Javier Frazier (8-9-1, 4 KO) per KO tecnico al terzo turno (2:03). Powell atterrò 86 pugni nell'incontro, 36 di cui erano al corpo di Frazier.

“In questo campo di allenamento abbiamo davvero lavorato su molti colpi del corpo,” disse Powell. “Mi sento come se i colpi del corpo siano trascurati al giorno d'oggi e che i colpi del corpo paghino i conti, abbatterti molto velocemente.”

Nell'incontro swing con FS2, Austin Dulay (13-1, 10 KO) ha segnato un atterramento al primo turno molto veloce di Yardley Cruz (24-13, 14 KO) prima di passare a un arresto del terzo round (:27).

“Ho appena ascoltato i miei allenatori e mi hanno detto di essere un cane e di farsi avanti,” disse Dulay. “Pensavo di averlo fermato con quel primo atterramento dopo la campana di apertura, ma non volevo precipitarmi in nulla perché ha un sacco di esperienza.

“Voglio subito una rivincita con Chris Colbert in aprile 13 carta qui all'Armeria,” ha aggiunto Dulay. “Sono tornato al campo dopo quella perdita, capito cosa c'era che non andava, ho un nutrizionista e sono passato a 135 libbre. Mi sento meglio che mai, quindi sono decisamente pronto per quella rivincita.”

Nell'incontro televisivo di apertura su FS2, Justin Pauldo (12-1, 6 KO) ha segnato un atterramento al primo turno e l'interruzione (1:17) contro Federico Malespina (16-11-2, 2 KO) che non è stato in grado di continuare.

“Ho atterrato una solida mano destra dritta,” disse Pauldo. “L'ho visto ricadere tra le corde e sapevo di averlo ferito. Così, Ho toccato il corpo e l'ho tirato fuori velocemente.”

RIVERSIDE, CALIF. (Febbraio 15, 2019) – Once-beaten contender “Mad Man” Marcos Hernandez will look to continue his winning streak from “The Contender Season Five”, when he rematches Jeison Rosario live on FS1 and FOX Deportes Saturday, Febbraio 23 from the Armory in Minneapolis and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.


Coverage on FS1 and FOX Deportes begins live at 10 p.m. E / 7 p.m. PT and is headlined by former WBC super-middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell facing Avni Yildirim for the vacant WBC Super Middleweight Championship.

The 25-year-old from Fresno, California is looking to continue his journey to a world title as he has beaten four well-regarded prospects in only fifteen fights. Hernandez is currently training with Henry Ramirez in Riverside, California, and looking forward to his rematch with Rosario, who he fought to a draw last February in Texas.

I biglietti per l'evento, which is promoted by Warriors Boxing and TGB Promotions, sono già in vendita, and can be purchased at the Armory at http://ArmoryMN.com/e tramite Ticketmaster.

Here is what Hernandez had to say about his upcoming matchup and more:

On his rematch against Jeison Rosario:
“I fought Jeison Rosario almost one year ago exactly. I have a lot of respect for him because we fought to a draw, but that being said, I felt I got the better of him. This not a six-round bout like our first match, this is a ten-round fight, and I know what needs to be done to further my career with my performance in this fight.”

Nel suo recente campo di addestramento:
“I really like training with Henry Ramirez in Riverside, California. Henry is a cool guy who’s trained a lot of top fighters and knows what it takes to get the job done. In Fresno there were many distractions, so moving away from my family, my wife and kids, it is a sacrifice that I make to go to the next level. This is a job and I treat it like a job. I am doing everything possible to be a contender.”

On fighting on this PBC event on FS1 and FOX Deportes:
“I’m very excited as this is my fourth time on FS1. I love what Premier Boxing Champions is doing for the sport of boxing, bringing fights to network television. FS1 has been good to me and I am excited that one of my biggest wins will be on FS1 so everyone can watch it.”

On his goals for 2019:
“Voglio rimanere attivi, but my focus is solely on Rosario and getting that win. My hopes are to get in with a fighter with a big name. I’ve fought a lot of tough fighters, but not a lot of big-name fighters yet. I am hoping that by the end of this year I can fight one of those fighters’ people have seen on television for years.”

Dirrell (32-1-1, 24 KO) ha vinto il WBC Super Middleweight Championship con un unanime vittoria decisiva su Sakio Bika in 2014. È stato il culmine di un lungo, strada dura per Dirrell di Flint, Michigan dopo aver combattuto con successo linfoma non Hodgkin ed è stato autorizzato a tornare alla boxe dopo aver completato chemioterapia in 2008. Il suo regno come campione del mondo è stato interrotto quando il Il 34enne Dirrell ha perso il titolo con decisione a maggioranza contro Badou Jack 2015.

È arrivato combattente in avanti. Questo è il tipo di ragazzo che mi piace combattere. È fatto su misura per me. Farò quello che so fare meglio e questa è la lotta. Ho tenuto la mente, corpo e anima insieme e rimanere concentrato per sapere cosa devo fare per diventare due volte campione WBC.”

“Sono molto grato a tutti coloro che mi hanno aiutato a ottenere questa opportunità e so che io avere tutti gli strumenti per battere Anthony Dirrell,” disse Yildirim. “Dirrell è un buon combattente, ma credo di portare in tavola più di lui. Sto arrivando per vincere e portare la cintura a casa in Turchia. Ho aspettato tutta la mia vita da pugile per questo palco e sono pronto a dargli una guerra.”

Giacomo (24-1, 11 KO) è diventato un favorito locale e combatterà davanti al suo folla della città natale a Minneapolis per la terza volta consecutiva. Il 30enne James ha ottenuto quattro vittorie consecutive da quando ha subito la prima sconfitta della sua carriera – una decisione unanime sconfitta a Yordenis UgsuS nel 2016. Nella sua ultima battaglia James ha fermato Mahonry Montes per KO ad agosto 24 su FS1. Gonzalez (19-1-1, 15 KO) è un power-puncher di Cartagena, Colombia e sta venendo fuori la prima sconfitta in carriera per via unanime decisione di Radzhad Butaev in 2017.

“Sono affamato di fare 2019 l'anno in cui ottengo quel titolo mondiale,” disse James. “Sono concentrato sul mio avversario, ma in questa lotta continuerò a mostrare fuori dalle capacità e dalla velocità che mi rendono il prossimo campione.

PASSO, TX. (Aprile 28, 2018) – Rugged veteran contender Josesito Lopez (36-7, 19 KO) ha vinto una decisione unanime Miguel Cruz (17-1, 11 KO)in a welterweight attraction that headlined Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes Saturday night from Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas.

 

 

 

 

“I beat a great undefeated fighter tonight and I was able to out class him,” , ha detto Lopez. “I have some boxing ability clearly. I used my skills tonight. I felt that I dominated the pace, out worked him and I never let him do anything that hurt me.”

 

 

 

 

“Josesito was stronger than I thought,” said Cruz. “I took a little too long to get off and get going and it cost me.”

 

 

 

 

The action began to heat up in round three as Lopez broke through and began landing flush on Cruz to the head. Lopez controlled the action against Cruz on the ropes and when the real estate shifted to the middle of the ring.

 

 

 

 

Croce, who stated before the fight that attacking the body would be key, was twice deducted points by referee Rafael Ramos for low blows, once in round five and again in round six. This forced Cruz to abandon his predominant strategy.

 

 

 

 

“I didn’t agree with the calls on the low blows,” said Cruz. “I didn’t get a chance to work the body like I wanted. That was the plan coming in. They took it away from me.

 

 

 

 

“This is just another step in my journey. I didn’t get hurt or anything. I just need to get better in the gym and keep working combinations. I just have to get better.”

 

 

 

 

Under the guidance of renowned trainer Robert Garcia, Lopez boxed effectively and worked through the body attack and low blows to consistently win rounds and keep Cruz’s offense mostly at bay. Dopo 10 round, judges ruled in favor of Lopez by scores of 98-90 e 99-89 due volte.

 

 

 

 

“I think the biggest difference has been Robert Garcia in my corner,” , ha detto Lopez. “He has me living a healthier lifestyle and that played a big part in my victory. I have an elite trainer who is training me like an elite fighter. I was one step behind in the past, but now I think I’ve made up that distance and then some.

 

 

 

 

“Welterweight has a lot of good fighters, but I know I can compete with them. I’m a fan-friendly fighter who’s always going to leave it all in the ring.”

 

 

 

 

The co-main event saw former world champion Anthony Dirrell (32-1, 24 KO) drop El Paso’s Abraham Han (26-4, 16 KO) on his way to a unanimous decision in their 10-round super middleweight contest.

 

 

 

 

 

“I thought I did well tonight boxing him for 10 round,” , ha detto Dirrell. “I didn’t think I lost a round. Two of the judges thought so but I can’t do anything about that. Ho fatto quello che dovevo fare.

 

 

 

 

“Han has an incredible chin. He took everything I gave him. I even went to the body and gave it to him there. I was trying to go the body until the end but he still stood up. All I could do was keep pressuring him and get the victory.”

 

 

 

 

Greeted by a chorus of boos upon entering the ring, Dirrell sent the hometown fighter to the canvas with a right hand to the head late in round one as the bell rang. Han tried to use his movement, switching stances and tying Dirrell up to frustrate his opponent, and had some success as the two men wrestled each other to the canvas in the waning moments of round four and continued to push and shove on the ground until they were broken up by referee Laurence and sent to their corners.

 

 

 

 

Han was able to occasionally land clean punches, but nothing that ever disrupted the attack from Dirrell, who was too consistent and sharp with his power punches. Han believed that his lack of an effective jab hurt him in this fight.

 

 

 

 

“I wasn’t happy with my performance,” said Han. “I couldn’t get my jab going at all. If I had been more effective with that I think I would have been able to win more rounds.”

 

 

 

 

Dopo 10 rounds of action, all three judges score the bout in favor of Dirrell by scores of 100-89 e 99-90 due volte. Dirrell, a former titleholder at 168-pounds vowed that he plans to fight one more time, for a world title.

 

 

 

 

“The champions at 168-pounds better look out,” , ha detto Dirrell. “It’s going to be my last fight but I’m hungry to win another title.”

 

 

 

 

The opening bout of the telecast saw exciting featherweight contender Claudio Marrero (23-2, 16 KO) deliver a stunning one punch knockout of Jorge Lara (29-1-2, 21 KO) in the first round of their featherweight bout.

 

 

 

 

“I knew he would be aggressive and we worked very hard in training camp to achieve this,” said Marrero. “I saw my opportunity and I knew that it was over once I connected.”

 

 

 

“I just got caught with a great punch,” Detto Lara. “I wanted to be aggressive and give the fans a great show. It didn’t go my way. I’ll be back and I’ll be better. I’m going to get back to work and keep pushing toward my goals.”

 

 

 

Lara charged forward in the opening seconds, but was caught by a perfect left hook from Marrero during one of the early exchanges in the fight and was sent to the canvas. While he tried to get to his feet, he was clearly hurt as referee Rocky Burke halted the bout 33 seconds into the opening round.

 

 

 

 

“This was a message to the whole division,” said Marrero. “I’m a championship-caliber fighter and I showed it again tonight. I’m ready to take on every champion out there. I want the best challenges and I proved tonight that I’m able to beat anyone. I have all the skills and I can’t wait to show them off against the best.”
