WAT: SHOWTIME Sports correspondent Brendan Schaub sits down with undefeated heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder for an intimate conversation on the pressures of being a world champion in boxing’s highest profiled division.

 

Wilder faces former heavyweight champion Gold Cup op Showtime KAMPIOENSKAP boks® in 'n November 4 rematch that headlines a Premier Boxing Champions event LIVE on Showtime (9 namiddag. EN/6 namiddag. PT) van Barclays Center, die huis van BROOKLYN boks ™.

 

“Even when people see me out and posting [on social media], it doesn’t mean I’m resting,” Wilder told Schaub. “I’m just taking a little bit of time off and relaxing my mind. In this sport there are a lot of things that I want to do, and things that have to be done. I want to be the savior of heavyweight boxing.”

 

Schaub asked Wilder as the only American heavyweight champion, why he hasn’t received the notoriety yet that he deserves in the U.S. “I don’t get it either,” Wilder said. “It’s mind boggling to see Americans support others before they support their own.”

 

Hy het bygevoeg: “I like to joke around. I like to laugh. I like to get corny sometimes. I like to get silly. Jy weet, I just like to live life … I’m neutral when it comes to a lot of things. I’m an open-minded person. So whether it’s religion or whether it’s race or whether it’s sexuality; I’m not the person to judge. It’s not my place because if I judge you, then God is going to judge me the same way.”

BROOKLYN (Oktober. 14, 2017) – Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder and Welterweight World Champions Keith Thurman and Errol Spence Jr. met with the media on Saturday at Barclays Center to discuss their upcoming bouts and expected 2018 campaigns.
Wilder will defend his WBC belt on November. 4 against mandatory challenger Bermane Stiverne live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center in a Premier Boxing Champions event. Thurman announced he expects to return in early 2018 in his first bout since unifying the division and subsequent surgery.
In news on Saturday, IBF Welterweight Champion Spence announced that he will make the first defense of his belt against former world champion Lamont Peterson in January 2018 on SHOWTIME on a date and site to be determined.
Below are flash quotes from the three fighters:
Deontay Wilder
What other heavyweight is doing what I do? What other heavyweight has power like me? I don’t have to put you out in punches in bunches. I don’t have to do that. One punch. Goodnight.
I’m happy that I’ve had time to calm down and think about things. I’m happy that I’m fighting Stiverne because he’s my mandatory. I can finally get him out the way so I’ll be a free man.
This is the story of my life. Every situation that I’m put in, I try to be optimistic about. It’s easy to appreciate the good. But when the bad comes, some people don’t know how to manage that.
I’m the most frustrated guy around. Ek verstaan ​​nie. The best are supposed to fight the best, reg? I’ve always done that. I called (Wladimir) Klitschko out years ago.
People make so many excuses for my career. The one who is actually trying to make a legacy out of their career, he’s the only one that’s not complaining. The people who don’t have to get in the ring and endure this suffering are the ones that complaining.
Keith Thurman
I’m in the bounce-back stage. It won’t be long before I get back into the ring and hopefully my arm will be better than ever. We’re estimating I’ll be ready for a fight the first quarter of next year.
I look forward to continuing my legacy and dominating the welterweight division.
Everything happens for a reason. I’m 28-years-old and it doesn’t feel good to not be an active fighter while you’re in your prime.
I don’t think that I will take that level of a fight [against Shawn Porter] coming off my injury. I think we’re going to just get a welcome back fight. Throw the arm around, test it out, have an injury-free camp, take the momentum from that and we can possibly get in the ring with Shawn after that.
I look forward to that [potential] fight against Errol. I look forward to great competition and Errol is that. This is a fight that you guys have been talking about, you won’t stop talking about, and you should keep talking about it because when it goes down it will be one of the best fights of this generation.
Everybody knows there’s no Floyd Mayweather. There’s no Manny Pacquiao. Everybody thinks they know who the real champion is. But real talk is that the king of the welterweight division will manifest within one to two years.
“[Terence] Crawford has whacked up a lot of people, but he hasn’t whacked up a welterweight yet. He still needs to make himself relevant in this division. He’s a 140 onbetwiste kampioen. He can come up to this weight division and fight anybody in the top 10 and he deserves that. But we are so flooded with talent he is going to have to make himself relevant at 147 before he gets his hands on us.
Errol Spence Jr.
“Ek is bly om hier te wees, it’s been awhile. It’s finally time to defend my title, capture more titles and become the undisputed welterweight champion of the world. That’s what I’m ready to do next year.
“[Peterson] is somebody that I looked up to as an amateur. I sparred with him as an amateur and learned a lot from him. He’s one of my favorite fighters and is a guy that will fight anybody. I’ve never known him to duck a fight.
Lamont is a tricky fighter. He’s been around the block. He does a lot of cagey, veteran things. I’m looking to get experience in this fight. I’m still a young fighter.
Since I was 5-0, I’ve said I’d fight Keith Thurman or anybody in the top 5. He’s got to go through rehab, but I’m ready when he is. I’m always ready to fight the best.

Op Oktober. 28 unified heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua will meet Kubrat Pulev for Joshua’s IBF and WBA world titles in the main event of a fight card from Cardiff, Wallis.
After Wilder vs. Stiverne I, Stiverne was hospitalized at University Medical Center in Las Vegas for severe dehydration and muscle damage, which he claimed affected his performance in his first title defense. Stiverne bounced back with a win over Derric Rossy and has been advocating for a rematch since.
Stiverne asked for it, so he’s going to get it,” Wilder gesê. “Whatever happens happens. Ask and you shall receive. I’m relieved to be getting my mandatory out of the way. At least now I won’t have to deal with that down the road.
In the first fight, I broke my hand in the third round, and I still dominated. That was a lot of the reason why it went the distance. This time it’s a different day, different time and different fight. This time it won’t end well for him.
Despite all of these obstacles that are thrown in my path, it still will not stop me from reaching my ultimate goal, which is to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
Stiverne replaces Luis Ortiz, who was pulled from the fight by the WBC op Woensdag after he failed a VADA anti-doping test.
Stiverne will pay for Luis Ortiz screwing up,” Wilder concluded.
Stiverne was in camp preparing to fight Dominic Breazeale in a heavyweight attraction on the November. 4 undercard. Now the Haitian-born Las Vegas resident gets a shot at winning back the heavyweight crown he first won with a knockout of Chris Arreola in 2014.
“Ek is gereed, willing and able to seize back my title from Wilder,” Stiverne Dirita. “We all know that Wilder dodged a bullet in the first fight, maar nie hierdie keer. It was my fault, but I learn from my mistakes. Op November 4, Wilder will feel my pain.
After defeating Stiverne, Wilder went on to knockout each of his next five challengers including twice as the headliner on SHOWTIME. Wilder-Stiverne II will be the 10ste heavyweight world championship fight to air live on SHOWTIME in the last two years as the heavyweight division continues its resurgence.
The show must go on, soos hulle sê, and Deontay Wilder still plans to put on a show for New York City,” gesê Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment and promoter of the stacked November. 4 gebeurtenis. “Considering Stiverne’s status as mandatory challenger, he was always going to be a roadblock in Deontay’s quest for heavyweight unification. Now it’s time to see if Deontay can clear that roadblock and continue on his path to becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion and the most recognizable and dominant force in boxing.

Deontay Wilder versus Luis Ortiz on November 4 is the best heavyweight championship fight that was makeable this year, and it will be supported by a tremendous action-packed undercard, televised on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING,” gesê Lou DiBella, President van DiBella Vermaak. “Shawn Porter versus Adrian Granados is an all-action, fan-pleasing fight that will once again have fans at Barclays Center cheering. Sergey Lipinets is a knockout artist and up-and-coming star, attempting to secure his first world title. Daarbenewens, SHOWTIME will stream other undercard bouts, including what should be a competitive heavyweight title eliminator between top contenders Bermane Stiverne and Dominic Breazeale.
Adrian Granados is as tough as they come and while he may lack the name recognition of Porter, he should not be overlooked,” sê Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “You look at his record and he has five losses, but those five losses are three split decisions and two majority decisions and the two draws that are split draws. This is another huge opportunity for him. Adrian feels he’s paid his dues and belongs in a fight of this magnitude.
The 10-round welterweight match against Granados will be Porter’s fourth fight at Barclays Center. Porter won the welterweight title in his debut at the arena with a unanimous decision over Devon Alexander on Dec. 7, 2013. He lost a narrow decision to unified welterweight champion Keith Thurman in a 2016 Fight of the Year candidate in Brooklyn, and scored a TKO victory against former welterweight champion Andre Berto in his last fight on April 22 in front of the Barclays Center faithful.
The 29-year-old Porter (27-2-1, 17 Uitklophoue), who was born in Akron, Ohio and now lives in Las Vegas, remains one of the top welterweights in the division and aims to secure another title shot with a strong performance against Granados.
To be fighting on an undercard for a Deontay Wilder fight is nothing short of excellent,” Said Porter. “I’m excited and looking forward to this opportunity. Against Granados I’m getting into the ring with someone who is very established as an amateur and a professional, has great skills and isn’t going to go in there and lay down. That’s always going to bring out the best in me, and that’s always going to create a very exciting match-up. I know that when I do what I’m planning to do, it’s going to be exciting, entertaining and fill the seats.
Adrian Granados (18-5-2, 12 Uitklophoue), van Chicago, is accustomed to tough assignments and is known for delivering exciting toe-to-toe action. The 28-year-old has been in with Felix Diaz, losing a close majority decision in 2014, and then unbeaten Amir Imam, whom he defeated by TKO in 2015 when Imam was the top contender at 140-pounds. Granados went punch for punch with Adrien Broner in his last match, but came up just short, losing a split decision in Broner’s hometown of Cincinnati on Februarie. 18.
I’m very excited to be fighting one of the best welterweights in the world in Shawn Porter,” said Granados. “With our styles it’s going to be fireworks from the opening bell. I was getting ready for a fight in October but when this opportunity arose I jumped at it. It’s a tremendous card to be fighting on with the whole world watching and I’m looking to
put on a great performance.
The 28-year-old Sergey Lipinets (12-0, 10 Uitklophoue) is a former kickboxer from Russia who has been waiting nearly a year for his opportunity to fight for a world championship. Lipinets has only been the distance twice in his pro career and he earned his title shot with an eighth-round knockout of Lenny Zappavigna in a title eliminator last December. In sy mees onlangse begin, Lipinets stopped Clarence Booth via third-round TKO in March at Barclays Center.
I feel very privileged to be in the position to fight for this world title,” said Lipinets. “I will prepare to face the best possible fighter on that night and I promise that I will not disappoint. The lights will be bright but I have trained too hard not to leave the ring as a world champion.
Akihiro Kondo (29-6-1, 16 Uitklophoue) sal wees om sy VS. debut and fighting for a world championship for the first time when he meets Lipinets for the 140-pound title. The 32-year-old Kondo, of Kazo, Saitama, Japan, has won eight straight matches, including five by stoppage. This will be his third fight this year after he stopped Komsan Polsan in March and defeated Yuya Okazaki by TKO in May.
Former world champion Bermane Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 Uitklophoue) is coming off a two-year absence from the ring. Stiverne, 38, became the first Haitian-born boxer to win the heavyweight title when he defeated Chris Arreola in May of 2014. He lost the title to Wilder by decision on January of 2015 in Las Vegas. In his last fight Stiverne, who moved from Canada and now resides in Las Vegas, Nev., defeated Derric Rossy via decision.
The 32-year-old Dominic Breazeale (18-1, 16 Uitklophoue) was 'n lid van die 2012 U.S. Olympic boxing team and won his first 17 pro fights before suffering the only loss of his career when he fell short vying for a title against now-unified champion Anthony Joshua in June of 2016.

PROMOTER DON KING HOPES WBC WILL DECLARE BERMANE STIVERNE WBC INTERIM HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP

 

LAS VEGAS (Desember. 17, 2016) – In the aftermath of Saturday’s news that the WBC Interim heavyweight title fight in Russia between former heavyweight champion Gold Cup and top-ranked Alexander Povetkin had been cancelled because Povetkin tested positive for drugs again, Hall of Fame promotor Don “Only In America” King offered a simple solution:

 

Declare his fighter, Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 Uitklophoue), van Las Vegas, the interim champion.

 

“I’ve had a long-standing respect with the WBC, beginning with Jose Sulaiman and now with his son, Mauricio, who has done an incredible job filling his father’s shoes as WBC president and just got re-elected for four more years. I stand with them and with the WBC for trying to do things the right way and with their organization’s safety procedures in regard to the boxers and the sport.

 

“It’s sad but this guy, Povetkin, has become a total embarrassment. He’s now tested positive in two WBC heavyweight title fights in a row. I’m all for winning and losing fights in the ring, but it’s time for justice to prevail. I don’t know what’s going on over there with so many Russian athletes in so many sports testing positive for drugs, but it has to stop. They cannot be allowed to continue to do things the way they are.

 

“The WBC should declare Stiverne world champion, make him the mandatory for (WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay) Wilder, and let’s move on with it. There are a lot of great heavyweight fights that can be made with willing boxers who don’t break the rules every fight.

 

“I’m very disappointed for Bermane, who’s now gone through two training camps with nothing to show for it. Why put up all that money for travel and expenses and then have no fight. He was ready to beat Povetkin and regain a part of the WBC title.

 

“And then – worse yetfor them to try and put it on Bermane for not fighting is just ludicrous. They’re taking the victim and trying to set him up as the criminal in this.’’

 

Stiverne pulled out after the WBC withdrew its sanction because Poverkin tested positive for the banned substance Ostarine. WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman revealed the positive test by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) on Saturday morning. Dan, the WBC withdrew its recognition of the fight.

“There’s no reason to fight if the WBC won’t sanction the bout,” said Stiverne, who could have gone through with the bout but without the sanction opted not to. “I’m very disappointed in the actions of Povetkin. I’ve been training for months to be victorious.

“To wake up the day of the fight, have breakfast, take a nap and then find out he tested positive is the worst possible situation.”

This is the second time in seven months Povetkin (30-1-0, 22 Uitklophoue) has tested positive for a banned substance. He tested positive for Meldonium ahead of a scheduled May bout with Wilder, cancelling that fight.

If it had transpired, the winner of the fight for the WBC interim heavyweight title would have become the mandatory challenger to Wilder. Stiverne lost the WBC title to Wilder on a 12-round decision on Jan. 15, 2015. He’s the only fighter to go the distance with Wilder.

Perskonferensie Quotes; Maandag, Jan. 19, by MGM Grand

LAS VEGAS (Jan. 19, 2015) - Twee nagte nadat hy in die hospitaal opgeneem nadat hy die verlies te onoorwonne uitdager Deontay Wilder op Showtime® uit die MGM Grand Garden Arena, former WBC Heavyweight Champion Gold Cup, sy Hall of Fame promotor, Don King, en sy afrigter, Don Huis, gasheer vir 'n perskonferensie laat vandag by die MGM Grand.

 

Hier is wat hulle te sê gehad het:

 

PROMOTOR Don King

 

"Ons het hierdie perskonferensie omdat die Bermane ons gesien Saterdag nag was nie die Bermane ons almal weet. Deontay Wilder het 'n baie goeie werk; dit is nie 'n perskonferensie vir verskonings, dit is vir die feit. Die dokters by die hospitaal van die UMC gesê dat hy 'n ernstige geval van dehidrasie. Sy spiere is nie werk nie, en hulle het gedink hy het bloed in sy urine, sodat hulle het 'n paar toetse en het hom in die hospitaal tot vanoggend.

"Ons wil Deontay Wilder te jubel vir sy werk doen, maar die man voor hom was gestremde en nie in staat om sy werk te doen, maar dat moet nie iets weg te neem van sy oorwinning. Deontay presteer en het 'n groot taak. Dit is jammer, maar Bermane sal hê om dit te doen 'n ander dag. Wetende dat die kampioen wat ons in Deontay het so welsprekend gesê dat Hy dit sal neem op iemand, Ek is seker sonder enige teensinnigheid sou hy 'n rematch verleen met die werklike Bermane as die man wat gestremd is in die ring, nie weg te neem die oorwinning moes hy en die manier waarop hy geskyn.

"Ons loof Deontay en hoop hy kan kampioen lank genoeg om waar ons kan 'n herontmoeting van die hê 'terugkeer na glorie."

"Net soos ons groot militêre, wanneer hulle platgeslaan, hulle kry weer terug. Selfs met sy ernstige ontwatering Bermane nog daar gestaan ​​vir 12 rondes.

"Ons wil Richard Sturm bedank, President van MGM Grand vermaak en Stephen Espinoza met Showtime Boks vir die speel van 'n groot deel in om hierdie program saam. Ons verwelkom beide ons personeel en die MGM personeel om dit te doen 'n prysenswaardige werk vir die maak van dit gebeur. Die gees vir 'terugkeer na glorie' was 'n hoë. Ons het 'n groot kaart met Amir Imam in die stryd van die nag, om platgeslaan en kry terug. Al die gevegte was uitsonderlik. Dit was 'n goeie nag van boks vir die ondersteuners en dit is wat ons is regtig oor.

"Don House so welsprekend gesê die gesondheid van Bermane so belangrik is so toe ek uitgevind het hy was in die hospitaal, Ek het na die dag daar te bly met hom, want gewoonlik het ons net stuur hulle na die hospitaal te bewys nie, maar hulle het besluit om hom te hou. Toe hulle besluit het om hom te hou, Ek moes daar te kry en kyk my vegter. Die personeel was geweldige en baie genadig en baie definitiewe oor wat kon verkeerd wees en ondersoek alle aspekte. Hulle het gesê hy is gesond en moet opstyg 'n maand of so 'n bietjie rus te kry en dan kry om te werk om voor te berei vir sy terugkeer na glorie en terugvat die swaargewig kroon wat tans gehou word deur 'n groot kampioen aangewys Deontay Wilder. "

Gold Cup

 

"Ek wil om verskoning vra vir nie die maak van die post-stryd perskonferensie. Ongelukkig was ek nie in staat om uit te voer in die stryd soos ek wou as gevolg van ernstige ontwatering en spierskade. Ek het nie geweet dit was dat ernstige totdat hulle het vir my gesê. Ek kon daaruit gesterf het. Ek is gelukkig om net myself wees, walk and talk again. Thank God for this, dit is regtig wat saak maak vir my om gesond te wees nou.

"Ek het nie geweet van die erns van dit Saterdag nag. Ek was in staat om te gee die mense 'n goeie show, 12 rondes van boks. As ek moes dit weer te doen sou ek dit weer doen. Dit is nie die einde vir my. Ek sal dit 'n paar weke en dan weer aan die werk te kry. Ek het 'n visie vir hierdie, maar nou is dit net op die pouse. Dit is net 'n kwessie van tyd voordat ek sal terug te kry op my voete en weer loop. Wanneer dit kom by my gesondheid, Ek is uit die hospitaal ontslaan. Hulle sou nie laat my verlaat totdat ek genoeg gehidreer. Ek is dankbaar. Dankie aan my promotor en afrigter, almal wat my verwelkom.

"Om my fans, Ek vra om verskoning vir nie in staat is om uit te voer soos Bermane gewoonlik nie. Ek weet dat mense wat regtig weet my, weet hoe ek veg. My laaste geveg met Chris Arreola, Ek het vir jou 'n goeie show. Dit is jammer dat ek nie kon doen wat ek wou doen met my stryd met Deontay Wilder. Ek wil hom geluk te wens, hy geveg 'n goeie stryd. Hopelik iewers in die toekoms sal ons weer ontmoet.

"Dankie almal vir kom uit na die perskonferensie, Ek is terug op my voete 100 persent nou. Ek het net 'n paar weke of 'n maand van rus om terug te wees waar ek opgehou het. "

DON HOUSE, Stiverne se afrigter

"Dankie ouens vir die komende uit. Die belangrikste ding is dat Bermane is OK. Dit is my grootste bekommernis. Ek iewers opgemerk in die stryd, waarskynlik rondom die derde of vierde ronde, iets is nie reg nie. Selfs al het hy vir my gesê hy was OK, ons almal weet Bermane. Ek gee nie om nie 'n stryd verloor, maar ek het geweet dat iets nie reg is nie, so ek was baie bekommerd. Rondom die negende of 10 ronde Ek dink die stryd om te stop, want jy hoef nie om voort te gaan, maar hy wou om te bly veg.

"Jy het dit nie sien Bermane, jy dalk gesien 10-15 persent van Bermane. Ek het regtig glo en werklik voel dit moet 'n ordentlike stryd vir Bermane gewees het, maar vier rondes of minder sou duur omdat sy krag en spoed. Ons het hom nooit onderskat. Ons opgeleide asof hy veg King Kong. Ek oefen elke vegter soos daardie, onderskat niemand. Maar Saterdagnag, ons het oor 15 persent van Bermane.

"Ons gaan om terug te kyk, sien wat ons verkeerd gedoen het, hoe ons dinge beter kan doen, wat ons moes gedoen het. Ons sal 'n blik op hoe die dehidrasie kan gebeur het neem. Ons sal 'n blik op die stryd en 'n paar van die dinge wat ons gedoen het in die opleiding neem en uit te vind wat ons verkeerd gedoen het. "

LAS VEGAS (Jan. 17, 2015) – En die nuwe WBC swaargewig-wêreldkampioen…

 

Amerika uiteindelik het sy swaargewig-wêreldkampioen as Alabama se Deontay Wilder onttroon verdedigende kampioen Gold Cup via 'n eenparige besluit (118-109, 119-108, 120-107) Saterdag op Showtime® uit die MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

 

Wilder (33-0, 32 Uitklophoue), wat nog nooit verby die vierde ronde geveg en het uitgeslaan al 32 van sy professionele teenstanders, boxed brilliantly behind a stellar jab to become the first U.S.-born heavyweight champion in nearly a decade. The towering 6-foot-7 Tuscaloosa native capitalized on his reach advantage, jabbing konsekwent om 'n kragtige reguit reg.

 

Veg Hall van Famer Muhammad Ali se 73rd verjaarsdag, Wilder het die eerste onoorwonne Amerikaanse swaargewig kampioen sedert Riddick Bowe in 1992 en die eerste Amerikaanse kampioen sedert Shannon Briggs het die kroon in 2006.

 

“Ek is net opgewonde en gelukkig hierdie gordel terug te bring na Amerika,” Wilder gesê. “Dit gaan 'n baie te beteken. I think I answered a lot of questions tonight. We knew we could go 12 rondes. We knew we could take a punch. We knew we could do it.

 

Op pad na die eerste swaargewig kampioenskap stryd teen MGM Grand sedert die berugte Mike Tyson-Evander Holyfield oor byt in 1997, Daar was vrae uit die boks insiders as Wilder, wat nog nooit werklik getoets, kon die mag van 'n ware swaargewig en laaste in die latere rondes hanteer. But Wilder answered those questions with a disciplined game plan, landing meer as dubbel die totale stoot en gooi 420 jabs te Stiverne se 139.

 

When I saw he could take a great punch we knew we were in for the long run. Twelve rounds is nothing. I want to bring excitement back to the heavyweight division. Whoever is ready, Ek is gereed.”

 

Stiverne (24-2-1, 21 Uitklophoue) in staat was om Wilder ronddwaal met 'n paar skote, but he did not throw enough jabs or cut off the ring effectively. Wilder was allowed to circle the ring and pop his jab at will. Stiverne landed just 39 jabs vergelyking met Wilder se 120.

 

“Dit was nie my nag,” Stiverne Dirita. “Ek het gevoel 100 persent voor die stryd, maar as ek het in die ring kon ek nie die ring sny, I couldn’t move my head like I usually do. Wat kan ek sê? Congrats to him.

 

I knew I was trying to throw combos of four or five punches and I could only throw two of them. I just felt like I was flat in the ring. What I know I could do I didn’t do. I just have to go back and learn from my mistakes and find out what happened tonight.

 

WBC Super Pluim Gewichten Wêreld Kampioen Leo Santa Cruz verdedig sy kroon vir die vierde keer met 'n agtste ronde TKO van Jesus Ruiz en nawoord uitgeroep mede-kampioene Abner Mares en Guillermo Rigondeaux in die mede-kenmerk van Showtime KAMPIOENSKAP boks.

 

Die vroeë rondes was naby en mededingende en Ruiz, 'n swaar buiteperd, seemed to be a tougher test than he looked on paper. But it was clear that Santa Cruz was landing the cleaner shaper punches. The former bantamweight world champion landed some meaningful shots and had Ruiz in trouble in the seventh and, vir die eerste keer, het dit geblyk dat hy kon voltooi Ruiz.

 

Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17 Uitklophoue) uitgekom brandende in die agtste, landed a big right cross to kick off the round and continued to tee-off on the challenger. In trouble against the ropes and not fighting back, skeidsregter Kenny Bayless gespring in en gestop die bout met Ruiz (32-6-5, 21 Uitklophoue) steeds op sy voete op :29 of the eighth round. The champion landed 43 persent van sy totale stoot en byna 50 persent van sy krag stoot, terwyl landing 'n indrukwekkende 73 krag skote na die liggaam.

 

“Soos ek verwag het, dit was 'n oorlog,” Santa Cruz said. “He came prepared. We hurt him and we didn’t let the chance go away. We kept going after him and we stopped him. I hurt him with the right hand. I knew he was hurt so I went after him. I knew Kenny Bayless would stop it because he wasn’t throwing punches.

 

I want the best and I want to please the fans. Ek wil (Abner) Moeders, Ek wil (Bill) Rigondeaux. Hopelik ons ​​volgende stryd is teen een van die beste.”

 

Ruiz, wat net geland 22 persent van sy totale stoot, nie eens met die oponthoud.

 

“Ek wil 'n rematch,” Ruiz het. “Ek voel nie hulle moet die stryd gestop het, but I have to accept it. But I’m fine. Kyk vir my – Ek sny nie. Hy het nie eens drop my.”

 

In die opening bout van die Showtime KAMPIOENSKAP boks uitsending, onoorwonne super liggewig Amir Ek vloer Fidel Maldonado Jr. vier keer en behaal 'n vyfde ronde TKO in 'n bakleiery featured vyf totale knockdowns.

 

Maldonado was die besiger vegter, maar Imam vloer die Albuquerque inwoner vir die vierde keer in sy loopbaan met 'n kort regs net 'n oomblik voor die klok lui die tweede te eindig. Dan, in 'n vroeë kandidaat vir Round van die Jaar, wat met drie knockdowns, Maldonado gereageer deur klop down Imam vir die eerste keer in sy loopbaan 30 seconds into the third with a solid straight left. Imam bounced back and sent Maldonado to the canvas with a huge right with 20 sekondes links in die derde en dan weer met 'n reguit reg as deel van 'n bose aanval met minder as 10 sekondes links in die ronde.

 

Die aksie het voortgegaan en Imam (16-0, 14 Uitklophoue) floored Maldonado for the fourth time in the fight with a short right followed by a left hook just seconds before the bell to close the fifth. Maldonado (19-3, 16 Uitklophoue) opgestaan, maar was waggel en skeidsregter Robert Byrd gestop die wedstryd op 2:59. Imam’s power was the difference, landing 50 persent van sy krag skote.

 

“Dit was 'n moeilike uitklop, maar kampioene opstaan ​​en klaar is met die stryd hard en dit is wat ek gedoen het,” Imam sê. “I just had to stay composed and do what I had to do. “I started timing him. When I hit him with that good shot he was out. I could see it. That was the rope-a-dope. I was swinging for the fences and that was it, baba.

 

I’m ready for the title shot right now. I just want to fight for the title.

 

Vier van die vyf knockdowns plaasgevind het met minder as 30 seconds left in each round. Na afloop van die stryd, Maldonado het erken dat hy eenvoudig gefaal om homself te beskerm wanneer die rondtes is kronkel af.

 

“Ek het net gevang het met 'n paar van stoot,” Maldonado said. “Hy het sy kalmte en hy kom uit met die W. I just got caught. I got lazy in there and he capitalized. He was the better man tonight. I got kind of bored at the end of the rounds and I paid for it.

 

In die belangrikste gebeurtenis van Showtime boks op SHO EXTREME, onoorwonne ligswaargewig vooruitsigVyacheslav Shabranskyy (12-0, 10 Uitklophoue) het sy perfekte rekord ongeskonde met 'n deeglik oortuig TKO oorwinning van Garrett Wilson (13-9-1, 7 Uitklophoue).

 

Shabranskyy het sy afstand en was baie effektief; landing 48 persent van sy krag geskiet en gooi meer as 60 punches in each round. The Ukrainian prospect scored a knockdown with a right in the closing seconds of the second and another with a clean right in the final 10 sekondes van die agtste, sending Wilson face first to the canvas. Wilson beat the count but was saved by the bell as Shabranskyy unloaded more than a dozen consecutive punches.

 

Die duursame Wilson het 'n geweldige klop in die negende en skynbaar nie 'n punch land, dwing skeidsregter Jay Nady die bout na die negende te stop op voorstel van die ringside dokter.

 

In die opening bout van die SHO EXTREME uitsending, swaargewig Eric Molina (23-2, 17 Uitklophoue) verslaan Raphael Zumbano (32-9-1, 25 Uitklophoue) via agtste ronde TKO in 'n eensydige affêre.

 

Molina, wat geland 76 persent van sy krag skote en meer as 50 persent van sy totale stoot, is verbind aan wil wanneer skeidsregter Russell Mora gestop die wedstryd op 1:28 van die agtste.
