Wilder faces former heavyweight champion Gold Cup på SHOWTIME Championship Boxing® i en November 4 rematch that headlines a Premier Boxing Champions event LIVE on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. OG/6 p.m. PT) fra Barclays center, hjemsted for BROOKLYN BOKSNING ™.

 

“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.”

 

Han tilføjede: “I like to joke around. I like to laugh. I like to get corny sometimes. I like to get silly. Du ved, 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. Jeg forstår ikke. The best are supposed to fight the best, højre? 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.
“Alt sker for en grund. 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 ubestridte mester. 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.
“Jeg er glad for at være her, 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.”

Molina lost via TKO to Anthony Joshua in his next opportunity on Dec. 10, 2016. Molina bounced back with a majority decision victory against Jamal Woods in his last fight on Syv. 2.

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 sagde. “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 onsdag after he failed a VADA anti-doping test.

“Jeg er klar, willing and able to seize back my title from Wilder,” Stiverne Dirita. “We all know that Wilder dodged a bullet in the first fight, men ikke denne gang. It was my fault, but I learn from my mistakes. På 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 10th 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, som de siger, and Deontay Wilder still plans to put on a show for New York City,” sagde Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment and promoter of the stacked November. 4 begivenhed. “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,” sagde Lou DiBella, Formand for DiBella Entertainment. “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. Derudover, 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,” sagde Tom Brown, Formand for 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 KOS), 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 KOS), af 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 Februar. 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 KOS) 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. I sin seneste begyndelse, 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,” sagde 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 KOS) will be making his U.S. 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 KOS) 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 i 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 KOS) var medlem af den 2012 US.

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

Efterlad en kommentar

 

LAS VEGAS (December. 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 Aleksandr 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 KOS), af 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 yet — for 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 (VIL GIVE) on Saturday morning. Derefter, 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 KOS) 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.

Press Conference Quotes; Mandag, Jan. 19, at MGM Grand

LAS VEGAS (Jan. 19, 2015) - To nætter efter at være blevet indlagt efter hans tab til ubesejrede udfordrer Deontay Wilder på SHOWTIME® fra MGM Grand Garden Arena, former WBC Heavyweight Champion Gold Cup, hans Hall of Fame promotor, Don King, og hans træner, Don House, vært en pressekonference sent i dag på MGM Grand.

 

Her er, hvad de havde at sige:

 

PROMOTER DON KING

 

"Vi kaldte denne pressekonference, fordi Bermane vi så på lørdag nat var ikke Bermane vi alle kender. Deontay Wilder gjorde et meget godt stykke arbejde; dette er ikke en pressekonference efter undskyldninger, det er for forhold,. Lægerne på hospitalet i UMC sagde, at han havde et alvorligt tilfælde af dehydrering. Hans muskler arbejdede ikke, og de troede, at han havde blod i hans urin, så de tog nogle prøver og holdt ham på hospitalet indtil i morges.

"Vi ønsker at klappe Deontay Wilder for at gøre sit job, men manden foran ham var handicappede og ude af stand til at gøre sit job, men det bør ikke tage noget væk fra hans sejr. Deontay udføres, og gjorde et stort stykke arbejde. Det er uheldigt,, men Bermane bliver nødt til at gøre det en anden dag. Kendskab til mester, vi har i Deontay har så veltalende udtalt, at han vil tage på nogen, Jeg er sikker på, uden nogen tøven, han ville give en omkamp med den virkelige Bermane end den mand, der var handicappede i ringen, ikke tage væk sejren, han havde, og den måde, han lyste.

"Vi priser Deontay og håber, at han kan være mester længe nok til, hvor vi kan have en omkamp af" Return to Glory. «

"Ligesom vores store militær, når de bliver slået ned, de kommer tilbage igen. Selv med hans svær dehydrering Bermane stadig stod der i 12 runder.

"Vi vil gerne takke Richard Sturm, Formand for MGM Grand underholdning og Stephen Espinoza med SHOWTIME Boxing til at spille en stor rolle i at få dette program sammen. Vi bifalder både vores medarbejdere og MGM personale for at gøre et prisværdigt stykke arbejde for at gøre dette til at ske. Ånden for "Tilbage til Glory 'var høj. Vi havde en stor kort med Amir Imam i kampen om natten, få slået ned og få tilbage op. Alle kampe var usædvanlige. Det var en god aften med boksning for fans, og det er det, vi er virkelig om.

"Don House så veltalende erklærede sundhed Bermane er så vigtigt, så da jeg fandt ud af han var på hospitalet, Jeg gik til ophold dagen der med ham, fordi som regel bare sender vi dem til hospitalet for at få tjekket ud, men de besluttede at holde ham. Da de besluttede at holde ham, Jeg var nødt til at komme over der og se min fighter. Personalet var fantastisk og meget imødekommende til mig og meget definitiv om, hvad der kunne være galt, og undersøger alle aspekter. De sagde, at han er sund og burde tage ud en måned eller så at få nogle resten og derefter komme til at arbejde for at forberede hans tilbagevenden til herlighed og generobre sværvægter krone, der i øjeblikket indehaves af en stor mester ved navn Deontay Wilder. "

Gold Cup

 

"Jeg vil gerne undskylde for ikke at post-kampen pressekonference. Desværre var jeg ikke i stand til at udføre i kampen ligesom jeg ønskede at på grund af alvorlige dehydrering og muskelskader. Jeg vidste ikke, det var så alvorligt, indtil de fortalte mig. Jeg kunne have døde af det. Jeg er glad for at bare være mig selv, walk and talk again. Thank God for this, det er virkelig hvad der betyder noget for mig at være sund lige nu.

"Jeg vidste ikke, sværhedsgraden af ​​den Lørdag nat. Jeg var i stand til at give folk et godt show, 12 runder af boksning. Hvis jeg skulle gøre det igen ville jeg gøre det igen. Dette er ikke enden for mig. Jeg vil give det et par uger, og derefter komme tilbage til arbejdet. Jeg har en vision for dette, men lige nu er det bare på pause. Det er bare et spørgsmål om tid, før jeg får tilbage på mine fødder og gå igen. Når det kommer til mit helbred, Jeg er blevet udskrevet fra sygehuset. De ville ikke lade mig forlade indtil jeg var tilstrækkeligt hydreret. Jeg er taknemmelig. Tak til min promotor og træner, alle, der har hilst mig.

"Til mine fans, Jeg undskylder for ikke at kunne udføre som Bermane plejer. Jeg ved, at folk, der virkelig kender mig, vide, hvordan jeg kæmper. Min sidste kamp med Chris Arreola, Jeg gav dig et godt show. Det er uheldigt, at jeg ikke kunne gøre, hvad jeg ønskede at gøre med min kamp med Deontay Wilder. Jeg vil gerne lykønske ham, han kæmpede en god kamp. Forhåbentlig et eller andet sted i fremtiden vil vi mødes igen.

"Tak alle for at komme ud til pressemødet, Jeg er tilbage på mine fødder 100 procent lige nu. Jeg skal bare have et par uger eller en måned af hvile at være tilbage, hvor jeg slap. "

DON HOUSE, Stiverne træner

"Tak fyrene for at komme ud. Det vigtigste er, at Bermane er OK. Det er min største bekymring. Jeg har bemærket et eller andet sted i kampen, sandsynligvis omkring den tredje eller fjerde runde, noget ikke var rigtigt. Selv om han fortalte mig, han var OK, vi alle kender Bermane. Jeg har ikke noget imod at tabe en kamp, men jeg vidste noget var ikke rigtigt, så jeg var meget bekymret. Omkring niende eller 10. runde tænkte jeg at stoppe kampen, fordi du ikke behøver at fortsætte, men han ønskede at holde kampene.

"Man kunne ikke se Bermane, du så måske 10-15 procent af Bermane. Jeg tror virkelig og virkelig følte det burde have været en anstændig kamp for Bermane, men ville vare fire runder eller mindre, fordi hans magt og hastighed. Vi har aldrig undervurderet ham. Vi trænede som om han kæmpede King Kong. Jeg træner hver fighter sådan, undervurdere ingen. Men Lørdagnat, vi havde om 15 procent af Bermane.

"Vi kommer til at se tilbage, se, hvad vi gjorde forkert, hvordan vi kan gøre tingene bedre, hvad vi skulle have gjort. Vi vil tage et kig på, hvordan dehydrering kan være sket. Vi vil tage et kig på kampen og nogle af de ting, vi gjorde i uddannelse og finde ud af, hvad vi gjorde forkert. "

LAS VEGAS (Jan. 17, 2015) – Og den nye WBC Heavyweight verdensmester…

 

Amerika endelig har sin sværvægter verdensmester som Alabama Deontay Wilder detroniserede forsvarende mester Gold Cup via enstemmig afgørelse (118-109, 119-108, 120-107) Lørdag på SHOWTIME® fra MGM Grand Garden Arena i Las Vegas.

 

Wilder (33-0, 32 KOS), der aldrig havde kæmpet forbi fjerde runde og havde slået ud af alt 32 af sine faglige modstandere, 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 konsekvent at sætte en kraftfuld lige ret op.

 

Fighting på Hall of Famer Muhammad Alis 73rd fødselsdag, Wilder blev den første ubesejrede amerikanske sværvægter mester siden Riddick Bowe i 1992 og den første amerikanske champion siden Shannon Briggs vandt kronen i 2006.

 

“Jeg er bare spændt og glad for at bringe dette bælte tilbage til Amerika,” Wilder sagde. “Det kommer til at betyde meget. I think I answered a lot of questions tonight. We knew we could go 12 runder. We knew we could take a punch. We knew we could do it.”

 

På vej ind i første sværvægter mesterskabet kamp at MGM Grand, siden den berygtede Mike Tyson-Evander Holyfield øre bid i 1997, Der var spørgsmål fra boksning insidere hvis Wilder, der havde aldrig været virkelig testet, kunne håndtere effekten af ​​et ægte sværvægter og sidste i de senere runder. But Wilder answered those questions with a disciplined game plan, landing mere end det dobbelte af de samlede stempler og smide 420 jabs til Stiverne s 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, Jeg er klar.”

 

Stiverne (24-2-1, 21 KOS) var i stand til at forskyde Wilder med et par skud, 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 forhold til Wilders 120.

 

“Det var ikke min aften,” Stiverne Dirita. “Jeg følte 100 procent før kampen, men når jeg fik i ringen kunne jeg ikke skære ringen, I couldn’t move my head like I usually do. Hvad kan jeg sige? 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-bantamvægt verdensmester Leo Santa Cruz forsvarede sin krone for fjerde gang med en ottende-runde TKO Jesu Ruiz og efterskrift råbte kolleger mestre Abner Mares og Guillermo Rigondeaux i co-funktion i SHOWTIME Championship Boxing.

 

De tidlige runder var tæt og konkurrencedygtige og Ruiz, en tung underdog, 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, for første gang, viste det sig, at han kunne afslutte Ruiz.

 

Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17 KOS) kom ud flammende i den ottende, 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, dommer Kenny Bayless sprang ind og stoppede kampen med Ruiz (32-6-5, 21 KOS) stadig på hans fødder på :29 of the eighth round. The champion landed 43 procent af hans samlede stempler og næsten 50 procent af hans magt slag, mens landing en imponerende 73 magt skud på kroppen.

 

“Som jeg forventede, Det var en krig,” 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. Jeg ønsker (Abner) Mødre, Jeg ønsker (Regning) Rigondeaux. Forhåbentlig vores næste kamp er mod en af ​​de bedste.”

 

Ruiz, der kun landede 22 procent af hans samlede slag, var uenig med standsningen.

 

“Jeg vil have en omkamp,” Ruiz sagde. “Jeg føler ikke, de burde have stoppet kampen, but I have to accept it. But I’m fine. Se på mig – Jeg er ikke skære. Han havde ikke engang tabe mig.”

 

Ved indledningen anfald af SHOWTIME Championship Boxing fjersynsudsendelse, ubesejret super letvægt Amir I floored Fidel Maldonado Jr. fire gange og scorede et femte runde TKO i et slagsmål, der fremhævede fem total knockdowns.

 

Maldonado var travle fighter, men Imam floored Albuquerque bosiddende for fjerde gang i sin karriere med en kort højre lige et øjeblik, før klokken ringede for at afslutte det andet. Derefter, i en tidlig kandidat til Round of the Year, der spillede tre knockdowns, Maldonado reagerede ved at banke ned Imam for første gang i hans karriere 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 sekunder tilbage i tredje og derefter igen med en lige ret som en del af et ondskabsfuldt angreb med mindre end 10 sekunder tilbage i den runde.

 

Handlingen fortsatte og Imam (16-0, 14 KOS) 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 KOS) stod op, men var slingrende og dommer Robert Byrd standset konkurrencen på 2:59. Imam’s power was the difference, landing 50 procent af hans magt skud.

 

“Det var en hård knockdown, men champions stå op og afslutte kampen hårdt og det er, hvad jeg gjorde,” Imam sagde. “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, Baby.

 

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

 

Fire af de fem knockdowns forekom med mindre end 30 seconds left in each round. Efter kampen, Maldonado indrømmede, at han simpelthen har undladt at beskytte sig selv, når de runder var nedtrapning.

 

“Jeg er lige blevet fanget med et par slag,” Maldonado said. “Han holdt sin ro og han kom ud med W. Jeg er lige blevet fanget. 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.”

 

I de vigtigste tilfælde af SHOWTIME BOKSNING på SHO EXTREME, ubesejret lys sværvægter udsigtVyacheslav Shabranskyy (12-0, 10 KOS) holdt sin perfekte rekord intakt med en grundigt overbevisende TKO sejr Garrett Wilson (13-9-1, 7 KOS).

 

Shabranskyy holdt sig på afstand og var meget effektiv; landing 48 procent af sin magt skudt og kastede mere end 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 sekunder af den ottende, 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.

 

Den holdbare Wilson tog en enorm bankende i det niende og tilsyneladende ikke landede en punch, tvinger dommer Jay Nady at stoppe kampen efter niende efter forslag fra ringside læge.

 

Ved indledningen anfald af SHO EXTREME telecast, sværvægter Eric Molina (23-2, 17 KOS) besejret Raphael Zumbano (32-9-1, 25 KOS) via ottende runde TKO i en ensidig affære.

 

Molina, der landede 76 procent af hans magt skud og mere end 50 procent af hans samlede slag, var tilslutning efter behag, når dommer Russell Mora standset konkurrencen på 1:28 af den ottende.

 

I et ikke-tv swing Bout, Cesar Quinonez (1-0, 1 KO), en Las Vegas indfødte og den første fighter til at gå professionelt fra Fernando Vargas’ gym Feroz Fight Factory, fik sin professionelle debut og scorede en knockout sejr over Chula Vista Joan Valenzuela (1-2) i anden runde på 2:13.
