Wilder faces former heavyweight champion Gold Cup en Showtime Championship Boxing® nunha Novembro 4 rematch that headlines a Premier Boxing Champions event LIVE on ALTURA DE COMEZAR (9 p.m. E/6 p.m. PT) do Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™.

 

“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.”

 

engadiu: “I like to joke around. I like to laugh. I like to get corny sometimes. I like to get silly. Vostede sabe, 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 (Outubro. 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 Novembro. 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. Non entendo. The best are supposed to fight the best, dereito? 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 campión indiscutible. 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.
“Estou feliz por estar aquí, 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 Sete. 2.

The event is presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™.
Wilder (38-0, 37 Kos) dethroned defending champion Stiverne in January 2015 via unanimous decision in what was the promising challenger’s toughest fight to date. Coa vitoria, Wilder became the first American heavyweight champion in nearly a decade and he has gone on to defend the title five times. Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 Kos) remains the only Wilder opponent to go the distance with the hard-hitting Tuscaloosa, Á., native who has knocked out every other professional opponent on his long resume.

The Nov. 4 main event will be the second heavyweight world championship bout to air live on SHOWTIME on back-to-back Saturdays. En Outubro. 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, Gales.
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 said. “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 o mércores 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 Novembro. 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.
“Estou preparado, willing and able to seize back my title from Wilder,” Stiverne DiRita. “We all know that Wilder dodged a bullet in the first fight, pero non esta vez. It was my fault, but I learn from my mistakes. En Novembro 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, como din, and Deontay Wilder still plans to put on a show for New York City,” dixo Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment and promoter of the stacked Novembro. 4 evento. “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.
Na co-metragem canle Showtime Championship Boxing, former welterweight world champion Shawn Porter will battle perennial contender Adrian Granados in a matchup of two all-action fighters.

Deontay Wilder versus Luis Ortiz on Novembro 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,” dixo Lou DiBella, Presidente da 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. Adicionalmente, 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,” said Tom Brown, Presidente da TGB Promocións. “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 Abril 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,” afirmou 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), de 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 Febreiro. 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. No seu inicio máis recente, 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 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, Xapón, 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 en 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) era un membro da 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. In his last match, the fighter from of Alhambra, Califa. scored a fifth-round TKO victory over Polish heavyweight contender Izu Ugonoh on Febreiro. 25 in a memorable slugfest.

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

 

LAS VEGAS (Decembro. 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 Kos), de 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. Logo, 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.

Ex WBC Heavyweight Champion Gold Cup, HALL OF FAME PROMOTER DON KING, TRAINER DON HOUSE MEET THE MEDIA TO DISCUSS BOXER’S CONDITION, FUTURE FOLLOWING HIS LOSS TO DONTAY WILDER ON SATURDAY NIGHT

 

Press Conference Quotes; Luns, Xan. 19, at MGM Grand

LAS VEGAS (Xan. 19, 2015) - Dúas noites despois de ser hospitalizado tras a súa derrota para desafiante invicto Deontay Wilder en ALTURA DE COMEZAR® do MGM Grand Garden Arena, former WBC Heavyweight Champion Gold Cup, seu Salón da Fama promotor, Don King, eo seu adestrador, Don Casa, organizou unha conferencia de prensa final de hoxe no MGM Grand.

 

Aquí está o que eles tiñan que dicir:

 

O promotor Don King

 

"Chamamos esta rolda de prensa, xa que o Bermane vimos o sábado noite non era o Bermane todos sabemos. Deontay Wilder fixo un traballo moi bo; esta non é unha conferencia de prensa para desculpas, é por feito. Os médicos do hospital da UMC dixo que tiña un caso grave de deshidratación. Os seus músculos non estaban funcionando e eles pensaron que tiña sangue na súa urina, entón eles levaron algunhas probas e seguro-o no hospital ata esta mañá.

"Queremos aplaudir Deontay Wilder para facer o seu traballo, pero o home diante del era deficiente e incapaz de facer o seu traballo, pero iso non debe sacar nada da súa vitoria. Deontay realizado e fixo un gran traballo. É lamentable, pero Bermane terá que facelo un día. Sabendo o campión que temos en Deontay tan elocuentemente afirmou que vai asumir ninguén, Estou seguro, sen ningunha equívoco que ía conceder un desquite co Bermane real do que o home que estaba en desvantaxe no arena, non aproveitar a vitoria que tiña e do xeito que el brillou.

"Louvamos Deontay e espero que poida ser campión longo o suficiente para que poidamos ter un desquite da 'Return to Glory".

"Así como o noso gran militar, cando é derrubado, eles volven de novo. Mesmo coa súa grave Bermane deshidratación aínda ficou alí por 12 rounds.

"Queremos agradecer a Richard Sturm, Presidente da MGM Grand entretemento e Stephen Espinoza coa Showtime Boxing para xogar un papel importante no sentido de obter este programa xuntos. Aplaudimos tanto o noso equipo eo equipo MGM para facer un traballo louvável para facer isto acontecer. O espírito de "retorno á gloria 'foi alta. Tivemos un gran tarxeta con Amir Imam na loita da noite, quedando derrubado e recibindo de volta. Todas as loitas foron excepcionais. Foi unha boa noite de boxeo para os fans e iso é o que estamos realmente sobre.

"Don Casa de forma tan elocuente declarou a saúde de Bermane é tan importante así, cando descubrín que estaba no hospital, Eu fun para estar o día alí con el, porque xeralmente nós só envialos ao hospital para obter check-out, pero decidiron mantelo. Cando decidiron mantelo, Eu tiña que chegar alí e ver o meu loitador. O equipo foi excelente e moi agradable para min e moi definitiva sobre o que podería estar mal e investigar todos os aspectos. Eles dixeron que é saudable e debe tomar un mes ou máis para descansar un pouco e, a continuación, comezar a traballar para preparar o seu regreso á gloria e recuperar a coroa pesada que é actualmente ocupado por un gran campión nomeado Deontay Wilder ".

Gold Cup

 

"Quero pedir desculpas por non facer a roda de prensa post-loita. Por desgraza eu non era capaz de realizar na loita como eu quería debido á deshidratación grave e lesión muscular. Eu non sabía que era tan grave, ata que me dixo. Eu podería morrer por ela. Estou feliz por ser eu mesmo, walk and talk again. Thank God for this, iso é realmente o que importa para min ser saudable agora.

"Eu non sabía da gravidade da mesma Sábado noite. Eu era capaz de dar ao pobo un bo concerto, 12 rounds de boxeo. Se eu tivese que facer de novo eu faría de novo. Este non é o fin para min. Vou dar-lle un par de semanas e, a continuación, volver ao traballo. Eu teño unha visión a este, pero agora é só unha pausa. É só unha cuestión de tempo antes de volver para os meus pés e andar de novo. Cando se trata de miña saúde, Teño sido liberado do hospital. Eles non me deixaron saír ata que eu estaba suficientemente hidratado. Son grata. Grazas ao meu promotor e adestrador, a todos os que me acolleu.

"Para os meus fans, Pido desculpas por non ser capaz de realizar como Bermane normalmente fai. Sei que as persoas que realmente me coñecen, sabe como eu loito. Miña última loita con Chris Arreola, Eu lle dei un bo concerto. É unha pena que eu non podería facer o que eu quería facer coa miña loita con Deontay Wilder. Quero parabenizá-lo, el loitou o bo combate. Esperemos que en algún lugar no futuro iremos nos atopar de novo.

"Grazas a todos por vir á conferencia de prensa, Estou de volta en meus pés 100 por cento agora. Eu só teño un par de semanas ou un mes de descanso para estar de volta de onde parei. "

DON CASA, Adestrador do Stiverne

"Grazas a vós por teren benvida. O máis importante é que Bermane é OK. Esa é a miña principal preocupación. Notei algún lugar na loita, probabelmente ao redor do terceiro ou cuarta rolda, algo non estaba seguro. Aínda que el me dixo que estaba OK, todos sabemos Bermane. Non me importa de perder unha loita, pero eu sabía que algo non estaba seguro, entón eu estaba moi preocupado. En torno á novena rolda ou 10 eu estaba a pensar en deixar a loita, porque non ten que seguir, pero el quería seguir loitando.

"Vostede non viu Bermane, viu quizais 10-15 por cento de Bermane. Realmente creo e realmente sentín que isto debería ser unha loita decente para Bermane, pero duraría catro roldas ou menos porque a súa potencia e velocidade. Nunca o subestimou. Entrenamos como se estivese loitando King Kong. Eu adestramento todo loitador así, subestime ninguén. Pero Sábadonoite, tivemos preto 15 por cento de Bermane.

"Nós imos ollar cara atrás, ver o que fixemos mal, como podemos facer as cousas mellor, o que deberiamos ter feito. Imos dar un ollo a como a deshidratación pode acontecer. Imos dar un ollo na loita e algunhas das cousas que fixemos no adestramento e descubrir o que fixemos mal. "

LAS VEGAS (Xan. 17, 2015) – E o novo WBC World Heavyweight Champion…

 

América finalmente ten o seu campión mundial dos pesos pesados ​​como Alabama de Deontay Wilder destronado campión Gold Cup por decisión unánime (118-109, 119-108, 120-107) Sábado ALTURA DE COMEZAR® do MGM Grand Garden Arena en Las Vegas.

 

Wilder (33-0, 32 Kos), que nunca loitara pasado a cuarta rolda e tiña nocauteado todo 32 dos seus opoñentes profesionais, 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, espetando consistente a creación dun potente directo de dereita.

 

Loitando na Hall of Famer Muhammad Ali 73rd aniversario, Wilder converteuse no primeiro campión peso pesado americano invicto desde Riddick Bowe en 1992 e o primeiro campión estadounidense desde Shannon Briggs gañou a coroa en 2006.

 

“Estou animado e feliz por traer ese cinto de volta a Estados Unidos,” Wilder said. “Significará moito. I think I answered a lot of questions tonight. We knew we could go 12 rounds. We knew we could take a punch. We knew we could do it.

 

Dirixímonos connosco para a primeira loita do campionato de pesos pesados ​​no MGM Grand desde o infame Mike Tyson-Evander Holyfield mordida orella en 1997, houbo preguntas dos insiders boxeo se Wilder, que nunca fora verdadeiramente probada, podería manexar o poder dun verdadeiro peso pesado e último nas últimas roldas. But Wilder answered those questions with a disciplined game plan, desembarco máis que o dobre do total de socos e xogando 420 jabs para Stiverne de 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, Estou listo.”

 

Stiverne (24-2-1, 21 Kos) soubo graduar Wilder con algúns tiros, 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 comparación con Wilder 120.

 

“Non foi a miña noite,” Stiverne DiRita. “Sentinme 100 por cento antes da loita, pero cando cheguei no arena eu non podía cortar o anel, I couldn’t move my head like I usually do. O que podo dicir? 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 Bantamweight Campión do Mundo Leo Santa Cruz defendeu a súa coroa por cuarta vez cun TKO oitava rolda de Xesús Ruiz e posfácio chamou compañeiros campións Abner Mares e Guillermo Rigondeaux en co-metragem da canle Showtime Championship Boxing.

 

As primeiras roldas foron próximos e competitivo e Ruiz, unha gran cebra, 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, por primeira vez, parecía que puidese rematar Ruiz.

 

Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17 Kos) saíu en chamas na oitava, 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, árbitro Kenny BAYLESS pulou na auga e parou a loita con Ruiz (32-6-5, 21 Kos) aínda de pé no :29 of the eighth round. The champion landed 43 por cento do seu total de socos e case 50 por cento dos seus golpes de enerxía, mentres pousava unha impresionante 73 tiros de enerxía para o corpo.

 

“Como eu esperaba, era unha guerra,” 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. Quería (Abner) Nais, Quería (Proxecto de lei) Rigondeaux. Esperemos que a nosa próxima loita é contra un dos mellores.”

 

Ruiz, que só desembarcou 22 por cento do seu total de socos, discreparon da paralización.

 

“Quero un desquite,” Ruiz dixo. “Eu non sinto que debería parado a loita, but I have to accept it. But I’m fine. Olle para min – Eu non vou cortar. El nin sequera me soltar.”

 

Na loita de a cerimonia Showtime Championship Boxing apertura, invicto super lixeiro Amir I pavimentado Fidel Maldonado Jr. catro veces e marcou un TKO quinta redonda nunha pelexa que contou con cinco knockdowns en total.

 

Maldonado foi o loitador máis movida, pero Imam pavimentado o residente Albuquerque, por cuarta vez na súa carreira cun só un momento curto dereita antes de o timbre tocou para pechar a segunda. Logo, nun dos primeiros candidatos para a Rolda do ano que contou con tres knockdowns, Maldonado respondeu derrubou Imam por primeira vez na súa carreira 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 segundos para o final do terceiro e, a continuación, de novo con un directo de dereita, como parte dun ataque vicioso, con menos de 10 segundos para o final da rolda.

 

A acción continuou e 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) Levantouse, pero foi cambaleando e árbitro Robert Byrd deixou o concurso en 2:59. Imam’s power was the difference, aterraxe 50 por cento dos seus tiros de enerxía.

 

“Foi un knockdown difícil, pero campións levantarse e rematar a loita difícil e iso é o que eu fixen,” Imam dixo. “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, bebé.

 

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

 

Catro dos cinco knockdowns ocorreu con menos de 30 seconds left in each round. Tras a loita, Maldonado admitiu que el simplemente non conseguiu protexer-se cando as roldas foron sinuosas.

 

“Eu só foi pego con un par de golpes,” Maldonado said. “El mantivo a compostura e saíu co 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.

 

No evento principal da Showtime Boxing en SHO EXTREME, invicto perspectiva dos medio-pesadosVyacheslav Shabranskyy (12-0, 10 Kos) mantivo a súa marca perfecto intacto cunha vitoria ben convincente TKO de Garrett Wilson (13-9-1, 7 Kos).

 

Shabranskyy mantivo a distancia e foi moi eficaz; aterraxe 48 por cento do seu remate poder e lanzou máis de 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 segundos do oitavo, 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.

 

O Wilson duradeiro levou unha tremenda malleira no noveno e aparentemente non acadar un zócolo, forzando árbitro Jay Nady deixar a loita, tras a novena por suxestión do médico do arena.

 

Na loita de a cerimonia de apertura SHO EXTREME, Heavyweight Eric Molina (23-2, 17 Kos) derrotado Raphael Zumbano (32-9-1, 25 Kos) vía TKO oitava rolda nun caso unilateral.

 

Molina, que desembarcou 76 por cento dos seus tiros de enerxía e máis de 50 por cento do seu total de socos, estaba conectando a gusto cando o árbitro Russell Mora deixou o concurso en 1:28 do oitavo.

 

Nun balance loita non televisada, Cesar Quinonez (1-0, 1 KO), un nativo de Las Vegas e o primeiro loitador a ir profesional de Fernando Vargas’ ximnasio Feroz Loita Fábrica, fixo súa estrea profesional e tivo unha vitoria por KO sobre de Chula Vista Joan Valenzuela (1-2) na segunda rolda 2:13.
