Wilder faces former heavyweight champion Gold Cup su Showtime Championship Boxing® in un Novembre 4 rematch that headlines a Premier Boxing Champions event LIVE on ORARIO DELLO SPETTACOLO (9 p.m. E/6 p.m. PT) da Barclays Center, la casa di Brooklyn boxe ™.

 

“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,"Disse Wilder. “It’s mind boggling to see Americans support others before they support their own.”

 

Ha aggiunto: “I like to joke around. I like to laugh. I like to get corny sometimes. I like to get silly. Sai, 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 (Ottobre. 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 Novembre. 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 capisco. The best are supposed to fight the best, destra? 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 campione indiscusso. 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.
“Sono felice di essere qui, 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.

Su Ottobre. 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, Galles.
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.
“Nel primo combattimento, 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 il Mercoledì 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 Novembre. 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.
“Sono pronto, willing and able to seize back my title from Wilder,” Stiverne Dirita. “We all know that Wilder dodged a bullet in the first fight, ma non questa volta. It was my fault, but I learn from my mistakes. Su Novembre 4, Wilder will feel my pain.

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, come dicono, and Deontay Wilder still plans to put on a show for New York City,” ha detto Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment and promoter of the stacked Novembre. 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.

Deontay Wilder versus Luis Ortiz on Novembre 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,” ha detto Lou DiBella, Presidente di 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. Inoltre, 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,” ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “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 Aprile 22 in front of the Barclays Center faithful.
The 29-year-old Porter (27-2-1, 17 KO), 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,” disse 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 KO), di 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 Febbraio. 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 KO) 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. Nel suo più recente avvio, 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 KO) 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, Giappone, 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 KO) 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 a 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 KO) era un membro del 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, Calif. scored a fifth-round TKO victory over Polish heavyweight contender Izu Ugonoh on Febbraio. 25 in a memorable slugfest.

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

 

LAS VEGAS (Dicembre. 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 promotore Don “Only In America” King offered a simple solution:

 

Declare his fighter, Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 KO), di 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. Poi, 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 KO) 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; Lunedi, Jan. 19, at MGM Grand

LAS VEGAS (Jan. 19, 2015) - Due notti dopo essere stato ricoverato in ospedale dopo la sua perdita di sfidante imbattuto Deontay Wilder su ORARIO DELLO SPETTACOLO® dal MGM Grand Garden Arena, former WBC Heavyweight Champion Gold Cup, la sua Hall of Fame promotore, Don King, e il suo allenatore, Don Casa, ospitato in ritardo oggi una conferenza stampa presso l'MGM Grand.

 

Ecco quello che avevano da dire:

 

Promoter Don King

 

"Abbiamo chiamato questa conferenza stampa perché la Bermane abbiamo visto il Sabato notte non era il Bermane sappiamo tutti. Deontay Wilder ha fatto un ottimo lavoro; questa non è una conferenza stampa per scuse, è per fatto. I medici dell'ospedale di UMC ha detto che aveva un grave caso di disidratazione. I suoi muscoli non funzionavano e che pensava di avere sangue nelle urine, quindi hanno preso alcuni test e lo tennero in ospedale fino a questa mattina.

"Vogliamo applaudire Deontay Wilder per fare il suo lavoro, ma l'uomo prima di lui era handicap e in grado di fare il suo lavoro, ma che non dovrebbe togliere nulla dalla sua vittoria. Deontay eseguito e ha fatto un ottimo lavoro. E 'un peccato, ma Bermane dovrà farlo un altro giorno. Conoscendo il campione che abbiamo in Deontay ha così eloquentemente dichiarato che assumerà nessuno, Sono certo senza equivoci che avrebbe concesso una rivincita con il Bermane vero che l'uomo che è stato ostacolato nel ring, non togliere la vittoria che aveva e il modo in cui ha brillato.

"Lodiamo Deontay e speriamo di poter essere campione abbastanza a lungo per cui possiamo avere una rivincita della 'Return to Glory.'

"Proprio come il nostro grande esercito, quando vengono abbattuti, tornano di nuovo. Anche con la sua severa Bermane disidratazione era ancora lì per 12 round.

"Vogliamo ringraziare Richard Sturm, Presidente di MGM Grand intrattenimento e Stephen Espinoza con Showtime Boxing per giocare un ruolo importante per ottenere questo programma insieme. Ci complimentiamo sia il nostro personale e il personale MGM per fare un lavoro encomiabile per rendere questo accada. Lo spirito di 'Return to Glory' era alta. Abbiamo avuto una grande carta con Amir Imam nella lotta della notte, ottenendo abbattuto e tornare su. Tutti i combattimenti erano eccezionali. E 'stata una buona notte di boxe per i tifosi e questo è ciò che siamo veramente.

"Don Casa così eloquentemente dichiarato la salute dei Bermane è così importante così quando ho scoperto che era in ospedale, Sono andato a passare la giornata con lui, perché di solito abbiamo appena li inviamo in ospedale per fare il check out, ma hanno deciso di tenerlo. Quando hanno deciso di tenerlo, Ho dovuto andare lì e vedere il mio combattente. Il personale era eccezionale e molto gentile con me e molto definitiva su quello che potrebbe essere sbagliato e indagare tutti gli aspetti. Hanno detto che è sano e dovrebbe decollare un mese o giù di lì per riposare e poi mettersi al lavoro per preparare il suo ritorno alla gloria e riconquistare la corona dei pesi massimi che è attualmente detenuto da un grande campione di nome Deontay Wilder. "

Gold Cup

 

"Voglio chiedere scusa per non fare la conferenza stampa post-lotta. Purtroppo non sono stato in grado di eseguire in lotta come avrei voluto a causa di grave disidratazione e danno muscolare. Non sapevo che fosse così grave fino a quando mi hanno detto. Avrei potuto morire da esso. Sono felice di essere solo me stessa, walk and talk again. Thank God for this, questo è davvero ciò che conta per me per essere sano adesso.

"Non sapevo che la gravità di esso Sabato notte. Sono stato in grado di dare al popolo un bello spettacolo, 12 round di boxe. Se dovessi farlo di nuovo lo farei di nuovo. Questa non è la fine per me. Io darò un paio di settimane e poi tornare al lavoro. Ho una visione per questo, ma in questo momento è solo in pausa. E 'solo una questione di tempo prima che mi metterò di nuovo in piedi e camminare di nuovo. Quando si tratta di mia salute, Sono stato dimesso dall'ospedale. Non avrebbero lasciarmi andare finché non mi fui sufficientemente idratato. Sono grato. Grazie al mio promotore e allenatore, tutti coloro che mi ha accolto.

"Per i miei fans, Mi scuso per non essere in grado di eseguire, come fa di solito Bermane. Io so che le persone che veramente mi conoscono, so come io combatto. Il mio ultimo incontro con Chris Arreola, Ti ho dato un bello spettacolo. E 'un peccato che non potevo fare quello che volevo fare con la mia lotta con Deontay Wilder. Voglio congratularmi con lui, ha combattuto una buona battaglia. Speriamo che da qualche parte nel futuro ci incontreremo di nuovo.

"Grazie a tutti per essere venuti alla conferenza stampa, Sono tornato sui miei piedi 100 per cento in questo momento. Ho solo bisogno di un paio di settimane o un mese di riposo per tornare dove ho lasciato. "

DON HOUSE, Trainer di Stiverne

"Grazie ragazzi per uscire. La cosa più importante è che Bermane è OK. Questa è la mia preoccupazione principale. Ho notato da qualche parte nella lotta, probabilmente intorno al terzo o quarto turno, qualcosa non andava. Anche se mi ha detto che era OK, sappiamo tutti Bermane. Non mi dispiace aver perso una battaglia, ma sapevo che qualcosa non andava, quindi ero molto preoccupato. Intorno al nono o decimo giro ho pensato di fermare la lotta, perché non dovete continuare, ma voleva continuare a combattere.

"Tu non hai visto Bermane, avete visto forse 10-15 per cento di Bermane. Credo davvero e davvero sentito questo avrebbe dovuto essere una lotta decente per Bermane, ma sarebbe durato quattro turni o meno perché la sua potenza e velocità. Abbiamo mai sottovalutato. Ci siamo allenati come se stesse combattendo King Kong. Mi alleno ogni combattente come quello, sottovalutare nessuno. Ma Sabatonotte, abbiamo avuto circa 15 per cento di Bermane.

"Stiamo andando a guardare indietro, Vediamo cosa abbiamo fatto di sbagliato, come possiamo fare meglio le cose, quello che avremmo dovuto fare. Ci sarà uno sguardo a come la disidratazione può essere accaduto. Ci sarà uno sguardo alla lotta e alcune delle cose che abbiamo fatto in allenamento e scoprire che cosa abbiamo fatto di sbagliato ".

LAS VEGAS (Jan. 17, 2015) – E il nuovo World Heavyweight Champion WBC…

 

L'America ha finalmente il suo campione del mondo dei pesi massimi come Alabama di Deontay Wilder campione in carica detronizzato Gold Cup tramite decisione unanime (118-109, 119-108, 120-107) Sabato su ORARIO DELLO SPETTACOLO® dal MGM Grand Garden Arena a Las Vegas.

 

Wilder (33-0, 32 KO), che non aveva mai combattuto oltre il quarto turno e aveva messo fuori tutto 32 dei suoi avversari professionali, 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, colpendo sempre di istituire un potente destro dritto.

 

Combattere su Hall of Famer Muhammad Ali 73rd compleanno, Wilder è diventato il primo imbattuto campione dei pesi massimi americani dal Riddick Bowe in 1992 e il primo campione americano da quando Shannon Briggs ha vinto la corona in 2006.

 

“Sono solo emozionato e felice di portare questa cintura in America,” Wilder said. “Sta andando a significare molto. I think I answered a lot of questions tonight. We knew we could go 12 round. We knew we could take a punch. We knew we could do it.

 

La voce nella prima lotta campionato dei pesi massimi al MGM Grand in quanto il famigerato morso all'orecchio Mike Tyson-Evander Holyfield in 1997, c'erano domande da addetti ai lavori boxe se Wilder, che non era mai stato veramente testato, in grado di gestire la potenza di un vero peso massimo e ultima nelle fasi successive. But Wilder answered those questions with a disciplined game plan, atterraggio più del doppio i pugni totali e gettando 420 colpi a Stiverne di 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, Sono pronto.”

 

Stiverne (24-2-1, 21 KO) è stato in grado di scaglionare Wilder con un paio di colpi, 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 colpi rispetto a Wilder 120.

 

“Non era la mia notte,” Stiverne Dirita. “Sentivo 100 per cento prima che la lotta, ma una volta ho avuto sul ring non ho potuto tagliare l'anello, I couldn’t move my head like I usually do. Cosa posso dire? 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 Campione del Mondo Leo Santa Cruz ha difeso la sua corona per la quarta volta con una TKO ottavo l'anno di Gesù Ruiz e postfazione chiamò compagni campioni Abner Mares e Guillermo Rigondeaux in co-feature di Showtime Championship Boxing.

 

I primi giri sono stati vicini e competitivo e Ruiz, un perdente pesante, 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, per la prima volta, sembrava che avrebbe potuto finire Ruiz.

 

Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17 KO) uscito ardente in ottava, 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, arbitro Kenny Bayless saltato e si fermò l'incontro con Ruiz (32-6-5, 21 KO) ancora in piedi a :29 of the eighth round. The champion landed 43 per cento dei suoi pugni totali e quasi 50 per cento dei suoi pugni di potenza, durante l'atterraggio un impressionante 73 colpi di potenza al corpo.

 

“Come mi aspettavo, era una 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. Voglio (Abner) Madri, Voglio (Fattura) Rigondeaux. Speriamo che il nostro prossimo combattimento è contro uno dei migliori.”

 

Ruiz, che solo sbarcati 22 per cento dei suoi pugni totale, in disaccordo con l'arresto.

 

“Voglio una rivincita,” Ha detto Ruiz. “Non mi sento che dovrebbero hanno smesso la lotta, but I have to accept it. But I’m fine. Guardami – Non sono tagliato. Lui non mi ha nemmeno cadere.”

 

Nel match della trasmissione televisiva Showtime Championship Boxing apertura, imbattuto super leggero Amir I pavimentata Fidel Maldonado Jr. quattro volte e ha ottenuto un quinto round TKO in una rissa che ha caratterizzato cinque atterramenti totale.

 

Maldonado è stato il combattente più occupato, ma Imam pavimentato il residente Albuquerque per la quarta volta nella sua carriera con una breve giusto un attimo prima che la campana suonò per terminare la seconda. Poi, in un candidato in anticipo per round of the Year che ha caratterizzato tre atterramenti, Maldonado ha risposto abbattendo Imam per la prima volta nella sua carriera 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 secondi dalla fine del terzo e poi di nuovo con un diretto destro, come parte di un attacco feroce con meno 10 secondi dalla fine del round.

 

L'azione prosegue e Imam (16-0, 14 KO) 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 KO) si alzò ma è stato barcollando e arbitro Robert Byrd fermato la gara al 2:59. Imam’s power was the difference, atterraggio 50 per cento dei suoi colpi di potenza.

 

“E 'stato un atterramento difficile, ma i campioni si alzano e finire la lotta dura e questo è quello che ho fatto,” Imam disse. “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, bambino.

 

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

 

Quattro dei cinque atterramenti verificato con meno 30 seconds left in each round. Dopo la lotta, Maldonado ha ammesso che non è riuscito semplicemente a proteggere se stesso quando i giri sono stati ciondolare.

 

“Ho appena stato preso con un paio di pugni,” Maldonado said. “Ha mantenuto la sua compostezza e lui è uscito con la W. I just got caught. I got lazy in there and he capitalized. Era l'uomo migliore stasera. I got kind of bored at the end of the rounds and I paid for it.

 

Nel main event di SHOWTIME BOXING su SHO EXTREME, imbattuto prospettiva dei pesi massimi leggeriVyacheslav Shabranskyy (12-0, 10 KO) mantenuto il suo record perfetto intatto con una vittoria per TKO completamente convincente di Garrett Wilson (13-9-1, 7 KO).

 

Shabranskyy mantenne le distanze ed è stato molto efficace; atterraggio 48 per cento del suo tiro di potenza e ha gettato più di 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 secondi della ottava, 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.

 

Il resistente Wilson ha preso una tremenda batosta nel nono e apparentemente non atterrare un pugno, costringendo arbitro Jay Nady per fermare l'incontro dopo il nono su suggerimento del medico di bordo ring.

 

Nel match della trasmissione televisiva SHO EXTREME apertura, pesi massimi Eric Molina (23-2, 17 KO) sconfitto Raphael Zumbano (32-9-1, 25 KO) via TKO ottavo round in un affare unilaterale.

 

Molina, che sbarcò 76 per cento dei suoi colpi di potenza e oltre 50 per cento dei suoi pugni totale, è stato il collegamento a piacimento quando arbitro Russell Mora fermato la gara al 1:28 dell'ottavo.

 

In un incontro non-televisivo altalena, Cesar Quinonez (1-0, 1 KO), un nativo di Las Vegas e il primo caccia per andare professionale da Fernando Vargas’ palestra Feroz Lotta fabbrica, ha fatto il suo debutto professionale e ha ottenuto una vittoria eliminazione diretta su Chula Vista Joan Valenzuela (1-2) nel secondo turno a 2:13.
