Wilder faces former heavyweight champion Gold Cup fuq SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP boxing® fil Novembru 4 rematch that headlines a Premier Boxing Champions event LIVE on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. U/6 p.m. PT) minn 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.”

 

huwa żied: “I like to joke around. I like to laugh. I like to get corny sometimes. I like to get silly. You know, 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 (Ottubru. 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 Novembru. 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. Ma nifhimx. The best are supposed to fight the best, dritt? 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 champion paċifiku. 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.
“Ninsab kuntenta li jkun hawn, 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.”

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.

“I am lest, willing and able to seize back my title from Wilder,” Stiverne Dirita. “We all know that Wilder dodged a bullet in the first fight, imma mhux dan iż-żmien. It was my fault, but I learn from my mistakes. Fuq Novembru 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, kif jgħidu, and Deontay Wilder still plans to put on a show for New York City,” qal Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment and promoter of the stacked Novembru. 4 avveniment. “Considering Stiverne’s status as mandatory challenger, he was always going to be a roadblock in Deontay’s quest for heavyweight unification.

“Deontay Wilder versus Luis Ortiz on Novembru 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,” qal Lou DiBella, President tal 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. Barra minn hekk, 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, President tal Promozzjonijiet 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 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), ta '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 Frar. 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. Fil-bidu l-aktar reċenti tiegħu, 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, Ġappun, 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 fil 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) kien membru tal- 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 Frar. 25 in a memorable slugfest.

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

Ħalli kumment

 

LAS VEGAS (Diċembru. 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, Sala ta 'promotur Fame Don “Only In America” King offered a simple solution:

 

Declare his fighter, Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 Kos), ta '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 (VADA) on Saturday morning. Imbagħad, 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.

Hawn dak li kellhom jgħidu:

 

Promotur DON KING

 

"Aħna sejjaħ din il-konferenza stampa għaliex il Bermane rajna nhar is-Sibt lejl ma kienx il-Bermane nafu lkoll. Deontay Wilder għamlet xogħol tajjeb ħafna; din mhix konferenza stampa skużi, huwa f'idejn fatt. Il-tobba fl-isptar tal-UMC qal li hu kellu każ sever ta 'deidrazzjoni. Muskoli tiegħu ma kienux jaħdmu u ħasbu kellu demm fl-awrina tiegħu, sabiex ikunu ħadu xi testijiet u miżmuma lilu fl-isptar sakemm dalgħodu.

"Aħna rridu li infaħħar Deontay Wilder biex isir ix-xogħol tiegħu, iżda l-bniedem quddiemu kien b'diżabilità u kapaċi jagħmlu xogħol tiegħu, iżda dan m'għandux jieħu xejn bogħod mill rebħa tiegħu. Deontay mwettqa u għamlet biċċa xogħol tajba. Hija ħasra, iżda Bermane ser ikollhom jagħmlu dan jum ieħor. Jafu l-ċampjin għandna fl Deontay jkun hekk eloquently iddikjara li huwa se jieħu fuq xi ħadd, I am ċerti mingħajr ebda ekwivoki hu se jawtorizza rematch mal-Bermane reali milli l-bniedem li kien b'diżabilità fl-ċirku, mhux qed tieħu l bogħod l-rebħa kellu u l-mod hu shined.

"Aħna tifħir Deontay u t-tama hu jista 'jkun champion twil biżżejjed biex fejn nistgħu jkollhom rematch tal-" Ritorn għall Glory. "

"Eżatt bħal militari kbir tagħna, meta huma jiksbu knocked stabbiliti, huma jiksbu lura mill-ġdid. Anke ma Bermane tiegħu deidrazzjoni severa xorta kien hemm għall 12 rawnds.

"Aħna rridu li nirringrazzja Richard Sturm, President ta 'divertiment MGM Grand u Stephen Espinoza ma SHOWTIME Boxing għal playing a sehem maġġuri fit jkollna dan il-programm flimkien. Aħna infaħħar kemm l-istaff tagħna u l-persunal MGM biex isir xogħol ifaħħarha għat-teħid dan iseħħ. L-ispirtu ta '"Ritorn għall Glory" kien għoli. Kellna card kbir mal Amir Imam fil-ġlieda tal-lejl, jkollna knocked stabbiliti u jkollna lura up. Kollha tal-ġlied kienu eċċezzjonali. Kien lejl tajba ta 'boxing għall-fannijiet u li huwa dak li aħna verament dwar.

"Don House hekk eloquently iddikjarat is-saħħa tal Bermane huwa tant importanti hekk meta I sab li kien fl-isptar, I marru biex jibqgħu l-jum hemm miegħu għaliex normalment aħna biss tibgħathom lill-isptar biex tikseb ċċekkjati out, iżda huma ddeċidew li jżommu lilu. Meta ddeċidew li jżommu lilu, I kellha tikseb minn hemm u ara ġellied tiegħi. Il-persunal kien terrific u gracious ħafna lili u definittiva ħafna dwar dak li jista 'jkun żbaljat u tinvestiga l-aspetti kollha. Huma qal li huwa b'saħħtu u għandhom jieħdu off xahar jew hekk biex nikseb xi mistrieħ u mbagħad jiksbu biex jaħdmu biex jippreparaw għar-ritorn tiegħu għall-glorja u rkuprar l-kuruna heavyweight li bħalissa qed tinżamm minn champion kbir jismu Deontay Wilder. "

Gold Cup

 

"Irrid ruhna biex ma jagħtux il-konferenza stampa wara l-ġlieda. Sfortunatament I ma kienx kapaċi jwettqu fil-ġlieda bħal jien ridt li 'minħabba deidrazzjoni severa u ħsara fil-muskoli. Ma kontx naf li kien li serju sakemm huma told me. I setgħet mietu minn dan. Ninsab kuntenta li jkun biss myself, walk and talk again. Thank God for this, dan huwa verament dak li jgħodd għalija li jkunu b'saħħithom dritt issa.

"Ma kontx naf-severità ta 'dan IS-SIBT lejl. I kien kapaċi jagħti lill-poplu juru tajjeb, 12 rawnds ta 'boxing. Jekk I kellha tagħmel dan mill-ġdid nixtieq jagħmlu mill-ġdid. Dan mhuwiex it-tmiem għalija. I se tagħtiha ftit ġimgħat u mbagħad terġa 'lura għax-xogħol. I jkollhom viżjoni għal din, iżda issa dritt huwa biss fuq pause. Huwa biss kwistjoni ta 'żmien qabel I se terġa' lura fuq saqajn tiegħi u jimxu mill-ġdid. Meta niġu għas-saħħa tiegħi, I ġew rilaxxati mill-isptar. Huma ma let me leave sakemm I kien idrati biżżejjed. Ich danke. Grazzi għal promotur tiegħi u trainer, kulħadd li laqa lili.

"Biex fannijiet tiegħi, I ruhna li ma kinitx f'pożizzjoni li jwettaq bħal Bermane normalment ma. Naf li nies li verament jafu lili, taf kif I ġlieda. Ġlieda aħħar My ma 'Chris Arreola, I taw inti juru tajjeb. Hija ħasra li jien ma setgħux jagħmlu dak li ridt li tagħmel mal-ġlieda tiegħi ma Deontay Wilder. Irrid nifraħ lilu, huwa ġġieldu ġlieda tajba. Nisperaw x'imkien fil-futur aħna se jerġgħu jiltaqgħu.

"Grazzi lil kulħadd għall ġejjin biex il-konferenza stampa, I am lura fuq saqajn tiegħi 100 mija dritt issa. I biss bżonn ftit ġimgħat jew xahar ta 'mistrieħ li jiġu lura fejn tlaqt off. "

DON HOUSE, Trainer Stiverne tal-

"Grazzi guys għall ġejjin out. L-aktar ħaġa importanti hija li Bermane huwa OK. Dan huwa tħassib ewlieni tiegħi. I ndunat x'imkien fil-ġlieda, probabbilment madwar it-tielet jew raba 'round, xi ħaġa ma kienx dritt. Anki jekk hu told me li kien OK, nafu lkoll Bermane. I ma mind jitilfu ġlieda, imma kont naf xi ħaġa ma kienx dritt, so I kien imħasseb ħafna. Madwar id-disa 'jew 10 round I kienet taħseb biex tieqaf il-ġlieda għaliex inti ma jkollhom ikomplu, imma ried li jkompli jiġġieled.

"Inti ma tara Bermane, inti raw forsi 10-15 mija ta 'Bermane. I verament nemmnu u verament ħass dan missu kien ġlieda deċenti għal Bermane, imma kieku l-aħħar erba 'rawnds jew anqas għax-poter tiegħu u l-veloċità. Aħna qatt sottovalutati lilu. Aħna mħarrġa daqs li kieku kien ġlied King Kong. I ferrovija kull ġellied bħal dik, jissottovalutaw l-ebda wieħed. Iżda IS-SIBTlejl, kellna dwar 15 mija ta 'Bermane.

"Aħna qed tmur biex tħares lura, tara dak li għamilna ħażin, kif nistgħu nagħmlu l-affarijiet aħjar, dak li għandna għamlu. Aħna se tagħti ħarsa lejn kif il-deidrazzjoni jista 'jkollhom ġara. Aħna se tagħti ħarsa lejn il-ġlieda u xi wħud mill-affarijiet għamilna fit-taħriġ u nsib dak li għamilna ħażin. "

LAS VEGAS (Jan. 17, 2015) – U l-WBC Heavyweight World Champion ġdida…

 

Amerika finalment għandha champion tad-dinja heavyweight tagħha bħala l Alabama Deontay Wilder champion tiddefendi dethroned Gold Cup via deċiżjoni unanima (118-109, 119-108, 120-107) IS-SIBT fuq SHOWTIME® mill- MGM Grand Garden Arena fil Las Vegas.

 

Wilder (33-0, 32 Kos), li qatt ma kienu ġġieldu fil-passat ir-raba 'round u kienu knocked out kollha 32 ta 'avversarji professjonali tiegħu, 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 konsistentement li jitwaqqaf dritt dritta qawwija.

 

Il-ġlieda kontra fuq Sala tal Famer Muhammad Ali 73rd birthday, Wilder saret l-ewwel ċampjin heavyweight Amerikana undefeated peress Riddick Bowe fl 1992 u l-ewwel ċampjin Amerikana peress Shannon Briggs rebaħ il-kuruna fil 2006.

 

“Jien biss eċċitati u kuntenti li tressaq dan ċinturin lura lejn l-Amerika,” Wilder said. “Huwa ser tfisser ħafna. I think I answered a lot of questions tonight. We knew we could go 12 rawnds. We knew we could take a punch. We knew we could do it.”

 

Intestatura fil-ġlieda ewwel kampjonat heavyweight fil MGM Grand peress li l-gidma infami widna Mike Tyson-Evander Holyfield fil 1997, kien hemm mistoqsijiet mill insiders boxing jekk Wilder, li qatt ma kienu verament ittestjati, tista 'timmaniġġja l-poter ta' heavyweight vera u l-aħħar fir-rawnds aktar tard. But Wilder answered those questions with a disciplined game plan, inżul aktar mid-doppju l-puntelli totali u jitfg 420 jabs lil tal-Stiverne 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, Jien lest.”

 

Stiverne (24-2-1, 21 Kos) kien kapaċi iqassam Wilder ma shots ftit, 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 meta mqabbla mal ta Wilder 120.

 

“Ma kienx lejl tiegħi,” Stiverne Dirita. “I felt 100 mija qabel il-ġlieda imma ladarba I ltqajna fil-ċirku I ma jista 'jnaqqas l-ring, I couldn’t move my head like I usually do. X'nista ngħid jien? 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 World Champion Leo Santa Cruz iddefenda kuruna tiegħu għall-raba 'darba ma' TKO tmien round ta 'Ġesù Ruiz u afterword sejjaħ out ċampjins sħabi Mares Abner u Guillermo Rigondeaux fil-ko-karatteristika ta' SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP boxing.

 

Il rawnds kmieni kienu viċin u kompetittiva u Ruiz, underdog tqil, 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, għall-ewwel darba, deher li hu seta 'jkompli Ruiz.

 

Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17 Kos) ħareġ tisreġ fil-tmien, 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, referee Kenny Bayless qabża fi u waqqaf il-bout ma Ruiz (32-6-5, 21 Kos) għadhom fuq saqajh fil :29 of the eighth round. The champion landed 43 mija tal puntelli totali tiegħu u kważi 50 mija ta 'puntelli enerġija tiegħu, filwaqt inżul impressjonanti 73 shots qawwa lill-korp.

 

“Like I mistennija, kien gwerra,” 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. Irrid (Abner) Ommijiet, Irrid (Bill) Rigondeaux. Nisperaw ġlieda li jmiss tagħna huwa kontra wieħed mill-aħjar.”

 

Ruiz, li ġew żbarkati biss 22 mija tal puntelli totali tiegħu, ma qabilx mal-waqfien.

 

“Irrid rematch,” Ruiz qal. “I ma jħossux li għandhom waqfu l-ġlieda, but I have to accept it. But I’m fine. Ħares lejja – Jien mhux maqtugħa. Hu ma anki qatra me.”

 

Fil-bout ftuħ tal-telecast SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP boxing, undefeated super ħfief Amir I floored Fidel Maldonado Jr. erba 'darbiet u skorja TKO-ħames round fi brawl li dehru ħames knockdowns totali.

 

Maldonado kien l-ġlied aktar mimlija, iżda Imam floored l resident Albuquerque għar-raba 'darba fil-karriera tiegħu ma' qasir dritt ftit mument qabel il-qanpiena rang biex tintemm it-tieni. Imbagħad, fi kandidat bikrija għall Round tas-Sena li dehru tliet knockdowns, Maldonado wieġbet billi iħabbtu fl Imam għall-ewwel darba fil-karriera tiegħu 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 sekondi xellug fit-tielet u mbagħad għal darb'oħra bi dritt dritta bħala parti minn attakk vizzjuż b'inqas minn 10 sekondi xellug fir-rawnd.

 

L-azzjoni kontinwa u 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) ltqajna up, iżda kien wobbling u referee Robert Byrd jitwaqqaf il-konkors fil 2:59. Imam’s power was the difference, inżul 50 mija ta 'shots enerġija tiegħu.

 

“Kienet knockdown iebsa, imma ċampjins qum u jispiċċaw il-ġlieda iebsa u dan huwa dak li għamilt,” Imam qal. “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.”

 

Erba 'mill-ħames knockdowns seħħew b'inqas minn 30 seconds left in each round. Wara l-ġlieda, Maldonado ammetta li kien sempliċement naqas milli jipproteġi lilu nnifsu meta l-rawnds kienu likwidazzjoni.

 

“I biss ltqajna maqbuda ma 'koppja ta' puntelli,” Maldonado said. “Hu jinżamm composure tiegħu u hu ħareġ bl-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.”

 

Fil-każ prinċipali ta 'SHOWTIME boxing fuq ESTREM SHO, prospett heavyweight dawl undefeatedVyacheslav Shabranskyy (12-0, 10 Kos) jinżamm rekord perfett tiegħu intatti b'rebħa TKO konvinċenti sewwa ta Garrett Wilson (13-9-1, 7 Kos).

 

Shabranskyy miżmuma distanza tiegħu u kien effettiv ħafna; inżul 48 mija ta 'sparatura poter tiegħu u threw aktar minn 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 sekondi tat-tmien, 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 Wilson durabbli ħa swat tremenda fl-disa 'u apparentement ma art punch, furzar referee Jay Nady biex iwaqqaf il-bout wara d-disa malli suġġeriment tat-tabib ringside.

 

Fil-bout ftuħ tal-telecast SHO ESTREM, heavyweight Eric Molina (23-2, 17 Kos) defeated Raphael Zumbano (32-9-1, 25 Kos) via tmien TKO tonda fil affari one-sided.
