ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (April 30, 2016) – Olimpiese brons medalje Andre Dirrell (25-2, 16 Uitklophoue) defeated Australia’s Blake Caparello (22-2-1, 6 Uitklophoue) deur 'n eenparige besluit (98-91 X 3) in a 10-round super middleweight attraction in the Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) op Spike main event from the Taj Mahal Casino and Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
In a bout that started off with a lot of back and forth action, Caparello struck first with a left in the second round that sent Dirrell to the canvas.
The knockdown I got in the second round felt good,” Said Caparello. “I knew I had him hurt, but I wasn’t able to capitalize on it.
Caparello again got Dirrell against the ropes and seemingly into a bit of trouble with a similar left in round three, but eventually Dirrell settled in and managed to gain control of the fight.
Dirrell said, “My focus, determination and my drive got me the win vanaand. I know I’ve got more work to do, but I never stopped grinding in there vanaand.”
Caparello continued to go to work and battle, but it was clear who the ring general was from the close of the third round and until the final bell rang.
Dirrell exclaimed, “I wanted to send the boxing world and this whole division a message. I’m coming for anyone with a belt. I’ll take on anyone who’s a champion. I know I’ll be a world champion. I have to be a champion. I don’t slow down for anyone. I’m going to keep pushing to get where I’m going.
On his struggles in the later rounds, Caparello said, “I continued to look for the same left hand all night, it just didn’t come again. Andre has a lot of tricks, he is both good and fast. I am not happy with my performance.
Dirrell concluded, “Vanaand my brother and I were both able to display our talents in front of a national audience on Spike. Anthony is strong as an ox and got the win quickly vanaand. I got the win on determination and heart. I had to use my toughness in this fight, and I pushed myself as hard as I could to get the win.
In the second televised bout of the evening, voormalige wêreldkampioen Anthony “Die Hond” Dirrell (29-1-1, 23 Uitklophoue) met former world title challenger Kaleb “Golden” Truax (26-3-2, 16 Uitklophoue) in a 10-round super middleweight affair.
The former 168-pound titleholder Dirrell got off to a quick start, scoring two knockdowns in the first round, causing referee Harvey Dock to stop the fight at just 1:49 in die eerste ronde.
Dirrell said of the dominating performance, “What helped me vanaand was landing my shots early. I was right on top of him with combinations and controlling my jab and that set the tone. Ek het vanaand that I work hard in the gym, and it paid off. If I work like I did this time leading up to the fight, then I know nobody can beat me.
A stunned Truax said, “Everything was great leading up to the fight. I don’t know what happened vanaand. He just caught me early. I think it was an overhand right.
Reflecting on what the victory means for his struggling hometown of Flint, MY, Dirrell said, “My work vanaand inside the ring made a big statement for what my brother and I are doing outside of the ring. A lot of people were watching vanaand, and now they know a little bit more about what’s going on with the Flint Water Crisis back home.
The opening televised bout featured undefeated knockout artist Jonathan Guzman (21-0, 21 Uitklophoue) continuing his hot streak in a 12-round super bantamweight title eliminator against Mexico’s Daniel Rosas (20-3, 12 Uitklophoue).
Guzman, an unbeaten fighter out of the Dominican Republic and now training in Massachusetts, stabilized early and easily controlled the action in the second half of the fight.
Guzman said, “I used a lot of concentration early and let him make errors so I could see what he was planning to do. Once I saw the mistakes he was making I let my hands go.
Rosas was stunned in the third round, but Guzman was unable to close on the wobbled fighter. In die vyfde ronde, Guzman landed a left that knocked Rosas back and followed it with another, dropping Rosas just before the bell.
I wanted to let him throw some punches early. It helped me gain confidence and learn his tendencies,” said Guzman. “I saw him dropping that right hand, and I knew it would open up the opportunity for me to land my left.
Rounds six and seven saw Rosas take a pummeling, but miraculously stay on his feet. At the end of the eighth frame, Guzman dropped Rosas for a second time, and again Rosas was saved by the bell.
Egter, referee Benjy Esteves had seen enough and stopped the fight following the close of round eight.
When asked about the stoppage, Rosas said, “The ref stopped the fight. I thought the fight should have continued, but he decided to stop it.Rosas continued, “(Guzman) knocked me down, but I kept on fighting. Ek was nog nooit seermaak. Guzman is a strong fighter, but I felt I could have continued and come back in the rest of the rounds.

Hier is wat die vegters te sê gehad het Woensdag:

ANDRE DIRRELL

I can tell that Caparello is coming from Australia to prove a point. He’s hungry for a victory and It’s my job to make sure he doesn’t get that. I take this as a championship fight.

The blessing in having a layoff is that my body is in great shape. I feel 25-years-old not 32.

I don’t see myself as the smaller man. I suppose he can take a few shots but I am going to display my skill and show that it will lead to a world championship.

I feel I am at the championship level. I’ll have an eye on the 168-pound title fightsSaterdag. I’m looking to get that championship as soon as I can. I am ready and I want DeGale. I don’t care if it’s in his hometown, backyard, basement, living room or kitchen. I want to make sure that fight happens.

I worked really hard and I can’t wait to get in the ring Vrydag nag.”

BLAKE CAPARELLO

It’s good to be back in Atlantic City. I took a lot from my fight against Sergey Kovalev. Being in the ring with him taught me a lot about ring composure. This is my Atlantic City redemption.

Dirrell is a very difference fighter. Andre is very quick and slick. I can’t afford to make minor mistakes. I didn’t make the 20-hour flight for a loss. I was small for 175 pounds which made the move to 168 very comfortable.

The plan is to win and fight one of the champions but fighting Andre is a world title for me.

People don’t think that I can punch, but I’m coming to win and put on a show. I’m looking to bring a victory back to Australia.

ANTHONY DIRRELL

It means a lot to share this card with my brother. We share everything. He is my big brother and this is a great moment for both of us.

I will be watching the super middleweight title fights Saterdag nag, but I am not looking past Caleb Truax.

I know Truax has fought some good competition in Daniel Jacobs and Jermain Taylor. I have my hands full but I prepared to have my hand lifted in Victory.

I think the loss made me a better fighter because I know what it takes to get there. I am just looking for the next shot. When I get it, I’m going to capitalize and not let the title go.

I’m going to stick to my game plan and try to get Truax out of there. Then I can start thinking about Badou Jack. I definitely want a rematch.

CALEB TRUAX

I have to make the most of this opportunity. Dit is 'n groot stryd vir my. I can get another shot at a world title with a win.

Dirrell is a good fighter. I’ve seen a lot of his fights and we’ve fought on the same card before. You have to respect that he is a former world champion.

I have to draw from all the experiences I’ve had in my career. I have to use my experience and be on top of my game.

Most of my fights have been around super middleweight. I don’t have to struggle to make weight as much and I couldn’t turn down this opportunity.

JONATHAN GUZMAN

Rosas is a typical Mexican fighter who will come forward and be in great condition. I’m ready for him and I feel I know him well.

I want a world title and we’re happy that if we get this win we can compete for a belt next time out.

We are excited to put on a great show Vrydag nag. I will break him in half.

DANIEL ROSAS

We know our opponent is very good, but we trained 100 percent to get the victory.

We’ve been waiting and putting in the work. As die uitklophou kom, dit kom.

I know this is an elimination bout. We came to win and we’re prepared for anything that comes. I’m ready to be a world champion.
