Adotivo (14-0, 9 KOs) of West Haven, Conn., overcame a slow start but was the busier fighter, outthrowing De Los Santos 468-421. Lutando em seu U.S. estréia, the power-punching De Los Santos (13-1, 12 KOs) de Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, had an eventful fourth round, suffering a cut above his left eye, which seemed to slow him over the final four rounds. It was the first time the Dominican suffered a cut in his professional career. De Los Santos also had a point taken away in the fourth for holding. Fatigue was also a factor as De Los Santos had never been past the sixth round in his young career and seemed to run out of gas as the fight wore on.

“I was pressuring him the whole time and I knew he was slowing down and eventually I would get to him,” said Foster, who kept moving forward as the fight progressed and dictated and landed the more powerful punches. “I thought it was the right decision because I was landing more shots as the fight went on.”

The 28-year-old Foster – the younger brother of 20-0 professional light heavyweight prospect Charles Foster – was surprised with how fast De Los Santos started. “I knew I had to stay calm, and I adapted and my experience allowed me to adjust to what was happening,” Foster said. “He wasn’t devastating, and the punches never hurt me. I knew he would slow down and when he did, I began to land my shots and had success with my pressure.”

Regarding the point deduction in the fourth, De Los Santos disagreed with the referee’s decision. “I didn’t think the point should have been deducted,” said De Los Santos, who had scored stoppages in his last seven fights. “I thought I should have been warned first.

“I thought it was a close fight, but I thought I did enough to earn the victory. I was landing the harder shots throughout and he never hurt me.”

Added De Los Santos: “He was a little awkward and he came with a little more than we thought he would, but I still thought I won. He was aggressive and maybe I slowed down a little as the fight went on, but I still thought I was landing. This is a setback but I’ll learn from this and come back better.”

International Boxing Hall of Famer Barry Tompkins called the action from ringside alongside former world champion Raul Marquez and renowned combat sports expert Brian Campbell serving as expert analysts. Hall of Famer Steve Farhood was the unofficial scorer. The executive producer was Gordon Hall with Rich Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.

The event was promoted by Sampson Boxing. OShoBox tripleheader will re-air on Monday at 11 p.m. ET / PT no Showtime EXTREME®.

Acompanhado pelo rapper superstar Lil Durk, Davis entrou no ringue em Laker roxo e dourado; borlas ao longo de seus troncos com o número do falecido Kobe Bryant "8" e "24" em cada lado. Cruz celebrou sua herança mexicana com uma banda mariachi atrás dele enquanto caminhava em direção ao ringue.

Não houve nenhum processo de sondagem no primeiro. Cruz atacou o atual campeão, prendendo-o contra as cordas e gemendo.

“Esse é o meu estilo. ‘Pitbull’ sempre estará no ataque,", Disse Cruz. “Acho que mantivemos o ritmo do início ao fim.”

Davis encontrou seu ritmo no segundo e terceiro, circulando o ringue e levando Cruz para os tiros. No quarto, Cruz concentrou seu ataque no corpo, batendo nas costelas de Davis.

O nativo de Baltimore, de 27 anos, ligou a energia no quarto, alternando entre o gancho de direita e cruz de esquerda atrás de sua postura canhoto. Mais golpes de punição vieram de Davis durante o quinto.

“Ele é um lutador mais baixo, então eu estava jogando no topo de sua cabeça,"Disse Davis. "Eu bati nele com meu dedo e baguncei tudo. Eu machuquei minha mão na sexta rodada. Não importa se o oponente é mais alto ou mais baixo, Eu tenho que passar por isso. Ele é um guerreiro. Mesmo que ele não tenha ganhado, uma estrela nasceu esta noite. ”

“Foi por volta da quinta rodada que vi que sua mão não estava funcionando corretamente,”Cruz observou.

Davis encaixotou lindamente nas rodadas intermediárias, disparando tiros rápidos e girando para longe do fogo de retorno. Um gancho de direita na oitava atingiu Cruz brevemente e trouxe o público a seus pés. Mas apenas quando parecia que a luta estava escapando, Cruz combateu fogo com fogo, pousando um uppercut flush segundos antes do sino.

O mexicano de 23 anos acelerou o ritmo nas últimas rodadas, mantendo Davis na ponta dos pés e batendo forte. Davis se segurou, lutando de forma equilibrada até o fim da luta.

Naturalmente, Cruz acreditava que merecia a vitória.

"Viva México. não tenho nada a dizer, os fãs estão falando sobre quem ganhou essa luta,"Ele disse.

Após uma defesa de título bem-sucedida, Davis disse que está pronto para todos os visitantes.

“L.A., nós fizemos isso por Kobe,"Disse Davis. “No começo da luta, ele veio forte. Eu senti como a luta estava indo, ele estava quebrando. Mas eu machuquei minha mão, então eu não fui capaz de tirá-lo de lá.

“Qualquer que seja a melhor oportunidade para mim, Eu vou fazer isso. Todos eles são trabalhos fáceis. Eu sou o chefe. ”

No co-main event, Sebastian “Towering Inferno” Fundora chegou mais perto de uma chance pelo título mundial com uma decisão unânime de 12 rodadas sobre o invicto Sergio Garcia em um eliminador de título WBC Super Welterweight.

Pontuações finais lidas 118-110, 117-111 e 115-113.

Fundora estabeleceu o controle rapidamente no primeiro, jogando a cabeça de Garcia da Espanha para trás com uma esquerda forte. Os dois negociaram uniformemente nas primeiras rodadas. Garcia teve seus momentos, incluindo um golpe direto à direita na quinta que tirou sangue do nariz de Fundora.

Fundora, de 23 anos, encontrou seu alcance no sexto, bombeando o jab e usando seu quadro de 1,8 m e alcance de 80 polegadas para manter Garcia longe.

“Eu estava usando muito mais minha distância. Eu queria mostrar algo diferente do que estou acostumado,”Disse Fundora. “A altura foi definitivamente uma diferença nesta luta.”

Garcia lutou para pousar durante a segunda metade da luta, salve por alguns momentos no 12th quando os dois combatentes ficaram frente a frente.

“Talvez as coisas pudessem ter sido diferentes se eu tivesse sido mais agressivo desde o início,”Disse Garcia. “Eu não deveria ter me deixado levar pelo que ele estava fazendo.”

Fundora acredita que está pronto para uma chance pelo título mundial.

“Acabamos de vencer o Não. 2 no WBC, então nós temos o nº 1, e nós temos o campeão,”Disse Fundora. “Quem quer que eles nos dêem a seguir, estamos prontos para. ”

Em um empolgante vaivém, Carlos Adames (21-1, 16 KOs) superou um duro desafio do ex-desafiante ao título mundial Sergiy Derevyanchenko (13-4, 10 KOs) para ganhar uma decisão por maioria de 10 rodadas em seu eliminador do título mundial WBC Middleweight.

Ambos os combatentes tiveram seus momentos, mas enfrentando o adversário mais difícil de sua carreira, o Adames de 27 anos brilhou. Um juiz marcou a luta dos médios mesmo em 95-95, enquanto os outros dois marcaram para Adames por dezenas de 96-94 e 97-93.

“Isso significa muito para mim na minha carreira e é uma grande conquista vencer um lutador do calibre dele,”Disse Adames, que nasceu na República Dominicana e luta em Washington Heights, na cidade de Nova York.

“Eu sou agressivo e rápido por natureza, então eu vim pronto para fazer minhas coisas. Ele começou lento, querendo ver o que aconteceria, e simplesmente tinha o plano de jogo errado. Ele ficou um pouco cansado enquanto a luta continuava, levou muitos tiros fortes de mim e era evidente que eu causei muitos danos. ”

“Espero que meu adversário lute no mesmo estilo. Não foi nada especial para mim, apenas uma luta de qualidade,"Disse Derevyanchenko.

“Ele ficou canhoto, essa foi a diferença na luta. Eu não sei o que vou fazer a seguir. Preciso descansar um pouco e depois vou voltar para a academia porque adoro boxe e adoro o show ”.

“Isso me dá a oportunidade de seguir em frente,”Disse Adames. “Eu domino em ambos 154 e 160, então, onde quer que eles me dêem a oportunidade de lutar por um campeonato, é onde eu irei. ”

Na luta de abertura da transmissão da SHOWTIME PPV, contendor superpluma Eduardo “Zurdito” Ramirez (26-2-3, 12 KOs) estava em sua melhor forma, vencendo uma decisão unânime de 10 rodadas sobre o ex-desafiante ao título mundial Miguel Marriaga.

“Gostaria de agradecer aos fãs, SHOWTIME e a família Montiel por me apoiarem. Marriaga foi um adversário difícil, mas consegui dominar,”Disse Ramirez. “Eu tinha um estilo de luta variado e o mantive alerta o tempo todo.”

Marriaga (30-5, 26 KOs) foi o agressor durante todo, particularmente na primeira rodada, quando ele apoiou Ramirez com uma combinação de socos. Este último encontrou seu alcance no meio do quadro, utilizando um jab preciso. No terceiro, um gancho de direita seguido por um overhand esquerdo com chão desequilibrado Marriaga para um knockdown flash.
“Começamos fortes, mas então as coisas ficaram cada vez mais difíceis. Tendo dito isto, estamos satisfeitos com o trabalho que realizamos hoje,”Disse Marriaga. “Deveríamos ter sido mais experientes, mas tentamos ao máximo diante de uma grande oportunidade da qual infelizmente não pudemos aproveitar. ”

Ramirez dominou após marcar o knockdown, punindo Marriaga a partir de então com uma variedade de tiros na cabeça e no corpo. Estatísticas de socos finais fizeram Ramirez pousar 280 de 762 (36.7%) socos totais para Marriaga 159 de 689 (21.3%).

“Agora vou relaxar com minha família e aproveitar as férias,”Disse Ramirez. “Então, esperançosamente 2022 virá com uma chance pelo título para mim.”
