WORCESTER, Missa. (Juliol 31, 2018) – Una dotzena d'anys després de conquerir el seu tercer títol mundial en dues categories de pes diferents, set des de la seva última lluita, “El Gall” Jose Rivera torna al ring l'agost 17 al titular “Retorn”, presentat per Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) En associació amb Rivera Promocions Entertainment (RPE), al Palladium a Worcester, Massachusetts.

 

 

 

El jove de 45 anys Rivera (41-6-1, 24 KOs) ja n'ha perdut més 30 lliura, ara a quatre lliures del seu pes contret, des que va començar a entrenar a principis d'any. Encapçalarà en contra Ruben “Modern Day Warrior” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 KOs) en l'esdeveniment principal de vuit rondes.

 

 

 

En 1997, Rivera va capturar l'Organització Internacional de Boxa (IBO) Títol mundial pes welter, parada Gilberto Flores en la segona ronda. Sis anys després, va viatjar a Alemanya per enfrontar-se invicte, favorit local Michel Trabant (38-0) per a l'Associació Mundial de Boxa vacant (AMB) Campionat del món de pes welter, en què Rivera va guanyar una decisió de 12 rondes i el cinturó.

 

 

 

Davant de gairebé 10,000 aficionats de la ciutat natal a Worcester, Rivera va culminar la seva carrera de boxa guanyant una decisió unànime de 12 rondes 2006 sobre el vigent campió Alejandro Garcia(25-1) pel títol mundial de pes superwelter de l'AMB.

 

 

 

“La idea de tornar al ring va començar amb el meu fill. A. J., i jo parlo de perseguir la història,” Rivera ha explicat. “No som capaços de posar-ho junts ara mateix (A. J. va néixer amb espina bífida i no va poder obtenir l'autorització mèdica a temps per a l'agost. 17º espectacle.), però a causa del meu treball dur aquests darrers sis mesos, Vaig sentir que era adequat continuar amb la meva lluita.

 

 

 

“Granite Chin Promotions ha estat molt important per assegurar-se que aquest espectacle es munta de la manera més professional possible. No crec que la nostra empresa de promoció (Jos i A.J. posseeix i gestiona RPE Promotions Entertainment) hauria estat capaç d'aconseguir això. Calia fer totes les negociacions i entrenar-me de l'única manera que sé, a nivell de campionat, hauria estat massa manejar-ho.”

 

 

 

Promocions de Granit Chin’ co-promotor Chuck Shearns addicional, “Quan en Jose i jo vam començar a parlar del retorn del seu anell, Vaig ser l'última persona a pensar que estava boig. Vam ser amics durant els seus dies de campionat i sé com d'increïblement compromès i disciplinat és en Jose. Vaig lluitar en 49 anys, per no comparar-me amb el nivell en què ha estat Jose, però sé que es pot fer. El que tothom hauria de saber és com de bé s'ha cuidat Jose durant els trenta i els quaranta. Alguna vegada ho vaig pensar? Chris (Traietti, Copromotor de GCP) i jo estaria co-promocionant el retorn de Jose? No, però estic content d'haver-hi implicat i li donaré suport en la mesura que vulgui. Ha estat entrenant com ell 25 i en Jose sorprendrà algunes persones.”

 

 

 

Durant el regna del títol de Rivera, a diferència d'altres campions del món, també va ocupar una feina a temps complet com a oficial judicial al Tribunal de Primera Instància de Massachusetts, un càrrec a Worcester que encara ocupa 17 anys més tard. Entre treballar i entrenar, no importa les seves responsabilitats familiars, En Jose d'alguna manera aconsegueix equilibrar-ho tot en la seva vida extremadament ocupada.

 

 

 

“Diguem que és una agenda ocupada,” va remarcar Rivera. “Estic compromès a cuidar la meva família i faré el que sigui necessari. Normalment corro abans de la feina i entreno després de la feina. Començar d'hora i acabar tard fa que els dies siguin ocupats, però la feina s'ha de fer. Ara, Estic enmig del període més dur d'entrenament. La setmana de la lluita és més de preparar-se mentalment i fer pes. No hi ha res que puguis fer la setmana de la lluita per ajudar-te a estar en millor forma.”

 

 

 

Rivera no es fa cap il·lusió que la seva remuntada porti a un altre gran títol mundial. El pla és que tingui dues baralles més per arribar a un total 50 com a professional, però està prenent les coses una lluita a la vegada, i encara espera la seva propera lluita, provisionalment previst per a finals d'aquest any, estarà a la mateixa carta que el debut professional del seu fill.

 

 

 

Rivera va lluitar per última vegada 2011, Prenent una decisió de vuit rondes Paul Mpendo, a Mohegan Sun Arena a Connecticut. El Galvan provat a la batalla, el seu agost. 17º rival d'Indiana, ha lluitat contra altres campions del món, Incloent Zab Judah, Juli Cèsar Chavez, Jr., Jorge Paez i Paul Spadafora.

 

 

 

“Sento que ve a barallar-se i que li agrada fer la broma una mica per intentar ficar-se al cap del seu oponent.,” Rivera va afegir. M'he concentrat en mi, el meu temps i centrar-me en el pla de joc

 

 

 

“L'entrenament per a aquesta lluita ha estat més mental que qualsevol altra cosa. He pogut assolir el màxim rendiment a 45 entrenant com ho vaig fer en el meu millor moment. El més important és això, treballant amb el meu entrenador Sean Fitzgerald, M'he centrat a assegurar-me que el meu temps millori des que fa set anys que vaig lluitar per última vegada.

 

 

 

“I, per descomptat, sempre és una gran sensació boxejar davant dels seguidors de la meva ciutat natal. El seu suport sempre és apreciat.”

 

 

 

El nom de l’esdeveniment és “Retorn” perquè sis lluitadors en acció són de Worcester, inclosos tres que no havien lluitat mai abans com a professionals.

 

 

 

De pes mitjà Kendrick Ball, Jr. (9-1-2, 6 KOs) i Junior Middleweight Khiary gris (15-4, 11 KOs), tots dos promocionats per CES Boxing, lluitarà a casa a Worcester com a professionals per primera vegada en un parell de combats de sis rondes.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Monday from the Dream Hotel Downtown in Manhattan:

 

DANNY GARCIA

 

 

 

“I’m excited for this fight because I’m a world championship-level fighter and this gives me the chance to be back where I’ve been for so long. It doesn’t matter who it is, I’m just happy to be back and fighting for the title.

 

 

 

 

“The loss against Keith Thurman hurt me for a little bit. I thought I finished the fight strong and won. At the end of the day though, I feel motivated again. I feel more motivated now than I did before the fight. There’s something different inside of me.

 

 

 

 

“No hi ha pressió sobre mi, I’m just going to come to fight. We can dance if he wants, but I guarantee I’m coming to bang with him in the middle of the ring. I feel I’m the stronger puncher, have the faster hands and am the better all-around fighter.

 

 

 

 

“I’m so used to hearing my dad’s voice during a fight. Me and my dad are different than other people. We do a lot together outside of the ring. We’re friends first because of where we came from. We’re enjoying every moment and we’re hungry for me.

 

 

 

“Al final de la dia, my mindset is fully focused on September 8. I have to go grab this title and then you can ask me to fight anyone. I’ve never turned down an opponent in my career. I’m a fighter and this is what I do.

 

 

 

 

“This wasn’t the first time someone has called me out and it won’t be the last. Vinga setembre 8, I will show the world once again why I am one of the best.

 

 

 

 

“Al final de la dia, I have to go in there and make adjustments and do what I do best. I’ll set the tempo and the pace and take it one round at a time.

 

 

 

 

“The fans at Barclays Center love me. This is the ‘Danny Garcia Show.’ Whenever I fight here, all I hear is ‘DSG! DSG!.’ They are going to be there for me.”

 

SHAWN PORTER

 

 

 

“I think for a long time, watching Danny do what he does and hearing him say what he’d do to me, I got stirred up to the point where I really wanted this fight. I made that known after his fight against Brandon Rios and I think that’s why we’re here right now.

 

 

 

“This is a great opportunity to get the fight I wanted for my career. I’m thriving right now and you’ll see it all on fight night.

 

 

 

“I’m a very difficult fighter to prepare for. You never know what you’ll get with me. I’m used to being the underdog and I thrive on it. I’m the more intelligent fighter at the end of the day.

 

 

 

“Me and my dad are a little different than Angel and Danny. Boxing is our way of life and this is what he’s grown me into. Fight night is like Christmas or another birthday. That’s when we come together the most and make the best of every opportunity.

 

 

 

“Brooklyn doesn’t like me because of what I wear or what I say, they like me because I come to fight and I entertain. That’s all because of my dad and the tools he’s given me to be the very best that I could be.

 

 

 

“All of my abilities – energia, rapidesa, the whole nine will help me get this victory. To beat Danny Garcia, you have to use your whole arsenal. Especially beating him in the fashion we want to beat him in. We want to look great.

 

 

 

“We have seen Danny in the ring with different fighters with different styles. You can be aggressive and beat him, you can use the ring and outbox him, we are going to use them all.

 

 

 

“Al final de la dia, I learned a lesson in my last fight. My dad told me not to do anything for the crowd. You have to do what you have to do to win. Setembre 8 isn’t going to be about making the crowd yell and winning them over. That is already done. It is a matter of going in there with whatever game plan we go with and making it happen.

 

 

 

“The belt is all I want. Winning a title is always special, but beating Danny Garcia for it will be icing on the cake. He’s been a top fighter for a long time and this win will help solidify me. Once I have the belt, the sky’s the limit.”

 

ÀNGEL GARCÍA, Pare de Danny & Entrenador

 

 

 

“I don’t see anything special in Shawn Porter. He comes with his head, he comes wild. We’re going to take care of him and we’re going to work on him. He’s not bringing anything to the table that I haven’t seen before. It’s Danny’s time.

 

 

 

“At the end of the day we got a fight. Words are just words. I’d give my life for Danny. I’d take a bullet for him, I love him.

 

 

 

“Escolta, when Danny hits him on the right side he’s going to feel it on the left. My son’s power is like nothing he’s ever seen before.

 

 

 

“Escolta, at the end of the night September 8º, Danny will be champion again. That belt is coming home with us and back to Philadelphia.”

 

KENNY PORTER, El pare de Shawn & Entrenador

 

 

 

“We really enjoy fighting at Barclays Center. The energy there is different than any other location. It is a comfortable location for us and it is going to be an exciting night.

 

 

 

“Training has been different in a lot of ways, but a very good different. We are doing a lot of things that we have never done before and we are excited about that. To do different things that create excitement and make you look forward to coming to train is always good.

 

 

 

“They will not be prepared for us on fight night. We will start to focus on some of the things that we will do for Danny and in that aspect, there are some things we will have to prepare for differently.

 

 

 

“The biggest thing is to make sure is that Shawn is ready. We’re going to have a solid game plan that Shawn will know how to implement. We’re going to make Danny adjust to us.”

 

Lou DiBella, El president de DiBella Entertainment

 

 

 

“These are two guys who have really made a name for themselves fighting in Brooklyn. They’ve been a part of the best fights in Brooklyn. They are two of the best fighters and most exciting fighters in the sport. This is as good as it gets style-wise, període. These guys get that this is entertainment. These are two guys that entertain.

 

 

 

“Shawn has come out on the short end a couple of times, and clearly those fights could have been scored differently. They were sensational fights as all of his bouts tend to be.

 

 

 

“Danny Garcia doesn’t get enough respect, he gets out there and wins. He’s a great fighter who does everything well, which makes him extremely dangerous.

 

 

 

“These guys have earned this opportunity and the winner deserves the belt. The winner will get one of the biggest fights in the sport after this. Both guys are professionals who know the stakes on September 8.

 

 

 

“This is going to be an electric fight. The fans will be on the edge of their seats this whole night and you’re not going to want to miss it.

 

 

 

“These are two guys who know how to fight and will entertain you. Make sure you get your tickets early.”

 

BRETT Yormark, CEO de BSE Global

 

 

 

“As Lou said September 8th should be terrific. I am personally looking forward to it. It adds to our resume of BROOKLYN BOXING. It comes almost right at our 6th anniversary of Barclays Center.

 

 

 

“Both fighters are veterans in our ring. This is Danny’s seventh fight in Brooklyn and Shaw’s fifth and they have built fan bases here. Our presale in the first few days have been terrific.

 

 

 

“Danny opened the building for BROOKLYN BOXING almost six years ago and we thank you for that and we thank you for continuing to come back.

 

 

 

“Shawn’s last three fights have been in Brooklyn. I think you and your dad have been sitting ringside for every fight in Brooklyn and we are thrilled to have you back.

 

 

 

“We are thankful to be hosting the boxing industry time and time again and we are as committed as ever to bring the best of the best to Brooklyn and doing it consistently throughout the year. I look forward to seeing everyone on the 8th. It should be a spectacular night.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Esports & Programació d'esdeveniments, Showtime Networks Inc.

 

 

 

“García vs. Porter will be the 12th SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING event of the year. That is just through September. Adding our other live boxing events, we have done 24 live boxing presentations this year. It is not just quantity; it is high quality.

 

 

 

“Eight times on SHOWTIME this year alone, there have been top five fighters fighting each other. Here we have two of the strongest resumes not just in the welterweight division, but in the sport overall.

 

 

 

“Danny Garcia has 12 fights against current or former world champions. There is no question that Danny Garcia has one of the strongest resumes in the sport. I don’t think he gets credit for it and it is time that he does. Of Shawn’s last 11 baralles, eight have been against former world champions. He always wants to fight in the very best fights.

 

 

 

“Between the two of them, they have fought on SHOWTIME and/or CBS combined 20 vegades. The best fighters, the biggest most meaningful fights. That’s what we have been doing, and with fighters like Danny and Shawn, we are going to continue to do it.”

Former Heavyweight Contender David ‘Nino’ Rodriguez Debuts as Television Commentator

Leave a comment

Former heavyweight contender and noted author David “Nino” Rodriguez says he enjoyed his debut as a broadcaster on Friday night at Laredo Energy Arena in Laredo, Texas.

 

 

 

Rodriguez was honored to serve alongside play-by-play man Jim Grieshaber as color commentator for USA beIN Sports’ showing of Summer Brawl 2018, featuring Laredo-based lightweight journeyman Victor Rosas’ (10-8, 4 KOs) upset fourth-round stoppage victory over Las Vegas contender Randy Moreno (12-2, 10 KOs) and hometown KO artist Jorge Castaneda’s (10-1, 10 KOs) sixth-round stoppage of Carlos Villareal (9-3, 8 KOs) of Las Vegas.

 

 

 

The event was presented by Ivaylo Gotzev of Epic Sports and Entertainment, Keith Veltre of Roy Jones Jr Boxing Promotions and Triple A Promotions.

 

 

 

“It was exhilarating to be back around the bright lights and fight atmosphere once again,” said an excited Rodriguez. “Nothing will be as stimulating as getting inside the ring, but commentating a live television production was nothing short of the next best thing. I loved breaking down the fighters and introducing my knowledge to a live audience.”

 

 

 

Rodriguez says he wishes to thank the event promoters who took a chance on his abilities outside the ring and says the entire show turned out perfectly.

 

 

 

“beIN Sports did not let the fight fans down. We had an action-packed night of slugfests in Laredo and every single fighter fought their hearts out! It was a very inspirational night of action, sitting along side Jim Grieshaber, who was kind enough to coach me through the entire process.”

 

 

 

Currently in the process of opening El Paso’s first Weight loss Clinic and Spa (with partner Arturo Ortiz), Rodríguez, who went 37-2, 35 KOs and once held the WBA-NABA and NABU Heavyweight Championships as a fighter, says he’d love to return as commentator in the future.

 

 

 

“Even though I’m no longer a fighter, I still love the beautiful sport of boxing.”

 

Rodriguez is the author of his autobiography, When the Lights Go Out, available through amazon.com and priced at $17.95 (paperback) i $7.95 (Kindle).

Perfil de l'Associació d'Antics Alumnes de Boxa dels EUA: JASON “Sis Grans” ESTRADA

Leave a comment

COLORADO SPRINGS, Volta. (Juliol 30, 2018) – 2004 U.S. Olímpic Jason “Sis Grans” Carretera fully believes that boxing saved his life, preventing him from running the streets of Providence, Rhode Island, and molding him into the man he is today.

 

 

 

“I didn’t have any money growing up and could have easily gone the other way in the streets,” Estrada explained. “A lot of my friends from back then were selling drugs are many are either dead or in jail. I knew them all, they knew me. Instead of becoming a drug dealer, I beat them up and took their money. I could have easily ended up seller drugs on a bigger scale, shot them, or gotten shot by them. I was broke, but boxing saved me!”

 

 

 

Estrada’s first amateur match was in 1987, when he was only seven years old, and he developed into one of the most dominant amateur boxers in the world between 2001-2003, in which he was a “three-peat” champion at the USA National Championships, PAL National Championships and U.S. Desafiament. “Sis Grans” also remains the only American boxer to capture a gold medal in the super heavyweight division of the Pan-American Games (2003), in addition to representing the U.S. al 2004 Jocs Olímpics d'Atenes, Grècia.

 

 

 

After qualifying for the 2004 U.S. Equip olímpic de boxa, much of the pre-Olympic Games boxing interest surrounded an expected showdown between the top two super heavyweights in the world, Estrada and Russia’s Alexander Povetin. Desafortunadament, Estrada was hampered by a severe case of planta faucitis, which left Jason in an air cast and unable to train other than swimming throughout the entire pre-Olympics camp. Estrada won in the opening round, but he was eliminated in the second by Cuban Michel Lopes, who Estrada had fairly easily defeated in the championship final of the 2003 Jocs Panamericans. Povetkin went on to capture the gold medal.

 

 

 

“I would have loved to fight him” Estrada said. “I was super sharp, mentalment, but physically I couldn’t bounce and move. I just had to deal with it. I found out that it was amazing how quickly people forget in boxing.”

 

 

 

Not only does Estrada credit his father, optometrist Dr. Roland Estrada, for helping to keep him on the straight and narrow, he also taught him to box. “My father didn’t have any boxing experience when we started,” Jason noted. “We went from gym to gym, sparring guys, and picking up things from other coaches. I appreciated my father so much because he always knew that his style wasn’t the only style. We experienced different styles and met some great coaches. Two of my favorite coaches are Barry Hunter (Washington DC.) i Mike Stafford (Cincinnati). I’m cool with fighters I met in the amateurs like Andre Dirrell. The guy I’m closest with is George Garcia, who I fought and beat nine times. He’s one of my coolest friends, encara que. His son is a good prospect coming up, but he’s the opposite of his father, who was short and stocky. His son is a tall, lanky boxer.”

Estrada fought professionally for more than a decade, compilar una 20-6 (6 KOs) registre, as an unusually quick-handed, slick-moving heavyweight. Avui, Estrada and his father own and operate Big Six Academy in Providence, coaching amateur and pro boxers.

 

 

 

“Boxing is like a marriage,” commented Estrada, who retired from the ring 3 Fa uns anys. “M'encanta, but we’re not together anymore. We’re still good friends. I still love boxing as a friend. I get my boxing fix by coaching, it’s still a part of my life. I spar with some of the fighters. I can do what I want for four rounds. There’s no challenge, no pressure. I could still fight, if not for the rigorous training. Physical problems I had when I fought – esquena, knee and feet – no longer hurt.

 

 

 

“My dad understands the knowledge I have – he never fought – and a lot of times in the gym we’ll say to each other, ‘I was just thinking that.’ He has no experience (fighting in the ring) i ara, he lets me handle all the pads work. He’s putting more and more on me, work wise, but he closely watches us and takes care of the business end.

 

 

 

“I really enjoy helping our fighters prepare for media interviews. I’m thankful to USA Boxing for that, because we were trained to be in the right state of mind for interviews.”

 

 

 

Estrada had an opportunity to travel the world as a member of USA Boxing’s elite teams, boxing in Cuba, Dominican Republic Kazakhstan, Irlanda (3 vegades), Germany and Brazil.

 

 

 

Now giving back to young boxers what he learned in USA Boxing ranks, the 37-year-old Estrada has one boxing goal left on his wish list.

 

 

 

“I’d love to work with somebody who becomes world champion and makes money to support their family,” Estrada concluded, “but more than anything, I’d love to work with a boxer who becomes a U.S. Olympian because I was a U.S. Olympian.”

 

 

 

And nobody can ever take that away from Jason “Sis Grans” Carretera, one of America’s most decorated amateur boxers of all-time, and a proud USA Boxing Alumni Association member.

Confident Lenin Castillo About Taking on Marcus Browne and His Undefeated Record

Leave a comment
photo by Esdel Palermo

 

After winning the WBO NABO Light Heavyweight title in the month of April, former Olympian Lenin Castillo, de la República Dominicana, will travel to New York, for the fight that will place him at the door of a world title fight.

 

 

 

Aquest dissabte, Agost 4, WBO ranked 14º Castell (18-1-1, 13 KOs) s'enfrontaran 2ndranked Marcus Browne (21-0, 16 KOs), de Nova York, in a 10-round scheduled bout from NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

 

 

 

Castillo-Browne is a special edition bout of PBC that will air live on FS2 & Fox deportes a 5:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

“I’ve been following Browne’s career for some time. Facing him was something I was waiting for, and now it’s better because he is number two in the WBO. We were both Olympians, so I know that we will give a great fight to keep the fans talking about our division”, va dir Castell, who is stationed in Puerto Rico, under the supervision of veteran trainer Freddy Trinidad, and Yoel ‘Yowy’ González at the Caimito Municipal Gym, located in the capital city of San Juan.

 

 

 

“I feel satisfied with the training in Caimito, I’ve learned from the knowledge of Trinidad and Yowy. On the track, the person in charge is Mr. Bonet, who has worked with great boxers. I hope that all my work will pay off in the fight, and that my performance is to everyone’s liking. This victory is for the Dominican Republic, where we continue to grow in the boxing world”.

 

 

 

Castillo’s manager, Raul Pastrana of Spartan Boxing Club, dit: “This fight will define Lenin’s course in the grand stages of boxing. A world title fight is upcoming with a great performance against Browne. We understand that Browne has not faced a quality fighter such as Lenin. Lenin will show that he has the tools and the desire to reach the top. Addicionalment, he is willing to face any opponent, at any place”.

LOS ANGELES (Juliol 28, 2018) – Mikey Garcia became the 10º lightweight champion to unify the division with a unanimous decision against Robert Easter Jr. Saturday on SHOWTIME, and immediately afterward set his sights on boxing’s best, namely Errol Spence Jr.

Full fight highlights here: https://s.sho.com/2LzlnJ6

 

 

 

 

All three judges scored the fight in favor of Garcia,118-109, 117-110, 116-111, in an electrifying fight in front of 12,560 fans at Staples Center in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

 

The four-division world champion Garcia (39-0, 30 KOs) – who was fighting in his native Southern California for the first time in seven years – keeps his 135-pound WBC title, and also claims Easter’s IBF Lightweight belt

 

 

 

 

“I’m here for the biggest challenges,", va dir Garcia, 30, who unified a title for the first time in his career. “I don’t know if there is anyone that is a bigger challenge than Errol Spence. I know he’s up to fight everyone so let’s make it happen. I think it can be made. I think that’s the next big fight coming up.

 

 

 

 

“I feel I have the power and the skillset to compete in any division up to welterweight. He’s the toughest guy at welterweight so I want to face him.”

 

 

 

 

Garcia scored a knock down in the third round against Easter (21-1, 14 KOs) de Toledo, Ohio, who was sent to the canvas for just the second time in his career. A strong right jab put Easter out of position, immediately followed by a devastating left hook sent Easter down with 24 seconds remaining in the round.

 

 

 

 

Garcia got better as the fight progressed. In the final four rounds Garcia out-landed Easter 95-34 in total punches and ended the fight being the more active fighter throwing 555 punches to Easter’s 507. He connected on nearly 40 percent of his power shots while Easter landed at a 24 CLIP per cent.

 

 

 

 

“It’s a great accomplishment being here in L.A.,” Garcia said. “I was in control most of the fight, and I did what I had to do. I knew he was a tough opponent. He’s a tough warrior. He gave a great fight but I was a better fighter. I was in control of the fight and I did what I had to do to win.”

 

 

 

 

Pasqua, who went into the Garcia locker room after the fight to congratulate his opponent, was gracious in defeat.

 

 

 

 

“Whenever we step in the ring we are both putting our lives on the line and tonight Mikey was victorious,” said Easter, who entered the fight as the longest reigning champion at 135 lliura. “I just couldn’t find the timing and I just couldn’t let my right hand go. He caught me with a clean shot and I went down, but I got up like a true champion.”

 

 

 

 

 

During an interview at the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING host desk, Spence, a fellow top-five pound-for-pound great, said he would “definitely” welcome a fight with Garcia. “I feel like that’s the best fight available for me right now with Shawn [Desgast] and Danny [García] fighting in September. Keith Thurman is still recovering and needs a tune up.

Full interview here: https://s.sho.com/2veXH1T.

 

 

 

 

“He’s daring to be great, he wants to be great, he wants to move up and dethrone me and it’s not going to happen. It’s definitely going to be an easy fight. [García] will be pound-for-pound No. 1 if he beats me. He has great skills but I see myself winning. I don’t really see anything that concerns me. He’s technically good, but I don’t see him hurting me at 147.”

 

 

 

 

Heavyweight southpaw Luis Ortiz (29-1, 25 KOs) returned to the ring with a resounding victory, scoring a devastating second round knockout (2:08) of former world title challenger Razvan Cojanu (16-4, 9 KOs)

 

 

 

 

Ortiz landed 42 per cent dels seus tirs de l'energia (eight of 19) while Cojanu landed just two of 13 (15%) in the short fight.

 

 

 

 

Ortiz was emotional after the fight. He told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray that just five days ago he learned doctors have found a cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa, a disease his daughter suffers from.

 

 

 

 

“Thanks to God they found a cure for my daughter’s disease,” Ortiz said. “My wife told me while I was boarding the plane to get here. It’s been hard to be away from them. I’m happy I won, but it’s been really hard to be away from them.”

 

 

 

 

 

Both fighters were coming off losses in heavyweight world title fights. Ortiz was fighting for the first time since challenging Deontay Wilder in a 2018 Candidata a baralla de l'any. The 6-foot-4 Ortiz wasted little time knocking out the 6-feet-7½, 269-pound Cojanu, returning for his first fight since challenging then-WBO Heavyweight Champion Joseph Parker.

 

 

 

 

 

“In my mind King Kong has not been defeated. I don’t feel I lost against Deontay Wilder. Vull lluitar [Antonio] Josué, but he only fights boxers he’s sure he can defeat. I’m going to ask the government to put me on disability, maybe that way Joshua will fight me.”

 

 

 

 

A l'obertura de la televisió, Mario Barris (22-0, 14 KOs) remained undefeated recording his sixth straight stoppage with an eighth-round TKO of Jose Roman (24-3-1, 14 KOs) en un partit de pes welter de 10 rondes programat. Each of the judges, as well as SHOWTIME expert scorer Steve Farhood, va marcar la lluita 80-70 in favor of Barrios at the time of the stoppage as Roman’s corner didn’t answer the bell for the ninth round.

 

 

 

 

San Antonio’s Barrios relied on effective body work in dominating the fight, de connexió a 61 de la seva 133 cops al cos. He connected on 44 per cent dels seus cops de poder (104/239) comparat amb 26 percent for Roman (34/132), who had just five body shots on the night.

 

 

 

 

"[Body work] is something I’ve been able to work on,” Barrios told Gray in the ring. “You put the body work in early and by the end of the fight they have nothing left. That worked perfectly for this fight. This was the farthest I’ve gone in a while. It was great work and I feel like I’m transitioning to the fighter that I always thought I’ve be.”

 

 

 

 

Barris, who suffered a cut above his left eye in the first round, sent Roman to the canvas at 1:15 of the fourth round with a strong right that dazed Roman, then a left hook that put Roman down for the seventh time in his career. Barrios ended the round with a flurry of punches that left Roman stunned.

 

 

 

 

 

The 23-year-old Barrios sent Roman down again with 1:38 remaining in the eighth round. Roman survived the round, but his corner refused to answer the bell and the fight was over.

 

 

 

 

“I feel I’m ready [for a title shot)],” Barrios said. “I feel strong. Em sento ràpid. Sóc jove, but whatever my managers throw at me I’m ready. If I could get it tomorrow, I’d take it.”

 

 

 

 

 

It was a star-studded night at Staples as current and former world champions attended the fights, including Jarrett Hurd, Errol Spence Jr., Leo Santa Creu, Abner Mars, Gervonta Davis and Adrien Broner.

 

 

 

 

 

Shawn Porter was also in attendance. It was recently announced that Porter and fellow former 147-pound world title holder Danny Garcia will square off against one another for the vacant WBC Welterweight World Championship live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Set. 8 del Barclays Center a Brooklyn, N.Y.

 

 

 

 

“I’m just a different type of athlete,” Porter told SHOWTIME’s Brian Custer. “When you talk about having the tools to become a two-time world champion; I have the tools, the athleticism, the tenacity the ring generalship. You will see all of that on Sept. 8.

 

 

 

 

 

“We always say that the business has to make sense [to make fights], And it sounds to me like the business has played its part. I win the WBC Championship and you’ll get Shawn Porter vs. Errol Spence.”

 

 

 

 

 

In streaming coverage of live undercard fights on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN, undefeated super lightweight prospect Fabian Maidana (16-0, 12 KOs), the brother of former champion Marcos Maidana, recorded a seventh-round stoppage (2:32) against former world title challenger Andrey Klimov (19-5, 9 KOs).

 

 

 

 

 

Also on the live stream, 2016 U.S. Olympian and unbeaten prospect Karlos Balderas (6-0, 5 KOs) dominated 54-fight veteran Giovanni Caro (27-24, 21 KOs) scoring a stoppage at 2:09 of the fourth round in a scheduled six-round super featherweight bout.

 

 

 

 

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader will replay on Monday at 10 p.m. ET / PT a SHOWTIME EXTREME.
