WORCESTER, Masa. (Xullo 31, 2018) – Unha ducia de anos despois de conseguir o seu terceiro título mundial en dúas categorías de peso diferentes, sete dende a súa última loita, “O Galo” José Rivera volve ao ring agosto 17 a titular “Regreso a casa”, Presentado por Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) en asociación con Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), no Paladio en Worcester, Massachusetts.

 

 

 

O de 45 anos Rivera (41-6-1, 24 Kos) xa perdeu máis de 30 libras, agora dentro de catro libras do seu peso contraído, desde que comezou a adestrar a principios deste ano. Titulara en contra Rubén “Guerreiro Moderno” Galván (27-26-4, 10 Kos) no evento principal de oito asaltos.

 

 

 

En 1997, Rivera capturou a Organización Internacional de Boxeo (IBO) Título mundial de peso welter, parada Gilberto Flores na segunda rolda. Seis anos despois, viaxou a Alemaña para enfrontarse invicto, cidade natal favorito Michel Trabant (38-0) para a vacante Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (WBA) Campionato do Mundo de peso welter, no que Rivera gañou unha decisión a 12 xornadas e o cinto.

 

 

 

Diante de case 10,000 fans da cidade natal de Worcester, Rivera rematou a súa carreira no boxeo ao gañar unha decisión unánime en 12 asaltos 2006 sobre o campión defensor Alejandro García(25-1) para o título mundial de peso superwelter da AMB.

 

 

 

“A idea de volver ao ring comezou co meu fillo. A.J., e eu falo de perseguir a historia,” Rivera explicou. “Non somos capaces de xuntar iso agora mesmo (A.J. naceu con espina bífida e non puido conseguir a autorización médica a tempo para o mes de agosto. 17th mostrar.), pero polo meu traballo duro estes últimos seis meses, Sentín que era conveniente continuar coa miña loita.

 

 

 

“Granite Chin Promotions foi moi importante para asegurarse de que este espectáculo se realice da forma máis profesional posible.. Non vou pensar na nosa empresa de promoción (Jos e A.J. posúe e opera RPE Promotions Entertainment) tería sido capaz de sacar isto. Había que facer todas as negociacións e adestrarme do único xeito que sei, a nivel de campionato, sería demasiado para nós.”

 

 

 

Promocións de queixo de granito’ co-promotor Chuck Shearns engadido, “Cando Jose e mais eu comezamos a falar do seu anel de volta, Eu fun a última persoa en pensar que estaba tolo. Fomos amigos durante os seus días de campionato e sei o incriblemente comprometido e disciplinado que é Jose. Eu loitei na 49 anos, para non compararme co nivel no que estivo Jose, pero sei que se pode facer. O que todos deberían saber é o ben que se coidou Jose durante os seus trinta e corenta. Algunha vez pensei iso Chris (Traietti, Co-promotor de GCP) e estaría co-promocionando a remontada de Jose? Non, pero estou feliz de participar e apoiareino na medida en que queira levar isto. Estivo adestrando coma el 25 e Jose vai sorprender a algunhas persoas.”

 

 

 

Durante o título de Rivera reina, a diferenza doutros campións do mundo, tamén ocupou un traballo a tempo completo como funcionario xudicial no Tribunal de Xustiza de Massachusetts, un cargo en Worcester que aínda ocupa 17 anos despois. Entre traballar e formar, non importa as súas responsabilidades familiares, José consegue equilibrar todo na súa vida extremadamente ocupada.

 

 

 

“Digamos que fai unha axenda ocupada,” comentou Rivera. “Estou comprometido a coidar da miña familia e farei o que sexa necesario. Normalmente corro antes do traballo e adestro despois do traballo. Comezar cedo e rematar tarde fai que os días sexan moi ocupados, pero hai que facer o traballo. Agora, Estou no medio do período máis duro de adestramento. A semana da loita é máis sobre prepararse mentalmente e facer peso. Non hai nada que poidas facer a semana da loita para axudarche a poñerte en mellor forma.”

 

 

 

Rivera non se fai ilusións de que a súa remontada levará a outro gran título mundial. O plan é que teña dúas loitas máis para acadar un total de 50 como un pro, pero está tomando as cousas unha loita á vez, e aínda espera a súa próxima loita, provisionalmente previsto para finais deste ano, estará na mesma carta que o debut profesional do seu fillo.

 

 

 

Rivera pelexou por última vez 2011, tomando unha decisión de oito voltas Paulo Mpendo, no Mohegan Sun Arena de Connecticut. O Galvan probado na batalla, o seu agosto. 17th rival de Indiana, pelexou contra outros campións do mundo, Incluíndo Zab Judah, Julio Cesar Chavez, JR., Jorge Páez e Paul Spadafora.

 

 

 

“Escoito que vén pelexar e que lle gusta xogar un pouco para tentar meterse na cabeza do seu opoñente.,” Rivera engadiu. Concentreime en min, o meu tempo e foco no plan de xogo

 

 

 

“O adestramento para esta loita foi máis mental que calquera outra cousa. Eu puiden alcanzar o máximo rendemento en 45 adestrando como o fixen no momento da flor. O máis importante é iso, traballando co meu adestrador Sean Fitzgerald, Estiven concentrado en asegurarme de que o meu tempo mellore xa que pasaron sete anos desde a última vez que loitei.

 

 

 

“E, claro, sempre é unha gran sensación boxear diante dos seguidores da miña cidade natal. O seu apoio sempre é apreciado.”

 

 

 

O nome do evento é “Regreso a casa” porque seis loitadores en acción son de Worcester, incluíndo tres que nunca loitaron alí como profesionais.

 

 

 

Middleweight Kendrick Ball, JR. (9-1-2, 6 Kos) e peso mediano junior Khiary Grey (15-4, 11 Kos), ambos promovidos polo CES Boxing, loitará na casa en Worcester como profesionais por primeira vez nun par de combates de seis asaltos. A pelota atópase Demetrius Walker (8-21-2, 4 Kos) No evento co-característico, mentres que Gray (15-4, 11 Kos) rostros Antonio Chaves Fernández (9-33, 4 Kos), de Brockton, MA, nunha revancha dunha loita gañada por Gray.

 

 

 

Springfield tamén está programado para loitar na carteleira en catro asaltos, MA peso welter José Ángel “KO” Ortiz (4-13-1, 1 KO) vs. Seth Basler (0-8) e peso pluma a favor do debut Josué Orta vs. de Worcester Edwin Rosado (1-7-1, 1 KO), Southbridge, MA peso welter Wilfredo “o Sucaro” pagán (4-0, 2 Kos) vs. TBA, e o peso welter pro debutante de Worcester Eslih Owusu.vs. Bryan “O Ladrillo” Abraham (6-30-2, 6 Kos).

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.

 

 

 

 

There’s no pressure on me, 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.

 

 

 

“Ao final do día, 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. Come September 8, I will show the world once again why I am one of the best.

 

 

 

 

“Ao final do día, 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 – poder, quickness, 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.

 

 

 

“Ao final do día, 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. Setembro 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.

 

ANGEL GARCIA, Pai de Danny & Adestrador

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

“Escoita, 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.

 

 

 

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

 

KENNY PORTER, Shawn’s Father & Adestrador

 

 

 

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, Presidente da 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, período. 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, Presidente Deportes & Programación de eventos, 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 loitas, 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 veces. 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

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) de 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), Rodriguez, 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) e $7.95 (Kindle).

Perfil da Asociación de Antigos Alumnos de Boxeo dos EUA: XASON “Big Six” ESTRADA

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Xullo 30, 2018) – 2004 U.S. Olímpico Jason “Big Six” Estrada cre plenamente que o boxeo lle salvou a vida, impedíndolle correr polas rúas da Providencia, Rhode Island, e moldeándoo no home que é hoxe.

 

 

 

“Non tiven cartos crecendo e puiden ir facilmente pola outra banda nas rúas,” explicou Estrada. “Moitos dos meus amigos de entón vendeban droga e moitos están mortos ou no cárcere. Coñecíaos a todos, coñecíanme. En vez de converterse nun narcotraficante, Golpeinos e leveinos os cartos. Podería ter facilmente terminado vendendo drogas a maior escala, disparoulles, ou recibir un tiro por eles. Estaba quebrado, pero o boxeo salvoume!”

 

 

 

O primeiro partido de afeccionados da Estrada foi 1987, cando só tiña sete anos, e converteuse nun dos boxeadores afeccionados máis dominantes do mundo entre 2001-2003, no que foi un “tres turba” campión no Campionato Nacional dos Estados Unidos, Campionatos Nacionais PAL e U.S. Reto. “Big Six” tamén segue sendo o único boxeador estadounidense que logrou unha medalla de ouro na división de peso súper pesado dos Xogos Panamericanos (2003), ademais de representar a EE. no 2004 Xogos Olímpicos en Atenas, Grecia.

 

 

 

Despois de clasificarse para o 2004 U.S. Equipo de Boxeo Olímpico, gran parte do interese do boxeo previo aos Xogos Olímpicos rodeou un esperado enfrontamento entre os dous mellores pesos superpesados ​​do mundo, Estrada e Rusia Alexandre Povetin. Desafortunadamente, A Estrada viuse prexudicada por un grave caso de planta faucitis, que deixou a Jason nun reparto e incapaz de adestrar máis que nadar durante todo o campamento preolímpico. O Estrada gañou na rolda inicial, pero foi eliminado na segunda por Cuban Michel Lopes, quen a Estrada derrotara con bastante facilidade na final do campionato do 2003 Xogos Panamericanos. Povetkin chegou a conseguir a medalla de ouro.

 

 

 

“Gustaríame loitar contra el” Dito camiño. “Fun super agudo, mentalmente, pero fisicamente non podía rebotar e moverme. Só tiven que tratar con iso. Descubrín que foi incrible o rápido que a xente se esquece no boxeo.”

 

 

 

Estrada non só acredita ao seu pai, optometrista Dr. Roland Estrada, por axudarlle a mantelo en liña recta e estreita, tamén lle ensinou a boxear. “O meu pai non tiña ningunha experiencia no boxeo cando comezamos,” Jason sinalou. “Pasamos de ximnasio a ximnasio, rapaces de combate, e recollendo cousas doutros adestradores. Apreciaba moito o meu pai porque sempre soubo que o seu estilo non era o único. Experimentamos diferentes estilos e coñecemos a uns excelentes adestradores. Dous dos meus adestradores favoritos son Barry Hunter (Washington DC.) e Mike Stafford (Cincinnati). Encántame con loitadores que coñecín nos afeccionados como Andre Dirrell. O tipo co que estou máis preto é Jorge García, contra quen loitei e batín nove veces. É un dos meus amigos máis chulos, aínda. O seu fillo é un bo prospecto, pero é o contrario do seu pai, que era baixo e fornido. O seu fillo é alto, boxeador larguirucho.”

 

 

 

Asociación de Antigos Alumnos de Boxeo dos Estados Unidos

 

 

 

Creado para defender unha vida, relacións mutuamente beneficiosas entre USA Boxing e os seus antigos alumnos, –boxers, funcionarios, adestradores e afeccionados ao boxeo — A Asociación de Antigos Alumnos conecta xeracións de campións, inspirando e devolvendo aos futuros campións de boxeo de USA Boxing, dentro e fóra do anel de.

 

 

 

A Asociación de Antigos Alumnos de Boxeo dos Estados Unidos está aberta a quen lle guste o boxeo e queira estar conectado co boxeo afeccionado.. Os membros teñen acceso a unha gran variedade de eventos especiais organizados pola Asociación de Antigos Alumnos, incluíndo a súa recepción anual no Salón da Fama da Asociación de Antigos Alumnos de Boxeo dos Estados Unidos.

 

 

 

Para incorporarse á Asociación de Antigos Alumnos, simplemente rexistrarse en alumni@usaboxing.org para a $40.00 cota de socio anual. Os novos socios recibirán unha camiseta, chaveiro e carteira electrónica.

 

 

 

 

A Estrada loitou profesionalmente durante máis dunha década, compilando un 20-6 (6 Kos) rexistro, como un inusualmente rápido, peso pesado de movemento liso. Hoxe, Estrada e o seu pai posúen e operan a Big Six Academy en Providence, adestrando boxeadores afeccionados e profesionais.

 

 

 

“O boxeo é como un matrimonio,” comentou Estrada, que se retirou do ring 3 hai medio ano. “Eu quero iso, pero xa non estamos xuntos. Aínda somos bos amigos. Aínda me encanta o boxeo como amigo. Recibo a miña solución de boxeo adestrando, aínda forma parte da miña vida. Eu entrego con algúns dos loitadores. Podo facer o que queira durante catro roldas. Non hai reto, sen presión. Aínda podería loitar, se non pola rigorosa formación. Problemas físicos que tiven cando loitaba – de volta, xeonllos e pés – xa non doe.

 

 

 

“Meu pai entende o coñecemento que teño – nunca pelexou – e moitas veces no ximnasio dicímonos, 'Só estaba pensando niso.’ Non ten experiencia (loitando no ring) e agora, déixame manexar todas as almofadas. Cada vez ponme máis, traballar sabio, pero vixíanos atentamente e encárgase do fin do negocio.

 

 

 

“Gústame moito axudar aos nosos loitadores a prepararse para entrevistas aos medios. Estou agradecido a USA Boxing por iso, porque fomos adestrados para estar no estado de ánimo adecuado para as entrevistas.”

 

 

 

Estrada tivo a oportunidade de viaxar polo mundo como membro dos equipos de elite de USA Boxing, boxeo en Cuba, República Dominicana Kazajistán, Irlanda (3 veces), Alemaña e Brasil.

 

 

 

Agora devolvendo aos boxeadores novos o que aprendeu nas filas de boxeo dos EUA, ao Estrada, de 37 anos, queda un gol de boxeo na súa lista de desexos.

 

 

 

“Encantaríame traballar con alguén que se converta en campión do mundo e gañe diñeiro para manter a súa familia,” Concluíu Estrada, “pero máis que nada, Encantaríame traballar cun boxeador que se converta en estadounidense. Olímpico porque era estadounidense. olímpico.”

 

 

 

E ninguén poderá quitarlle iso a Jason “Big Six” Estrada, un dos boxeadores afeccionados máis condecorados de América de todos os tempos, e un orgulloso membro da Asociación de Antigos Alumnos de Boxeo dos Estados Unidos.

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

photo by Esdel Palermo

 

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

 

 

 

Este sábado, Agosto 4, WBO ranked 14th Castelo (18-1-1, 13 Kos) loitará 2ndranked Marcus Browne (21-0, 16 Kos), from New York, in a 10-round scheduled bout from NYCB LIVE, sede do Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

 

 

 

Castillo-Browne is a special edition bout of PBC that will air live on FS2 & FOX Deportes at 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”, dixo Castelo, who is stationed in Puerto Rico, under the supervision of veteran trainer Freddy Trinidad, and Yoel ‘YowyGonzález 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, dito: “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. Alén, he is willing to face any opponent, at any place”.

LOS ANGELES (Xullo 28, 2018) – Mikey Garcia became the 10th 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.

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,"Dixo García, 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 percent clip.

 

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

 

Pascua, 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 libras. “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 [Desgaste] and Danny [Garcia] fighting in September. Keith Thurman is still recovering and needs a tune up.

“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. [Garcia] 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 por cento dos seus tiros de enerxía (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,", dixo Ortiz. “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 Loita do candidato Ano. 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. I want to fight [Anthony] Joshua, 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.”

 

 

 

 

Na apertura da transmisión, Mario Barrios (22-0, 14 Kos) remained undefeated recording his sixth straight stoppage with an eighth-round TKO of Jose Roman (24-3-1, 14 Kos) in a scheduled 10-round welterweight match. Each of the judges, as well as SHOWTIME expert scorer Steve Farhood, scored the fight 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, conectando en 61 da súa 133 tiros do corpo. He connected on 44 por cento dos seus golpes de enerxía (104/239) en comparación con 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.”

 

 

 

 

Barrios, 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. I feel fast. Son novo, 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 Cruz, Abner Mares, 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, Sete. 8 do Barclays Center, en Brooklyn, N.I..

 

 

 

 

“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; Teño as ferramentas, 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.
