Hamer, of Dortmund, Duitsland, has dominated the women’s middleweight division since 2010. The 27-year-old says training at elevation in the mountains of Austria is bringing the best out of her.

 

Hoe is het trainingskamp tot nu toe verlopen??

 

 

 

“My camp has gone well. We train three times a day and work hard to be in the best shape possible on June 22 in Detroit.”

 

Can you tell us about your current training location?

 

 

 

“We are in Austria, staying at a place in the mountains that is about 5000-feet elevation. It’s amazing here. The nature and the mountains inspire me and give me power. It’s very comfortable to do my roadwork and go to the boxing gym because everything is situated in a comfortable way.”

 

What is a typical day like at training camp?

 

 

 

“We’ve been in Austria for the last 10 dagen. Bij 7:30 ben, we start the first interval runs. Bij 9 ben, I have breakfast and at 11 ben, we go up to the mountains to our gym (which is at 6500 feet high) to do my strength and conditioning work. Later, in the afternoon, we start our boxing work. The nature and beautiful surroundings give me peace of mind.”

 

How and why is your training camp built into different stages?

 

 

 

“The mountains are perfect to prepare for the fight. You are away from your hometown stay more focused on training. The air is thin and this high level of elevation gives your body a higher level of conditioning. Op juni 10, we will move on to our next stage of training, which will take place in the United States. That will be to help acclimate me to the new time and climate for fight night on June 22, which is when I will put all of this hard work together and have it pay off in a big way.”

 

Who is your head trainer?

 

 

 

“My coach is Dimitrie Kirnos. I started my professional career with him. He himself was Soviet Union Boxing Champion and trained many top champions. He is old school and pushes my mind and body to the limit. He is a big part of my team we have a great bond. I have much respect and admiration for him.”

 

Have you done anything different preparing for this fight?

 

 

 

“I spar with lots of shorter fighters, like Tori Nelson. I guarantee that it will be much more explosive and impressive than Claressa Shields was against her.”

 

American fans love knockouts. Can they expect a Christina Hammer KO on June 22?

 

 

 

“That’s why I train hard and give everything in the gym. I want to be amazing that night and a knockout would be a perfect ending.”

 

 

What is your prediction for Juni 22?

 

 

 

“I will show my power and skills. People will see who the real unified Middleweight Champion of the world is. My performance will speak for itself!"

In addition to his Olympic success, Dychko is a three-time medalist at the World Amateur Champions and medaled twice at the Asian Games.

Mike’s fought for the world title and faced many of the best plus he’s a fan favorite in Florida. Both men have something to prove in this fight and the fans are in for a real treat.”

Wereldkampioen vedergewicht Santa Cruz rematcht zaterdag viervoudig wereldkampioen Abner Mares, Juni 9 Live op SHOWTIME vanuit STAPLES Center in Los Angeles & Georganiseerd door Premier Boxing Champions
Klik HIER Voor foto's van Esther Lin / Showtime

LOS ANGELES (Mei 22, 2018) – Wereldkampioen vedergewicht Leo Santa Cruz organiseerde dinsdag een mediatraining in Los Angeles terwijl hij zich voorbereidde op zijn herkansing van de wereldtitel tegen viervoudig wereldkampioen Abner Mares Zaterdag, Juni 9 live op SHOWTIME vanuit STAPLES Center in Los Angeles tijdens een evenement gepresenteerd door Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

De uitzending van SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING zal ook de ongeslagen wereldkampioen superweltergewicht bevatten Jermell Charlo zijn titel verdedigen tegen de voormalige wereldkampioen Austin Trout.

 

 

 

Tickets voor de live-evenement, die wordt bevorderd door Ringstar Sport en TGB Promotions, beginnen om $50, plus van toepassing zijnde vergoedingen, en zijn nu te koop. Om kaartjes te kopen, ga naar AXS.com of klik HIER.

 

 

 

Santa Cruz en Mares vochten voor het eerst in augustus 2015 bij STAPLES Center, waarbij Santa Cruz de meerderheidsbeslissing en een vacante vedergewichttitel behaalde. De consensus top-vijf vedergewichten zullen proberen een herhaling neer te zetten van de prestatie waarmee ze ten onder gingen 2,000 stoten gecombineerd.

 

 

 

Santa Cruz kreeg dinsdag gezelschap van zijn vader en trainer bij City of Angels Boxing, José Santa Cruz, en Richard Schaefer, voorzitter en CEO van Ringstar Sports. Dit is wat ze dinsdag te zeggen hadden:

 

LEO SANTA CRUZ

 

 

 

“Ik denk dat Abner er de afgelopen gevechten beter uit heeft gezien, maar niet zozeer dat hij er onverslaanbaar uitziet of zoiets. Hij heeft enkele verbeteringen laten zien, maar ik heb het gevoel dat ik ook veel beter ben geworden. Het wordt een geweldig gevecht en ik zal als overwinnaar uit de strijd komen.

 

 

 

“Hij zegt dat hij me deze keer vaker gaat boksen, maar het is gemakkelijker om dat te zeggen dan het te doen. Als je in de ring stapt en de fans hoort, ze zorgen ervoor dat je wilt vechten. Zodra je het publiek hoort, wil je ze vermaken. Je houdt ervan om de mensen te horen schreeuwen.

 

 

 

“Ik ga proberen naar buiten te gaan en de fans een geweldig gevecht te geven, zoals ik altijd doe. Ik heb het gevoel dat ik momenteel in een goede conditie ben. Ik voel me een stuk sterker en zelfs mijn vader heeft me verteld dat dit net zo goed is als hij me heeft zien kijken.

 

 

 

“Ik heb veel geleerd sinds het eerste Mares-gevecht. Ik heb geleerd hoe ik me tijdens een gevecht beter kan aanpassen. Ik ben een completere vechter en het zal me helpen er deze keer nog beter uit te zien.

 

 

 

“Ik ben nog steeds even gemotiveerd als altijd. Ik heb dezelfde honger alsof dit gevecht om mijn eerste titel zou zijn. Ik onderschat nooit iemand en geef altijd alles in de sportschool. Het is niet anders om hiernaartoe te gaan.

 

 

 

“We gaan deze keer proberen groter te winnen, maar ik ben er klaar voor 12 rondes. Ik zou hem zeker graag tegenhouden. Als de knock-out komt, komt die, en als ik een opening zie, ga ik profiteren.

 

 

 

“Ik probeer mijn vader zoveel mogelijk te motiveren door hard te trainen. Hij zegt dat hij het gelukkigst is als ik hard werk, dus ik blijf proberen het elke dag te pushen en ervoor te zorgen dat hij gelukkig is.

 

 

 

“De twee gevechten met Frampton hebben mij zeker een betere vechter gemaakt. Ze hebben me veel ervaring gegeven en ik heb veel geleerd van die gevechten. Ik weet dat ik een betere vechter zal zijn voor dit gevecht dan de eerste keer dat we vochten.

 

 

 

“Wij bereiden ons er altijd op voor 12 rondes. Ik ben gegaan 13 rondjes sparren omdat mijn vader er altijd graag eentje extra doet. Dit was een van de beste kampen die we hebben gehad op het gebied van conditionering en sparring.

 

 

 

“Ik ben klaar om me te verenigen met een van de vedergewichtkampioenen. Ik en Gary Russell jr. gevochten bij de amateurs. Hij versloeg mij, maar het was een goed gevecht en ik geloof dat ik hem kan verslaan. Ik ken de tactieken die ik zou gebruiken. Hopelijk krijg ik mijn herkansing.

 

 

 

“We zijn gefocust op het verbeteren van alles in het kamp. We werken aan mijn kracht, snelheid, voetenwerk en alle vaardigheden die nodig zijn om deze herkansing te winnen.”

 

JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Leo’s vader & Trainer

 

 

 

“Het eerste gevecht met Mares was een beetje ruig en soms zelfs vies. Na vier rondes had ik het gevoel dat ze het gevecht van ons stalen, dus zei ik tegen Leo dat hij hem moest vermoeien en moest laten zien dat hij de betere bokser is.. De resultaten van de strijd bewezen dat.

 

 

 

“Er zijn veel geweldige vechters, maar niet veel hebben goede verdedigingstechnieken en dat is waar elke vechter zich kan verbeteren. Met mijn kinderen en met Leo heb ik hem altijd getraind om verdedigend goed te zijn, want iedereen kan stoten uitdelen, maar niet iedereen kan een stoot verdragen en doorgaan. Ik heb altijd van deze sport gehouden, maar ik hou er nog meer van om te winnen. Leo groeit nog steeds, maar ik denk dat hij op dit moment de beste vechter in vedergewicht is.

 

 

 

“Ik denk zeker dat Mares met nieuwe vaardigheden in dit gevecht zal komen en een andere aanpak zal hebben met zijn nieuwe trainer nu hij bij Robert Garcia is.. Ik denk dat hij zal proberen meer te boksen en ons op de tegenstoot te proberen te krijgen.”

 

RICHARD SCHAEFER, Voorzitter & CEO van Ringstar Sports

 

 

 

“Leo is het soort vechter dat altijd de gelegenheid aangrijpt en altijd een manier vindt om als overwinnaar uit de strijd te komen. Het is echt een 50-50 gevecht. Ik kan je veel redenen geven waarom beide jongens gaan winnen. Het is het beste gevecht in juni 9 en het is een van de beste gevechten die je dit jaar gaat zien.

 

 

 

“Leo Santa Cruz en Abner Mares zullen nooit in een saai gevecht verwikkeld raken. Ze zorgen voor bijzondere actie en drama in de ring. De winnaars zullen elke keer de vechtfans zijn.

 

 

 

“Dit is een belangrijk gevecht voor beide jongens. Het gaat over opscheppen in Los Angeles en in de geladen vedergewichtdivisie. Ik weet dat het het beste in beide vechters naar boven zal halen.

 

 

 

“Leo won een zeer beperkte beslissing die beide kanten op had kunnen gaan, maar Leo haalde het eruit in het eerste gevecht. Abner en Robert Garcia passen heel goed bij elkaar en Robert heeft het beste uit Abner weten te halen. Hij gaat Leo Santa Cruz opnieuw een mooie uitdaging geven en wel met het gevecht in Los Angeles, de fans zullen beide jongens zeker aanzetten om extra hard te gaan.

 

 

 

“Dit zijn het soort gevechten waar fans van houden. Dit is het soort gevecht dat het boksen overstijgt. Dit zijn twee vechters die gewoon niet in staat zijn om een ​​saai gevecht te voeren. Ze zetten mensen op de been.”

“The Bosnian Prince” Armin Mrkanovic defeats Nicholas Lavin this Past Friday night in Queens, New York

Mrkanovic now eyeing rematch with UBF champ Josh Himes

Queens, New York (Mei 22, 2018)–Armin “The Bosnian Prince” Mrkanovic returned to the ring after an 11-month absence to win a win six-round unanimous decision over Nicholas Lavin in a cruiserweight bout that took place this past Friday night at Amazura Concert Hall in the Jamaica section of Mrkanovic’s hometown of Queens, New York.

 

 

 

Mrkanovic controlled the action, and won by shutout scores of 60-54 on all cards to up his record to 8-3.

 

 

 

The bout was the 1st ring appearance for Mrkanovic since his highly controversial defeat against Josh Himes that took place last June 24th in West Virginia.

 

 

 

In dat gevecht, Mrkanovic should have been awarded the bout as he outboxed Himes, and even asked for a review of the fight by the UBF, but his requests fell on deaf ears, and now Mrkanovic is demanding a rematch for the UBF title.

 

 

 

“1st of all, it was good to come back and get a win. It its always special to perform in front of my hometown fans,” said Mrkanovic, whose focus quickly turned to Himes and the UBF.

 

 

 

“I demand a rematch with Himes. The UBF told me that they would make this happen, and to this point they have been silent. Everyone who saw the fight knows that I got screwed, so it is only right that we do this rematch. Himes knows what happened. He has not even fought since our fight. I am ready now, so hopefully the UBF and Himes do the right thing and make this happen.”

MULVANE, Mei. (Mei 21, 2018) — Afgelopen zaterdagavond werd geschiedenis geschreven op de “SUPERBOX LIVE: Hoge inzet” pay-per-view-kaart, wanneer 2016 Olympisch bronzen medaillewinnaar en lokale held, Nico Hernandez, knock-out Hongaarse uitdager Oudejaarsavond “The Silent Assassin” Kanaal in de openingsronde om de vacante International Boxing Association vast te leggen (IBA) Wereldkampioenschap vlieggewicht in slechts zijn vijfde professionele gevecht, aan de Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas.

 

 

 

In het eerste wereldtitelgevecht ooit gehouden in Kansas, Hernandez (5-0, 4 KO) overweldigde Kanala's (14-7, 9 KO), de voormalige Wereldboksfederatie (WBF) wereldkampioen supervlieggewicht, om de jongste te worden (22) WEER een wereldkampioen ooit, en vestigde ook het record voor de minste professionele gevechten die nodig waren om IBA-wereldtitel te worden.

 

SUPERBOX LIVE: Hoge inzet werd gelanceerd als de nieuwe live-boksserie van Super Channel,SUPERBOX LIVE, in samenwerking met KO Night Boxing LLC, en het werd exclusief live uitgezonden in Canada op Super Channel.

 

 

 

Geïntegreerde sportmedia gedistribueerd “SUPERBOX LIVE: Hoge inzet” in de Verenigde Staten via kabel, satelliet- en digitale pay-per-view zoals deze wereldwijd live werd gestreamd FITE.TV app en website (exclusief Canada).

 

 

 

Hernandez was vanaf de openingsbel agressief, beukende Kanala's’ hoofd en lichaam. Een linkse hoek van Hernandez op het lichaam deed Kanalas echt pijn, die van rechts naar beneden ging na het wrede leverschot. Kanalas versloeg Hall of Fame Steve Smoger's telling, en het was slechts een kwestie van tijd voordat Hernandez het gevecht zou beëindigen. Het kwam snel, Direct nadat weer een lichaam-en-hoofd-combinatie de overtroffen Hongaar voor de tweede en laatste keer op de mat zette.

 

 

 

“Veel mensen onderschatten mijn kracht,” Zei Hernandez na het gevecht. “Ik geloof dat hij ooit mijn macht voelde, Ik denk niet dat hij het meer wilde. Het voelde alsof ik zijn hart wegnam. Ik was geduldig, Ik wilde dat het een paar rondes zou duren om te zien wat hij had, maar ik heb zijn hart weggenomen. Ik kan niet echt teleurgesteld zijn, want ik ben nu wereldkampioen.”

 

 

 

“Nico was zaterdagavond explosief en toonde een killersinstinct,” promotor John Andersen becommentarieerde. “Hij ging boksen, maar ik denk dat hij angst rook, en Nico stapte in Kanalas’ hoofd. Hij voelde het en sprong op hem.”

 

 

 

Voordat hij de ring verliet, Hernandez pakte de microfoon in het midden van de ring en riep drievoudig Olympiër en tweevoudig Olympisch bronzen medaillewinnaar uit, “Iers” Paddy Barnes (5-0, 1 KO), wie was de favoriet om een ​​gouden medaille te winnen in de vlieggewichtdivisie op de 2016 Olympische Spelen. Hij werd uitgeschakeld in de ronde van 16 en Hernandez nam de bronzen medaille mee naar huis. “Er komt een bronzen medaillewinnaar uit (Noordelijk) Ierland, Paddy Barnes, en dat is tegen wie ik heel graag zou willen vechten.”

 

 

 

“Ik denk dat dit een gevecht is waar we een gesprek over moeten beginnen,” merkte Andersen op. “Het is niet de lijn die Barnes is 21 (hij is 31) en ik ken er niet veel 30 of oudere vlieggewichten. Het is heel logisch en kan een groot gevecht zijn. Ze zijn allebei Olympisch bronzen medaillewinnaar, al gevochten in gepland 10 en 12 ronde gevechten, en hebben riemen. (Barnes is de WBO Intercontinental vlieggewichtkampioen). Nico moet een stap verder gaan qua concurrentie, ook. Ik denk dat ze de ring in moeten gaan en dan kunnen we zien wat er gebeurt.

 

 

 

“Als ze dit gevecht niet meteen willen aangaan, Misschien kunnen we het opbouwen door ze op dezelfde kaart te zetten, en dan volgend jaar vechten. Dit gevecht is heel logisch voor beide vechters en Nico heeft al gezegd dat hij tegen Barnes wil vechten.”

 

 

 

Hernandez sloot zich aan bij regerend IBA-wereldkampioenen, licht zwaargewicht Sergey Kovalev en junior middengewicht Mark De Luca, evenals voormalige IBA-wereldkampioenen zoals Hall of Famers Oscar de la Hoya, George Foreman, Roberto Duran en Arturo Gatti, naast sterrenRoy Jones, Jr., Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosely, James Toney, Michaël Kessler, Erik Morales, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Glen Johnson en Antonio Tarver.

 

 

 

2011 Gouden medaillewinnaar van de Russische juniorenkampioenschappen Andrej Afonin (6-0, 3 KO) hield zijn ongeslagen record in tact toen Pedro “De Reguilete” Rodriguez (23-4, 19 KO), de Cubaanse inheemse en voormalige World Boxing Association (WBA) Fedalatin cruiserweight-kampioen, kon de bel niet beantwoorden in de derde ronde van het co-featured-evenement.

 

 

 

Ongeslagen Oekraïens zwaargewicht Oleksandr Teslenko (13-0, 11 KO), gepromoot door DiBella Entertainment en vechtend uit Toronto, gestopt Terrance “Grote Jim” Marmeren (9-6, 7 KO) in de tweede ronde.

 

 

 

Ongeslagen Washington-vedergewicht Victor Morales, Jr. (9-0, 5 KO) was te veel voorDavid Berna (15-4, 14 KO), van Hongarije, die klaagde over een elleboogblessure en verloor door middel van een technische knock-out in de tweede ronde, in de op televisie uitgezonden opener.

 

 

 

In de televisie-swingwedstrijd, die voorafgaand aan het hoofdevenement werd gehouden, populair Wichita junior weltergewicht Jeff Strum (3-0, 2 KO) hield de trein aan het rollen’ met een knock-out in de tweede ronde van de Nigeriaan Archie Weah (2-11).

Undefeated Welterweight Gerome Quigley battles Raymond Serrano for USBA and WBC United States Welterweight titles on Saturday, June 16th at Gardens Ice House in Laurel, Maryland

Laat een reactie achter

 

 

LAUREL, MARYLAND (MEI 21, 2018)–Weltergewicht Gerome Quigley will look to stay perfect when he takes on tough Raymond Serrano in a 10-round battle for the USBA and WBC United States titles on Zaterdag, 16 juni bij The Gardens Ice House in Laurier, Maryland.

 

 

 

The show is promoted by Jeter Promotions and GQ Promotions.

 

 

 

Quigley of Montgomery Village, Maryland has an unblemished mark of 18-0 met 16 knock-outs, and is one of most underrated contenders in the world. He states that he will be ready for his toughest bout to date.

 

 

 

“I don’t know much about him other then he is tough and durable. This will be a good test for me, and I am stepping to the next level with this fight. Serrano is battled tested, so that should bring out the best in me,” said Quigley.

 

 

 

Despite having nearly a 90% knock-out ratio, Quigley feels that he is more a of a boxer then a fight that is just looking for the knockout.

 

 

 

“I look at myself as a boxer-puncher. I am well balanced. When people see my record, they may look at me as just a puncher because of all of the knockouts, when the reality is that I am a boxer. I have more boxing ability then punching ability.”

 

 

 

This fight is a chance for Quigley to get on the map be mentioned with the top welterweights in the world.

 

 

 

“A win would get me in the mix and guarantee me a spot in the top-10 or top-15 of the WBC and IBF. It will put the world on notice about who I am as a fighter.”

 

 

 

Quigley has been plying his trade in the Beltway area (Quigley has fought in Germany 3 tijden) while slowly stepping up his competition level. Now he feels that he is ready to ascend on the national and world stages.

 

 

 

“I was staying low-key and build up my record and maybe sneak up on somebody. I was promoting my own fights. I saw this model that (show co-promoter) Tony Jeter used. He is an inspiration for what I have done. He promoted himself. He got ranked twice in the top-15 and got himself some major fights. I feel, especially with this win, I can do that.”

 

 

 

Even though the stakes are high for this bout, Quigley is fighting for more than just two belts and a world ranking.

 

 

 

“Als alles goed gaat, I can bring my Fiance and two kids here. They are living in Frankfurt, Duitsland, and I can bring them back here.”

 

 

 

Quigley was 68-5 als amateur, and was a 2-time United States open champion, evenals een 2007 semifinalist at the National PAL Tournament.

 

 

 

A stacked undercard with 6 undefeated fighters seeing action.

Anthony “The Magic Man” Tarver Credits USA Boxing for giving him Structure that carried him to top

Laat een reactie achter
COLORADO SPRINGS, Ronde. (Mei 21, 2018) – Future Hall of Famer Anthony “The Magic Man” Tarver (31-6-1, 1 NC, 22 KO) has just about done it all as a boxer having been an Olympic medal winner and world champion as an amateur, along with capturing five major light heavyweight world titles as a professional, as well as a pair of De Ring magazine’s top honors, and four other world championships in two different divisions.
“I credit USA Boxing for giving me structure for the first time in my life,” Tarver verklaard. “Everything was scheduled; curfew, eating, opleiding, slaap….alles! I then understood that I had to be accountable for everything I did. I had talent, but I wasn’t structured, and that was bigger than me. I had to adjust to authority. My determination took off, giving me support I never had before. I went on to make speaking engagements and get sponsors. I broke barriers. I’ve been the best at every level that I fought at in the world.”
Tarver was a highly decorated amateur who had an amazing 158-12 record. He is the only boxer to capture gold medals at World Amateur Championships, U.S. National Championships and Pan-American Games in the same year (1995). The Orlando, Florida-born southpaw won a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, losing in the quarterfinals to future world champion Vassiliy Jirov, who Tarver had defeated in the semifinals of the 1995 World Amateur Championships. Tarver also won top honors at the 1994 National Golden Gloves Tournament and 1995 World Championships Challenge.
“I went on a winning roll in 1995 and went into the Olympics in rare form,” Tarver zei. “And that’s why I was favored to win a gold medal. I was hitting him (Jirov), the same guy I’d beaten in the World Championships, but no points were registering for me. I had a good second round, but I was down three points, so I threw my game plan away in the third round. I felt I had to do more and got away from my style: counter punching, not getting hit, and being patient. I thought I had won and so did a lot of people. I made up for that, hoewel, with a gold-medal professional career.
“I had been faced with a decision about going pro after I was beaten in the ’92 Olympic Trials. I decided to stay in the amateurs, despite not having any guarantees about making the 1996 U.S. Olympisch Team. I sacrificed four years of my pro career, which is why I turned pro at a relatively late age (27). I was determined when I found out the 1996 Olympics were in Atlanta. I think I made the right decision and I have no regrets.
“I had always dreamed of going to the Olympics. I saw Roy Jones, Jr – we first fought each other at 13 – get robbed of gold. I was watching that on television, jumped up, and knew where I was heading: The Olympics! We both suffered horrible decisions in the Olympics and I knew then that our careers would be parallel.
Tarver made his pro debut February 18, 1997 in Philadelphia, stoppen Joaquin Garcia (4-0) in de tweede ronde.
“I was an Olympic bronze medal winner but when I first turned pro,” Tarver added, “I didn’t have a promoter or manager. Nobody was willing to take a chance on me until I was 4-0, when I signed by first contract with Russell Peltz. I felt nobody could beat me.”
Nobody was able to beat Tarver, at least until his 17th pro strijd, wanneer Eric Hardingdefeated Tarver by way of a 12-round unanimous decision.
Twee jaar later, Tarver embarked on a 12-fight murderer’s row stretch during the next seven years, arguably establishing him as the No. 1 pound-for-pound vechter in de wereld. It all started with a successful rematch with Harding (21-1-1) in Indianapolis, when Tarver dropped Harding in the fourth round, plus twice more in the fifth, on his way to a fifth-round technical knockout to avenge his lone pro loss to that date.

Next up for Tarver was a showdown with 44-3 Montell Griffin for the WBC and IBF 175-pound division titles, which were vacated by Roy Jones Jr., April 26, 2003 bij Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. In his first world title shot as a pro, Tarver pitched a complete shutout, decking Griffin in the first and last rounds to shut out his opponent by scores of 120-103 van alle drie de juryleden.
Zeven maanden later, echter, Tarver lost a controversial 12-round majority decision and his WBC crown (he was stripped of his IBF belt) to WBA Super and IBO champion Jones in Las Vegas. The following May at the venue, Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, hoewel, Tarver became the first to knockout Jones, putting him to sleep in the second round.
Tarver then became a mainstream celebrity, appearing on late-night shows and covers ofDe Ring magazine and KO Magazine, and co-hosting an ESPN Vrijdag Night Fights uitzending.
“I was robbed in my first fight with Roy,” Tarver insisted. “They called my knockout of Roy the greatest upset in light heavyweight history. Why didn’t they see me coming? I had beaten everybody ranked ahead of me. Roy was the pound-4-pound king, but he knew. I may not be the fastest, the quickest, or the strongest, but I doubt that there’s ever been a pro fighter to enter the ring with a higher IQ than me. Even at my age, I still feel that way today.”
The WBC stripped Tarver of his title in 2004 for fighting IBF champion Glen Johnson (41-9-2) instead of the WBC mandatory challenger. Johnson, ironisch, was stripped of his IBF title for the same reason right before his fight in Los Angeles with Tarver. Tarver and Johnson fought for De Ring and IBO titles and Johnson won a 12-round split decision.
In their rematch six months later in Memphis, Tarver won a unanimous 12-round decision over Johnson to capture the IBO strap. Tarver completed his trilogy with Jones, retaining his IBO title with a unanimous 12-round decision (117-111, 116-112, 116-112).
Tarver lost a 12-round decision June 10, 2006 in Atlantic City to Bernard Hopkins for the IBO championship, which was soon vacated and recaptured by Tarver with a 12-round majority decision over Elvir Muriqi (34-3).
Tarver traveled to Australia in 2011 to challenge IBO cruiserweight champion and local hero Danny Green, who retired after nine rounds, as Tarver added another title belt to his display case.
In december van 2013 in Temecula, Californië, Tarver knocked out Jonathon Banks (29-2-1) in de zevende ronde, and Tarver’s last fight was a 12-round split decision draw with former world champion Steve Cunningham (28-7) in Newark, New Jersey.
In 2006, Tarver starred as Mason “The Line” Dixon, the heavyweight champion in the film,Rocky Balboa.
Tarver, as he marches towards his planned history-making performance by becoming the oldest heavyweight world champion of all-time, also has served as a color commentator in boxing for Spike TV and Showtime.
Vandaag, op de leeftijd van 49, Tarver is still technically active, and he also trains his son and undefeated middleweight prospect, Antonio Tarver, Jr. (5-0 (4 KO), where they live in Tampa, Florida.
“I was older than the rest of the boxers on the U.S. Olympic Team and the U.S. National Team,” Tarver merkte. “What a team! Guys like Diego Corrales en Zab Judah didn’t make that Olympic Team. I gave Floyd Mayweather, Jr. his first moniker, ‘Pretty Boy Floyd’, until he changed it years later to ‘Money’. We had a bond on that Olympic team with Floyd, Fernando Vargas, David Reid, Zarim Raheem and the others.”
Although at the age of 49 he is still an active fighter, Tarver occassionally does some color commentating and he trains pro and amateur boxers at a gym in Tampa, Florida. “I’m not retired as a fighter,” Tarver commented. “I started a program, ‘Train with The Champ’, and it includes room rent and training. I like to say it’s an AirB&B for boxing. I train my son (5-0 middengewicht Antonio Tarver, Jr. er. I learned a lot from my early days, training in Orlando with my coach, Lou Harris, and I reunited with Jimmy Williams, wie is 90 nu, training my son together in Tampa.
Tarver also is an advocate of the relatively new “USA Boxing Alumni Association,” which was created to champion a lifelong, wederzijds voordelige relaties tussen de VS in dozen en haar alumni, –boksers, ambtenaren, coaches en boxing fans — de Alumnivereniging verbindt generaties kampioenen, inspirerende en terug te geven aan de VS Boxing toekomstige kampioenen boksen, in en uit de ring.
“I’m going online to join,” Tarver zei. “I’m looking forward to attending an Alumni Association meeting, Juni 24-30 during the Junior Olympics in Charleston, West Virginia.
Everything that goes around, komt rond, in USA Boxing. Just ask future Hall of Fame candidate Antonio Tarver.

NATIONALE HAVEN, MD. (Mei 20, 2018) – WBC Light Heavyweight world champion Adonis Stevenson and former two-division world champion Badou Jack fought to a highly competitive majority draw Saturday at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. At MGM National Harbor in Maryland, and in the opening bout on SHOWTIME, Gary Russell Jr. (29-1, 17 KO) verslagen Jozef “JoJo” Diaz Jr. (26-1, 14 KO).

 

 

 

With the draw, Stevenson retains the WBC belt in what was Toronto’s most significant world title fight in more than 30 jaar. De juryleden scoorden het gevecht 115-113 in favor of Jack and 114-114 tweemaal. Russell won his fight via unanimous decision, 115-113 en 117-111 tweemaal, to retain his WBC featherweight world title.

 

 

 

The Stevenson-Jack bout was the main event of a split-venue SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader. Deideo recap here: https://s.sho.com/2LgUaqL

 

 

 

 

It was a day that saw SHOWTIME deliver three world championship fights from three countries.

 

 

 

 

In a bout filled with momentum swings, it was Jack (21-1-4, 13 KO) who was the busier and more accurate fighter. While Stevenson (29-1-1, 24 KO) outpointed Jack in the early rounds, the challenger turned it on in round number seven and dominated the champion in the second half of the fight. In rounds seven through ten, Jack out landed Stevenson 114-40. Echter, a ferocious body shot from the right hand of Stevenson in round ten altered the momentum back in his favor.

 

 

 

Stevenson, who has resided in Montreal since he was five-years-old, was able to gain a second wind in the 11thronde, riding the momentum of the body shot that injured Jack. With everything on the line in the night’s final round, both fighters emptied the tank and left it all in the ring. Jack rebounded tremendously and when the final bell rang, it was Stevenson who was struggling to stay on his feet.

 

 

 

“I went to the body and saw that he was fatigued,” zei Stevenson, who moves to 9-0-1 in de wereld titel gevechten. “I had to keep the pressure on him. He’s a slick fighter, a two-time world champion but I felt I won the fight.

 

 

 

“I used both hands. I touched him a lot with the right hand on the body and slowed him down. He tried to come and attack me. I feel like I won the fight but I’ll give him a rematch if he wants it.”

 

 

 

Krik, who started the fight sluggishly, thought he did enough in the later rounds to win the fight.

 

 

 

“I thought I definitely won the fight,” zei Jack, who drew for the fourth time in his career. “No judge had him winning. I have no idea why I can’t get a decision. It could be that they’re jealous of Floyd and don’t like him. I’m one of his top fighters. I can’t do anything about it. I’m not the judge. I have to respect their decision.

 

 

 

“Maybe I started the fight too slow. I gave away those rounds. He didn’t really hit me. I can’t do anything about it, let’s do a rematch in Las Vegas. I came to his backyard, it’s time he comes out to Vegas.”

 

 

 

In the main event from MGM National Harbor in Maryland, it was a tactical and hard fought battle of two former U.S. Olympians as Russell Jr. (29-1, 17 KO) defeated Diaz Jr. (26-1, 14 KO). Russell won the contest via unanimous decision, 115-113 en 117-111 tweemaal, to retain his WBC featherweight world title. The 29-year-old hometown favorite used his hand speed, quickness and relentless attack to overwhelm Diaz Jr., the previously undefeated top-ranked contender.

 

 

 

Russell Jr.’s game plan to dictate the pace and establish the jab was clear, throwing a career-high 587 jabs throughout the 12-round battle. While the number of punches landed were close (199-192 in favor of Russell Jr.), Russell Jr.’s output trumped Diaz Jr.’s accuracy as the champion’s career-high 992 punches thrown were the most ever for him in a CompuBox tracked fight. Diaz Jr. was committed to attacking the body of Russell Jr., but he was unable to break the champion down, who injured his right hand in the third round.

 

 

 

“We train to survive those body shots,” zegt Russell Jr. “We put the work in every day in the ring. We consistently grind and push ourselves to be great and we push ourselves to the limit.

 

 

 

“I was disappointed in my performance because I wasn’t planning on going the distance. I hurt the right hand, but I still had to use it, because he could not get past my jab.”

 

 

 

Diaz Jr. showed heart and youthful enthusiasm, closing the fight with a strong final round but ultimately, he lacked the creative, diversified attack needed to truly trouble Russell Jr.

 

 

 

“The game plan was to break him down with the body shots and start attacking him more in the later rounds,” said the South El Monte, Calif. inheems. “But I started attacking him too late and didn’t pick it up until the 8th or 9th round. Gary Russell Jr. is a tremendous fighter and he did a great job keeping me at bay.”

 

 

 

“This will just make me a hungrier fighter. I hope I got the respect of a lot of fight fans. I wanted to become champion against the best featherweight fighter in the world. Tonight wasn’t my night but I’m going to bounce back harder and I’ll be champion soon.”

 

 

 

Earlier in the day of in a live stream on the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page, Josh Warrington became the new IBF featherweight world champion by upsetting Lee Selby in a split-decision victory. De rechters scoorde de wedstrijd 116-112, 115-113 en 113-115.

 

 

 

De SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader van zaterdag wordt maandag opnieuw gespeeld 10 p.m. ET / PT op SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Subriel Matías shines; defeated Mexican Adrián Estrella

Laat een reactie achter

Cataño, Puerto Rico – Puerto Rican super prospect Subriel Matias (10-0, 10 KO's) from the Maternillo neighborhood of Fajardo, won by technical knockout in the fifth round over Mexican Adrián Estrella (28-2, 24 KO's) in combat held at the park Pedro ‘Perucho’ Cepeda in Cataño as part of the event promoted by Fresh Productions Boxing.

 

In the first two rounds, Estrella was able to establish his boxing, but entering the third round, the Puerto Rican began to throw an accurate jab that led him to combine more shots to take the round.

 

The fourth round was a action packed for both fighters. Both were connecting blows with bad intentions, but in the second half of the round, Matías was able to connect accurate shots to the body and face of the Mexican Estrella who was in bad shape once the round was over. Daarna, Estrella decided not to continue with the bout.

 

“I have a lot to improve,” said Subriel Matias, “I lost the first two rounds, he dominated me, but we knew that the victory was ours because I go from less to more and already entering the third round, I was better. I knew I was going to catch it. I know I could have given more in the victory, but we won and I’m happy. I want to thank Adrián Estrella for the opportunity to face him”.

 

Promoter Juan Orengo of Fresh Productions Boxing said that “Subriel showed that he is a boxer that has to be taken seriously. His punch made a Mexican warrior take off in the middle of the fight. We put strong tests on Subriel because we know that he has all the tools to win and for now, without getting hurt. His resume is very advanced and expect more interesting fights along the way. We will be announcing the next steps soon”.

 

Before the match, Matias already had strong victories by way of the knockout over world title challenger Daulis Prescott of Colombia, former Olympian Patrick Lopez, former rising prospect Jeffrey Fontánez of Caguas, Puerto Rico and Brazilian power puncher Joaquim Carneiro.
