Here is what the participants had to say Tuesday at the open to the public press conference from STAPLES Center in Star Plaza in Los Angeles:

 

LEO SANTA CRUZ

 

 

 

 

It was a really close fight the first time. Before the fight, I told him I would give him the rematch, just like I would have wanted if I lost. Now is the time and I think this fight is going to be even better than the first fight. Mares will be better with Robert Garcia. He has many champions and I’ve seen the improvement. That’s great motivation for me.

 

 

 

 

I know he’s going to seek revenge, but I’m not going to let that happen. My dad is a smart man too and he always knows how to send me to the ring with the right style.

 

 

 

 

When two Mexicans get in there, you know it’s going to be a war. I hope everyone comes out June 9 because it’s going to be a fight to remember.

 

 

 

 

“Setiap kali saya masuk ke dalam ring, I do it for the fans. If it weren’t for them, Saya tidak akan berada di sini. I always want the fans to go home happy. I want to give the fans a great show onJune 9 just like in the first fight.

 

 

 

 

I think that Abner is going to be a little smarter than the first fight. He said in the first fight he didn’t train for the right fight. I know Robert Garcia will have him bring a smarter fight. We’ll be able to adjust and do what we have to do to win this one.

 

 

 

 

I have to make some little changes. There will be adjustments. We have to be prepared to box. I’ll listen to what my dad tells me to do. We’ll know early and take it from there. I know how to fight different styles, but brawling is what the fans love. I’m going to do that while still being smart in the ring.

 

 

 

 

This fight is dedicated to my dad as he battles cancer. The only way I can pay him back or try to lift his spirits is to train hard in the gym and give him this win. If he sees me not giving up, I think it will give him the courage to keep fighting his battle.

 

 

 

 

It was hard after the loss to Carl Frampton. I got a lot of fan support that inspired me to get back to training and win my title in the rematch. My plan was to retire undefeated, but at the end of the day, the loss means nothing. As long as I give the fans great fights, that’s all that matters.

 

Abner MARES

 

 

 

 

This is going to be another great one. Leo Santa Cruz is a great person and a humble guy. You have to be the bad guy against Leo. I could talk about what I’m going to do in the ring, but my fists and my brain will do the work for me.

 

 

 

 

“Setelah kita mendapatkan di atas ring, you already know what it’s going to be. It was war from the first bell last time. Nothing could stop either of us. We pleased the fans and gave them a great night. This is going to be the same thing. We’re two young fighters, fighting for pride.

 

 

 

 

The fight is here now and it’s official. I’m eager to get this win and get redemption. There were things I could have done that would have made the fight easier for myself. Once you get in there, I know we all have a plan, but once you hear the crowd, it can go out the window. I’m a warrior and that type of fighter who’s looking to get the win no matter what.

 

 

 

 

I’m not worried about the decision in the first fight. I think he landed the clearer punches but it was definitely a close fight. I was happy with my performance as far as pleasing the crowd. I’ve moved on to the rematch. I’m going to make adjustments and get the win.

 

 

 

 

I can talk about how I’ve changed, but you just need to look at my last two performances. People thought Jesus Cuellar was going to knock me out, but I was the one who dropped him That lets you know what type of team I have and what kind of Abner Mares you will see on June 9.

 

 

 

 

It feels good to be back fighting Leo for the second time at STAPLES Center. Every time I fight here in Los Angeles the people show me love. This is my hometown and STAPLES Center is my house.

 

 

 

 

I’ve always seen holes in Leo’s game that I can take advantage of. It’s a matter of going in there with the perfect game plan. I feel like there’s no way I can lose this fight. That makes it a more exciting fight. If he wants to box, I’m more natural than him doing that. We’ll see who’s done their homework and who can translate it to the ring.

 

JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Ayah Santa Cruz & Pelatih

 

 

 

 

 

My fight with cancer is the toughest one of all. But I’m fighting very hard and I’m not going anywhere. I’m right there by Leo’s side all the way for this fight.

 

 

 

 

For the first fight for Frampton, I had to try to prepare Leo from a distance. This fight is different because I’m right there every step of the way. I’m telling him what to do and guide him every day.

 

 

 

 

I think Leo is even more prepared this time than for the first fight with Mares. Leo is doing great mentally because he’s such a brave kid. I tell him not to worry about me and to keep working hard. He seems really motivated right now. He knows he’s doing well.

 

 

 

 

Right now we’re working on maintaining speed, being smart and not looking for too much of a clash of a fight. I know Leo can win with his speed and his brain. He’s learning and growing as a fighter. I think Mares has reached his peak. Robert Garcia adalah pelatih besar, but at a certain point, there’s nothing the fighter can do to surprise anyone.

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Ibu’ Pelatih

 

 

 

 

I was there live for the first fight and it was a great matchup. I knew then that Abner was much better than the fight he gave that night. He left the fans happy, which is all that matters to him. But with me in the corner, it should be a different fight.

 

 

 

 

I think the fans have seen what we’ve done with Abner for his last two fights and they know that it’s going to lead to a totally different outcome in this fight.

 

 

 

 

Abner tried to blitz Leo from the first bell and he knows that was a mistake. Leo is a tremendous fighter and you can never count Leo out. He takes a great punch and throws a lot. I think working with me for three years now will work out in Abner’s favor.

 

 

 

 

 

Leo always goes out and pleases the crowd. That’s what he loves to do. It’s my job to get Abner to fight smart and not focus on the crowd. He has to focus on what I’m telling him. I’ll do what I have to to make sure he is.

 

 

 

 

 

We’ve been training already for a little over a month. Sparring will start next week. Having Abner in the gym, we’ve taken his strength and conditioning to a level where he’s really doing the right work. He’s giving me good work each day so I know he’s focused.

 

RICHARD Schaefer, Ketua & CEO Ringstar Olahraga

 

 

 

 

This is one of the most anticipated fights of the sport. It’s a rematch we’ve all been waiting for between great warriors in Leo Santa Cruz and Abner Mares.

 

 

 

 

 

STAPLES Center has a rich tradition of bringing the best and biggest fights in Los Angeles here to this fantastic venue. STAPLES Center always seems to bring out the best in fighters as they fight under the brightest lights.

 

 

 

 

 

Week after week we are witnessing great battles and great matchups on SHOWTIME. Every week is another ‘Fight of the Year’. They are pushing the best to fight the best and that is what we are going to see with these two great fighters on June 9 in Los Angles.

 

 

 

 

 

We all witnessed the great first fight. Lebih 2,000 punches were thrown between these two fighters. It’s impossible when you have Leo and Abner in the ring to see a boring fight. We are going to have the pleasure of seeing these two guys going again. Sekali lagi, it’s a 50-50 pertarungan. We don’t know who’s going to win, but we do know it will be all action here at STAPLES Center.

 

 

 

 

 

Abner is a tremendous fighter inside of the ring and one of the most decorated fighters in recent history to come out of Mexico, but he’s equally impressive outside of the ring. He has a fantastic family and is truly one of the good guys in the sport of boxing.

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve known Leo and his family for a long time and have been involved in many of his fights. He is truly, just like Abner, a family man who just so happens to be one of the best fighters in the world. He’s certainly one of the most exciting fighters in the world and it’s my pleasure to be able to watch him fight again on June 9.

 

TOM BROWN, Presiden TGB Promosi

 

 

 

 

This is going to be an incredible night. Los Angeles has always been a great fight town going back more than a hundred years. Any time you put two Mexican warriors together like this, you can’t help but get another great fight night in Los Angeles.

 

 

 

 

In the first fight, Santa Cruz won an incredibly hard fought decision over Mares. From the opening bell they blasted away at each other, the crowd went wild and there was an all-out brawl underway for 12 grueling rounds.

 

 

 

 

 

The last fight with this kind of significance in Los Angeles was when Bobby Chacon stopped Danny ‘Little RedLopez in a now legendary featherweight fight in 1974. They fought for the mythical city championship on that night. While there are world titles on the line in this fight, I also know that these fighters have a lot of pride in Los Angeles and they’ll be fighting for the championship of this city on June 9.

Kelas Welter Super Berukuran Super, Sebastian Fundora, Santai dan Percaya Diri Akan Beraksi Jumat Ini Melawan Artis KO Tak Terkalahkan Veshawn Owens

 

Dibutuhkan orang besar untuk pergi ke kampung halaman petarung tak terkalahkan lainnya dan menjatuhkannya, tapi sebagai kelas welter super terbesar dalam sejarah tinju, Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora lebih dari sekadar untuk tugas itu.

 

 

 

 

Fundora setinggi 6 kaki (8-0, 4 Biaya) akan menghadapi artis KO yang berbasis di Minnesota Veshawn Owens (9-0, 9 Biaya) Jumat ini, Bulan April 13, dalam pertarungan delapan ronde di Armory di Minneapolis, Minnesota. Keduanya akan bertemu di kartu bawah dari Premier Boxing Champions di FOX & Acara FOX Deportes menampilkan kelas welter kampung halaman Jamal James melawan Abel Ramos (9:00 p.m. DAN / 6:00 p.m. PT)

 

 

 

 

Dipersembahkan oleh Warriors Boxing dan TGB Promotions, Acara ini juga akan menampilkan veteran tangguh Edner Cherry bertarung melawan petarung ringan Dennis Galarza dalam pertarungan 10 ronde dan Austin Dulay dan Chris Colbert bentrok dalam pertandingan delapan ronde antara prospek kelas bulu super tak terkalahkan.. Juga muncul di kartu adalah prospek sensasional berusia 17 tahun seberat 154 pon, Joey Spencer (1-0, 1 KO), mantan No. 1 peringkat amatir dan juara nasional sembilan kali.

 

Tiket untuk acara live, yang mana, sedang dijual sekarang dan tersedia dengan mengunjungi www.ArmoryMN.com.

 

 

 

 

“Saya telah bertarung di halaman belakang orang lain dan saya juga telah mengalahkan petarung yang tidak terkalahkan, jadi saya sudah terbiasa dengan ini,” kata Fundora, kidal berusia 20 tahun yang percaya diri dari Coachella, California. “Saya tidak tahu banyak tentang Owens, tapi rasanya luar biasa bisa melawan lawan yang lebih tangguh. Orang-orang sekarang dapat melihat kemampuan penuh saya, alih-alih mengalahkan orang di babak pertama dan itu tidak terlalu berarti.”

 

 

 

 

Dengan jangkauan dan ketinggian kelas berat, Fundora sangat besar untuk pejuang 154-lb… hadiah alami yang dia kerjakan di gym secara maksimal.

 

 

 

 

“Kami berlatih keras dan bekerja keras untuk jarak dan lebih banyak tenaga dan kekuatan untuk laga ini. Saya bukan hanya yang terbesar, Saya juga lebih kuat dari siapa pun. Kami mulai berlatih untuk ini pada bulan Januari. Setelah pertarungan terakhir saya, di Argentina, Saya mengambil cuti seminggu dan kemudian mulai mengerjakan pengkondisian di Big Bear. Kamp yang luar biasa.”

 

 

 

 

Promotor Fundora, Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing, mengatakan “The Towering Inferno” lebih dari a “petarung gimmick.”

 

 

 

 

“Dia nyata,” kata Lewkowicz. “Dia sudah mengalahkan beberapa petarung hebat. Bagaimana dia menempatkan semua ukuran dan kekuatan itu 154 lbs., saya tidak tahu, tetapi Fundora terlalu besar untuk siapa pun dengan berat badan ini. Anda harus memahami dia dan itu terlalu jauh untuk dilakukan karena dia menghukum Anda untuk setiap inci yang Anda coba ambil.”

 

 

 

 

“Saya sangat senang dengan perkembangannya,” lanjut Fundora. “Kemenangan dalam laga ini akan menjadi batu loncatan yang baik untuk berjuang merebut sabuk regional selanjutnya. Saya akan memiliki banyak peluang setelah saya menang.”

“Pertunjukan ini adalah contoh sempurna dari apa yang dimaksud dengan Premier Boxing Champions di FS1 dan FOX Deportes – petinju di berbagai tahap karir mereka, masing-masing dengan sesuatu untuk dibuktikan dalam semua pertandingan aksi,” kata Tim Smith, Wakil Presiden Komunikasi untuk Haymon Boxing. “Taruhannya meningkat untuk Jamal James karena dia berjuang di depan penonton kampung halamannya dan Anda mendapatkan gelar campuran di 147 pound dan Abel Ramos ingin merusak semua itu.

 

 

 

“Veteran Edner Cherry, yang telah berselisih dengan Paulie Malignaggi dan Timothy Bradley, dan Dennis Galarza sama-sama berjuang untuk memperebutkan gelar. Dan sangat jarang prospek tak terkalahkan seperti Austin Dulay dan Chris Colbert bentrok segera dalam karier mereka. Semuanya menjanjikan malam tinju yang mengasyikkan di malam saat kalender olahraga sedang sepi.”

Galarza (16-2, 9 Biaya), petinju amatir yang luar biasa, sedang meningkatkan persaingan dengan pertarungan ini melawan Cherry yang lebih berpengalaman. Galarza yang berusia 25 tahun, yang dari Brooklyn tetapi berlatih di Orlando, telah memenangkan tiga pertarungan beruntun sejak kalah dalam split decision dari Cesar Alan Valenzuela pada September. 16, 2016.

Untuk “Es” Kol & “Buah Hati” Joe Mesi Honored to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame

Hari Minggu, Bulan April 29, Makan malam Induksi

Chocolate anak, James J. Corbett, Jack McAuliffe, Sam Taub, Bob & Murray Goodman head new class

NEW YORK (Bulan April 9, 2018) – Mantan juara kelas penjelajah dunia Untuk “Es” Kol dan tak terkalahkan, Tidak.; 1 pesaing kelas berat “Buah Hati” Joe Mesi sangat terhormat dan bersyukur bisa dilantik, bersama 21 orang lain di Kelas 2018, menjadi Hall of Fame Tinju Negara Bagian New York (NYSBHOF).

 

 

 

Makan malam NYSBHOF induksi tahunan ketujuh akan digelar Sunday afternoon (12:30-5:30 p.m. DAN), Bulan April 29, sekali lagi di Russo's On The Bay di Howard Beach, New York.

 

 

Kol (35-16-3, 16 Biaya), yang berasal dari Rockland County, berjuang profesional antara 1989 dan 2011, memenangkannya yang pertama 15 dan 27 dari awalnya 28 perkelahian pro. Dia merebut Federasi Tinju Internasional (IBF) Kejuaraan Dunia Cruiserweight di 1992, ketika dia memenangkan keputusan bulat 12 ronde atas James Warring (14-1). Cole berhasil mempertahankan empat gelar juara dunia sebelum naik ke kelas berat.

 

 

 

 

 

“Saya tahu suatu hari saya akan mendapatkannya dan saya merasa terhormat dilantik ke Hall of Fame Tinju Negara Bagian New York, terutama dengan kelas ini karena saya tahu beberapa pejuang lain masuk seperti Lou Del Valle dan Terrance Alli.” Kata Cole. “Saya dikenal sebagai orang yang menyenangkan, pejuang yang mengasyikkan, dan orang-orang yang menonton saya selalu tahu saya akan bertarung dengan baik dengan pertukaran yang baik. Aku bertarung dalam bayang-bayang (Mikropon) Tyson dan Roy (Jones. Jr.).

 

 

 

“Saya bertempur di Angkatan Darat dengan Ray Mercer, menyengat Evander Holyfield saat berdebat. Pertarungan terbaikku, meskipun, paling menyakitiku. Saya sangat tajam melawan petarung dari Kronk Gym, Vincent Boulware, dalam pertahanan gelar dunia ketiga saya tahun itu (1993). Boulware telah memenangkan enam dari tujuh pertarungan terakhirnya dengan empat KO dan saya menjadi nama yang layak, Jika saya mengalahkannya, Saya seharusnya melawan Tommy Hearns atau Iran Barkley, yang keduanya naik ke kelas penjelajah. Saya memiliki pertarungan terbaik dalam karir saya, tapi saya tidak bisa mendapatkan juara dunia kelas penjelajah lain untuk melawan saya. Saya hanya memiliki empat pertarungan dalam tiga tahun ke depan. Saya naik ke kelas berat karena orang yang sama dengan yang saya kalahkan ketika mereka adalah penantang wajib saya (Uriah Grant & Nate Miller) bekerja dengan cara mereka kembali ke posisi wajib.”

 

 

 

Cole dibesarkan di Atlantic City, dimana dia bertarung 18 kali, dan dia mengenal pemilik kasino, Donald Trump. “Kami nongkrong,” Cole ingat. “Trump mengundang saya ke beberapa pesta pribadinya. Saya tidak pernah berpikir dia akan menjadi presiden!”.

 

 

 

Sayasaya (36-0, 29 Biaya) sangat populer di Buffalo, ia dianggap sebagai waralaba olahraga ketiga di kota New York bagian utara (Tagihan dan Sabre). Seorang amatir Amerika papan atas, “Baby Joe” bertarung secara profesional antara 1997 dan 2007, memeras 36 kemenangan tanpa kekalahan, Namun dia tidak pernah meraih gelar juara dunia karena masalah medis. Peringkat setinggi No. 1 oleh Dewan Tinju Dunia (WBC) Mesi diskors oleh Komisi Nevada, setelah ia mengalahkan mantan juara dunia Vassily Jirov dengan keputusan bulat 10 ronde, karena cedera kepala (pendarahan otak).

 

 

 

Mesi hampir masuk daftar hitam dalam tinju, kehilangan dua tahun penuh di atas ring, sementara dia menempuh tindakan hukum untuk mendapatkan lisensi ulang, yang akhirnya dia lakukan tetapi hanya dengan beberapa komisi. Joe bertarung tujuh kali setelah lisensi ulang, tapi sayangnya dia terbatas dalam hal tempat dia bisa bertarung, dan dia tidak pernah mendapatkan kembali status luhur yang pernah dia miliki. Selain Jirov, Mesi mengalahkan tokoh terkenal seperti Monte Barrett, DeVarryl Williamson dan Jorge Luis Gonzalez.

 

 

 

“Ini adalah waktu yang tepat bagi saya,” Mesi berkomentar tentang pelantikannya yang akan datang. “Saya merasa tersanjung dan terhormat bisa masuk ke Hall of Fame yang sama dengan nama-nama hebat yang sudah ada di sana. Saya sedang menyerap semuanya sekarang.

 

 

 

“Saya agak terhapus dari tinju, tetapi hanya bisnis akhir. Saya masih penggemar berat tinju dan mengikuti olahraga ini. Hari Ini, Saya menikah dengan tiga anak dan menjual peralatan medis untuk mencari nafkah. Tinju masih menjadi kegemaran saya, cintaku, dan sejak saya mendapat telepon (bahwa dia akan masuk NYSBHOF), Saya telah memikirkan semua kenangan. Saya ingin melakukan lebih banyak pengumuman TV dalam tinju dan, mungkin suatu hari nanti, mulai mempromosikan. Saya sangat menantikan upacara pelantikan Hall of Fame Tinju Negara Bagian New York.”

LAS VEGAS (Bulan April 7, 2018) – Jarrett Hurd unified the 154-pound division with a 12-round split-decision victory over Erislandy Lara in an all-action fight Saturday on SHOWTIME before a sold-out crowd of 2,579 at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

 

 

 

 

Hurd (22-0, 15 Biaya), who entered as IBF Champion, dethroned WBA Champion in just the seventh unification in division history. The difference in the Fight of the Year candidate was a short left hook that floored Lara in the final minute of the fight. Had the 27-year-old Hurd not scored the knockdown, the fight would have been ruled a majority draw.

 

 

 

 

“It was a tough one, but I went out there and did exactly what I said I was going to do – fight all 12 rounds and get the victory,"Kata Hurd. “I didn’t feel like that (I needed the knockdown). I feel like I was in control the whole fight, applying the pressure.

 

 

 

 

“I don’t think it had anything to do with age. I think it was me and the game plan we had to apply the pressure.”

 

 

 

 

Following the thrilling bout, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray asked Hurd if he’d like to face WBC 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo, who was ringside, to further unify the division.

 

 

 

 

“’Swift’ isn’t ducking anyone,” Hurd responded. “I’m No. 1 saat ini. We’re calling the shots.”

 

 

 

 

Hurd applied relentless pressure from the opening round, pressing forward against the crafty southpaw. He pounded the body, yet often neglected defense and ate punishing counter shots for 11 putaran. But the difference for Lara (25-3-2, 14 Biaya), who was making the seventh defense of his title, was the brutal 12th bulat. With blood seeping from a swollen right eye, Hurd connected on a short left hook that floored Lara for the first time in nearly five years.

 

 

 

 

“Besides the last round, I thought I was winning this fight easily,” Lara said. “That’s not to decide the fight. Aku memenangkan pertarungan. One punch in a fight doesn’t determine the fight.

 

 

 

 

“Itu adalah pertarungan besar untuk para penggemar. I stood there, fought and it was fun. I thought I clearly won the fight. Once again a decision goes against me, but h​ey we just have to do the rematch.

 

 

 

 

Entering the fight, Charlo was the consensus No. 1 fighter at 154-pounds. He stated his case for a chance to unify against Hurd.

 

 

 

 

“I’m down. Ayo pergi. We want that work,” Charlo told SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING host Brian Custer. “I feel Hurd only took the fight with Lara because he realized the harder fight is with Jermell Charlo.

 

 

 

 

“We’ve been there before with Lara. I know what he possesses. Hurd has to get his defense together because he cannot get hit like that by me. Lara doesn’t move like he used to. If he moves like he used to he wins that fight.”

 

James DeGale earned back the IBF Super Middleweight World Championship with a unanimous decision in a rematch with Caleb Truax, taking back the title he lost last December in the near-universal upset of the year.

 

 

 

 

The 12-round championship affair was scored 117-110 dan 114-113 dua kali. DeGale, who was deducted a point in the 10th for pushing, won the championship rounds – 11 dan 12 – on all three judges’ scorecards to win the decision.

 

 

 

 

“Two-time world champion. Rasanya besar,"Kata DeGale. “But full credit to Caleb – he shows he can mix it with the top fighters.

 

 

 

 

“I’m just happy that I’m a two time world champion and I got my IBF world title back. Saya kembali, Team Chunky, we’re back. Two-and-a-half years I had it and I lost it to Caleb. He embarrassed me, but we’re back.”

 

 

 

 

DeGale (24-2-1, 14 Biaya) overcame a massive cut from an accidental head butt in the third, which was mistakenly ruled as the result of a punch from referee Robert Byrd.

 

 

 

 

“I couldn’t see from my right eye, DeGale said. “I like Robert Byrd (wasit), but today he was a bit wrong. I couldn’t see. But I’m just glad I got through it. I showed some heart. Dalam pertarungan terakhir saya, I was like a weak little kid.”

 

 

 

 

DeGale connected on 37 percent of his power shots compared to 28 percent for Truax. He now returns to London a world champion with some massive potential fights in the future.

 

 

 

 

“I want to be busy,"Kata DeGale. “I have a couple years left in this sport.”

 

 

 

 

Truax (29-4-2, 18 Biaya), who fought for the first time as a world champion, was disappointed and advocated for a rematch after the scores were announced.

 

 

 

 

“I thought I did enough to win the fight, but I also thought I was pretty flat and didn’t get my shots off like I wanted,” Truax said. “I was just a little bit flat. I felt really good coming in but I just couldn’t get my shots off like the last fight. Dia tidak pernah menyakiti saya, tapi itu adalah apa itu.

 

 

 

 

“I gave him a rematch straight away so why not do it again.”

 

 

 

 

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader, Julian Williams scored a career-best win, defeating Nathaniel Gallimore via majority decision in an IBF Junior Middleweight World Title eliminator. Williams, who edge Gallimore 116-112, 117-110, 114-114, is now in position to challenge Jarrett Hurd.

 

 

 

 

Williams (25-1-1, 15 Biaya) set the pace with a strong left jab in the opening rounds of the fight, keeping Gallimore at bay and the action on the outside. That changed around the fifth round as Williams abandoned the jab and the fight moved to the inside. Williams had his best round in the 11th, connecting on a massive left hand that set up a barrage of combos that nearly had Gallimore out on his feet. Gallimore (20-2-1, 17 Biaya) survived the round, and Williams wasn’t able the finish him in the 12th, but it was clear Williams deserved the decision.

 

 

 

 

“I wasn’t surprised a judge had a draw,” Williams said. “Sometimes when you’re fighting real close like that, it is hard for judges to score. I knew I won. Once I heard 116-112 dan 117-111, I knew I won because I knew he didn’t win eight rounds.

 

 

 

 

He is a strong fighter, but I knew he was going to do what he did. Start strong early, but I knew he wasn’t strong after six rounds.

 

 

 

 

The hits to the body was all in the game plan. You have to go to the body in a 12 round fight.”

 

 

 

 

Williams connected on 50 percent of his power shots and landed 37 persen dari total tembakan.

 

 

 

 

 

“I didn’t really think I won the fight,” Gallimore admitted. “I just let too many early rounds go. I just gave him too many rounds. I had him hurt a couple of times, but he was tough. I should have done more combinations. I will look at the fight and review it, and will make adjustments.”

 

 

 

 

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

Lenin Castillo grabs WBO Gold in Ponce, Puerto Rico

Ponce, Puerto Rico – Former Dominican Olympian Lenin Castillo (18-1-1, 13 KO) won the WBO/NABO vacant light heavyweight title in impressive fashion. Castillo defeated AaronHomicide” Mitchell (27-3-1, 21 KO) of Florida by way of technical knockout in the 10th and final round.

 

 

 

 

As a result of the victory, Castillo will now be ranked among the best 175 pound fighters in the WBO.

 

 

 

 

The fight was televised by DIRECTV PR as part of a card promoted by Miguel Cotto Promotions at the Complejo Ferial, Ponce, PR.

 

 

 

 

I am very grateful to my manager Raúl Pastrana from Spartan Boxing Club, Miguel Cotto Promotions and the WBO for making this fight possible with an important title at stake that will place me among the best fighters of my weight,” Kata Castillo, “This victory is for my Dominican people, my dad, my mom and also for the Puerto Ricans who made me feel at home since I arrived on the island for the fight”.

 

 

 

 

I prepared myself to the max and these are the results of working hard in the gym. Since I landed a good shot at Mitchell, he decided to survive the whole fight and did not let me use everything I had saved for him. But the important thing was that we won all the rounds without losing concentration”, expressed Castillo, who was training in Florida under the supervision of Maury Ramos of KMJ with the assistance of Chiro Pérez from 5th St Gym.
