PER IL RILASCIO IMMEDIATO

Lucian Bute

MONTRÉAL (Dicembre 12, 2016) Gruppo Yvon Michel (PALESTRA) e Gestev sono molto felici di confermare il Scontro fra titani mega-evento come ex Federazione Internazionale di Boxe (IBF) super campione del mondo dei pesi medi Lucian Bute (32-3-1, 25 KO) affronterà il World Boxing Council (WBC) Campione d'argento dei pesi massimi leggeri Eleider “Tempesta” Alvarez (20-0, 10 KO), Venerdì, Febbraio 24, in un incontro di 12 round dei pesi massimi leggeri al Vidéotron Center di Québec City.
Questo evento è una presentazione di Vidéotron, in associazione con Bet-O-Play.

Eleider Alvarez
Alvarez metterà la sua posizione di sfidante obbligatoria WBC al campione Adone“Superuomo” Stevenson (28-1, 23 KO) in pericolo con una data di fine aprile per questa lotta per il titolo mondiale già prenotata.
Bute ha anche fissato il suo obiettivo di sfidare Stevenson. Il mancino veterano prevede di dimostrare chiaramente che si merita un altro colpo di titolo mondiale, assumendo il n. 1 conternder nell'imbattuto Alvarez. Qualunque sia il risultato finale, il vincitore sarà lo sfidante più popolare e legittimo per Stevenson, crescente interesse e notorietà per una resa dei conti del campionato del mondo totalmente quebecchese.
Tutti gli ingredienti vengono raccolti per aumentare l'interesse popolare in questa lotta, che si rivelerà uno dei più significativi nella storia del Quebec.
È un confronto locale tra due atleti che hanno scelto il Quebec come loro patria adottiva, integrarsi completamente nella cultura locale e imparare il francese, così come dove hanno combattuto la stragrande maggioranza dei loro periodi. Il risultato di questo grande scontro avrà anche enormi ripercussioni a livello internazionale nella divisione dei pesi massimi leggeri.
In un angolo c'è l'ex campione del mondo Bute, che ha consegnato molte performance ispiratrici durante il suo 13 combattimenti del campionato del mondo (10-2-1, 8 KO) diventare una grande star e una celebrità ammirata in Quebec.
L'altro angolo trova Alvarez imbattuto, un combattente di livello mondiale negli ultimi tre anni che ha offerto le sue esibizioni più brillanti all'estero, anche se per lo più all'ombra di altre grandi star del Quebec. L'ex olimpionico colombiano vuole stabilire il suo vero valore dopo essersi preparato per Stevenson combattendo gli avversari per più dell'anno scorso. Guadagnerà la sua borsa più alta, che è simile a quello che avrebbe ricevuto per combattere prima Stevenson.
“Sono i fan del Quebec nella loro interezza che saranno per primi deliziati da questa mega lotta e sono convinto che non ci saranno perdenti,” Presidente GYM Yvon Michel suddetto. “Anche se è difficile prevedere l'esito di questo confronto, molto probabilmente questa lotta sarà così interessante e vicina, alla fine i due potrebbero arrivare, uno dopo l'altro, una lotta per il campionato del mondo contro il potente campione mancino di Montreal, Adonis Stevenson.”
“Per noi era importante tenere questa battaglia al Centro Vidéotron,” aggiunto Spettacoli del vicepresidente & Contenuto creativo del Québecor, Michel granger. “L'ultima volta (la lotta Stevenson-Williams) è stato un successo e sarà lo stesso su Febbraio 24.”

“Gli ultimi sei mesi sono stati duri per me,” Bute ha spiegato. “Dopo che la situazione a Washington è stata risolta, Ero felice di sedermi finalmente e discutere del mio prossimo incontro. Ho accettato non appena mi è stato offerto il combattimento. Stiamo parlando di un ragazzo imbattuto numero classificato 1 dal WBC. È una vera sfida. Do il cappello ad Alvarez per aver messo in pericolo la sua posizione.
“Mi aspettavo il vincitore della lotta per il titolo dell'unificazione tra James Dégale e Badou Jack, ma non avevo garanzie e non potevo permettermi di aspettare. Il mio obiettivo è lottare ancora per un mondiale, se è a 168 o 175 libbre, e non volevo solo prendere una battaglia preparatoria senza senso.
“Dopo aver valutato tutte le opzioni, siamo giunti alla conclusione che dovevamo prendere questa battaglia,” Alvarez’ capo allenatore Marc Ramsey ha osservato. “Naturalmente, ci sono rischi … ma ne vale la pena. Eleider ha atteso da tempo l'opportunità di boxare contro qualcuno riconosciuto in Quebec, e le persone non hanno ancora visto il suo pieno potenziale. Era tutto un sorriso quando ha ricevuto l'offerta.”.
“Quando Marc mi ha chiamato nel suo ufficio,” Alvarez ha commentato, “Mi chiedevo cosa stesse succedendo. In genere, quando mi chiama nel suo ufficio, non è una buona notizia. Mi ha chiesto di sedermi e se volevo affrontare Bute. Ho sorriso e ho detto, di si. È il pugile più popolare del Quebec, quindi la mia motivazione sarà diversa. Lo sto facendo per me e la mia famiglia. Voglio essere campione del mondo e ora sta attraversando Lucian. Ho cercato a lungo un grande combattimento come questo e per la prima volta sarò l'headliner.”

Sensational Welterweight War Headlines Special Sunday Edition of Detroit Brawl on January 22, at Masonic Temple in Detroit

Known for his powerful fists and granite chin, Lanardo Tyner is a former USBO and USNBC Welterweight Champion and one of boxing’s most dangerous gate keepers. Tyner has never been stopped in his career, despite facing a long list of future champions and top contenders including Canelo Alvarez, Lamont Peterson, Jessie Vargas, and Antonio DeMarcoand given them all tough fights. Tyner holds victories over former world champion Vivian Harris and a then 17-0-1 Charles Hatley. He also stopped then 21-3-1 Tyrese Hendrix and fought to a draw with top contender Adrian Granados.
I know he’s a good fighter and a cool guy. I sparred him one time. He’s strong and aggressive. Exactly what I like,” said Tyner. “I’m going to try and make it a war. Hopefully he’s down for it. We both like to fight like thatwhoever backs up, that’s who is going to lose. I doubt I will lose.
Tyner says he can’t wait to see all his fans at the fight and looks forward to seeing where he stands in the division by testing himself against another undefeated would-be contender.
I love to fight in Detroit. I really don’t fight here too often now, so I’m looking forward to fighting in front of all my people and I know he’s bringing a lot of people too, so it’s going to be a great fight.

A skilled counter puncher with above average power, Tucker has, finora, shown strong ring generalship and a veteran’s confidence, in-ring. Passing the test against Tyner will be a strong indicator he belongs in the discussion of world-class up-and-coming welterweights.
I know he never gets knocked out and he’s a big puncher, but I am too,” said Tucker. “I was impressed with him. He hit me with a good body shot when we sparred. I’m going to mix it up with him. It’ll be explosive. I love fighting in Detroit because it’s 45 minutes from my hometown. I will have more people there this time than came to my last one and I had over 50 at the last one.

This will be a war,” lui ha detto. “Neither of these guys ever back up and they can both hit very hard. It’s going to be a great test for Wesley Tucker because only the very best can beat Lanardo Tyner. Fights like this are what I pictured when I started the Detroit Brawl series. This is a TV-worthy fight that either fighter could win. I’m very proud to be part of this great event.

LOS ANGELES (Dicembre. 10, 2016) - Abner Mares (30-2-1, 15 KO) scored an impressive, upset 12-round split decision over defending champion Gesù Cuellar (28-2, 21 KO) to capture the WBA Featherweight World Championship and become a four-time boxing titlist Sabato in the main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader.

 

In the co-feature from Galen Center on the campus of USC in Los Angeles, Jermall Charlo (25-0, 19 KO) retained his IBF Junior Middleweight World title with an emphatic fifth-round knockout over previously unbeaten, top-ranked Julian "J-Rock" Williams (22-1-1, 14 KO). (HIGHLIGHTS VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/2hqXDr8)

 

Earlier in the day on SHOWTIME, unbeaten IBF Heavyweight World Champion Anthony Joshua (18-0, 18 KO) eliminato Eric Molina (25-4, 19 KO), di Weslaco, Texas, in the third round in Manchester, Inghilterra. (HIGHLIGHTS VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/2hqHTo8)

 

Madri, di Huntington Beach, Calif., by way of Guadalajara, Messico, was victorious by the scores of 117-110, 116-111 e 112-115. Judge Kermit Bayless was the lone descender to score the hard-fought match for the Argentine. Mares scored the bout’s lone knockdown in the 11th round. Cuellar, di Buenos Aires, had an 11-fight winning streak end. (HIGHLIGHTS VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/2hbJayp)

 

Madri, making his first start in 16 mesi and first with renowned trainer Robert Garcia, executed a technically sound game plan and was the more accurate puncher than Cuellar, who was under the tutelage of Hall of Famer Freddie Roach per la prima volta nella sua carriera.

 

“I feel so good, it’s been a long time. I’m champion, bambino,’’ said Mares, 31, a former WBC featherweight and super bantamweight world champion and IBF bantamweight world champion, who became Garcia’s 10th campione del mondo. “We had the perfect game plan.

 

“I never doubted myself. I felt it in my heart. When I fought Leone (Santa Cruz) I beat myself because I fought the wrong fight. I fought smart stasera. I thought it would be a unanimous decision, but at the end of the day I’m champion.’’

 

Cuellar is known as a devastating puncher, but he was unable to land his power shots or cut off the ring against Mares, who seemingly pocketed rounds with accuracy and a solid left hook. Mares floored Cuellar with a straight right in the opening minute of the 11th, sending Cuellar to the canvas for the third time of his career. The onslaught continued, with a resurgent Mares teeing off on Cuellar until he raised his hands following the final bell.

“They said he was a power puncher, they said he was going to knock me out, but I proved that I have some power, troppo,’’ said Mares, who dropped a majority 12-round decision to Santa Cruz in his last fight on Aug. 29, 2015. “I want Leo, Voglio (Carl) Frampton, I want anyone. Sono un campione. I’m not afraid of anyone.”

 

Cuellar stated his case for a rematch afterward.

 

“I thought the fight was pretty even until he threw me down, and that’s when he took control,"Ha detto Cuellar, who was making his third title defense. “He definitely had the boxing skills going today. I would have preferred a rough fight, but Mares had his skills today. Voglio una rivincita. I gave him the opportunity and now I think it’s fair that he gives it to me.”

 

In caso di co-main, Charlo dropped Williams three times, once in the second and twice in the fifth. Williams, who had not lost a round in 10 consecutive fights, went down for the first time in his career from a strong counter left-hand midway through the second round.

 

Williams, who established his counter right early, performed well for the next two rounds in the first title fight between undefeated 154-pound champions since Floyd Mayweather dismantled Canelo Alvarez in 2013.

 

But Charlo decked him again with a brutal right uppercut midway through the fifth round that sent Williams collapsing face-forward onto the canvas. Williams got up, but he was clearly in trouble. Charlo floored him seconds layer with a left hook, forcing referee Wayne Hedgepath to instantly halt the contest at 2:06.

 

Charlo was ahead with scores of 38-37 on the three scorecards entering the fifth round in a highly skilled matchup between two fighters in their prime.

 

Afterward a fracas broke out in the ring between the fighters and their cornermen after Charlo wouldn’t acknowledge Williams’ congratulatory hand shake. Williams immediately stormed from the ring. The fans booed Charlo loudly throughout his post-fight interview with SHOWTIME reporter Jim Gray.

 

“I did what I was supposed to do, Sono molto contento della mia prestazione, I listened to my trainer,’’ said Charlo, the identical twin brother of WBC 154-pound titlist Jermell Charlo. “I trained hard for this fight, I stayed in the gym the whole time.

 

“No matter what, people have to respect my accomplishments. He just wasn’t on my level. I told everyone what I was going to do since the fight was announced. I knew I was going to win; he was badly hurt after the knockdown.

“I just want to tell Julian Williams, Mi dispiace. Leading up to this fight Julian talked, and I held it in. I did what I had to do to become the champion of the world and I deserve my respect. He disrespected me all the way up to the fight. I made the fight happen; I gave the fans what they wanted to see. I stayed at 154 libbre, although I do want to move up to 160, just to fight someone the world said I couldn’t beat.

 

“I said I don’t want your congratulations; I want your apology. I don’t care what they say, L'ho messo fuori combattimento. No matter what they say about me I’m going to continue to work hard. I did what my trainer told me to do, I stayed in there and bang the shot came home. I’m never disrespected this dude, never, until I knocked him out.

 

"Sì, I want to unify. I want to prove I’m the best junior middleweight in the world, none of them are on my level.

Williams offered no excuses. “I just got caught,’ he said. “I was fine after the second round and kept going. He just caught me. He wasn’t too big. He just caught me.

“I didn’t care about any of that [post-fight drama]. I just wanted to win.”

 

Charlo-Williams was the fourth 154-pound title fight on SHOWTIME in 2016.

In one off the fights streamed earlier Sabato on FACEBOOK LIVE, Sergey Lipinets (11-0, 9 KO) eliminato Lenny Zappavigna(35-3, 25 KO) to become the mandatory challenger for the IBF Junior Welterweight World Title.

 

After flooring Zappavigna midway through the fourth, Lipinets finished off the Australian with an overhand right in the eighth in a closely contested and bloody affair.

 

"Sì, this was my toughest fight, it’s bloody and rugged but no problem for me,’’ Lipinets said. “This was an eliminator and now I want my next fight to be for the world championship. Julius Indogo has the IBF title and now I’m the mandatory.

“I’m very happy with my performance. We’ve worked on adjusting during fights and that worked very well for me stasera. I was hoping for the knockout but my trainer said to keep working and the stoppage will come.”

“I left it all in the ring,’’ Zappavigna said. “I fought my heart out and I came here to give it my best. Even though I’m disappointed with the loss, I am at peace with the result because I know I couldn’t have done anything else.

“I wish Sergey all the best in his world title fight.

“I know my fans are behind me and I’m bringing pride back to Australia. I know I was in control of the fight, but my Australian ‘white line feverkicked in and I tried to take his head off.”

In the opening bout on Facebook Live, talented undefeated middleweight Erickson Lubin (17-0, 12 KO) knocked out previously once-beaten Juan Ubaldo Cabrera (23-2, 15 KO) a 2:09 del secondo turno.

 

“He was a little awkward in the first round,’’ Erickson said. “I set him up with my jab and I knew I hurt him in the second. That’s when I knew it was time for him to go.

 

I think that fight definitely proves that I’m in the discussion as one of the top up and comers in the sport, but I don’t feel any pressure. I’m back in the gym il Lunedi.

 

I want to be undisputed champion. I want all of the belts. Give me the Charlos, Julian Williams, nessuno di loro.

 

I’ll take whoever is in front of me next, but those names and put them in bold letters and you know I’ll be front and center for that Charlo-Williams fight.

 

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader and SHOWTIME INTERNATIONAL telecast will re-air on Monday, Dicembre. 12, 10 p.m. ET / PT su Showtime EXTREME. The fights were promoted by Ringstar Sports and TGB Promotions and sponsored by Corona.

Dopo la lotta, Matchroom Sport managing direction Eddie Hearn announced that Joshua will make the third defense of his title on Aprile 29 against long-reining heavyweight kingpin Wladimir Klitschko at London’s Wembley Stadium.

 

“Disaster avoided stasera,"Joshua ha detto. “He started off teeing off with some haymakers early on. There are not too many tactics he can do. It’s hard for him to come in and fight when you aren’t giving him any options. Someone who is boxing with you can give you options, but someone who is boxing on his back feet cannot.”

 

“This is the start of my story and there will be many more things to come when I step into this ring. I’m not one to talk and I’m not one to mess around, but if I did start talking I think people would find out what I’m all about. I’ve stayed consistent and I’ve stayed patient and I’m still undefeated.”

 

“We are moving into a huge arena (Wembley). He’s a very respectful man outside of the ring, and he’s very competitive in the ring. This is the step up people have wanted. Klitschko wants his belts back and may the best man win.”

 

Said Klitschko: “He is the best man in the heavyweight division and his record speaks for itself. This is the fight that the fans want and that is why this fight will happen.”

 

“Do you want to see a big fight? Do you want to see a fight where two Olympic champs are involved? Do you want to see the fight between A.J. and W.K.? You got it.”

LAS VEGAS (Dicembre 8, 2016) – The 10-round main event Dicembre 17 of the final 2016 puntata del popolare “Knockout Night at the D” serie, featuring undefeated Oscar Cantù e Aston Palcite, is a classic match-up of styles between a boxer and puncher.
“Knockout Night at the D” will air live (7 p.m. PT / 10 p.m. E) su CBS Sports Network dall'interno del Downtown Las Vegas Events Center struttura interna, situato nel cuore del quartiere dei casinò del centro di Las Vegas, one block away from the world-famous Fremont Street (200 S. 3rd St.), e FloBoxing.tv trasmetterà in streaming il dicembre. 17th undercard in tutto il mondo, a partire da 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. E), oltre a tre attacchi TV della scheda principale – escluso il Nord America – con inizio alle 7 p.m. PT / 10 p.m. E).
Il “Knockout Night at the D” serie, presentato da D Las Vegase il centro eventi del centro di Las Vegas, è promosso da Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Promozioni di boxe.
Jim “J.R.” Ross e Joey Varner will call all the action live from ringside, mentre Jeff Huston will be the ring announcer and fight-week master of ceremonies.
Cantu vs. Palicte will be contested for two belts as Cantu defends his North American Boxing Federation (NABF) super flyweight championship, in addition to the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) Inter-Continental super flyweight title.
No nominale. 4 dal World Boxing Council (WBC) as a flyweight, the 25-year-old Cantu (14-0, 1 KO) will face the toughest test of his 4+-years professional career in the heavy-handed Palcite, but he’s excited to be headlining this nationally televised show from Las Vegas.
I feel honored to be headlining a card in Las Vegas,” the Texan said. “The opportunity is what every boxer wants because Vegas is the biggest boxing hum in the United States and it has produced great champions in the past. I want to thank Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions for this opportunity.
A victory can help me open doors to the world title and allow me the show everybody what I stand for, which is being God’s humble champion. The outcome of this fight will come down to who wants to win more. I’m sure that adjustments will need to be made throughout the fight. In entrambi i casi, I am well prepared to get this victory.
Palicte (21-2, 18 KO) is a dangerous Filipino fighter who is world rated at No. 11 dalla Federazione Internazionale di Boxe (IBF) e No. 15 dalla WBO. Now training in Los Angeles, Palicte is looking forward to making his American debut Dicembre. 17.
“Sono davvero entusiasta,” he remarked. “I’ve been training o hard, pushing myself to the limit, because I also want to excel as much as the other Filipino fighters. I am grateful for this opportunity to fight in the main event. Knowing he is undefeated, this is going to be an exciting, challenging fight.
I’ve always dreamed of fighting for the world title and I’m taking things one step at a time. Through my promoter, RJJ, it was mentioned that there’s a big possibility for a world title challenge in 2017 if I win this fight. I’ve fought some quality fighters and I think I can do what I want in the ring, though I won’t say it’s going to be easy to control the fight.
Styles made fights and a classic match-up between a consummate boxer (Cantu) and powerful puncher (Palicte) guarantees an intriguing fight that should be highly entertaining and incredibly competitive. Both fighters also respect each other.
Palicte brings an impressive record and a lot of experience,” Cantu noted. “The road to a world title is a tough one, which means no easy opponents. I am really excited about this challenge. This is a classic fight because of our styles and I am sure we won’t let the viewing public down. I am ready to become the next great American champion in this weight class.
Cantu is a smart boxer,” Palicte added. “I’d compare him to Ismael Garnica, who I fought in our Showdown at Sands in Macau. (Palicte won by way of a seventh-round TKO.) Lui (Cantu) is kind of a runner, troppo, always moving around the ring, but we can never tell one’s ability until we’ve fought.
This is going to be an exciting fight. I’m really looking forward to getting a hold of those belts. Cantu is also a good boxer but with my experience and power, I think I have much more advantages than him. I know he’s also doing his best training, e allora, it’s going to be a really good fight come December 17th.”
Unbeaten Chilean junior middleweight champion Angelo Baez (15-0-1, 11 KO) farà il suo U.S. debut against Jamaica-native Nathaniel Gallimore (15-1-1, 12 KO), fighting out of Evanston, Illinois, in the eight-round co-feature.
