МИГЕЛ FLORES
On fighting in his first main event on ESPN
I’m very thrilled to be fighting in my first main event on ESPN because I know many boxing fans from around the world will be tuning in. I feel I bring an exciting style to the ring that the fans will enjoy. It’s fights like this, on a major TV network like ESPN, that take your brand to another level. So the goal is to perform at my best ability and bring even more excitement to the featherweight division.
На последното си тренировъчен лагер…
Training camp has been very hard, but I know that hard work will pay off when it’s all said and done. I’ve had a lot of time to prepare for this fight so I’ll be at my best. My longtime trainer, Aaron Navarro, and my strength and conditioning coach, Edward Jackson, have been pushing me really hard. Together as a team, we will be ready to shine този петък.”
On his matchup with Ryan Kielczweski
Kielczweski is a very tough opponent. He’s a very good boxer with a tremendous amount of skill. He only has one loss, which was a split decision, Така че за мен, he could easily be an undefeated fighter. С това се каза, I know I have to be at my best.
On the landscape of the featherweight division
The featherweight division is loaded with great fighters. Carl Фрамптън, Лео Santa Cruz, Гари Ръсел, and all the other title holders are very skilled fighters. With each win, I’m inching closer to facing all of them.
On fighting on the East Coast for the first time in his career
All my fights have been in Texas with the exception of a couple. So traveling to the East Coast will be something new for me. I plan to get there a few days early to get acclimated to the climate. Kielczweski is from Massachusetts, which is not far from the venue, so I know I’ll be up against all his hometown fans. Не се притеснявам за това. I just want to put on a great show, win this fight and capture all his fans in the process.

Непобеждаван тежка категория Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller (17-0-1, 15 Нокаута), a consensus Top 15 тежка категория, will take on the experienced Fred Cat (18-5-1, 10 Нокаута), от Ню Орлиънс, The. в главното събитие на 10-кръг.

Още, undefeated welterweight knockout artist Бахтияр Eyubov (10-0, 10 Нокаута), на Brooklyn, N.Y.. by way of Kazakhstan, steps up when he faces veteran Карим Мейфийлд (19-3-1, 11 Нокаута), Сан Франциско, Халиф. в 10-кръг битка. В телевизията отварачка, неизследван Antonio Ниевес Кливланд, Ohio will square off against new opponent, Мексико Alejandro Santiago in a 10-round bantamweight bout for Nieves’ WBO NABO Title.

Nieves was initially set to fight world-ranked Николай Потапов (14-0-1, 6 Нокаута), of Potolsk, Русия, but he withdrew with an injury.

Tickets for the event presented by Salita Promotions and Greg Cohen Promotions are available at HTTP://www.rhinossoccer.с /и HTTP://www.etix.com

“These are the fights I need to get to the top,” Menard said. „Моят противник, Baha mamadjonov, е лесна работа. He has been in with some quality guys and I have to be able to beat guys like him to get to the top ones. I’m looking forward to getting the job done on 19 август. It’s blessing to be able to fight on SHOWTIME and this time is for the WBO NABO title,” Menard said.”

“I’m excited I’m fighting on ShoBox отново. It’s a great opportunity” Mamadjonov said. “Menard is no joke. He’s a credible opponent.

“I’m not going to rush on this fight. I’m not going to lie, I’m always looking for the knockout, but if it goes the distance I’d be ready.”

“I’m war-ready,” Nieves said. “I’m excited to finally showcase my skills on the big stage and let the boxing world know that I have graduated to contender. I feel many don’t see that I’m one of the best 118-pounders out there.

“I’m confident I have what it takes to win, and I’m a better boxer. Аз съм 100 percent ready for whatever type of fight my Santiago brings. I will box my way to my big shots.

"След тази битка, I’ll probably look for a path to a world title shot. I want to bring a title home, just like the Cleveland Cavaliers brought the NBA Championship home,"

I know I’m a replacement opponent, but I’m always ready,” Santiago said. “I’m always in training camp. I don’t take any breaks from the gym after I fight. I’m a true Mexican warrior. Always ready.

“I am looking to follow the heritage of great Mexican fighters from Tijuana and bring this win and title back home. I am coming to win. Get ready for war.“

Menard vs. Mamadjonov

The co-main event features promising Louisiana lightweight “Rock Hard Mighty” Mason Menard facing his toughest test to date in Bahodir “Baha” Mamadjonov of Houston, Texas by way of Uzbekistan for the WBO NABO Lightweight Title. Both fighters are making their second appearance onShoBox: Новото поколение.

Менар, an eight-year pro at the age of 27, is fighting outside of his native Louisiana for only the second time. He’s is ranked among the Top 15 fighters at 135 pounds in the WBA and WBO. In the most noteworthy victory of his career, he made his ShoBox debut at Turning Stone Casino & Resort last Април 15 delivering an impressive Knockout of the Year candidate over previously undefeated Dominican Eudy Бернардо with a vicious one-punch knockout. VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1NtEYjW

Menard floored Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round. Bernardo beat the count and finished the round, but he had no answer for Menard’s power. With less than one minute left in third, Menard connected with a huge right, knocking Bernardo out before he even hit the canvas.

Mamadjonov (19-2, 11 Нокаута), has been matched against very tough opposition throughout his career. His only blemishes were to opponents with a combined record of 46-0 (38 Нокаута) – Колумбийски Darleys Perez in Aug., 2012 and Ghana’s Ричард Коми in April of last year. Perez went on to become interim WBA Lightweight World Champion and recently lost a rematch against world champion Anthony Crolla. Commey is set to fight Robert Великден Jr. for the vacant IBF World Lightweight Title on Седем. 9.

This is Mamadjonov’s third start since losing to Commey and his secondShoBox вид. В своята ShoBox debut in April, 2013 в Лас Вегас, Nev., Mamadjonov scored an upset ninth-round stoppage (:51) against previously unbeaten Cuban prospect Angelo Santana. VIDEO:HTTP://s.sho.com/2aPfkwp

Nieves vs. Santiago

Also featured in the Aug. 19 quadrupleheader are WBO NABO Bantamweight Champion Antonio Nieves and his new foe, Alejandro “Peque” Santiago

Nieves, (16-0-1, 8 Нокаута), a prospect at 118 паунда, has stayed active with five fights in 2014, five in 2015, and is fighting for the third time this year. The 29-year-old is coming off his first 10-round performance, a unanimous decision over then once-beaten Oscar Mojica на Юни 18 във Вашингтон, Татко. A win against Santiago will put Nieves a step closer to his goal of challenging fellow Ohio-native WBA Super Bantamweight Champion Rau'shee Warren.

Santiago, (11-2-1, 3 Нокаута), Тихуана, Baja California, Мексико, is a three-year pro who seldom breaks training camp between fights. He has won three fights in a row since his last loss in November 2014 to fellow Mexican Hector Flores. В последния си двубой от Февруари. 27, Santiago won an eight-round unanimous decision over Mario Lara. This will be his United States debut and the first time he’s fought north of 116 паунда.

Steamrolling Through the Super Middleweight Division in Record Time, ‘Boxing ProdigyDavid Benavidez ‘Determined and Readyfor Whatever Comes Next

He was billed from the first day of his career as aboxing prodigy,” but not even David “Червено знаме” Benavidez himself could have predicted his meteoric rise through the boxing ranks.
Despite having had just 31 boxing matches in his entire life, любителски и професионални, 19-year-old Benavidez (16-0, 15 Нокаута), is already the undefeated WBA #10 super middleweight in the world and a sure lock on 2016 “Prospect of the Year.The young phenom from Phoenix has been nearly flawless tearing through his ever-escalating level of opponents (his last four had combined records of 62-7), while being labeled a potential superstar by world-famous trainer/commentator Teddy Atlas.
Last Friday night at the 2300 Arena в Южна Филаделфия, Benavidez wore down and stopped capable veteran Denis Douglin (20-5, 13 Нокаута) in the tenth and final round of their ESPN-televised main event.
It feels amazing to be in this position,” said Benavidez, “everything that has happened wasn’t expected, but we worked hard to get to this point and I feel like I just have to keep working hard, stay in the gym and stay determined and dedicated. I want to be ready for any opportunity that comes up.
Benavidez, who appears ready to reach a dream and smash the record for youngest super middleweight champion in history (Darrin Van Horn was 22), attributes his natural sense of space in the ring as a big reason for his success.
I feel like it’s a mix between distance and power in the ring. I know how to control it with the jab and there’s power behind my punches, so I’m are able to get dudes out of there.
To be honest I didn’t expect this to happen this soon,” said father/trainer Jose Benavidez. “It’s a dream come true for me to have my sons as two of the best in the world.David’s brother, Jose Jr., is the undefeated former interim WBA junior welterweight champion.
Today we went to eat and we were talking about how fast things were happening. We just have to be ready for big opportunities to show up. We’ve got to keep working and stay focused. David knows big challenges are coming, so we have to be ready. I tell him ‘you’re only 19 and people are already talking about you. Keep working hard and make your sacrifices now, so they pay off later. David understands that.
Both Benavidez credit promoter Sampson Lewkowicz for helping make their miraculous run through the division a reality. “He’s done everything he said he would,” said David. “He says I’ll be back in December against another veteran with good experience. Ще бъда готов.”

SERGEY KOVALEV VS. ANDRE WARD “POUND FOR POUND” SHOWDOWN OFFICIALLY SET FOR SATURDAY, Ноември 19 PRESENTED LIVE BY HBO PAY-PER-VIEW®

 

NoTMobileNoMGM (2)

OAKLAND, КАТО (Август. 6, 2016) – На Събота, Ноември. 19 the world’s best pound-for-pound boxer will be crowned. Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev (30-0-1, 26 Нокаута), the WBO, WBA and IBF Light Heavyweight World Champion, и Andre “S.O.G.” Ward (30-0, 15 Нокаута) Двукратен световен шампион, officially announced their long-awaited showdown following Ward’s victory over Alexander Brand at the conclusion of the live HBO World Championship Boxing® телевизионно предаване Събота night at Oracle Arena in Oakland. Kovalev vs. Ward will take place Събота, Ноември. 19. Събитието ще се произвежда и разпространява на живо по HBO Pay-Per-View, започваща в 9:00 p.m. И/6:00 p.m. PT and is presented by Main Events, Roc Nation Sports, Krusher Promotions and Andre Ward Promotions.

Kovalev and Ward are currently ranked the number two and number four pound-for-pound boxers in the world, съответно, by The Ring Magazine, making their hotly anticipated fight only the third bout in the history of The Ring Magazine pound-for-pound list to pit two undefeated top-five ranked pound-for-pound fighters against each other. Odds makers and pundits have this fight evenly matched at 50-50 and it is poised to be a sure-fire 2016 Fight на кандидата Година. History will be made on Ноември. 19тата!

 

Making the fight even more intriguing, Kovalev and Ward are polar opposites. The Russian Wrecking Ball Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev is an unbeaten knockout artist sitting atop boxing’s light heavyweight division. With his ferocity in the ring and his charisma outside of it, Krusher is on his way to becoming the sport’s next big star. The last American man to win an Olympic Gold Medal in boxing, Andre “S.O.G.” Ward is already a future Hall of Famer. Известен със силна неговия характер и почтеност извън ринга и инстинкта си воин вътре в нея, Ward has not lost a fight, amateur or professional, since he was 12-years-old. Kovalev’s seemingly unstoppable offense-first approach stands in stark contrast to Ward’s slick, defensive style that has been an unsolvable riddle for every foe he’s taken on.

 

Neither man has faced an opponent like this before. Who will be the next “Pound for Pound” king? Find out Събота, Ноември. 19!

 

Live on HBO тази вечер, when asked about whether or not Ward is ready to face him Kovalev said, “I think he is ready. I am ready too. The fight against Chilemba was similar to how it is going to be against Andre Ward. He is a really great champion and he proved this today. I just want to say, да го направим Ноември 19 on HBO.”

 

Ward responded, “I am excited, един. I am looking forward to it. I want to be the light heavyweight champion of the world. I got past this step. He got past his step. We will see you in November. I have been doing this for 22 years and if I am not ready to fight the best now then I will never be ready. I have been preparing for these moments since I been a kid. You got to respect Sergey for the way he has gotten to where he has gotten. He didn’t have any soft touches. He wasn’t protected. He wasn’t really pushed by the media. He is a guy who should get a lot more credit than he has. The winner of this fight could possibly be pound-for-pound #1.”

 

Additional details for the event, including ticket information, will be released shortly.

 

*The Ring Magazine began publishing pound-for-pound rankings in 1989.

 

Ковальов, the Russian Wrecking Ball, 33, has been dominating boxing’s light heavyweight division with his aggressive, fan-friendly style since his breakout performance against then-unbeaten Nathan Cleverly in 2013. His rise to boxing stardom has been meteoric, as he has gone from an unknown fighter from Chelyabinsk, Russia to headlining HBO Pay-Per-View in just four years after signing with his first promoter, Main Events. Out of of Kovalev’s 30 победи са 26 have come by way of knockout. Допълнително, he has entered into championship rounds only twice in his professional career. Kovalev has always sought to test himself against the best boxing has to offer; he wants to prove in the ring that he deserves that mantle.

Опека, 32, the last American man to win an Olympic Gold Medal in boxing (2004), reigned as the WBA Super Middleweight World Champion from 2009 към 2015 while fighting mostly out of his hometown, Оукланд, КАТО. He announced his intention to move to up to the light heavyweight division in search of a bigger challenge in 2015, shortly after signing with his current promoter, Roc Nation Sports. He has been a top rated pound-for-pound fighter since 2011. Ward is seeking to assume his place and leave a legacy at the top of the sport.

PHILADELPHIA (Август 6, 2016) – Undefeated rising contender David “Червено знаме” Benavidez (16-0, 15 Нокаута) нокаутиран Denis Douglin (20-5, 13 Нокаута) в главното събитие на 10-кръг Премиер боксови Champions на ESPN и ESPN от 2300 Arena във Филаделфия.
Douglin, who is trained by his mother Saphya, opened the fight very aggressive, stealing the first round on all three judges’ скоркарти. Douglin continued to press the action, also winning the second round battle with two of the three judges, but Benavidez would soon settle in and take control of the war.
“Знаех, че това щеше да бъде тежка битка. I knew Douglin wasn’t going to go out without a fight,” said Benavidez. “So I came in here and started slower than I usually do, just using my jab a little bit more.
The 19-year-old Benavidez made the necessary corrections in round three and never looked back, chipping away throughout the fourth and fifth rounds. In the sixth, Benavidez teed off on Douglin with damaging punches to both Douglin’s body and head.
In the seventh round, Benavidez was still having his way when one of the top turnbuckles gave out, causing the ropes on one side of the ring to collapse, and stopping the fight momentarily. When the action resumed, Douglin came forward with a flurry, but that burst of energy was short-lived.
Benavidez regained control in the eighth round, and in the ninth he scored the only knockdown of the fight. In the tenth and final frame, Benavidez threw a barrage of punches, several of which buckled Douglin, causing referee Gary Rosato to intervene and stop the fight at :35 в кръглата.
When asked about Douglin’s resilience, Benavidez said, “I hurt him a lot of times, but I kept my cool. I knew I was going to get him out of there sooner or later and that’s exactly what I did tonight. This is a good victory for me. Douglin is a tough veteran. He started fast and swinging wildly, and his offense probably looked better on-camera than it was, but he did what he had to do to survive until the final round.
Benavidez continued, “It was important to me to get the stoppage and show everybody that I am just as strong in the late rounds as I am early on. I love this. This is what I signed up for. I want tough fights.
A disappointed Douglin said, “I was in this fight, I just got winded. I was in great shape and everything, but I got winded there towards the end. Benavidez is a tough, young fighter. He was able to make me stay in there longer than I wanted to, but I feel good and I’ll be back.
Benavidez concluded, “Точно сега, I would like to say that I don’t think about who’s next. I’m just trying to progress in my career and I’m not trying to call anybody out. But if I do dream about fighting anybody, it would be whoever is the champion at my weight. I’m going to work hard to get to that spot.
Televised coverage began with exciting undefeated contender Alejandro “El Charro” Luna (21-0, 15 Нокаута) defeating Philadelphia prospect Наим Нелсън (13-2, 1 KO) с единодушно решение (99-91, 98-92, 97-93) in a ten-round bout fought at a catch weight of 144 паунда.
Нелсон, who stepped up to face Luna on only 24-hours notice, tried to bring the fight to Luna in the early rounds and make it a physical contest on the inside.
Despite Luna landing a couple of blistering uppercuts in the second and third rounds, Nelson still came forward. Luna later said, “Nelson was a tough guy and could bang a little bit.
By the close of the third round, Luna’s left eye appeared to be swelling badly, but luckily for Luna Nelson’s gas tank appeared to drain just in time. Although Nelson was all aggression and wanted to fight in a phone booth early on, he found himself landing fewer punches and looking to create distance in the middle rounds.
Luna soon took over the action, and in the seventh round a cut opened on Nelson’s forward, but was quickly controlled by his corner. въпреки това, Luna had done enough damage in the middle stages of the scrap and was able coast to a unanimous victory on the scorecards.
Obviously we prepared for another opponent, but I felt I had a solid performance against him,” said Luna. “Nelson came to fight and was in shape, and I thought I handled him pretty well, but I know I can still do better.
When asked about taking the fight on short notice Nelson said, “I make no excuses, but we took this fight at 9 p.m. last night and I knew I was stepping up to face a tough opponent. I didn’t get the decision, but I felt good in there tonight, and I proved I can compete with a world class fighter.
Nelson added, “Luna is a good puncher and he’s strong. I won’t take anything away from him. We fought a hell of a fight, and I look forward to being back soon.
Luna summed up the night adding, “I’m looking to build on what I did here tonight and get back in the ring soon for another good fight.
