“Boxing Gave Me Things I Couldn’t imagine. Boxing Let Me Dream. That’s What I’m Fighting For: That Chance To Dream Again.”
Veteran boxer, um ex-campeão do mundo duas divisão, Paulie Malignaggi pens an open letter to the sport of boxing as the Magic Man prepares to step into the ring once more on Saturday night.
Malignaggi (35-7, 7 KOs) will face Gabriel Bracero in a 10-round welterweight bout between fellow Brooklynite in the SHOWTIME EXTREME® main event tomorrow, Saturday live at 7 p.m. E/PT from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.I..
Malignaggi explains in the letter why he keeps on climbing into the ring: “I know fighters don’t age gracefully,” he says. “I know fighters get hurt. But I also know in my heart, I gotta fight. At least one more time. Porquê? I’ll tell you why: Love.”
After his bout, Malignaggi, also a Showtime Sports® boxing analyst, plans to join the announce team and call the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® tripleheader featuring featherweight world champion Leo Santa Cruz defending against N. Ireland’s Carl Frampton and the return of undefeated and former two-division champion Mikey Garcia facing ex-champion Elio Rojas, viverALTURA DE COMEÇAR® (9 p.m. E/6 p.m. PT).
Wilcox tops Orozco in Toronto
Toronto, Ontario, Canadá (Julho 29, 2016) – Up and coming lightweight Steven Wilcox of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada scored an impressive eight round unanimous decision over rugged Mexican Juan Orozco Thursday, Julho 28 at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto.
Topping Lee Baxter Promotions’ inaugural “Next Generation” fight card and with an excited crowd supporting him, the taller Wilcox looked to use his range from the opening bell. Orozco was able to close the gap at times during the first few rounds, landing some decent shots in close quarters. Wilcox effectively adjusted and found his range, peppering Orozco with clean punches. For the remainder of the bout, Orozco attempted to press forward but was unsuccessful as Wilcox continued to land clean shots to the body and head of his game foe en route to a unanimous decision.
Wilcox improves to 14-1-1 com 5 nocautes. The game Orozco is now 14-4-2 com 10 KO.
Light heavyweight “Irish” Tim Cronin of Etobicoke, Ontario dominated Slovakia’s Kristof Demendi over six one sided rounds en route to a decision. Cronin, who is unbeaten since losing a split decision in his pro debut, dominated the fight as Demendi was never able to find his rhythm.
Cronin ups his professional ledger to 8-1-1 com 2 wins by knockout while Demendi slips to 10-2-2 (6 KO).
Highly touted heavyweight newcomer Mladen Miljas (1-0, 1 KO) battered David Vyletel (5-2, 2 KO) of Slovakia until the referee saved the latter from further punishment in the second stanza. Miljas, who fights out of Ontario, displayed an arsenal of skills during the impressive showing.
Em outra acção, junior middleweight Mayron Zeferino (1-0) scored a first round knockdown and overcame a late rally from Danyk Croteau (1-1) en route to a decision victory while super middleweight newcomers Augistino D’Aluisio (0-0-1) and Mike Miller (0-0-1) battled to a draw.
“We went through a lot of changes with this card and worked hard to make it happen,” said Lee Baxter. “Miljas looked fantastic and Zeferino gutted out a decision over a very determined opponent. Steven Wilcox was very sharp tonight and outpointed a very tough foe that never stopped trying. Global, I’m satisfied with the event and hope the fans that tuned in around the world via the webcast enjoyed it as well. We’re looking forward to bringing more exciting boxing to Ontario.”
Lee Baxter Promotions’ next card will be announced shortly.

As Leo Santa Cruz and Carl Frampton prepare to collide for one of the top spots in the featherweight division neste sábado, the undefeated fighters have plenty of motivation as they approach their marquee summer blockbuster.
Boxing has always been a family affair for the Santa Cruz clan, with father Jose leading the charge with the assistance of Leo’s brother, Anthony. But a frightening diagnosis of cancer has threatened to prevent Jose from manning Leo’s corner for the first time in his career.
After unifying the super bantamweight division, Frampton moved up to featherweight for his second fight in the U.S. And while the Irish sensation aims to become a two-division world champion, he’s also hoping to become a star in America and follow in the footsteps of his mentor, Hall of Famer Barry McGuigan.
Check out these intimate SHOWTIME Sports features on Santa Cruz and Frampton as they approach a career-defining moment neste sábado, vivo no canal Showtime® (9 p.m. E/6 p.m. PT) do Barclays Center, em Brooklyn.

Julho 29 transmitido ao vivo na Spike TV do Videotron Center
|
Adônis ”Super-homem” Stevenson – WBC e campeão mundial dos meio-pesados lineares:
”Bem-vindo a Québec City Thomas. Eu vi sua luta contra Edwin Rodriguez. Foi um bom desempenho com um belo nocaute. Quando eu vi aquela luta, Eu disse a mim mesmo que queria aquela luta com você. Eu sabia que ficaria motivado.”
”Eu sei que Williams bate forte e que ele tem um nome agora nos Estados Unidos, mas mantenho a mesma mentalidade do Kronk Gym que o Emmanuel Steward me ensinou: nós vamos para o KO. Também é o aniversário da minha filha e eu quero dar a ela um KO, Eu estou motivado. Isso vai ser emocionante…não pisque!”
Thomas ”Melhor cachorro” Williams – WBC #8 desafiante classificado meio-pesado:
”Você não sabe o que eu passei para estar aqui. Tweets, conversas e previsões não significam nada Sexta-feira noite…..fatos vão. Haverá um novo campeão.”
Eleider ”Tempestade” Alvarez – WBC #1 ranked challenger and WBC Silver light heavyweight champion:
”With only a 10-day notice, I am really happy to face a fighter of good caliber. Berridge é um cara duro que enfrentou nomes como Thomas Oosthuizen e Blake Caparello, mas me preparei muito para Chad Dawson. Estou pronto.”
Robert ”The Butcher” Berridge – New Zealand light heavyweight champion :
”Estou animado por estar aqui e enfrentar um boxeador sólido. Expect a good performance from me Sexta-feira.”
Yvon Michel – Presidente do GYM:
”The event is called ‘SHOOTOUT’ because of the aggressive style of Thomas Williams Jr, who fights like there is no amanhã, combined with the explosive power of Adonis Stevenson.”
”Williams is a clear and present danger but we are convinced that Adonis is well prepared and will succeed, so that we will all be happy Sábado morning while eating breakfast. We still have not seen his full potential yet.’
”The fight between Eleider Alvarez and Robert Berridge is really important for the rankings in the light heavyweight division. Alvarez is highly considered by all the independent rankings (The Ring, BoxRec) and Berridge was already in training before the withdrawal of Chad Dawson, because he was supposed to fight on HBO PPV last weekend before the bout was cancelled for administrative reasons. He is fearless and a hard hitter.”
