NEW YORK (Април 6, 2016) - Шоу Спорт® presents its latest installment of a year-long salute commemorating 30 години на SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP Бокс® with “Fights of the Year” in April on SHO EXTREME®.

 

The fourth round of a 12-month tribute will be highlighted by four of the most rousing and unforgettable fights in boxing history:

  • Jorge Castro vs. John David Jackson I - 1994 Пръстен Magazine Fight of the Year (Кръг 9 earned Round of the Year honors)
  • Paulie Ayala vs. Джони Тапия Аз - 1999 Ring Magazine Fight на годината (Ayala earned Fighter of the Year honors)
  • Диего Коралес срещу. Jose Luis Castillo I - 2005 Consensus Fight of the Year (Кръг 10 earned Round of the Year honors)
  • Lucas Matthysse срещу. John Molina Jr. - 2014 Boxing Writers Association of America Fight of the Year.

 

The four celebrated battles will air on “Throwback Thursdays” all month at 10 p.m. И/PT on SHO EXTREME and are available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®, SHOWTIME ВСЯКО ВРЕМЕ® и чрез онлайн услугата за стрийминг на мрежата. Each fight will be wrapped with brief context and commentary from SHOWTIME Sports ring announcer and International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Jimmy Lennon Jr.

 

Below is the schedule of SHOWTIME EXTREME premieres for the month of April:

  • Четвъртък, Април 7: Jorge Castro vs. John David Jackson I
  • Четвъртък, Април 14: Lucas Matthysse vs. John Molina Jr.
  • Четвъртък, Април 21: Диего Коралес срещу. Jose Luis Castillo I
  • Четвъртък, Април 28: Paulie Ayala vs. Johnny Tapia I

 

Castro-Jackson I (Декември. 10, 1994, Castro KO 9) –Castro, thoroughly battered, bloodied and losing by a wide margin, rallies from the absolute brink of defeat to score three knockdowns in the ninth round to overcome Jackson in one of the most dramatic turnarounds ever.

 

Ayala-Tapia I (Юни 26, 1999, Ayala W 12) – In some of the fiercest two-way action in the history of Las Vegas boxing, southpaw Ayala hands Tapia his first professional loss in 49 fights and captures the WBA bantamweight title by the scores of 115-114 и 116-113 два пъти. Game On: As the boxers were being announced, Tapia walked across the ring and shoved Ayala causing a momentary skirmish.

 

Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo I (Май 7, 2005, Corrales TKO 10)After nine intense, back-and-forth rounds, Corrales accomplishes the unthinkable, miraculously regrouping from два knockdowns in the 10тата to stop Castillo in the same round (2:06) and etch his spot in boxing lore. After managing to beat the count (and lose a point for excessive spitting out of the mouthpiece), Corrales got Castillo on the ropes and connected with a huge right hand. He continued to unload and Castillo got nailed with a bundle of vicious punches. Секунди по-късно, the ref stopped it.

 

Lucas Matthysse-John Molina Jr. (Април 26, 2014, Matthysse KO 11)Abloody slugfest, in which both fighters were knocked down multiple times,became an instant classic. Matthysse who went down in the second and fifth rounds, came back with a late-fight onslaught to wear down and drop Molina in the eighth, 10тата и 11тата кръга. The tremendous brawl was as brutal as it was exciting and more compelling to witness than anyone could have imagined.

A proud Philadelphia fighter, Ловец (21-3, 11 Нокаута) will face Selby (22-1, 8 Нокаута) in a 12-round battle this Събота, Април 9, for Selby’s IBF World Featherweight Championship at The O2 in London.

I wasn’t invited to the open workout yesterday,” - каза Хънтър. “They had an open workout for Selby and didn’t have one for me. I’m kind of irritated about that. It’s not even fair to the fans, Знаете ли, че? I’m sure that a lot of fans wanted to see who their man is fighting. I have no choice but to use it as fuel for even more motivation.
The 29-year-old Hunter, in Europe for the first time, says he doesn’t mind travelling to win this championship. Фактически, despite being an underdog via the odds makers, Hunter says his victory won’t be an upset. “I won’t call it an upset when I win. I’m the better fighter. And it doesn’t bother me to come here. All the great ones had to do it. Искам да бъда велик, so I have to do this. As long as they don’t cheat me with the judges, I’m ok.
Hunter says his victory will be the culmination of his lifelong dream. “It would mean everything. It would right my wrongs. All those who doubted me. All my failures and letdowns on the way here. It will turn all my negatives into positives.

LAS VEGAS (Април 5, 2016) – The април 16тата10-round main event between Canadian welterweight Стив “Драконът” Claggett and South Africa-native Chris “The Heat” Ван Heerden embodies the “Knockout Night at the D” philosophy in terms of featuring action fighters in evenly matched, entertaining bouts.
The “Knockout Night at the D” серия, представен от на D Las Vegas иDowntown Las Vegas Събития Center(DLVEC), се насърчава от Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) боксови Промоции.
ГПР. 16тата “Knockout Night at the D” event will air Събота нощ, Април 16 (8 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. И), на живо по CBS Sports Network from under the neon lights at the DLVEC outdoor venue.
The broadcast team includes Джим “JR” Рос, Sean Wheelock и бивш световен шампион Kevin “The Flushing FlashKelley. Joe Martinez is the ring announcer.
Claggett срещу. Van Heerden is a crossroads fight for both boxers with critical consequences, especially for the winner who will use it as an invaluable springboard for his boxing career.
The 26-year-old Claggett (23-3-1, 16 Нокаута), who is the reigning Canadian Professional Boxing Council and Canadian welterweight champion, is thrilled to be fighting in Las Vegas for the first time. “Това е сбъдната мечта,” той обясни. “I’ve trained in Las Vegas often but now it’s time to show what I can do there in a fight. A win will open many doors for me and could potentially lead to a path that will set up the rest of my boxing life. излишно да се каже, I am focused and prepared for the opportunity.
VIDEO PROMO LINK:
Claggett, as well as Van Heerden, are known as high-action fighters, throwing punches in bunches, and something eventually has to give. Ван Heerden (23-1-1, 12 Нокаута), fighting out of Santa Monica (КАТО), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) и Международната федерация по бокс (IBF) полусредна категория шампион.
Van Heerden is a rangy, quick and active fighter,” Claggett said. “I have an action style but, for many years, I was strictly a pressure fighter with a good body shot. В днешно време, въпреки че, I have a couple of more tricks up my sleeve. His heart and durability have been shown and is to be respected. This match-up is sure to produce some good exchanges. I expect this to be a high-action fight between two hungry fighters with him coming off a loss (to unbeaten rising star Ерол Спенс Jr. през септември миналата година) and me coming off more than one fight falling through. This is a great match up. He is similar to the style of (Константин)Ponomarev (who Claggett lost an 8-round decision to last year) with range and movement. And that motivates me!”

Толкова съм горд, че съм роден в Ню Йорк, в малкото градче Канастота, където боксът е в кръвта ни. Развълнувана съм от честта днес.

Във фитнеса беше много по-трудно. видях Gerry Куни, Иран Barkley и Roberto Duran и исках да направя това, което направиха тези момчета и това ме направи боец, какъвто бях. Бих искал да благодаря на баща си и Били Джайлс, който ми беше треньор.

Следващият месец го гледашеSugar Ray Robinson нокаут Роки Грациано и това беше началото на любовна връзка, която продължи 63 години. Бокс, в най-добрия си вид, е поезия в движение. Това е Shapespeare, Пикасо, Рембранд. Но може да бъде и суров. Започнах в бокса, управлявайки трима бойци: Рони Харис, Gerry Куни и Хауърд Дейвис. Jr. Заради креативния маркетинг на нашите бойци, един репортер се обади на мен и партньора ми, Mike Jones, ‘Близнаците от златния прах’ но тогава медиите започват да ни се обаждат, ‘Близнаците Wacko.’ Предпочитах ‘The Gold Dust Twins.”

Преди четири месеца, Получих (Пръстен 8 на своята вечеря за празнични награди) Награда за организатор на годината. Тогава казах, че наистина сме семейство на бокса; това е истинско братство. Говорих и за това как боксът е обвързан с лири. В тази стая – не с нас сега – беше баща ми, който почина преди три седмици. Заради него, Развих тази любов към бокса, която съм носил в живота: работи усилено, за да направиш най-доброто, което можеш в живота. За мен е истинска чест да бъда въведен в Ню Йоркската боксова зала на славата. В чест на баща ми и всички останали, които обичат този спорт. Приемам от името на баща ми, който, Знам, ни гледа сега.”

(L-R) – Хенри Hascup, Randy Gordon, Melvina Lathan, Боб Дъфи и Гери Куни
Randy Gordon: “Благодаря, всички. Това невероятно събитие, което имаме всяка година, Никога не съм очаквал, че това ще се случи. Кариерата ми се роди от болките на един от най-големите скандали в бокса, американското първенство по ABC, насърчавани от Don King, и списание Ring изготви рейтингите за турнира. Оказа се, че рейтингите и някои от записите са подплатени и току-що събаря Ring Magazine от бизнеса. Бърт Рандолф Sugar ме нае за главен редактор. Да работим заедно, върнахме списание Ring от мъртвите. Изплаках се, когато Джак Hirsch призовани да ми кажат, че ме въвеждат в Ню Йоркската боксова зала на славата. Това е абсолютна мечта. Всеки, който някога или някога ще бъде въведен в която и да е зала на славата, никой не може да се наслаждава на това повече от мен. Обичам бокса с всяка унция от тялото си. Жена ми и семейството ми ме връщат обратно към бокса. Това е най-голямата чест. Не мога да се наситя на бокса. Наистина съм най-щастливият човек, поставен някога на тази планета.”

Ето какво участниците трябваше да се каже, Петък:
JACK Badou
I’ll be ready for this fight. Bute is a very tough opponent. I have to bring my ‘Agame to win. Much respect to him, but he’s not leaving with my belt. Absolutely not. You can expect a very tough fight.
Bute is a much, much tougher opponent that Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., но съм готова за него.
Bute’s fight against DeGale was one of the best fights last year. That’s the only reason he got this shot. He lost, but he looked good. Беше голяма борба. Април 30 will be another great fight. And another loss for Bute.
Lucian BUTE
This is a great opportunity for me to fight again for a title. Чувствам се добре, I started camp six weeks ago. Най-важното, I’m very healthy. Психологически, I’m looking forward to becoming a world champion on Април 30.
I respect Badou Jack. He is a great champion, голям боец, но на Април 30, I will become a world champion again. I’m looking forward to it.
I will be the new champion. I am very confident. Очаквам той да бъде един много труден двубой, but I am coming here to win.
I have a new team. They are changing some things in my work. My confidence is 100 на сто. I’m working every day very tough and I am confident that everything will be great for Април 30.”
FLOYD Мейуедър, Председател на Мейуедър Промоции
This fight is about the best facing the best. I’ve seen Bute fight numerous times and he’s a very exciting and explosive fighter. Every time he goes out there and performs he gives 100 на сто.
Mayweather Promotions is about giving people the best and most exciting fights.
I commend Badou Jack for the way that he carries himself. He is a true gentlemen and that is what this sport is all about. He’s going to continue to make a name for himself in this sport.
PIERRE DUC, VP of Interbox
We’re very thrilled about this fight. For those of you who have not been exposed to Lucian Bute before, Той е страхотен боец. He’s been working extremely hard over the course of the last 6-12 months getting ready for a moment like this.
Bute has a very long history of fighting great fights and championship wars. Lucian will be ready for this.
Training camp is going astonishingly well. Lucian is usually more of a gentleman, so he will say he wants to do the best that he can, but I’m telling you that Lucian is going to be walking away with this belt. It’s going to be a fantastic and very exciting evening. Lucian will pull the upset on Април 30.”
СТИВЪН Еспиноза, Executive VP & Генерален мениджър, Шоу Спорт
The one comment I will make about this event, other than to point out it features four of the best fighters in the division, is that it was quite possibly the easiest event to make out of all the events we made this spring and summer. That’s a credit to the promoters and especially a credit to all four fighters.
We didn’t just make two fights here. We’ve got the winners of these fights fighting later in the year in a unification match. To be able to make two fights very quickly and to get everyone on board with fighting the winners in a unification match with no mess, no politics, no arguments and no hesitation is an accomplishment.
These are four real fighters here and they were not afraid of a challenge, they didn’t hesitate at all. This is what the sport of boxing is all about. I personally can’t wait for April 30th and for a unification later in the year.

Patrick “The Punisher” Hyland Fighting For Irish Boxing History

Russell-Hyland, Pedraza-Smith Twin World Title Fights
Събота, Април 16 Живеят на SHOWTIME®
Машантукет, Кон. (Април 4, 2016) – Always tough Patrick “Punisher” Hyland (31-1, 15 Нокаута) will be fighting for Irish boxing history Събота, Април 16 as he challenges WBC Featherweight World Champion Гари Ръсел Jr. (26-1, 15 Нокаута) в главното събитие на 12-кръг, airing live on SHOWTIME от Foxwoods Resort Casino в Машантукет, CT.
The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP Бокс® telecast kicks off at 11 p.m. И/8 p.m. PT with undefeated IBF Super Lightweight World Champion Jose “Sniper” Педраса (21-0, 12 Нокаута), на CIDRA, Puerto Rico, defending against mandatory challenger Stephen “Swifty” Ковач (23-1, 13 Нокаута), fighting out of the United Kingdom.
Hyland is on the verge of joining a pair of exclusive Irish boxing clubs. The 32-year-old from Dublin is attempting to become the first Irishman to be world featherweight champion in 30 години, since Hall-of-Famer Barry “The Clones Cyclone” McGuigan, in addition to being only the second IrishmanWayneThe Pocket RocketMcCullough stands alone right nowto ever wear the coveted green WBC world title belt.
McGuigan (32-3, 28 Нокаута), fighting out of Clones, captured the WBA Featherweight Title in 1985, taking a 12-round decision from Eusebio Pedroza, and he successfully defended his crown twice against Bernard Taylor и Danilio Cabrera before losing by decision to Steve Cruz в 1986.
The only other Ireland-born world featherweight titlist was Dave Sullivan (27-12-7, 18 Нокаута), who was born in Knocknanaff, County Cork, Ирландия, but fought professionally out of Boston, Маса. В 1898, Sullivan stopped Solly Smith in the fifth round to become world featherweight champion.
Белфаст, Northern Ireland-product McCullough (27-7, 18 Нокаута), who was the WBC Bantamweight Champion in 1995-97, is the lone Irishman to ever be WBC World Champion in any weight class.
Just to be fighting for this title is an honor for me and to challenge a great champion in Gary Russell, Jr. is also an honor,” Hyland said from his training camp at Celtic Warrior Gym in Dublin. “To join great Irish boxing names is a dream come true for me. It will also mean the world to me to win this belt for my and family and, Най-важното, for my (късно) dad, for all the hard work he put into me and my two brothers since I was eight years old. To look up and say, ‘Dad, we did it,’ will be the best feeling in the world.
Hyland has fought 10 times in the United States, including a 12-round loss to interim WBA featherweight champion Javier Fortuna in 2012. Hyland lived in Marlboro, New York for a few years when he was promoted by a company headed by then reality television star NicoleSnookiPolizzi.
I love fighting in the United States,” Hyland added. “There’s always a great atmosphere at fights there and the US is the real home of boxing. Snooki Boxing didn’t work out as planned, but they did a great job getting me the WBA title shot which was a great achievement in their first year in boxing. За съжаление, things didn’t work out after that fight, but I do have great respect for them. I met friends for life from Marlboro who I consider family and they’ll be at my fight as always.

Бийте Доклад: Churcher KOs Horvath To Secure WBF title as Herbert Shines In Wales

Lee Churcher pulled out a sensational against the odds victory over Hungarian Balazs Horvath в събота night to secure the World Boxing Foundation Intercontinental Middleweight title, at the Pill Millennium Centre in his hometown of Newport.

 

Churcher, who was World ranked some two hundred plus places lower than Horvath, dominated the bout right from the off. Working behind a good solid jab, the Newport lad enthralled the local fans with some slick combinations, to both body and head, so much so that the more experienced Hungarian soon had to result to holding tactics whenever Churcher was in close range.

 

The canny Welshman was having none of it though and just patiently waited for any opportunity that came his way to punish Horvath with vicious body shots.

 

By midway through the first round Churcher’s confidence really began to grow, after badly shaking Horvath with the aforementioned body shots, so it came as no surprise to anyone when shortly after Churcher sent Horvath to the deck.

 

Horvath recovered but once again resorted to holding tactics to frustrate Churcher through to the end of the round.

 

More of the same in round two more or less, except Churcher really started to get into a flow, catching Horvath with more vicious body shots, the Hungarian tried to cover up, before again trying to grab hold of the Welshman, Churcher is canny though and worked behind the jab again before letting rip with yet another huge right hand to send Horvath down for the second time.

 

The Hungarian made the count and immediately on the restart Churcher went back on the attack, but the Hungarian tried to stifle the Welshman’s attacks by attempting to grab hold again, Churcher though used this to his advantage and let rip with a huge body shot to send the Hungarian back down to the canvas.

 

Clearly in distress, Horvath made an initial attempt to get back to his feet before settling to be just up on one knee, the pain showing on the Hungarian’s face clear for all to see as he attempted to unsuccessfully beat the count.

 

Whilst it may not have been a classic, нищо, but nothing can take away from Lee Churcher the artistry of his craft and tactics throughout and of course claiming the third Championship accolade of his career, the World Boxing Foundation Intercontinental Middleweight Championship, to add to his British Masters and BBBofC Welsh Area Title.

 

Main support for the Churcher-Horvath Championship bout, featured a four round Super Welterweight bout between Nottingham duo Carwyn Herbert and Matt Scriven.

 

Какъв крекинг бой, both combatants going at it hammer and tongs in close combat for the full three minutes of each and every round.

 

After the full four rounds of non-stop action referee Chris Kelly scored the bout 40-36 to the youngster Carwyn Herbert, however that doesn’t really express the closeness of each round or the full on intent of either competitor throughout.

 

Supporting the two pro bouts were six Wales versus England exhibition bouts, supervision courtesy of Wales Boxing. Whilst I’m not going to cover these because they were not pro, have to say the final two bouts of the six were excellent and really could have featured on any pro card and nobody would have known the difference.

 

Have to say plaudits must go to co-promoters Dave Murphy (Acourtier Events) and Steven Fisher (Lights Out Promotions) for digging deep into their pockets to bring both the MBC and the WBF Championship to Wales for the first time, even if it meant there wasn’t enough money in the kitty to justify a full pro show, hopefully the Welsh fans will get behind Lee Churcher so his first defense of the WBF title can also be in Newport or nearby.
