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:

  • බ්රහස්පතින්දා, අප්රේල් 7: Jorge Castro vs. John David Jackson I
  • බ්රහස්පතින්දා, අප්රේල් 14: Lucas Matthysse vs. John Molina Jr.
  • බ්රහස්පතින්දා, අප්රේල් 21: දියේගෝ Corrales එදිරිව. Jose Luis Castillo I
  • බ්රහස්පතින්දා, අප්රේල් 28: Paulie Ayala vs. Johnny Tapia I

 

Castro-Jackson I (දෙසැම්බර්. 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 (ජූනි මස 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 හා 116-113 දෙවරක්. 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 (මැයි 7, 2005, Corrales TKO 10) — After nine intense, back-and-forth rounds, Corrales accomplishes the unthinkable, miraculously regrouping from දෙකක් knockdowns in the 10වන 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. ස්වල්ප වේලාවකට පසු, the ref stopped it.

 

Lucas Matthysse-John Molina Jr. (අප්රේල් 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, 10වන හා 11වන වට. The tremendous brawl was as brutal as it was exciting and more compelling to witness than anyone could have imagined.

Eric Hunter in London, Ready to Take Selby’s IBF Featherweight Title This Saturday

ඒ ප්රකාශය කරන්නේ මාරයාය

 
Upcoming world title challenger Eric “මෙම නීති විරෝධී’ Hunter is in London and feeling more motivated now than ever to take the title away from Welsh champion Lee Selby.
A proud Philadelphia fighter, හන්ටර් (21-3, 11 Kos) will face Selby (22-1, 8 Kos) in a 12-round battle this සෙනසුරාදා, අප්රේල් 9, for Selby’s IBF World Featherweight Championship at The O2 in London. The bout will serve as the featured fight before undefeated IBF Heavyweight World Champion Charles Martin defends his belt against fellow unbeaten Anthony Joshua. Extensive highlights of Hunter vs. Selby will be shown on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL®, prior to live coverage of Martin-Joshua (සඟරාව ජීවත්® දී 5 ප.ව.. සහ/2 ප.ව.. පී.ටී.).
“I wasn’t invited to the open workout yesterday,” said Hunter. “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, ඔබ දන්නවා? 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. ඇත්තටම, 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. මම මහා වීමට අවශ්ය, 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.”

“The Dragon” to be unleashed April 16th Live on CBS Sports Network from DLVEC in Las Vegas

ඒ ප්රකාශය කරන්නේ මාරයාය

ලාස් වේගාස් (අප්රේල් 5, 2016) – අපේ්රල් 16වන10-round main event between Canadian welterweight ස්ටීව් “The Dragon” Claggett and South Africa-native ක්රිස් “උණුසුම” වෑන් හියඩන් embodies the “Knockout Night at the D” philosophy in terms of featuring action fighters in evenly matched, entertaining bouts.
මෙම “Knockout Night at the D” මාලාවක්, presented by මෙම ඩී ලාස් වේගාස් හාරසවිදින ලාස් වේගාස් සිදුවීම් මධ්යස්ථානය(DLVEC), විසින් ප්රවර්ධනය කරයි රෝයි ජෝන්ස් Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions.
මෙම අප්රේල්. 16වන “Knockout Night at the D” event will air සෙනසුරාදා රාත්රී, අප්රේල් 16 (8 ප.ව.. පී.ටී. / 11 ප.ව.. සහ), ජීවත් වෙන්න බැංකු විදු පියසේ ස්පෝර්ට් නෙට්වර්ක් from under the neon lights at the DLVEC outdoor venue.
The broadcast team includes Jim “ජේ ආර්” Ross, ෂෝන් Wheelock හා හිටපු ලෝක ශූරයා කෙවින් “The Flushing Flash” Kelley. Joe Martinez is the ring announcer.
Claggett vs. 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 Kos), who is the reigning Canadian Professional Boxing Council and Canadian welterweight champion, is thrilled to be fighting in Las Vegas for the first time. “එය සිහිනයක් සැබෑ වේ,” he explained. “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. Needless to say, 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. වෑන් හියඩන් (23-1-1, 12 Kos), fighting out of Santa Monica (එවැනි), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) හා ජාත්යන්තර බොක්සිං සම්මේලනය (IBF) welterweight ශූර.
“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. අද කාලයේ, නමුත්, 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 එරල් ස්පෙන්ස් ජෙර. last September) and me coming off more than one fight falling through. This is a great match up. He is similar to the style of (Konstantin)Ponomarev (who Claggett lost an 8-round decision to last year) with range and movement. And that motivates me!”

BERNARDO AND MENARD READY FOR THEIR CROSSROADS BATTLE ON SHOBOX: නව පරපුරේ, SHOWTIME® ජීවත්

ඒ ප්රකාශය කරන්නේ මාරයාය

The 29-year-old Bernardo (21-0, 15 Kos) සැන්ටෝ ඩොමින්ගෝ පිළිබඳ, is hard at work at Hank’s Gym in Houston, with his trainer, former IBF World Middleweight Champion Frank Tate.
“මම මහා හැඩය ඉන්නේ. මම ශක්තිමත් දැනෙනවා,” said Bernardo via translator. “I’ve learned so much from Frank Tate and I’m proud to be working with him. He’s a great trainer. I’m learning to throw better combinations and I’ve improved my defense, මගේ එන්නත, and my foot movement since we teamed up.”
Bernardo says he still doesn’t know much about opponent Menard, but isn’t worried about it. “I watched a few of his fights on YouTube, but I’m training for anything that comes my way. Everything is going to go great for me that night. It’s my ring that night and I will have my way. I will win.”
This is opportunity is a long-time coming for the 29-year-old and he says he plans on making the most of it. “I’m very excited about fighting on ShoBox and I look forward to putting on a show. I’ve been waiting for long time for this opportunity and want to thank Dmitriy Salita for making it happen.”
The 27-year-old Menard (30-1-0, 22 Kos), Rayne සිට, එම., is rated No. 15 by the WBA at 135 රාත්තල්. He’s training at Red Lerille’s Health & Racquet Club in Lafayette with trainer and former fighter “නරක” චැඩ් එක විග්රහ.
“I’ve learned how to be a better person in and out of the ring from Chad,” said Menard. “I’ve been with him for nine years. I’ve learned how to put punches together better and sit on my shots more. I’ve learned how to cut angles. I’ve learned so much from Chad.”
Menard says despite the usual aches and pain experienced in camp he is 100 percent and training is going well. The only adjustments he’s made is to bring in taller sparring partners.
“This is huge for me,” he continued. “This is the ‘get up or lay down’ type of fight. If I get up, then the sky is the limit. If I fall, then maybe it’s time to look for a job. I’m going to get in there and do what I have to do. Hopefully I get the KO, but if it goes to the scorecards, I just want the win. No matter which way it goes.”

(උසස් පෙළ-R) – NYSBHOF/Ring 8 සභාපති බොබ් ඩුෆි, දොන් Majeski, Ed Brophy and Jill Diamond (බෙ)
එඩ් Brophy: “I’d like to thank the committee of the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame and Ring 8, a wonderful group that sponsors the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. I’m so proud to have been born in New York, in the small town of Canastota, where boxing is in our blood. I’m thrilled to be honored today. My name is attached to the International Boxing Hall of Fame as director, but so many different people help out. I only accept this honor on their behalf. Boxing is the greatest sport. Congratulations to all of the inductees. This is the greatest day of my life.”
(උසස් පෙළ-R) – රොන් McNair, Aaron Davis and Bob Duffy
ආරොන්ගේ ඩේවිස්: ස්තුතියි, මුද්ද 8. Boxing is a hard sport. It was much harder in the gym. I saw ජෙරී කූනි ඔවුන්ට, ඉරානය Barkley හා රොබර්ටෝ ඩුරන් and wanted to do what those guys did and it made me a fighter I was. I’d like to thank my father and Billy Giles, who was my trainer. I’d also like to thank Joe DeGuardia, who managed me later in my career, and thanks to everybody who supported me.”
(උසස් පෙළ-R) — බොබ් ඩුෆි, Dennis Rappaport and family
ඩෙනිස් Rappaport: “It seems like yesterday when a six or seven year old living in Brooklyn watched a fight between වන Jake LaMotta හා Jim Hairston. This young man was mesmerized. The next month he watchedසීනි රේ රොබින්සන් නොකවුට් රොකී Graziano and that was the start of a love affair that’s lasted 63 වසර. බොක්සිං, at its best, is poetry in motion. It’s Shapespeare, Picasso, Rembrandt. But it can also be crude. I started in boxing managing three fighters: Ronnie Harris, ජෙරී කූනි ඔවුන්ට හා හොවාඩ් ඩේවිස්. Jr. Because of the creative marketing of our fighters, one reporter called me and my partner, මයික් ජෝන්ස්, ‘The Gold Dust Twins’ but then the media starting calling us, ‘The Wacko Twins.’ I preferred ‘The Gold Dust Twins.”

(උසස් පෙළ-R – ජැක් Hirsch, Joe DeGuardia and Bob Duffy
ජෝ DeGuardia: It’s a real pleasure, honor and privilege to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. Like many of you here, I live and bleed boxing, which has been a big part of my life. Four months ago, I received the (මුද්ද 8 at its Holiday awards dinner) Promoter of the Year award. I said then that we are truly a family of boxing; it’s a real brotherhood. I also talked about how boxing tied into lire. In that room – not with us now – was my father who passed away three weeks ago. Because of him, I developed this love of boxing that I’ve carried in life: work hard to do the best you can in life. I’m truly honored to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. In honor of my father and everybody else who loves this sport. I accept on behalf of my father who, මම දන්නවා, is watching us now.”
(උසස් පෙළ-R) – Charles Murray and Bob Duffy
චාල්ස් මරේ: “They called me, ‘The Natural.’ I appreciate this, being honored for my contributions to boxing. Thank you very much.”
(උසස් පෙළ-R) – ස්ටීව් Farhood, Vilomar Fernandez and Bob Duffy
Vilomar ෆර්නැන්ඩස්: “It wasn’t easy fighting guys like Roberto Duran and Alexis Arguello. They were the best in the world. I’m thankful for the opportunities to fight them, I’m honored today.”
(උසස් පෙළ-R) – හෙන්රි Hascup, රැන්ඩි ගෝර්ඩන්, Melvina Lathan, Bob Duffy and Gerry Cooney
රැන්ඩි ගෝර්ඩන්: “ස්තුතියි, සෑම කෙනෙකුටම. This amazing event we have every year, I never expected this would happen. My career was born out of the aches of one of boxing’s biggest scandals, the US Championships on ABC, විසින් ප්රවර්ධනය දොන් රජු, and Ring Magazine produced the ratings for the tournament. It turned out the ratings and some of the records were padded and it just about knocked Ring Magazine out of business. බර්ට් රැන්ඩොල්ෆ් සීනි hired me to be its Editor In Chief. එකට වැඩ, we brought Ring Magazine back from the dead. I burst into tears when ජැක් Hirsch called to tell me I was being inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. This is an absolute dream. Anybody who has ever or will ever be inducted into any hall of fame, nobody can possibly enjoy this more than me. I love boxing with every ounce of my body. My wife and family drive me back into boxing. This is the greatest honor. I can’t get enough of boxing. I’m truly the luckiest man ever placed on this planet.”

මෙන්න සහභාගී කියන්නට තිබූ දේ සිකුරාදා:
JACK BADOU
“I’ll be ready for this fight. Bute is a very tough opponent. I have to bring my ‘A’ game 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., but I’m ready for him.
“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. එය මහා සටන විය. අප්රේල් 30 will be another great fight. And another loss for Bute.”
ලූෂන් BUTE
“This is a great opportunity for me to fight again for a title. මට සනීපයක් දැනෙනවා, I started camp six weeks ago. ඉතා වැදගත්, I’m very healthy. Psychologically, I’m looking forward to becoming a world champion on අප්රේල් 30.
“I respect Badou Jack. He is a great champion, විශාල ප්රහාරක, නමුත් මත අප්රේල් 30, I will become a world champion again. I’m looking forward to it.
“I will be the new champion. I am very confident. මම එය ඉතා දුෂ්කර සටන බලාපොරොත්තු, but I am coming here to win.
“I have a new team. They are changing some things in my work. My confidence is 100 සියයට. I’m working every day very tough and I am confident that everything will be great for අප්රේල් 30.”
ෆ්ලොයිඩ් MAYWEATHER, Mayweather ප්රවර්ධන ජනාධිපති
“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 සියයට.
“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, ඔහු විශාල ප්රහාරක. 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 අප්රේල් 30.”
ස්ටීවන් ESPINOZA, Executive VP & සමාන්යාධිකාරී, මේ සඟරාව ක්රීඩා
“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.”

(අප්රේල් 4, 2016) – Always tough පැට්රික් “Punisher” හයිලන්ඩ් (31-1, 15 Kos) will be fighting for Irish boxing history සෙනසුරාදා, අප්රේල් 16 as he challenges WBC Featherweight World Champion ගැරී රසල් ජෙර. (26-1, 15 Kos) 12 වටයේ ප්රධාන උත්සවය තුළ, airing live on ප්රදර්ශණ කාලය Mashantucket දී Foxwoods රිසෝට් කැසිනෝ සිට, සී.ටී..
මෙම මේ සඟරාව තරගාවලියේ බොක්සිං® telecast kicks off at 11 ප.ව.. සහ/8 ප.ව.. PT with undefeated IBF Super Lightweight World Champion ජෝස් “Sniper” Pedraza (21-0, 12 Kos), Cidra පිළිබඳ, පෝටෝ රිකෝ, defending against mandatory challenger ස්ටීවන් “Swifty” ස්මිත් (23-1, 13 Kos), 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 වසර, since Hall-of-Famer බැරී “The Clones Cyclone” McGuigan, in addition to being only the second Irishman – Wayne “The Pocket Rocket” McCullough stands alone right now– to ever wear the coveted green WBC world title belt.
McGuigan (32-3, 28 Kos), 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 හා Danilio Cabrera before losing by decision to Steve Cruz දී 1986.
The only other Ireland-born world featherweight titlist was Dave Sullivan (27-12-7, 18 Kos), who was born in Knocknanaff, County Cork, අයර්ලන්තය, but fought professionally out of Boston, ජනමාධ්ය. දී 1898, Sullivan stopped Solly Smith in the fifth round to become world featherweight champion.
බෙල්ෆාස්ට්, Northern Ireland-product McCullough (27-7, 18 Kos), 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, ඉතා වැදගත්, for my (නැසීගිය) 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 Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi.
“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. අවාසනාවකට මෙන්, 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.”

වාර්තාව සටන්: Churcher KOs Horvath To Secure WBF title as Herbert Shines In Wales

ඒ ප්රකාශය කරන්නේ මාරයාය

Lee Churcher pulled out a sensational against the odds victory over Hungarian Balazs Horvath සෙනසුරාදා 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, කිසිවක්, 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.

 

What a cracking fight, 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.
