ANAHEIM, Kalifornia. (Helmikuu 9, 2016) – Hard-hitting Mexican warriors Heinäkuu Ceja (30-1, 27 KOs) ja Hugo Ruiz(35-3, 31 KOs) engaged in a memorable back-and-forth battle for the WBC 122-pound world title last August and they are eager to meet in the ring again to deliver another explosive fight. The eagerly awaited return bout is part of a tripleheader on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® elää Showtime® (10 p.m. JA/7 p.m. PT) from Honda Center in Anaheim, Kalifornia.
Headlining the event is undefeated featherweight world champion Leo Santa Cruz in his first title defense against former champ Kiko Martinez. Rounding out the televised tripleheader is a 10-round fight betweenundefeatedheavyweights Gerald Washington ja Oscar Rivas.
Ceja recovered from a third-round knockdown to claim world title glory with a fifth-round stoppage of Ruiz, and he has promised once again to leave the fans thrilled.
One thing I can tell you, is that this fight will be as exciting as the first one,” said Ceja. “You don’t want to miss it. War is coming.
When Ceja and Ruiz clashed in Los Angeles last August, it was the U.S. debut for both and was also on a card headlined by Santa Cruz.
I knew it was a big step up in my career to get a fight in the U.S.,said Ruiz, “It was very emotional to be fighting in front of so many Mexican fans on such an important card.
In an excellent two-way matchup contested in the middle of the ring, Ceja and Ruiz combined to throw 373 power punches in just five rounds, with Ceja benefiting from a 96-67 etu lyönteissä laskeutui. It was the sharp-shooting Ruiz who struck the first big blow of the match however, as he caught a lunging Ceja with a perfect left hook that put him down with just under a minute left in the third round.
He definitely hurt me with that punch,” said Ceja. “I went straight into his hand and to the floor. But thanks to my great conditioning, I recovered fast. I train in the altitude in Mexico and that gives me the strength to fight 15 kierrosta. I’m working just as hard this camp.
I feel like I have the advantage in speed and power,” said Ruiz. “I was looking for the knockout from the beginning and I will do that again on Helmikuu 27.”
Showing little effect from the knockdown, Ceja made it through the third and had a solid fourth round against the lanky Ruiz. He began to work effectively inside the long reach of Ruiz and buzz him with left hooks and uppercuts. It was a perfectly timed left hook with 58 seconds remaining in the fifth round that put Ruiz down. Ruiz made it to his feet, but Ceja continued to batter him with both hands until the referee, Raul Caiz Sr., stepped in and stopped the fight at 2:34 pyöreään.
Ceja came into the fight very aggressively and he put just the right amount of pressure on me,” said Ruiz. “This defeat is behind me now, but I did gain experience from the defeat that I will take into this fight.
Both men know that there is plenty of work to be done in training camp.
There is no way to get into a comfort zone against Ruiz,” said Ceja. “Just because I beat him, it doesn’t make this fight easier. He’s smart, experienced and he won’t make the same mistakes again. He’s a guy who works distances perfectly and knows when to attack. We made mistakes in the first fight that we’re going to fix.
I’m working on my defense and on putting more pressure on him throughout this fight,” said Ruiz. “I have to be aware of his left hand. The hook hurt me last time so I have been working on getting my right hand up to block it. I have to use my skills to be victorious.
With a world title on the line once again, expect similar fireworks when these two proud Mexican sluggers share the ring in Anaheim.
I want all my Mexican fans to come out and watch this fight, you will not regret it,” said Ceja. “I want to keep my belt for a long time and I want the fans to remember my name.
This is going to be another very explosive fight,” said Ruiz. “Expect a lot of punches, but this time I will be walking out a world champion.

Khan Stops Quaye To Secure WBU Crown

Lauantaina yö, Great Britain’s Tasif Khan secured both the World Boxing Union (WBU) and Global Boxing Union (GBU) World Super Flyweight Championships at the Cedar Court Hotel in his hometown of Bradford in the United Kingdom.

 

Kaani, who only returned to the sport, following a two year sabbatical, just over twelve months ago, put in the performance of his career, in front of a pack house that included a number of British star boxers, such as interim WBA World Lightweight Champion Derry Mathews and former British, Commonwealth, European and WBC World Champion Junior Witter as well as various local dignitaries such as the Mayor of Bradford and local MP Imran Hussain.

 

Khan also received support from the British Army, who turned out in force to watch their man being lead to the ring by the band of the Yorkshire Regiment.

 

After a slow first round, during which both combatants barely threw a shot in anger, Khan proceeded to utterly dominated Accra, Ghana’s Isaac Quaye from the second stanza right through to the sensational sixth round, during which Khan really stepped up the pace and sent the Ghanaian to the canvas three times in very short succession, the last of which was a perfect right to the chin that sent Quaye crashing backwards and prostrate on the canvas in such a spectacular manner that the Ghanaian’s corner-man immediately jumped into the ring before referee Lee Murtagh had barely started the count. NB. Quaye was perfectly fine albeit a little dazed after rising.

 

Following the bout a clearly elated Khan spoke briefly.

 

“This is the greatest day of my life, it’s a dream come true and to be crowned World Champion in front of my home crowd really is the cherry on top.

 

I have to say a big thank you to Isaac (Quaye), he’s a great fighter and it couldn’t have been easy for him to walk into the Lion’s Den with such a partisan crowd shouting out their support for me.

 

Also have to say a big thank you to Stephen (Vaughan) and his team for putting on such a great show for the fans and for believing in me, the same to Rio (WBU Europe President & MBC Vice President Gianluca Di Caro) for giving me the chance to box again and more importantly to fight for the WBU title, I’ve always wanted a WBU belt around my waist ever since watching Ricky Hatton win it when I was just a teen.

 

Huge thanks as well to GBU President Juergen Lutz for allowing me to fight for his title also.

 

Finally I’d also like to thank all my fantastic fans that turned out to support me tonight, as well as the Mayor of Bradford and my local MP Imran Hussain for their support, and last but definitely not least my sponsors; Broadway Solicitors Oldham, Kingsland Business Recovery, Vista Gym Benidorm and 3X Sports, as without you guys I could never have achieved my dream – thank you all so much”

Nicaraguan Cristofer Rosales Rapidly Rising in Light Flyweight Division

MANAGUA, Nicaragua (Helmikuu 8, 2016) – Nicaraguan light flyweight world title contender CristoferEl Latigo (The Whip) Rosales is fighting out from the long shadows cast by his famous cousin, Roomalainen “Chocolatito” Gonzalez, professional boxing’s new pound-for-pound king.
Rosales (17-2, 13 KOs) headlined a show, promoted by promoter Marcelo Sanchez‘ Pinolero Nyrkkeily, last Saturday night in Managua. He recaptured the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) Fedecentro light flyweight title that he held in 2014 but never defended, kukistamalla Ulises Martin (9-2-1) by way of a ninth-round technical; knockout for his seventh consecutive victory.
This young man just loves to fight and he is a joy to work with,” Pinolero Nyrkkeily tiedottaja Michael Schmidt kommentoi. “He has been extremely active with 19 fights in less than three years as a professional boxer. With his stablemate, Bryon Rojas, taistelut (WBA Super world minimumweight champion) Hekkie Bulder next month (Meri. 19), representing the fourth Pinolero Boxing fighter to challenge for a world title in the past year, it is fair to say that Rosales is highly motivated knowing he has a promoter able to put him in position to challenge for a world title shortly.
The 21-year-old Rosales, also the reigning Nicaraguan light flyweight champion, is currently world rated at No. 7 mukaan World Boxing Council (WBC), sekä Ei. 10 Maailman Boxing Organization (WBO), ja o. 12 mukaan WBA.
A slick boxer who can also crack, evident by his 13 reiät 17 pro victories, Rosales is closing in on his first world title shot against Japanese world champions Yu Kimura (WBC) ja Ryoichi Taguchi(WBA), or Filipino Donnie Nietes (WBO).

Undefeated prospect Toka Kahn-Clary Returns to ring this Saturday night vs. Gabino Cota in Studio City, Kalifornia

Top Rank

CRANSTON, RI(Helmikuu 8, 2016) – Rising super featherweight star Toka “T-Nizza” Kahn-Clary(17-0, 11 KOs) returns to action this Saturday night against Mexican opponent Gabino “Salama” Cota (18-5-1, 16 KOs) at Sportsman Lodge in Studio City, Kalifornia.

A decorated American amateur boxer (131-11 ennätys), his career highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 Kansallinen Golden Käsineet Tournament, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 US-. Olympic Boxing Team, kääntämällä pro kolme vuotta sitten.
Kahn-Clary’s impressive second-round stoppage of Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-10-1, 13 KOs) last November was supposed to lead him graduating to a 10-round fighter. His promoter Top Rank’s show lauantaina, pääesiintyjänä Alex Saucedo vs. Clarence Booth, doesn’t have a single 10-round fight, in favor of three 8-rounders including Kahn-Clary vs. Cota.
That really doesn’t matter to me,” Kahn-Clary said. “I trained to beat this guy, not how many rounds. I’m a lot better fighter than I was a year ago. I’m a lot more relaxed in the ring. I think more as I’m moving in the ring, adjusting a lot better, and my combinations are coming out a lot better.
A former WBC FECOMBOX and Mexican featherweight champion, Cota is a dangerous opponent who has knocked out 16 of 18 fighters he’s defeated as a professional.
Cota may have lost four of his last six but they were all title fights or on television against name opponents,” Kahn-Clary pään kouluttaja Peter Manfredo, Sr. huomattava. “He has some pop, throws a zillion punches and just keeps coming forward. This is a good step up for Toka.
Toka is ready for this fight. He’s had a lot of good sparring. Toka is aggressive, well-conditioned, a good defensive fighter who can crack. There wasn’t a 10-round fight available on this card but we wanted this fight. Toka’s still only 23 so there’s no reason to rush things.
Cota is battle tested having fought world title challengerJonathan Oquendo, Puerto Rican Olympian Orlando Cruzand Russian champion Andrey Klimov.
I like fighting guys that come to me like Cota,” Kahn-Clary remarked. “It makes my job easier. I can setup my punches and fights against guys like this aren’t as much as a chess match. I’ll be landing hard shots and fans like that better than a chess match.

(Former world champ Andre Berto with Denver Broncos Running Back Ronnie Hillman

See below for Super Bowl 50 predictions from PBC fighters:
Andre Berto: I’ve got the Panthers by a dime. Mies, that Broncosdefense is ferocious! I’ve never seen any team get after a guy like they got after Tom Brady. So how is my boy Cam Newton gonna handle them? Have you seen Cam run? He’s gonna run right over them.
Against the Patriots, that defense was allowed to be ferocious, but Cam won’t allow that. As for [Broncos running back] Ronnie Hillman, he’s my dude; he’s just gotta work on them hands a little bit.
Dominic Breazeale: I’ve got the Panthers winning, 35-21. Cam Newton is just having way too much fun, and at this point, I would have to say the guy is unstoppable.
Omar Douglas: I’m going with Panthers. Cam Newton has played great all season and almost went undefeated. He is not your average quarterback. He can throw the long ball or run it in for a touchdown. And on top of it all, he’s having fun. It’s hard to beat a guy like that!
Omar Figueroa Jr.: I don’t want to give a prediction. I love the Broncos like I love the San Antonio Spurs. But the Panthers are the Golden State Warriors of football right now. I see the Broncos having a really hard time keeping up.
Miguel Flores: Carolina has been smashing everyone, and Denver has been somewhat inconsistent. But after the Broncosmost recent games and their showing on defense, I will have to stick with the famous cliché: “Offense wins games, defense wins championships.
The Panthers have shown that they can be great offensively, but their defense hasn’t always been on point. So I’m going with the Broncos in a tight one.
Danny Garcia: I’m going with the Panthers. They’re rolling right now. They’ve got youth and energy, and they’ve got a lot of momentum going into the game. If they just stay focused and don’t party and get caught up [in the hype], they’ll win it.
Terrell Gausha: Panthers, because my bro that I went to high school with plays for Carolina: wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. Lisää, I think they are just that good.
Tony Harrison: Carolina Panthers all the way. As a former high school quarterback, I love what Cam is doing for the game. He’s amazing. Myös, many people don’t know but my younger cousin, Devin Funchess (pictured above with Harrison while at the University of Michigan), plays wide receiver for the Panthers. So I’m always going with family in any situation.
Julius Jackson: I’ve got the Broncos. They have a better system as far as demonstrating an ability to play as a cohesive unit. That’s what will give them the edge.
Jamal James: I’m gonna have to go with the Panthers, because Cam Newton has been handling business. Lisää, that team has kinda been an underdog. But every time people count them out, they come out and refuse to lose, which is something I respect and relate to.
Amir Khan: I would have to say that the Broncos have the veteran leadership in Peyton Manning and they’ve been there before, so they have the better overall experience. Mutta loppujen lopuksi, the youth and explosiveness of Cam Newton will win the day in what will be a hard-fought Panthers’ voitto.
Paulie Malignaggi: I’m going with the underdog Broncos. Maybe it’s just going with my heart, but I’m a Manning fan, mainly because his brother is the QB for my New York Giants, so I’m keeping it in the family.
Abner Mares: I’m taking the Panthers. Cam Newton has a style on and off the field that just dominates. It’s the Panthersyear, Cam is a tremendous leader and QB, and it’s time for a new dynasty to be born.
Shawn Porter: I think this is gonna be a great Super Bowl! It’s a very evenly matched game. Both teams are solid on both sides of the ball and have great quarterbacks. Peyton Manning is trying to solidify his status as an all-time great QB, and Cam Newton is trying to establish himself as a future great. I’m having a really hard time picking a winner, but personally I would love to see Cam Newton and the Panthers win.
Michael Tiivisteet: I’ve got to go with the Panthers. I’m gonna take Billy the Kid-Cam Newton-over the Old Deputy Sheriff, Peyton Manning.
Errol Spence Jr.: The Panthers will win because the Broncosdefense will not be able to contain or stop Cam Newton. And the Pantherspass defense is too good for a shell-of-himself Peyton Manning. I went to school with [Broncos defensive end] Von Miller, but I want Cam to win.
Antonio Tarver: It’s a destiny type of year for Cam Newton and the Panthers. I don’t think anyone is gonna stop them. While my heart is with Denver and the wise old veteran Peyton Manning-us old guys gotta stick together-I have to put my money on Cam and the Panthers.
All I pray for is to go out like Peyton Manning: attempting to win it all before I retire. But I have to say the Panthers will win.
Austin Trout: I’ve got the Panthers winning. They’re just playing with great team chemistry and great leadership in Cam Newton. But I’m still J-E-T-S till I D-I-E.
Sammy Vasquez Jr.: It’s simple: Panthers all day. They’ve been on fire. Cam Newton deserves it now after putting in the years with the team and all the hard work. They work together as a team, and that’s a great part of being successful.
Deontay Wilder: I like the Panthers because Cam Newton is just on a different level, a force to be reckoned with.
Thomas Williams Jr.: I’m taking the Broncos simply because of the experience factor. Cam Newton’s year has been phenomenal; he is an MVP for sure. But I think Peyton Manning’s postseason and all-around experience will outweigh Cam’s magic.
This will be just another walk in the park for Manning, who has been in the tougher, more grueling games over the course of his career.
Final tally: Panthers 17, Broncos 4.

KILPAILUA

Kirjailija: Steve Farhood

Nyrkkeily ilman kilpailua olisi kuin vaalit ilman keskustelua.

Kilpailu on luonnollista, varsinkin nyrkkeilyssä. Kuka on naapuruston paras mahdollinen?

Kuka on Meksikon paras bantamweight? Kuka on paras taistelija koko maailmassa?

Fanit haluavat tietää, ja niin tekevät myös taistelijat, varsinkin jos kahdenkeskinen ottelu antaa todennäköisesti lopullisen vastauksen.

Paras esimerkki tulee historian parhaasta kilpailusta, urheilusta riippumatta: Kun Muhammad Ali ja Joe Frazier ottivat yhteen kumiottelussaan Manilassa, he taistelivat jostakin paljon suuremmasta kuin raskaansarjan maailmanmestaruudesta. He taistelivat toistensa mestaruudesta.

Ali-Frazier … Robinson-LaMotta … Louis Schmeling … Barrera-Morales … Mayweather-Pacquiao … Pep-Saddler … Leonard-Duran… Holyfield-Tyson: Nyrkkeilyn historia on kerrottu sen mehukkaimpien kilpailujen kautta.

Sisään 30 vuosien ikimuistoisia taistelijoita ja unohtumattomia taisteluita, SHOWTIME-nyrkkeilyn historia voidaan kertoa suurelta osin myös sen kilpailujen kautta.

Showtime EXTREME, keskitymme erityisesti kahteen kilpailuun: Rafael Marquez-Israel Vazquez ja Paulie Ayala-Johnny Tapia.

Marquez-Vazquez on tasavertainen kaikkien lähihistorian parien kanssa. Taistelut olivat niin vakuuttavia, Kilpailu oli niin kuluttavaa, että monet fanit eivät voi kertoa sinulle, mitä lopullinen tulostaulu luki. Sillä ei ollut niin väliä.

(Sopivasti, taistelijat jakoivat neljä ottelua.)

Mikä teki Marquez-Vazquezista erilaisen kuin useimmat kilpailut: Ne määriteltiin enemmän samankaltaisuuksien kuin erojen perusteella. Useimmissa kilpailuissa on jyrkkä kontrasti. Ajattele Borg-McEnroeta. Tai Bird-Magic. Tai Evert-Navratilova. Mutta Marquez ja Vazquez olivat molemmat tasokkaita mestareita Meksikosta, jotka tarvitsivat toisiaan nostamaan profiiliaan ja kaikkien aikojen sijoituksiaan..

He eivät antaneet meille roskapuhetta, ei postausta, ei vihaa, todellista tai kuviteltua. Sen sijaan, he löivät ja vuotivat verta ja taistelivat ylpeänä ja korkeimmalla tasolla. Ja heidän luoman klassisen rengasdraaman vuoksi, se oli enemmän kuin tarpeeksi.

Riittää, kun sanotaan, että kaksi heidän ottelustaan ​​valittiin Vuoden taisteluksi. Ja Marquez-Vazquez III oli varmasti yksi parhaista live-otteluistani 37 vuotta nyrkkeilyssä.

Se oli hieman erilainen Ayalan ja Tapian kanssa. Kun he taistelivat ensimmäisen kerran, Ayala ei ollut tuttu nimi. Tapia, toisaalta, oli voittamaton ja pitkään hallinnut mestari, jolla oli ainutlaatuinen persoonallisuus ja erottuva kehäpersoona.

Sopiva kilpailija on juuri se, mitä Tapia tarvitsi ymmärtääkseen täysin potentiaalin, jonka tunsimme, kun hän voitti vahvasti New Mexicon -kilpailijan Danny Romeron kaksi vuotta aiemmin..

Pari kiistanalaista päätöstä, uusintaottelua edeltäneitä neuvotteluja leimannut kiista, ja Tapian raaka tunne teki Ayala-Tapiasta erityisen katkeran kilpailun.

Se oli myös ikimuistoinen kilpailu.
