NEW YORK, – Septembrie 9, 2020 – Former unified super bantamweight champion Danny Roman anticipates an action packed showdown as he previewed his upcoming WBC super bantamweight title eliminator bout against former world champion Juan Carlos Payano taking place Saturday, Septembrie 26 in part two of a first-of-its-kind SHOWTIME PPV doubleheader presented by Premier Boxing Champions.


“Payano is one of the toughest and roughest fighters in the division,” said Roman. “His only losses are to elite fighters. This fight will be all action because Payano likes to mix it up, ca nu am. The fans will get to see two warriors going at it as I’m fully prepared for a grueling fight. This will be an explosive twelve-round battle, and that’s if it goes the distance, which I highly doubt.”


Roman and his longtime trainer Eddie Gonzalez have prepared for the Payano fight at the Fundamentals Gym in Los Angeles, studying their opponent and aiming to put on an impressive performance on September 26.


“It’s been a very productive training camp thus far,” said Roman. “We’ve been going strong, but smart, since early August. Coach Eddie has been studying Payano and we see some flaws in his game that we feel we can capitalize on. I’m in great shape and its full steam ahead for Payano showdown.”


The Los Angeles-native Roman will return to the ring for the first time since dropping a narrow split-decision, and his super bantamweight titles, to Murodjon Akhmadaliev in January. Roman knows that with a win in this title eliminator, he will be in a prime position to regain his status in the division.


“A victory will put me right back on the doorstep for a world title,” said Roman. “I feel that I’m still one of the best fighters at super bantamweight, but I must get past Payano. There are so many big fights at super bantamweight, because this division is one of the deepest in boxing. My mind is set on becoming a world champion again, and a victory against Payano will bring me closer to that goal.”

Septembrie 26 doubleheader is stacked with champions and top talent in the 122-pound division, presenting an abundance of opportunities for Roman should he emerge victorious. The 30-year-old relishes the opportunities in front of him to fight for the top spot at super bantamweight.

“I’m excited about this next chapter of my career with PBC and fighting on SHOWTIME®,” said Roman. “I know there will be a lot of big fights that can be made, and I want to thank my promoter Thompson Boxing for always believing in me. La sfârșitul zilei, I’m an entertainer and I want to give the fans great fights.”

The unprecedented pay-per-view twin bill features six compelling fights in all, five of which are world title fights, on the same night for one price. Part one of the SHOWTIME PPV telecast begins live at a special time of 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT with the three-fight card topped by unbeaten WBC Champion Jermall Charlo facing top contender Sergiy Derevyanchenko. WBA Super Bantamweight Champion Brandon Figueroa will defend his title against 122-pound contender Damien Vázquez in the co-featured bout, while WBO Bantamweight World Champion John Riel Casimero faces off against unbeaten Duke Micah in the pay-per-view opener.


Following a 30-minute intermission, the second three-fight card, headlined by the historic unification matchup between WBC Super Welterweight ChampionJermell Charlo and IBF and WBA 154-pound champion Jeison Rosario, will begin. Fost campion neînvins Luis Nery va lupta neînvinsAaron Alameda pentru Campionatul Mondial WBC Super Bantamweight în co-caracteristică, în timp ce fost campion unificat Román se confruntă cu fostul campion Payano într-un meci de eliminare a titlului WBC Super Bantamweight pentru a deschide a doua tranșă a pay-per-view.

Lasă un comentariu
On Monday, Septembrie 21, 2020, co-promoters Paco Presents and Fabrica De Campeones will proudly present “SANTIAGO VS. GARCIA” a five-fight night of world-class professional boxing, livestreamed from Tijuana, Baja California, Mexic, pe FITE.TV (9 pm ET/6 pm PT) for just $6.99.

În evenimentul principal 10-a rundă, WBC #8 bantamweight contender Alejandro “Peque” Santiago (21-2-5, 11 KO) will return to his home base of Tijuana to defend his WBC International Bantamweight Championship against streaking contender Willibaldo Garcia (10-3-1, 5 KO) of Copala, Războinic, Mexic.


24-year-old Santiago has not lost a fight since 2014 (merge 13-0-4, 7 KO) and has made a career out of surprising his favored opponents, often in their backyards. The skillful Santiago first came on the boxing radar by battling to a 10-round draw with then undefeated prospect Antonio Nieves for the NABO Championship. Fighting live on ShoBox: Noua generatie, Santiago took control over the back half of the fight and many say deserved the decision.


De atunci, he has fought to two controversial draws against highly touted Puerto Rican Jose Martinez (both fights in Martinez’s backyard of Puerto Rico), the second for the NABO Super Flyweight Championship.


In Septembrie 2018, Santiago had his most impressive performance to date by again fighting to a highly controversial draw, this time against long-time reigning and defending IBF Super Flyweight World Champion Jerwin Ancajas. Many boxing insiders who have watched the fight feel Santiago is now the uncrowned world champion, with one judge even scoring the fight 118-111 for Santiago.


Santiago knows that he has to keep winning while he bides his time for a much-deserved rematch against Ancajas or another world-title opportunity at bantamweight.


“I am very excited to make my first defense of the WBC International Bantamweight Title,” said Santiago. “I know my opponent is very tough and I know he is preparing for the opportunity of a lifetime. Îmi place asta! That way there will be no excuses. I have had a great camp and I am ready! There are only two weeks till the fight, and I can hardly wait to prove why I am ranked eighth in the world by the WBC!"

After winning his pro debut, Garcia went a disappointing 0-3-0 (1 NC) in his next four, before turning things around and going 9-0-1 (4 KO), including an impressive unanimous decision over former world title challenger Dewayne Beamon in his last fight in February of this year.


“I know that this is the opportunity of a lifetime,” a spus Garcia. “Winning will open doors for me. Camp este merge grozav! I have had some great sparring and I am in the best shape of my life! I hope Santiago is ready because this is going to be a war! I am going to make him fight for the entire fight! His promoter made a big mistake giving me over two months to prepare and I already told him that I am going to knock him out!"


In the night’s 10-round co-main event, popular hometown veteran Victor “Chucky” Sandoval (33-3, 21 KO) will take on fellow Mexican Kevin “Desvalagado” Villanueva (16-2-3, 12 KO) for the WBC International Super Flyweight Championship.


23-year-old Sandoval, already a seven-year professional veteran, is a fan favorite in his hometown of Tijuana. “Chucky” has won 21 straight fights, dating back to 2016. He was last seen scoring an eighth-round stoppage of countryman Javier Alejandro Rendon (apoi 10-3-3) in November of last year.


“I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity,” said Sandoval. “I know that it is going to be an incredibly good fight because I have a high-quality opponent. We are preparing very strongly for this fight, despite the challenges since most gyms have been closed. I like to box, show my skills however I also like to brawl. I am preparing to give the fans a great fight and come out victorious!"


20-year-old Villanueva, from Guasave, Sinaloa, has lost just one fight in his last 16. A strong puncher with an aggressive style. Deoarece cotitură pro în 2017, Villanueva has fought exclusively in Mexico, but hopes to use a victory over Sandoval as a steppingstone to the international stage.


“I am ecstatic for this opportunity,” said Villanueva. “It means a giant step forward in my career. We are working extremely hard and I have a trainer that pushes me to the limit. Come September 21, I will be ready to give and take, and there is no doubt in my mind that I will come out on top! He has a great record, but he hasn’t fought anyone at my level. My objective is to become a world champion.”


Also scheduled for action that night is a fantastic early crossroads fight between up-and-coming Mexican prospects as the ever-improving Cristian “Lacandonsito” Cruz (12-5, 6 KO), the son of former IBO and IBF Featherweight Champion Cristóbal “Lacandón” Cruz, will face once-beaten Diego “FlaKO” Aleman (12-1-1, 8 KO) in an eight-round super featherweight war. Această luptă, between all-action battlers, has potential “Fight of the Night” written all over it.


“I am focused and ready for this fight,” said Cristian Cruz. “My opponent has been in the ring with some good fighters, but so have I. When I heard my opponents name, I got very motivated because I know this is going to be one of my most difficult fights yet.”
To open the broadcast, Tijuana’s Gilberto Espinoza (11-2, 6 KO) will take on Ensenada’s power-punching Saul Guardado (8-1, 7 KO) in a highly competitive six-round lightweight brawl and to open the show, two undefeated flyweights will do battle for four rounds, as Los Mochis, Sinaloa’s Bryan Luna (5-0, 3 KO) will face Ensenada’s Felipe Ayon (1-0-1, 1 KO).

I have that mindset so I can take advantage of any opportunity that comes my way. My opponent is a good fighter, but on September 19, tune in and watch me go to war. The world will get to know who I am. I’m going to give 100 la sută. I can do anything in the ring, and I will show it on fight night.”

The 33-year-old has battled a slew of top welterweights throughout his career, including Jamal James and Egidijus Kavaliauskas, while also earning a TKO victory over Jesus Soto-Karass. Abreu has never been stopped.

I am having a great camp and I am excited and motivated by this opportunity. It is clear to me that this is a do-or-die fight for me, and therefore, come September 19, I am preparing mentally and physically to leave everything in that ring.”

Nery nu a putut participa la apel din cauza unor probleme tehnice.

Iată ce au avut de spus marți participanții la conferința de presă virtuală:

JERMELL Charlo:

„Sunt mai puternic și mai rapid decât am fost vreodată. Tabăra a fost uimitoare. Nu-mi vine să cred că m-am format atât de repede, dar chiar nu am ieșit niciodată din formă. Fac investiții în mine și îmi fac temele.

„Felicitări Rosario pentru că a avut șansa de a trece la acest nivel. Dar știu ce posed în ring atunci când aleg să-mi dau drumul. Sunt mai pregătit pentru această luptă decât orice luptă pe care am avut-o vreodată.

„Moștenirea mea este pe linie. Îmi hrănesc familia așa. Nu este vorba despre ceea ce vom spune. Nu este un secret despre cum lupt. Sunt periculos și mă simt și mai periculos acum. Sunt încântat să plec 12 runde. Capacitatea și abilitățile mele depășesc pe toți acești tipi din divizie. Acum sunt mult mai înfometat. Focul a fost aprins în mine.

„O mulțime de oameni au fost surprinși că Jeison a câștigat împotriva lui Julian Williams, dar de fapt nu am fost. Williams avea de-a face cu multe. Dar eu sunt un alt tip de luptător. Dedicarea mea este diferită de toată lumea.

„Eu și fratele meu am fost întotdeauna îndoieli. Pe măsură ce mă maturizez, Nu-mi pasă de ce spune cineva din exterior. Nu-mi pasă cine face clasamentul. Treaba mea este să boxez. A fost odată hobby-ul meu. Am făcut asta pentru totdeauna și am crescut în asta. Sunt un alt animal. La fel cum Rosario trebuia să urce la niveluri, Am făcut și asta. Mă mențin acolo unde sunt, datorită muncii mele grele și a modului în care lupt. Tot ce trebuie să faci este să mă pui acolo și voi merge să-l iau pentru tine.

„Cred că ultimele mele două lupte și stilurile diferite pe care le-a avut Tony Harrison m-au ajutat. Tony este un mare luptător. Te uiți la palmaresul lui și știi că poate să dea cu pumnul, dar eu sunt diferit. Asta m-a determinat să ieșesc pe primul loc și am încheiat prima luptă. Experiența pe care am avut-o în acele lupte îmi va oferi și mai mult avantaj în această luptă.

„Sunt atât de multe lucruri pe care le fac să mă cred că sunt cel mai bun din divizie. Pot continua și continua, dar sunt un leu în cușcă, dă-mi drumul să văd ce se întâmplă.

„Sunt puternic de la primul tur până la final. Dacă merge la 12, apoi merge atât de departe. Sunt deștept și știu să pregătesc capcane. Nu voi dezvălui planul de joc, dar nu mă joc în ring. ”

JEISON ROSARIO:

„Acesta va fi un mare război. Sunt dedicat și motivat pentru această luptă și știu ce înseamnă să te confrunți cu un luptător de calitate Jermell, deci antrenamentul a mers excelent. Sunt atât de gata.

„Sunt și mai înfometat acum decât eram înainte să câștig titlurile. Sunt mai motivat. Dorința din mine și focul din mine arde pentru a câștiga această luptă împotriva unui mare luptător din Jermell Charlo. Cum spun poporul dominican, „Trebuie să continuăm să mergem înainte” și asta intenționez să fac în această luptă.

„Jermell Charlo și Julian Williams sunt cu siguranță două tipuri diferite de luptători. Cred că Williams are ceva mai multă rapiditate, dar Jermell este cu siguranță mai puternic și are mai multă putere. De aceea a trebuit să mă pregătesc puțin diferit pentru această luptă. În ceea ce privește cine simt că este cel mai bun luptător - nu vreau să iau nimic de la niciun tip. Williams a fost un mare luptător și a fost considerat Nu. 1 când m-am luptat cu el, care este acum aceeași poziție în care se află Jermell Charlo. Amândoi au meritele lor, dar nu aș spune care este cel mai bun luptător. Jermell este considerat cel mai bun luptător de la 154 chiar acum.

„Un lucru care sa schimbat de la pierderea mea față de Nathaniel Gallimore în 2017 este maturitatea mea. Pe măsură ce luptele devin mai mari și mai importante, Cu siguranță am intensificat ocazia și provocarea. Mă antrenez mai greu și se concentrează mai mult asupra acestei lupte.

„Această luptă înseamnă foarte mult pentru mine. Este cu siguranță cea mai importantă luptă din cariera mea și sunt foarte recunoscător. Îi mulțumesc antrenorului meu și pentru această oportunitate care mi-a fost dată de a lupta cu cel mai bun luptător din divizie. Acesta este un moment minunat și unii oameni cred că nu voi câștiga. Știu că va fi electric.

„Consider că acesta este timpul meu. Imperiile cad. Președinții cad. Regatele cad. Totul este foarte interesant, deoarece sub marca Charlo, ai leul și ai vânătorul și toate astea. Dar în timpul luptei, veți afla cine este cu adevărat vânătorul. Sunt un războinic și vom vedea în acea noapte cine este cu adevărat vânătorul și cine este cel care va fi vânat ".

AARON ALAMEDA:

„Ne-am antrenat foarte greu și știm că avem un adversar dur în Luis Nery, dar suntem pregătiți pentru el.

„Cu toată sinceritatea, poate că numele pe care le vedeți pe hârtie cu care m-am confruntat nu sunt în clasa lui Nery, dar când mă vezi în septembrie 26, vei ști din ce sunt făcută.

„Este adevărat că Nery a mai avut probleme cu greutatea, dar asta este problema lui. Dacă face greutate sau dacă nu, Nu mă deranjează asta. Sunt concentrat pe ceea ce trebuie să fac în septembrie 26, așa că nu m-am concentrat cu adevărat asupra faptului dacă va face greutate. Eu sunt cel care va fi gata.

„Acesta este cu siguranță un progres pentru mine, nu negăm asta. Dar strategic, am lucrat la anumite lucruri despre care știm că vor ajuta să vină noaptea de luptă. Am văzut o mulțime de videoclipuri despre Luis Nery și am aflat cum trebuie să abordăm această luptă. Am văzut câteva lucruri pe care le putem face și asta vom face în septembrie 26.

„Au fost câțiva adversari pe care i-am luptat, care au fost dificili, dar unul în special a fost [Enrique] Gâște în Guadalajara. Lupta în orașul său natal și își avea oamenii în spate, dar noi am câștigat încă acea luptă. Persoana care m-a lovit cel mai tare? Numele lui a fost [Juan] Jimenez, și încă am depășit puterea pe care a arătat-o ​​în acea noapte pentru a câștiga.

„Am luptat cu câțiva southpaws în cariera mea și de fapt mă simt mai bine împotriva southpaws decât mă lupt împotriva luptătorilor ortodocși.

„Nu există nicio îndoială că Nery este un pumn puternic, dar trebuie să vedem cum va ieși - dacă va ieși la box sau dacă va căuta imediat knockout-ul. Avem o strategie pentru orice fel de ieșire. Vom fi gata pentru asta. ”

DANIEL ROMAN:

„Totul merge excelent la antrenament. Am făcut unele ajustări din cauza pandemiei, dar voi fi la maximum în septembrie 26. Suntem doi foști campioni, deci aceasta va fi o luptă de calitate. Vom încerca să ne transformăm în noaptea noastră.

„Scopul este de a reveni la titlul mondial, dar nu trec cu vederea Payano. Este un luptător de calitate. Trebuie să trecem de el și apoi sperăm că vom putea revanșa cu Murodjon Akhmadaliev.

„Payano a pierdut în fața unor nume mari și luptători de calitate. Orice se poate întâmpla într-o luptă, așa că mă pregătesc pentru orice. Sunt pregătit să lupt cu cel mai bun Payano posibil. Nu-l iau ușor. Este ca și cum aș apăra centura împotriva unui alt campion mondial.

„Sunt mai concentrat ca niciodată acum. Nu credeam că mi-am pierdut ultima luptă, Am crezut că am luat-o. Acum mintea mea este pusă pe Payano, așa că continuăm să lucrăm la fel de mult ca atunci când eram campion. Este un pas la rând. Mai întâi este Payano, apoi vom vedea după aceea.

„Pierderea titlurilor mele m-a motivat și mai mult. Știu care este următorul meu obiectiv. Nu trec cu vederea Payano, dar urmăresc să obțin revanșa respectivă ”.

JUAN CARLOS Payano:

„Cu siguranță îl respectăm pe Danny Roman. E un mare luptător, dar aceasta este oportunitatea unei vieți. Ne-am antrenat din greu și veți vedea cel mai bun din Payano pentru această luptă.

„Am comis erori în cele două lupte pe care le-am pierdut în fața lui Inoue și Nery, unde m-au dus, dar am venit pregătiți știind că luptăm cu un alt luptător bun în Danny Roman și ne-am pregătit cu adevărat pentru a nu se întâmpla. din nou. Învățați din erorile dvs. în aceste lupte, așa că de aceea când ies, veți vedea un alt Juan Carlos Payano în septembrie 26.

„Întotdeauna am luptat din greu în toate luptele mele, dar mai ales aceasta pentru că ne uităm la sfârșitul carierei mele. Știu că am nevoie de o prezentare grozavă pentru fani, deci există cu siguranță o urgență suplimentară pentru a arăta ce e mai bun din mine.

„Un boxer nu dezvăluie niciodată ce va aduce în ring, dar cu siguranță voi fi mai precis. Ceea ce nu am avut în cele două pierderi ale mele. Nu pot fi prea disperat. Am constatat că eram disperat în acele două lupte când aș fi putut fi mai precis și să fac o treabă mai bună în acele aspecte ale luptei.

„Am boxat de când aveam șase ani și mi-am dat viața boxului. A fost o cursă grozavă. Îl respect enorm pe Danny Roman și oamenii se pot aștepta ca doi războinici să intre în ring în septembrie 26 și dă totul. Fanii știu că asta le dau întotdeauna și că noaptea aceea nu va diferi. ”

DERRICK JAMES, Trainer Charlo lui:

„Tabăra de antrenament a fost bună. Jermell a devenit din ce în ce mai bun. Am fost mulțumit de ceea ce văd și încă este devreme în cantonament. Vom continua să construim până la luptă. Știm că avem un tip foarte dur cu care ne confruntăm, dar cred că toată lumea cu care ne-am confruntat este dură. Mergem acolo pentru a fi la maxim.

„Cred că victoria ar fi frumoasă, dar nu mă gândesc ce ar face pentru mine. Cele mai bune lucruri este ceea ce ar însemna pentru Jermell să aibă trei curele. Este vorba despre moștenire. Este vorba despre o luptă de moștenire pentru Jermell și pentru mine.

„Rosario este un luptător bun. A avut o progresie treptată de când l-am privit luptându-se cu Justin DeLoach și apoi trecând la lupta cu Williams. Se îmbunătățește. Știm la ce ne uităm. Știm ca campion, s-ar putea să vină ca un luptător diferit. Deci trebuie să fim și mai buni. Este o provocare grozavă, dar așteptăm cu nerăbdare.

„Am văzut luptele lui Rosario înainte de Williams, așa că știam că va fi dur. Am fost surprins cum a scăzut deoarece Williams este un luptător puternic. Dar Rosario a arătat cu adevărat și a avut loviturile potrivite pentru al scoate de acolo. Ne așteptăm la un mare luptător pe 26 septembrie. ”

LUIS "CHIRO" PEREZ, Trainerul lui Rosario:

„Tabăra de antrenament a fost grozavă. Totul a mers exact așa cum am vrut și apoi ceva. Chiar și prin aceste vremuri, am reușit să facem toată tabăra de antrenament așa cum am dorit-o. Nu au existat obstacole.

„Jeison este mai puternic și mai inteligent ca niciodată. Așteptăm cu nerăbdare să arătăm că aparținem acestei competiții. Știm că este un ordin mare împotriva celui mai bun luptător de 154 de kilograme din lume, dar vrem poziția lui. El este omul din această categorie de greutate și vrem să dovedim lumii că aparținem la acel nivel.

„Jeison nu făcuse niciodată o adevărată tabără de antrenament în viața sa până de curând. S-a antrenat în orice fel ar putea să-și dea seama și ar lua multe lupte de ultim moment. Asta s-a schimbat pentru lupta lui Williams și asta s-a schimbat pentru această luptă. Tot ce a depășit, a terminat cu dorință. Acum face tabăra de antrenament adecvată și mănâncă în modul potrivit. Cred că trebuie să-l elimini pe Rosario pentru a-l bate. Septembrie 26, vom vedea dacă am dreptate. ”

STEPHEN Espinoza, Președintele, Programare sport și evenimente, Showtime Networks Inc.:

"De sus pana jos, acesta este cardul de cea mai înaltă calitate cu care am fost asociat vreodată. In ultimii ani, au existat o mulțime de companii noi și o mulțime de activitate în box și chiar cu toți banii, ofertele, companiile, și tot ce se presupune că aduc la masă, nimeni nu a făcut acest gen de evenimente. Nimeni altcineva nu face cărți la acest nivel — atât de mare și cu atât de multă calitate. Acesta este un eveniment pentru adevăratul fan al luptei. Campion mondial după campion mondial, o colecție a unora dintre cei mai buni luptători din lume, pe o singură carte. şase lupte, cinci dintre ele luptă pentru titlul mondial, totul pe un singur pay-per-view.

„Aceasta este o carte plină de banger. Cea care nu este o luptă pentru titlul mondial, the one between Danny Roman and Juan Carlos Payano, is a matchup between a former unified champion and a former world champion – so there’s no shortage of accomplishments there. You have unbeaten former champion Luis Nery, who is coming off a streak of 11 consecutive knockouts, moving up into a new weight class to take on undefeated Aaron Alameda. Our second main event of the evening, Jermell Charlo and Jeison Rosario, like the first one, is a matchup between the top two boxers currently fighting in the division. We don’t need exaggeration or hyperbole. Pur și simplu pune, this is the best fight that can be made in the super welterweight division.”

DERRY, N.H. (August 30, 2020) – Two regional title bouts, supported by several stay-busy fights, highlighted Granite Chin Promotion’s first pro boxing event since this past November, ‘Return to Derry,” last night (Sat., August. 29), in front of a near capacity crowd at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.

Two world champions were in attendance to support the fighters, undefeated reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) campion la categoria mijlocie Dimitrie “Boo Boo” Andrade și“Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera, pensionari 3-time, 2-division title holder.

“I’m glad that tonight we took as step forward towards normalcy,” promotor Chris Traietti comentat. Sports help to bring people together and tonight we had a packed house with people of all races, religions, and creeds. I’m happy these Americans enjoyed themselves here tonight.”

Justin “Crazy Train” Rolfe was crowned New England heavyweight champion by way of an 8-round unanimous decision over Tracey “Gigant” Johnson în evenimentul principal.

Rolfe vs. Johnson II was a rematch of a 6-round majority draw last November in Quincy, Massachusetts. A lot more was at stake in the rematch, deși, because the N.E. heavyweight title was on the line. Boston southpaw Johnson, the half-brother of Andrade, methodically boxed, while Maine-resident Rolfe came forward throwing bombs, and their contrast of styles made for a entertaining fight.

The elusive Johnson started finding his range in the fourth round, connecting with combinations as Rolfe appeared to tire, but he got his second wind and continued to be aggressive, often pinning Johnson on the ropes. The two evenly matched fighters went back and forth in the latter half of the fight, although Rolfe pressed the action and Johnson countered. Neither appeared to be hurt at any point during the bout., Both let loose in the eighth and final round, leaving nothing in the tank. Rolfe’s non-stop attack and turned out to be the difference in this match-up.

Ryan DiBartolomeo captured the vacant New Hampshire welterweight title, taking a 6-round split decision over Kris Jacobs, in the co-featured event. “I live in Massachusetts but all my fights (3-0-1) have been in New Hampshire and I train in Nashua (NH),” DiBartolomeo said after the fight. “Fighting in New Hampshire is like fighting at home and now I’m the New Hampshire welterweight champ.”

DiBartolemeo quickly came out of the corner and soon dropped Jacobs for an 8-count. Jacobs made it through the opening round, but he was unable to avoid the free-swinging DiBartolemeo’s strong right hand, peppering his opponents head, în runda a doua. Jacobs settled down in the third, picked-up the pace in the fourth, and started letting his hands go more in the fifth, landing more effectively on his aggressive foe. The two fighters went at it toe-to-toe in the final round and DiBartolemeo closed the show.

New England middleweight champion Kendrick Ball, Jr., fighting light heavyweight Tahuk Taylor, displayed his skill set to the maximum, blasting his opponent to the mat with a sweet straight right, again with a beautiful left hook, and he was about to close the show when refereeJackie Morell mercifully ended the fight with 13-seconds left in round one.

Popular junior welterweight Mike “Bad Man” OHan, Jr. did just about everything but stop gritty Dewayne Înțelepciunea, who was penalized two points and officially floored once. But he survived, albeit losing a lop-sided 6-round unanimous decision to Ohan.

New England de Aur Mănuși campion Francis “Frank The Tank” Hogan dismissed Rashan Wisdom, who went down on the canvas twice before his corner threw in the towel. Hogan is a tall, lanky southpaw who is well schooled and now 2-0 (2 KO).

In a spirited fight, grea lumina neînvinsă Edet “Papito” Mkpanam (4-0, 3 KO) was relentless against a game Saul “Spider” Almeida, one of the top mixed-martial-arts fighters in New England. Mkpanan dropped Almeida in the first two rounds on his way to a tough 4-round unanimous decision.

Promising Boston lightweight prospect Jonathan Depina outclassed Theo “The Unholy Truth” Desjardin, flooring him early and finishing him off soon after with a blistering shot, to improve to 2-0 (2 KO).

Mijlocie Anthony Concepcion won by way of a third-round disqualification when his opponent, pro-debutant Caleb Denham, ignored the referee’s instructions to continue fighting.

Mijlocie Larry “Slomoshun” Fierar, luptă din Dallas, recorded his first victory in more than nine years, taking a 4-round unanimous decision from Isus “The Juice” Cintron. The 41-year-old Smith, 0-39-2 during his winless streak, dropped Anderson in the first round.


Larry Smith celebrated after his first win in 9 an

Texas light heavyweight Bryan Vera knock-out Mike Anderson with a big right hand early in round one. Arbitru Leo Gerstel immediately waved off the count right after Anderson hit the mat. Vera, who is known for his participating in Contender reality show de televiziune, has defeated world champions Sergio Mora (de două ori), then-undefeated Andy Lee și Serhiy Dzinziruk during his 16-year pro career.

Veteran junior middleweight Cliff “Magician” McPherson had no tricks for Tyrone “Mâinile de piatră” Luckey because he was disqualified in the second round by referee Morrell for repeated holding.

Opening the night was a cruiserweight match between Larry “Hitman” Pryor și Francisco Neto. It didn’t take long for Pryor, whose cousin was the late, Hall of Famer Aaron “Hawk” Pryor, put down Neto with a nicely placed left hook. Neto beat the count but stood on wobbly legs, leading referee Gerstel to halt the fight at the 35-second mark of the opening round.

SUPERSTAR CLARESSA SHIELDS NAMED WOMEN’S BOXING #1 POUND-FOR-POUND BY THE RING AND ESPN

Lasă un comentariu
Women’s boxing superstar Claressa Shields has added two more impressive distinctions to her already unparalleled boxing career laurels.


25-year-old “T-Rex” Shields (10-0, 2 KO), currently the unified WBC and WBO World Female Super Welterweight and WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO Middleweight Champion, has been named #1 in both The Ring and ESPN’s inaugural pound-for-pound women’s rankings of the best female fighters in the world.


During an exciting renaissance for the sport, Shields was able to best a strong lineup of female fighters including Irish unified lightweight champion Katie Taylor, seven-division champ Amanda Serrano, Norway’s long-time undisputed queen Cecilia Braekhus and her recent conqueror Jessica McCaskill.


Among her many accomplishments, Shields is a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and the first American boxer – female or male – to win consecutive Olympic boxing gold medals. She became Unified Super Middleweight World Champion in her fourth professional fight, Unified Middleweight World Champion in her sixth professional fight and Unified Super Welterweight World Champion in her tenth. She also holds the record for becoming a two and three-weight world champion in the fewest professional fights and is one of only seven boxers in history, female or male, to hold all four major world titles in boxing—WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO—simultaneously.


“Claressa is the driving force for women’s boxing!” said her promoter, Dmitriy Salita of Salita Promotions. “I am happy to see that ESPN, the worldwide leader in sports, and the well-respected “Bible of Boxing” Ring Magazine unanimously and indisputably recognize Claressa’s incredible accomplishments as the best in the world.”


“I’m proud to see two more Herstoric achievements added to the unprecedented resume of Claressa Shields,” said her manager, Mark Taffet, President of Mark Taffet Media. “She continues her march toward equality for female boxers using her broad shoulders from both an athletic and a social perspective. I look forward to the day when she appears on the top pound-for-pound list among the men with no gender labels.”

Uncasville, Conn. - August 16, 2020 – David Benavidez kept his unbeaten record intact after 23 fights with a dominating performance against Alexis Angulo in the main event of an exciting night of boxing live on SHOWTIME Saturday night from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

În SHOWTIME Campionatul de box® tripleheader card, the 23-year-old Benavídez (23-0, 20 KO) – who lost his WBC world title belt on the scale on Friday – scored a stoppage victory against the former world title challenger Angulo (26-2, 22 KO), whose corner threw in the towel after the 10lea rotund.

“I rate myself a solid eight,” Benavidez said. “I could have done some stuff better, but overall it was a great performance. I didn’t want to go too fast and leave myself exposed for some big shots. He’s a heavy puncher. But like I said, I like to do the stuff that nobody has ever done. Nobody has ever stopped him and I’m pretty sure nobody is ever going to make him look like that again. I demolished him from round one to round 10.”

A seven-year pro at the age of 23, Benavidez landed 56 percent of his power punches in the fight and averaged 29 de 70 punches thrown per round. Benavidez closed the show by landing a career high 54 punches in round 10.

Colombia’s Angulo, acum lupta din Miami, Fla., entered his second world title opportunity riding a three-fight winning streak, but was unable to come counter anything Benavidez threw at him.

Benavidez said he was disappointed and embarrassed by not making the 168-pound weight limit on Friday. “Everything everyone said about me is true,” Benavidez said. “I should be a professional and come in on weight, but this time I couldn’t do it. It’s my first time not making weight in eight years of being a professional.”

“I really have to talk to my promoter to see what’s next,” Benavidez added. “I’ll fight anybody to get back to the spot I was. You could see by this performance tonight, I could put on a great performance against anybody and people will pay to see that. I’m probably going to go right back into training camp to make sure I don’t miss weight.”

În cazul în care co-principal, rising lightweight Rolando “Rolly” Romero (12-0, 10 KO) scored a controversial unanimous decision over previously fellow unbeaten Jackson Maríñez (19-1, 7 KO) to capture the interim WBA Lightweight Title. Scorurile au fost 115-113, 116-112 și 118-110, all in favor of Romero.

The story of the fight was Maríñez’s reliable jabs as the Dominican fighter won the battle in that department (14 percent compared to Romero’s 10 la sută). It was Romero, totuși, who held the advantage on power punches connecting on 24 la sută (31 de 228) comparativ cu 18 percent for Maríñez (72 de 401).

“I don’t think I had a bad performance,” said Romero, who confidently predicted a brutal knockout would end the bout in his pre-fight comments. “I thought I won the fight. Regardless of everything, I’m the world champ now. Sunt fericit. "

Romero suffered a slight cut above his left eye in the ninth round on a head butt, but it didn’t seem to affect his performance in the championship rounds. “He came out a little bit tougher and slicker than what I thought,” Romero said. “But all he did was move around the entire fight. He didn’t even try to engage. It’s hard to knock out someone who doesn’t try to engage. I hurt him multiple times with body shots and a few hooks. There was one moment I hurt him with a right hand and he pulled my head down. It was just hard to finish him off.

"Da [I would give him a rematch]. He didn’t do anything special.”

The 29-year-old Maríñez, who holds the WBA’s No. 6 clasament, is trained by Robert Garcia, who was not present in the Maríñez’s corner electing not to travel cross country from his Southern California home.

“That was pure robbery,” Maríñez said. “I won the fight. I out-jabbed, out-boxed him. You could tell he didn’t think he won the fight right afterwards. It’s a robbery.”

În meciul de deschidere al transmisiunii, heavyweight contender Otto Wallin recorded a TKO at 2:32 of the fifth round against Travis Kauffman, who re-tore his left labrum at the start of the fifth round and was unable to lift his arm. Referee Michael Ortega signaled the end of the fight and afterwards Kauffman announced he was retiring from boxing, just days ahead of his 35lea zi de naștere.

The 29-year-old Wallin (21-1, 14 KO) who had a four-inch height advantage over Kauffman, said he felt for the injured Kauffman, but was dominating the fight. “I was breaking him down. I had a lot left,” Wallin said. “Too bad he hurt his shoulder in the end, but I was breaking him and hitting him with good clean shots.”

Wallin looked sharp in his return to the ring for the first time since he nearly defeated Tyson Fury in September 2019. El a aterizat 12 jabs per round and 54 percent of his power shots throughout the fight. Currently living in New York City and originally Representing his native Sundsvall, Suedia, Wallin had former champion Joey Gamache in his corner for the bout.

Both fighters have recovered from injury in the recent past, as well as the COVID-19 virus. “I didn’t feel anything from COVID,” Wallin said. “I had great training. I was sick in March, but COVID didn’t hit me very hard. I was lucky. I’m sorry for everyone who lost their lives due to COVID.

“I want to go back to New York next and relax a little bit. I’ve been training for a long time now, almost a year. So I want to relax a little bit and hopefully I can fight again by the end of the year.”

The 34-year-old Kauffman (32-4, 23 KO) from Reading, Pa., was fighting for the first time in five years and seven fights without his trainer Naazim Richardson, who died unexpectedly last month. După lupta, Kauffman said he was retiring from boxing.

“I tore my left labrum getting ready for the [Luis] Ortiz fight,” Kauffman said. “Like a dummy, I waited five months to have surgery on it after the Ortiz fight [December of 2018]. I started feeling better and was going to do a tune-up fight in March, but then COVID happened. This opportunity came up and I didn’t want to pass it up and I felt good. In the first round I hurt it.
