VERONA, NUEVA YORK (Diciembre 19, 2015) – La 2015 boxing year culminated with a tremendous show at Turning Stone Resort Casino as WBA Interim Heavyweight Champion Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz (24-0, 21 KOs) closed the show by maintaining his title with a knockout-of-the-year candidate over Bryant “Por – Por” Jennings (19-2, 10 KOs) in the seventh round of their scheduled bout live on HBO Boxing After Dark.
“Hoy, there is a new era in the heavyweight division,” Ortiz, who landed a vicious uppercut to end the fight, dicho. “Jennings is fighter who deserves much respect, but he can tell you that I am a force in the heavyweight division. I am going to go out and obtain my objective. “I have been training for a big fight of this magnitude for three years. My strategy was to keep him at a distance and I was able to do that effectively with my reach and my jab. I will fight whoever next, whoever Golden Boy Promotions gives me I will take. Wilder, Furia, Klitschko anyone of them, I am ready to prove that I am the heavyweight world champion. A lot of people say a lot of things about me, but the testing showed that I am a clean fighter.”
“I wasn’t on my game, and he got the best of me,” Jennings said. “I didn’t adjust well and he was the better man.”
The co-main event saw two Super Featherweights – former WBA Featherweight and Super Featherweight World Champion Nicolas “Hacha Hombre” Walters (26-0-1, 21 KOs) and Jason Sosa (18-1-4, 14 KOs) — wage a superb battle with both fighters landing tremendous sharp, accurate shots throughout the fight. While Sosa won the fight on one of the judge’s cards, the fight was ruled a draw as the two other judges had the fight even.
“I am in total shock. I was never in any danger, never hurt,” Walters said. “[Sosa] es un buen boxeador — the kind of fight I wanted — but I thought I won all the rounds. So surprised this happened to me.”
“I thought I won and am disappointed it was a draw,” Sosa said. “Trabajé duro, I really thought I won the fight.”
In the HBO Latino Boxing main event light heavyweight Vyacheslav “corazón de León – Chigonsky” Shabranskyy (15-0, 12 KOs) kept his undefeated record intact slugging out a majority decision over Yuneski Gonzalez (16-2, 12 KOs) in an action-packed brawl that saw both fighters land huge shots throughout the fight.
“This fight was the most important and most exciting fight of my career,” said Shabranskyy. I did feel a lot of Gonzalez’ punches but I also feel like I hurt him — especially in the last round, he was beginning to sway. If I had a little more time I feel I would have knocked him out.”
“I knew that this was going to be a war and that is what we delivered tonight,” González dijo. “We both gave it our all and didn’t let up. I knew that I needed to knock him out to win this fight but he was more resilient than I thought and didn’t open up enough for the knockout to happened. I did know the fight was very close and should have been a draw in my opinion. I would like the opportunity to fight him again and prove that I am the better fighter.”
In the co-main of the HBO Latino broadcast, rising middleweight “Rey” Gabriel Rosado (22-9, 13 KOs) shook off some tough early rounds to earn a hard-fought unanimous victory against former IBF Welterweight World Champion Joshua “Gran Maestro” Clottey (39-6, 22 KOs).
“It has been more than a year since I have been in the ring so I did feel a little I the rust but I feel like this fight really helped me shake it off,” Rosado said. Clottey is a tough opponent, el ex campeón del mundo, definitely a challenge for me in my first fight back. I delivered an entertaining fight tonight and I was happy with my performance. I am ready for my next big challenge, I would like a shot at Canelo [Alvarez] siguiente.”
“Gabriel gave everyone a great performance today,” said Fernando Vargas, Rosado’s trainer. This was our first training camp together and I think we are going to keep growing and make great fights together.”
“This was an off night for me,” Clottey said. “I do think that the fans enjoyed the fight –we are both fighters that do not like to back down. Sin embargo, I don’t feel comfortable at this weight class, I want to go back down to 154 and continue to fight at junior middleweight.”
Opening the HBO Latino broadcast, former WBA and IBF Featherweight World Champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (25-1, 17 KOs) had all he could handle after a 13-month layoff, squaring off in a lightweight showdown against Hylon Williams Jr. (16-2-1, 3 KOs) de Houston. Después 10 rounds of back-and-forth action, the judges awarded Gamboa a hard-fought unanimous decision.
“It feels good to be back in the ring,” Gamboa said. “I trained in Cuba, and I feel that all the hard paid off. I was faster and stronger in the ring. I know I dominated the action tonight, I made sure he knew I was in control from the first round.”
“I felt good about the pace of the fight, I know I hurt him a few times,” Williams dijo. “This fight should have gone my way.”
In a light heavyweight battle, rising prospect D’Mitrius “Big Meech” Ballard (11-0, 7 KOs) won a shutout unanimous decision against a game Fabiano “Pit Bull” Pluma (11-4-1, 8 KOs).
“I am glad I secured the victory today,” Ballard said. “[Pluma] was able to go all six rounds with me, but I felt in complete control the entire fight. I think I am ready to step up to more rounds and bigger opponents. I am ready for the next big step of my career and this fight showed that. I want to thank Oscar and Golden Boy Promotions for the opportunity and I can’t wait for the next fight.”
En la primera pelea de la noche, middleweight Steven “The Hitman” Martínez (16-2, 13 KOs) emerged with a second round TKO victory over Jorge “Destructor” Meléndez (28-6-1, 26 KOs). Martinez got off numerous combinations in round one and followed it up in round two with a sizzling left hook that floored Menendez. While Mendendez beat the count, Martinez quickly moved in, forcing the referee to wave off the fight at1:33 de la segunda ronda.

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETRONE A ANDY LEE EL SÁBADO PARA CONVERTIRSE EN EL 12 ° CAMPEÓN MUNDIAL BRITÁNICO ACTUAL EN SHO EXTREME® DE MANCHESTER,INGLATERRA
NUEVA YORK (Diciembre. 19, 2015) - Billy Joe Saunders destronado campeón mundial de peso medio de la OMB Andy Lee con una decisión mayoritaria de 12 vueltas el sábado Showtime boxeo INTERNACIONAL de Manchester, Inglaterra.
La lucha, que fue anotado 115-111, 114-112 y 113-113, se volverá a emitir esta noche a las 9 p.m. Y/PT por SHO EXTREME.
En un enfrentamiento de zurdos tácticos, una tercera ronda explosiva de Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs) fue la diferencia. El retador británico derribó a Lee dos veces: primero con un gran gancho de derecha y nuevamente con un contraataque justo 30 segundos después, y un Lee aturdido de alguna manera sobrevivió al 10-7 ronda. Video: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe
El irlandés Lee (34-3-1, 24 KOs) luchó para recuperarse y fue el peleador más agresivo en las rondas del campeonato, pero no fue suficiente para compensar un comienzo lento y las dos caídas.
Con la victoria, Saunders se convirtió en el 12º actual campeón mundial británico.
"Soy campeón del mundo,"Saunders dijo. “Le gané a un buen campeón hoy, un buen campeón robusto. Usé su poder contra él. Cuando estaba boxeando, se descuidó un poco y dejó caer su mano delantera y lo atrapé con el gancho..
"No voy a empezar a correr la boca, pero fue un buen tiro. Con alguien tan rápido como yo tienes que levantar las manos. No soy el pegador más grande del mundo, pero te mostré allí que puedo golpear ".
AMB campeón mundial de peso medio Daniel Jacobs, recién salido de un nocaut en la primera ronda de Peter Quillin hace dos semanas en SHOWTIME, fue un analista invitado en sábado de Nueva York.
"Pensé que iba a ser un gran luchador, Pensé que tenía mejores activos,"Jacobs dijo de Lee. "No hizo lo suficiente por mí. Era demasiado complaciente y después de la caída no se veía esa sensación de urgencia que debe tener un luchador en la ruta de regreso..
"Todo el crédito se debe a Billy Joe, pero no fue una victoria impresionante ".
Después de ver la pelea, Jacobs no estaba listo para comprometerse con un enfrentamiento de unificación en 2016 con el ganador.
"Haremos lo que tenga sentido,"Jacobs dijo. "Creo que es hora de sentarse y averiguar qué tiene sentido. Obviamente, es un buen momento para ser campeón de peso mediano ".
