VERONA, NEW YORK (Décembre 19, 2015) – Le 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 “Par – Par” Jennings (19-2, 10 KOs) in the seventh round of their scheduled bout live on HBO Boxing After Dark.
“Aujourd'hui, there is a new era in the heavyweight division,” Ortiz, who landed a vicious uppercut to end the fight, dit. “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, Fureur, 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 “Axe Man” 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] est un bon combattant — 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. “Je ai travaillé dur, I really thought I won the fight.”
In the HBO Latino Boxing main event light heavyweight Vyacheslav “coeur de Lion – 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,” Gonzalez dit. “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 “Roi” 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 “Grand Maître” 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 a dit. Clottey is a tough opponent, ancien champion du monde, 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] next.”
“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. Cependant, 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. Après 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 a dit. “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” Plume (11-4-1, 8 KOs).
“I am glad I secured the victory today,” Ballard said. “[Plume] 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.”
Dans le combat d'ouverture de la soirée, middleweight Steven “The Hitman” Martinez (16-2, 13 KOs) emerged with a second round TKO victory over Jorge “Destructeur” Melendez (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 du second tour.

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE SAMEDI POUR DEVENIR 12e CHAMPION DU MONDE BRITANNIQUE ACTUEL SUR SHO EXTREME® DE MANCHESTER,ANGLETERRE
NEW YORK (Décembre. 19, 2015) - Billy Joe Saunders Champion du monde des poids moyens détrôné WBO Andy Lee avec une décision majoritaire à 12 tours samedi le BOXE SHOWTIME INTERNATIONAL de Manchester, Angleterre.
La lutte, qui a été marqué 115-111, 114-112 et 113-113, sera rediffusé ce soir à 9 p.m. ET/PT sur SHO EXTREME.
Dans un match de gauchers tactiques, un troisième round explosif de Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs) était la différence. Le challenger britannique a frappé Lee deux fois - d'abord avec un gros crochet droit et à nouveau avec un compteur juste 30 quelques secondes plus tard - et Lee étourdi survécut d'une manière ou d'une autre 10-7 tour. FAITS SAILLANTS VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe
L'Irlandais Lee (34-3-1, 24 KOs) a combattu son chemin et a été le combattant le plus agressif dans les rondes de championnat, mais ce n’était pas suffisant pour compenser un démarrage lent et les deux renversements.
Avec la victoire, Saunders est devenu le 12e champion du monde britannique actuel.
«Je suis champion du monde,”A déclaré Saunders. «J'ai battu un bon champion aujourd'hui, un bon champion robuste. J'ai utilisé son pouvoir contre lui. Quand je boxais, il est devenu un peu imprudent et a laissé tomber sa main de tête et je l'ai attrapé avec le crochet.
«Je ne vais pas commencer à faire couler ma bouche, mais c'était un bon coup. Avec quelqu'un d'aussi vite que moi, tu dois garder les mains levées. Je ne suis pas le plus gros puncheur du monde, mais je vous ai montré là-bas que je peux frapper.
WBA Middleweight Champion du Monde Daniel Jacobs, fraîchement sorti d'un KO au premier tour de Peter Quillin il y a deux semaines à SHOWTIME, était un analyste invité Samedi de New York.
«Je pensais qu'il allait être un gros bagarreur, Je pensais qu'il avait de meilleurs atouts,”Jacobs a dit de Lee. «Il n’a pas fait assez pour moi. Il était trop complaisant et après le renversement, vous n'avez pas vu ce sentiment d'urgence qu'un combattant doit avoir sur la piste de retour.
«Tout le crédit est dû à Billy Joe, mais ce n’était pas une victoire impressionnante. »
Après avoir regardé le combat, Jacobs n'était pas prêt à s'engager dans une confrontation à l'unification en 2016 avec le gagnant.
«Nous ferons tout ce qui a du sens,”A dit Jacobs. "Je pense qu'il est temps de s'asseoir et de comprendre ce qui a du sens. C'est évidemment le bon moment pour devenir un champion des poids moyens. »
