VERONA, NEW YORK (Dicembre 19, 2015) – Il 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 KO) closed the show by maintaining his title with a knockout-of-the-year candidate over Bryant “Da – Da” Jennings (19-2, 10 KO) in the seventh round of their scheduled bout live on HBO Boxing After Dark.
“Oggi, there is a new era in the heavyweight division,” Ortiz, who landed a vicious uppercut to end the fight, suddetto. “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 “Axe Man” Walters (26-0-1, 21 KO) and Jason Sosa (18-1-4, 14 KO) — 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] è un buon combattente — 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. “Ho lavorato duro, I really thought I won the fight.”
In the HBO Latino Boxing main event light heavyweight Vyacheslav “cuor di Leone – Chigonsky” Shabranskyy (15-0, 12 KO) kept his undefeated record intact slugging out a majority decision over Yuneski Gonzalez (16-2, 12 KO) 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 ha detto. “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 “Re” Gabriel Rosado (22-9, 13 KO) 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 KO).
“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, l'ex campione del mondo, 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. Tuttavia, 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 KO) had all he could handle after a 13-month layoff, squaring off in a lightweight showdown against Hylon Williams Jr. (16-2-1, 3 KO) di Houston. Dopo 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 ha detto. “This fight should have gone my way.”
In a light heavyweight battle, rising prospect D’Mitrius “Big Meech” Ballard (11-0, 7 KO) won a shutout unanimous decision against a game Fabiano “Pit Bull” Piuma (11-4-1, 8 KO).
“I am glad I secured the victory today,” Ballard said. “[Piuma] 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.”
Nel match della serata di apertura, middleweight Steven “The Hitman” Martinez (16-2, 13 KO) emerged with a second round TKO victory over Jorge “Distruttore” Melendez (28-6-1, 26 KO). 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 del secondo turno.

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE SABATO DIVENTA 12 ° ATTUALE CAMPIONE DEL MONDO BRITANNICO SU SHO EXTREME® DI MANCHESTER,INGHILTERRA
NEW YORK (Dicembre. 19, 2015) - Billy Joe Saunders detronizzato WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee con una decisione a maggioranza di 12 turni sabato Showtime Boxing INTERNAZIONALE da Manchester, Inghilterra.
La lotta, che è stato segnato 115-111, 114-112 e 113-113, andrà in onda stasera alle 9 p.m. E/PT su SHO EXTREME.
In un matchup di mancini tattici, un esplosivo terzo round di Saunders (23-0, 12 KO) era la differenza. Lo sfidante britannico ha battuto Lee due volte: prima con un grosso gancio destro e ancora con un contropiede giusto 30 secondi dopo - e un Lee sbalordito in qualche modo è sopravvissuto al 10-7 round. HIGHLIGHTS VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe
L'irlandese Lee (34-3-1, 24 KO) ha combattuto per tornare ed è stato il combattente più aggressivo nei round di campionato, ma non è bastato a sopperire alla partenza lenta e ai due knockdown.
Con la vittoria, Saunders è diventato il 12th attuale campione del mondo britannico.
"Sono campione del mondo,"Saunders ha detto. “Oggi ho battuto un buon campione, un buon campione robusto. Ho usato il suo potere contro di lui. Quando facevo boxe è diventato un po 'distratto e ha lasciato cadere la sua mano di piombo e l'ho preso con il gancio.
"Non inizierò a far scorrere la bocca, ma è stato un buon tiro. Con qualcuno veloce come me devi tenere le mani in alto. Non sono il più grande pugile del mondo, ma ti ho mostrato che posso prendere a pugni. "
WBA medio campione del Mondo Daniel Jacobs, fresco di un primo turno ad eliminazione diretta di Peter Quillin due settimane fa su SHOWTIME, era un analista ospite il Sabato Da New York.
“Ho pensato che sarebbe stato un grande attaccabrighe, Pensavo avesse risorse migliori,"Jacobs ha detto di Lee. "Non ha fatto abbastanza per me. Era troppo compiacente e dopo l'atterramento non hai visto quel senso di urgenza che deve avere un combattente sulla pista del ritorno.
“Tutto il merito è dovuto a Billy Joe, ma non è stata una vittoria impressionante. "
Dopo aver visto il combattimento, Jacobs non era pronto a impegnarsi per una resa dei conti dell'unificazione in 2016 con il vincitore.
"Faremo tutto ciò che ha senso,"Ha detto Jacobs. "Penso che sia ora di sedersi e capire cosa ha senso. Ovviamente è un buon momento per essere un campione dei pesi medi. "

Fox put together an impressive 4-2 record come un dilettante, starting his career in the NEF cage in the summer of 2013. He won his first four in the NEF cage, all via stoppage prior to losing his bid to become NEF MMA Amateur Flyweight Champion to Dustin Veinott (4-4) lo scorso giugno. The back-and-forth battle with Veinott ended in a split decision, and it has been nominated for “2015 NEF Fight of the Year.” Later in 2015, Fox and teammate Jason Lachance (2-3) purchased the MMA Athletix gym in Bath, Maine from their former coach, Ryan Cowette (2-3). The upcoming bout with Warne will be the first of a multi-fight developmental deal Fox signed recently with NEF.
“Brandon and I seem like a pretty even match up,” ha detto Fox. “Expect a fast-paced fight that could end at any moment.”
Brandon Warne is a member of Team Bombsquad based out of Ithaca, New York. He excelled in the amateur ranks of the sport, accumulando un record di 5-1 with three finishes. Warne made his professional MMA debut this past October in Rhode Island in a losing effort to David Baxter (2-0). He comes to Maine looking for his first win as a pro against Fox.
“It’s an honor to be coming to Maine and put on a show at what I love in front of the NEF crowd,” said Warne. “Di Più, it’ll be my parents first time back in Maine since their honeymoon. As for the fight, I’m not much for trash talking. Fighters fight and that’s I’m coming to do!”
