BROOKLYN (Desembre 8, 2019) – Undefeated WBC Middleweight World ChampionJermall Charlo (30-0, 22 KOs) successfully defended his title for the second time, stopping highly-ranked Irish contender Dennis Hogan (28-3-1, 7 KOs) with a showstopping one-punch knockout in the seventh round Saturday night live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, la casa de BROOKLYN BOXA ™, en un acte presentat per Premier Boxing Champions.

WATCH CHARLO’S FINISH

Houston’s Charlo, one of the most exciting young champions in the sport, delivered on his promise that he would close the show in spectacular fashion after going the distance in his previous two bouts. En :28 of round number seven, Charlo set Hogan up by feinting on the jab before connecting on a ferocious left hook to Hogan’s nose that sent him falling against the ropes. The 34-year-old Hogan, who was moving up after most recently challenging for the title at 154 lliura, rose to his feet before the ten count, but referee Charlie Fitch waived off the bout.

When Hogan was dropped in the seventh round, it was the third time in his career that he had been down and the second time during the fight. A la tercera ronda, a vicious left uppercut from Charlo just 12 seconds into the frame sent Hogan rolling backwards onto the canvas, but the Irishman rose quickly and acrobatically to his feet.

Despite throwing far fewer punches, Charlo had the more effective and efficient attack. Charlo va aterrar 86 dels 266 punches he threw (32%) while Hogan landed just 71 dels 418 punches he threw (17%). Despite Hogan landing on 61 cops de poder en comparació amb 57 for Charlo, Hogan was unable to hurt Charlo, while Charlo’s trademark power resulted in another highlight reel stoppage.

I made it through 2019 and we’re going to 2020 amb 20/20 visió,” said Charlo in the ring following the fight. “Shout out to Dennis Hogan for giving me real competition and for coming up to fight me.Of course my power prevailed tonight.

We’ve been working on that (the uppercut). I try to take him out with every punch and we work hard for it. He got up and he fought like a champion. Ronnie (Escuts) told me to cut him off. I just threw the shot and I made sure I threw it right on the money.

The middleweight division is wide open. I’m the WBC Champion. I’m going to enjoy this and spend time with my team. I’m here to fight whoever. You have to make the right decisions and do it at the right time. That’s what it’s all about.

I wanted to keep going but the decision was fair enough by the referee,” said Hogan. “I didn’t see the punch coming on the second knockdown. I was trying to keep boxing him but then all of a sudden I was on the ground and the fight was over.

I’m looking forward to spending the Christmas holiday with my family, taking a month off, and then we’ll work on what’s next for me.


En la baralla co-estel·lar, Chris Eubank Jr..'S (29-2, 22 KOs) long-awaited United States debut ended in frustrating fashion as his opponent, Matt Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KOs), suffered a bout-ending injury at just :34 de la segona ronda. Because it was ruled a self-inflicted injury, the result was officially declared a TKO victory for Eubank, who picked up the Interim WBA Middleweight Title.

Korobov, a top contender in the middleweight division, injured his left shoulder after throwing a punch that failed to land. After consulting with the ringside doctor, it was deemed that he would be unable to continue.

I felt like I was about to get my swagger on,” Eubank told SHOWTIME reporter Jim Gray following the stoppage. “He just turned around and stopped. I was going to go jump on him. I guess something happened with his shoulder. There’s nothing to take from the fight. I threw like three or four punches. I was just warming up.

In the buildup to the fight, Eubank, el fill de la llegenda britànica de la boxa i antic campió mundial de dues divisions Chris Eubank Sr., repeatedly said that there would be a new contender in the stacked middleweight division. Despite not getting a chance to introduce himself to the American audience in the way he envisioned, Eubank is looking ahead to a busy 2020.

I’m the winner, I’m going to move forward and challenger for these belts,” said Eubank. “This wasn’t my dream. My dream was to come here to America and make a statement. Now that I’ve landed and I settled with the new promotional team, I feel I can get the ball rolling for an active 2020. It’s a shame it had to start like this, but it is what it is.

I was trying to throw the left hand straight, and I just felt the muscle immediately, like I pulled it,” va dir Korobov. “It was a lot of pain right away. I couldn’t fight with just one arm, especially being a southpaw.

In a battle of former world champions to open the telecast, del Japó Ryosuke Iwasa (27-3, 17 KOs) knocked out the PhilippinesMarlon Tapales (33-3, 16 KOs) with a devastating straight left-hand at 1:09 dels 11º ronda. Amb la victòria, Iwasa earned the vacant Interim IBF World Junior Featherweight Title.

Iwasa, who held a six-and-a-half-inch reach advantage, was more consistent throughout the entirety of the bout, stringing together multi-punch combinations. The decisive moment of the 12-round fight came in the penultimate round, when Tapales was caught with a counter left-hand that connected flush on his chin and put him sprawled on the canvas. Tapales beat the count, rising after eight seconds, but referee Shada Murdaugh waved the fight off.

En el moment de la detenció, Iwasa led on all three scorecards (97-92, 95-94, 97-92). While Tapales was more accurate throughout the night, Iwasa was busier and landed 163 cops totals en comparació amb 148 for Tapales and held a 125-99 advantage in power punches landed. A la tercera ronda, Tapales was dropped to a knee after an accidental clash of heads. The clash, which was incorrectly ruled a knockdown, caused severe swelling under Tapalesright eye and swung a would-be 10-9 round in his favor to a 10-8 round in Iwasa’s favor.

I knew that I had him hurt in the 11º round and I was ready for the finish if the referee had let him keep fighting,” said the 29-year-old Iwasa. “It was a tough fight but I trained really hard for this performance. My height and reach was definitely an advantage. I was able to put my punches together well. He never hurt me but he was still difficult and I had to focus to figure him out.

We’re ready for anyone next. I’m going to keep working hard to become a world champion again next year.

On Saturday’s telecast it was announced that former two-division world champion Danny Garcia would return to the ring on Saturday, Gener 25 en viu per SHOWTIME a Barclays Center. During an interview with SHOWTIME Sports host Brian Custer, Garcia discussed his anticipated return to the ring.

“Gener 25, I’m back at Barclays Center, my home away from home,” va dir Garcia. “It’s a great atmosphere. Every time I’m here, I get the jitters, so I just can’t wait to be back. I’ve been in the gym for a month. I’m already ready. I don’t know who my opponent is, but whoever they put in front of me, Estic preparat per aconseguir-ho.

“Abans de res, gràcies a Déu (Errol) Spence is doing good. I hear that he’s recovering well. I was really looking forward to fighting him but maybe he could be next after January 25. Pac-Man (Manny Pacquiao) or Spence, that’s who we want. 2020 is going to be a big year for me.

The back and forth affair saw both men grab the momentum of the fight at different points, but it was Ellisactivity and ability to box effectively from the outside that gave him the edge. While one judge had the fight 95-95, he was overruled by two scores of 98-92 i 97-93 for Ellis.

The opening streaming bout saw Louisa Hawton (10-2, 5 KOs) retain her Interim WBC Atomweight Championship by unanimous decision in an all-action rematch againstLorraine Villalobos (4-3, 2 KOs).

Simplement el millor! Mark Breland

classe de 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino a Lake Charles, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Volta. (Desembre 3, 2019) – Arguably the greatest American amateur boxer of all-timeMark Breland will be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame on Friday night, Desembre 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino a Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 U.S. Proves per equips olímpics de boxa i 2019 Campionats Nacionals, Desembre. 7-15, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Desembre. 15, a l'hotel Golden Nugget & Casino. Hall of Fame broadcasterEn Bernstein from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes two other Olympic gold-medalists“Big” George Foremani “Smokin’” Joe Frazier, as well as legendary coachesA l'Mitchell iRay Rodgers

Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

“I’m very happy to be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” Breland said. “It really means a lot, especially going in this year with Foreman and Frazier. I guess it proves I’ve done a lot in boxing. I’m happy to be going in. I had a lot of fun in USA Boxing. To be going into the same Hall of Fame withEvander (Holyfield) (MahomaSón, Foreman, Frazier…champs like that, it’s something for me to be with them.”

Breland, irònicament, first got into boxing at the age of eight, due to him being brought to his first boxing match, Frazier-Ali I, at Madison Square Garden. “We were up in the top seats,” the Brooklyn-born and raised Breland remembered like it was yesterday. “The crowd, the atmosphere…all I could think of was, vaja!  I didn’t realize until I got older that there were so many stars there watching Ali and Frazier, because they were all at ringside.

“The next day I went to a gym. I was really skinny, petit, but I came back the next day. I enjoyed working out and fell in love with boxing. I wanted to box in big tournaments. This is what I wanted to do, but I had hid boxing from my parents. They knew I had I played football, but that was okay with them, because unlike in boxing, we had a helmet. I won at the Junior Olympics and it was in the papers. I saw it and thought my mother was going to kill me. My mother asked me why I hadn’t told her, so I invited her to watch me fight in the Golden Gloves. She was in one of the front rows, but afterwards when I asked her what she thought when I knocked out my opponent, she said she didn’t see it because she had closed her eyes.”

Breland went on to become a five-time New York Golden Gloves champion with a 21-0 registre, Incloent 19 nocauts, 14 coming in the opening round. In 1982, Breland captured a gold medal at the prestigious World Championships in Munich, Alemanya, after which he was named the No. 1 welterweight in the world by AIBA. He was also selected as Boxer of the Year (1982) by USAABF.

Al 1984 Jocs Olímpics, held in Los Angeles, Breland fought his way to a gold medal,

along with eight of his American teammatesPaul GonzalezSteve McCroryMeldrick TaylorPernell WhitakerJerry Page,Frank TateHenry Tillman iTyrell Biggs.

Breland, who completed his amateur career with an amazing 110-1 (73 KOs) registre, appeared to be cooler than the other side of the pillow on a hot, steamy night. No real celebrations after he won gold, to the contrary, Mark was emotionless, the same as he still is today as a trainer of champions.

“I’ve always been really laid back,” he explained. “I just remember raising my hands. At an Olympic press conference, I was asked if I was happy, and I just said I was glad it was over. I guess I didn’t seem excited. I was happy but calm. It’s the same way now (as a trainer); it’s just me. I’m happy to win and happy to be doing what I do.”

“Mark’s dominance over his competition throughout his USA Boxing career cements him as a legend,” commentedChris Cugliari, Director executiu de l'Associació d'Antics Alumnes de Boxa dels EUA. “His ring intelligence, commitment to his craft, and ability to fight at any pace against any style makes him a tremendous example for today’s group of amateur champions. It has been a long time coming, but the Alumni Association looks forward to reflecting on his accomplishments and honoring Mark in Louisiana.”

Confirmed special guests include 1988 Medallista d'or olímpicAndrew Maynard, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) Joe Clough, 1984 Olympic gold medalist Frank Dissenyari el seu germàThomas, 1972 OlímpicTim Dement, 2002 Campió nacional Guants d'OrJaidon Codringtion, 1980 Olympic QualifierJackie Beard, 1981 Jocs Olímpics JúniorGlen Modicue, four-time National championEric Kelly, 1988 Eastern Olympic Qualifier championJohn ScullyObie BeardMark Lanton i laStephensbrothers –DonaldAntonio iJerry.

Boxers from New York/New Jersey had different styles than boxers from Georgia/Florida, and fighting Cubans was completely different. I was beating up a Cuban fighter, but every time I hit him, somehow, they took away a point from me. I knew right away that I had to knock him out to win, and they did end up stopping the fight.”

Julian Williams earned one of 2019’s most thrilling victories in May against Jarrett Hurd, and there’s no better way for him to follow that up than by defending his WBA and IBF titles in front of his hometown fans in Philadelphia,” va dir Tom Brown, President de TGB Promocions. “The great fight fans in Philadelphia are in for fireworks because Jeison Rosario hits hard and he comes to pull off the spectacular upset, and he only needs one punch to do so. Combined with the addition of one of boxing’s best young stars in Chris Colbert in his toughest test to date against Jezreel Corrales, FOX PBC Fight Night will be must watch from start to finish on January 18 at Liacouras Center.

Williams de Filadèlfia (27-1-1, 16 KOs) captured his world titles in a FOX main event in May when he upset Jarrett Hurd’s homecoming defense in a fight that is a frontrunner for 2019 Baralla de l'Any. Williams took full advantage of his second title opportunity with a spirited performance and an impressive game plan that negated the hard-charging and physically bigger Hurd.

The 29-year-old will now headline in his hometown, marking the first time he’s fought in Philadelphia since a 2011 victory over Eberto Mendoza. Williams earned his title opportunity by winning four-straight fights after a defeat to Jermall Charlo in 2016, including wins over former champion Ishe Smith and Nathaniel Gallimore.

This is going to be great having a homecoming fight back in Philadelphia,” va dir Williams. “I’m excited for the crowd that’ll be at the Liacouras Center and to be back fighting on FOX. I haven’t fought in Philadelphia since 2011, so I can’t wait to get back in the ring in front of all my people. Rosario is a good fighter and I’m very familiar with him. I know he packs a solid punch and that he’s been on a tear ever since his lone loss to Nathaniel Gallimore. So he’ll be a stiff test for me, but I’m prepared to win. Sobretot, I’m just excited to defend my titles and as a unified champion in front of my hometown crowd.

Nascut a la República Dominicana i ara lluitant fora de Miami, Rosario (19-1-1, 13 KOs) will take an eight-fight unbeaten streak into his first world title fight on January 18. The 24-year-old has taken down a slew of contenders and rising prospects including Jamontay Clark, Justin DeLoach and Mark Anthony Hernandez, all of whom were either stopped or knocked down against Rosario. Més recentment, Rosario won a decision over veteran contender Jorge Cota in April.

I’m very thankful and excited for this opportunity,” va dir la Rosario. “I’m going to take advantage of it. I plan to bring these titles back to the Dominican Republic by knockout, but if I have to go 12 rondes, Estic a punt. I learned a lot from my first defeat, and it will never happen again. I also want to thank PBC, my promoter Sampson Boxing and my manager Caesar Mercedes for putting in this position. I can’t wait to make the most of it.

One of boxing’s top rising prospects, Colbert (13-0, 5 KOs) showed off his emerging power with asensational one punch knockout of Miguel Beltran Jr. in the first round of his most recent fight in September on FS1. The 23-year-old from Brooklyn, New York had an impressive amateur career and has already taken down three unbeaten fighters in his short pro career. He will look to kick off a big 2020 al gener 18 after earning four wins in 2019.

This is the stage that I’ve been waiting for,” said Colbert. “My last fight was the co-main event on FS1 and now we’re moving up to FOX. It’s time to show out! I’m going to show the world what the hype behind me is all about and prove that I’m a soon-to-be champion of the world. All I know about Corrales is that he’s a former champion who’s going to bring his A-game, but I’m looking to get him out of there. I’m excited to be back in Philly and I’m definitely going to have my crew and fans coming down from New York to show support.

The 28-year-old Corrales (23-3, 9 KOs) will look to rebound after a narrow split-decision defeat to Ladarius Miller in July. Fighting out of San Miguelito, Panamà, Corrales won a super featherweight title in 2016 when he went to Japan and knocked out Takashi Uchiyama before winning a decision in their rematch. He also owns victories over current 130-pound champion Rene Alvarado and Robinson Castellanos.

Colbert is a good fighter but he’s not ready for what I can do in the ring,” said Corrales. “I’m going to show that I’m still one of the best in the division. This is a great opportunity to prove that. I’ve been training hard to be the best Jezreel Corrales. Thank you to my whole team for helping me get this fight. You’re not going to want to miss my performance on January 18.

Men’s Field for 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing Set

COLORADO SPRINGS, Volta. (Novembre 26, 2019) – Sixty-four of the nation’s top male amateur boxers will compete at the upcoming 2020 U.S. Proves olímpiques per equips de boxa a Lake Charles, Louisiana, Desembre 9-16.

Un total de 479 boxers competed in the four qualifying tournaments with hopes of advancing to Lake Charles. The top two boxers in each weight division will advance to the next stage of the selection procedures this January in Colorado Springs and compete for a chance to represent Team USA at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

Here is a closer look at the boxers stepping into the ring in the eight men’s weight divisions.

Flyweight/114 lbs./52 kg

The flyweight division will feature multiple exciting matchups, as all eight boxers will be looking to represent Team USA next year and follow in 2016 Olympic bronze medalists Nico Hernandez’ footsteps. 2019 World Championships team member and 2018 Elite National ChampionMichael Angeletti (Primavera, Texas) has hopes of using his great deal of international experience he gained this year to lead the pack, while two-time flyweight national champion (’16 and ’17Fernando Martinez (Fènix, Ariz.) will want to return to the top of the podium. 2018 Elite National Championships runner-upAbraham Pérez (Albuquerque, N.m) has hopes of redemption to take the title.

Lightweight/138 lbs./63 kg

J.), Josep Hicks (Grand Rapids, Mich.) iAntonio Garcia (Anaheim, Qualif.) were crowned champions at the three qualifiers, and will look to continue their winning ways in Louisiana.Alexis Chaparro (Nova York, N.Y.), Francis Hogan (Weymouth, Missa.) iAlex Chisholm (Hialeah Gardens, Fla.) showed why they should not be underestimated with their qualifying performances and will be tough to get through in this bracket.

Light Heavyweight/178 lbs./81 kg

2018 Elite National ChampionRahim González (Las Vegas, Nevada) has the heart and determination to succeed in Lake Charles after falling short at the 2016 U.S. Proves olímpiques per equips de boxa, mentre Atif Oberlton (Filadèlfia, Pa.) has been on the rise following his silver medal performance at last year’s National Championships. Following the shuffling around of boxers who qualified in multiple divisionsFrancis Oran (Allentown, Pa.) is the lone regional qualifier champion, taking the title in Oxnard at the Last Chance Qualifier.Orville Crooks (Brooklyn, N.Y.), Amir Ghaffari Nikou (Charlotte, N.C.) iNasheed Smith(Washington, D.C.) qualified to these trials after finishing second at the Eastern, Last Chance and Western Qualifiers, respectivament.Chavon Davis (Mansfield, Ohio) iRobert Magee(Byrnes Mill, Missouri) were added to the field following Javier Martinez and Adrian Tillman, the Eastern and Western Qualifier Champions in this division selected to compete in the other weight class they are qualified in.

                                                       Heavyweight/201 lbs./91 kg

After qualifying in two different weight classesAdrian Tillman (Colorado Springs, Colo.) chose to compete in the heavyweight division with hopes of being one of the two boxers in this division, però, la 2018 Elite National Championships heavyweight silver medalists will have to fend off a tough bracket to advance.Najee Lopez (Ellenwood, Ga.), Brandon Moore(Lakeland, Fla.) iDevon Young(Aiken, S.C.) were crowned champions in the three regional qualifying tournaments and all three will be looking to continue their winning ways in a few weeks, mentreJoshua Edwards (Houston, Texas), Darius Fulghum (Rosharon, Texas) iJamar Talley (Camden, N. J.) finished second in the regional qualifiers but could make it an interesting week in Louisiana. 2016 Elite National Champion and 2018 bronze medalistsCymone Kearney (Beaumont, Texas) was a late addition to the field after Jared Anderson moved to the professional ranks and could surprise many.

Talls de tancament & el control del flux sanguini porta Ray Rodgers, de 83 anys, al Saló de la Fama de l'Associació d'Antics Alumnes de Boxa dels EUA

classe de 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino a Lake Charles, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Volta. (Novembre 25, 2019) – Arkansas boxing icon Ray Rodgershas successfully dealt with more cuts than most surgeons, all the way into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, in which he’ll be inducted on Friday night, Desembre 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, a l'hotel Golden Nugget & Casino a Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 U.S. Proves per equips olímpics de boxa i 2019 Campionats Nacionals, Desembre. 7-15, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Desembre. 15, a l'hotel Golden Nugget & Casino. Hall of Fame broadcaster En Bernstein from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes three Olympic gold-medalists, “Gran” George Foreman, Smokin'” Joe Frazier i Mark Breland, as well as legendary coach A l'Mitchell.

Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

There isn’t much in boxing, si alguna cosa, that Rodgers hasn’t done: boxejador, oficial, entrenador, administrator and, per descomptat, home de tall. “I’m a boxing guy,” Rodgers said in his Southern twang. “I’ve been around the block, several times. But I don’t say I’m a cut man, I’m a laceration management specialist.

Rodgers first got into boxing when he was in the fifth grade, back in Oklahoma, where he was born. A memo was sent around that there would be a tryout for boxing held the next day at the local high school gym. His parents gave their permission to let him tryout, the first chapter of his incredible boxing career.

From the first moment,” the charming boxing character remembered, “Em vaig enganxar. I still have the letter I received in boxing. That was in 1947 and I’m still in boxing. I’m very proud of that.

Rodgers has worked 39 world championship fights in professional boxing, as a cut man (he only trains amateur boxers) for the likes of world champions Jermaine Taylor, Wayne McCollough i Tommy Morrison.

It’s been beyond belief for a regular old boxing guy like me,” Rodgers said about his life in boxing. “I’ve traveled all over the world, many times, as a cut man.

He was the first national official of both the Golden Gloves and Silver Gloves. Més, he’s already been inducted in three Hall of Fames: Guants de plata, Golden Gloves and Arkansas Sports HOF.

Ray’s sacrifice to countless youth as a coach, mentor, home de tall, and leader throughout the amateur boxing community is inspirational,” comentat Chris Cugliari, Director executiu de l'Associació d'Antics Alumnes de Boxa dels EUA. “His years of service and the knowledge he has passed on to other generations is what makes him a Hall of Famer, and we look forward to honoring him in December.

Rodgers hasn’t slowed down, despite recently celebrating his 83rd aniversari. He still owns and operates Ray Rodgers Boxing Club in West Little Rock, Arkansas, in addition to serving as director of the Arkansas Golden Gloves and Mid-South Tournament, which includes Louisiana, Mississipí, Western Tennessee and Arkansas. And he’s also the vice-president of the National Golden Gloves and chairman of the National Silver Gloves.

“A la meva edat, I’m happy to have any birthday,” Rodgers joked. “I’m hoping to live another 10-12 any, Lord willing. It’s all in the Lord’s hands; controlling the flow of blood, encara que, is in my hands.

Confirmed special guests include 1988 Medallista d'or olímpic Andrew Maynard, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) Joe Clough, 1984 Medallista d'or olímpic Frank Tate i el seu germà Thomas, 1972 Olímpic Tim Dement, 2002 Campió nacional Guants d'Or Jaidon Codringtion, 1980 Olympic Qualifier Jackie Beard, 1981 Jocs Olímpics Júnior Glen Modicue, four-time National champion Eric Kelly, 1988 Eastern Olympic Qualifier champion John Scully, Obie Beard, Mark Lanton i laStephens germans – Donald, Antonio i Jerry.

LAS VEGAS (Novembre 24, 2019) – WBC campió pesat del món Deontay “El bombarder de Bronze” Wilder va continuar regnant el seu títol amb una victòria per nocaut d'un cop Luis “King Kong” Ortiz a la setena ronda de la seva represa dissabte a la nit que va encapçalar un FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View des del MGM Grand Garden Arena de Las Vegas.

Wilder va fer la seva 10º defensa del títol consecutiva amb èxit, lligant-lo amb Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes, Tommy Burns i Vitali i Wladimir Klitschko com els únics campions de pes pesat a aconseguir aquesta gesta.

En una revenja de la seva èpica 2018 lluita que va veure en Wilder recuperar-se de gairebé ser aturat per noquejar a Ortiz a la ronda 10, la lluita va tornar a veure ambdós homes mantenir l'impuls de la lluita en diferents moments.

Ortiz va controlar gran part de l'acció de la lluita mentre buscava convertir-se en el primer campió cubà de pes pesat de la història.. Wilder no va ser molt actiu a les primeres rondes, mentre que Ortiz va ser capaç de punxar eficaçment, moure i llançar a l'esquerra per acumular rondes a la targeta de puntuació.

“Amb Ortiz, pots veure per què cap altre pes pesat vol lluitar contra ell,” Said Wilder. “És molt astut, es mou estratègicament i el seu intel·lecte és molt alt. Vaig haver de mesurar-lo en determinats llocs.”

Gran part de l'atac de Wilder durant les sis primeres rondes es va centrar en el seu jab i en un ganxo esquerre que no semblava aterrar net fins a principis de la setena ronda.. Amb la setena ronda minvant, Wilder va fer servir una finta i una centrada dreta dreta per abatre Ortiz, la primera vegada que havia estat ferit en la baralla.

“Vaig haver d'entrar i sortir i finalment vaig trobar la meva mesura,” Said Wilder. “Vaig veure el tret i el vaig agafar. El meu intel·lecte és molt alt al ring i ningú em dóna crèdit per mi. Crec que el vaig fer brunzit amb un ganxo d'esquerra abans a la ronda i el vaig agafar des d'allà.”

Mentre Ortiz va poder aixecar-se, l'àrbitre Kenny Bayless va renunciar al combat a 2:51 en la setena ronda. Ortiz va liderar les tres targetes de puntuació, pels marges de 58-56 i 59-55 dues vegades. Segons Compubox, Ortiz va aterrar Wilder 35 a 34, amb una 28 a 17 avantatge en cops de potència.

“Això és la boxa,” va dir Ortiz. “Vaig dir que un de nosaltres anava a ser noquejat i que no aniria 12 rondes. Tenia el cap clar quan vaig colpejar el llenç. Quan vaig sentir que l'àrbitre deia set estava intentant aixecar-me, però suposo que el recompte va anar una mica més ràpid del que em pensava.

“Aquesta va ser una gran lluita i vaig pensar que estava guanyant clarament,” va continuar Ortiz. “Em van atrapar amb un gran tir i he de donar molt de crèdit a Deontay Wilder. Sabia que el meu moviment li donava problemes. Vaig fer alguns cops grans i vaig pensar que el tenia ferit. Vaig pensar que estava al dia i podria haver continuat.”

Al ring després de la baralla, Ortiz va assegurar que continuarà amb la seva recerca d'un campionat de pes pesat.

“Deontay va mostrar una gran voluntat i no em fa vergonya la meva actuació,” va dir Ortiz. “Sé que puc vèncer qualsevol a la divisió de pes pesat. La meva carrera no s'ha acabat. Vaig a treballar per tornar a una gran lluita.”

Després de la baralla, Wilder va dir a FOX Sports’ Heidi Androl que el seu objectiu és unificar la divisió de pes pesat i convertir-se en campiona indiscutible.

“Següent, tenim a Tyson Fury a la represa,” va dir en Wilder.” Està previst pel febrer, així ho veurem. Llavors, Vull la unificació. Vull un campió, una cara i un campió de pes pesat – Deontay Wilder. La divisió de pes pesat és massa petita, hi hauria d'haver un campió i és Deontay Wilder.”

En l'esdeveniment co-principal, Lleó “El Terratrèmol” Santa Creu (37-1-1, 19 KOs) es va convertir en campió del món de quatre divisions en capturar el pes súper ploma de l'AMB amb una decisió unànime Miguel Flores (24-3, 12 KOs).

“Guanyar aquest títol significa el món per a mi,” va dir Santa Creu. “Això és tot per als fans que em donen suport. Avui no m'he sentit ni he actuat com volia. Tornaré al gimnàs i tindré una gran lluita el 2020.”

L'acció va començar a escalfar a la tercera ronda, quan Santa Cruz va començar a trobar una llar per a la seva mà dreta recta que l'ajudaria a controlar gran part de la resta de la lluita. Flores es va ajustar i va utilitzar més moviment per intentar contrarestar l'agressió de Santa Cruz i també es va centrar a contrarestar aquelles mans dretes amb trets al cos..

“Estic content d'haver aconseguit la victòria,” va dir Santa Creu. “Miguel és un bon lluitador, em va fer una lluita dura i va demostrar que no era un empènyer. Hem fet una gran batalla.”

“Va ser una bona lluita i vaig demostrar que pertanyo a aquest nivell,” va dir Flores. “Acabo d'anar 12 rondes amb Leo Santa Cruz. No és un èxit en si mateix, però vaig frenar el seu ritme. Com he dit abans, no només es tracta de llançar cops de puny, però es tracta del coeficient intel·lectual de l'anell i vaig demostrar que el tinc.”

Malgrat Flores’ tàctiques, Santa Cruz va poder mantenir el control i frustrar el seu rival. L'àrbitre Tony Weeks li va restar un punt a Flores a la vuitena ronda a causa d'una retenció excessiva durant els molts intercanvis..

Em vaig girar per intentar caminar i posar els peus sota meu després de la caiguda. No estava intentant aturar la baralla ni res i vaig pensar que podria continuar. Ara només em queda viure amb això i tornar.”
