CLARESSA TAMING

“This has been long overdue. I’m just glad that Hammer is here and the fight is set. She’s been at my fights before but I can’t wait to get inside the ring and show her I’m the real champion.

“I’ve traveled to many different countries and dethroned champions around the world. Sa katapusan sa adlaw, I’m coming to fight and I recognize that she’s a great champion. To be a champion for all those years shows that she’s a good fighter. But I also look at resumes, and her resume is not as good as mine.

“I’m not someone coming to lay down. I’m not afraid of her. You don’t win belts by talking. You have to fight. I said two years ago I want to fight Christina Hammer in my seventh fight. It would have been if it weren’t for her medical issue. But now we’re here and ready for April 13.

“Abril 13 you’re going to see someone fold. Ako mosaad kaninyo, it will not be me. Make sure you all tune-in.

“I think for women’s boxing this is a true super fight that we’ve never gotten before. We’ve never had a fight like this in women’s boxing. It’s great to make this happen and us being from two parts of the world makes this fight even better.

“She’s not the tallest girl I’ve ever fought. I’m stronger than her and I know it. I got up from a knockdown and won. She can’t do that. I don’t believe she knows how to fight on the inside, but she better learn.

“I want to make her quit. I don’t want her to just know I’m a good fighter, I want her to know I’m great. I wish we could go 12 rounds, but I’ll be prepared for all 10 rounds.”

CHRISTINA HAMMER

“I’m very glad to be here and make this fight happen. I’m looking forward to April 13. I want to show the world who I am.

“This is a big risk to come from Germany to the U.S., but I believe the best should fight the best and I did what I had to so that this could happen. This fight can be a game changer for our sport.

“I will give everything to step out of the ring as a winner. I know Claressa Shields is also a great champion. She’s undefeated like me and that’s why people want to see the fight and that’s why we made it happen.

“I want to thank everyone who made this fight a reality and brought us to this stage. It’s huge for me to be here in New York and I am looking to win on April 13.

“This fight is the real deal. This is going to be a game changer for women’s boxing. I think we’re going to inspire a lot of female athletes who want to live their dream. It’s motivation for everyone.

“I’ve had the title for a long time. I always push myself. This is the fight I wanted to show everyone who is the best. I will be the undisputed champion.

“Shields is beatable. Hanna Gabriels caught her in the first round of their fight and I am taller and stronger than Gabriels. I want to finish the job if I get the chance.

“Mahimong mahitabo ang bisan unsang butang sa boksing. Andam kong moadto sa layo. Knockout is the goal but most importantly, I want to win.”

DMITRIY SALITA, President of Salita Promotions

“I’m honored to bring to the fans the first super fight in women’s boxing history. A lot of questions surround this fight. Will this be a classic like Leonard vs. Hearns, where the gold medalist handles the experienced pro, or like Mosley vs. De La Hoya, where the boxing pro took the gold medalist down. This fight is going to be for all of the belts and this recognizes the true value and impact of this fight.

“Christina Hammer has been a world champion for over nine years and has won titles in two divisions. She’s charismatic and a superstar in Germany and Europe. As a champion that she is, she’s traveling to the other side of the world to prove that she’s the best.

“Claressa made the Olympic team when she was 17 ka tuig ang panuigon, winning our only boxing medal at the 2012 Olympic dula. She’s the only boxer in U.S. history to win two Olympic gold medals in boxing. She’s had a very impressive pro career, beating world champions and top contenders in all her fights. She’s on her journey to be the best and this fight is a big step toward cementing herself as the GWOAT (greatest woman of all time).

“This is going to be a historic night of boxing. If you watch this fight live and in-person, you will want to hold onto your ticket as a memento.”

MARCOS TAFFET, Claressa Shields’ manager

“The media support for this fight is outstanding. This is a very special time. This fight is one of the most significant fights I’ve worked on in my career, because of the place it will hold in history.

“Two years ago I met Claressa Shields and we discussed her turning pro. We made a list of dreams and I promised Claressa I would do everything in my power to fulfill every one of them. We’ve had a wonderful journey together. One of those dreams was to make this undisputed championship fight happen. We’re going to keep making dreams happen.”

TOM LOEFFLER, Christina Hammer’s Advisor

“Without the fighters wanting this fight, events like this wouldn’t happen. Christina Hammer wants this challenge and she wants to prove she’s the best middleweight champion out there.

“These two fighters can be an example for a lot of male boxers. These are two undefeated fighters in their prime putting it all on the line to show who is the best. You don’t see that very often these days.

“This is going to be a fun promotion. This is a fight that’s a real 50-50 away. Claressa will be coming forward with her style and tenacity, going up against Christina’s experience. It’s for all the marbles”

Esteban Espinoza, President Sports & Hitabo Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.

“Let’s get one thing straight here. This isn’t just an important women’s fight. This isn’t just a high-quality women’s boxing match. This is a high-quality boxing match. This is an important fight. So certainly we have two very skilled women, we’re not going to ignore that fact. But this is one of the best fights that can be made in this sport. Two pound-for-pound boxers, ang labing maayo nga nakig-away sa mga labing maayo nga. If you are not interested in this fight, then candidly, you are not a boxing fan. This is as good as this sport gets.

“We at SHOWTIME have a long history showcasing the best in women’s boxing and MMA. Names like Laila Ali, Christy Martin, Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, Gina Carano, Cris Cyborg.; those are all fighters who made their debuts and that became stars on SHOWTIME. This has been a long-time commitment.

“The first nationally televised women’s MMA event was on SHOWTIME. The first domestic televised MMA women’s main event was on SHOWTIME. The first women’s boxing match that was nationally televised was on SHOWTIME. The first women’s main event boxing bout was also on SHOWTIME, and that obviously was Claressa just a couple of years ago.

“So here on this stage you’ve got two of the most elite athletes in the sport. Not two of the elite women’s fighters in the sport, but two of the elite athletes within this sport. Two-time gold medalist, the only American to do that consecutively, and a two-belt world champion versus a longtime middleweight champion who has dominated this division for nearly a decade.

“This is one of the best fights that can be made in the entire sport. We have two of the elite athletes in boxing and they are deserving of having everything that comes with a marquee event on SHOWTIME, including our Emmy Award-winning All Access series.”

JIM WYNKOOP, General Manager, Boardwalk Hall

“We are so excited to have this great fight coming to Boardwalk Hall. It will be our first championship fight in several years and we can’t wait.

“There is a huge history of boxing at Boardwalk hall in Atlantic City and we look forward to writing another chapter on April 13.”

“When Yomar fought the previously, we were not pleased, Yomar’s people made the decision for him to train with Iván Calderón so that he learned some techniques that Iván had already used very well. Iván is the architect of this and I recognize his work as a coach who charge of polishing this diamond. As a fighter, Iván made 18 world title defenses in the 105 ug 108 pounds of the WBO and will be a safe bet for the Hall of Fame”, Varcárcel said.

An excited Álamo said: “I am very happy with this tribute. This fight was for my people of Aguas Buenas and Puerto Rico, who so need moments of happiness. Everything can be done in life, just set some goals and fight for them, no matter how strong the winds are. If you are at the hands of Jesus Christ, our savior, nothing will be missing and I know that many young people will achieve it”.

Álamo’s trainer Iván Calderón said: “I want to thank Ángel Cotto, who was the one who physically prepared Yomar Álamo for the fight and without that work, you can’t do what you did. Thanks to Efraín Román and Armando for giving me the confidence to join the team. The discipline that Yomar had to represent Aguas Buenas with a lot of pride, knowing that his people are behind him, motivated him a lot”.

“From the Cagüitas neighborhood, we have a young man who, since he was a child, trained in the municipal gym of Aguas Buenas with Efraín Román and his father Armando Álamo. His dedication is remarkable throughout the town. Always running at 4:00 in the morning and that fills us with pride. His title is well deserved and thanks to the WBO for this great activity”, said the Aguas Buenas mayor Javier García Pérez, who was joined by the representative Jorge Navarro, on behalf of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico.

For the WBO, other from Valcárcel, Treasurer Adolfo Flores, Vice-Chairman of the Championship Committee Enrique Mendoza, Esq, Ratings Committee Chairman Edgardo López Sasso, Esq, and adviser Gustavo Olivieri, Esq, diha usab sa pagtambong sa. ��7D���z5üH

MANNY WOODS SA HEADLINING HOMETOWN AREA SHOW


SI RYAN KIELCZWESKI NAGBALIK SA PANGHITABO SA CO-MAIN


WALA MAHIMONG WELTERWEIGHT, MIKE OHAN JR. SA PAGPANGITA


BIYERNES, MARSO 29TH SA MEMORIAL HALL
SA MELROSE, Massachusetts


TIKET NGA GIBALIGYA KARON SA WWW.MURPHYSBOXING.COM



Boston, Massachusetts (Pebrero 26, 2019):


Murphys Boxing Mapasigarbuhon nga gipahibalo ang pagbalik sa junior middleweight contender ug fan favourite, Greg Vendetti (20-3-1, 12 KOs) nga sa pagkuha sa Manny Woods (16-8-1, 6 KOs) sa Biyernes, Marso 29 sa Memorial Hall sa Melrose, Massachusetts diha sa usa ka 10 round bout.


Gibaligya nako, kinsa sa miaging ting-init nakagawas usa ka grabe nga pagkasuko batok sa kaniadto naghagit sa titulo sa kalibutan,Yoshihiro Kamegai sa ESPN2, nakit-an ang iyang kaugalingon sa Top 10 ranggo ug gihatagan higayon nga makigsangka sa France Michel soro alang sa mga WBA Interim Super Welterweight Championship sa Paris kaniadtong miaging Disyembre.


'Ang Kontrabida', nga sa usa ka dili katuohan 16 pakigbatok sa sunodsunod nga kadaugan, miabut ang mubu sa iyang una nga shot sa usa ka titulo apan nagtinguha nga makabalik sa nagdaog nga kolum sa atubangan sa iyang mga tagahanga sa natawhan sa Memorial Hall sa usa ka lisud nga away batok sa nasamokan nga espesyalista, Manny Woods.


“Bisan pa sa pagkawala, 2018 usa ka katingad-an nga tuig alang kanako. Ako nakig-away 5 Mga Panahon ug ako ang adunay labing kadaugan sa akong karera isip usa ka B-side batok sa Kamegai nga nakuha ako sa Top 10. Gitanyagan kami sa Soro nga away alang sa titulo nga kalibutan nga titulo ug bisan kung gibati nako nga ang akong lawas nagkinahanglan og pahulay, dili nimo masulti nga dili ang ingon niana nga higayon. Wala nimo nahibal-an kung kanus-a o kung kini moabut pag-usab.”, gipatin-aw ang Stoneham, Lumad nga Massachusetts.


“Kini usa ka mabangis nga kampo. Gibansay ko pag-ayo. Naguba ang akong lawas. Bahin sa away, kini usa ka ngil-ad nga knockout apan kana ang bahin sa dula. Mapasigarbuhon ako kung giunsa ko kini pagdumala. Wala maulaw. Wala’y kaulaw. Wala ako gi-phase kini. Siyempre dili ako nalipay bahin niini apan ang akong una nga gihunahuna kung unsa ang among buhaton aron mamaayo? Gipakita kanako sa away nga kinahanglan ko nga magmaas. Padayon nga agresibo apan labi ka maalamon ug taktikal bahin niini. Usa ra kini nga panagsangka sa usa ka taas nga giyera.”


Sama sa alang sa pagkuha sa us aka panahon nga beterano sama sa Woods kung dali siya makapangayo alang sa usa ka tono, Gipakita ni Vendetti ang kinaiya nga naghimo kaniya nga usa ka paborito nga fan.


“Gusto ko nga away ug gusto nga mahimong usa ka tinuud nga away sa akong pagbalik. Ang pag-knockout sa usa ka ham ug egger sa una nga hugna dili makalipay alang kanako o sa mga fans. Pag-usik sa usa ka kampo ug pagputol sa gibug-aton nga wala’y labot nga wala ka’y nahibal-an. Ang kahoy usa ka lig-on, legit nga tawo nga moabut aron modaog. Kana ang akong kinahanglan ug gusto.”


Ug pagkahuman moadto 50/50 kontra kontra sa klase sa oposisyon sa miaging tuig, Gusto ba ni Vendetti nga mag-una 10 fighter na usab sa 2019?


“100%. Gusto nako nga mohimo usa ka pahayag batok sa Woods unya padayon nga pagpaayo sa matag away. Dili ko gusto nga mohawa bisan unsang lakang balik sa oposisyon. Ang tanan sa unahan. Basta himsog ra ko, Awayan ko ang bisan kinsa sa dibisyon.”


Sa co-main event, kauban nga Murphys Boxing stablemate ug paboritong fan sa Massachusetts, Ryan Kielczweski (29-4, 11 KOs) kuhaon ang usa ka kaatbang aron mapangalanan sa usa ka 8 hugna nga indigay sa lightweight division.


‘Ang Prinsipe nga Polako’ gikan sa iyang pasundayag nga pagpangawat pabalik-balik nga panagsangka Tommy Coyle sa TD Garden sa Boston kaniadtong miaging Oktubre sa undercard sa Demetrio Andrade WBO world middleweight title fight.


Bisan pa nahulog ang desisyon, Kielczweski, kinsa gikan sa Quincy, Massachusetts, nagpakita talento sa klase sa kalibutan ug daghang kasingkasing sa usa ka all out war nga adunay arena sa panon sa mga tiil.


Gipakita usab sa kard ang mahimong labing bag-o nga pagdugang sa nagtubo nga roster sa Murphys Boxing, Mike Ohan Jr.. (8-0, 5 KOs).


Ang anak nga lalaki sa usa ka inila nga propesyonal nga manlalaban sa lugar sa New England kaniadtong 1990s, Ohan Jr.. misunod sa lakang sa iyang amahan nga moadto 82-10 sa mga amateurs ug pagkuha daghang Bag-ong England Golden Gloves mga titulo.


Nakig-away sa usa ka talagsaon 8 panahon sa 2 tuig ug pagtaas sa lebel sa kompetisyon sa matag outing, lakip ang us aka us aka us aka desisyon bahin sa beterano, Daniel Sostre sa iyang ulahi nga away, Si Ohan naa sa paspas nga track ingon usa ka propesyonal. Ang nakadayeg nga kadaugan nagdala sa batan-ong manlalaban, nga gikan sa Holbrook, Massachusetts, gitanyagan usa ka kontrata sa Murphys Boxing.


“Labi na akong naghinamhinam nga mahimong bahin sa pamilya nga Murphys Boxing.”, ingon ni Ohan, Jr. kinsay makig-away sa usa ka kontra aron mahinganlan sa a 6 round bout sa kard.


“Ang pag-uban sa usa ka aktibo nga kompanya nga pang-promosyon maghatag kanako oportunidad nga molambo ingon usa ka manlalaban ug ipakita ang akong mga kahanas samtang nagpaingon ako sa akong pangandoy sa us aka adlaw nga mahimong usa ka kampyon sa kalibutan.”

3 daghang mga undercard bout ang ipahibalo sa dali nga panahon aron magsugod ang gabii sa hinigugma nga venue sa throwback nga nahimo’g usa ka punoan sa Murphys Boxing.

“Grabe kini. Gibati gyud nako nga ingon ang usa ka gladiator nga nakig-away sa usa ka coliseum kung naa ako sa Memorial Hall ug alang sa usa ka gladiator duha ra ang kapilian… kadaugan o kamatayon.”

The event titled “Small Town Big Showdown” was promoted by Medina’s promoter, TMB & PRB Entertainment.

In the first round the 18-year old high school senior Medina, who resides in San Antonio, Texas, dictated the pace using his jab to set up his power shots. Casiano did his best to apply pressure throughout the fight but was unsuccessful as Medina used his superior boxing skills to counter his attack. Medina finished off the final round boxing on his toes as he cruised to victory.

“Casiano came to fight and was my toughest opponent so far in my career,” said Medina. “He kept coming forward, so I had to use my boxing ability to set up my shots. I know I’m not going to knock everyone out so going the distance for the first time was good for my confidence. I want to thank my team for all their hard work, and I can’t wait to get back in the ring.”

“Medina was spectacular and showed he can box his way to victory,” miingon Greg Hannley, CEO sa Prince Ranch Boxing. “He had a great crowd that came up from San Antonio and all of them got their money’s worth. Medina is a rising star in this sport, and we will have him back in the ring very soon.”

“Ricky Medina has all the tools to be something special in boxing,” miingon Rick Morones, of TBM & PRB Entertainment who promotes Medina. “His amateur pedigree showed in this fight as he boxed beautifully for the full four rounds. He dominated this fight and we are all happy with his performance.”

MINNEAPOLIS (Pebrero 24, 2019) – Anthony Dirrell (33-1-1, 24 KOs) napildiAvni Yildirim (21-2, 12 KOs)by technical split decision (96-94 X 2 for Dirrell, 98-92 for Yildirim) for the vacant WBC Super Middleweight World Championship in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes from the Armory in Minneapolis. Referee Mark Nelson stopped the contest in the tenth round due to an accidental clash of heads and a cut over Dirrell’s left eye with the decision going to the scorecards.

“I was upset with the stoppage because I wanted finish the fight like a champion,” Miingon Dirrell. “It feels great getting my WBC belt back. We want to unify against Caleb Plant or any of the champions. I’m just going to go home, take some time, talk to my camp and then we’ll go from there. If the Benavidez fight comes calling then I’ll fight him.

“I thought I was winning this fight by more than what the judges had,” added Dirrell. “I was jabbing him and he was applying some pressure, but that’s just what he does. I won the fight though and that’s all that matters.”

Minneapolis-native Jamal James (25-1, 12 KOs) scored a crowd-pleasing technical knockout win over Janer Gonzalez (19-2-1, 15 KOs). Midway through the sixth stanza, James appeared to drop Gonzalez with a straight overhand right, but referee Gary Miezwa declared it a slippage. Near the end of the sixth round, James landed another knockdown and this time it counted and hurt Gonzalez. At the close of round six, Gonzalez went to his corner and never came out with the fight being declared a sixth-round stoppage as Gonzalez was unable to answer the bell for the seventh round.

“This is the best crowd I’ve ever fought in front of,” said James. “We packed this place out. Middle of winter, snow all around us and they still came out and showed a lot of support. I can’t even explain the feeling to come out here and stop (Gonzalez). The only question I have is where’s my belt? I’m ranked third in the WBA. Keith Thurman got the belt, Pacquiao got the belt. But in all honesty, whoever gives me that opportunity I’m stepping in there with them.

“He gave me a great fight, but at the end of the day I had too much to offer and he couldn’t get back up,” continued James. “I just kept my range and was able to counter on him. And when he was coming in he was coming in real wild and opening himself up for some big shots that I was able to take advantage of. The first time he went down I thought it was a legitimate knockdown, but the ref was a good ref. I definitely caught him with a good combination and a nasty body shot for the second knockdown. Human nga, I knew that took the rest of the fight out of him and all I had to do was finish the job.”

“I was thinking this was a very important fight for my career,” miingon si Gonzalez. “I was so happy for this fight, it just didn’t go my way. I am going to fight again, bisan. Every fight is a learning experience for me.”

The FS1 and FOX Deportes opening bout featured a hard-fought rematch betweenJeison Rosario (18-1-1, 13 KOs) ug Marcos Hernandez (13-2-1, 3 KOs). In February of 2018, the two fought to a draw. In the rematch, Rosario was able to secure a technical knockout with referee Celestino Ruiz halting the action 2:45 into the ninth frame. Sa panahon sa stoppage, Hernandez was up on judge Kyle Shiely’s scorecard (77-75) with Rosario ahead on judges John Mariano’s and Tim Taggart’s scorecards (78-74, 77-75).

“He let his guard down and he kept making the same mistakes,” Miingon Rosario. “When I saw the opportunity, I dropped him.

“The first time we fought I wasn’t ready,” added Rosario. “I was weak. But I learned from the first fight what to do in the second one. That’s how I took him out.”

“It was a close fight that could have went either way,” Miingon Hernandez. “He hit me with a good shot. I got up and felt O.K. I was just trying to dodge some shots and he hit me with a left. He was firing and I just should have thrown back.

“I think the ref stopped the fight early, but that’s not my job,” continued Hernandez. “I’d definitely welcome a third fight with Rosario, bisan. I’ve never been afraid to fight anyone, so fighting him a third time wouldn’t be a problem at all.”

In the Premier Boxing Champions on FS2 prelims, Bryant Perrella (16-2, 13 KOs) won a unanimous decision (78-74, 79-73 X 2) sa ibabaw sa Breidis Prescott (31-16, 22 KOs).

“I’m very happy with my performance tonight,” Miingon Perrella. “I felt great going the distance. My endurance was fantastic. I would have been much more aggressive and thrown harder shots, but I hurt my hand in the second round and it was hurting the rest of the fight. I just used my jab and ring generalship to control the fight and get the win.”

The FS2 co-feature saw Money Powell IV (9-0, 5 KOs) stop Javier Frazier (8-9-1, 4 KOs) by third-round technical knockout (2:03). Powell landed 86 punches in the bout, 36 of which were to Frazier’s body.

“This training camp we really worked on a lot of body shots,” said Powell. “I feel like body shots are neglected nowadays and body shots pay the bills, break you down real quick.”

In the FS2 swing bout, Austin Dulay (13-1, 10 KOs) scored a very quick first-round knockdown of Yardley Cruz (24-13, 14 KOs) before cruising to a third-round stoppage (:27).

“I just listened to my coaches and they told me to be a dog and come forward,” said Dulay. “I thought I had him stopped with that first knockdown after the opening bell, but I didn’t want to rush into anything because he has a ton of experience.

“I want a rematch with Chris Colbert right away on the April 13 card here at the Armory,” added Dulay. “I got back in camp after that loss, figured out what was wrong, got a nutritionist and moved up to 135 libra. I feel better than ever, so I’m definitely ready for that rematch.”

In the opening televised bout on FS2, Justin Pauldo (12-1, 6 KOs) scored a first-round knockdown and stoppage (1:17) batok sa Federico Malespina (16-11-2, 2 KOs) who was unable to continue.

“I landed a solid straight right hand,” said Pauldo. “I saw him fall back into the ropes and I knew I had him hurt. Busa, I touched the body and got him out of there quickly.”

LONDON – February 23, 2019 - Chris Eubank Jr.. earned a career-defining victory with a hard-fought unanimous decision over British rival and former two-time world champion James DeGale in a super middleweight grudge match Saturday on SHOWTIME from The O2 in London.



Eubank, the son of British boxing legend and former two-division world champion Chris Eubank Sr., floored DeGale twice en route to the clear decision, nga mi-iskor og 114-112, 115-112, 117-109. VIDEO PANGUNANG PUNTO: https://s.sho.com/2E6mWI8



Working in his first bout with a full-time trainer, Eubank fought a controlled fight. The former world title challenger floored DeGale in a rough moment in the second, stunning his rival with a big left hook against the ropes and flooring him moments later with a strong right cross that sent DeGale to the canvas for just the second fight of his career.



DeGale, who established his championship career as a slick southpaw, was unable to jab at range and couldn’t handle the constant pressure from Eubank. The former Olympic Gold Medalist resorted to lunging from the outside and was largely ineffective on the inside, often clinching while in close quarters.



“I knew he was going to come at me like that,” Eubank said. “He’s a slick southpaw, but my game plan worked. Smart pressure and not getting too ahead of myself. He’s a hell of a fighter, hell of a competitor but at the end of the day my head and my heart won this fight.”



“There was a lot of animosity leading to this fight. Ako misulti kaniya, ‘This is my time,’ and it was. He’s a veteran of the game, he throws big shots and he manages to stay up. To get up after those knockdowns is a statement about his tenacity and the type of fighter he is.”



The second knockdown came in the 10th as Eubank landed a powerful left hook that buckled DeGale with just 30 segundos sa round. Sa higayon nga pag-usab, DeGale tried to clinch to avoid the knockdown, but his hand touched the canvas and was ruled just the third knockdown of his career.



Human sa away, DeGale, who was the first British fighter to earn an Olympic Gold Medal and a world championship, appeared to be leaning toward retirement.



“I definitely I didn’t do enough,” DeGale said. “He was on it and I didn’t do enough. You have to do more than enough to counter someone that came forward like Chris.



“I’m going to go back and talk to my team, sa akong pamilya, and decide. I left my mark in boxing. I won an Olympic Medal, two world titles and it may be the time to hang it up.”



While DeGale contemplates retirement, Eubank has his sights set on another shot at a world title.



“This was the most important fight of my career, and I made a statement. I’m back where I’m supposed to be, at the top of the food chain. I’m coming for all the belts in the middleweight and super middleweight division. I’m fighting everyone they put in front of me.



“I’m glad to make my American debut here on SHOWTIME. I’m glad to be introduced to the American public this way – making a statement.”



Sa pag-abli bout sa Showtime kampyonato sa boxing nga doubleheader, undefeated heavyweight Joe Joyce kept his knockout record intact with a sixth-round TKO of former heavyweight world champion Bermane Stiverne.



After an exciting first round, Joyce opened up the action in the second with a monstrous straight right and unloaded from bell to bell against a defenseless Stiverne, who continued to punch back despite eating damaging shots. After a series of combos in the opening minute of the third, Joyce caught Stiverne with a straight right hand to send him to the canvas for the fifth time in his professional career. Stiverne survived the round while throwing looping shots but failed to return any meaningful punches.



Joyce, ang 2016 Olympic Silver Medalist, consistently set up a powerful straight right behind an accurate and effective left jab throughout the fight. With Joyce (8-0, 8 KOs) continuing to tee off against a largely defenseless Stiverne, referee Howard Foster stepped in to halt the contest at 2:26 of the sixth. Stiverne (25-4-1, 21 KOs) did not protest the stoppage.



“Big respect to Stiverne – like a true champion, he’s very tough and was still throwing shots, but I guess I was just a bit too much,” Joyce said. “It was about being patient. He’s such a tough guy that he took those shots no problem.



“I was hitting him with everything I had, including the kitchen sink. I listened to Abel (Sanchez) in the corner, did everything he said and it went well. My jab was really effective. I’m a seasoned vet. I picked up my poise and remained calm along the way.



“Big things are coming. My next one will be for the WBA Regular (Ulohan) and I’ll be back in the gym soon. I need to have a couple more fights like this and then I’ll be ready for the big champions.”



Highlights of former world champion Lee Selby’s lightweight debut were featured during Saturday’s telecast. A former champion at featherweight, Selby (27-2, 9 KOs) overcame a second round accidental head butt to win a 12-round unanimous decision (116-112, 116-112, 115-114) over Omar Douglas (19-3, 13 KOs).



An encore presentation of Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader will air tonight/Saturday at 10 sa gabii. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME, Sunday at 9 am. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and Monday at 10 sa gabii. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Three Hall of Famers will round out the telecast team – Emmy® award winning reporter Jim Gray, boxing historian Steve Farhood as unofficial ringside scorer, and world-renowned ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr.



Here’s what the fighters and their respective camps had to say during Thursday’s press conference at Intercontinental at The O2:



SANTIAGO DEGALE:

“I vacated my title for fights like this. Chris Eubank has been calling my name for a long time and finally I get a chance to punch him in his face.



“I have no respect for him. None. This guy is a diluted idiot. And on Saturday night I can’t wait to deal with him. I’m going to come and give it to him properly. He can’t box. We’ve all heard this before.



“This is the biggest fight of his career. It’s retirement time. Whoever loses this fight is finished. It’s do or die on Saturday…His retirement fight is here. It’s his last fight, Ako mosaad kaninyo nga.



“I’m proven. Ako didto, gibuhat nga. I’ve won everything. He’s done nothing. And I’m going to retire him.



“Eubank is a tough fighter, siya lig-on nga. He has a lot of good attributes, but I’m too good for him. To mix it up and go to the very top you need more than strength and toughness. Every time he’s stepped up, he’s lost.



“The fear of losing is because I know what’s on the line. This is do or die. If I can’t beat him, if I can’t beat Chris Eubank Jr., Ako gibuhat.



“A lot of people think I’ve seen better days. A lot of people think I’m on the decline. I’ve had issues in the past, but I can honestly say I’m fully fit. I’m in the best shape I’ve been for a long, hataas nga panahon, physical and mentally. When I feel like I feel no one can beat me.



“If I can’t beat Chris that means I’m shot, that means I’m over the hill.”



CHRIS EUBANK JR.:

“This guy is a bum. He talks a good game. He’s going to have a good go, but at the end of the day I’m going to be too much for him.



“We are both at a stage where we can’t lose. We are both fighting for our careers. He knows he can’t handle me. He’s asking himself, ‘Can I survive?’ And the answer is absolutely not.



“There’s nothing he can do in that ring that I can’t handle. I’m going to box his head off.



“I’ve got a full time trainer now. For the first time in my career, I have a trainer day in and day out focusing on strategy to prepare me for what James is – a slick southpaw. That’s why I’m so confident. If he wants to run, we have the gameplan. If he wants to stand and swing, we have the gameplan. We have a plan for everything.



“What matters is that James’ career is over in a few days. I sent him a message after he lost to [George] Groves saying he needs to keep up because we are going to fight one day. And now that we’re finally here I look into his eyes and I don’t see a confident guy.



“It’s my time. I’m expecting the best he’s ever been and that’s still not going to be enough.



“I’m a world-level fighter. Anyone in the boxing game knows that. This is my opportunity to prove that once and for all to set the record straight and prove I’m the real deal. I know this is a defining fight in my career. It is do or die and I’m ready for that.



“James knows what’s coming. Sa katapusan sa adlaw, his last performances haven’t been up to par, but i don’t think he respected his [past] kaaway. He respects me, and I respect him and that’s why this is a real fight.



“I’ve been in the game for a long time but this is just the beginning of a long journey for me. This is my biggest fight. Ako adunay aron sa pagdaug sa. Kon ako modaog, I’m back on the world stage. Beating James DeGale sets me up for a world title which is the whole reason I started in this game.”





JIM MCDONNELL:

“There are levels to boxing. Chris was a good prospect coming through but he’s not on the same level as James. He’ll find out what it takes to be a world champion. James DeGale is levels above Chris Jr.



“Chris may have all the drive he needs but he doesn’t have the skills to beat James DeGale.



“I know James is not losing. James DeGale is probably the best British fighter I’ve seen in my country.”





CHRIS EUBANK SR.:

“I’ve seen the pinnacle of James and it’s intoxicating. With Chris, not everything I’ve said has been applied. It may have been heard, but not applied. What I said works. I wouldn’t have 19 championship wins if it didn’t.



“I’m not convinced [Chris will win] because James DeGale has pedigree. Being an [Olympic] Gold Medalist and former world champion is real. I respect the man’s abilities. Junior hasn’t.



“My son looks at the physical aspect of boxing and, from a physical point of view, I don’t think there is anyone who can stand with him. But boxing isn’t just physical – it’s also spiritual, and that’s where Junior lacks. I don’t know whether he has that.



“This is a 50/50 fight and for the first time I am petrified of what the outcome can be. I am petrified that Junior may not win this fight.



“This is the wisdom of someone who has been here. You never underestimate your opponent based on past performances. Anyone who thinks this guy is on a slide because of past performances is making a mistake.



“From a physical aspect, Junior has the upper hand. From a spiritual aspect and pedigree aspect, James has the upper hand, and that’s why this is a 50/50 away.



“I do know Chris has learned and let’s see what is produced. It can be a brilliant fight.”





PAULIE Malignaggi:

“I like our chances. I know the guy that I have been in camp with. The things I’ve seen, I like. They are much more positive this time around.



“You can’t underestimate a guy like Eubank. He always comes to win. Apan, regardless of the gameplan, there is a certain mentality and my guy has it. He’s a Gold Medalist and he knows what mentality to bring on Saturday.



“James has won two major world titles, an Olympic Gold Medal. Chris has had some good wins but when he went to that elite level, he lost. Chris is a good fighter but he’s not beaten this level of opposition.”

EROS CORREA RETURNS TO THE RING THIS SATURDAY IN MEXICO

Leave sa usa ka comment

SAN JOSE, SAMA (Pebrero 21, 2019) – Undefeated super bantamweight prospect and rising star, Eros Correa (5-0, 5 KOs), returns to the ring this Saturday in Tijuana, Mexico. The 4-round bout is being promoted by GM3 Boxing Promotions ug Gonzalez Boxing Promotions, and will take place at Cheer’s Bar, sa Tijuana. Correa will face Jose Pech, a veteran of over 30 away.


“Ako nagtan-aw sa unahan sa niini nga away,” said Eros Correa, who’s guided by Cali Boxing Management. “My last fight in Tijuana was my toughest opponent to date so I’m not looking past Pech. Fighting in Mexico has been great for my career. With each fight I feel I’m getting better and better. I’m gaining a lot of experience and my confidence is at an all time high. I’m also starting to build a fan base out there. I want to thank my team for all their hard work. This Saturday I’ll be going for another knockout.”

Since signing with Cali Boxing Management last summer, Correa has been fighting on a consistent basis, going undefeated in four fights, tanan pinaagi sa knockout. This will be Correa’s second fight of 2019. In his last bout he scored a fourth round TKO.

“We are happy with Eros’ progress and we feel he’s developing into a great fighter, one that we believe will make some serious noise in the super bantamweight division,” miingon Andrew Bocanegra, of Cali Boxing Management. “After this bout we have plans to have him fight in the Bay Area, where all his family and friends will be in attendance. He’s an incredibly talented fighter to say the least.”

“Eros’ amateur pedigree being an alternate on the 2012 Olympic team is evident and its transitioning in the pros,” miingon Jessie Sanchez, of Cali Boxing Management. “Fighting in Mexico has been tremendous for his development.”
