NATIONAL HARBOR(Marzo 25, 2019) – Ex campione del mondo Sergey Lipinets (15-1, 11 KO) stopped former two-division championLamont Peterson(35-5-1, 17 KO)in tondo 10 Sunday night in an action-packed welterweight showdown that headlined Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes from MGM National Harbor in Maryland.
“I feel great about the statement I made to the welterweight division,” said Lipinets. “I just fought an excellent fighter. This let me know where I’m at in the 147-pound weight class. I went into deep waters and showed that I belong.”
The fight featured near non-stop action and a thrilling finish, already earning Fight of the Year buzz after its’ conclusion. Peterson only occasionally retreated in defense for a moment or two while Lipinets was determined to close off the distance, making sure he didn’t let Peterson use his reach advantage, while using his own varied attack on the inside to occasional success.
“You can see that I have no problem with the size,” said Lipinets. “Peterson is an excellent fighter with unbelievable skills and he’s showed me what I can really do.”
Peterson was dedicated to attacking the body, punctuating numerous combinations with vicious left hooks to the midsection. He was the busier fighter but was still taking shots from Lipinets’ combination of hooks, uppercuts and body shots. Eventually one of those shots appeared to change the tide of the fight, when a straight right from Lipinets connected and clearly hurt Peterson.
The counter put Peterson on his back foot and in survival mode for the final minute of the eighth round until hearing the bell. With the momentum sharply turning toward Lipinets through round nine and midway through round 10, Lipinets finally landed a sweeping left hook during an exchange that hurt Peterson and signaled that the end was near.
“It was back and forth and we were hitting each other with some good shots,” Ha detto Peterson. “It kind of just came out of nowhere at the end.”
Lipinets followed up and put Peterson on the canvas as the towel came in from Peterson’s corner, stopping the fight at 2:59 di turno 10.
The exciting action fight featured both fighters throwing a career high number of punches, according to CompuBox. Both fighters landed a nearly identical number of power punches (189-188 for Peterson), with Lipinets landing 23 in each of the final two rounds.
“You’ve seen what I did at 140-pounds and now what I can do here,” said Lipinets. “I made a big jump in competition from my last fight to this one. My new trainer Joe Goossen gets all the credit. We’ve had an excellent camp with perfect sparring that taught me a lot and got me ready for tonight.”
“There were no easy days in our gym for training camp,” said Goossen. “I feel like we clicked together and he got the best out of me because he was so agreeable to my methods and the way I pushed him.
“I thought Sergey’s defense was very good tonight. His jab worked good and he put real pressure on. The left uppercut was a good shot for him and he used a variety of punches in this fight to get it done.”
Dopo la lotta. Peterson, along with lifelong trainer and fellow Washington, D.C.-native Barry Hunter, announced his retirement from boxing in front of his hometown fans after a career that saw him win titles at 140 e 147-libbre.
“It’s been a long career but today is the day,” Ha detto Peterson. “I’m thankful for the support. I love everyone here and I’m always going to support this area, but I’m sure it’s time for me to hang it up. I couldn’t go out in a better way here at home. This will be the last time you see me in the ring.”
The night also featuredAnthony Peterson (37-1-1, 24 KO), Lamont’s brother, as he fought to a split-draw against former championArgenis Mendez (25-5-2, 12 KO) in a back-and-forth super lightweight showdown.
Peterson established his movement early on as he looked to pick his spots to attack Mendez with combinations to the head and body. Peterson flashed good speed and was the busier fighter especially early, often putting Mendez on the defensive during flurries in the first half of the fight.
“I could have thrown more punches in the first half of the fight,” said Mendez. “I think that was the difference, but I don’t think you can win the fight on the run.I knew that I was on his home turf and it was in my mind to do a little bit extra. Peterson is a great fighter and he’s good for the sport so I knew that I had to push the fight.”
Mendez began the fight looking to counter, but picked up his offense working off of a jab that swelled up Peterson’s left eye in the late rounds of the fight. Mendez was able to land with left hooks and uppercuts to open up his offense as the fight went on.
“Last night was actually the first night I really studied Mendez’s fights and I knew he was good and slick,” Ha detto Peterson. “There were times I didn’t engage cause of his countering. I took my time and used my jab and moved.”
While Peterson held a robust 137 a 83 advantage in punches landed, it was only a six punch difference in power punches landed. Dopo 10 rounds all three judges saw the fight differently, with one score of 96-94 for each fighter and the third judge scoring it 95-95 resulting in the split draw.
“I didn’t think it was a draw,” said Mendez. “I know every round was close, but I think I won the fight. I don’t want to say it was easy but I think I won comfortably. He was running the whole fight and I was trying to throw counterpunches and catch him.”
“I can’t be that disappointed because I didn’t lose, but I was just happy to fight in front of my fans,” Ha detto Peterson. “I’ve been out of the ring for a long time and I think did okay, but if the judges saw a draw they saw a draw. I’m not mad about it.”
Additional action featured super welterweight contenderJamontay Clark (14-1, 7 KO) surviving an early knockdown to earn a narrow unanimous decision over previously unbeatenVernon Brown (10-1-1, 7 KO) dopo 10 rounds of action.
Brown scored the first big blow of the bout, landing a perfect counter right hook on the inside that sent Clark crashing into the ropes. Referee Kenny Chevalier ruled it a knockdown, determining that Clark had used the ropes to avoid hitting the canvas.
“He had the reach and I was trying to catch him. I was throwing my hook but I was a little off. I still think I won the fight. I caught him with the better shots. He was just slapping me with the hook and trying to catch up that way.
Clark was able to survive the onslaught and finish the round and appeared to recover until behing hurt again late in round four. Da lì, Clark began to increase his punch output, out working Brown on his way to a 162 a 97 advantage in total punches landed.
“I boxed a little bit better the last few rounds and used my height,” ha detto Clark. “I made him miss and made him over reach. That was the game plan.”
Brown tried to do more work on the inside with big power punches that would hurt Clark and potentially end the fight. Secondo Compubox, solo 49 seconds on average per round were fought on the inside, allowing Clark to gain an advantage in the second half of the fight.
Dopo 10 rounds the judges saw the fight close, but all three ruled in favor of Clark with totals of 96-93 due volte e 95-94.
“I’ve been down before and I’ve seen the worst of the worst,” ha detto Clark. “This was nothing. I just kept grinding. I got the win and now I’m going to sit down and see what’s next for me.”
“If they want to do it again, let’s do it again,” ha detto Brown. “Let’s make it a 12 rounder. I don’t think he can survive 12 giri con me. My coach knew that I needed the knockout but it’s still on to the next. I’m just going to go into the gym and work even harder.”
Prior to the main telecast, PBC Prelims on FS1 sawAaron Coley (16-2-1, 7 KO) win a split-decision overBrandon Quarles(21-5-1, 10 KO) con il punteggio di 77-75 for Quarles and 79-73 e 78-74 for Coley after eight-rounds of super welterweight action.

Boston, Massachusetts (Marzo 22, 2019):
Coming off the heels of the sold out4th Annual St. Giorno Scontro di Patrickwhich has amassed over225,000 online views, Murphys Boxingis proud to announce the creation of theWarrior’s Code Award to celebrate the achievements of New England’s most legendary boxers.
The award’s first recipients will be2019 International Boxing Hall of Fame indotto,Tony DeMarco and one of Massachusetts’ most decorated amateur boxers, Mike D’Ampolo.
Both fighters will be presented with their awards nextVenerdì, March 29that the Murphys Boxing event atMemorial Hall in Melrose, Massachusetts.
A 87 anni,Tony DeMarco holds the distinction of beingboxing’s oldest living world championand has been a beloved figure in the Boston sports world for over half a century.
Known as ‘Nardo’, the Boston fighter of Italian descent, turned pro unbelievably just a few years after the end of World War II. In un 14 year career, DeMarco went 52-12-1 while fighting during boxing’s golden age. His legendary battles with Hall of Famers likeCarmen Basilio e Kid Gavilinmade DeMarco a star and he won thewelterweight world title in 1955 contro Johnny Saxtonat the original Boston Garden in a fight that was voted one ofBoston’s Top 10 Sports Moments.
DeMarco, who still can be found ringside at Murphys Boxing events and whose statue resides in Boston’s North End where he still lives, will receive the long overdue honor of joining the International Boxing Hall of Fame as a 2019 inductee this June.
“Murphys Boxing has always been very welcoming to me and my family.”, explains DeMarco.
“They have a true respect for boxing’s history. It’s an honor to be given their first ever award just months before entering the International Boxing Hall of Fame. I am looking forward to the evening.”
Joining DeMarco will be Melrose’s own, Mike D’Ampolo, who is considered one of the most successful amateurs ever to come out of the state of Massachusetts.
D’Ampolo was a Campione dei guanti d'oro del New England, un 3x New England AAU Champ, un 2x Eastern Regional Championand participated in the1984 Trials olimpicibarely missing a spot on the legendary1984 USA Olympic Teamwith his weight class ultimately being represented by none other thanEvander Holyfield.
On advice from his father, D’Ampolo made the decision to not enter the professional ranks and went onto become a successful businessman with his company, M&L Transit Systems based out of his hometown of Melrose, Massachusetts.
“I’m humbled. Back when we were fighting, there wasn’t much recognition or credit given to amateurs.”, says D’Ampolo.
“I used to be in the paper back then but it’s been a long time and I’m just very grateful to Murphys Boxing for remembering and honoring me here in my hometown.”
Fondatore di Murphys Boxing, Ken Caseyexplains the promotion’s decision to name Demarco and D’Ampolo as the first two recipients of the award named after one of the Dropkick Murphy’s signature songs, "The Warrior’s Code" che è un omaggio a un altro eroe della boxe del New England, Micky Ward.
“The idea stemmed from Tony DeMarco finally being inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame. We wanted to celebrate Tony at one of our local shows before his big day and in talking we realized their were so many other retired New England based fighters both professional and amateur that, like Tony, deserved more recognition.”
“The Warrior’s Code Award is a way for us to honor those locally who have come before us and given so much to the sport we love. Boston and beyond has such a rich boxing history, it’s important for Murphys Boxing to respect and honor that as well as educate a new generation about these warriors that have paved the way.”
La presentazione di Murphys Boxing’s 1st Annual Warrior’s Code Awardwill take place during the Murphys Boxing “Mayhem in Melrose” event next Friday, March 29th which features the return of Stoneham’sGreg Vendetti (20-3-1, 12 KO) vs. Manny Woods (16-8-1, 6 KO) nel 10 round main event as well as a packed undercard of Massachusetts based fighters including:

NEW YORK (Marzo 20, 2019) – International boxing refereeArthur Mercante, Jr.will join his father, alla fine degli anni Arthur Mercante, Sr., in the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) to become the first father-son inducted into the NYSBHOF.
The 24-member Class of 2019 will be inducted at the eighth annual NYSBHOF induction dinner ondomenica pomeriggio (12:30-5:30 p.m. E), Aprile 28, a Russo On The Bay di Howard Beach, New York.
Mercante, Jr. was an amateur boxer who lost in the 1976 New York Golden Gloves toJuan LaPorte (NYSBHOF inductee, Classe di 2014). “I felt I beat him, and I wanted to turn pro,” Mercante, Jr. explained how he got into officiating. “My father said no as long as I lived in his house, but he suggested I try referring.”

Contemporaneamente, Jack hit me in the face with a left hook, and I slipped. Beau asked me if I was alright. I said I was fine. Dopo, he said that he had hit me with a good shot and that I owned him a good shot. Dopo la lotta, he told me I can take a good shot.”

Ecco ciò che i partecipanti alla conferenza stampa aveva da dire Martedì dal Palms Restaurant Downtown L.A.:
DANNY GARCIA
“Mi sono allenato duramente. Ho visto Granados combattere un paio di volte e so cosa può fare. Sono entusiasta di essere di nuovo a Los Angeles, perché questo è dove le stelle combattono. Questa è un'altra battaglia che mi può arrivare dove voglio andare nella mia carriera.
“La mia mentalità è che devo smettere di Granados. Nessuno lo ha fermato e devo farlo per fare una dichiarazione. Non ha mai combattuto una contro pugile come me e sono sicuramente il nemico più difficile che ha affrontato. Ho intenzione di mostrare tutto per ottenere l'arresto.
“Questo è un altro lotta per la mia eredità. There have been a lot of great fights in my career and this is another important one for me. I know he’s coming to fight, but I’m looking to make this one of my easiest wins.
“He’s a tough and aggressive fighter who likes to throw a lot of punches. Ha fame, and that’s the type of guy that you have to watch out for. I’ve got to handle my business against Granados before I look to any bigger fights.
“This is a big platform for me to perform on. I’m going to show the world why I’m one of the best fighters in the world.
“I plan on winning with style. I’m going to bring a lot of skill, a lot of will, a lot of power and I’m going to entertain my fans. Aprile 20 will be the ‘Danny Garcia Show.'”
ADRIAN GRANADOS
“Questa sarà una grande lotta. Siamo due combattenti che portano esso. Vengo per una vittoria nella moda dominante. Questa è la lotta che ho voluto per un po '.
“Non ho avuto la strada più semplice ed è per questo che sto cercando di ottenere il mio rispetto in questa lotta. Non vedo l'ora a questo. Sta andando essere un barnburner. Che l'uomo migliore vincere.
“Se mi sta sottovalutando sarà sicuramente un grosso errore da parte sua. Non credo che lo farà anche se. Credo che si rende conto ora è in per una lotta. Se lui non mi conosceva prima, lo fa ora. Ho intenzione di dargli un pezzo della mia mente aprile 20.
“Non sono mai stato preso cura di arrivo. Ho sempre dovuto lavorare di più per arrivare dove sono a. Danny e io in fondo avevano gli stessi riconoscimenti nei dilettanti, and I always gave him kudos for what he’s done in his whole career, but he doesn’t know what I’ve gotten through to get here.
“I’m coming to get my respect in this fight. I’m going to make Danny fight and see what he’s made of. I’ve always had a chip on my shoulder but being able to take out a fighter like Danny is motivating me to another level.”
TOM BROWN, Presidente di Promotions TGB
“Premier Boxing Champions has made a major commitment to bringing some of the best and biggest fights to Southern California. We started with the Wilder vs. Fury heavyweight title fight downtown in December and we’re back again in April at the Dignity Health Sports Park. This is the premier outdoor boxing venue in the United States and we have a great show there on April 20.
“Danny Garcia è un combattente ritorno al passato. Una sala primo scrutinio of Famer, a mio parere. A 140-libbre ha assunto il migliore nella divisione e mai marcia indietro da una sfida. Danny era un 2-1 perdente quando ha combattuto Lucas Matthysse, e sapevamo che cosa è successo dopo, ha dimostrato i dubbiosi sbagliato. Sono così felice di averlo di nuovo in California su questo grande carta.
“Adrian Granados potrebbe forse essere seduto qui con un record di 27-1, dal momento che tutti, ma una delle sue perdite sono state da dividere o decisione a maggioranza, e di solito è nel cortile del suo avversario. Lui è un veterano battaglia-testato che ha fatto un nome per se stesso portando combattimenti ricchi di azione per i tifosi. Quando abbiamo annunciato tutta la PBC combattimenti FOX, questo è quello che ho cerchiato.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO di presidente della Promozioni Mayweather
“Questa sarà una lotta terrificante. Sono stato davvero impaziente di questa lotta, perché ho conosciuto questi ragazzi per un lungo periodo. Stili di rendere i combattimenti e in questo particolare matchup, abbiamo due combattenti che sono tutte le azioni.
“Danny ha dimostrato che lui è un combattente d'elite, perché ha battuto una serie di grandi campioni del mondo. Adrian Granados viene sempre a combattere. E 'mai e poi mai in una lotta noioso. Gli stili maglie così bene, con Danny essere un mondo di classe contro-perforatore e anche di essere un superbo boxer. Granados sta per forzare Danny per combattere al suo interno molto più del solito.
“Penso che questa lotta sta per portare fuori il meglio di entrambi Danny e Adrian. Hanno entrambi combattuto una serie di ottimi combattenti ed è stato in coinvolto in numerose decisioni discutibili. They’re going to have to leave it all in the ring come April 20.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Tuesday from Barclays Center:
Deontay Wilder
“It’s a pleasure to be back here in Brooklyn. Barclays Center is very close to my heart. I’ve been here so many times and I have a real connection to this arena. I’ve had some of my most memorable moments in the ring here.
“It’s always great to get a mandatory out of the way. They’re like flies buzzing in my ear. I just want to get them out of the way so I can do great things for the heavyweight division. I want one champion, one face, one name, but you need a lot of cooperation to make that happen.
“I want to prove to the world that I’m the best. That’s what I believe in my heart. Until someone proves me wrong, I will continue to believe that. Breazeale is the next man in line. I can’t wait for this one.
“I’m just going to show everyone on May 18. The way I feel right now, the fight could be this week. The champion must always be ready for whatever a challenger can bring.
“I hope he’s training his hardest. I’m glad he has Virgil Hunter on his side to show him something new. Every man I’ve faced; they’ve landed on the canvas. I’m going to continue to do that on May 18.
“No man who gets in the ring will be able to defeat Deontay Wilder. I hold the keys to the heavyweight division. No fighter is doing what I’m doing. I’m trying to give the fans something they’ve never seen before.
“Enjoy this one, because it’s going to be a massacre. Maggio 18 will be a beautiful day for me and a beautiful day to see what I’m planning to do for the sport of boxing.”
DOMINIC Breazeale
“I’m super excited for this. I’ve been waiting over a year and a half for a shot at this title. I’ve got three knockouts here at Barclays Center and I can’t wait for another.
“I’m a great fighter but there are always things to be learned. I’ve learned a lot already with Virgil Hunter. I bring something that everyone wants to see from heavyweights, and that’s trouble. I’m going to bring pressure and action.
“I’m sick of seeing this guy walking around with his belt. I’m going to put him down. People are going to be rising to their feet when I knock him down.
“I’m so excited to get this fight. I’ve been on Deontay’s undercards and I steal the show every time. Deontay does nothing right in the ring. He looks like a circus-act. All he does is talk. But there’s nothing he can say on May 18.
“Deontay loves to hear his own voice. All he does is talk and talk. It’s time to get in the ring. Nobody can get in there and save him. It’s just me and him. Leather on leather. We’ll see who lands first. Hopefully he gets off the canvas.”
VIRGILIO HUNTER, Breazeale’s Trainer
“It’s a pleasure to be here at Barclays Center for a heavyweight championship fight. We have a monumental task to try to overcome. Dominic and I connected last month and after a few workouts, we saw we had a good fit and an understanding of what needs to be done.
“Dominic works hard, he’s very determined and he knows that this is his opportunity and he can’t let it slip away from him. He also knows the risk at hand. We’re looking forward to May 18.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & programmazione di eventi, Showtime Networks Inc.
“We are thrilled to be bringing you Deontay Wilder vs. Dominic Breazeale on SHOWTIME. It would be an understatement to say that there has been a lot of speculation regarding Deontay’s future. We’re proud to have him on SHOWTIME. It was critical for Deontay, for the sport and his fans, that this fight be available not on pay-per-view, but on SHOWTIME. Because of his insistence, that’s the primary reason we’re standing here today.
“SHOWTIME is where this fight belongs. We’re the home of the biggest fights and best talents, month in and month out. This is where a heavyweight title fight belongs. This will be Deontay’s 12thappearance on SHOWTIME and or SHOWTIME PPV and we’ve built something special.
“Recently ESPN named its World Fame 100, which lists the most talked about athletes in the world. Deontay is ranked 34, two slots behind Tom Brady and higher than any other active boxer in the sport. He’s a bonafide superstar, there is no question.
“Dominic Breazeale is big, forte, experienced and powerful. Above all, he’s motivated. It’s no secret that there is a personal rivalry between these two fighters. This will not be a friendly promotion. There is genuine animosity. This is a premium fight and this is the heavyweight championship on May 18 in diretta su Showtime.”
