**ARLINGTON, TX.** (März 17, 2019) – **Errol Spence Jr.** retained his IBF Welterweight World Championship in his hometown in front of 47,525 fans with a unanimous decision over four-division world champion **Mikey Garcia** in the main event of the first Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event Saturday night from AT&T-Stadion in Arlington, Texas.

“The motivation fighting in front of my hometown crowd made me feel great,” said Spence. “These people have supported me since day one and I wanted to put on a good performance for all of them.”

“I really appreciate the love and support of the fans tonight,” , sagte Garcia. “It’s a great night and all the credit to Errol, er ist ein großartiger Champion. He’s the truth. He executed his game plan very well.”

The bout started technical, with Spence pumping a consistent jab and attempting to cut the ring off while Garcia was patiently looking for a chance to counter. Garcia had some success early throwing counter left hooks over Spence’s jab, but was never able to get in a rhythm against the busier champion.

“He came out here with a good game plan and kept the distance at his favor,” , sagte Garcia. “I couldn’t get my rhythm going and he did what he had to do. I tried to make adjustments and he kept executing.”

In der vierten Runde, Spence dominated most of the action before Garcia made a late surge and forced Spence into a defensive crouch for the final moments of the round. Garcia kept that energy going early in round five, putting Spence on the defensive temporarily before he regained his momentum and returned to connecting on powerful straight lefts.

Spence increased his body-punching as the fight went on and looked to wear down the fighter who was moving up in weight. Garcia began bleeding from his nose in round eight, at which point Spence increased his output and landed 35, 29, 34 und 25 punches in rounds nine through 12 beziehungsweise, according to CompuBox.

“Throughout training camp, a lot of commentators thought he was too smart and I couldn’t box as well as him,” said Spence. “I showed I can box and I can move my head if I want to. The game is to be smart, it’s the sweet science. I had the size and reach advantage, so why not use it to take away the jab? It’s a weapon for me and it takes away one of his weapons.”

“I was able to hold my own,” , sagte Garcia. “I felt good and I felt strong myself. I think he felt my power, but he definitely has power also.”

While Garcia showed his mettle in making it the distance, Spence was simply too effective, with one judge even scoring round 11 10-8 for Spence. Spence threw a career-high 1082 punches and out landed Garcia by a staggering 345 bis 75 Spanne.

After 12-rounds of action, all three judges saw the fight for Spence, von Partituren von 120-108 zweimal und 120-107.

“I give Mikey Garcia all the credit for taking this fight,” said Spence. “Mikey and I put on a great show in front of all these lovely fans. I respect him so much and I appreciate him for stepping up.”

“We just went 12-rounds with a great welterweight champion,” , sagte Garcia. “That’s a feat no one has done recently. I’m proud of what I was able to do. I have to go back and think about it. I will probably go back to lighter divisions but we’ll have to think about it.”

Nach dem Kampf, Spence declared that he wanted to fight boxing legend and welterweight titleholder **Manny Pacquiao** als nächstes, who entered the ring after the fight.

“He’s broken records here before, he’s a legend in the sport and it’d be my honor to fight him next,” said Spence.

“Ja, why not?” said Pacquiao, when asked about facing Spence next. “We’ll give the fans a good fight. I’m so happy to be here at AT&T Stadium and I hope I will be back here soon.”

Im Co-Main Event, unbeaten former 168-pound world champion **David Benavidez**(21-0, 18 KOs) dominiert **J'Leon Liebes** (24-3-1, 13 KOs) to earn a second-round stoppage in their super middleweight matchup.

“It’s a dream come true to fight on this stage in front of these fans,” Said Benavidez. “These fans give me the motivation to get up every day and go the extra mile.”

From the opening bell Love sought to crowd the taller Benavidez, but the 22-year-old Benavidez quickly made him pay, landing a powerful left hook that stunned Love. Love was able to last the round, but took more powerful hooks from Benavidez before the bell.

“I expected to knock him out, but when I hit him with the first god shot, I knew he wasn’t going to last,” Said Benavidez. “I tried to pace myself, but it wasn’t necessary tonight.”

Benavidez wasted little time in the second round, delivering power shots that put Love on the run. Benavidez caught Love with a clean combo on the ropes that stunned Love and forced referee Laurence Cole to jump in and stop the bout 1:14 in die zweite Runde, as Benavidez began to throw furious combos.

“He was getting his shots off, but I don’t think I was taking too much punishment,” said Love. “I wasn’t out of the game completely but he did catch me with a couple good shots.”

Nach dem Kampf, Benavidez set his sights on WBC Super Middleweight Champion Anthony Dirrell, who was in attendance at the fight.

“I saw Anthony Dirrell with the WBC belt. He can’t call himself champion until he fights me. That’s my belt. I’m going to go get it. It’s mine.”

Additional action featured former bantamweight champion **Luis Nery** (29-0, 23 KOs) knock down former champion **McJoe Arroyo** (18-3, 8 KOs) four times on his way to a fifth-round victory by stoppage in his U.S. Debüt.

“We’re two great fighters who were here to put on a show,” Said Nery. “That’s what you have to expect from fighters of our caliber. I’m happy to start on the right foot here in my U.S. debut and show everyone I’m still the best at bantamweight.”

Nery stalked Arroyo from the opening bell, throwing big power shots that forced his opponent to fight off his back foot. Mit 45 seconds left in round two, Nery scored his first knockdown with a left that stunned him and follow-up combination that put Arroyo on the canvas.

Arroyo was unable to keep the hard-charging Nery from coming forward and again hit the mat late in round three, as a wide left hook hurt Arroyo before he was put down from a flurry that followed. The trouble continued for Arroyo in round four, as he was knocked down twice more in the final minute of the round.

“I never felt like I was dazed or anything, they were just hard punches,” said Arroyo. “I went down but got right back up. If it were up to me I’d have kept going. I have to give respect to my opponent for his performance. This isn’t the end of my career. I’ve seen him fight before but I was surprised by his power. It was his night tonight.”

After the fourth round, Arroyo’s corner stopped the bout, making the official stoppage 10 seconds into round five. Nery dominated the bout, out landing Arroyo 87 bis 36, bei der Landung 44 Prozent seiner Macht Schläge.

“We’re going to train hard and hopefully by June, we’ll have the belt back,” Said Nery. “I want to win back my belt, then unify the division.”

The opening bout on pay-per-view saw heavyweight fan-favorite **Chris Arreola** (38-5-1, 33 KOs) score a third-round stoppage over previously unbeaten **Jean Pierre Augustin** (17-1-1, 12 KOs).

“Augustin is a hungry kid who tried to make a name off of me,” Said Arreola. “I lose and I’m out, but I’m not going out. I touched him a couple of times and saw he was hurt. I stayed calm and the stoppage came.”

After blood started pouring from Arreola’s nose towards the end of round two, the Riverside, California-native got off to a quick start in round three, connecting with a straight left that stunned Augustin and nearly sent him to the canvas in the opening seconds.

As the round progressed, Augustin tried to hold and move to regain his composure, but was eventually caught with a flurry in the neutral corner that put him on the canvas. While he got up and was able to continue, another flurry in Augustin’s corner, including a big overhand left, eventually forced referee Neal Young to stop the fight 2:03 in Runde drei.

“Every fighter feels like they can continue, aber es ist, was es, it’s out of my control,” said Augustin. “I was more stunned than hurt, but he jumped on me and finished.”

In the dominant final round Arreola landed 18 von 30 Macht Schläge, compared to just three punches landed in the round by Augustin.

“Ich liebe zu kämpfen,” Said Arreola. “We’re both were trying to beat each other up and I love it. I’m blessed to be a fighter.”

Vor dem Pay-per-View, PBC Prelims on FS1 featured former heavyweight champion **Charles Martin** (26-2-1. 23 KOs) winning via disqualification against previously unbeaten **Gregory Corbin** (15-1, 9 KOs) in the eighth-round of their showdown. After deducting a point from Corbin in rounds four, five and six because of low blows, referee Mark Calo-oy stopped the bout in round eight after another low blow. The official time of the disqualification came 53 seconds into round eight.

“I don’t think he really wanted to fight, he wanted to hit me low and see how much he could get away with,” sagte Martin. “I could sense that he didn’t want to engage anymore.”

“Es ist was es ist, I thought I was hitting him on the belt,” said Corbin. “We wanted to go to the body, I thought he was tired. I hurt him once, but the low blows did it for me.”

“We’re going to get back in camp, take a few days off and then get back to work,” sagte Martin. “We’re staying busy in 2019.”

The event was promoted by Man Down Promotions and Garcia Promotions, in association with TGB Promotions and Ringstar Sports

Tickets for Saturday’s event, which is promoted by Man Down Promotions and Garcia Promotions, in association with TGB Promotions and Ringstar Sports, sind jetzt im Verkauf, und können erworben werden bei SeatGeek.com, der offizielle Ticketing-Anbieter von AT&T-Stadion.

Hier ist, was der Pressekonferenz Teilnehmer hatten bis Mittwoch sagen:

**ERROL SPENCE JR.**

“This is a dream come true fighting in my hometown at AT&T-Stadion. I can’t wait to put on a great performance. Seeing Mikey’s face here today, it’s got me hungrier than ever to put on a great performance

“The size difference won’t matter. Skill for skill and talent for talent, I’m more dominant than him in every aspect. I’ll beat him at anything he wants to do. On paper he’s the toughest opponent to date, but once we get in the ring we’ll find out.

“I don’t think anyone has the power to knock me out. We don’t allow that kind of mentality into training camp. I hope he tries though.

“Mikey is supposed to think he’s going to win this fight. He called me out, so they obviously think that they see something. I’m glad he’s as confident as I am. I hope he keeps that same energy inside of the ring.

“Our training camp, we train for a hard 12 Runden-Kampf. We prepare for a bruising fight. If I knock him out early, then that’s a bonus. We trained for the distance because we know anything can happen in a fight.

“I’m always calm, that’s just my demeanor. I could talk to Mikey Garcia in the locker room before the fight then come out and knock his head off. I’m always on go. I’m naturally like this. I’ve been ready to go for eight weeks. I’m tired of seeing him and I’m just ready for fight night.

“I can’t worry about what Mikey sees in me. I let my coach worry about it. Everyone thinks they see something looking on the outside, but it’s a lot harder once you’re in the ring.

“This win makes me pound-for-pound number one. Mikey has a great record and a big fan base and I feel like winning this fight turns me into a star. Everyone wants to take Floyd Mayweather’s place as the face of boxing, and this puts me on the right track to become the face of boxing and the best fighter in the world.

“This is a legendary fight. This is where we see what fighters are made of. There have been a lot of great fights when little guys came up and beat a bigger fighter. You can’t ever write off the little guy. This is going to be a hard fight.

“I know I’m the best fighter in the world and I’m going to show it Saturday night. I’m going to punish him and make him wish he took his brother’s advice to not take this fight.”

**Mikey GARCIA**

“I have all the tools and all the skills needed to beat Errol Spence Jr. When it comes to timing, Geschwindigkeit, reflexes and defense, you name it, I’m better.

“Here in Texas, it’s like a second home. I’ve won two world titles here. Having great fan support at the grand arrival was a special moment for me.

“I’ve got to go in there Saturday night and show why I picked this fight. I want to make history and this is the one that will get me there.

“I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to win this fight. We trained very hard. Wir können gehen 12 rounds for sure. Aber, if I get a chance to hurt my opponent, I’m definitely going to jump on him and get the knockout.

“Samstag Nacht, Errol is going to find out why I picked this fight. All of my opponents say they don’t see anything special when they watch me, until they get into the ring.

“I know what I have to do on fight night. I know all the work that I put in. I didn’t put all that effort in for nothing. Samstag Nacht, Ich habe ausführen. Once I get inside the ring, that switch will turn on.

“I have to fight the best fight of my life. If I don’t, then I can’t overcome the challenge. You don’t win a fight with size and weight. We fight smart, we fight intelligently and pick our shots. There are a lot of factors. That’s how I win this fight.

“Getting this victory will forever leave my name in the history books. No other fighter is daring to do what I’m doing. I’m here to make history and this fight does that. This fight is about big challenges and obstacles.

“All the attention and buzz about this fight is for real. It’s not often you get a fight like this. Undefeated champions in their prime facing each other. If you want to witness history, you better buy a ticket or the pay-per-view.”

**DERRICK JAMES, Spence Trainer**

“Getting up on the stage today, it was like fight night. I feel what Errol and Mikey are feeling. It’s go-time for both of these guys.

“Mikey Garcia is a great opponent, but he’s still just another opponent. We’re going to go in there and show him why we’re better. Errol is feeling great, so I am too.

“Ring intelligence is definitely one of Mikey’s best attributes. But he’s never been in the ring with Errol. Errol has been in the ring sparring with Floyd Mayweather before and I don’t think Mikey has the same ring intelligence as him.

“Errol knows what he should be doing and what he shouldn’t be doing during fight week. He will be ready on Saturday night.”

**ROBERT GARCIA, Garcias Bruder & Trainer**

“Not only have all of our sparring partners told us this, but his opponents always say the same thing. Once they’re in the ring, they realize how hard Mikey hits and how strong he is. Spence doesn’t know that but he’ll find out Saturday.

“A lot of fighters have problems with southpaws like Spence, but Mikey has a lot of experience facing lefties and I’m confident that won’t be a factor.

“Spence’s style is pretty basic, so it’s not too hard to find sparring partners to emulate him. Spence does everything right, just like Mikey. From a preparation standpoint, his style isn’t a big challenge.

“We haven’t just been facing regular sparring partners. They’re experienced, talented and undefeated fighters. He’s facing middleweights to get ready for this one and I know he will be.”

**LAS VEGAS** – März 13, 2019 – Three undefeated prospects will make their *ShoBox: Die neue Generation* debut as super bantamweight **Angelo Leo** and super featherweights **Xavier Martinez** und **Andres Cortes** compete in separate bouts on a Mayweather Promotions card live on SHOWTIME Friday, April 5 (10 p.m. ET / PT) von *Sam 's Town Live-* in Las Vegas.

Top 122-pound prospect Leo (16-0, 8 KOs) will square off against Filipino **Neil Tabanao** (17-4, 11 KOs) in a 10-round bout in the *ShoBox* Hauptereignis, while super featherweight Martinez (13-0, 9 KOs) dauert an **John Moralde** (21-2, 11 KOs) in a 10-round co-featured attraction. In der Sendung Opener, Las Vegas prospect **Cortes** (10-0, 6 KOs) will face Baltimore’s **Jahmal Dyer** (9-1, 5 KOs) in einem Acht-Runde Superfedergewicht Kampf.

Tickets for the Mayweather Promotions’ Sin City Showdown are priced at $25, $50 und $75 und kann durch einen Besuch erworben werden: https://mayweatherpromotions.com/events/
.

“Mayweather Promotions is excited to bring the Sin City Showdown back this year, as it is home to a roster of talented prospects,” said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO von Mayweather Promotions. “The card features three of our young talented undefeated prospects Angelo Leo, Xavier Martinez, and Andres Cortes making their television debuts. It’s exciting to see these guys climb the ranks, as they look to take their careers to the next level. Each one of them will be facing tough competition on fight night. I expect nothing but fireworks.”

“We have three unbeaten and untested prospects ready for the next step of their careers in Angelo Leo, Xavier Martinez and Andres Cortes,Sagte Gordon Hall, Ausführender Produzent, Senior Vice President, Production, Showtime Networks Inc.. "*ShoBox* is all about introducing and developing new talent. It’s about pushing young prospects outside of their comfort zone, matching them tough and discovering the next generation of champions in the process. I look forward to see whether or not Leo, Martinez and Cortes will rise to the occasion.”

Originally from New Mexico and currently residing in Las Vegas, Löwe, 24, recorded a unanimous decision over Alberto Torres in his 2019 debut on the non-televised undercard of Gervonta Davis vs. Hugo Ruiz. Löwe, who started boxing when he was eight, amassed a notable amateur resume, winning the state Golden Gloves and Jr. Golden Gloves Championships before turning pro at 18. Leo debuted under the Mayweather Promotions banner in November of 2017 with a fourth-round knockout of Dominican Republic’s Yasmaly Basilio Peguero-Nieves.

“This fight came to me at the perfect time,” said Leo, who has fought four of his last six bouts at *Sam 's Town Live-*. “I’m in great condition coming off my recent fight last month. I think Tabanao is good fighter and a good counter-puncher. He fought good competition and he went the distance with a former world champion, so I know I have a tough fight ahead. He is a dangerous fighter but I have a solid plan. I have a unique style and I think I bring a lot to the table with my speed, angles and body shots. Fans should expect an exciting fight on April 5.”

Tabanao, 24, made his pro debut in 2012 in his home country of the Philippines. He will make his United States debut next month as he looks to move up the super bantamweight ranks. Tabanao won the WBO Oriental Featherweight Title in 2016 with a third-round technical knockout of Ibrahim Balla. In his next fight, Tabanao lost the belt when he dropped a unanimous decision to Isaac Dogboe, who would go on to become the WBO Super Bantamweight World Champion. Tabanao suffered two consecutive defeats after losing to Dogboe but has admirably rebounded by winning his last four bouts.

“My trainer Sonny Dollente is working hard to prepare me for this fight,” said Tabanao. “We know this is our first fight in the States and TV debut, so we are working especially hard to put on a great performance and we thank Mayweather Promotions for this opportunity. Angelo Leo is a good fighter but we have a good strategy. It has always been my dream to represent The Philippines and to be known as a great boxer. This fight will bring me one step closer to my dream.”

Martinez, von Sacramento, Calif., is best known for his crafty and powerful fighting style and is regarded by many as a prospect to watch. After losing his first two amateur fights, he amassed a record of 88-10. He won the Jr. Golden Gloves in 2010, in der konkurrierten 2012 und 2013 Nationals Championships and was ranked No. 3 amateur in the country in 2013. He turned pro in Mexico at 17 and joined the Mayweather Promotions team in late 2016 with a unanimous decision win over Wilfredo Garriga at *Sam 's Town Live-*. He’s coming off five straight knockout victories, with his most recent being an impressive fifth-round knockout against Deivi Julio Bassa on February 9. Martinez is looking for a statement victory over Moralde to assert his pedigree in the 130-pound division.

“It feels great to get back in the ring,“Sagte Martinez. “I’m happy Mayweather Promotions found another great matchup for me, and on national television. Now it’s time for me to do my part as a fighter by training hard and getting the win. I came in to training camp with a fresh mindset and ready to go to war. I’m ready for whatever Moralde brings to the table. I don’t know much about him other than he has the guts to fight me. I heard two opponents said, ’No,’ to this fight because they didn’t want to face me.”

Moralde, who made his pro debut in 2011 as a 17-year-old, will see his toughest test to date when he meets rising star Martinez. Hailing from Davao del Sur in the Philippines, Moralde, wer ist 2-2 in seiner letzten vier Kämpfe, is looking to redeem himself in this pivotal matchup. Seine US-. Debüt in 2017 didn’t go as planned as he was handed the first loss of his career at the hands of Toka Khan Clary. He rebounded quickly against Ismail Muwendo but lost by decision against Jamel Herring in his next fight. He scored a second-round knockout victory over Elmer Colve in his last outing.

“It feels great to have another opportunity to put my skills on display for the world to see on national TV,” said Moralde. “I’m up against a tough fighter; we both have a tough fight ahead. Ich habe eine Erklärung abgeben. This is the fight that will get me where I want to go. I want to fight the toughest and I’m ready to face anyone they put in front of me.”

Born and raised in Las Vegas, Cortes, 22, fell in love with the sweet science at an early age as he watched his brother Luis at the gym. He started training at Elite Boxing Gym when he was six, alongside Juan Heraldez and Andrew Tabiti, who would later become his Mayweather Promotions stablemates. He had a reported record of 130-20 as an amateur and turned pro in 2016. He caught the attention of Floyd Mayweather while sparring with lightweight champion Gervonta Davis. Cortes joined Mayweather Promotions soon after. He has won four of his last six fights by knockout including his last outing against Eder Amaro Fajardo on January 17. Mit einem Sieg, Cortes will be one step closer to becoming a legitimate contender.

“I’ve only taken off one week from the gym since my last fight in January,” said Cortes. "Ich fühle mich großartig. Ich bin 100 percent prepared for whatever my opponent brings my way. I’ve been working on my power and my strength with my conditioning coach and overall development as a fighter. I’m ready for my next challenge.”

Baltimore’s Dyer, 27, picked up boxing at 19 and after a brief amateur career turned pro in March of 2017. He scored an impressive 22-second first-round knockout of Dwayne Martin in just his third professional bout. He was named 2017 Rookie of the Year by *Boxing Along the Beltway*, a Washington, D.C. boxing publication, and has won five fights in a row, most recently against promising undefeated prospect Carlos Dixon.

“I’m coming fresh off a fight so I’m still in great shape,” said Dyer. “Andres Cortes is a good fighter, aber ich bin ein besserer Kämpfer. I’m training to go a full eight rounds, but if I find an opportunity before then, Ich werde es dauern,. I’ve been waiting for a chance to show the world how good of a fighter I am, und dies ist. This is my time to show the world who I am.”

Profil der USA Boxing Alumni Association: John “The Quietman” Ruiz

März 14, 2019 FNU47 Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

Von den Projekten bis zum Besitz der ultimativen Krone des Boxens

COLORADO SPRINGS, Runde. (März 12, 2019) – Von den Projekten bis zum Besitz des wohl angesehensten Einzeltitels im Sport, **John “The Quietman” Ruiz** bleibt der einzige Latino, der den begehrten Weltmeistertitel im Schwergewicht holt.

Ruiz, 47, ist ein stolzer puerto-ricanischer amerikanischer Boxer, der in einem Chelsea aufgewachsen ist, Massachusetts. Die zweimalige World Boxing Association (WBA) Schwergewichts-Champion, besiegt USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Famer **Evander Holyfield** im zweiten von drei Titelkämpfen, zum ersten Mal sichern, die Welt-Schwergewichts-Krone.

Ein geschmückter Amateurboxer, Ruiz kompiliert a 50-5 Rekord, ähnlich wie sein letztes Profi-Rekord von 44-9-1 (30 KOs) zwischen 1992-2010, inklusive Gold- Medaillenleistungen bei den All-New England Championships, USA Boxing National Championships und das Los Angeles Olympic Festival, die ihn zum No . erhob. 1 Position im Halbschwergewicht in den US-Ratings.

Ruiz war auch ein herausragender Allround-Athlet an der Chelsea High, besonders im Fußball, in dem er ein All-Star war. Er begann mit dem Boxen im Alter von sieben Jahren, schließlich entwickelte er seine Fähigkeiten im Somerville Boxing Club.

“Boxen war der einzige Sport, von dem ich dachte, dass ich gute Erfolgschancen habe,” Ruiz (hier ganz links abgebildet) erklärte, warum er Boxen im Gegensatz zu Fußball oder einer anderen Mannschaftssportart verfolgte. “Die anderen Sportarten musstest du aufs College gehen, und ich hatte keine Noten.”

Ruiz hat es nie bereut und kein Boxer hat jemals mehr aus seinen gottgegebenen Fähigkeiten herausgeholt als er. Nach dem Gewinn seines ersten Turniers (PAL in New Jersey), er wurde Teil des USA-Teams, das nach Schweden reiste, um an einem Dual-Meet teilzunehmen.

“Außerhalb von Puerto Rico (er lebte dort für 6-7 Jahre in seiner frühen Jugend),” Ruiz erinnerte sich gerne daran. “Ich war noch nie außerhalb der Vereinigten Staaten gereist. USA Boxing gab mir die Möglichkeit, dorthin zu reisen, Australien, Italien und überall in den Vereinigten Staaten. Noch mehr, als mich diese Erfahrungen auf die Profiränge vorbereitet haben, es hat mir einen Vorgeschmack auf die Lebenserfahrung gegeben, Reisen an Orte, die ich alleine nie hätte bereisen können. Amateurboxen hat mir auch Struktur und Selbstvertrauen gegeben, als ich Profi wurde. Ich habe auch so viele verschiedene Leute kennengelernt, Kämpfer und Trainer, aus der ganzen Welt.”

Zusätzlich zu seinem bereits erwähnten Sieg beim Los Angles Olympic Festival, was ihn als Team USA-Mitglied qualifiziert hat, um an den Weltmeisterschaften in Australien teilzunehmen (fertig 6^th in der Welt), vielleicht war der Höhepunkt seiner Amateurkarriere das Besiegen **Torsten May**, die 1992 Olympiasieger aus Deutschland, bei einem dualen Treffen in Florida.

“Meine Verbindung mit John geht auf das Jahr 1990 zurück,” zusätzlich **Al Valenti**, Berater für USA Boxing Special Projects. “Ich war begeistert, dass ein Einheimischer seine Fähigkeiten im Boxring verfeinerte. John hatte in den frühen neunziger Jahren einen unglaublichen Einfluss auf die nationale Amateurboxszene; bis zu den Olympischen Prüfungen in Worcester (MA). Die Teilnahme an den Prüfungen war für mich etwas ganz Besonderes, weil John so ein großartiger Teilnehmer und ein braves Kind war. Boxgeschichte wird einen Platz für John Ruiz . haben, nicht viele haben überlebt 36 Runden mit Evander. Der erste Latino World Heavyweight Champion zu sein war eine ziemliche Leistung für “The Quietman”.

Ruiz wurde Profi im August 20, 1992, gewinnt eine einstimmige Entscheidung über vier Runden über Kevin Parker. Während seiner Profikarriere, er besiegte zeitgenössische Top-Namen wie Holyfield,**James Thunder**, **Jerry Ballard**, **Fernely Felix**, **Kirk Johnson**, **Fres Oquendo**, **Andrew Golota** und **Jameel McCline**.

März wurde Geschichte geschrieben 3, 2013 in Las Vegas, als er erst der zweite Kämpfer wurde, der Holyfield auf dem Weg zu seinem WBA-Titelgewinnkampf durch eine einstimmige Entscheidung über 12 Runden fallen ließ, Dies brachte ihm sofortige Berühmtheit als erster Latino ein, der den begehrten Weltmeistertitel im Schwergewicht trug.

“Ich bin sehr stolz, das geschafft zu haben,” er machte weiter, “Aber mein Hauptziel war es, für meine Familie zu sorgen, und dieses Ziel habe ich immer beibehalten. Die meisten Kämpfer haben keinen Erfolg, aber am ende des tages, das hat mich getrieben. Ich denke nicht wirklich daran, der einzige Latino zu sein, der den Weltmeistertitel im Schwergewicht gewinnt, aber doch, wenn ich heute Leute darüber reden höre, Ich denke, Beeindruckend, Ich bin immer noch der einzige Latino, der das macht.”

Vor einigen Jahren, Ruiz hat ein Fitnessstudio eröffnet (Quietman Sport Gym) in Medford, MA, nicht weit von wo er in Chelsea aufgewachsen ist und in Somerville trainiert hat. Es ist ein eingetragenes Clubmitglied von USA Boxing seit 2012, aber doch, wichtiger, es ist Ruiz’ Art, dem Amateurboxen etwas zurückzugeben.

“Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass es notwendig war, mehr Kindern zu helfen und ihnen die Möglichkeit zu geben, das Haus zu verlassen und etwas Produktives und Lustiges zu tun,” Ruiz kommentierte. “Sie alle haben die Chance, an Selbstvertrauen zu arbeiten und man könnte vielleicht Weltmeister werden. Ich fühle mich verpflichtet, Kindern zu helfen, weil ich mich vor Jahren daran erinnere, als ich in der gleichen Position war. Sie brauchen Anleitung. Wenn ich nicht all die Unterstützung hätte, die ich beim Aufwachsen hatte, Ich wäre nicht so geworden, wie ich es getan habe. Ich möchte Kindern helfen, ihre Ziele zu erreichen.”

Heute, John lebt in Palm City, Florida. Er ist ein Justizvollzugsbeamter für das Martin County Sheriff Department. “Als Profi zweimal den Weltmeistertitel zu gewinnen, war großartig,” Ruiz schloss, “aber die Amateure haben mir definitiv mehr Spaß gemacht als die Profis, obwohl ich gerne die USA bei Olympia vertreten hätte. USA Boxen hat meinen Geist für verschiedene Dinge geöffnet, Nimm mich von den Straßen von Chelsea, damit ich mich fühle……Besondere.”

John Ruiz hat immer gepredigt, “Folge deinen Träumen!” und das macht er heute noch.

“Danny Garcia is one of the preeminent boxers of this generation,” sagte Tom Brown, Präsident der TGB Promotions. “He’s a champion through and through. His resume is a veritable ‘Who’s Who?’ of the best at 140 und 147 pounds over the last 10 Jahre. He’s hungry to get his title back and he’s willing to go through anyone to do that. Adrian Granados is a tough competitor looking to join the championship ranks and Danny represents the most direct route. It’s the kind of clash that makes for entertaining matches. The fans at Dignity Health Sports Park and watching on FOX and FOX Deportes on April 20 are in for a treat.”

“Danny Garcia knows that he¹s going to have to be on his A-game, as a victory over Adrian Granados puts him back in position to regain his welterweight championship,” sagte Leonard Ellerbe, CEO von Mayweather Werbeaktionen. “Adrian Granados is a fighter thatalways comes to put on exciting fights and holds nothing back against his opponents. The action leading up to the main event is sure to be crowd pleasers. I expect the fans in attendance to bring the energy to Dignity Health Sports Park and those tuning in on FOX and FOX Deportes will be fully entertained as well.”

Garcia (34-2, 20 KOs) has fought and defeated many of the most formidable opponents at 140 and 147-pounds spanning two generations-Erik Morales, Zab Judah, Kendall Holt, Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse, Paulie Malignaggi and Lamont Peterson among them. Six of his seven opponents in the welterweight division were former or current world champions and 12 seiner letzten 16 opponents overall carried the same distinction. Included in that run was a headlining performance live on FOX in January 2016, when he defeated Robert Guerrero to capture his welterweight title in Los Angeles. Vertretung der kämpfenden Stadt Philadelphia, the 30-year-old most recently lost an exciting and narrow decision to Shawn Porter in their September title fight.

“I cannot wait to get back in the ring and put on the Danny Garcia show once again,” , sagte Garcia. “Granados was talking a big game when we first announced the fight and I plan on proving him wrong on April 20. The Southern California fans have always treated me right and I’m excited to give them a great fight.”

Fighting out of Cicero, Ilinois, Granados (20-6-2, 14 KOs) has made a name for himself by delivering tough, action-packed fights against top fighters in the sport, including Shawn Porter and Adrien Broner. The 29-year-old burst onto the scene by shocking then unbeaten Amir Imam via a stoppage victory in their 2015 clash. After a fight last June against Javier Fortuna that ended in a no contest, Granados picked up two-straight knockout wins heading into this matchup.

“This is a huge fight for me and definitely one of the most important in my career,” said Granados. “I’m looking to dominate, look impressive and control the fight. I’ve fought in Southern California before and I’m looking to take advantage of the great Mexican crowd. This is Mexico versus Puerto Rico and Chicago vs. Philadelphia. It’s territorial on a lot of levels and you can expect us to leave it all in the ring.”

Fighting out of Imperial, Kalifornien, Ruiz (31-1, 20 KOs) was a two-time Mexican national champion at super heavyweight as an amateur, before embarking on a pro career that saw him win his first 29 Kämpfe. The 29-year-old lost a close majority decision against Joseph Parker in their 2016 world title fight and rebounded with victories over Kevin Johnson and Devin Vargas last year.

The 36-year-old Dimitrenko (41-4, 26 KOs) is a longtime heavyweight contender who has challenged top fighters throughout his career. Born in Russia but fighting out of Hamburg, Deutschland, he most recently lost to Bryant Jennings in a back and forth fight in August and owns wins over Derric Rossy, Adrian Granat and Miljan Rovcanin.

The 22-year-old Figueroa (18-0, 13 KOs) most recently delivered a dominant performance in knocking out Moises Flores in the third-round of their January fight on FS1. Stellvertretend für Weslaco, Texas, the younger brother of former world champion Omar has a five-fight knockout streak that he brings into the ring on April 20.

A former interim champion and title challenger at bantamweight, Parejo (22-3-1, 11 KOs) will look to make his mark at 122-pounds when he battles Figueroa on April 20. The 32-year-old from Venezuela lost a bantamweight world title fight to Ryan Burnett last March, but rebounded to most recently defeat Benjamin Mendoza in February. He won an interim title by stopping Luis Hinojosa in 2014 before losing a split-decision the following year to former champion Zhanat Zhakiyanov.
