**MINNEAPOLIS** (Luty 24, 2019) – **Anthony Dirrell** (33-1-1, 24 KO) pokonanyAvni Yildirim (21-2, 12 KO)decyzją o podziale technicznym (96-94 X 2 dla Dirella, 98-92 dla Yildirim) o wakujące Mistrzostwa Świata WBC Super Middleweight w turnieju głównym Premier Boxing Champions na FS1 i FOX Deportes ze Zbrojowni w Minneapolis. Sędzia Mark Nelson przerwał walkę w dziesiątej rundzie z powodu przypadkowego starcia głów i przecięcia lewego oka Dirrella, a decyzja trafiła do kart wyników.

“Byłem zdenerwowany przerwą, ponieważ chciałem zakończyć walkę jak mistrz,” Said Dirrell. “Wspaniale jest odzyskać mój pasek WBC. Chcemy zjednoczyć się przeciwko Caleb Plant lub któremukolwiek z mistrzów. po prostu idę do domu, poświęć trochę czasu, porozmawiaj z moim obozem, a stamtąd pojedziemy. Jeśli nadejdzie walka z Benavidezem, będę z nim walczyć.

“Myślałem, że wygrywam tę walkę więcej niż to, co mieli sędziowie,” dodał Dirrell. “Dźgałem go, a on wywierał pewną presję, ale to właśnie robi. Wygrałem jednak walkę i tylko to się liczy.”

Minneapolis-rodzimy **Jamal James** (25-1, 12 KO) zdobył przyjemną dla publiczności techniczną wygraną przez nokaut **Janer Gonzalez** (19-2-1, 15 KO). W połowie szóstej zwrotki, Wydawało się, że James upuścił Gonzaleza prosto z prawej ręki, ale sędzia Gary Miezwa stwierdził, że to poślizg. Pod koniec szóstej rundy, James ponownie powalił i tym razem to się liczyło i zraniło Gonzaleza. Pod koniec szóstej rundy, Gonzalez poszedł do swojego narożnika i nigdy nie wyszedł, gdy walka została ogłoszona przestojem w szóstej rundzie, ponieważ Gonzalez nie był w stanie odpowiedzieć na dzwonek w siódmej rundzie.

“To najlepszy tłum, przed jakim kiedykolwiek walczyłem,” powiedział James. “Zapakowaliśmy to miejsce. Środek zimy, śnieg wokół nas, a oni nadal wychodzili i okazywali duże wsparcie. Nie potrafię nawet wytłumaczyć uczucia, że mam tu wyjść i przestać (Gonzalez). Jedyne pytanie, jakie mam, to gdzie jest mój pasek? Zajmuję trzecie miejsce w WBA. Keith Thurman dostał pas, Pacquiao dostał pas. Ale z całą szczerością, ktokolwiek daje mi taką możliwość, wchodzę tam z nimi.

“Zadał mi świetną walkę, ale pod koniec dnia miałem zbyt wiele do zaoferowania i nie mógł się podnieść,” ciąg dalszy James. “Po prostu utrzymywałem swój zasięg i byłem w stanie go kontratakować. A kiedy wchodził, wchodził naprawdę dziko i otwierał się na kilka dużych ujęć, z których mogłem skorzystać. Kiedy po raz pierwszy upadł, myślałem, że to uzasadnione powalenie, ale ref był dobrym ref. Zdecydowanie złapałem go dobrą kombinacją i paskudnym strzałem w ciało za drugie powalenie. Po tym, Wiedziałem, że pozbawiło go to reszty walki i wszystko, co musiałem zrobić, to dokończyć robotę.”

“Myślałem, że to bardzo ważna walka w mojej karierze,” Said Gonzalez. “Byłem bardzo szczęśliwy z tej walki, to po prostu nie poszło po mojej myśli. Znowu będę walczył, chociaż. Każda walka jest dla mnie nauką.”

Walka otwierająca FS1 i FOX Deportes zawierała zacięty rewanż pomiędzyJeison Rosario (18-1-1, 13 KO) i **Marcos Hernandez** (13-2-1, 3 KO). W lutym 2018, obaj walczyli do remisu. W rewanżu, Rosario był w stanie zapewnić techniczny nokaut, a sędzia Celestino Ruiz wstrzymał akcję 2:45 w dziewiątą ramkę. W czasie postoju, Hernandez był na karcie wyników sędziego Kyle Shiely (77-75) z Rosario na czele na kartach wyników sędziów Johna Mariano i Tima Taggarta (78-74, 77-75).

“Stracił czujność i ciągle popełniał te same błędy,” powiedział Rosario. “Kiedy zobaczyłem okazję, Upuściłem go.

“Kiedy po raz pierwszy walczyliśmy, nie byłam gotowa,” dodał Rosario. “byłem słaby. Ale nauczyłem się od pierwszej walki, co robić w drugiej. Tak go załatwiłem.”

“To była bliska walka, która mogła pójść w obie strony,” Said Hernandez. “Trafił mnie dobrym strzałem. Wstałem i poczułem się OK. Próbowałem tylko uniknąć kilku strzałów, a on uderzył mnie lewą stroną. Strzelał, a ja powinienem był odrzucić.

“Myślę, że sędzia wcześnie przerwał walkę, ale to nie jest moja praca,” ciąg dalszy Hernandez. “Zdecydowanie powitałbym trzecią walkę z Rosario, chociaż. Nigdy nie bałem się z nikim walczyć, więc walka z nim po raz trzeci nie stanowiłaby żadnego problemu.”

W Premier Boxing Champions na eliminacjach FS2, **Bryant Perrella** (16-2, 13 KO) wygrał jednogłośną decyzję (78-74, 79-73 X 2) przez **Breidis Prescott** (31-16, 22 KO).

“Jestem bardzo zadowolona z mojego dzisiejszego występu,” Said Perrella. “Poczułem się świetnie pokonując dystans. Moja wytrzymałość była fantastyczna?. Byłbym o wiele bardziej agresywny i rzucał mocniejszymi strzałami, ale zraniłem się w rękę w drugiej rundzie i to bolało resztę walki. Po prostu użyłem mojego szturmu i generała pierścienia, aby kontrolować walkę i wygrać.”

Współfunkcjonująca piła FS2 **Pieniądze Powell IV** (9-0, 5 KO) zatrzymać **Javier Frazier** (8-9-1, 4 KO) przez techniczny nokaut w trzeciej rundzie (2:03). Powell wylądował 86 ciosy w walce, 36 z czego do ciała Fraziera.

“Na tym obozie treningowym naprawdę pracowaliśmy nad wieloma zdjęciami ciała,” powiedział Powell. “Mam wrażenie, że w dzisiejszych czasach zdjęcia ciała są zaniedbywane, a zdjęcia ciała opłacają rachunki, złamać cię naprawdę szybko.”

W huśtawce FS2, **Austin Dulay** (13-1, 10 KO) zdobył bardzo szybkie powalenie w pierwszej rundzie **Yardley Cruz** (24-13, 14 KO) przed odlotem do zatrzymania trzeciej rundy (:27).

“Właśnie posłuchałem moich trenerów, a oni powiedzieli mi, żebym był psem i przyszedł do przodu,” powiedział Dulay. “Myślałem, że kazałem go zatrzymać z tym pierwszym powaleniem po dzwonku otwierającym, ale nie chciałem się spieszyć, bo ma mnóstwo doświadczenia.

“Chcę rewanżu z Chrisem Colbertem już w kwietniu 13 karta tutaj w Zbrojowni,” dodano Dulay. “Wróciłem do obozu po tej stracie, zorientowali się, co jest nie tak, dostałem dietetyka i przeniosłem się do 135 funtów. Czuję się lepiej niż kiedykolwiek, więc jestem zdecydowanie gotowy na ten rewanż.”

W premierowym pojedynku telewizyjnym na FS2, **Justin Pauldo** (12-1, 6 KO) zdobył powalenie i zatrzymanie w pierwszej rundzie (1:17) przed **Federico Malespina** (16-11-2, 2 KO) kto nie był w stanie kontynuować.

“Wylądowałem solidną prostą prawą ręką,” powiedział Pauldo. “Widziałem, jak spada z powrotem na liny i wiedziałem, że go zraniłem. Tak, Dotknąłem ciała i szybko go stamtąd wydostałem.”

CHRIS EUBANK JR. SCORES CAREER-DEFINING VICTORY OVER JAMES DEGALE IN SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT GRUDGE MATCH SATURDAY ON SHOWTIME® FROM THE O2 IN LONDON

**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, który zdobył 114-112, 115-112, 117-109. Podkreśla wideo: 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. Powiedziałem mu, ‘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 10^th as Eubank landed a powerful left hook that buckled DeGale with just 30 sekund w lewo w rundzie. Po raz kolejny, DeGale tried to clinch to avoid the knockdown, but his hand touched the canvas and was ruled just the third knockdown of his career.

Po walce, 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, moja rodzina, 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.”

W pojedynku otwierającym doubleheader SHOWTIME MISTRZOSTWA BOXING, 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, the 2016 Srebrny medalista olimpijski, consistently set up a powerful straight right behind an accurate and effective left jab throughout the fight. With Joyce (8-0, 8 KO) 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 KO) 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 (Tytuł) 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 KO) 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 KO).

An encore presentation of Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader will air tonight/Saturday at 10 p.m. ET / PT na SHOWTIME EXTREME, Sunday at 9 a.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and Monday at 10 p.m. ET / PT na SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Veteran broadcaster Brian Custer hosted the doubleheader from London with versatile combat sportscaster Mauro Ranallo calling the action ringside alongside Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein. Two Hall of Famers rounded out today’s telecast team – Emmy^® award winning reporter Jim Gray and world-renowned ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. The Executive Producer was David Dinkins Jr. with Rick Phillips directing.

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

**James 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, Obiecuję ci, że.

“I’m proven. Byłem tam, zrobisz. I’ve won everything. He’s done nothing. And I’m going to retire him.

“Eubank is a tough fighter, jest silny. 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., Mam dość.

“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, długo, 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. Na koniec dnia, his last performances haven’t been up to par, but i don’t think he respected his [past] przeciwnicy. 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. Muszę wygrać. Jeśli wygram, 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 walka.

“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. Ale, 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.”

“Quillin vs. Truax is a true 50-50 matchup of former world champions looking to put themselves in position to grab another world title,” powiedział Leon Margules, Prezes Warriors Boxing. “Truax will have the hometown crowd in Minnesota behind him, but Quillin has fought at the highest level against top competition for years. It has all the makings of a dramatic fight, and combined with the Derevyanchenko vs. Culcay middleweight eliminator, it’s going to make for an action packed night at the Armory and on FS1 and FOX Deportes.”

“Both of these are fantastic matchups because there are championship implications on the line,” powiedział Tom Brown, Prezes TGB Promocje. “That adds to the motivation for each of the guys stepping into the ring. For Qullin and Truax, they both know what it means to be a world champion and this is their opportunity to return to that status. There is always a lot of energy in the Armory for these types of matches and that really carries over to the FS1 and FOX Deportes broadcast for those watching at home. It promises to be a very entertaining evening for all boxing fans.”

A former middleweight champion, Quillin (34-1-1, 23 KO) delivered in his second bout at super middleweight, defeating J’Leon Love last August by unanimous decision. Born in Chicago and raised Michigan, Quillin has called Brooklyn, N. Y.. home throughout a pro career that saw him win a world title against Hassan N’Dam in 2012 and defend it three times. His only loss came to Daniel Jacobs in 2015 after battling former champion Andy Lee to a draw earlier that year.

“I’m approaching this fight very seriously because I know Truax is a durable guy who knows how to fight,” Said Quillin. “He comes from a background where people don’t give him credit for what he’s done, and those are the most dangerous guys. I’m no stranger to fighting in my opponent’s backyard. My job is to go into the ring and go home with the win. I’m looking to walk away with some of his fans on my side by winning the fight and putting on a great performance.”

Fighting out of Osseo, Minnesota, Truax (30-4-2, 19 KO) pulled off one of 2017’s biggest upsets when he traveled to London to defeat James DeGale and become a 168-pound world champion. The 35-year-old lost a hard-fought rematch to DeGale in 2018 and most recently scored a third-round stoppage of Fabiano Soares at the Armory in August.

“Peter Quillin is someone I’ve wanted to fight since I first sparred with him in 2012,” Said Truax. “I walked away from that experience confident that I could get the job done if we were ever matched together. The fact that it’s taking place at home in Minnesota is even better because my fans are going to give me a huge advantage. My goal is to get back into title contention and win my second world title.”

A 2008 Olympian for his native Ukraine, Derevyanchenko (12-1, 10 KO) has made his home in Brooklyn, N. Y.. since turning pro in July 2014. The 33-year-old was unbeaten in his first 12 Walki, earning a world title fight with a final-round stoppage of Tureano Johnson in 2017. He most recently dropped a narrow split-decision to Daniel Jacobs in a middleweight title fight in October.

Culcay (25-3, 13 KO) is originally from Ecuador, spent much of his career fighting out of Germany, and now lives in Florida. He enters this bout on a three-fight winning streak after picking up a trio of wins in 2018. He had previously held an interim 154-pound titles before losing close decisions against Demetrius Andrade and Maciej Sulecki.

Representing his hometown of Brooklyn, N. Y., Colbert (10-0, 3 KO) has begun to make a name for himself showing off tremendous skills across his first 10 pro zwycięstwa. The 22-year-old most recently dominated Josh Hernandez on FS1 in January and he will return to fight at The Armory for the second time after defeating then unbeaten Austin Dulay on FS1 last April.
