דייויס, 22, overcame a childhood filled with hardships to become a prolific amateur and has been virtually unstoppable as a professional. כחובבן (בין 2006-2012), he entered nine tournaments and came away with gold medals in all but one. He won gold in his last four tourneys, כולל 2012 National Golden Gloves Championship at 123 קילו.
“Maybe some little things, but not really. We take training seriously. We take all our opponents very seriously. But I have to treat it as just another fight, against another opponent. We know Pedraza is a world champion, a great fighter that comes to fight and we give him his respect as a world-class fighter. I know he’s going to be ready. He’s always ready when it’s time to get in there and do his job. But I’m prepared for him. He doesn’t know what we bring to the table.”

DeGale worked out and answered questions for media at the Stonebridge Boxing Club as he nears his third straight fight in the United States, this time looking to return to the UK as a unified world champion.
Here is what DeGale had to say ביום שלישי:
ג'יימס דה גאל
“This is the best fighting the best and this fight will prove who’s the best in the division — and I believe I am the number one super middleweight on the planet.
“Unification fights like this are still rare, never mind the best fighting the best, and me and Jack both wanted the fight. We both want to prove who is the best and everyone is in for a treat on ינואר 14.
“I’ve got the best trainer in the world in Jim McDonnell; together we won the world title and now we’re going to unify the title. I’m going to win in style and do the business in the big New York City and come away with both belts to bring back to London.
“Jack’s a serious fighter, הוא אלוף עולם, he has something I want. The winner of this will be the number in the division.
“Growing up, ג'ו Calzaghe, and Prince Naseem Hamed, they’re the ones I used to watch and I’d think, ‘I can’t wait to do that.’ Calzaghe’s one of my favorite fighters. He’s a bit similar to me. הוא דרום דרומי, זורק הרבה אגרופים. He’s another one who didn’t get the full credit he was due until after he retired. But that’s how boxing is.
“I’ve got to perform. My last couple of performances haven’t been vintage James DeGale. This is the best fighting the best, the champ fighting the champ: this is proper.
“I don’t get the respect. I made a bit of history. If I unify the division, going across the pond, no one’s ever done that from Britain.
“This is the one. I get love and support, I do have my fans, but it just feels like I look around at different fighters who haven’t done half what I’ve done and they get so much more recognition.
“I don’t get the credit: the full recognition, אני לא. But after this fight, people will start respecting me and knowing I’m the best.”

BROOKLYN (יולי 31, 2016) – In a possible “Fight of the Year” showdown between two undefeated fighters, קרל פרמפטון edged ליאו סנטה קרוז in a firefight to capture the WBA Featherweight World Championship in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® יום שבת מול 9,062 fans at the electric Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
פרמפטון (23-0, 14 קוס), the former unified super bantamweight champion who moved up to 126 pounds to challenge Santa Cruz (32-1-1, 18 קוס), became the first native of Northern Ireland to become a two-division world champion.
The majority decision, הבקיע 114-114 לצייר, 116-112 ו 117-111, was fought at a blistering pace from the outset.
Santa Cruz’s hallmark has always been his high-octane output and power punching, but the three-division world champion was unable to utilize his reach advantage, and his activity was eliminated by Frampton’s tremendous counterpunching and power shots. While both fighters are top 10 in the world in jabs, a staggering 402 of their 497 combined landed punches were power shots.
While Santa Cruz landed almost equal the amount of power shots – 206 לעומת. 191 – the 46 percent that Frampton connected on appeared to land cleaner and inflict more damage. And while Santa Cruz was the taller fighter, he lunged forward and fought short on the inside, allowing Frampton to minimize the reach and contest the battle toe-to-toe, where it suited him best.
“It’s a dream come true,"אמר פרמפטון. “I had the dream of winning a world title and I won it, but I never thought I’d win in two divisions. זה היה מאבק קשה, I wanted it to be a tough fight because I wanted a fight the people could remember. I respect him a lot. He was a true warrior.
“I had a good game plan. Shane was an unbelievable coach. He told me every time I came back into the corner that we could win this a lot easier. But I won it with my heart, not with my head and I got my hand raised.
“Distance control and hitting hard were the keys. I won the fight because I didn’t lose control. I earned his respect early in the fight with my distance control and hard punching. I would love to take this man to Belfast for a rematch and show the people there what a great fighter he is.”
In calling out the other champions at 126 pounds – including IBF champion Lee Selby and WBC champion Gary Russell Jr, who were both in attendance – Frampton said: “I want big, memorable fights.” Click כאן for Frampton’s full post fight interview.
סנטה קרוז, who captured belts at 118, 122 ו 126 קילו, disagreed with decision but agreed with Frampton’s wish for a rematch.
“It was a tough fight from the beginning,” Santa Cruz said. “We knew it was going to be a tough fight, but I thought it was close when I was in there throwing. Maybe the judges were hearing the crowd and thought that every little punch was scoring.
“He has a difficult style, but we know his style and will get him in the rematch. The crowd was cheering, and I think the judges saw that. אולי, without that, we would have had a draw or maybe a decision.
“It’s hard to get your first loss, but now we’ll go back to the gym, we’ll get the rematch and we’ll win. And that loss will mean nothing. I want to have a rematch in Los Angeles, but I’ll go to Belfast too.”
Undefeated former two-division world champion מייקי גרסיה returned to the ring in impressive fashion after a two-and-a-half year absence, flooring former titlist Elio Rojas four times en route to a fifth round TKO (2:02).
גרסיה (35-0, 29 קוס) showed no signs of ring rust as he stalked forward from the opening bell. The former 126 and 130-pound titlist and pound-for-pound mainstay floored Rojas (24-3, 14 קוס) midway through the third with a right-left combo, sending the Dominican to the canvas for just the second time in his career. Rojas beat the count, but a monster right sent him falling face-forward less than one minute later for the second knockdown of the round. שוב, the durable Rojas continued to come forward as Garcia teed-off.
Rojas was tagged again midway through the fifth with a huge right, falling to the canvas for the third time in fight. Now bleeding from his nose, Rojas was knocked down again just seconds later by a brutal right uppercut from Garcia. שוב, Rojas beat the count, but looked defeated and referee Eddie Claudio stopped the fight.
“The two-and-a-half-year layoff sparked a fire in me and motivated me to do the best that I could,” said Garcia, שנחת 50 אחוזים מיריות כוחו. “Elio is a tough guy and a former world champion. He didn’t come for a paycheck; he came to win.
“Elio took advantage of the opportunity. But we trained for a great performance like this and I was thrilled to get the job done. It felt great to be here with a supportive crowd behind me. I’m looking forward to getting back in there and winning another world title.”
Despite the four knockdowns, Rojas disagreed with the stoppage and wanted to continue fighting.
“I was able to get off the canvas because I trained so hard,” Rojas said. “Mikey is just stronger. I’m a natural 126-pounder fighting above my weight. It was a great matchup and Mikey is a great fighter. I have no doubt that he is going to take over the division.
“I was very upset when the fight was stopped. I wanted to keep going because I have a champion’s heart and I never want to quit.”
Once-beaten 154-pound contender טוני הריסון secured the IBF’s No. 2 position with a ninth round TKO (1:18) של סרגיי Rabchenko in the opening bout of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast.
הריסון (24-1, 20 קוס) is now ranked No. 2 behind IBF Junior Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo and No. 1 mandatory challenger Julian Williams, who have agreed to fight later this year.
Harrison set up the distance with his jab, controlled the pace and outpunched Rabchenko (27-2, 20 קוס) by a nearly 2-1 margin. He was breaking Rabchenko down with a steady diet of power shots and well-timed jabs when he floored the Belarus native with a sharp right hand one minute into the ninth. Rabchenko got up, but looked defeated and unsteady on his feet, forcing referee Arthur Mercante to halt the contest.
Harrison landed 11 של 40 jabs per round on top of an impressive 46 אחוזים מיריות כוחו.
“This is definitely my biggest win ever,” Harrison said. “I was luring him to sleep. My trainer told me that I would have the right hand behind the jab and that’s what happened. I’m a finisher. I had him hurt and I said to the ref ‘you better not let him go.’ I knew I had him beat.
“A focused Tony Harrison can beat anybody at 154-pounds. Now it’s on Jermall Charlo and Julian Williams. I’m in the catbird seat.”
Rabcheko threw an average of only 31 punches per round, connecting just seven per round.
“I didn’t throw enough punches,” Rabchenko admitted. “I kept relying on my defense and didn’t attack enough. I was looking for one shot and it was difficult to do it against Tony Harrison with one punch. The ref did a great job with the stoppage. My health is first and foremost. The health of any fighter is the most important thing. I knew I couldn’t continue.”
Former two-division world champion and SHOWTIME analyst פולי Malignaggi won a 10-round unanimous decision over fellow Brooklynite גבריאל Bracero in the “Battle for Brooklyn.” The welterweight bout was scored 96-94 ו 98-92 פעמיים.
“The Magic Man” stuck to his usual game plan, jabbing at range and utilizing his reach advantage against the naturally smaller Bracero, who was unable to get inside against the master technician. Malinaggi (36-7, 7 קוס) dictated the pace and was the more effective fighter, נחיתה 35 percent of his total punches compared to 29 for Bracero (24-3, 5 קוס). Malignaggi dominated with the jab, נחיתה 11 per round, which is double the welterweight average.
“I knew Bracero was a counter-puncher like myself. I was just trying to be the sharper counter-puncher. We both try to set traps and I just wanted to make him earn any points that he got. באותו הזמן, I felt like I had to earn my points. I dictated the fight with pot shots and stepping over.
“I didn’t want to get desperate. I wanted to force him to get desperate from being behind on the scorecards. I think I did a good job of that. As the fight went on, I just used my movement and feints to stay in control.
“The plan was to keep it simple – if he didn’t adjust to any traps, then I was going to keep using them. I kept it as simple as I could against a guy who if you complicate things, he will catch you. He’s a counter-puncher who can make you pay. "
Later in the evening, Malignaggi returned to his ringside position as commentator for the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast.
“I’m excited to call the fights tonight,” Malignaggi said. “I’m a fan before I’m a fighter. I’m excited to go to work right now.”
בהתקף הפתיחה בהצגה מתחילה אגרוף על EXTREME SHO, Philadelphia’s Tevin פארמרזכיתי 15ה consecutive fight with an impressive 10-round unanimous decision over previously once-beaten lightweight ג'ון Redkach, הבקיע, 99-89, 98-90 פעמיים.
Fighting on his 26ה יום הולדת, פרמר (22-4-1, 5 קוס) was the more effective fighter from the start. He was able to fight on the inside against the naturally bigger Redkach (19-2-1, 15 קוס), who’s only defeat had come in a 2015 title eliminator against current WBC Lightweight World Champion Dejan Zlaticanin.
פרמר, who’s winning streak dates back to a 2012 loss to current 130-pound titlist Jose Pedraza, נחת 42 אחוזים מאגרופי כוחו לעומת רק 19 percent for Redkach, who landed just 16 אחוזים מאגרופיו המוחלט.
“I’m proud of my performance tonight,” Farmer said. “I was very confident that I would be victorious as long as I executed the game plan and that’s what I did. I want a world title. I’m going to go back to 130-pounds and I feel like I’m ready for a title shot. If I have to fight an eliminator I will. I won’t back down from any challenge.
“I beat him down. I was the more experienced fighter and I came in with more rounds and with better opponents on my resume.”
Both fighters were deducted a point, Farmer in the eighth for a low blow and Redkach in the ninth for an intentional head butt.
The SHOWTIME EXTREME telecast also featured highlights of WBO Featherweight World Champion אמנדה סראנו as she dropped Colombia’s Calixta Silgado twice on her way to a first round stoppage.
סראנו (29-1-1, 22 קוס) defended her title in the first women’s world championship bout at Barclays Center and made quick work of the challenger. Serrano swarmed Silgado (14-7-3, 9 קוס) from the start with strong combinations and powerful hooks. Silgado was able to recover from the first knockdown but was quickly smothered by Serrano, who sent her to the canvas and forced referee Benjy Esteves to halt the bout 1:41 לתוך הסיבוב הראשון.
“I just wanted to get in there and show the fans and everybody out there that women can fight,” סעיד סראנו. “We have talent as well. השמיים הם הגבול. I want more belts. I’m going to drop down to 122-pounds and become a four-division world champion like Miguel Cotto.”
Featherweight World Champions Lee Selby and Gary Russell Jr. were interviewed by SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® host Brian Custer during the SHOWTIME® שִׁדוּר בְּטֵלֵוִיזִיָה. See below for quote excerpts:
לי סלבי: “Look, it isn’t my nature to call anyone out. But I know that these guys are looking to fight me, so I will accept the offer with open hands. In the build up to this fight, Leo Santa Cruz says he’ll fight me too. אז, I accept both challenges.”
גארי ראסל ג'וניור: “I want all of the above. I want to address something that that Lee Selby said. He said that no one knows who Gary Russell is. ובכן, everyone knows who the WBC featherweight champ is, and it’s Mr. גארי ראסל. We are both men and I expect you to conduct yourself as a man. Don’t use this as an out to try to avoid fighting me.”
לי סלבי: “I can clarify. Back home, Carl Frampton is a huge name. A fight between he and I would be bigger, that’s what I was saying.”
גארי ראסל ג'וניור: “Look, I like the IBF belt. I want to add it to my collection. And as for Leo Santa Cruz, he wants to avenge the loss I gave him in amateurs. אז, me and Leo, we can make it happen.”
The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will re-air on יום שני, Aug. 1 ב 11 p.m. ו/PT. The SHOWTIME BOXING on SHO EXTREME telecast will re-air on יום רביעי, Aug. 3 ב 11:05 p.m. ו/PT.
