Νοέμβριος 18, 2021 FNU47 Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

With current Undisputed Super Middleweight Champion Canelo Alvarez now confirmed to be facing WBC Cruiserweight Champion Ilunga Makabu in his next bout, Σαμψών Lewkowicz, promoter of undefeated two-time super middleweight world champion David “El Bandera Roja” Benavidez, has received permission from the WBC Board for Benavidez to fight for their Interim Championship in his next bout.

Today at their 59th annual world convention in Mexico City, Alvarez’s trainer Eddy Reynoso petitioned the WBC to allow the future hall-of-famer to challenge Makabu for a chance at another world title in an amazing fifth weight division. Reynoso’s request was granted unanimously.

Σε απάντηση, Lewkowicz immediately requested that Benavidez (25-0, 22 KOs), whom many considered at the top of the list of potential next Canelo opponents, be given a chance to hold their world championship for the third time in his undefeated career. The request was also granted.

An opponent for Benavidez’s attempt at a third WBC belt will be announced shortly.

**Κάντε κλικ** **ΕΔΩ** **για Φωτογραφίες από Esther Lin / SHOWTIME**

**NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CALIF.** (Οκτώβριος 26, 2021) -Αήττητος δύο φορές παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής **David "The Red Flag" Benavídez** and his older brother, longtime contender **Χοσέ Μπεναβίδες**, previewed their respective showdowns before they enter in the ring in their hometown of Phoenix, Αριζόνα. Σάββατο, Νοέμβριος 13 live on SHOWTIME in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Footprint Center.

David will battle former champion **José Uzcátegui** in a super middleweight title eliminator bout that headlines the event, while José faces Argentina’s **Φρανσίσκο Εμανουέλ Τόρες** στο 10-γύρο co-main event. The Benavídez brothers have their sights set on impressing their hometown fans in long-awaited homecoming bouts November 13, which will mark their first time entering the ring in Phoenix since 2015.

Τα εισιτήρια για το live event, η οποία προωθείται από την Sampson Boxing και την TGB Promotions, είναι προς πώληση τώρα και είναι διαθέσιμα για αγορά μέσω Ticketmaster.com.

Here is what the Benavídez brothers, plus their father and trainer Jose Benavídez Sr., had to say from training camp in North Hollywood, Καλιφόρνια:

**DAVID BENAVÍDEZ**

“Everything has been amazing in camp. We’re sparring 12-13 rounds and running six or seven miles a day. I’ve worked very hard and I can’t wait to put on a show November 13.

“Uzcátegui is a tough competitor and he was a former world champion, so I have to give him that respect. There are big fights on the horizon for me, so I have to prepare accordingly for Uzcátegui.

“I feel like I’m the better fighter. I have the better skills, περισσότερη δύναμη, more speed and I’m hungrier too. It’s going to be a great night for my team. I feel like I’m going to go in there and get the knockout victory.

“A lot of people in Phoenix are excited for this one. I’m excited to go back. The timing is perfect. Για μένα, this is the biggest fight of my career. I’m ready for anything that comes my way November 13.

“We’re just focused on Uzcátegui, but of course there are bigger fights for me in the future. If I win this fight, I’m in the number one spot for whoever wins between Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant.

“Facing Canelo would be a huge fight in the super middleweight division, but I have to go out there on November 13 and get this victory first.

"Τώρα αμέσως, with the level I’m at, the fighters that I’m seeking to fight are champions and former champions. Whether it’s Canelo, Plant or Jermall Charlo, I feel like we’re all going to end up facing each other at some point.

“Canelo vs. Plant is a great fight for the division. It’s a fight where both guys have a lot to prove. Those kinds of fights tend to bring the best out of everybody. There’s a lot of pressure and a lot of glory on the line, so I feel like they’re going to be the best they’ve ever been. I’m going to be ready for the winner next.

“I’ve been a pro for eight years already. I just want the biggest fights out there. This is the level I’ve been working to get to for a long time, and we’re finally here at this moment. I want to fight the best of the best and prove myself. I want to show that I’m the best super middleweight in the world.

“Uzcátegui is strong and he has a will to win, but I just believe that I have the better skill set. These are the types of fighters that I need to test myself against. It’s definitely going to be a war, but I’m going to come out on top.”

**JOSÉ BENAVÍDEZ**

“It feels great to be on this card with my brother, and to be making my comeback in my hometown. There’s going to be a lot of support for me. It’s a great feeling and I’m looking forward to giving my fans a great outcome.

“I had to take a break, but now I have a different kind of mindset. I just want to keep fighting, training and staying ready. I want to get to the top of the super welterweight division.

“The delay has just given me more time to train, more time to get stronger and more time to get ready. I’ve just been making the most of it.

“I’m going to be an animal on fight night. I’m coming for everything. Είμαι πεινασμένος. I’ve been out of the ring for years, so I need to make a statement. That’s what I’m looking to do November 13.

“We have a great team here. We all came from nothing and we all started this journey at the same time. We learned day by day and that’s what makes our bond strong. Without my team, I wouldn’t be boxing.

“I have a lot of friends, family and fans who are coming out for my return. That’s really what’s motivating me. I’m happy that people still want to see me in the ring.

«Δεν ξέρω πάρα πολλά για τον αντίπαλό μου, and I honestly don’t care, because I’m taking him down. No matter who they put in front of me, good luck to them.

“After my fight, which I’m going to end early, I’m going to be ready to walk out with my brother and support him for his fight.

“I’ve been spending a lot of time with my wife and my two daughters during this time off because there were so many things I wasn’t able to be around for earlier in my career. It’s been amazing but I’m excited to be back. I still have a lot to prove.”

**JOSÉ BENAVÍDEZ SR., David and José’s Father and Trainer**

“David is looking very strong right now. With every fight he gets stronger and stronger and matures more and more. He’s just getting his man strength, so I think everyone is going to see something spectacular November 13.

“Words can’t even describe how it feels to be coming back to Phoenix training my two sons for this big show. It’s something I’ve only dreamed of. Now it’s happening, and we’re super excited.

“I always have to continue adjusting and growing as a trainer. I have to understand that these are grown men now. I had to stop thinking of them as my little kids. I’m always trying to learn more so that I can support their careers as best I can.

“I’m super proud of Jose for getting to this point after his injury. Everything he does now is just extra, it’s up to him to stay focused and work hard. He’s very strong both physically and mentally and that’s why I never gave up on him.

“We’ve been dedicating ourselves and sacrificing every day so that we can give our people in Phoenix a really good show. They’re going to get an exciting night and I can’t wait.”

Ακόμα μόλις 24 ετών, Ο Μπεναβίντεθ (24-0, 21 KOs) μπαίνει σε αυτόν τον αγώνα έχοντας νοκ άουτ τους τέσσερις τελευταίους αντιπάλους του, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του Σεπτεμβρίου 2019 νοκ άουτ του δύο φορές πρωταθλητής σούπερ μεσαίου βάρους Άντονι Ντίρελ. Πιο πρόσφατα, κέρδισε νίκες σταμάτημα επί του Roamer Alexis Angulo τον Αύγουστο 2020 και τον Ρόναλντ Έλις τον Μάρτιο του τρέχοντος έτους. Ο Benavídez εκπαιδεύεται από τον πατέρα του José Sr., μαζί με τον αδερφό του και πρώην διεκδικητή του τίτλου, Χοσέ Τζούνιορ. Σε 2017, έγινε ο νεότερος πρωταθλητής σούπερ μεσαίου βάρους στην ιστορία της πυγμαχίας νικώντας τον Ρόναλντ Γκάβριλ στο SHOWTIME μόλις 20 ετών.

«Είμαι πολύ ενθουσιασμένος που θα παλέψω μπροστά στους οπαδούς της γενέτειράς μου,»Είπε ο Μπεναβέντεζ. «Είναι ένα όνειρο που έγινε πραγματικότητα για μένα να επιστρέψω στο σπίτι ως παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής δύο φορές. Προπονούμαι για τον Ουζκατεγκούι σαν να είναι παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής γιατί έχει μεγάλη εμπειρία και πεινάει μαχητής. Ξέρω ότι χρειάζεται αυτή τη νίκη, αλλά δεν θα το αφήσω να συμβεί. Παραμένω αφοσιωμένος και με κίνητρο για να κερδίσω τον Αύγουστο 28 στο SHOWTIME και θέλω να φαίνομαι εντυπωσιακός κάνοντας αυτό για να γίνω ακόμα μεγαλύτερος και καλύτερος αγώνας στο μέλλον ».

Γεννήθηκε στη Βενεζουέλα και αγωνίζεται έξω από την Τιχουάνα, Μεξικό, Uzcategui (31-4, 26 KOs) κατέκτησε έναν παγκόσμιο τίτλο 168 λιβρών τον Μάρτιο του 2018 σταματώντας τον βετεράνο διεκδικητή Andre Dirrell μετά από οκτώ γύρους. Ο 30χρονος έβαλε τον εαυτό του σε θέση να παλέψει για έναν τίτλο με τέσσερις συνεχόμενες νίκες στα δίχτυα 2015 μέσω 2016, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της νίκης επί του τότε αήττητου Τζούλιους Τζάκσον. Από τότε που έχασε τον τίτλο από τον αήττητο πρωταθλητή Caleb Plant τον Ιανουάριο 2019, Ο Uzcategui έχει αναπηδήσει για να κερδίσει τρεις από τους τέσσερις τελευταίους αγώνες του, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των νικών με νοκ άουτ 2021 πάνω από τον Jaime Hernandez Lopez και τον Josue Obando.

«Είμαι ενθουσιασμένος που θα επιστρέψω στη μεγάλη σκηνή για αυτόν τον αγώνα,»Είπε ο Ουζκατεγκούι. «Ξέρω τι αντιμετωπίζω με τον Μπεναβέντεζ. Είναι ένας μεγάλος μαχητής, και αυτό είναι το μεγαλύτερο κίνητρό μου. Αυτός θα είναι πόλεμος και ανυπομονώ να δώσω στους ανθρώπους έναν μεγάλο αγώνα. Και οι δυο μας ερχόμαστε σε καβγά, οπότε αυτό θα είναι ένα κλασικό στις 28 Αυγούστου ».

Ο 28χρονος Benavídez (27-1, 18 KOs) είναι ο μεγαλύτερος αδελφός του headliner του πρωταγωνιστή David και επιστρέφει για να πολεμήσει στη γενέτειρά του, το Phoenix, για πρώτη φορά μετά από έξι χρόνια.. Ένας μακροπρόθεσμος υποψήφιος, Ο Benavídez θα επιστρέψει στη δράση για πρώτη φορά μετά την απόσυρση του τίτλου 147 λιρών στον Terence Crawford τον Οκτώβριο 2018. Ο Benavídez είχε κερδίσει στο παρελθόν νίκες έναντι υποψηφίων όπως ο Mauricio Herrera, Ο Φρανσίσκο Σαντάνα και ο Φρανκ Ρόχας στο δρόμο για αυτή την ευκαιρία για τον παγκόσμιο τίτλο.

«Είμαι πολύ ενθουσιασμένος που θα επιστρέψω στο ρινγκ μετά από λίγη ώρα εκτός,»Είπε ο Μπεναβίντεθ. «Νιώθω πιο ώριμη, με κίνητρο και ισχυρότερο από ποτέ. Το να πολεμάς δίπλα στον αδερφό μου και στη γενέτειρά μου είναι πραγματικά ένα όνειρο που έγινε πραγματικότητα. Ανυπομονώ πραγματικά να κάνω μια τρομερή επιστροφή.

**Click Here to Watch David Benavidez’s Post-Fight Interview**

**Uncasville, Conn. – March 13, 2021 -** Former two-time world champion **David Benavidez** kept his perfect ring record intact with an 11^ου-round technical knockout victory against veteran **Ρόναλντ Έλις** in their WBC Super Middleweight Title Eliminator main event on Saturday night’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast, live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Phoenix’s Benavidez (24-0, 21 KOs) flashed brilliant hand speed, accuracy and power as he dominated Ellis (18-2-2, 12 KOs) του Lynn, Μάζα., επί 11 rounds before referee Johnny Callas finally waved off the fight at 2:03 of the penultimate round. The 24-year-old star held a significant lead on all three scorecards (99-91, 98-92 x2) at the time of the stoppage.

“I rate my performance pretty good but I know I could have done better,»Είπε ο Μπεναβίντεθ, who extended his perfect record to 24-0. “Ronald Ellis is a tough competitor. I just hope the fans like what they saw. I threw a lot of combinations, punches in bunches. There were a lot of times I thought Ellis was going to quit but he didn’t. Hats off to him, αυτός είναι ένας σκληρός τύπος. It was a little later than I wanted but a stoppage is still a stoppage. I hope the fans got a good show tonight.”

A boxing prodigy turned youngest super middleweight world champion in boxing history, Benavidez turned in a masterful performance as evidenced by his punch stats, προσγείωση 289 του 532 power punches thrown for an eye-popping connection rate of 54%. Benavidez connected on 50 punches in the 11^ου round which ultimately led to the stoppage. Both fighters combined to throw 1,403 γροθιές. Following his dominating win on SHOWTIME, Benavidez is one step closer to reclaiming a super middleweight world title.

“I want all the big guys,” Benavidez added. “Speaking for the fans too, they would love to see me against all the big guys because as you can see, I love throwing punches. I love stopping people so me versus any big name would be an amazing fight. Θέλω [Jermall] Charlo, Canelo Alvarez, Ο Caleb φυτών, all of them.”

Ellis, 31, showed tremendous determination and a very sturdy chin as he absorbed the constant onslaught from the former two-time world champion. Often working off the ropes as Benavidez pressed the action, Ellis landed 89 από του 334 τρυπήματα.

“I could have popped the jab and controlled things a little bit more and not let him smother me,” said Ellis. “Hell yeah I wanted to finish. I didn’t want to give him that satisfaction. I could have moved a little bit more and not taken so many shots to the head. Hats off to him. He did what he had to do. Ποτέ δεν μου κάνει κακό, that’s the funny thing. I took a lot of shots but he didn’t damage me or have me super hurt. I never thought about quitting.”

The sports world lost an icon today as the death of Marvelous Marvin Hagler was reported hours before the live telecast began. A member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Hagler, ο οποίος ήταν 66 ετών, fought in the first main event ever on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on March 10, 1986. Hagler was honored with a ceremonial 10-count prior to tonight’s main event. Click Here to Watch SHOWTIME’s Tribute to Marvin Hagler

Benavidez reflected on Hagler’s passing after the fight: “I had met Marvin once before and he was a great champion. Someone told me he fought the first fight on SHOWTIME. Someone on my team let me know a few hours before the fight that he had passed. It’s sad and he will be missed. He was a true legend.”

Στο ομο-κύριο γεγονός, **Ισαάκ Κρουζ** (21-1-1, 15 KOs) of Mexico City earned a unanimous decision victory over Argentina’s **Matias Romero** (24-1, 8 KOs) in a 12-round WBA Lightweight Title Eliminator. It marked the first time that the 22-year-old Cruz went 12 rounds in his professional career. The judges’ scorecards read 114-113, 115-112 και 118-109. SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 115-112, giving rounds 10 μέσω 12 to the rising star.

“I’m not happy about the style of the fight but I am satisfied I took the victory home and we’ve come to the No. 1 spot in the WBA,", Είπε ο Κρουζ. “I didn’t know what was going to happen [as far as the judges]. We forced the fight at all times and it would have been very impossible for the judges to do something to me when I was the one pushing the fight.”

Throughout the 36-minute affair, Cruz constantly applied pressure against his opponent which led to Romero, the more seasoned professional, to hold excessively in an attempt to stall the pressure. Despite being warned frequently by referee Harvey Dock, the 24-year-old Romero was never penalized. During the rough-and-tumble contest, ωστόσο, Cruz was docked a point in the sixth round for a low blow.

“He was a fighter who didn’t want to exchange punches,” Cruz added, in reference to the persistent clinching. “I was very fed up with the clinches—there was never a warning toward him. I did my best out there. Not the best way I wanted to do it but thank God we won the fight and we’re taking the victory home.”

Romero presented an effective jab throughout the fight, προσγείωση 89 του 282, but it was Cruz’s power punching that ultimately earned him the victory. Σταυρός, who is now the No. 1 contender for a world title shot at 135 λίρες, προσγειώθηκε 145 του 459 διατρήσεις δύναμης, συμπεριλαμβανομένου 91 πυροβολισμούς σωμάτων.

“Obviously I’m not happy with the decision,” stated Romero following his first professional loss. “I thought maybe it was a draw. Overall I’m happy with my performance. He’s supposed to the be the ‘Pit Bull’ and I went the distance. You have to take the opportunities when they are presented and I wish I would have had more time to get ready for this fight.”

In the evening’s opening bout, Cleveland’s **Terrell Gausha** (22-2-1, 11 KOs) scored an impressive second-round technical knockout over fellow Ohioan **Jamontay Clark** (15-2-1, 7 KOs) του Σινσινάτι. Gausha, 33, did not land a single power punch in the opening round but worked well behind the jab, winning the round on two of the judges’ scorecards. As the second round neared completion, Gausha beautifully countered a lunging left hand from the southpaw Clark which sent the 26-year-old to the canvas for the first time in his professional career. Clark beat the count but moments later was met by a barrage of unanswered punches in the neutral corner. Referee Arthur Mercante jumped in and called a halt to the bout at 2:44 του δεύτερου γύρου.

“I knew Jamontay was a tough kid, I’ve been watching him since Cleveland so I knew about him already,” said Gausha. “I felt like I had a chance to knock him out but I didn’t know how the fight would play out. But I feel I did good, executed the game plan. My coaches had been studying film and we executed.

“I just took my time,” added Gausha. “I was setting traps. I knew he would be open eventually, but I had to be cautious too because he’s a rangy guy, has a good left hand. But I knew there were holes in his game and we executed and when the opportunity presented itself, we landed that big right hand.”

With his emphatic stoppage win, ο 2012 Olympian emerges as a contender for a title shot in the super welterweight division. In his first and only world title shot in 2017, Gausha dropped a unanimous decision to current super welterweight world champion Erislandy Lara.

“I know I made a statement tonight,” added Gausha. “I put the division on notice. I’m locked and loaded and I’m ready. I want to be a world champion so I’m looking to fight whoever I need to fight to get to the belts.”

Σάββατο SHOWTIME ΠΡΩΤΑΘΛΗΜΑ ΠΥΓΜΑΧΙΑΣ telecast will replay Sunday at 8:55 π.μ.. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and Monday at 10 μ.μ. ET on SHOWTIME EXTREME.

**Uncasville, Conn.** - Αύγουστος 16, 2020 – David Benavidez kept his unbeaten record intact after 23 fights with a dominating performance against Alexis Angulo in the main event of an exciting night of boxing live on SHOWTIME Saturday night from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
*(For highlights, κλικ* ***ΕΔΩ***)

Στο SHOWTIME ΠΡΩΤΑΘΛΗΜΑ ΠΥΓΜΑΧΙΑΣ^® tripleheader card, the 23-year-old Benavídez (23-0, 20 KOs) – who lost his WBC world title belt on the scale on Friday – scored a stoppage victory against the former world title challenger Angulo (26-2, 22 KOs), whose corner threw in the towel after the 10^ου γύρος.

“I rate myself a solid eight,” Benavidez said. “I could have done some stuff better, but overall it was a great performance. I didn’t want to go too fast and leave myself exposed for some big shots. He’s a heavy puncher. But like I said, I like to do the stuff that nobody has ever done. Nobody has ever stopped him and I’m pretty sure nobody is ever going to make him look like that again. I demolished him from round one to round 10.”

A seven-year pro at the age of 23, Benavidez landed 56 percent of his power punches in the fight and averaged 29 του 70 punches thrown per round. Benavidez closed the show by landing a career high 54 punches in round 10.

Colombia’s Angulo, τώρα που παλεύει έξω του Μαϊάμι, Fla., entered his second world title opportunity riding a three-fight winning streak, but was unable to come counter anything Benavidez threw at him.

Benavidez said he was disappointed and embarrassed by not making the 168-pound weight limit on Friday. “Everything everyone said about me is true,” Benavidez said. “I should be a professional and come in on weight, but this time I couldn’t do it. It’s my first time not making weight in eight years of being a professional.”

“I really have to talk to my promoter to see what’s next,” Benavidez added. “I’ll fight anybody to get back to the spot I was. You could see by this performance tonight, I could put on a great performance against anybody and people will pay to see that. I’m probably going to go right back into training camp to make sure I don’t miss weight.”

Στο ομο-κύριο γεγονός, rising lightweight Rolando “Rolly” Romero (12-0, 10 KOs) scored a controversial unanimous decision over previously fellow unbeaten Jackson Maríñez (19-1, 7 KOs) to capture the interim WBA Lightweight Title. Τα αποτελέσματα ήταν 115-113, 116-112 και 118-110, all in favor of Romero.
*(For highlights, κλικ* ***ΕΔΩ***).

The story of the fight was Maríñez’s reliable jabs as the Dominican fighter won the battle in that department (14 percent compared to Romero’s 10 τοις εκατό). It was Romero, ωστόσο, who held the advantage on power punches connecting on 24 τοις εκατό (31 του 228) σε σύγκριση με 18 percent for Maríñez (72 του 401).

“I don’t think I had a bad performance,” said Romero, who confidently predicted a brutal knockout would end the bout in his pre-fight comments. «Νόμιζα ότι κέρδισε τον αγώνα. Regardless of everything, I’m the world champ now. Είμαι χαρούμενος. "

Romero suffered a slight cut above his left eye in the ninth round on a head butt, but it didn’t seem to affect his performance in the championship rounds. “He came out a little bit tougher and slicker than what I thought,” Romero said. “But all he did was move around the entire fight. He didn’t even try to engage. It’s hard to knock out someone who doesn’t try to engage. I hurt him multiple times with body shots and a few hooks. There was one moment I hurt him with a right hand and he pulled my head down. It was just hard to finish him off.

"Ναι [I would give him a rematch]. He didn’t do anything special.”

The 29-year-old Maríñez, who holds the WBA’s No. 6 κατάταξη, is trained by Robert Garcia, who was not present in the Maríñez’s corner electing not to travel cross country from his Southern California home.

“That was pure robbery,” Maríñez said. «Κέρδισα τον αγώνα. I out-jabbed, out-boxed him. You could tell he didn’t think he won the fight right afterwards. It’s a robbery.”

Στην περίοδο έναρξης της τηλεοπτικής εκπομπής, heavyweight contender Otto Wallin recorded a TKO at 2:32 of the fifth round against Travis Kauffman, who re-tore his left labrum at the start of the fifth round and was unable to lift his arm. Referee Michael Ortega signaled the end of the fight and afterwards Kauffman announced he was retiring from boxing, just days ahead of his 35^ου γενέθλια.

The 29-year-old Wallin (21-1, 14 KOs) who had a four-inch height advantage over Kauffman, said he felt for the injured Kauffman, but was dominating the fight. “I was breaking him down. I had a lot left,” Wallin said. “Too bad he hurt his shoulder in the end, but I was breaking him and hitting him with good clean shots.”

Wallin looked sharp in his return to the ring for the first time since he nearly defeated Tyson Fury in September 2019. Προσγειώθηκε 12 jabs per round and 54 percent of his power shots throughout the fight. Currently living in New York City and originally Representing his native Sundsvall, Σουηδία, Wallin had former champion Joey Gamache in his corner for the bout.

Both fighters have recovered from injury in the recent past, as well as the COVID-19 virus. “I didn’t feel anything from COVID,” Wallin said. “I had great training. I was sick in March, but COVID didn’t hit me very hard. I was lucky. I’m sorry for everyone who lost their lives due to COVID.

“I want to go back to New York next and relax a little bit. I’ve been training for a long time now, almost a year. So I want to relax a little bit and hopefully I can fight again by the end of the year.”

The 34-year-old Kauffman (32-4, 23 KOs) from Reading, Pa., was fighting for the first time in five years and seven fights without his trainer Naazim Richardson, who died unexpectedly last month. Μετά τον αγώνα, Kauffman said he was retiring from boxing.

“I tore my left labrum getting ready for the [Luis] Ortiz fight,” Kauffman said. “Like a dummy, I waited five months to have surgery on it after the Ortiz fight [December of 2018]. I started feeling better and was going to do a tune-up fight in March, but then COVID happened. This opportunity came up and I didn’t want to pass it up and I felt good. In the first round I hurt it. I felt it, but then it went away and I thought maybe it’s just my mind and it went away. Then in the fifth round I heard it and that was it. It was torn again.

“I’m done. I’m retiring. I have kids. I’ve been doing this a long time,” Kauffman said.

“David Benavídez will look to keep his perfect record intact, continue to display his superstar potential and further cement his positioning in the stacked 168-pound division,», είπε ο Τομ Μπράουν, Πρόεδρος της TGB Προσφορές. “As an undefeated world champ, Benavídez can expect a strong challenge from Alexis Angulo, which should create an action-packed main event on SHOWTIME. Combined with a battle of hungry unbeaten lightweights in ‘Rolly’ Romero and Jackson Maríñez, plus a heavyweight slugfest between Otto Wallin and Travis Kauffman, this shapes up to be another can’t miss night of high-stakes action.”

“It’s going to be great to be in the corner of David ‘El Bandera Roja’ Benavídez on fight night,»Είπε ο Sampson Lewkowicz του Sampson Boxing, who is recovering from a recent surgery. “I feel so good and so strong and I truly can’t wait to be there to support the youngest super middleweight champion in history.”

The event is promoted by TGB Promotions and Sampson Boxing. The Romero vs. Maríñez bout is co-promoted by Mayweather Promotions.

The 23-year-old Benavídez (22-0, 19 KOs) defends his belt after defeating two-time super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell in September, stopping him in nine rounds. Benavidez is trained by his father José Sr., μαζί με τον αδερφό του και πρώην διεκδικητή του τίτλου, Χοσέ Τζούνιορ. Σε 2017, έγινε ο νεότερος πρωταθλητής σούπερ μεσαίου βάρους στην ιστορία της πυγμαχίας νικώντας τον Ρόναλντ Γκάβριλ στο SHOWTIME μόλις 20 ετών. Εκπροσωπώντας την πατρίδα του τον Φοίνιξ, Αριζόνα. Ο Benavídez πήγε από ένα 15χρονο θαύμα που έκανε πόλεμο με τους Gennady Golovkin και Peter Quillin, στον διεκδικητή του παγκόσμιου τίτλου με σερί νοκ άουτ 10 αγώνων από 2015 μέσω 2017, including a highlight-reel knockout of Rogelio Medina with a seven-punch combination that earned him his first championship fight.

“It’s been almost a year since the last time I fought, so I’m very eager to get back in the ring and give the fans a great fight,»Είπε ο Μπεναβέντεζ. “Training camp has been amazing. Ευτυχώς, my dad opened his own gym just before the pandemic, so we’ve had private training and been able to safely bring in sparring partners to help me work. I’m facing a very tricky and rugged fighter, so I’m taking him very seriously. I feel like I can take advantage of some openings in his defense and look for the knockout like I do every fight.”

Born in El Bordo, Colombia and now fighting out of Miami, Fla., Angulo (26-1, 22 KOs) enters his second world title opportunity on a three-fight winning streak, including two triumphs over previously unbeaten fighters. Angulo stopped Reinaldo Gonzalez in 2018 in his first fight since losing a decision to then-super middleweight champion Gilberto Ramirez earlier that year. He scored a decision victory this January over Anthony Sims Jr. to put himself in position to again challenge the best in the division.

“I’m ready for anything that happens in the ring on August 15,” said Angulo. “This is going to be a great fight for the fans because of the style I bring to the ring. Benavidez is a strong champion, but my style will be too much for him and I will have my hand raised on fight night.”

Καταπολέμηση έξω από το Λας Βέγκας, Nev., Romero(11-0, 10 KOs) added three knockout victories to his tally in 2019 before his 2020 debut saw him stop previously unbeaten Arturs Ahmetovs in February. A fast-rising prospect in the Mayweather Promotions stable, the 24-year-old is ranked No. 10 by the WBA and will look to extend his six-fight knockout streak on August 15.

“It feels great to return to the ring and to be fighting for such a great opportunity,” said Romero. “This has been the best camp of my career, and I’ll just say this, if a pandemic is holding you back from training, then you don’t want it bad enough. I already believe I should be here with the top guys, but the world will actually get to see that I am who I say I am. I’m confident in my abilities as a fighter and I have the best in the business, Floyd Mayweather, behind me. I think this fight will end fairly quickly, but you will get to see the growth in me as a fighter. This is another fight that will further prove I’m here to stay. Sign up for KO’s!”

“This is a big step up for Rolando, and he’s been waiting for the opportunity to showcase his talent,” said Leonard Ellerbe, Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος της Mayweather Προσφορές. “He has a big test ahead to prove himself. This is going to be another one that you don’t want to miss, so tune-in to SHOWTIME on Saturday, August 15.”

The 29-year-old Maríñez (19-0, 7 KOs) holds the WBA’s No. 6 κατάταξη, which he earned with victories over Rolando Giono and Kenin Betancourt while picking up eight wins between 2018 και 2019. Representing his native Santo Domingo, Δομινικανή Δημοκρατία, Maríñez was successful in his U.S. debut in December of last year, stopping Yardley Armenta Cruz in two rounds.

“I’ve had a great training camp for this fight,” said Maríñez. “I’ve been sparring with Vergil Ortiz and Jose Ramirez, plus other fighters in Robert Garcia’s gym, and it’s gotten me ready to step into the ring. I know that Romero is a tough and durable fighter, so it won’t be easy, but I’m going to do anything I can to bring the title back home.”

Wallin (20-1, 13 KOs) will return to the ring for the first time since he nearly defeated Tyson Fury in September 2019, when he opened up a gruesome cut over Fury’s right eye with a legal punch that nearly halted the fight. While the 29-year-old lost a decision, he proved his mettle as a potential future heavyweight champion. Representing his native Sundsvall, Σουηδία, Wallin trains in New York with former champion Joey Gamache.

“I’m very happy to finally be back in the ring,” said Wallin. “It’s been a long and crazy year in many ways and it feels great to be getting ready to step back into the ring. I’ve been training steady since the Fury fight and I feel like I’ve developed my game in a lot of ways. Kauffman is a tough veteran that can both come forward or box if he wants to. He’s a fan friendly fighter and I have to be ready at all times. We have a great game plan as always and I’m in excellent shape. I know I have all the tools to beat Kauffman.”

A veteran of the heavyweight landscape, Kauffman (32-3, 23 KOs) owns a ledger that includes challenges of top heavyweights including Luis Ortiz, Chris Arreola and Amir Mansour, μεταξύ άλλων,. The Reading, Pennsylvania native lost his most recent bout to Ortiz, ακολουθώντας α 2018 triumph over Scott Alexander.

“This is my first training camp in seven years without Brother Naazim Richardson, but I know that he wouldn’t want me to leave camp and he’d want me to stay focused,” said Kauffman. “Having him pass away while I was in camp was one of the hardest things I’ve had to deal with, but there’s adversity in every camp I’ve had. I wouldn’t feel right if there wasn’t adversity to overcome. Ο πατερας μου, Μάρσαλ, stepped back in as my head trainer. We know we’re facing a young, hungry fighter, but I have more experience than him and I don’t think he can last 10 rounds with me when I’m at 100% like I’ll be on August 15.”

Additional non-televised action will include super middleweight contenderAlantez Fox(26-2-1, 12 KOs) battling Ghana’sHabib Ahmed(27-1-1, 18 KOs) in an eight-round attraction.
