DEVIN HANEY VS. ZAUR ABDULLAEV SEPTEMBER 13 BIJ HET HULU-THEATER IN NYC

Laat een reactie achter
Augustus 6, 2019 – Devin Haney kan een gigantische sprong maken naar wereldtitelglorie als hij het op vrijdag september moet opnemen tegen mede-ongeslagen ster Zaur Abdullaev in een laatste eliminator voor de WBC World Lightweight-titel. 13 in het Hulu Theatre in Madison Square Garden, New York, live op DAZN in de VS en op Sky Sports in het VK.

Haney (22-0 14 KO) maakte in mei een opwindend debuut met Matchroom Boxing USA en DAZN, Antonio Moran vernietigen met een KO van het jaar-mededinger in de zevende ronde van hun clash in Maryland. De 20 -jarige vecht voor het eerst in zijn carrière in de Big Apple en de inwoner van Las Vegas, gerangschikt #2 met de WBC, raakt Manhattan voor zijn grootste gevecht tot nu toe in samenwerking met DHP Promotions en Titov Boxing.

Abdullaev (11-0 7 KO) is gerangschikt #3 waarbij de WBC de Silver Lightweight-band had geland in slechts zijn negende pro-optreden in april 2018, en de zeer gewaardeerde en gevaarlijke Russische geregistreerd zijn 11th pro overwinning en zevende in de verte in februari, stoppen Humberto Martinez in Ekaterinburg, en vecht nu buiten zijn thuisland voor de eerste keer in zijn carrière.

Het WBC kroon zal in de handen van een van beide Vasiliy Lomachenko of Luke Campbell MBE wanneer de clash in de O2 in Londen op augustus 31, met Haney en Abdullaev scherp observeren die botsing uit hun trainingskampen raken hoornen on September 13.

“Het voelt altijd goed als ik de officiële datum,” Said Haney. “Ik blijf in de sportschool, want ik ben een hond en ik hou van om te vechten. Ik wil dat de hele wereld om mij te zien stijgen tot mijn concurrenten. Hoe beter ze zijn, hoe beter ik ben. Ik vecht een ongeslagen vechter op Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden.

“New York fans zijn enkele van de meest trouwe fans in de sport en ik kijk ernaar uit om echt het aantrekken van een show voor hen. Abdullaev houdt ervan om druk uit te oefenen en ik verwacht niets minder september 13. Ik heb hem gezien te vechten en hij is een hongerige vechter, er is geen twijfel dat hij is mijn zwaarste tegenstander tot nu toe. Dit gevecht is een stap verwijderd van een wereld titel gevecht dus we hebben allebei veel aan de lijn.

“Abdullaev beschikt niet over een grote naam, maar hij is gerangschikt #3 voor een reden, en ik ben hem of iemand anders die in mijn weg staat niet kopje onder. Ik ben gezegend met een enorme steun van DAZN en Eddie Hearn hebben. Met deze samenwerking heb ik een kans om de beste in de wereld te bestrijden. Ik moedig iedereen in NYC aan om hun kaartjes te kopen of de DAZN-app te downloaden en mijn groei naar de volgende superster in het boksen te zien. Dit gevecht zal worden aangestoken!”

“Ik ben heel blij dat de strijd gaande is,” zei Abdullaev. “Ik raakte in paniek toen ik enkele berichten van Haney op sociale media zag dat niemand met 135 pond tegen hem wil vechten, en hij moet misschien in gewicht toenemen. Ik bleef op mijn nagels bijten en wilde me echt verloven, maar kreeg te horen dat ik geduldig moest blijven. Allah de genadige heeft deze strijd geleverd en is nu werkelijkheid.

“Ik ben een beetje teleurgesteld dat het gevecht niet zal plaatsvinden in de achtertuin van Haney in Las Vegas, want het zou geweldig zijn geweest om hem te onttronen voor zijn huis vol, maar New York is een geweldige boksstad. Ik ben niet gek en ik begrijp wel dat ik als underdog kom maar in september 13, Ik kom om de hype tegen alle verwachtingen in te crashen.”

WBA en IBF World Super-Bantamweight-kampioen Daniel Roman leidt een gestapelde undercard in een verrukkelijke Chief Support-wedstrijd terwijl hij het opneemt tegen de dodelijke WBA-verplichte uitdager Murodjon Akhmadaliev. Romeins (27-2-1 10 KO) verenigde zijn WBA-kroon met de IBF-band van de Ier TJ Doheny in een strijd van het jaar-mededinger thuis in Los Angeles in april, een vijfde wereldtiteloverwinning op de stuiter een vierde binnen 14 maanden voor de 29 jaar oud.

Roman's vijfde verdediging van zijn WBA-kroon zet hem op tegen het gevaarlijke Oezbeekse talent Akhmadaliev (6-0 5 KO) – de zeer gedecoreerde amateur zag er angstaanjagend uit door vijf van zijn zes pro-uitstapjes tot nu toe in de verte te beëindigen, met de 25 De laatste overwinning van een jaar oud komt op dezelfde LA-rekening als Roman's stofwisseling met Doheny. Roman versus. Akhmadaliev wordt u aangeboden in samenwerking met Thompson Boxing en World of Boxing.

“Iedereen die mij kent, begrijpt dat ik een echte vechter ben,” zei Roman. “Ik zal vechten tegen iedereen die ze voor me neerzetten. Achmadaliev heeft honger, maar zo ben ik. Het is niet zo lang geleden [2017] toen ik uitdaagde voor de WBA-titel, dus we gaan het niet opgeven. Ik ben hier om de WBA-gordel nogmaals te bestrijden en te verdedigen. Ik heb twee riemen [WBA en IBF], maar ik wil meer. Mijn doel is om ze allemaal te krijgen, dus ik zie Akhmadaliev zeker niet over het hoofd. Hij heeft die amateur-stamboom, kan stoten met kracht en komt graag naar voren. De tweede onderschat je iemand, dan gebeuren er slechte dingen. Ik ben klaar voor alles wat hij brengt.

“Als een verenigde kampioen, Ik begrijp dat ik een doelwit op mijn rug heb. Daarom ben ik in de sportschool geweest, scherp blijven zoals ik altijd doe. Er is geen tijd om te ontspannen en terug te kijken op wat ik heb gedaan, want mijn werk is nog niet af.”

“Danny is een van de meest toegewijde en gedisciplineerde wereldkampioenen die er zijn,” zei Ken Thompson, voorzitter van Thompson Boxing Promotions. “Hij houdt van uitdagingen en op dit punt in zijn carrière, hij wil alleen de zwaarste en grootste gevechten. Akhmadaliev is een jonge en gevaarlijke tegenstander, maar Danny heeft alle tools om zijn heerschappij als het beste talent in de divisie voort te zetten. We zijn ervan overtuigd dat hij weer een uitstekende prestatie zal leveren en voor de vijfde keer zijn WBA-titel zal behouden.”

“Ik ben erg blij dat Daniel Roman dit gevecht aanging,” zei Akhmadaliev. “Ik weet dat we allebei krijgers zijn en dat dit een echte oorlog zal worden! Mis deze strijd niet te missen!”

“We wachten al een tijdje op deze strijd,” zei Vadim Kornilov van World of Boxing. “Ik geloof met de wil, karakter, en de kracht van beide jongens, deze strijd wordt een kandidaat voor de strijd van het jaar.”

Er staat nog meer Wereldtitelactie op het programma als recordbrekende wereldkampioen met zeven gewichten Amanda Serrano daagt WBO-wereldkampioen vedergewicht Heather Hardy uit in een all-Brooklyn-affaire, aangeboden door DiBella Entertainment in samenwerking met Matchroom Boxing USA.

Serrano (36-1-1 27 KO) veroverde haar zevende gewichtsklasse in het Hulu Theater in titel in januari toen de Puerto Ricaanse Eva Voraberger in de openingsronde vernietigde om de vacante WBO Super-Flyweight-titel te claimen.

Serrano hield de WBO Featherweight-band vast 2016 voordat ze het verliet, kwam haar zus Cindy het later dat jaar ophalen. Hardy (22-0 4 KO) was de volgende in de rij om de vacante titel in oktober te winnen in een rematch tegen Shelley Vincent in het Hulu Theatre. Hardy zette het boksen in de wacht om in juni terug te keren naar MMA met een uitstapje naar Bellator 222 in Madison Square Garden, maar keert terug naar het boksen om het op te nemen tegen haar collega Brooklynite.

“We kwamen er in februari achter dat Amanda als superkampioen elke kampioen in elke gewichtsklasse kon roepen en dat zij de volgende verdediging zou zijn. — en ze koos mij. Ik ben niet zo ver gekomen in het boksspel om niet te weten hoe het werkt, ze zijn een groot gevecht aan het opzetten tussen haar en Katie Taylor en dit is de tweede van Amanda's deal met drie gevechten.

“Het zal mijn eerste keer zijn als een underdog, zelfs als de huidige wereldkampioen, maar ik ben zo opgewonden. Iedereen weet dat ik er de ballen voor heb. Ik ben opgegroeid met een stoere mamma, geloof me – niemand maakt me bang.”

“Ik ben erg opgewonden om weer in de ring te zijn en opgewonden om tegen Heather Hardy te vechten,” Said Serrano. “Heather is 22-0 voor een reden, ze vindt altijd een manier om te winnen. We hebben in het verleden sparren en ik heb nooit een gemakkelijke dag met haar gehad.

“Zoveel van de andere kampioenen lieten hun riem los om niet met mij te vechten, maar Heather is een echte wereldkampioen die haar riem niet zal opgeven.

“We kennen elkaar goed en ik voel me vereerd om met haar te vechten voor haar wereldtitel. Het is niet persoonlijk, gewoon zaken voor twee meisjes uit Brooklyn in de ring.”

“Op Vrijdag, September 13, zeven divisie wereldkampioen Amanda ‘The Real Deal’ Serrano zal proberen de WBO-vedergewichttitel te ontworstelen aan de ongeslagen kampioen Heather ‘The Heat’ Winterhard in wat een explosieve match-up belooft te worden,” zei Lou DiBella, Voorzitter van DiBella Entertainment. “Noch Hardy noch Serrano hebben ooit een slecht gevecht gehad, beide Brooklynites hebben gepassioneerde fans en zijn geweldige ambassadeurs voor het boksen van vrouwen. Dit is een gevecht dat je moet winnen voor beide boksers en het zal de show stelen.”

Het Heavyweight-landschap blijft een hete en er is een geweldige 50-50 botsing op de kaart als Michael Hunter Sergey Kuzmin uitdaagt voor de WBA Intercontinental-titel. Jager (17-1 12 KO) houdt de internationale band met de WBA met KO'd Alexander Ustinov in Monte Carlo in november en verdedigde dat met een tweede ronde KO van Fabio Maldonado in Maryland in mei. De 31 jaar oud stijgt snel in de ranglijst en kan een enorme sprong maken naar wereldtitelactie met een overwinning, maar staat voor een crunch-uitdaging in de vorm van Kuzmin (15-0 11 KO).

De ongeslagen Rus zet de band die hij in september in het Wembley Stadium in Londen won tegen David Price en zag eerst LaRon Mitchell en vervolgens Joey Dawejko af in succesvolle verdedigingen aan de Stateside.. Met Kuzmin gerangschikt #5 en Hunter #8 met de WBA, de winnaar in New York klopt op de deur voor een titelschot, het verhogen van de inzet in deze match-up, in samenwerking met World of Boxing.

“Ik ben opgewonden om tegen Sergey te vechten,” zei Hunter. “Ik weet dat dit geen gemakkelijk gevecht zal worden, maar ik ben zeker klaar voor de uitdaging en ik wil mensen laten zien dat ik de beste ben in de divisie.”

“Ik heb heel hard gewerkt voor deze kans,” zei Kuzmin. “Ik ben hier om deze strijd te winnen en de wereldtitel na te jagen. Het maakt mij niet uit of deze strijd in de VS of in Rusland plaatsvindt, Ik heb veel vertrouwen in mijn overwinning. Ik ken mijn tegenstander heel goed, hij is een goede bokser, maar slechts één van ons zal de overwinning behalen.”

“Dit is een gevecht tussen twee top tien prospects, beide hebben regionale titels,” zei Vadim Kornilov van World of Boxing. “Dit gevecht zal hopelijk een eliminator voor het WK verplicht zijn.”

“Dit is een schitterende show en een grote kans voor Devin om NYC stormenderhand te veroveren,” zei promotor Eddie Hearn. “Abdullaev is een gevaarlijke ongeslagen vechter, maar Devin is klaar voor alle nieuwkomers en wil deze strijd te winnen en ga dan recht in de Lomachenko vs. Campbell winnaar. Het is gek om te geloven dat hij is gewoon 20 jaar – Ik denk dat het eerlijk om te zeggen dat hij is de meest opwindende jonge vechter in de wereld op dit moment.

“Roman versus. Akhmadaliev is een absolute oorlog, Danny weigerde om de band te verlaten en als een ware kampioen zal een jonge onverschrokken gezicht, keiharde verplichte uitdager die neemt een enorme sprong na slechts zes gevechten.

“De zwaargewicht divisie is roodgloeiend en Hunter v Kuzmin misschien een van de wedstrijd ups van het jaar – niet knipperen op dit ene! We kunnen waarschijnlijk deze locatie met Serrano vs hebt ingevuld. Hardy alone, Het is een geweldig gevecht voor NYC en de winnaar is klaar voor een bepalend Katie Taylor-gevecht. Mis deze show niet!”

“We zijn verheugd om onze drukke herfstopstelling te beginnen met de terugkeer van blue-chip prospect Devin Haney op DAZN,” zei Joseph Markowski, DAZN EVP, Noord Amerika. “Matchroom heeft een gestapelde kaart samengesteld voor vechtfans uit New York en degenen die over de hele wereld kijken op DAZN. We bereiden ons voor om ons eerste jaar boksen met een knal af te sluiten en het begint allemaal in september 13 in het Hulu Theatre in Madison Square Garden.”

Een aankondiging over ticketprijzen en verkoopdata zal later deze week worden gedaan.

LONG ISLAND, NY (Augustus 4, 2018) – Voormalig wereldkampioen Andere Berto(32-5, 24 KO) won a back-and-forth fight by split decision Saturday night against fellow former champion Devon Alexander (27-4-1, 14 KO) in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX & FOX Deportes from NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

 

 

 

“I knew he was going to be quick and I knew he’d come to fight,” Said Berto. “I had to get adjusted to his speed a little bit and then I started pressing him. I felt like I was in better shape and quicker to the target than he was.”

 

 

 

Alexander struck first as his southpaw stance appeared to give Berto trouble early. Alexander connected with a series of powerful right hooks in round two before following up in round three with a straight right that landed on Berto and allowed Alexander to score a knockdown with follow-up hooks.

 

 

 

“We knew that we had enough power to hurt him and I felt like I was doing that early in the fight,” zei Alexander. “I slowed down in the middle of the fight, but there’s no excuses. We both came to fight.”

 

 

 

The bout saw numerous clashes and tie ups, but as the rounds went on Berto’s relentlessness allowed him to score against a tiring Alexander. Berto had success in the seventh round tagging Alexander on the inside as he began to break through his opponent’s defense.

 

 

 

“I’ve been off for a while but I felt good in there,” Said Berto. “He was pulling back on a lot of his punches so I stepped in for my combinations and made him pay.”

 

 

 

The back-and-forth fight concluded with both fighters slugging it out until the final bell and appearing to have worn each other down from the 12-round bout. The scores reflected the close nature of the bout as once judge scored it 114-113 for Alexander, but was overruled by two judges scoring the bout 115-112 for Berto.

 

 

 

“I thought I edged it out, but it was a close fight,” zei Alexander. “We’re climbing back still. This happens. I’m going to talk to my team and see what the best move is going forward.”

 

 

 

“This is a tremendous feeling,” Said Berto. “I’m looking forward to getting in there and doing it again.”

 

 

 

 

The co-main event on FOX and FOX Deportes saw former middleweight world champion Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin (34-1-1, 23 KO) earn a unanimous decision victory over J'Leon Liefde (24-2-1, 13 KO) na 10 rondes van super middengewicht actie.

 

 

 

“It was very important for me to go up in there and break his spirit,” Said Quillin. “I established my will in there, but I’ll wait to judge how I looked until I see the tape.”

 

 

 

Quillin’s power and punch output proved to be the difference as he focused on getting into range of Love while delivering power punches to back Love up. With his promoter, all-time great Floyd Mayweather, sitting ringside, Love focused on a strategy that saw him move throughout the 10 rounds while trying to build his offense off of his jab.

 

 

 

“Sometimes you don’t have your best night, but I’m far from done,” said Love. “I have a lot of good fights left in front of me. ik zal terug komen. I could have pressed a little bit more, but he’s a puncher. I wasn’t trying to turn it into a brawl. I went at him and then slid right out. That was the game plan.”

 

 

 

Round eight began with Quillin on the offensive as he pinned Love in the corner and unloaded a massive series of shots, many of which landed flush. Love was able to avoid any serious danger from the onslaught, but was never able to land anything that bothered Quillin over the remaining moments of the fight.

 

 

 

De rechters scoorde de wedstrijd 99-91 en 98-92 tweemaal, all in favor of Quillin.

 

 

 

“For people who think that I had ring rust, we’ve been in the gym training hard to be ready for a challenge like this,” Said Quillin. “We’re going to build from this and use it from a foundation. Only time will tell what comes next, but we’ll use this as a measuring stick.”

 

 

 

The opening bout on FOX and FOX Deportes featured former world champion Sergey Lipinets (14-1, 10 KO) as he earned a majority decision over Erick Bone (20-6, 8 KO) na 10 rounds of welterweight action.

 

 

 

“I always take a couple of rounds to figure the guy out, but once I loosened up I felt pretty good,” said Lipinets. “I loaded up on my punches a little more than I had to, but this fight was exactly what I needed to get myself ready for another big challenge soon.”

 

 

 

Both fighters spent most of the bout exchanging single power punches, with Lipinets showing off his superior power to bust open Bone’s nose in the early rounds and cause blood to pour from it throughout the rest of the fight.

 

 

 

Lipinets continued to throw power punches to the end, connecting with a left hook midway through the final frame that caused Bone to jump back toward the ropes. One judge scored the fight a 95-95 draw but was overruled by scores of 99-91 en 98-92.

 

 

 

 

“If anybody saw any flaws in my performance today, then they’re welcome to step up and come take the fight against me,” said Lipinets. “Everyone knows that I’m going to come and bring a great fight to whoever is in front of me”

 

 

 

Additional FOX and FOX Deportes action featured rising unbeaten prospect Joey Spencer (4-0, 4 KO) as he delivered a dominant second-round knockout over Bruce Lutchmedial (2-5, 2 KO) in their middleweight clash.

 

 

 

The 18-year-old former amateur standout first landed a series of body blows midway through round two that forced his opponent to take a knee. Spencer followed up with a combination to the head that put Lutchmedial down and forced referee Arthur Mercante to call off the bout at 2:59 van de tweede ronde.

 

 

 

“He was a little bit tougher than the other guys I’ve fought so far,” said Spencer. “I had to go down to the body after I realized in the first round that the head shots weren’t as effective. Eventually the body shots were too much for him.

 

 

 

“I just want to keep building my record, keep fighting better opponents and keep growing as a fighter. At the end of the day I want to fight for a title in the next few years.”

 

 

 

The main event on FS2 and FOX Deportes saw Marcus Browne (22-0, 16 KO) work through a mid-round knockdown on his way to a unanimous decision victory over Lenin Castillo (17-2-1, 12 KO) in hun 10-ronde licht zwaargewicht gevecht.

 

 

 

“I wasn’t consistent enough or as effective as I wanted to be tonight,” Said Browne. “I fought in spurts too much. I need to be more consistent to get the performance I want.

 

 

 

“The knockdown felt like a slip to me, maar dit is boksen. I just had to keep focus and move forward to get the win.”

 

 

 

The Staten Island-native Browne showed off his impressive speed and jab through the early rounds of the fight, keeping Castillo’s offense at bay. As the fight opened up in the middle rounds, Castillo caught Browne with a right hand during a wild exchange that knocked him off balance and caused him to hit the mat.

 

 

 

Browne was able to recover with ease and continued to show off his boxing skills throughout the remainder of the night, as Castillo was unable to replicate his round five success. The judges saw the fight for Browne by the scores of 97-92 en 98-91 tweemaal.

 

 

 

“I appreciated everyone who came out for me tonight,” Said Browne. “I’m ready to move on to the next challenge. I’m going to stay focused and be even better next time.”

 

 

 

Also on FS2 and FOX Deportes, voormalig wereldkampioen Luis Collazo (38-7, 20 KO) earned a majority decision victory over Bryant Perrella (15-2, 13 KO) in their 10-round welterweight showdown.

 

 

 

Perrella entered the ring with the reach and height advantage, but the veteran Collazo quickly strategized to walk through Perrella’s jab to deliver power punches. Collazo started to inflict damage beginning in rounds three and four when he had Perella stunned several times against the ropes.

 

 

 

“Perrella didn’t have much power, which allowed me to just stay on top of him and smother his punches,” Said Collazo. “I was able to play the aggressor and control the fight.”

 

 

 

Collazo had to continue to stalk the increasingly evasive Perrella, but was able to show off his impressive ring savvy by cutting off the ring to implement his offense. Collazo had Perrella hurt badly in the late rounds of the fight, but Perrella was able to show enough toughness and athleticism to see the final bell.

 

 

 

“I’ve had a lot of fights that prepared me for what I had to do tonight,” Said Collazo. “I felt strong in there, but I’ll know more once I look at the tape. I want one of the top welterweights next.”

 

 

 

The opening bout on FS2 and FOX Deportes saw rising unbeaten prospect Gary Antuanne Russell (7-0, 7 KO), younger brother of WBC Featherweight World Champion Gary Russell Jr., deliver a powerful first round knockout over Mexico’s Jose Esquivel (10-7, 2 KO).

 

 

 

Russell threw a right hook to the head and followed it up with a perfect left hook to Esquivel’s stomach that put his opponent down for good, with the official stoppage coming 25 seconden in de eerste ronde.

Here is what the participants had to say Thursday from The JetBlue Overlook at NYCB Live, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum:

 

ANDERE BERTO

 

 

 

“A lot of these people on this card have been guys I’ve been around since they were coming up. I’ve been in the game for a while and I’ve been cracking heads for a while.

 

 

 

“We had a tremendous training camp for this fight. I took time to rejuvenate myself and I’ve come back and gotten myself into great shape. I appreciate what Devon Alexander has been through, but he’s dealing with a different animal on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“I’ve pushed hard to give myself the best chance to win on Saturday. We’ve prepared for everything that we think Devon can bring. I’m physically and mentally prepared for a battle.

 

 

 

“I’m going to push Devon. I don’t think he’s fought any that brings what I do since he came back from his layoff. We’re going to see if he’s back. If he’s not ready, then I’m going to make it a long night for him.

 

 

 

“It’s all business on Saturday night. Ik kijk er echt naar uit. It’s going to be dynamite. It’s going to be a good time.”

 

Devon Alexander

 

 

 

“I’m thankful that I can continue to fight, build my legacy and do something I love. I’m grateful to be here and show off my talent. I’m still writing my legacy and Berto is just another stepping stone in my way. I have to get past him.

 

 

 

“We had a great training camp down in Florida. Coach Cunningham has prepared me as well as for any fight in my career. The focus and dedication we put into camp will all show in the ring on fight night.

 

 

 

“Andre Berto was a great champion and I definitely respect what he’s done in this sport. Both of us need this win badly though and I’m sure neither of us will look to take a step back on our way to a victory.

 

 

 

“I love being in New York. I always get a lot of love from the fans, and they’re definitely a passionate group of fans. I’m going to be ready for the bright lights on Saturday.

 

 

 

“I have to thank Berto for accepting the challenge. We go way back to the amateur days. Ik ben klaar voor de uitdaging. Everyone knows I will fight anybody. Het gaat om een ​​geweldig gevecht worden. There’s going to be fireworks.”

 

PETER Quillin

 

 

 

“I am more than ready for this fight. I have a lot of history with J’Leon Love. I’m going to be ready for him and it’s going to be a fight the fans won’t want to miss.

 

 

 

“I’m very blessed to be back in this position. Coach Sosa has really been a great gift for me. He’s helped me mentally and physically build on everything I had done with Virgil Hunter in the two years prior.

 

 

 

“Being back in New York definitely helps make me feel like I’ve made it back. I can be back in front of my fans, and most importantly my family, so that I can feel their support and let it carry me in the ring.

 

 

 

 

“We’ve worked on everything in camp and we’re ready to put on a show Saturday. I’m ready to show everyone that I still have what it takes to compete for a world title. This is something I’ve been looking forward to for a long time now.

 

JLEON LOVE

 

 

 

“I appreciate people coming out. I love coming to New York. This is a great card with so many great fighters and I’m grateful for the opportunity.

 

 

 

“I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. Kom in augustus 4, you will see me display my talent. I have nothing but respect for Peter Quillin, but this is why they call it the crossroads. We have to run into each other.

 

 

 

“I’m not worried about anything Peter has done in past fights. I’m prepared for the best Peter Quillin we’ve seen. He’s not going to catch me by surprise in there.

 

 

 

“I just have to be smart, listen to my corner and impose my game plan. I know that I have the skills to win and win convincingly. If I follow the game plan, I’m going to show everyone I’m ready for the best in the division.

 

 

 

“I’m excited to be back in New York. I’m planning on riding the energy from the crowd, whether it’s rooting against me or with me, and giving everyone something to remember.”

 

MARCUS BROWNE

 

 

 

“It’s been a while but I’m thankful to be back. I’m super ready to go in there on Saturday night and put on a show for you guys. I’m going to do what I do best, and keep my name in title contention.

 

 

 

“I know that my opponent is skilled and he’s going to be ready to try to upset me. But I’ve worked too hard in camp to let anyone walk into my home and beat me. It’s just not happening.

 

 

 

“I’ve made sure to just stay patient and know that my time is coming. I’m going to keep adding to my resume until there’s no one who can deny my shot.

 

 

 

“I’m trying to get this done impressively, but I’ll take the win however I can get it. At this point it’s about continuing to win so that I can keep myself at the top of the rankings. I want a world title shot and I’m ready for it.”

 

Luis Collazo

 

 

 

“Het is geweldig om hier te zijn. I want to give thanks for everyone who has helped me in the last 18 months while I recovered from my injury. It was hard, but it was a process I had to go to.

 

 

 

“My team has supported me through thick and thin no matter what I’ve been through. That included my dad, who originally brought me into the gym when I was a kid. This is just what I love to do.

 

 

 

“My opponent is young and desperate to put a name on his record. He’s got some skills that we’ve prepared for. I’m confident he doesn’t have anything I haven’t seen before.

 

 

 

“I’m ready to go to work on August 4. I’m going to give the fans a great fight and another night to remember with me in the ring.”

 

ALICIA NAPOLEON

 

 

 

“This is a big card with a lot of action and I’m proud to be on it. Hannah is a wonderful champion and this is going to be a great fight. This is a tremendous opportunity and we’re going to continue to push for better and better opportunities for female fighters.

 

 

 

 

“This is a fight you won’t want to miss. I’ve had a great camp and I’m prepared for another war. I won this title at Barclays Center in March and I can’t wait to see everyone out cheering for us on Saturday.

 

 

 

“It’s an honor to be fighting at home. I really take it to heart that there are young female fighters out there who watch me for inspiration. It helps motivate me and I believe it’s going to help me defend my title successfully on Saturday.”

 

HANNAH RANKIN

 

 

 

“It’s fantastic to be on such a great card. I’ve been looking for a big fight like this and it couldn’t have come at a better time for me.

 

 

 

“When I got the call for this fight I was obviously going to say yes. Camp has been amazing and I can’t wait to go in there on Saturday night and show everyone what I’m capable of.

 

 

 

“This is a worthy opponent and I’m glad that she accepted the challenge. I’ve come too far to leave New York without the championship belt.”

 

Lou DiBella, Voorzitter van DiBella Entertainment

 

 

 

“This should be a sensational show on Saturday, live on FOX and FOX Deportes beginning at 7:30 p.m. EN. There is also a terrific show that actually begins on FS2 and FOX Deportes at 5:30 p.m. EN. This is a loaded card from top to bottom, as you can see from the dais here. It features a number of the best fighters in the world.

 

 

 

“The main event features two men in Andre Berto and Devon Alexander who are both multiple time world champions, well known fighters and fighters who need this win. The recipe for a great fight is two terrific boxers who must win.

 

 

 

“The co-featured event is a similar bout. Peter Quillin and J’Leon Love are guys who are in the championship picture at 168-pounds. The reality is the winner of this fight will have a chance to fight for the title soon.

 

 

 

“There’s a women’s title fight on this card that features Long Island’s only boxing world champion, in Alicia Napoleon. She’s a popular local fighter who is going to make the first defense of her title on Saturday. She will fight the pride of Scotland, in Hannah Rankin, in what should be a great bout. These are two champions of the sport and we’re honored to have them in the ring Saturday.”

LONG ISLAND, NY (Augustus 1, 2018) – Former middleweight champion Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin and WBA Super Middleweight Women’s World Champion Alicia “The Empress” Napoleon visited Crestwood Day Camp Wednesday afternoon and hosted a motivational and fitness training session with over 200 campers.

Silva confident ahead of Saturday bout with Lopez

Laat een reactie achter
Silva.jpg

New Orleans, LA (Juli 12, 2018) – When lightweight William “Baby Face” Silva arrived in New Orleans yesterday afternoon, he stepped off the plane and raised both hands in the air.

 

 

 

Every time a plane lands in New Orleans, happy travelers throw their hands up in a pre-celebratory fashion of what’s to come during their time in the Big Easy. Silva’s pose however is one he expects to replicate Saturday evening after he defeats hot prospect Teofimo Lopez when the two face off at New Orleans’ Lakefront Arena.

 

 

 

Silva, 25-1 (14 KO's), completed an intense training camp under head trainer Jose Rodriguez in Plant City, FL. Originally from Brazil and now fighting out of Florida, Silva is cool, calm and confident heading into his bout with the highly touted 9-0 Lopez, who many consider one of boxing’s future stars.

 

 

 

“Everything was perfect in camp and this is the kind of opportunity I need to show everybody the fighter I truly am. Lopez is a talented boxer but I’ve got a big edge in experience and know what it’s like to be in a big fight. I’m ready or Saturday night and will do whatever is necessary to have my hand raised at the end of the fight.”

 

 

 

Silva’s promoter, Jody Caliguire of Fire Fist Boxing Promotions, immediately jumped at the opportunity for his fighter to challenge Lopez and anxiously awaits Saturday night.

 

 

 

“William needed a fight like this to get him to the level we know he’s capable of. Team Silva has respect for Teofimo Lopez and know he’s rated as one of the top young boxers but William is going to show the world that he’s among the best 135 pound fighters Saturday night.”

 

 

 

Promoted by Top Rank Inc. in association with DiBella Entertainment, Silva-Lopez fight is scheduled for 10 rounds and is for the WBC Continental Americas Lightweight title. It airs live ESPN and ESPN Deportes at 7 pm E.T. It precedes the WBC interim 140 pound championship matchup between champion Regis Prograis and Juan Jose Velasco.

DEADWOOD, S.D. (Maart 9, 2018) – Undefeated 140-pound contender Regis Prograis scored a sensational second-round knockout over former unified world champion Julius Indongo to capture the Interim WBC Super Lightweight title Vrijdag night on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION from Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, S.D.

 

 

 

 

Met de overwinning, PROGRAMMA'S (21-0, 18 KO) will now likely face the winner of next week’s Amir Imam (gerangschikt No. 1 WBC) and Jose Ramirez (gerangschikt No. 3 WBC) matchup for the currently vacant WBC world title belt. PROGRAMMA'S, van Houston bij wijze van New Orleans, was dominant from the opening bell and has now scored knockouts in 14 van zijn laatste 15 gevechten.

 

 

 

 

“I had to put on a show for SHOWTIME, for Deadwood, and for all my fans in Houston and New Orleans and just the whole division,"Zei Prograis. “I had to put on a show for everybody. I am now the man at 140.”

 

 

 

 

In the final seconds of the opening round, Prograis landed a fierce jab that knocked Indongo (22-2, 11 KO) to the canvas. In de tweede ronde, Prograis continued to attack the much taller Indongo, and floored him for the second time with a huge left hand. With a wobbly Indongo returning to his feet, Prograis continued the onslaught and immediately attacked his prone opponent and knocked him down for a third time in the fight. Referee Ian John-Lewis gave Indongo one more opportunity to remain in the fight, but Prograis ended it once and for all with a third knockdown in the round via a left hook and fourth in the fight at 2:54 of round number two.

 

 

 

 

Following the knockout, SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood spoke to the rising star in the wide-open and competitive 140-pound division. Farhood was especially impressed with Prograis, who was making his fifth SHOWTIME appearance.

 

 

 

 

“It was an awesome performance,” said the International Boxing Hall of Famer and noted boxing historian Farhood. “I was surprised he finished Indongo as quickly as he did and as emphatically as he did.

 

 

 

 

 

“I think now boxing fans know that this guy deserves to be rated among the top three or four in the 140-pound division. Because it was a such an emphatic win, all the other fights at 140, whether it’s morgen fight between Mikey Garcia and Lipinets, you got to feel like they have to answer to Regis. He deserves it.”

 

 

 

 

The WBC No. 2 ranked fighter at 140 pounds immediately turned his attention to a possible matchup with the winner of next week’s Imam-Ramirez matchup.

 

 

 

 

“I want the real title now, and I don’t think those two dudes will fight me after tonight,"Zei Prograis. “Indongo only had one loss to Terrence Crawford, the pound for pound best, and I stopped him a round before Crawford did. I don’t see anybody trying to fight me right now.”

 

 

 

 

 

In an IBF Junior Welterweight eliminator, Ivan Baranchyk (17-0, 11 KO) thrilled fans at The Deadwood Mountain Grand with his all-action style, stoppen Petr Petrov (38-6-2, 18 KO) bij 1:12 of round number eight.

 

 

 

 

Baranchyk, making his sixth appearance on SHOWTIME, was the much stronger, more aggressive fighter than his game but ultimately overmatched opponent, who showed commendable toughness and resiliency to stay in the fight. Baranchyk knocked Petrov to the canvas with the very first punch of the fight, and scored a second knockdown in the second round with a barrage of powerful punches.

 

 

 

 

With a bruised and battered Petrov trapped against the ropes in the eighth round, referee Mark Nelson stopped the fight. Met de overwinning, Baranchyk moves a step closer to becoming the mandatory challenger for the winner of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event on Saturday night between 140-pound IBF world titlist Sergey Lipinets and lightweight titleholder Mikey Garcia.

 

 

 

 

Baranchyk, who out-landed Petrov 159-118 in total punches and 94-76 in power punches, was pleased with the improvements he showcased tonight.

 

 

 

 

“I thought I fought a more controlled than in the past and something my new coach has been helping me with,” said Baranchyk, who is currently ranked No. 4 in the IBF 140-pound division. “I knew I had to keep punching to the body, punching to the body. And I did that well tonight.

 

 

 

 

“I was surprised they stopped the fight when they did. I felt like I won every round and controlled the fight. I knew I won the fight. It was a good fight for me.”

 

 

 

 

In de opening aanval van de uitzending, zwaargewicht vooruitzicht Junior Fa (14-0, 8 KO), van Auckland, Nieuw Zeeland, kept his unbeaten record intact with a majority decision victory over Detroit’s Craig Lewis (14-2-1, 8 KO). The judges scored the eight-round fight 76-76, 78-74, 79-73.

 

 

 

 

Fa, who twice beat fellow New Zealand native and current WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker in the amateurs, was the more active fighter against the 33-year-old former collegiate basketball player Lewis, who took the fight on just two weeks’ notice. Fa started the fight quickly, throwing a fight-high 53 punches in round one and a 24-13 lead in overall connects in the first two rounds. As the fight wore on, Fa’s pace slowed and Lewis was able to grow into the fight, out-landing Fa 50-45 in rounds five through eight, to close the overall gap to 82-81 in favor of Fa.

 

 

 

 

Fa, who made his SHOWTIME debut in November with a first-round knockout of Freddy Latham, was unhappy with his performance despite the win.

 

 

 

 

“I’m happy I was able to get the decision, but I wasn’t happy with my performance at all,” said Fa. “If I had to give myself a grade, it would be an F. I fought with too much emotion the first few rounds and that threw me off a little bit.

 

 

 

 

“I was pretty surprised with the one judge who saw it even. I saw him getting tired but I was just flat tonight. I can learn a lot from this fight and where I went wrong and what not to do in my next fight.”

 

 

 

 

Lewis felt that taking the fight on short notice played a role in the outcome.

 

 

 

 

“I needed a little more time to train as my conditioning fell off a bit towards the end,” said the former National Golden Gloves gold medalist Lewis. “But overall, I was happy with my performance, I thought it was probably a draw.”

 

 

 

 

In niet-televisie undercard actie, undefeated heavyweight prospect Trey Lippe Morrison (14-0, 14 KO), the son of former heavyweight world champion Tommy Morrison, gestopt Oswaldo Ortega (3-8, 1 KO) with a third-round (1:18) technical knockout in his first fight in 15 maanden since suffering a hand injury.

 

 

 

 

Ongeslagen 2016 United States Olympian Charles Conwell (7-0, 5 KO) earned a unanimous decision victory over Mexico’s Juan Jesus Rivera (28-20, 18 KO). The six-round junior middleweight bout was scored 60-53 on all three judges’ scorecards.

 

 

 

 

Vrijdag tripleheader will replay on Saturday, Maart 10, bij 5:30 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® en Showtime ANYTIME®.

 

 

 

 

Barry Tompkins called the action from ringside with Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. De uitvoerend producent was Gordon Hall. Richard Gaughan produceerde en Rick Phillips regisseerde.

PETR PETROV READY FOR ELIMINATION BOUT WITH IVAN BARANCHYK FRIDAY NIGHT ON SHOWTIME®

Laat een reactie achter

Showtime Boxing: SPECIAL EDITION Live At 10 p.m. EN/PT From Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, South Dakota
NEW YORK (Maart 8, 2018) – Despite taking the bout on less than five days’ kennisgeving, two-time world title challenger Petr Petrov is ready for his showdown with junior welterweight Ivan Baranchyk, deze vrijdag night on a Showtime Boxing: SPECIAL EDITION live op SHOW TIME(10 PM ET/PT)

Petrov, who has not fought in eleven months since dropping a decision to undefeated WBO Lightweight champion Terry Flanagan, was training for a return bout in his native Spain before getting the call last weekend after Anthony Yigit fell out of the fight with Baranchyk.
Petrov arrived at the Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, South Dakota, and he is confident going into this important fight.
“Ik voel me goed. I am always training, and was getting ready for a fight in a couple months in my native Spain, so I don’t find this to be a big deal to accept this fight on short notice,” Said Petrov.
What made it easy for him to take the fight, was the opportunity to fight for the number-2 position in the IBF.
“My goal is to be a world champion, and this fight gets me close to that. I don’t know anything about Baranchyk, but I know he has never fought anyone with my experience, and combined with being on the stages where I have competed will prove to be the distance op vrijdag nachts.”
The Baranchyk (16-0, 10 KO) vs. Petrov (38-5-2, 19 KO) bout is promoted by DiBella Entertainment, in association with Fight Promotions Inc., Holden Productions & Banner Promotions.

“Baranchyk and Petrov are both known for their all-action styles and are never in a bad fight. It is a tremendous addition to this card and I’m thrilled we were able to put the bout together on short notice. The fact that Petr was training for another fight once again made it possible to create a superior fight under difficult circumstances,”Zei Lou DiBella, Voorzitter van DiBella Entertainment. “New Zealand heavyweight prospect Junior Fa made a huge statement in his last appearance on SHOWTIME and he’ll look to keep that momentum going deze vrijdag at Deadwood Mountain Grand against the tough Craig Lewis.

Sporting a record of 38-5-2 met 19 KO, the 34-year-old Petrov, of Ryazan, Rusland, and based in Madrid, Spanje, will look to bounce back into the win column following a hotly contested 12-round decision loss to WBO Lightweight World Champion Terry Flanagan on April 8, 2017, in Manchester, Engeland.
