LANCASTER, TAL COMO. (Dezembro 16, 2017) – Former welterweight world championJessie Vargas (28-2, 10 KOs) returned to drop and defeat Aaron Herrera (24-8-1, 15 KOs)by unanimous decision in the main event of a special Sexta-feira night edition of Premier Boxing Champions TERÇA TOE-de-toe em FS1 e Boxe dos Campeões on FOX Deportes from Pioneer Event Center in Lancaster, Califórnia.
“I’m very happy to be back after a long layoff,” Disse Vargas. “It was a long time off and I felt the ring rust. I stayed patient and tried to stick to my distance. The inconsistencies affected me more than I thought it would and Herrera kept pushing the fight.
“I was setting him up and waiting for him to punch before attacking him. I expect more in my next performance and I’m disappointed I didn’t finish him, but a win is a win. We’ll get back to the drawing board. I showed I have the power with the knockdown, I just have to finish it off next time.”
Vargas was effective early and often, landing a strong lead left hook to the head of Herrera at the end of round one before controlling the second round with series of combinations. Herrera slowly increased his output as the fight went on, but was never able to slow down the attack of Vargas.
Midway through round six, Vargas sent Herrera to the canvas with a left hook that initially stunned him and a combination that put him down. Herrera rose to the canvas but continued to be picked apart by the skilled and composed Vargas.
“I felt relaxed in the ring,” Disse Vargas. “I was trying finish him with the hook. His head movement threw me off and kept him in the fight. We have to keep improving and look better in the next fight.”
Depois 10 rounds, Vargas earned a unanimous decision by the score of 100-89 three times in his first fight em 13 meses as he seeks another title in the welterweight division.
“I’m ready for anyone,” Disse Vargas. “I’m going to start preparing amanhã for anyone. I’m looking forward to facing Keith Thurman, the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Lamont Peterson winner, or Danny Garcia. I’m back and I’m ready to stay busy and get back in the ring as soon as possible to reach my goals.”
The co-main event saw once-beaten welterweight Jamal James (22-1, 10 KOs) earn a third-round knockout over veteran contender Diego Chaves (26-3-1, 22 KOs) with a sensational left hook to the body that gave James the most impressive victory of his career to date.
James used his jab and significant height advantage from the outset in an attempt to set up combinations, while Chaves looked to attack the body and close the distance. Both fighters traded attacks early, but it was James who broke through first with a barrage in the third round.
After stunning Chaves with a right hand, James went on the attack as his opponent stopped throwing punches. He took full advantage of the opportunity by perfectly placing the left hook to the body that sent Chaves down and eventually counted out by referee Tom Taylor.
In an action-packed super lightweight showdown, John Molina Jr. (30-7, 24 KOs) delivered a fourth round stoppage of John Redkach (20-3-1, 16 KOs) after both men hit the canvas in the first three rounds.
“Foi uma grande luta,” Disse Molina. “Eu estava um pouco enferrujado, but it’s not an excuse, Redkach was a really tough guy. We got the job done and never gave up. A fight is a fight, it’s not over until it’s over.”
Both men came out looking to throw power punches from the start, and it was Redkach who struck first, pinning Molina in the corner in round two before dropping him with a combination. Molina was able to drastically change the tide of the fight in round three fight a perfect right hand that landed flush as Redkach was already off balance and sent him to the canvas.
Redkach was able to survive the round, but Molina connected again in round four with a right hand that stunned Redkach and a clubbing left hook that put him down again. This knockdown prompted referee Eddie Hernandez to wave off the bout 1:27 into the fourth round, giving Molina a big victory with his family watching ringside.
“You always dig deep with your family watching,” Disse Molina. “You never want to lose in front of your family. I’m always going to fight until the very end. I had a tough opponent in front of me but I did what I had to to get the victory.”
The opening bout of the telecast saw Wale Omotoso (27-3, 21 KOs) score a unanimous decision victory over Freddy Hernandez (34-9, 22 KOs) in a 10-round welterweight contest.
Hernandez had success early in the fight, hitting Omotoso with counter left hands consistently and using his range effectively. As the fight wore on Omotoso increased his pressure and broke through in round eight with a straight right hand that stunned Hernandez.
Omotoso was unable to score a knockdown, but had success throughout the final three rounds on his way to earning the decision by scores of 96-94, 97-93 e 100-90.

Vargas (27-2, 10 KOs) is returning to the ring for the first time em 13 mesesafter dropping a 12-round decision in a welterweight title defense against Manny Pacquiao on Nov. 5, 2016. The 28-year-old Vargas, who was born in Los Angeles and now lives in Las Vegas, won the welterweight title with a technical knockout victory over Sadam Ali on March 5, 2016. His only other loss came against former welterweight champion Timothy Bradley and he owns victories over the likes of Antonio DeMarco, Josesito Lopez, Aron Martinez and Wale Omotoso.
“Every fighter is dangerous and if I give Herrera the chance, he’ll knock my head off,” Disse Vargas. “But I come into every fight with bad intentions and I’m in a position where I know exactly what it takes to get where I want to go. I have a lot of opportunities ahead of me, mas primeiro, I have to show the fans that I’m back and look exciting while doing that. Herrera is going to give me his best, but I feel that I have the speed, the experience and the game plan to overcome anything he brings to the table.”
Herrera (33-7-1, 22 KOs) has already fought four times in 2017 including his most recent outing, a stoppage of Israel Toala in July. The 28-year-old from Merida, Yucatan, Mexico lost to Brandon Rios via knockout on Junho 11 in a FS1 and FOX Deportes main event at Pioneer Events Center, where he will face Vargas.
“I’m going against a really good fighter, but he doesn’t punch very hard,” Disse Herrera. “I will go bombs away from the first round. He can’t hurt me. I’m confident I will win this fight. Esta é uma grande oportunidade para mim. I’ve got to start faster than I did against Brandon Rios and I can’t take anything for granted. The fans will get a great fight and definitely be winners on fight night.”
Chaves (26-2-1, 22 KOs) is a tough veteran who has faced some of this generation’s best welterweights, including current unified welterweight champion Keith Thurman. The 31-year-old from Buenos Aires, Argentina, has won three straight fights since battling to a draw against former welterweight champion Timothy Bradley in 2014 including his most recent triumph, a knockout victory over Jean Carlos Prada on Junho 17.
James (21-1, 9 KOs) is on the comeback trail after suffering the first loss of his career to Yordenis Ugas via unanimous decision on Aug. 12, 2016. The 29-year-old James of Minneapolis, Minnesota bounced back from that loss with a unanimous decision victory over Jo Jo Dan on Julho 15. James has fought on FS1 and FOX Deportes his last four times in the ring and has recorded three wins in that stretch. Chaves represents a major challenge for James in his attempt to climb the welterweight ladder as he looks to add another name to his list of victories that includes Wale Omotoso, Javier Molina and Juan Carlo Abreu.
Redk (20-3-1, 16 KOs) and Molina (29-7, 23 KOs) are both coming off losses and will look to go through each other to regain top contender status. The 31-year-old Redkach, who was born in Ukraine and now lives in Los Angeles, is coming off a split decision loss in a FS1 and FOX Deportes main event to Argenis Mendez in his last fight on Maio 2. Molina, 34, had one of the best performance of his career in June 2016 when he defeated Ruslan Provodnikov by unanimous decision.

"Estou muito feliz que minha luta com Chaves vai ser mostrado em os EUA", disse Brook, who hails from Sheffield and will be the favorite in this fight. “I was thrilled when I saw my name in the top 10 da lista pound-for-pound na revista The Ring, e agora é a hora que eu preciso para mostrar aos fãs em os EUA. que eu sou um lutador imperdível.

 

"Chaves é um boxer todo-ação que sempre vem para lutar, e que é o estilo perfeito para mim a brilhar em outubro. 24. I look forward to putting on an explosive performance and making the U.S. levantar-se e tomar nota que eu sou o melhor meio-médio do mundo. "

 

"Sabemos Brook é um lutador muito duro, muito técnico,", Disse Diego Chaves. "Mas ele não é um lutador rápido e ele é facilmente incomodado por socos no corpo, which is one of our strengths. I believe he has problems going backwards, e nós estamos indo para testar seu poder de perfuração, muito.

 

"Eu sinto que minha confiança cresce com este desafio, knowing that I will have to face a champion like Kell Brook in his home country in England. This raises the stakes for me, going up there as an Argentine and as a huge underdog. We know all the bad blood that exists between Argentina and England and this will give me much more strength. I will make history if I defeat an Englishman in his own country.”

 

"Estamos entusiasmados por estar de volta no negócio com Kell Brook, Matchroom Boxe e Eddie Hearn e entregar este confronto emocionante de topo 10 Welterweights ao U.S. público,", Disse Stephen Espinoza, Vice-Presidente Executivo e Gerente Geral da Showtime Sports. “Kell won the world title on SHOWTIME in an action-packed victory over Shawn Porter last fall, estabelecendo-se como um dos melhores welterweights do mundo - mas Diego Chaves é um lutador resistente que também provou que ele pode competir com a elite da divisão ".

Brook aims for a similar result against the veteran Chaves, que tem enfrentado alguns dos melhores lutadores na divisão de £ 147.

 

Chaves (23-2-1, 19 KOs), de Buenos Aires, Argentina, tem sido um guerreiro da estrada em lutas recentes, facing favored Americans on the road in three of his last four bouts. He challenged 147-pound titlist Keith Thurman em julho 2013 e, depois de vencer por nocaute em uma cidade natal lutar na Argentina, estava à frente em decisão dos juízes contra Brandon Riosem agosto 2014 until he was disqualified for an intentional elbow to the face.
