Each fight will be wrapped with brief context and commentary from SHOWTIME Sports ring announcer and International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Jimmy Lennon Jr.

 

Below is the schedule of SHOWTIME EXTREME premieres for the month of April:

  • Dydd Iau, Ebrill 7: Jorge Castro vs. John David Jackson I
  • Dydd Iau, Ebrill 14: Lucas Matthysse vs. John Molina Jr.
  • Dydd Iau, Ebrill 21: Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo I
  • Dydd Iau, Ebrill 28: Paulie Ayala vs. Johnny Tapia I

 

Castro-Jackson I (Rhagfyr. 10, 1994, Castro KO 9) –Castro, thoroughly battered, bloodied and losing by a wide margin, rallies from the absolute brink of defeat to score three knockdowns in the ninth round to overcome Jackson in one of the most dramatic turnarounds ever.

 

Ayala-Tapia I (Mehefin 26, 1999, Ayala W 12) – In some of the fiercest two-way action in the history of Las Vegas boxing, southpaw Ayala hands Tapia his first professional loss in 49 fights and captures the WBA bantamweight title by the scores of 115-114 ac 116-113 ddwywaith. Game On: As the boxers were being announced, Tapia walked across the ring and shoved Ayala causing a momentary skirmish.

 

Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo I (Mai 7, 2005, Corrales TKO 10)After nine intense, back-and-forth rounds, Corrales accomplishes the unthinkable, miraculously regrouping from dau knockdowns in the 10fed to stop Castillo in the same round (2:06) and etch his spot in boxing lore. After managing to beat the count (and lose a point for excessive spitting out of the mouthpiece), Corrales got Castillo on the ropes and connected with a huge right hand. He continued to unload and Castillo got nailed with a bundle of vicious punches. Munudau yn ddiweddarach, the ref stopped it.

 

Lucas Matthysse-John Molina Jr. (Ebrill 26, 2014, Matthysse KO 11)Abloody slugfest, in which both fighters were knocked down multiple times,became an instant classic. Matthysse who went down in the second and fifth rounds, came back with a late-fight onslaught to wear down and drop Molina in the eighth, 10fed ac 11fed rowndiau. The tremendous brawl was as brutal as it was exciting and more compelling to witness than anyone could have imagined.
