I sitt første forsvar siden dethroning Kell Brook på Showtime i mai i fjor, Spence (23-0, 20 KOs) ut bokset en tøff Peterson (35-4-1, 17 KOs) fra start til slutt, utstillingsvindu en rekke ferdigheter, fart og kraft. Kampen ble stoppet før starten av åttende runde etter Peterson-trener, Barry Hunter, kalt for stans.

 

 

 

Kampen spilles ut ligner på hvordan både jagerfly spådd, starter i en cagey taktisk affære før det omgjort til en aggressiv kamp i midten runder. To minutter inn i runde fem, Spence brukte et sviende venstre hook til å sende Peterson til lerretet (Klikk HERfor høydepunkt). The Washington, Likespenning. innfødte tilbake til sine føtter, og fortsatte å kjempe, men Spence viste seg å være for mye. Den 2012 US-. Olympian ut landet Peterson 161-45, under tilkobling på 49 prosent av hans makt slag å bare 31 prosent for Peterson.

 

 

 

Etter kampen Spence snakket med Showtime Sports reporter Jim Gray og var rask til å gi kreditt til sin motstander. “Jeg vil takke Lamont,"Han sa. “Mange av gutta slått ned kampen og han tok det som en ekte kriger, og jeg berømmer ham for det. He’s a tough fighter. He’s willing to die in there.” Click HER å se intervjuet høydepunkt.

 

 

 

Til tross for å tjene seieren i kommanderende mote, Spence mener fortsatt han har plass til å forbedre. “Jeg kan fortsatt forbedre mye på forsvar min,”Sa ubeseiret verdensmester. “Jeg må bare holde perfeksjonere mine ferdigheter og holde framdrift. Du kommer til å se en bedre Errol Spence neste gang jeg får i ringen.

 

 

 

“Alle vet at jeg har ventet på‘litt tid’Thurman,”Sa Spence, ser fremover til en mulig forening kamp med WBC og WBA weltervekt verdensmester Keith Thurman. "Siden jeg var 15-0 I’ve been calling this guy out and he keeps making excuses. La oss få det på. Han har to av beltene, og vi har begge store navn. Det er en enkel kamp for å gjøre, og jeg vil ha det.”

 

 

 

Peterson, som kjempet tappert mot yngre Spence, respektert avgjørelsen av sin trener til å stoppe kampen, “Hvis han ber meg om å kjempe en million mennesker, Jeg vil. Hvis han ber meg om å slutte. jeg skal stoppe. Jeg vil aldri spørsmålet hans avgjørelse. Jeg vet at han har mine beste interesser på hjertet.”

 

 

 

“Det var veldig vanskelig, men hvis du vet Lamont, du vet at han ikke hadde tenkt å gi opp,”Sa trener Barry Hunter. “Jeg måtte stoppe det. På slutten av dagen, dette er min sønn her. Det finnes ikke noe mer verdifullt enn hans velvære. Hvis det kommer til ham eller vinne, Jeg plukker ham. Jeg bryr meg om ham.”

 

 

Undefeated 135-pound world champion Robert påske (21-0, 14 KOs) earned a split decision victory over former world champion Javier Fortuna (33-2-1, 23 KOs) i co-hovedarrangementet av Showtime sendingen. Dommerne scoret bout 114-113, 113-114 og 115-112.

 

 

 

Back-og-tilbake bout så to dyktige krigere bo i lommen og ser til å gjøre skade fra innsiden. En andre runde punkt fradrag fra Fortuna viste seg kostbar når dominikanske ble advart og deretter straffet for å trykke påsken bak hodet. Uten ett poeng fradrag, kampen ville blitt scoret uavgjort. Mens påsken Jr. var litt travlere, Fortuna landet de mer kraftige slag. Påske Jr., som holdt en betydelig høyde fordel, ut landet Fortuna, tilkobling på 120 av 383 (31 prosent) kraft slag mens Fortuna koblet sammen i 113 av 441 (26 prosent).

 

 

 

“Det var en tøff kamp, han er en tidligere verdensmester for en grunn,”Påske fortalte Gray. “Vi har gjort det vanskelig å prøve å motvirke slag. Han var ikke kaster mye og det gjorde det vanskelig for meg å jage denne fyren rundt.

 

 

 

“Jeg kunne ikke få knockout, men vi fikk seieren, og det er alt som betyr noe. Jeg visste at han kom til å kjøre en gang han følte min makt. Han ønsket bare å fange og holde hele kampen.”

 

 

 

Ser fremover, Påske laget hans intensjoner klart som han søker forening kamper i nær fremtid, “Jeg ønsker å kjempe vinnere og forene disse belter. Kamper som dette er ikke i min game plan. Jeg er klar for Mikey Garcia og Jorge Linares å signere kontrakten.”

 

 

 

En misfornøyd Fortuna har også snakket med Grey, “Publikum vet hva som skjedde her. De buet fordi de vet at jeg vant denne kampen.

 

 

 

“Hvis han er en mann la oss kjempe igjen på 135-pounds,”Sa Fortuna, who failed to make weight on two attempts Fredag, noe som medførte at påsken i beltet ikke ville være på linje. “Jeg vil definitivt gjøre vekten. Jeg ville ikke gi meg selv nok tid til å trene.”

 

 

 

Ubeseiret lett tungvektskonkurrent Marcus Browne (21-0, 16 KOs) gjort kort prosess med Francy Ntetu (17-2, 4 KOs) i SHOWTIME Championship Boxing prelims handling, as he dropped and battered his opponent early to force referee Arthur Mercante to stop the bout at just 2:15 fra den første runden. Kjemper for sitt 12th time at the Barclays Center, den 27 år gamle Staten Island innfødte holdt sin plettfritt rekord intakt ved å utnytte sin mektige venstre hånd på overmatched Ntetu.

 

 

 

Browne etablert sin dominans fra start, landing en ren hand venstre som falt Ntetu halvveis i runden. Montreal, Québec opprinnelig var aldri i stand til å gjenvinne hans føtter og fant seg selv cornered mot tauene bare tretti sekunder senere. En kryssild av kraftige kombinasjoner landet på forsvars Ntetu forlot dommeren med lite annet valg enn å stoppe kampen med 45 sekunder igjen i rundt tall én.

 

 

 

“Vi jobbet for denne seieren. Han gikk inn i en sikker skutt og jeg gjorde ham betale,”Sa Browne. “Den overhand venstre fanget ham, og det var begynnelsen på slutten for ham. Jeg visste at han var såret.

 

 

 

“Jeg trenger en verden tittel skutt. Jeg er klar til å ta på noen av vinnere. Jeg har ikke noen preferanser. Jeg er glad jeg satt sammen en flott forestilling her på Barclays Center. Jeg kommer til å holde bedre før jeg virkelig blitt Mr. Barclays Center.”

 

 

 

kreditt, som flyttet opp mot lyset tungvekt divisjon for denne kampen, hadde en hard tid håndtere Browne kombinasjon av fart og kraft på vei til den andre tapet av sin pro karriere.

 

 

 

"[Browne] er meget eksplosiv, Gratulerer til ham,” Said Ntetu. “Han er rask, han er smart, og jeg hadde ikke forvente seg å være så eksplosiv. Han fikk meg med sin høyre hook og en rett venstre.

 

 

 

“Jeg var i nok form til å kjempe for 10 runder. Dette er ikke min vektklasse, men jeg ønsker ikke å lage unnskyldninger.”

 

 

 

I åpningen anfall av SHOWTIME MESTERSKAP BOXING prelims, ubeseiret Adam Kownacki (17-0, 14 KOs) delivered a brutal knockout of Iago Kiladze (26-2, 18 KOs) ved 2:08 of the sixth round of their heavyweight matchup. Kownacki, født i Lomza, Polen, men kjemper ut av Brooklyn, New York, hatt støtte fra sin hjemby mengden som han stadig hadde Kiladze ned.

 

 

 

Kownacki var mer aggressive og nøyaktige av de to jagerfly, landing 43 prosent av hans makt slag og 35 prosent av sine totale slag, sammenlignet med bare 30 prosent og 18 prosent, henholdsvis, for Kiladze. Til tross for en blodig nese som Kownacki led i første runde, den polske tungvekt begynte å helle den på og dekk Kiladze med en rekke uppercuts og en-to kombinasjoner i fjerde runde. Den actionfylte bout kom til slutt da Kownacki koblet på en kombinasjon av to uppercuts og en høyre hånd som sendte Kiladze på ryggen i det siste minuttet av den sjette runden. Etter en lamslått Kiladze tilbake til sine føtter, Dommeren Shada Murdaugh kalt kampen på forslag fra ringside lege.

 

 

 

“Jeg er så takknemlig til alle mine polske fans som kommer ut og gi meg som ekstra støtte”, sa Kownacki, som kjempet foran hundrevis av hans landsmenn. “Jeg kommer til å fortsette å kjempe for fansen og gi alle et flott show.

 

 

 

“Jeg tror jeg gjorde kampen mye vanskeligere enn jeg burde ha. Det er en annen erfaring og jeg fikk seieren. Det er alt som betyr noe."

 

 

 

Republikken Georgia-fødte Kiladze, som kjemper ut av Los Angeles, var ikke i stand til å snakke med media da han ble tatt til NYU Lutheran Hospital forsiktighetshensyn.

ERROL SPENCE JR.
“Denne kampen betyr alt for meg. I still have a chip on my shoulder. I want to be the last man standing. I want to beat the top fighters in my division. Lamont is the one standing in front of me, so it’s fight time.
I think it’s going to turn into a war. A lot of people have thought this would be an easy fight for me. But if you follow Lamont Peterson, you know this will be tough. He’s always in great shape and has a lot of skills. IT might be a dog fight and that’s what I wanted. He’s the guy who wanted to fight and I said of course. It’s going to be a rugged fight. Later on in the fights, he always gets rough and stands toe-to-toe.
There might not be a lot of talking and bad blood between us, but you know that the two of us always give a great fight for the fans.
I had to wait for my title defense and then I had a lot of guys not answer the call for this fight. I have a belt and I still have to call these other guys out. Lamont Peterson answered the call like a real fighter.
In a perfect world I’d be unifying with Keith Thurman this year. I’m going to fight three times this year though. You don’t get time back. I’m ready to strike now.
I’m just excited to fight. Jeg liker å slåss. I can’t wait to be in front of those bright lights in front of the fans. Brooklyn is a great place to fight and my family from the area can come see me live. I can’t wait to display my skills.
A true champion can’t fight everybody who calls them out, it’s still a business. But a true champion fights other champions, especially when they’re available. You can’t avoid questions and try to delay a fight. You fight the next champion that’s available, that’s what a true champion does.
LAMONT PETERSON
When I got into boxing, I had goals. First I wanted to be a National Champion, then a world champion as a professional, but the ultimate goal is to be in the Hall of Fame. With that being my goal, I wouldn’t put myself in that conversation yet. With wins over a guy like Errol Spence and the other top welterweights, I think I’m right there in it. That’s my goal and I’ll give it my all to get there.
If you left it to me I’d fight every month. That’s how much I love the sport. I know a victory would help me get in the ring even more often. Sometimes if you lose at the top level, other top guys don’t want to take a chance against you. I can fix all of that this weekend
I don’t worry about any negativity. My resume is written in the history books. All I can do is respect the opinion of others and work hard to get this win.
I’m excited and looking forward to the skill level that’s going to be displayed this weekend. It’s going to be a rough fight for sure. But I look forward to the technique and skill level. Defense, offense and transitioning between the two. That’s the part of boxing that I love.
Errol even taking the Kell Brook fight was impressive to me. Most guys in his position take their time leading up to the first title shot, but he ended up fighting someone in his prime in his country. To will himself to that win was very impressive.
When you get to the big stages and those big fights, you have to win more than you lose. I think if I can win some big fights these next few years my career will be in a good place.
ROBERT PÅSKE
I have no concerns fighting a southpaw. I made my last fight hard, but this time I’m going to use my reach, my feet and my speed to dominate.
I’m looking for a great performance. This is going to be the best Robert Easter the fans have ever seen. We prepared to dominate this fight.
Javier Fortuna is an accomplished fighter but I don’t know too much about him. I know what I came to do. I’m a world champion and everyone knows what I bring to the fight game. I won’t leave without my strap.
I’m ready to fight the best in this sport. I want to become the man at this weight and I know I have to beat the other champions to do that.
Boxing is all about showing you’re the best and fighting the best. I just want to fight these other champions in my weight class. I’m looking to stay healthy in 2018 and remain on top.
JAVIER FORTUNA
I have no excuses on Januar 20. I hope he doesn’t either. I will be taking that title to the Dominican Republic for my fans. I’ve been dreaming about it and I will take it.
I have the style and the skills to beat Robert Easter. I know how to make sure his height does not affect me at all. Everyone will see it on fight night.
I’ve prepared myself very well. I have a plan to win every round. If he’s able to stand there, I’m going to break him down round by round.
I am fighting for more than just myself and that is why I’ll be successful. I am going to prove that I’m truly one of the top fighters in the sport.
Robert Easter is a fighter I respect, but I believe I can defeat anyone in front of me. If he takes me lightly, it will go even worse for him. I’ve been training hard to make sure I’m at my absolute best on fight night.
A win would be great for my country, my fans and my family. Winning this title is everything for me. That’s why I’m here and I will not be stopped.
DERRICK JAMES, Spence Trainer
I started training Errol about nine years ago but I never really knew just how special he was until about a year or so into our training. I thought Olympics were definitely possible, because I didn’t want to look too far ahead. Now that we’re here, I think he can beat any of the top guys. I want him to be undisputed welterweight champion just like he wants to be.
I never worry about comparing Errol to other guys in the sport. He’s a hard puncher who breaks ribs and breaks faces. The longer the fight goes, the more pain he inflicts. I’ve never seen anybody who punches that hard.
I think Lamont knew when he moved up to welterweight that this fight would be a possibility. It’s time for us to go to work because I know Lamont and Barry Hunter are working on a game plan. They have a great team and I know Lamont will be ready for what we bring.
BARRY HUNTER, Petersons Trainer
We stay in the gym all the time. We didn’t have to deal with the weight monster this camp. Weight issue can really derail a camp leading up to a fight of this magnitude. We didn’t have to deal with any of that.
There are several different things in Errol’s arsenal that I think we can exploit. Errol will make adjustments though, so I think strategy will be a key in this fight.
Lamont has always been a coach’s dream. He’s the type of athlete that you would love to coach. He does everything a coach asks of him. He will train until he passes out. All he wants is to work hard and compete.
LOU DiBella, President i DiBella Entertainment
This is a great night for boxing. The first January date of the year drums up a lot of excitement and we expect a great turnout på lørdag natt på Barclays Center. It’s going to be a great crowd and an exciting night from top to bottom.
“Errol Spence Jr. is one of the best young fighters in the world testing himself against another great fighter in Lamont Peterson It’s the best fighting the best. Lamont Peterson is a guy with a tremendous resume. If anybody thinks Errol is going to take Lamont lightly, they’re mistaken and he would be too.
Both of these main event fighters are lucky to have trainers who are real teachers. They are old school and two of the best. Derrick James and Barry Hunter know the game inside and out.
Robert Easter is a beast, he’s got reach, power and boxing ability. He’s facing a guy in Javier Fortuna who is a confident former world champion. Javier has been talking a big game. He’s talking about knockouts. You want to see a guy come into a fight like this with that kind of confidence.
This year in boxing is starting out just like last year started, at Barclays Center with a great, even matchup like Badou Jack vs. James DeGale last year.
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Konserndirektør & General Manager, Showtime Sports
In terms of representing the sport, you don’t get any better than Errol Spence Jr. and Lamont Peterson. The professionalism of these guys is unmatched and they represent the best of the sport. I’m proud to have them on the network.
You can’t play boxing. You have to be dedicated and passionate. Those values are going to be reflected in the ring på lørdag.
This is a special fight. These are the best in the sport. They’re both top 10 gutta. Errol Spence Jr. has grown up on SHOWTIME.
He made his pro debut on ShoBox and won his first world title on SHOWTIME. This is Lamont’s eighth appearance on SHOWTIME and he has one of the strongest resumes in the sport.
Robert Easter and Javier Fortuna is another matchup of top 10 gutta. What we’re doing here is special. This isn’t just another network doing boxing, this is the cream of the crop.
BRETT YORMARK, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment
I’m really excited about Lørdag natt. We’ve been very fortunate to host the first big event of the year. There’s an appetite to get back into the game and we’re happy to be hosting it.
I want to welcome back Errol and Lamont to Barclays Center. Both have been there before and we’re thrilled to have you back. We’re pleased that Robert has finally decided to take his show to Barclays Center and give the fans a performance. Last time Javier won at Barclays Center he won his world title and we’re happy to have him back.
We’re going to create something great here in Brooklyn and it continues på lørdag night at Barclays Center.
