Боротьба з Манаті, Пуерто-Ріко, Родрігес(21-2, 13 КО) переміг раніше непереможеного Гері Антоніо Рассела в жовтні минулого року технічним рішенням, щоб повернути себе в положення для боротьби за титул чемпіона світу. Спочатку 30-річний гравець виграв титул чемпіона світу за версією IBF у легшій вазі, перемігши одноголосним рішенням суддів над Полом Батлером у 2018 і успішно захистив його проти тоді ще непереможного Джейсона Молоні. Родрігес програв титул колишньому беззаперечному чемпіону Наойя Іноуе в травні 2019 титульний бій.

«Я щасливий, що маю шанс знову стати чемпіоном світу,– сказав Родрігес. «Ми збираємося виграти вражаючим способом, і моя мета — показати, що я найкращий боєць у світі у вазі 118 фунтів.. Моя мета - стати незаперечним у легшій вазі, однак я не випускаю з уваги Мелвіна Лопеса, тому що він хороший боєць і прийде, щоб викластися на повну 12 серпня».

25-річний Лопес (29-1, 19 КО) виграв вісім боїв поспіль після того, як зазнав своєї єдиної поразки в кар'єрі в жовтні 2019. Родом з Нікарагуа, а зараз бореться з Маямі, Відтоді Лопес бився професійно 2015 і почав змагатися в США 2018. Лопес здобув три перемоги 2022, почавши рік з нокаутів Хуана Габріеля Медіни та Віктора Руїса, до останньої перемоги над Хобертом Альваресом у грудні минулого року. Зі свого останнього 10 перемоги, Лопес подолав дев'ять із них на дистанції.

«Я дуже радий, що майже настав час битися за титул чемпіона світу,"Сказав Лопес. «У нас був чудовий тренувальний табір, і всі жертвували та наполегливо працювали, щоб ми показали себе найкращими в серпні. 12. Я збираюся показати всім, чому я заслужив цю можливість, і відплатити своїй команді за всі їхні зусилля. Я дуже поважаю Еммануеля, але кум підніме руку, коли ми поділимо перстень».


Боротьба з його рідного Капітол-Хайтс, Md., Рассел (16-0, 16 КО) продовжить спадок, залишений його покійним батьком Гарі старшим. Член однієї з видатних сімей бійцівського спорту, Рассел тренується разом зі своїми старшими братами, колишній чемпіон WBC у напівлегкій вазі Гарі мл. і суперник у легшій вазі Гарі Антоніо. 26-річний гравець ще не дозволив супернику дійти до фіналу після того, як став професіоналом 2017 після того, як він представляв США. в Ріо 2016 Літні Олімпійські ігри. Рассел переміг своїх найзапекліших ворогів на сьогоднішній день 2022, зупинивши колишнього чемпіона Віктора Постола в лютому перед перемогою технічним нокаутом проти колишнього чемпіона двох дивізіонів Рансеса Бартелемі в липні.

«Коли ти вивчаєш гру, як я, Ви повинні враховувати, що кожен наш крок — це щось більше, ніж самозадоволення. Ми робимо це назавжди,– сказав Рассел. «Кент Круз повинен наздогнати мене, але мені не потрібно озиратися назад. Єдиний напрямок, у якому я рухаюся, — це вперед, а це означає вражаючу гру в серпні 12, і довести, що я наступний чемпіон світу в цій категорії».

30-річний Круз (16-0-3, 10 КО) повертається на ринг після двох нічиїх проти непереможного Енріко Гогохії в лютому, а потім і в листопаді 2022. Уродженець св. Луїс, Мо, Круз переміг ветеранів Еріка Умберто Кастільо та Тревіса Гартмана після нічиї проти Карлоса Мохамеда Родрігеса у квітні 2018. У серпні Круз повідомить про свою минулу історію рингу з родиною Рассел 12, прагнучи помститися за програш Гері Аллану Расселу серед любителів, Старший брат Гарі Антуанна.

«Я дуже радий цьому бою 12 серпня», — сказав Круз. «Я чекав такого бою всю свою кар'єру, тому ми не вагалися, коли нам запропонували це. Я вступаю як аутсайдер, і це те, що мене підживлює. Я був аутсайдером все своє життя і в серпні 12 Я шокую світ. Коли я виграю цей бій, Я змагатимусь за титул чемпіона світу і матиму шанс здійснити свою дитячу мрію».

Всього в 22 роки, Маршалл (8-0, 7 КО) швидко показав свою майстерність, сили та врівноваженості, щоб стати високо оціненою перспективою лише за вісім боїв. Народився в Ландовері, Md., і зараз бореться з Капітолійських висот, Md., Маршалла тренує колишній суперник Ендрю Каунсіл, і він уже зробив дві зупинки 2023. Нещодавно він домінував над ветераном-претендентом Джастіном Делоачем, нокаутувавши його в третьому раунді в березні, його найбільш вражаюча перемога на сьогодні.

«Я дуже радий битися вдома перед своєю родиною, друзями та шанувальниками 12 серпня», – сказав Маршалл. «Я щодня наполегливо працюю в тренажерному залі, щоб, коли настане вечір поєдинків, бути 100% і готовий показати чудову виставу для всіх, хто дивиться. Моя мета – показати всім, що я належу до великої сцени, і це починається з перемоги над Габріелем Местре».

Дворазовий олімпієць за свою батьківщину Венесуелу, Вчителі (5-0-1, 4 КО) мав великий аматорський пробіг, який включав перемоги над Браяном Кастано, Карлос Адамес, Олександр Беспутін, Оскар Моліна та Браян Себалло. 36-річний чоловік зробив свій U.S. дебютував суперечливою перемогою рішенням суддів над Мікалом Фоксом у серпні 2021 перед поєдинком з непереможним колегою Тарасом Шелестюком у нічию минулого березня. Зовсім недавно, Маестр переміг колишнього чемпіона двох дивізіонів Девона Олександра після трьох раундів у квітні.

«Я дуже готовий до цього бою проти Тревона Маршалла,– сказав маестр. «Ми зосереджені на роботі, яку нам потрібно докласти, щоб перемогти в серпні 12. Я зосереджений на тому, щоб підняти руку та показати гарне шоу. Ми хочемо залишити гарне враження у вболівальників і продовжити боротьбу з великими іменами в напівсередній вазі».

Карсон, КАЛИФОРНИЯ. (Серпня 14, 2021) – WBO Bantamweight World Champion John Riel Casimero defeated two-division champion Гільєрмо Рігондо to retain his title Saturday night live on SHOWTIME headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Каліфорнія.

A three-division world champion, Casimero (31-4, 21 КО) made his second successful title defense at 118-pounds, earning a career-best victory over the longtime 122-pound champion Rigondeaux (20-2, 13 КО), who moved down to bantamweight in 2020.

“I’m excited to get the win,” said Casimero. “Rigondeaux is a good boxer and two-time Olympic gold medalist. I was worried, because he said he wouldn’t run, but he ran the whole time.”

The bout started with an eventful first round, in which it appeared for a moment that a Casimero left hook to the back of Rigondeaux’s head would lead to a knockdown, but referee Jerry Cantu ruled the moment a slip. During the exchange, Casimero threw several punches while Rigondeaux was on one knee, earning a warning from the referee.

From that point on, Rigondeaux remained steadfast to a defensive strategy that saw Casimero forced to chase his opponent around the ring. Тим часом, Casimero stayed dedicated to pushing forward, looking to slow Rigondeaux down with body shots to set up power shots to the head.

“My expectations were for a knockout,” said Casimero. “Me and all my fans wanted that. I did my best to knock him out, but he was just running and not fighting.”

Rigondeaux was content countering his charging opponent, doing a majority of his damage with variations of his dangerous left hand. In a bout with numerous close rounds, Casimero ended the fight with a narrow 47 для 44 edge in punches landed, у тому числі 41-28 tally in power punches.

Those power punches and sustained aggression proved to be enough for Casimero to hold onto his 118-pound title in the eyes of the judges, as scores of 117-111 і 116-112 overruled one judge’s 115-113 card in favor of Rigondeaux. While Rigondeaux disputed the decision, Casimero looked forward to potential unification clashes with WBC champion Nonito Donaire and WBA and IBF titleholder Naoya Inoue.

“Nobody wants to fight with me because I frustrate them in the ring,” said Rigondeaux. “I landed the punches that I needed to in order to win the fight tonight. This is how I win. I have these God-given skills and this is the way I display them. I’m a unique fighter. It’s my style and it’s the only one I know. You can see I’m still better than anyone else in the lighter weight classes and I’m going to keep fighting.”

“I had a three-fight plan,” said Casimero. “First was Rigondeaux, and I beat him. Next is Nonito Donaire and then finally Naoya Inoue.”

The co-main event saw rising contender Гері Расселл-Антоніо (18-0, 12 КО) і колишній чемпіон світу Еммануель Родрігес (19-2, 12 КО) fight to a no-decision just 16 seconds into the first round of their 118-pound matchup, after an accidental headbutt injured Rodriguez and ended the fight.

“It happens,– сказав Рассел. “I was looking to establish my jab and I tried to set up a hook, and he came in at the same time. It’s very disappointing.”

“I feel okay,– сказав Родрігес. “I’m a little frustrated after putting in all this work for the fight to end so quickly with nothing happening. With the headbutt, maybe if there was no blood, we would have been able to continue. But once I saw all the blood, I knew it was over.”

The crossroads battle for the Interim WBA Bantamweight Title was meant to offer Russell a chance to establish himself as a true title contender and give Rodriguez an opportunity to move one step closer to becoming a two-division champion. Rodriguez attempted to counter an incoming Russell attack, which led to the two southpaws clashing heads.

“I was actually in camp for about four months,– сказав Рассел. “I prepared great for this fight. I was really looking to broadcast my talents and show everyone what’s in my arsenal. На жаль, the headbutt happened.”

Rodriguez fell to the canvas immediately and was bleeding from his nose, prompting referee Sharon Sands to wave off the bout, which was ruled a no-decision.

“Звичайно, I would like to come right back,– сказав Рассел. “If he can do it, I want to get right back in there with Rodriguez.”

“I don’t want to lose the condition that I’m in,– сказав Родрігес. “I prepared really hard for this fight. As soon as the injury is fixed, I’ll be back in the ring and I’d like to fight Russell again.”

У першому бою, колишній чемпіон світу Rau'shee Уоррен (19-3, 5 КО) переважають Деміен Vazquez (16-3-1, 12 КО) on his way to a second-round stoppage in their bantamweight showdown. Warren scored his first knockout victory since 2015, after going the distance in his previous eight fights.

“I was trying to show them something different this time around,” said Warren. “I have always had the power, but this training camp was very different. I was sitting on my punches and working on something different. It worked in the ring.

“I always knew I had that power and I always knew I had that speed. It’s just about taking your time in the ring and letting them come. When I saw the opportunity, I went for it.”

A three-time U.S. Олімпієць, Warren came out fast in the first round, using his speed advantage to beat Vazquez to the punch, connecting with a right hand midway through the frame that scored the fight’s first knockdown. Vazquez was able to rise to his feet, but was sent to the canvas for a second time moments later by another sharp right hand from Warren.

Cincinnati’s Warren landed an astounding 22 з 39 power punches in that first round, and continued his dominance into the second. Warren perfectly timed a straight left hand that badly rocked Vazquez, forcing referee Ray Corona to jump in and halt the bout at 2:18 у другому турі.

“Next fight is a title fight,” said Warren. “I am the number one contender for the WBA. I want to thank my team for putting me in this position and pushing me. They know what kind of fighter I am. I am going to be champion. Next fight I am grabbing that title. Maybe I will fight the winner of the main event tonight (Рігондо проти. Casimero)."

SHOWTIME featured highlights from a non-televised fight that saw undefeated rising prospect Brandun Lee (23-0, 21 КО) keep his perfect record intact, as he notched his 13ї career first-round knockout with a sensational performance against Ezequiel Fernandez (28-5-1, 3 КО).

“Мій виступ був добре,- сказав Лі. “It could have been better. There’s always room for improvement. Зрештою,, we got the job done. I’m definitely ready for the next level. It’s only right for me to step up the competition. I’ll take on anybody who’s ready.”

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will replay Sunday, Серпня 15 на 9 a.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and Tuesday, Серпня 17 на 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME Extreme.

Here is what Rigondeaux had to say about training camp with Ronnie Shields and more:

On his upcoming matchup with John Riel Casimero: “It has been a very focused camp, and I have found inspiration watching the Olympics, and it has lit a spark in me. Winning two gold medals in my early years gives me added incentive to win this fight. I want to prove to the world that I am one of the best boxers ever, and that I have a lot left to give in this sport. I am confident that I am going to do that against the most avoided fighter in my weight class. Casimero is a dangerous fighter and a very powerful puncher, but I’m going to tame him with great boxing skills.”

On his recent training camp with coach Ronnie Shields: “Training in Texas with Ronnie Shields has been great and our energy working together is fantastic. Ronnie has had a lot of world champions, and has a very professional boxing gym, with a lot of world champions and fighters who are competing at the highest level of the sport. I am motivated to work hard, not just to reach my own goals, but by all the young fighters in the gym who are driven and focused. The atmosphere has brought something new out of me. I’m revived and feeling young again.”

On fighting for WBO world title: “It always feels good fighting for a world title, and I have had the WBO title before after I beat Nonito Donaire, but this time I’m going up against a hungry young lion. I am looking to capture another world title, and give another great fight that fans will talk about for years.”

On returning to the ring after a year-long layoff: "Я почуваюся добре. I think at this point in my career, all the time away from the ring helps. I know how to fight and I know how to train, the big thing is knowing how to recover, and not damage my body. I am doing a good job at staying sharp in the gym, but not over training. A win against Casimero will do wonders for my career.”

“I can’t wait to get back in the ring for this fight,” said Rodríguez. “Everyone knows what happened in my last fight against Gaballo. На цей раз, I’m not leaving it up to the judges. I’m going for the knockout and a statement victory.”

Кроляча садок (18-3, 4 КО) bounced back from a close decision loss in a world title fight against then unbeaten former champion Nordine Oubaali in January 2019 by earning decisions over Gilberto Mendoza and Sharone Carter. A southpaw from Cincinnati, Огайо, Warren won the WBA Bantamweight World Championship with a majority decision over Juan Carlos Payano in 2016 and lost the title the next year to Zhanat Zhakiyanov by split-decision. The 34-year-old became the first three-time Olympic boxer from the U.S. when he qualified for consecutive Olympic teams in 2004, 2008 і 2012.

“Vázquez is not the type of fighter that can compete with me,” said Warren. “When they sent me the name, I looked at one of his fights and 10 seconds was all I needed to see. I really want to face Rigondeaux, but I’m going to handle this and I’m going to wait until I get who I want to get. I’ve been sparring with a lot of top amateurs and that’s been keeping me sharp. They throw punches in bunches and they’re keeping me on my toes heading into August 14.”

The 24-year-old southpaw Vázquez (15-2-1, 7 КО) was born in Thornton, Col. and now fights out of Las Vegas. The younger brother of former two-time champion Israel Vázquez, he most recently lost to super bantamweight champion Brandon Figueroa last September after having previously scored a stoppage win over Alejandro Moreno in February of 2020. Vázquez turned pro in 2013 and reeled off 14 consecutive wins to begin his career in the paid ranks.

«Це чудова можливість для мене,” said Vázquez. “I turned pro at sixteen-years-old, so I took a much needed break after the Brandon Figueroa fight. Now I’m back and more ready than ever. I’m back fighting at bantamweight and that’s for sure the best weight for me going forward. I’m ready to show the world what I’m capable of. Це буде війна. Warren is a world class fighter, but if he thinks this is an easy fight, then he is totally mistaken and I’ll prove it on August 14.”

Ункасвілль, Коннектикут. – December 20, 2020 – Undefeated bantamweight Reymart Gaballo scored a controversial split-decision victory over former world champion Еммануель Родрігес in the main event of Saturday night’s SHOWTIMEBOXING: СПЕЦІАЛЬНЕ ВИДАННЯ від Mohegan Sun Arena в Ункасвіллі, Conn., у заході, представленому Прем'єр-чемпіоном боксу. З перемогою, Gaballo picked up the vacant interim WBC Bantamweight Title.

Saturday’s headliner in the last SHOWTIME BOXING event of 2020 was competitive from the opening bell. In only three of the twelve rounds were Rodriguez and Gaballo separated by more than three landed punches. Загальний, Gaballo (24-0, 20 КО) кинув 148 more punches than Rodriguez (19-2, 12 КО), but still managed to connect on 16 fewer power punches. The punches of the 28-year-old Rodriguez seemed to be cleaner, as he wobbled the Filipino Gaballo on more than one occasion. Однак, two of the judges favored Gaballo’s aggression over Rodriguez’s ring generalship.

SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 118-110 in favor of Rodriguez and SHOWTIME analyst and former world champion Raul Marquez was dismayed by the judges’ decision.

“There’s no way Gaballo could have won that fight,” said Marquez. “In the worst-case scenario, you could have maybe given him three rounds. I gave him no rounds.”

“I am very happy and blessed to win this belt,” said the 24-year-old Gaballo. “I was always moving forward and controlling the pace, so I thought it was a close fight that either of us could have won.

“I’m waiting for my team to tell me what they have planned for me next. I’m going to keep training hard so I’m always ready for the opportunity when it comes.”

“It was a good fight, but he only won about two or three rounds,– сказав Родрігес. “There were two punches from me for every punch he landed. He knows he lost. Everyone knows we won. My team told me to go out and keep boxing him in the late rounds. We knew he needed a knockout in the twelfth round. That was his only chance to win.”

У со-головній події, Philadelphia’s undefeated welterweight sensation Ярон Енніс (26-0, 24 КО) saw his impressive 16-fight knockout streak come to a disappointing end after an accidental headbutt in the first round caused a brutal cut to the forehead of his opponent, Chris van Heerden (28-2-1, 12 КО). Watch the clash of heads ОСЬ: https://twitter.com/ShowtimeBoxing/status/1340495823474442240

With only two minutes and thirty-nine seconds inside the ring to showcase his skills, Ennis was still able to flash glimpses of his championship potential as he landed 22 з 57 удари, 19 of them power shots as he appeared destined to stop the South African van Heerden and keep his KO streak alive before the clash of heads.

“Before the headbutt I had already cut him and I felt strong,” said a disappointed Ennis. “I knew he was ready to go. I feel like I’m getting better and better. Now I’ll just get back in the gym. As you could see from the first round, I was handling him easily. I feel like everyone is still sleeping on me, but I’m ready for anyone. Bring on the big names.”

У телеконвекторі, bantamweight contender Гері Расселл-Антоніо (18-0, 12 КО) kept his unblemished record intact with a technical decision victory over former world champion Хуан Карлос Паяно (21-5, 9 КО). After an accidental headbutt caused a bad cut to the left brow of Payano, referee David Fields stopped the fight after the sixth round at the advice of the ringside physician. The fight went to the scorecards, where Russell led on all three cards (58-56, 59-55, 59-55).

До травми, Russell and Payano were engaged in a scrappy brawl that saw multiple exchanges of power punches. In the closing seconds of the sixth, and ultimately final round, Russell caught Payano with a counter-shot that hurt Payano. Russell landed 86 з 243 punches while Payano landed just 58 з 268 удари.

Лас-Вегас (Листопад 24, 2019) – WBC в суперважкій вазі світу Deontay “Бронзовий бомбардувальник” Уайлдер continued his title reign with a one-punch knockout victory over Луїс “Кінг Конг” Ортіс in the seventh round of their rematch Saturday night that headlined a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Wilder made his 10ї consecutive successful title defense, tying him with Joe Louis, Мухаммед Алі, Майк Тайсон, Ларрі Холмс, Tommy Burns and Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko as the only heavyweight champions to achieve that feat.

У матчі-реванші їх епосу 2018 fight that saw Wilder rally back from nearly being stopped to knock out Ortiz in round 10, the fight again saw both men hold the momentum of the fight at different times.

Ortiz controlled much of the action of the fight as he sought to become the first Cuban heavyweight champion in history. Wilder was not very active in the early rounds, while Ortiz was able to effectively jab, move and throw overhand lefts to rack up rounds on the scorecard.

“With Ortiz, you can see why no other heavyweight wants to fight him,” сказав Вайлдер. “He’s very crafty, he moves strategically and his intellect is very high. I had to measure him in certain places.”

Much of Wilder’s attack throughout the first six rounds was centered on his jab and a sweeping left hook that didn’t seem to land cleanly until early in round seven. With the seventh round waning, Wilder used a feint and a straight right cross to put Ortiz down, the first time he had been hurt at all in the fight.

“I had to go in and out and finally I found my measurement,” сказав Вайлдер. “I saw the shot and I took it. My intellect is very high in the ring and no one gives me credit for me. I think I buzzed him with a left hook earlier in the round and I took it from there.”

While Ortiz was able to get to his feet, referee Kenny Bayless waived off the bout at 2:51 в сьомому раунді. Ortiz led on all three scorecards, by margins of 58-56 і 59-55 двічі. За Compubox, Ortiz out landed Wilder 35 для 34, з 28 для 17 advantage in power punches.

“This is boxing,” сказав Ортіз. “I said that one of us was going to get knocked out and it wasn’t going to go 12 раундів. I was clear headed when I hit the canvas. When I heard the referee say seven I was trying to get up, but I guess the count went a little quicker than I thought.

“This was a great fight and I thought I was clearly winning,” continued Ortiz. “I got caught with a big shot and I have to give Deontay Wilder a lot of credit. I knew my movement was giving him problems. I landed some big shots and I thought I had him hurt. I thought I was up by the count and could have continued.”

In the ring following the fight, Ortiz asserted that he will continue his quest for a heavyweight championship.

“Deontay showed great will and I’m not ashamed with my performance,” сказав Ортіз. “I know I can beat anyone in the heavyweight division. My career is not over. I’m going to work my way back into a big fight.”

Після бою, Wilder told FOX Sports’ Heidi Androl that his goal is to unify the heavyweight division and become undisputed champion.

“Наступний, we have Tyson Fury in the rematch,” said Wilder.” It’s scheduled for February, so we’ll see. Потім, I want unification. I want one champion, one face and one heavyweight champion – Deontay Уайлдер. The heavyweight division is too small, there should be one champion and it’s Deontay Wilder.”

У со-головній події, Лев “Землетрус” Санта-Крус (37-1-1, 19 КО) became a four-division world champion by capturing the WBA Super Featherweight with a unanimous decision over Мігель Флорес (24-3, 12 КО).

“Winning this title means the world to me,” сказав Санта-Крус. “This is all for the fans who support me. I didn’t feel myself today and didn’t perform the way I wanted to. I’m going to get back in the gym and get a big fight in 2020.”

The action began to heat up in round three, as Santa Cruz began to find a home for his straight right hand that would help him control much of the remainder of the fight. Flores adjusted and used more movement to try to counteract Santa Cruz’s aggression and also focused on countering those right hands with body shots.

“I’m glad I got the victory,” сказав Санта-Крус. “Miguel is a good fighter, he gave me a tough fight and he proved he’s not a pushover. We put on a great battle.”

“It was a good fight and I showed I belong at this level,” said Flores. “I just went 12 rounds with Leo Santa Cruz. It’s not an accomplishment in itself but I slowed down his pace. Як я вже говорив раніше, it’s not only about throwing punches, but it’s about ring IQ and I showed I have it.”

Despite Flores’ tactics, Santa Cruz was able to stay in control and frustrate his opponent. Flores was deducted a point by referee Tony Weeks in round eight due to excessive holding during the many exchanges.

Santa Cruz held the edge in punches landed at 253 для 222, while Flores threw more punches than Santa Cruz by a tally of 1024 для 907.

“It was a close fight and I didn’t think he was landing too much,” said Flores. “He was busy but he wasn’t landing too many shots. I landed cleaner harder shots but he was just busier.”

Flores continued to try to rough up Santa Cruz and accidentally hit him with a headbutt in the ninth round that opened up a cut over Santa Cruz’s left eye. The four-division champion was able to weather that cut and finished strong on his way to a unanimous decision by scores of 115-112 і 117-110 двічі. Watch highlights ОСЬ.

“I want to stay at 130,” сказав Санта-Крус. “We want the big fights in 2020. I want Gervonta Davis or Gary Russell Jr. I want to show the world I’m not scared of anybody.”

The pay-per-view also featured WBA Super Bantamweight Champion Брендон “The Heartbreaker” Фігероа (20-0-1, 15 КО) retaining his title with a split draw against former champion Липень Ceja (32-4-1, 28 КО) після 12 rounds of action.

“I think I did win the fight,” Саїд Фігероа. “He put on a lot of pressure, but I fought better in the early rounds and I finished strong.”

Figueroa started the fight in control, closing down the distance early and using his activity and combinations to take early control of the action. Ceja’s strategy early was to counter his charging opponent, but he soon picked up the aggression to not allow Figueroa’s offensive momentum to grow.

In the middle rounds, Ceja began taking control, landing the more powerful punches while Figueroa continued to come forward, but was not able to land anything that slowed Ceja’s offense. Watch highlights ОСЬ.

Figueroa was able to weather the storms in the middle rounds and make it to the late rounds where he again picked up the activity and body attack. He was able to bust Ceja’s lip throughout the action, causing it to swell and bleed.

The punch output was impressive from both fighters, with their 784 combined punches landed good for the fourth most in super bantamweight history, while their 2,811 punches thrown were the second highest, according to CompuBox. Figueroa earned a narrow 411 для 373 advantage in punches landed.

Після 12 раундів, судді’ Підсумки були 115-113 for Figueroa, 116-112 for Ceja and 114-114, which resulted in the split draw decision.

“This fight is for all of you fans who came here to see me,” said Ceja. “He was a man about it and he gave me the fight. I think I won, but I respect the judges’ рішення. I’ll definitely run it back in a rematch.”

Ceja was not able to win the title after failing to make the 122-pound limit at Friday’s weigh-in.

“I basically fought a person in a weight class above mine tonight,” Саїд Фігероа. “I’m pretty sure if he weighed 122, it wouldn’t even be a close fight. We have to run the rematch back but he better make the weight.”

The pay-per-view opener saw Mexico’s Едуардо Рамірес (23-2-3, 10 КО) deliver an impressive fourth-round TKO victory over previously unbeaten Leduan Бартелемі (15-1-1, 7 КО) in their featherweight rematch. Watch the highlightОСЬ

“I said before the fight, I wasn’t going to let it go to the judges,” said Ramirez. “The first fight wasn’t a draw. I worked very hard for this and it turned out how I wanted today. I felt his punching power. Він хороший боєць,. I came here to fight. Viva Mexico.”

The fight began tactically, with Barthelemy looking to use his reach advantage to work off of his jab, while Ramirez sought to work inside and deliver power punches. У трьох круглих, Ramirez began to break through Barthelemy’s defense with a series of hooks late in the round.

Ramirez continued to come forward in round four, pressing Barthelemy and finding additional cracks in his defense. Late in the round, Ramirez broke through with a glancing right hook that he followed up with a perfect straight left that put Barthelemy down.

While Barthelemy was able to get to his feet, referee Russell Mora waived off the bout at 2:59 of the fourth round. Ramirez held a 73 для 52 advantage in punches landed, у тому числі 27 in round three and 31 in round four.

“I’ve got no excuses,” Саїд-Бартельмі. “The better man won tonight. I had a great camp and I was feeling good. But when I got out there I wasn’t really feeling my best. I turned around to try to walk around and get my feet under me after the knockdown. I wasn’t trying to stop the fight or anything and I thought I could continue. Now I just have to live with it and come back.”

FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View Prelims on FS2 and FOX Deportes saw sensational 17-year-old prospect Vito Mielnicki молодший. (3-0, 3 КО) deliver a stoppage of Marklin Bailey (6-6, 4 КО) 2:31 into the second round of their welterweight affair.

Лео Санта Крус

“I’m only focused on my fight because I know that Miguel Flores is going to bring everything he has to try to win that title. There are a lot of great champions in this division but I can’t think of anything past Flores.

“I’m expecting a classic Mexico vs. Mexico brawl. Flores is from Michoacan and the people from there have a lot of heart and they leave everything in the ring. I’ve seen him do it. He throws to the body really well. He has a good uppercut too. So I know it’s going to be a tough fight.

“We always work hard in the gym so that we can throw a lot of punches in the fight. We want to put the pressure on and give the fans a great fight and take home the win.

“I train hard no matter who the opponent is. That’s the only thing I know how to do. So I don’t think about any let downs, only about winning the fight in front of me. I think this is a great opportunity to introduce myself to the division.

“I’m going to go in there and fight hard for 12 rounds or as long as it lasts. I’m going to be smart and make sure I get the win. But we also always want to give the fans a great show from start to finish.

“I feel really good right now. I think I’m going to be strong at that weight and have extra power in the ring on fight night. I don’t spend as much time in camp worrying about cutting weight so everything else will be better because of that. I’m going to be ready for everything Miguel Flores can bring.

“I want to win another title for my legacy and so I can continue to give fans great fights. This is a great opportunity so I’m going to go ahead and make the most of it.

“It’s great to be on this card with such an exciting main event. You know that Deontay Wilder can knock anyone out at any minute. The heavyweight division is really exciting right now and I know Wilder and Luis Ortiz are going to give everyone something to remember. I want to make an exciting fight too and steal the show. It’ll be hard to do, but I’m going to go out there and try to do it.”

The 22-year-old Figueroa (20-0, 15 КО) will look to make the first defense of his super bantamweight championship in his fourth fight of 2019. He knocked out Moises Flores in January on FS1 and won an interim super bantamweight title in April on FOX by stopping Yonfrez Parejo. Representing Weslaco, Техас, Брендон, the younger brother of former world champion Omar, has a seven-fight knockout streak that he brings into the ring on November 23, having most recently stopped Javier Nicolas Chacon with an exciting fourth-round knockout in an FS1 main event in August. He was subsequently elevated to full champion by the WBA.

“This is probably going to be the biggest test of my career in the first defense of my title against a solid fighter like Ceja,” Саїд Фігероа. “To be fighting on pay-per-view of the Wilder-Ortiz II undercard at MGM Grand is a dream come true. I’ve been working towards this moment my whole life. I attended Pacquiao vs. Thurman in July and the crowd was electric that night. I told myself while watching that fight ringside that I couldn’t wait to fight at MGM on a similar card, and now look at where we are. Ceja might have lost against Rigondeaux, but he put on a great fight and I know he’s going to come forward and brawl with me on November 23.”

Fighting out of Tlalnepantla, Мексика, Брова (32-4, 28 КО) will look to rebound from a loss to Guillermo Rigondeaux on FOX in June, when he was stopped in round eight while leading on all three judges’ системи показників. The 26-year-old knocked out Hugo Ruiz in 2015 to win an interim title before eventually being elevated to the full champion. While he lost the rematch to Ruiz, Ceja put together wins in two of his next three fights heading into the Rigondeaux bout.

“This is a great opportunity and I plan to win the world title again on November 23,” said Ceja. “I know what it takes to win and I will have the best training of my career for this fight. I hope Brandon Figueroa is prepared for fireworks. This title is coming back to Mexico for my country, my pride and my people.”

Нері (30-0, 24 КО) is a power puncher who has stopped his last 11 противники і 15 з його останніх 16. The 24-year-old southpaw from Tijuana, Mexico will be making his third appearance on a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View this year. He scored a dominant stoppage victory over McJoe Arroyo on the March event in Arlington, Texas and returned on the July 20 show to stop former champion Juan Carlos Payano. He scored a TKO victory over Shinsuke Yamanaka to win the bantamweight world title in 2018.

“I’m excited for another opportunity to perform on the biggest stage and show that I’m the best bantamweight in the world,” said Nery. “Rodríguez is a tough competitor and he will help bring out my best on November 23. Mexico and Puerto Rico have a storied rivalry in this sport and I intend to make my mark in history with a spectacular win.”

The 27-year-old Rodríguez (19-1, 12 КО) will also look to put himself back in position to reclaim a 118-pound belt with a statement win on November 23. Fighting out of Vega Baja, Пуерто-Ріко, Rodríguez won the IBF Bantamweight World Title with a unanimous decision victory over Paul Butler in 2018 and defended it successfully against then-unbeaten Jason Moloney. He most recently was stopped by unbeaten champion Naoya Inoue in their May title bout.

“Switching opponents is no problem for me since we always train for different fighting styles,” said Rodríguez, who had previously been scheduled to face former champion Rau’shee Warren before Warren withdrew due to injury. “My Puerto Rican and Mexican people want to see a great fight and that’s what they will have on November 23. I know what Nery brings to the table and I’m ready for that. We are confident in victory and that in 2020 I will be crowned world champion again.”
