La trasmissione televisiva in pay-per-view inizia alle 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT e presenta un emozionante contendente leggero Isacco "Pitbull" Cruz affrontando il veterano ex campione del mondo Yuriorkis Gamboa nell'evento co-principale da 10 round.

La formazione include anche imbattuti José Valenzuela combattendo l'ex campione del mondo Francisco "El Bandido" Vargas in un combattimento leggero di 10 round, più imbattuto Cody Crowley affronta un contendente veterano Josesito Lopez in un duello di 10 round di pesi welter all-action che dà il via alla trasmissione televisiva.

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, che è promosso da Promozioni TGB e Promozioni Man Down, sono ora in vendita e possono essere acquistati su SeatGeek.com, il Fornitore Ufficiale di Biglietteria di AT&Stadio T.

"Uno dei più grandi eventi dell'anno sarà caratterizzato da una meritata formazione pay-per-view undercard carica di abbinamenti consequenziali che sono pronti per offrire dramma e azione,"Ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “Isaac Cruz ha dimostrato contro Gervonta Davis di essere una star in divenire, e cercherà di mostrare ancora una volta quei talenti contro un abile avversario in Yuriorkis Gamboa. Di Più, un'altra stella nascente in Jose Valenzuela farà un passo avanti nella competizione contro l'ex campione Francisco Vargas, mentre Cody Crowley e Josesito Lopez porteranno entrambi i loro stili ad alto numero di ottani sul ring in quella che si configura come una resa dei conti "da non perdere" per aprire il carico di SHOWTIME PPV. "

Il 23enne Cruz (22-2-1, 15 KO) tornerà sul ring dopo aver abbandonato una decisione competitiva contro il campione di tre divisioni Gervonta Davis su SHOWTIME PPV a dicembre. Originario di Città del Messico, Cruz ha scalato la classifica dei pesi leggeri 2020, annunciando la sua presenza con un elettrizzante ko al primo turno sul veterano Diego Magdaleno in ottobre. Cruz lo ha seguito 2021 vincendo una decisione unanime sul Matías Romero precedentemente imbattuto a marzo e sconfiggendo l'ex campione Francisco Vargas con decisione a giugno. Dopo aver fatto il suo U.S. debutto a dicembre 2019, Cruz è rimasto imbattuto nei suoi successivi quattro periodi, appare su SHOWTIME® tre volte oltre a battere Magdaleno nel Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz SHOWTIME PPV undercard.

“Non vedo l'ora di tornare sul ring e di combattere ad AT&Stadio T,", Ha detto Cruz. “Amo i tifosi in Texas, mi danno sempre un supporto straordinario. Il mio promotore, Manny Pacquiao, ha combattuto ad AT&T Stadium prima e ha vinto entrambe le volte. Sono entusiasta di seguire le sue orme contro un ex campione molto affermato a Gamboa. Verrò per mostrare ai fan perché sono uno dei migliori pesi leggeri al mondo e per portare Gamboa in pensione il 16 aprile.

Gamboa (30-4, 18 KO) è un ex campione unificato dei pesi piuma, tenendo in mezzo i titoli IBF e WBA da 126 libbre 2009 e 2011. Originario di Guantanamo, Cuba, ora vive e si allena a Miami, Fla. Ha lasciato cadere una resa dei conti contro Terence Crawford in a 2014 Fight of the Year, prima di rimbalzare per vincere sette degli otto combattimenti. Quella corsa includeva vittorie sugli ex campioni del mondo Jason Sosa e Roman Martinez, rimettere Gamboa nella contesa per il titolo mondiale. Nei suoi ultimi due combattimenti, Gamboa ha abbandonato le gare contro gli attuali campioni del mondo dei pesi leggeri, perdere tramite 12th-round TKO a Gervonta Davis in 2019 e con decisione contro Devin Haney a novembre 2020.

“Vengo sempre sul ring per mostrare il mio talento e April 16 non sarà diverso,disse Gamboa. “È molto motivante trovarsi di fronte a un giovane, avversario forte come Isaac Cruz. Lo metterò alla prova e vedrò se riesce a resistere al mio potere. Vengo per vincere e fare una grande dichiarazione che ho ancora quello che serve per diventare di nuovo campione.

La 22enne Valenzuela (11-0, 7 KO) ora si allena come compagno di scuderia del due volte campione del mondo imbattuto David Benavidez mentre cerca di passare da potenziale cliente a contendente in 2022. Nato a Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Messico, Valenzuela è diventato professionista 2018 e ha guidato una serie di cinque round ad eliminazione diretta prima di guadagnare la sua prima decisione di 10 round in una vittoria su Deiner Berrio a settembre 2021. Valenzuela ha coronato il suo breakout 2021 nel mese di dicembre, dominando Austin Dulay sulla strada per un TKO nel quarto round.

“È un sogno diventato realtà essere ad alto rischio, carta impilata in questo modo,disse Valenzuela. “Ammiro e studio Spence da molto tempo, soprattutto perché siamo entrambi mancini. Io non vedo l'ora entrare nel ring. Non sto trascurando o sottovalutando Francisco Vargas in alcun modo. Mi aspetto fuochi d'artificio. C'è sempre una grande rissa quando due guerrieri messicani si scontrano, quindi so che i fan saranno deliziati da quello che vedranno il 16 aprile.

Combattendo da Città del Messico, Vargas (27-3-2, 19 KO) ha vinto un titolo di 130 libbre in 2015 sconfiggendo Takashi Miura in uno dei migliori combattimenti dell'anno. Il 37enne avrebbe combattuto contro Orlando Salido per un pareggio ricco di azione prima di perdere il titolo contro Miguel Berchelt in un'altra vicenda memorabile. Vargas in seguito sconfisse Stephen Smith e Rod Salka prima di perdere nella sua rivincita con Berchelt 2019. Più di recente, Vargas iniziò la campagna sui pesi leggeri, segnando vittorie consecutive su Ezequiel Aviles in 2019 e Otto Gamez dentro 2020, prima di abbandonare una decisione contro Isaac Cruz nel suo ultimo incontro a giugno 2021.

“È un onore essere su una carta così grande con così tanti grandi combattenti,"Ha detto Vargas. “Verrò preparato per questa lotta e pronto a lasciare il ring con una vittoria. So che Valenzuela cercherà di fare una dichiarazione, ma vengo a fare lo stesso. Come sempre, i fan possono aspettarsi una lotta tremenda dall'inizio alla fine".

In rappresentanza del suo nativo Ontario, Canada, Crowley (20-0, 9 KO) torna sul ring dopo un clamoroso debutto in SHOWTIME a dicembre 2021 che lo ha visto battere l'imbattuto in precedenza Kudratillo Abdukakhorov con decisione unanime. Crowley aveva già sconfitto Josh Torres a settembre 2020 seguente a 2019 corsa che lo ha visto vincere un titolo canadese dei pesi super welter con una decisione di 12 round su Stuart McLellan a febbraio prima di difendere con successo quel titolo con una decisione dominante su Mian Hussain in ottobre. Il 28enne è tornato a combattere negli Stati Uniti. per i suoi ultimi due combattimenti dopo che sette dei suoi primi otto incontri pro si sono svolti negli Stati Uniti.

“Dopo la mia vittoria a dicembre su SHOWTIME, Sono pronto ad accettare la prossima sfida nel mio viaggio per diventare campione mondiale dei pesi welter,disse Crowley. “Josesito Lopez è sempre un duro e porta in tavola uno stile emozionante. Purtroppo per lui, scoprirà cosa 20 i combattenti prima di lui hanno imparato, cioè che non mi verrà impedito di realizzare il mio destino. Voglio ringraziare il mio team per questa opportunità di mostrare le mie capacità, cuore e implacabilità su questa grande carta in casa dei Dallas Cowboys”.

Lopez (38-8, 21 KO) si è guadagnato il soprannome di "The Riverside Rocky" a causa del suo stile fallito sul ring. È intervenuto di fronte ad alcuni dei migliori pugili di questo sport, compresi i campioni Canelo Alvarez, Marcos Maidana, André Berto e Victor Ortiz. Il 37enne di Riverside, La California è sempre una dura sul ring, come notato dalla sua decisione a maggioranza ristretta sconfitta contro l'allora campione Keith Thurman 2019. Da quella perdita, Lopez ha messo insieme vittorie consecutive, sconfiggere Giovanni Molina, Jr. e Francisco Santana.

"Sono desideroso e molto motivato a fare un passo indietro sul ring e dimostrarmi uno dei migliori combattenti del mondo,"Ha detto Lopez. “Mi aspetto una dura sfida da Crowley e i fan possono aspettarsi di vedermi al meglio. Sono in ottima forma e pronto a mettere tutto in gioco. Sicuramente vorrai assicurarti di non perdere il mio incontro del 16 aprile.

LOS ANGELES (Agosto 4, 2021) – Eight-division world champion and Philippine Senator Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao held a media workout that streamed live on the Premier Boxing Champions YouTube channel Wednesday, as he prepares to take on unified WBC and IBF Welterweight World Champion Errol "La verità" Spence Jr. headlining a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View Saturday, Agosto 21 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The replay of the live streaming workout can be watched in its entirety QUI. Already a legend in the sport, Pacquiao seeks one more monumental win on August 21 to add to his first ballot Hall of Fame resume.

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, che è promossa da Promozioni TGB, MP Promotions and Man Down Promotions, sono in vendita ora e possono essere acquistati tramite t-mobilearena.com e axs.com.

Here is what Pacquiao, Freddie Roach and Buboy Fernandez had to say Wednesday:

Manny Pacquiao

“I’m expecting a good fight. Spence is an aggressive fighter and I know that we can create a lot of action in the ring for all of the fans watching. I have lots of advantages in this fight. My speed and power, along with my strategy and experience, are all advantages for me.

“I never imagined being at this point now, when I started my career. Especially to be here now and still fighting the best. It’s truly a gift that I’ve received.

“It’s been two years since I’ve been in the ring and it was good for me to have that rest. It helped my body and my mind a lot. Questa volta, I’m as excited as ever and feeling like I’m young again.

“I could have fought several easy opponents. I picked the best opponent because I want to add more to my legacy and accomplishments. I have to prove that I’m not done yet.

“We have a strategy that we know how to use against a southpaw. He wants to fight toe-to-toe and that’s going to be to my advantage. We’re prepared for anything. If he wants to use his reach advantage instead, we are ready.

“My family is so supportive of me, because they know that I want to fight and bring honor to my country. Contemporaneamente, I’m also here to show for myself that I can still do it at 42-years-old.

“This could be my last fight, or there could be more. Like I’ve always said, it’s one at a time. Dopo la lotta, I’ll talk about the plan and see if there’s another fight coming.

“I’m happy to have been doing this for so long with the same coaching staff. I know that they’re happy with my preparations for this fight. The fire in training is still there. It’s the same as it’s been these last 15 anni.

“I know my career will not last forever, that’s why I’m starting to help the young fighters in this sport who want to follow in my footsteps. It’s very important to me at this point in my career.”

Freddie Roach

“We took this fight because we think that Errol Spence Jr. is one of the best fighters out there. I’ve talked with Manny throughout the years and he’s always said that he wants to be the best at what he does. There’s no sense in getting in there with some popular fighter who’s no good. We want to fight the best. I congratulated Many when he chose to fight Errol.

“Being out of the ring for a little while can go either way with someone like Manny. The thing is, he’s working out all the time. He shows me everything that he’s up to when he’s in the Philippines and I just give him little adjustments. When he shows up here, he’s ready to go.

“He had probably his best sparring yesterday, we went ten rounds and he got two knockdowns. It was the old Manny Pacquiao from 10 anni fa. He’s not as big of a puncher usually at welterweight, but those knockdowns yesterday were a great boost for him.

“Spence is a good boxer, but he’s a very good puncher. We know that when we get inside, we have to be smart getting back outside. It has to be quick combinations and then out right away.

“I told Manny that knocking down Keith Thurman early gave him a lot of momentum in that fight and I’d like to see that again in this fight. He knows that he has to use his speed to do that. He understands completely what I want.

“Manny Pacquiao has always loved to fight southpaws. He understands how they work and what they want to do. That’s really one of the big reasons we took this fight.

“I think Manny is going to out box Spence. His footspeed is unbelievable and much better than his opponent’s. Spence follows you around and is heavy on his feet. He seems very set to the ground. Manny’s speed will overwhelm him. I’m really happy with the game plan so far.”

BUBOY FERNANDEZ

“I was very excited when I heard about this fight because Errol Spence Jr. è un grande combattente. I was only surprised because Manny hasn’t fought in two years. But I knew right away that this is going to be an exciting fight.

“Obviously there is a different Manny because of his age, but his mind is always on the sport. Before we arrived in the United States, we had already been sparring and training in the Philippines.

“The team has been very happy with Manny’s performance in camp. The conditioning is going perfectly and we just need to continue. This is going to be 100% Manny Pacquiao on August 21.

“I can’t decide if this is going to be Manny’s last fight. Only he can decide if he wants to continue his legacy or not. If it were up to me, I’d want him to fight one more time in the Philippines for his people. It’s all up to Manny though.

“I have respect for Errol Spence Jr. He’s a good fighter and a world champion. We know we can’t underestimate him. He’s an intelligent fighter, so we know Manny has to be 100%. I think this is going to end up being a great toe-to-toe fight.”

ERROL SPENCE JR. VS DANNY GARCIA VIRTUAL PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES

I have the same hunger now that I had before I won the titles,” Spence

We’re going to give it 110% and take these titles from him in his hometown,” Garcia

Ecco cosa hanno detto martedì i partecipanti alla conferenza stampa:

ERROL SPENCE JR.

I feel blessed and ready to go. I feel like I’m 100% fisicamente. We’ve been training hard and staying focused. I can’t wait to give my hometown fans something to cheer for when I defend my title against a great opponent.

I didn’t want any tune-up fights. I wanted someone who is tough and who could push me to the limit, so I can get back to being Errol Spence Jr. I’m going to give a great performance and hear ‘and still’ a dicembre 5.

I picked Danny Garcia so that I could rise to the occasion. I’m still the top dog in the division. Fighting Danny will show how great a fighter I am.

Danny’s dad gets me hyped up talking about his son coming forward, throwing a lot of punches and taking the belts from me. So I’ll be ready for whatever Danny brings to the ring. I’m not going to get into any head games like with Shawn Porter. I fought Shawn’s game and beat him at his own game. I know Angel wants me to stand there and brawl with Danny, but I’m going to do what I have to do to win the fight.

It’s up to me to make a big splash coming back from my car accident. Lesser opponents were for before I became champion. I finally got to the top, where I can fight the big names, so I’m not going backward. These are the guys I’ve wanted to fight forever.

I definitely learn more from Danny’s wins. He has a lot of great wins. You learn a lot from all different kinds of fights. I’m a student of the game and a fan of the sport. All I do anyway is watch boxing. So I’m very familiar with Danny’s wins and losses.

The accident just made me hungrier and even more focused. I have the same hunger now that I had before I won the title. I’m coming into camp much lighter and it’s helping me have an even better camp.

I’m the champ, e alla fine della giornata, I can just fight. When it gets down to the wire, I know how to dig down deep and come out on top.

It means everything to be fighting at home, especially with everyone going through the pandemic. I just want everyone who comes out to be safe and follow the protocols, and we’ll make it a great night.

DANNY GARCIA

Camp has been going great. My weight is good and I feel like we’re ahead of schedule. Now we’re just taking it one day at a time. I’m excited to be in this position to fight for the title again.

“A dicembre 5, no stone will be unturned. We’re going to give it 110% and take these titles from him in his hometown.

I’ve been an underdog my whole career. I’m used to playing that role. I just have to go in there and be myself. I have to believe in myself 100% and fight round by round. I’m going to show what a true champion is made of.

After the Garcia and Porter fights, I saw some holes in his game and I knew it would be a good opportunity to become champion again. These type of fights bring out the best in Danny Garcia. They give me the extra motivation that I need and that’s why I wanted it.

I thought Spence was the bigger and better man against Mikey Garcia. Mikey has great skills, but Errol had size and let his hands go. It made Mikey freeze, so he didn’t take any risks. He did land some good counterpunches, and those are the kind of things that I’m taking into consideration during this camp.

My job is to fight. I can’t go in there and worry about judges. They’re going to do what they do. My job is to put in the work in the gym so that I’m ready on fight night. I have to go in there and win rounds and win the fight.

I know that I’m a great fighter. I’ve been in these type of fights before. I know what I’m made of. As long as I’m mentally and physically at my best, nobody can beat me. I’m a dangerous man when I have this focus.

We’re taking this fight like Errol is 100%. We’re not banking on anything hindering him. We’re taking this as seriously as possible. We wanted this fight a long time ago, but we just had to stay focused. Now the fight is finally here and I feel like we’re going to have a great performance.

I believe that I do everything great. I can bang inside and box. That’s why I’m a three-time world champion. I’ve faced every style imaginable and I’ve come out on top.

DERRICK JAMES, Trainer di Spence

Training camp has been really good. We’ve been putting in the hard work since March. Everything is coming together leading up to December 5. We took our time and it was a gradual process getting to this point. He was already in shape by the time this camp started so we had a great head start.

Even when Errol was getting back into his rhythm, he was still looking good. But you could see the improvement day after day as he got more comfortable being back. Everyone will see on December 5 who Errol Spence Jr. really is.

It’s great to be able to fight at home against a fighter like Danny. Putting on a great performance will build Errol’s legend and his stock will continue to rise. Errol has always been able to handle fighting in front of his hometown fans. We love everything that the city brings us and we feed off that energy in the ring.

ANGEL GARCIA, Garcia’s Father & Allenatore

Everything has been perfect in camp. You can see how good he’s looking right now. Danny would be ready to go tomorrow if we had to. It’s going to be a great night for me and Danny. Not taking anything from anybody, but we’re coming to take those titles.

I never look at opponent’s tapes from past fights. We’re not going to learn anything from that. When I train Danny, I focus on Danny. All I know is how to make Danny better. We’re going to dictate the fight and be on top of Errol. We’re not going to fight like Mikey Garcia did and run all night.

“Questa volta, we’re not going to leave it in the judges’ mani. We chose to go fight him in Dallas. Danny made that call. Alla fine della giornata, Danny just has to go in there and do his thing.

TOM BROWN, Presidente di Promotions TGB

“Errol Spence Jr. vs. Danny Garcia is one of the most intriguing fights of this year and it is a fight that will determine who is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

This will be a tremendous night of boxing and it will be at the home of the best pro sports franchise in the world, AT&Stadio T. This is the perfect host for a matchup with two fighters in their prime, both ready to put their legacies on the line.

Spence is one of the most talked about fighters in the sport. Many consider him to be the best fighter in the world, and with good reason. He wants to be challenged and this is the type of fight that elevates our sport.

“Danny Garcia è un combattente ritorno al passato. He’s one of the most skilled and battle tested fighters in our sport. What he did at 140 libbre, before moving up, was simply amazing. Putting these two together will bring back memories of great welterweight battles of the past.

LOS ANGELES (Settembre 29, 2019) – Errol “La Verità” Spence Jr. (26-0, 21 KO) unified the IBF and WBC Welterweight World Titles Saturday night against two-time champion “Orario Dello Spettacolo” Shawn Porter (30-3-1,17 KO) in an action packed main event of a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles.

It feels good to win,” said Spence. “This is a lifetime dream. It shows hard work pays off. Thanks Shawn Porter, my whole team and all my Texas people for coming out.

The back and forth brawl immediately garnered well-deserved Fight of the Year conversation as the two welterweight champions traded power punches from the opening bell to the end. Porter showed his trademark aggressive style throughout the action, smothering Spence while throwing his own power punches.

Shawn Porter is a rough and awkward fighter,” said Spence. “I didn’t get off what I wanted to. He’s a true champion. He made it tough.

That left it up to Spence to weather the oncoming storm and find spots to land power punches of his own. Secondo Compubox, Spence landed 44% dei suoi pugni di potenza, a 25% from Porter.

He’s a strong kid,” disse Porter. “We both came in to do the job. I think I had a little more than what he expected, but he handled it. Congratulations to him and his team. We’re proud of what we did.

In quarto round, Porter had Spence in some trouble, as his power shots to the head and body put Spence on the defensive. The strategy from Porter stayed the same throughout, as Spence began to adjust and find a home for his offense, especially the sweeping left hook.

Round eight saw the action taken up to yet another level as Spence initially got the worst of one of the numerous exchanges, before settling in and responding enough to keep Porter at bay. The high-octane fight continued to entertain heading into the championship rounds with the fight up in the balance.

Spence landed one of the decisive blows of the bout in round 11, connecting flush with that sweeping left hook and scoring a knockdown when Porter’s knee and glove hit the canvas. As expected, Porter rebounded strong, going at Spence and putting him on the back foot for most of the remainder of the round.

I think that knockdown was the difference,” disse Porter. “I couldn’t come back to the corner with my head down after that.

The final round was more of the same, with both fighters going toe-to-toe and leaving the STAPLES Center crowd on their feet and roaring until the final bell. The final punch stats saw both men throw nearly an equal number of punches, with Spence edging Porter 745 a 744 in punches thrown and 221 a 172 in punches landed.

All my punches have bad intentions,” said Spence. “By boxing Mikey Garcia, I wanted to show people I could do it with that style. Porter was throwing a lot. I wanted to show I was the bigger and stronger welterweight.

Dopo 12 rounds the close nature of the fight yielded a split decision from the judges. One judge saw the fight 115-112 for Porter, overruled by two judges who saw it 116-111 for Spence. In the ring after the fight, Spence was confronted and called out by former two-division champion Danny Garcia for a potential showdown next.

It was a top dog fight tonight,” ha detto Garcia. “I want you next Errol. It was a tough rugged fight. Shawn Porter is a tough fighter. I’m here to say I want next.

My how the tables have turned,” said Spence. “I’ve told my team, you line them up, I’ll knock them down.

Spence vs. Porter highlights di qua, di qua, di qua e di qua.

The pay-per-view co-main event saw unbeaten David “La bandiera rossa” Benavidez(22-0, 19 KO) regain the WBC Super Middleweight World Championship from two-time champion Anthony “The Dog” Dirrell (33-2-1, 24 KO) with a ninth-round TKO victory.

Everything just fell in place perfectly,” said Benavidez. “From the suspension to all the big fights I’ve been in. All of that helped me out in this fight. I did not make a mistake or open myself up more than I needed to. I worked behind my jab and got the stoppage. Things are going to get better and get tougher and I’m ready for the challenge.

The fight followed a similar pattern throughout, with Benavidez stalking his opponent looking to unload power shots, while Dirrell circled the ring looking to counter and keep him at bay with his jab.

Benavidez stayed in control through the early rounds, until Dirrell turned the tables momentarily in round four trying to batter Benavidez against the ropes, but he was unable to daze the 22-year-old.

In round six Benavidez broke through with a critical moment in the fight, landing a punch that opened up a cut over Dirrell’s right eye. With the blood pouring, the cut was immediately a problem for Dirrell, who now had limited vision to stop the incoming assault.

He hit me with a clean shot,” , ha detto Dirrell. “That’s my first time ever being cut by a punch. It opened up. There was nothing I could do about it. I couldn’t see the whole fight after that. My corner did a good job on it, but I really couldn’t see.

Despite having his cut checked by the ringside physician in rounds six, seven and eight, Dirrell was able to use his veteran savvy to stay in the fight. As the fight went to round nine Benavidez increased his offense, slowing Dirrell down enough where he could tee off with power punches in the corner.

As Dirrell tried to navigate away from Benavidez’s offense, he began to take take more punishment and looked shaky on his feet. Referee Thomas Taylor officially stopped the fight 1:39 nel turno, at the direction of Dirrell’s corner. Benavidez ended the fight with a 165 a 94 advantage in punches landed, with the biggest margin coming from his 101 power shots landed to just 41 from Dirrell.

There are so many emotions coming at me at once,” said Benavidez. “We put so much hard work into this training camp. We left home and were away from everything. But I had the dream to become the youngest two-time super middleweight world champion and I made my dreams come true.

I would have kept going in there,” , ha detto Dirrell. “I’m not quitting against anybody. Everyone saw I didn’t go down. My legs were still strong, but I couldn’t do anything about it.

We’re going back to the drawing board. I’m still fighting. We won’t end on a loss. You can put anybody in there with me.

Watch highlights of Dirrell vs. Benavidez di qua, di qua e di qua.

Additional action saw undefeated Mario “L'azteco” Quartieri (25-0, 16 KO) score a close unanimous decision victory over Batyr Akhmedov (7-1, 6 KO) to capture the WBA Super Lightweight title in an action packed fight.

I knew this was going to be a war,” Detto Barrios. “He was getting dirty in there but the Mexican warrior in me was not going to let this opportunity pass me by. I dug deep and got the victory.

The action began with Akhmedov trying to get inside against his taller opponent, while Barrios looked to move and punish Akhmedov with pot shots from the outside. In quarto round, Barrios connected with a combo that stunned Akhmedov before Barrios followed up and scored a knockdown when Akhmedov’s glove touched the canvas.

The plan was to gradually grow the activity,” said Akhmedov. “I knew that I had to win by a wide margin. After the first knockdown, I knew that I had to add activity more quickly than I had planned. So I started being more aggressive. I did everything I could to try to stop him.

After surviving the round, Akhmedov picked up the aggression and began effectively closing the space down between his opponent. He began to land numerous clean left and right hooks that put Barrios on the defensive.

As the championship rounds neared, Barrios began to experience severe swelling in his left eye amidst the onslaught from Akhmedov. In the final round, Barrios was able to turn the tide back in his favor late in the frame. He delivered a pinpoint right hand that stunned Akhmdov and again forced him to put a glove on the mat.

After the knockdown, the fight went to the judges scores, who saw the fight 116-11, 115-11 e 114-112, tutti a favore di Barrios. The relentless pursuit after the first knockdown from Barrios ended with him holding a 238 a 135 advantage in punches landed, but it was not enough to sway the judges on this night.

I promised my city of San Antonio that I would bring this title back home and I did it,” Detto Barrios.

The judges see better than I can from the ring,” said Akhmedov. “I did everything I could. Ho pensato che ho vinto la battaglia. They decided that he won the fight. When I watch the fight I’ll be able to tell you what it looked like. My job is to do everything to win. The judges are supposed to judge correctly.

I tried to do everything I could. I was told that I wouldn’t be able to handle his experience, but he was on the ropes most of the fight. I beat him up and I thought I won the fight.

The opening bout of the pay-per-view saw Josesito “The Riverside Rocky” Lopez (37-8, 20 KO) knock out John Molina Jr. (30-9, 24 KO) in the eighth round of their welterweight fight.

We both carry power in our hands so it wasn’t a surprise someone went down,” , ha detto Lopez. “It easily could have happened to me with the power he has. I was able to catch him early, find openings and get the finish.

Lopez landed a critical blow on his first punch of the night, snapping off an overhand right that connected flush with Molina and put him on the canvas early in the first round. Lopez was patient following up and eventually landed a vicious body shot that put Molina down for the second time in the round.

Molina was able to rise to his feet and make it to the second round, and showed flashes that he might be able to change the tide of the fight. He slowed Lopez’s attack down in round two with a vicious combination of right and left hooks to the head.

You can never take the fight out of a fighter,” Ha detto Molina. “I have a never say die attitude and I have my whole career. E 'stata una dura lotta, but the better man won tonight.

I knew he wasn’t going to quit,” , ha detto Lopez. “E 'un guerriero. I had to keep on the pressure. I was thinking that hopefully the ref and the team made the right call to finish it at the right time.

Lopez stayed patient however and jabbed while looking to set up the right hand that had knocked Molina down in the first. In round seven Lopez broke through again, this time landing a perfect straight right hand that put Molia on the canvas late in the round.

After a long look from the ringside physician and his own corner, Molina tried to take his chance at a fight-changing punch in the eighth round. Early in the round, Lopez was able to land several big power shots that prompted referee Ray Corona to stop the bout 39 secondi nel turno.

I wanted to keep going at the end,” Ha detto Molina. “I thought I was still coherent and could still move well. But you can’t go against what the referees say.

There’s a lot more ‘Riverside Rocky’ sinistra,” , ha detto Lopez. “Robert Garcia has turned my career around. I’m a race car and like NASCAR, I’ve got a whole team behind me. I’m a top 10-level fighter. I’m going to give any fighter and any world champion a run for their money. I want memorable fights and I want the best.

Watch Lopez drop Molina in round one di qua and round seven di qua.

The main event of prelims on FS1 saw former three-time world champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerriero (36-6-1, 20 KO) earn a unanimous decision victory over Jerry Thomas (14-2-1, 8 KO) in their 10-round welterweight fight.

The early rounds were strategic, as Thomas relied on his movement while Guerrero looked to fire jabs patiently until he found opportunities for his power punches. Round three saw action jump up a bit as Guerrero landed a big straight left that pushed Thomas hard back into the ropes.

I got some rounds in tonight, which was valuable,” , ha detto Guerrero. “We got what we needed and boxed our way to victory.

Guerrero continued to stalk Thomas and attack the body as his opponent spent most of the fight set on circling the ring. Tuttavia, in round nine, Thomas upped the presser and closed the distance on Guerrero. He landed numerous power shots that put Guerrero on the back foot.

It was Thomasbest round of the fight, but he was unable to put Guerrero down or out and after 10 rounds the fight was in the judges’ mani. All three saw the bout in favor of Guerrero, con il punteggio di 98-92 e 99-91 due volte.

I want to get back into those bigger fights,” , ha detto Guerrero. “I moved around and stayed smart in there tonight. The goal was to stick to the game plan and I did until the end of the fight, but then I got right back on it. You just have to keep working out the kinks and that’s what I’m going to keep doing.

In the opening prelims bout, unbeaten top prospect Joey Spencer (9-0, 7 KO) scored a third-round stoppage of previously unbeaten Travis Gambardella (5-1-2, 2 KO) in their super welterweight contest.

Spencer started the action early, leading with power shots while also controlling the distance between him and his opponent. A series of body shots put Gambardella down twice in the first round, although he was able to make it to the closing bell of the frame.

The body shots weren’t really the plan going in,” said Spencer. “I started off with head shots and he was taking those well. I put one downstairs and I instantly saw it affect him badly. I knew it was a wrap. I was going to keep going to the body.

Spencer landed a powerful straight right hand to Gambardella’s head early in round two and quickly followed up with a flurry punctuated by another body shot that dropped him for the third time in the fight. Although Spencer looked to close hard, Gambardella was able to fight intelligently and make it through another round.

I thought the referee was going to stop it in the second round,” said Spencer. “When he let him go I took a deep breath and made sure not to punch myself out. I stuck to my jab and let the rest take care of itself.

Early into round three, Spencer went back on the attack and connected with a big left hook to Gambardella’s head. Questa volta, referee Ray Corona jumped in and halted the bout 53 secondi nel turno, giving Spencer the TKO victory.

I’m so happy with the improvements that I was able to show tonight on the big stage,” said Spencer. “I’m really excited for what’s to come.

LOS ANGELES (Settembre 25, 2019) – IBF Welterweight World Champion Errol “La Verità” Spence Jr. and WBC Welterweight Champion “Orario Dello Spettacolo” Shawn Porter had an intense faceoff at Wednesday’s final press conference before they headline a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View this Saturday, Settembre 28 allo Staples Center di Los Angeles.

The press conference also featured WBC Super Middleweight World Champion Anthony “The Dog” Dirrell e l'ex campione del mondo David “La bandiera rossa” Benavidezexchanging words before they clash in the co-main event of pay-per-view action that begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

I biglietti per l'evento, which is promoted by Man Down Promotions, TGB Promotions and Shawn Porter Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com.

Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from the Wilshire Grand Ballroom II at the Intercontinental Hotel:

ERROL SPENCE JR.

I feel like all of my fights prepared me for this moment. Porter is not like Mikey Garcia. They have different styles and different mentalities. But there are a lot of distractions fighting at home and I feel like I overcame that to lead me to this point.

I don’t make anything of the words he’s saying. We train hard and we’re focused and prepared for anything he brings Saturday night.

He’s been talking a lot, his dad’s been talking a lot and I’m going to shut him up. They’re going to call me theshow stopperafter Saturday night.

I’ve prepared for everything. It’s all about adjustments. I make them fast in the ring. People thought Kell Brook’s experience would help him but it didn’t at all. I can adjust to my opponent’s style and we will show it Saturday.

“Sono pronto ad andare. I never missed weight and I’m always professional. It’s just hard work and dedication. I’m going to be even more ripped and ready than I was against Mikey Garcia.

This is going to be an amazing event come Saturday night. I will be the unified champion of the world. Shawn comes to fight and I embrace that. I can’t wait because I promise this is going to be one for the history books.

I just have to do what I’ve been doing. I don’t care about the rounds as long as it doesn’t go 12.
I’m going to win and do it in dominating fashion.

It’s important to me to get the knockout. It’s a goal of mine to stop him and I hope to get it done. If can’t get it done, then I’m just going to be comfortable with the victory. But you know I’m looking for the stoppage.

SHAWN PORTER

It’s the competitor in me to get at him any way I can. Until that bell rings, we’ll do whatever we need to do to let him know we’re really here to fight him.

When you’re in there with a top level opponent, it’s supposed to be a close action packed fight. I have everything it takes to make each fight exciting when I step into the ring.

Everyone has seen everything what I’ve done in my career. Everyone knows I can take a punch and I’ll be there from the first round to the last round. We’ll see what happens to Errol as the fight goes on.

This is the best camp I’ve ever had. The nutrition and everything has been spot on. I’m ahead of schedule and that’s where I plan to stay. I expect to be eating Friday morning.

I’m aggressive and I’m strong and guys can’t handle it. There are things that happen in the ring and you just have to move with it. I’m always ready to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

I expected it to get heated today. I know that if I fire at Errol, he’s going to fire back. That’s how the fights going to be as well. Everyone got a good taste of what you’ll see Saturday.

Being in the underdog position is literally where I come from. Northeast Ohio is always an underdog. Everybody works where I come from. We always do the best we can.

The resume is for everyone else to compare and contrast. Per me, it’s all about who’s in front of me. I believe I have the right recipe to be the person to get the job done Saturday. I have the style to challenge him physically and mentally.

We didn’t change too much of our program heading into this fight. For the second time we went down to Washington, D.C. for part of our camp.

ANTHONY Dirrell

The underdog or the favorite I’m always going to ”The Dog’ non importa cosa. People can have their opinion on the odds, but it doesn’t play into my mentality at all for this fight.

This is a fight that could very well steal the show on this pay-per-view. It’s an honor to be in this position. It’s a dream to be on a card like this defending my title.

I have to see how it plays out, but age is just a number. You see Manny Pacquiao and fighters like that who went out and beat younger opponents. You have to be determined and still focused on the game.

Experience is definitely a big key in this fight. I think that he has holes in his game and I’m going to expose it on Saturday night.

The cut from my last fight won’t be an issue for this one. That fight was over six months ago, so if it’s going to heal, it should be healed. It doesn’t affect anything I’m doing in the ring.

My training camp in Las Vegas was spectacular. It’s all about taking yourself out of your comfort zone and push yourself to the max to be successful at this elite level.

I don’t think this fight is going the distance and I know I’m having my hand raised at the end. He got dropped with a jab and I hit harder than Ronald Gavril.

DAVID BENAVIDEZ

“Sono molto motivato per questa lotta. I feel like I have another opportunity to not just get a title, but take it from a champion. Ho lavorato molto duramente per questa lotta. Dirrell has never been knocked out and I’m taking the challenge to be the man who does it.

This is the perfect time for this fight. I’m getting stronger every day. Dirrell feels like he has a lot to prove to the fans. So it’s going to be a war as long as it lasts.

This is going to be an amazing card. It’s a stacked card from beginning to end. I want to make a statement and steal the show.

Dirrell is a great fighter and we’re both ready for what we’re going to do. There’s a respect between us, but I’m going for the knockout. If I don’t, he’s going to get a beating.

I’m definitely going to make this weight class my home. I have no problem at all making weight. There’s a lot of great fights to be made at super middleweight and we’re going to stay here as long as we can get those fights done.

“A partire da adesso, all of my attention is on Anthony Dirrell. We give him the respect he deserves because he’s a champion at the end of the day. It’s going to take my best to beat him and we’re looking forward to doing it.

Dirrell has experience, plus some speed and power. He can change from orthodox to southpaw and has a lot of tricks in his book. He’s been in there with some good fighters. But what motivates me the most is that he’s never really been hurt and I want to be the first. I know when I put my hands on somebody, I can hurt them.

Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from Barry’s Boxing Gym in Las Vegas:

SHAWN PORTER

Shawn Porter is going to leave the ring with two belts. I’m going to hit him. I’m going to hit him hard and I’m going to do things you’ve never seen anyone do against Errol Spence.

I’m expecting there to be adversity for Errol. There’s going to be a moment where he realizes he’s losing this fight. He has to be solid psychologically. I don’t know if he’s going to be in the ring. I believe I have the advantage there and that I know how to get into his head.

I think Errol’s confidence is natural like mine. But I think that he’s fed his confidence to the point where some arrogance has come out. I think he’s going to show that in the fight early on. He’s going to have to adjust. Once he recognizes that, I expect the arrogance to go out the window and that he’ll have to figure it out.

I’ve never seen Errol go through any adversity in the ring. I don’t think anyone has been able to challenge him the way I can challenge him. Non vedo l'ora di farlo.

There’s a combination that comes from Shawn Porter that you can’t get anywhere else. It’s the speed, potere, agility and intelligence. You have to make a lot of adjustments on the fly and be ready. I’m hard to prepare for. Spence probably has one or two things that he’s expecting, but it’s not going to go that way.

I’ve been in Errol’s position before and I know what it’s like to think that all I had to do was show up and be me. I’ve gotten to a point where I realize now that I have to do more.

I don’t think there’s too much to figure out with Errol. The game plan is to make him make the adjustments. Things don’t always go to plan, but I still think I know what he wants to do in there. He’s not going to give you a lot to adjust to, but what he does do, he’s supreme and he’s great at.

Southpaws always bring the best out of me. I’m young again. You’re going to see the best Shawn Porter.

I think Errol has a lot more to lose in this fight. He’s never had to deal with a loss, and most people aren’t expecting him to lose. He’s in the perfect position being considered a top welterweight. But from my perspective, I just have absolutely no intention on losing.

ANTHONY Dirrell

This is going to be a good fight. David Benavidez is a warrior and I don’t take anything away from him. But I know that I have all the tools to beat him. He’s never fought someone like me. Everyone he knocked out, he was supposed to knock out.

I have everything I need in my arsenal. I’m versatile. I can switch it up if I need to. If I need to sit in the pocket, I can. If I need to box, I can. I just don’t think Benavidez is what everyone makes him out to be.

“Io vado per il ko. I go for the knockout in every fight. If it doesn’t happen, I can still go 12 rounds and come out victorious.

This win would build my legacy. Some people expect me to lose, and I’m happy about that. This just takes my career to another level.

I’m not looking past this fight. I’m focused on David Benavidez. After this fight I can talk about unification or whatever. Put first I have to take care of David.

A loss is a loss no matter which way you put it. Whether you lose by a mile or half a round. That’s in the past and we’re only focused on the future. There’s an undefeated 22-year-old fighter trying to take what I’ve got.

You put all the work in when you’re in the gym, then you have to leave everything in the ring. We trained too hard to not do that. Sono molto fiducioso. Alla fine della giornata, the fans are going to win.

I’ve seen Benavidez fight before. My coaches have watched him closely and will come up with the game plan. He’s quick, but we’ll be ready.

ROBERT GUERRERO

I feel great right now. Everything has been going smoothly and I can’t wait to just go to work out there. All the hard stuff is done, now it’s just maintaining and staying ready.

I’m excited for this opportunity. I’m well prepared and ready to go. It’s like any other fight. You leave no stone unturned, execute your game plan and do what you have to do to win.

The fans are going to get what they always get from me. I’m going to come to fight, take care of business and leave everyone with something to remember.

In a lot of my fights, I just walked guys down. I’ve had guys like Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia fighting just to hang in there, and I wasn’t even fighting to my full potential. I was just walking them down. But my skills are boxing, that’s how I fought at the lighter weights. I got away from what I was good at.

IBF Champion Errol Spence Jr. Battles WBC Champion Shawn Porter In Highly-Anticipated 147-Pound Title Unification Match that Headlines a Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View Event Saturday, Settembre 28 da STAPLES Center di Los Angeles

The Welterweight World Title Takeover Continues!

DI PIÙ! Two-Time Champion Anthony Dirrell will Defend His WBC Super Middleweight Title Against Undefeated Former Champion David Benavidez in the Co-Feature

Biglietti in vendita, Lunedi, Luglio 22 A 12 p.m. PT!

LOS ANGELES (Luglio 20, 2019) – Welterweight world champions collide when IBF Champion Errol “La Verità” Spence Jr. clashes with WBC Champion“Orario Dello Spettacolo” Shawn Porter in a massive 147-pound title unification match headlining a Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View on Saturday, Settembre 28 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The co-feature of the evening will pit WBC Super Middleweight Champion Anthony “The Dog” Dirrell against unbeaten former champion David “La bandiera rossa” Benavidez in an explosive 168-pound showdown.


Tickets for the event go on sale Monday, Luglio 22 a 12 p.m. PT and can be purchased at AXS.com.

“Errol Spence Jr. versus Shawn Porter in a welterweight unification match brings to mind some of the great 147-pound clashes of the past – Sugar Ray Robinson vs. Kid Gavilan, Leonard vs. Hearns or Whitaker vs. Chavez,” ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions TGB. “Both men are in their primes and both like to apply pressure. With that clash of styles, something has to give. Nella co-feature, Anthony Dirrell doesn’t want to give up the title and David Benavidez wants it back. Played out before an electric crowd at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles and headlining a PBC on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View, this show has instant classic written all over it.

Spence vs. Porter represents a major step forward in the quest to find the best 147-pound boxer on the planet. Spence has declared that anyone who wants to make that claim will have to come through him. Porter has already faced the some of the biggest names in the division, including Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia, and will make Spence back up his boast.

The unbeaten Spence (25-0, 21 KO) è un giovane, powerful welterweight who vaulted to the top of the welterweight scene with a punishing 11th round knockout victory over Kell Brook for the IBF championship in front of Brook’s hometown fans in Sheffield, England in 2017. Fighting out of Desoto, Texas, Spence has successfully defended the title three times. Most recently he scored a unanimous decision victory over three-division world champion Mikey Garcia in a PBC on FOX Pay-Per-View show before a hometown crowd at AT&Stadio T di Arlington, Texas on March 16.

“E sarà una lotta molto eccitante,” said Spence. “Shawn is never in a boring fight and I always entertain. It will be a ‘Fight of the Yeartype fight because our styles mesh. Shawn Porter is a guy who tries to rough you up. That’s what he’s always done. With Yordenis Ugas he tried to box and he said he didn’t like that style. He said he is going back to his original style. If he brings that style to me, it’s going to be a great fight because I’m going to bring it right back to him.

The 31-year-old Porter (30-2-1, 17 KO) is a two-time welterweight champion whose high-pressure style has served him well in his rise in the 147-pound division. Born in Akron, Ohio and now living in Las Vegas, Porter won the IBF welterweight title with a unanimous decision victory over Devon Alexander in 2013. He lost the title, which Spence now has, to Kell Brook by a majority decision in 2014. Porter moved back into the championship ranks with a unanimous decision victory over Danny Garcia for the vacant WBC title in 2018. He successfully defended the title with a split decision victory over Yordenis Ugas in March on FOX.

There haven’t been too many fights as a professional that I’ve been this excited about,” disse Porter. “I was really excited about the Danny Garcia fight and I’m really excited about this one. Ever since Spence got a belt, I really circled this fight on my calendar. Preparation is the key. I think I have everything it takes to beat Errol Spence. I’m very confident and my team is confident in what I have to do on September 28. We’ll be ready.

Dirrell vs. Benavidez promises to be a hotly contested battle for the WBC Super Middleweight title. Dirrell is a two-time WBC 168-pound world champion and will bring experience, while Benavidez will bring his high-octane style.

The 34-year-old Dirrell (33-1-1, 24 KO) won the WBC title for the first time with a unanimous decision over Sakio Bika in 2014. The native of Flint, Michigan lost the title the next year to Badou Jack by majority decision. He put together six straight victories after that loss to get back into position to fight for the championship again. He won the title with a technical decision victory over Avni Yildirim in February on FS1. Dirrell is the younger brother of Andre Dirrell, who won a bronze medal as a member of the U.S. Olympic boxing team in 2004.

I’m going to work my butt off, putting in extra hours in the gym, because this is one of the toughest opponents I’ve ever fought,” Dirrell said. “He’s young and he’s tough. But I’m more than ready for anything that he can bring. I bring an exciting fight. He knows that. The world knows that. Egli può parlare, but nothing matters but what happens in the ring. I wanted this fight to be out west because I will fight anybody anywhere. It’s only two people in the ring and we’re going to give a good entertaining fight for the fans.

Benavidez (21-0, 18 KO) won the WBC title with a split decision victory over Ronald Gavril in 2017. Fighting out of Phoenix, Arizona, Benavidez successfully defended the title with a more convincing unanimous decision over Gavril in the rematch four months later. The 22-year-old returned to the ring to score an impressive knockout victory over veteran J’Leon Love in March on the Spence vs. Garcia PBC on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View.

I’m looking forward to reclaiming my WBC belt in my next fight against Anthony Dirrell,” said Benavidez. “This fight is overdue and I guarantee I will be ready for whatever he brings to the ring. The fans are really going to enjoy this one.
