SAN ANTONIO (Juli 23, 2016) – Undefeated prospect Fabian Maidana (10-0, 7 KOS) scored a seventh-round technical knockout victory over Jorge Maysonet Jr. (13-2, 11 KOS) Saturday night in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions på NBCSN from the Scottish Rite Auditorium in San Antonio.
With his brother, former world champion Marcos Maidana, sitting at ringside, the Argentine-slugger overcame a slow start and a first-round bloody nose for a sensational one-sided beat-down of the Puerto Rican brawler Maysonet, who failed to answer the bell for the seventh round of Saturday’s main event.
Referee Rafael Ramos, acting on the advice of Maysonet’s corner, called the fight as Maidana dominated the punch stats with a 60-22 advantage in overall punches, 49-15 in power shots, og 11-7 in jabs.
Maysonet came to fight and pressed Maidana from the beginning, eventually, nailing Maidana with a right hand to the nose that opened up a steady flow of blood.
Sensing the urgency, Maidana stormed back in the second, rocking Maysonet with a right hand, left hook combination with just over 10 seconds to go in a round in which he out-landed Maysonet 12-4 in power shots.
Maidana’s kept up a versatile attack in the third round using head movement, stick-and-move tactics and a varied assortment of punches to keep up his advantage over Maysonet.
Maidana turned the match in his favor in the next round, delivering an impressive battering of Maysonet over the final 20 seconds of the round.
The Argentine was even more dominant in the one-sided fifth and sixth rounds, doubling up on his hooks, firing straight rights and landing head-snapping shots that began the demise of a fading Maysonet.
Undefeated Alan Castano (11-0, 7 KOS) failed to earn his third straight knockout despite out-landing his opponent 157-94 in overall punches, winning his middleweight bout by unanimous decision (78-74 tre gange) over 22-year-old Aaron Garcia (15-6-1, 10 KOS).
The 23-year-old Castano was accurate early in the first round with clean right hands supporting a stiff jab. The attack caused immediate swelling over Garcia’s left eye entering the second round, where he temporarily was able to trap and hammer away at Garcia with combinations against the ropes.
Garcia dominated the final 45 minutes of the second round with a momentum-swinging right to the head followed by successive combinations from both fighters at the bell.
A third-round clash of heads caused a nasty gash over Garcia’s right eye that increasingly streamed blood, forcing Garcia to go on the offensive, as Castano countered effectively with both hands to the head and body in an action-packed fourth round.
Castano continued to control the fight, establishing angles from behind his jab, follow-up rights and clean left uppercuts while Garcia stayed competitive throughout the round.
Fighting beyond six rounds for the first time in his career, Castano spent the final two rounds on the defensive, jabbing and countering from a distance and staying off the ropes on his way to winning unanimously.
The televised opener saw 19-year-old Brandon Figueroa (9-0, 7 KOS) score a pair of final-round knockdowns on the way to his fifth-straight stoppage victory as he earned a TKO over Adalberto Zorrilla(7-2, 7 KOS) ved 2:44 mark of the third round.
The southpaw Figueroa, brother of former world champion Omar Figueroa, pressed forward with a double-fisted attack from the outset, but Zorrilla landed several uppercuts cleanly up the middle, refusing to back down from the challenge of the unbeaten prospect.
Zorrilla began to out-work the oncoming Figueroa to the head and body through the second round before being penalized for repeated low blows late in the round by referee Rafael Ramos.
The fighters engaged toe-to-toe, at ring center to start the third until a Figueroa left to the head rocked Zorrilla to the ropes. Figueroa saw his opportunity and pounced, flooring him with a left hand near the one-minute mark.
Zorrilla beat the count and engaged immediately, staggering Figueroa with a left jab. Figueroa came back to floor him for good, med 18 seconds to go after a left to the body followed by one to the head. The blows sent Zorrilla to his back beneath a bottom rope, where Ramos waved an end to the fight.
Here is what the fighters had to say Saturday night:
FABIAN MAIDANA
“We were very pleased with our performance. He caught me with a good shot that drew blood from my nose in the first round. I just kept calm, listened to my corner and stuck to the game plan. I knew I was the stronger fighter; I just had to remain patient.
“I was a little disappointed that I didn’t get to knock him out, but I sensed that he would eventually quit. He stopped throwing punches and didn’t want to fight back.
“It means everything to have Chino (Marcos Maidana) by my side, supporting my career. It meant a lot to get this win on US TV in the same city where he beat Adrien Broner (i december. '13) and became a star. With each fight, I want to show fans that I’m Fabian Maidana, not just his little brother. I proved that tonight and will do so with more experience. I’m ready to carry the family name in the ring.
“This was only my 10th pro fight. I’m going to keep improving each time. Næste kamp, I will look even better, no matter when it is.”
JORGE MAYSONET
“I had him hurt early, but I couldn’t put my punches together after that. I gave 100% of what I had, but I really only had 50% of my best stuff. I’m a lightweight. They wanted the fight at super lightweight, derefter 143. We took the fight because of who he is, really who his brother is.
“For at være ærlig, we don’t think much of him as a fighter. He’s bigger than me and was able to beat me that way. My corner saw that I reached a point where I couldn’t fight the way I wanted to. We didn’t want to disappoint the crowd by going out there and not fighting, so my corner stopped the fight and I respect their decision. This isn’t the last of me, I’m coming back at my natural weight and will go on to achieve great things in this sport.”
ALAN CASTANO
“Jeg er meget tilfreds med min præstation. It was my first time going eight rounds, I had a lot of energy throughout the fight and was able to do everything I wanted in there.
“He was tough, but we knew that going in. I didn’t pay a lot of attention to his fight with Brian (Alan’s older brother, who beat Garcia by eight-round decision last December). I couldn’t tell you if he was any different tonight than when he fought that night. I just know what I wanted to do. He gave me a good test that I needed at this point in my career.
“I’d love to come back as soon as my team can make a fight for me.”
BRANDON FIGUEROA
“It was good to get the knockout, but I felt very off tonight, very sluggish. I like the activity I’ve had but this might be the first time in my career where I need a break.
“This was the toughest test to date for me. I knew that going into the fight and he landed a few good shots. This was a night where I needed to be at my best. I wasn’t but fortunate to get the job done.
“I know the left hook landed to his body to end the fight, but I don’t even remember it. I felt a little sick towards the end of training camp. My focus was just trying to get him out of there. I did that, so now it’s time to act like a teenager and enjoy a summer vacation, maybe slow it down just a little.”

Las Vegas (December 18) – Den “force” was with Cuban star and newly crowned lightweight world champion Rances Barthelemy (24-0, 13 KOS) as he won a 12-round unanimous decision over Russian southpaw Denis Shafikov (36-2-1, 19 KOS) in the headlining bout of the final Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) på Spike fight card of 2015. The four-fight telecast, which was supported by non-televised fights featuring some of Mayweather Promotions’ stigende stjerner, took place at the Pearl at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
Coming off of a luxury world tour, Floyd Mayweather returned stateside and sat ringside as promoter of tonight’s fights. The recently retired five-division world champion, who also learned today he was selected asSports Illustrated Fighter of the Year, was animated and engaged through the final bell of the evening.
Den vigtigste begivenhed, which started off as a close toe-to-toe battle, ended in the Barthelemy’s favor as he swept the latter quarter of the bout. Shafikov controlled the beginning of the fight, staying in the pocket and throwing more powerful punches than Barthelemy as the Cuban had a difficult time adjusting to the significantly shorter, yet stronger, style of Shafikov.
The turning point of the fight occurred when a cut caused by a punch by Barthelemy opened up above Shafikov’s right eye in the eighth round. The blood began to poor furiously and referee Vic Drakulich called the ringside doctor over to inspect the cut. When the fight resumed, Barthelemy attacked the Russian’s eye and never let up for the remainder of the fight. He took advantage of the cut and coupled it with his height and reach advantage which led to a recipe for success as he is now a two-division world champion. The judges saw the bout 119-109 og 116-112 to gange.
“There were moments where I was trapped into my style of fighting. It took me a minute to adjust to Shafikov’s style and exchange punches with him,” Said Barthelemy. “I’m really happy with the number of punches I was able to get off.
“I was really impressed with Shafiov’s warrior style. He never gave up even after getting hurt with punches that were affecting his fight. That really caught me by surprise and also that he was able to last the whole fight. The fact that he continued really says something about him as a fighter.”
“I’m not sure if I won the fight,” Said Shafikov. “I’m very disappointed and I want a rematch.”
The co-main event saw a bizarre ending to what was to be a cruiserweight elimination bout. Detroit southpawIsiah Thomas (15-0, 6 KOS) was winning the fight on all three judges’ scorecards through round three when Russian power-puncher Murat “Jern” Gassiev (22-0, 16 KOS) threw accidental late blows to Thomas’ head after the bell. The punches forced referee Jay Nady to make the tough call that the punches “diminished the value” of Thomas’ ability to continue. As the fight had not yet gone four rounds, unified rules state that the fight does not go to the scorecards, thus ruling it a no contest.
Chris Pearson (16-1 11 KOS), a promising super welterweight from Dayton, Ohio put his previously undefeated record on the line against fellow unbeaten Eric Walker (12-0, 6 KOS) of Plaquemine, Louisiana in the second televised bout. Walker came out strong, dominating the early rounds against Pearson, another member of the stable of rising stars from Mayweather Promotions. A wobbled Pearson persevered and attempted to turn the tide in an action-packed fifth round with a series of head shots.

The seventh round saw both fighters exchanging a brutal barrage of punches culminating with a fast-paced eighth and final round drawing a standing ovation from the crowd. The underdog Walker, who spent 13 years in Dixon Correctional Institute in Louisiana, scored a unanimous decision victory (79-71, 78-74, 80-72) winning the biggest fight of his life in front of a captivated national TV audience.

“If you believe in God and work hard at what you’re doing, you’re going to succeed,” Said Walker. “Look at me now.
“I had watched his previous fights and knew that my right hand would be too much for him and that I could land it anytime,” continued Walker. “My conditioning was really the difference tonight. I was in great shape and I was able to rely on that when the going got tough.”

Pearson was disappointed in the decision and was left wanting a rematch.

“I take my hat off to him,” said Pearson. “His punches were crisp and hard. I just couldn’t get going on anything consistently. I thought it was closer than the judges’ scorecards and I definitely want a rematch as soon as possible.”

Ved indledningen anfald af aftenen, one of boxing’s fast rising stars, Gervonta “Den ene” Davis (14-0, 13 KOS) out of Baltimore put his undefeated record on the line against Mexico’s Luis Sanchez (17-5-1, 5 KOS) in a lightweight clash.

Davis, a 21-year-old protégé of Mayweather, lived up to his reputation as a budding superstar scoring a hard-fought ninth round knockout victory. Sanchez showed his toughness and resiliency as he forced Davis to fight three rounds longer than any fight of his career.Davis showed his speed and power in the eighth round as he landed an uppercut to knock down his determined opponent. In the ninth round, he threw a massive left hand to finish Sanchez, sending Mayweather to his feet in celebration.

“It felt great to fight all of these rounds and get the work in,” Said Davis. “He’s a tough fighter and I learned a great deal tonight. It was a very good experience for me.
“I just listened to my corner and Floyd, took my time and broke him down. I want to fight again as soon as possible for a world title.”
Mayweather, who was very pleased with Davis’ performance, sees the young undefeated fighter’s future as bright.
“It’s always good to go out there and get the W,” Said Mayweather. “Han er ung. He’s still learning. We’re looking forward to him being a world champion some day.”
Mayweather relished in the opportunity to promote one of the final fights of the year in his hometown of Las Vegas saying, “I’m so happy we were able to showcase on national television some of the talented fighters we have at Mayweather Promotions. Vinder eller taber, I am proud of all of them.
“More importantly I want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and thank for them supporting me, Mayweather Promotions and The Money Team throughout all of these years. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.”

(April 18, 2015) – Tillidsfuld og beslutsom, Andrzej “Den polskePrince” Fonfara (27-3, 16 KOS) forkælet ringen returnering af Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (48-2-1, 32 KOS) på rungende måde Lørdag nat, gulv den tidligere mellemvægtmester en gang på vej til en ensidig niende runde TKO i hovedbegivenhedenSHOWTIME Championship Boxing lever videre SHOWTIME.

 

Fonfara, af Chicago ved hjælp af Radon, Polen, faldt Chavez, af Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico, med en bred venstre krog 50 sekunder ind i den niende runde før en voldsom skare af 8,636 overvejende Chavez fans på StubHub Center. Det var første gang i 52 professionelle kampe om, at Chavez havde ramt lærredet fra et slag.

 

Når han vender tilbage til hjørnet, Chavez kunne høres på telecast-træner Joe Goossen at han havde såret sit højre ben og ikke længere kunne fortsætte. Øjeblikke senere, kampen blev standset. Den travle og mere præcise fighter hele vejen igennem, Fonfara var komfortabelt foran de tre dommere’ scorecards af scoret af 89-80 og 88-81 to gange efter ni fulde runder.

 

Tilbudt en ekstatisk Fonfara, der havde sin rimelige andel af polske fans på mødestedet: “Jeg vidste, at han var en hård kriger, hurtig og i god form, men da han ramte mig for første gang i første runde, Jeg vidste, at jeg skulle vinde denne kamp. Han slog ikke så hårdt som alle sagde, at han gjorde.

 

“Jeg så hans slag let komme ind. Jeg ved, at jeg kastede flere slag. Jeg var lidt overrasket over, at han ikke kom ud for (10th) men han blev skåret, havde været slået op og var lige blevet slået ned, så han vidste, hvad der ville ske, hvis han kom ud.

 

“Chavez sagde før kampen, at han ikke troede, at jeg kunne tage hans kropsslag. Jeg synes, jeg tog dem ret godt og bestod testen.

 

“Jeg ved, at der er ting, jeg stadig kan arbejde på under træning for at blive en mere komplet bokser, meni aften var en drøm, der blev til virkelighed. Jeg vil have en omkamp med (Let tungvægts verdensmester) Adonis Stevenson.

 

Sagde Chavez, søn af det legendariske mexicanske ikon, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. i ringen bagefter og før han blev ført til hospitalet som en sikkerhedsforanstaltning, “måske 170,172 pund er for stort for mig, måske går jeg ned igen. Jeg er ikke sikker på, hvad min fremtid bringer. Det var en meget hård kamp. Men jeg lykønsker Andrzej.”

 

Goossen fortalte bagefter reportere, at han havde gjort det “stoppede kampen. Det var min beslutning. Jeg kunne ikke lide det, jeg så. ”

 

I første halvdel af en SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING dobbelthoved, ubesejret, verdensrangeret super letvægt Amir I (17-0, 14 KOS), af Davie, Fla., ved hjælp af Albany, N.Y., vandt en skæv beslutning i 10 runde Walter “The Hammer” Slot.

 

Den talentfulde, alsidig, Jeg har, 24, styrede en kamp, ​​der indeholdt adskillige udvekslinger, især tidligt med en venstre jab og lige højre hånd.

 

“Mine kombinationer var effektive hele natten, vi holdt fast ved vores gameplan og kom sejrende ud,” sagde imam. “Jeg vil have nogen af ​​verdensmestrene næste”.

 

Slot, der så en ni-kamps vinderække slutte, sagde “Jeg troede, jeg vandt kampen. Jeg fik ikke kredit for de slag, jeg kastede. Dommeren, der scorede det 100-90; godt, det giver mig ingen chance for at vinde her. Klippet generede mig i de tidlige runder, men var ikke en faktor efter.”

 

Tidligere Lørdag, på SHOWTIME EXTREME, ubesejret Moises “Chucky” Blomster (23-0, 16 KOS), af Guadalajara, Mexico, erobrede WBA Super Bantamweight midlertidigt verdensmesterskab med en spændende 12-runde delt beslutning om forsvarende mester Oscar Escandon (24-2 16 KOS), af Tolima, Colombia.

 

Blomster, gør hans 2015 debut og tredje start i træk i USA, sejrede af snesevis af 116-112 to gange og 113-115.

 

En følelsesladet Flores var tæt på tårer bagefter. “Dette er en drøm – mere end en drøm, der er gået i opfyldelse – for mig,” sagde han. “Jeg så min familie på stranden, spise kød. Jeg så mine babyer bedre klædt på. For mig er dette en livsændrende sejr og, ja, Jeg troede, det var meget, meget tæt, men jeg føler absolut, at jeg vandt.

 

“Jeg vil kæmpe med det bedste næste, de bedste fyre på 122 pund og lige nu er den øverste fyr det Leo Santa Cruz. Det er den, jeg gerne vil kæmpe næste gang. Jeg vil virkelig takke alt mit team, fra top til bund, for at give mig denne vidunderlige mulighed. Vi er meget glade for, at vi blev medlem af Al Haymon-teamet. Vi er meget loyale, og vi sætter virkelig pris på alt, hvad de har gjort for os.”

 

Escandon følte, at han havde gjort nok for at vinde på trods af at han skadede højre pegefinger på sin højre hånd i den syvende runde.

“Jeg gjorde alt, hvad jeg kunne, alt var inden for rækkevidde, men jeg tror jeg brækkede eller brækkede min finger,” sagde han. “I boksning sker der ting, der er uden for din kontrol. Fordi jeg gjorde ondt i min hånd, Jeg kunne ikke kaste slag som jeg ville med min højre hånd. Jeg forsøgte at gøre alt, hvad jeg kunne, med det. Men jeg ville ikke skade det yderligere. Jeg er ok, men jeg ville bestemt elske en omkamp.”

 

I SHOWTIME EXTREME-co-funktionen, super weltervægt Omar “El forretningsmand”Chavez (33-3-1, 22 KOS), af Culiacan, den yngre bror til Chavez, Jr. og søn af legendariske Julio Cesar Sr., vandt en spændende, hård, give-og-tage enstemmig beslutning om otte runde Richard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 KOS), af Arjona, Colombia.

What the fighters, trainers and executives said Torsdag:

 

JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR., Tidligere verdensmester

“I had a great training camp. I feel better than ever. I am ready for the fight.

 

“I know that this is a new weight class for me. I realize that Fonfara is very tough and bigger than me, but I am up for the challenge.

 

“I have worked on my boxing during my one year off, and I am very excited and motivated to get back in the ring.

 

“I have worked so hard for this fight because I am fighting in a new weight class. I must punch harder, so I have focused on getting stronger during this training camp.

 

“I have a great chin, I know how to take punches and my conditioning is great. A lot of fighters can take a punch, but I can take multiple punches and not be hurt.

 

“I think that Andrzej Fonfara is one of the best fighters in the light heavyweight division. Inside of boxing, everyone knows who Fonfara is. He knocked down one of the best boxers in the world in Adonis Stevenson.

 

“Fonfara is disciplined in the ring, but he doesn’t vary his punches.

 

“I understand that my dad didn’t want me to take this fight. I had bigger names I could’ve fought, but I think that Fonfara is a great challenge for me and I like the challenge.

 

“I would like to thank SHOWTIME for making this fight happen.”

 

Andrzej Fonfara, World Title Challenger

“I’m prepared very well and I’m ready for this fight. It’s been a great camp like always. I train hard for each fight. I’m a tough boxer who is feeling great. The weight is good and everything is perfect.

 

“I must put everything into Lørdag night and I will win the fight.

 

“I must look even better than I did against Stevenson. Everyone said I looked good, but I lost the fight. I didn’t want congratulations because I did not win the fight. But this time I will win the fight. I’m ready for a decision or for a knockout.

 

“I’m ready with a couple of plans. I don’t want to run around the ring, I want to fight tough. I’m going to use my jab and my right hand, which is my best punch.

 

“I’m not worried about what his father said about not fighting me. Chavez Jr. wants to fight and I will show him that his father was right.

 

“It doesn’t matter how I win, I want to win this fight and get my rematch with Adonis Stevenson.

 

“Chavez Jr. er en stor fighter. He uses a lot of combinations and has a powerful punch that I must be ready for. I want to show the whole world how good I am when I win this fight på lørdag.

 

“If I get the chance, Jeg har tænkt mig at slå ham ud. It’s boxing so you never know what will happen. I want to box round-by-round and win this fight.

 

“I lost the fight with Stevenson but I showed that I was a good boxer. I’m a much smarter fighter now because of that experience. That was a fight at the top championship level.

 

“It doesn’t matter what Chavez Jr. says at a press conference, we’ll be in the ring Lørdagand everything will happen there.

 

“Fan’s can expect heavy punches, knockdowns and a great fight.”

 

AMIR LOVE, Undefeated Super Letvægts Contender

“I’m confident going into this fight because of how I train. I have put my heart and soul into this sport since I moved to Florida three years ago. I left everything behind to better myself.

 

“I’m going to stay smart and composed in there and do everything I can to get the win.

 

“I don’t feel like I need the knockout to come away with a successful fight. Men, you better believe that if there is an opportunity to knock him out, then I will take advantage of it.

 

“I 2015, Jeg ønsker at blive en verdensmester. This is my breakout year. A lot of people have been buzzing about me. I want to become the WBC world champion, that’s what I’m heading for.

 

“Jeg ved, han er [Slot] a good opponent, he’s got a great resume, and he’s coming to fight. He has a great record, so that alone shows what he’s capable of. Såsom Lørdag night may the better man win.

 

“I’ve boxed styles like [hans] plenty of times, but you never know, he could come out different Lørdagnat.

 

“I’m ready to put on a great show for the SHOWTIME audience.”

 

CASTILLO WALTER, Super Letvægts Contender

“I’m coming here to fight. I can tell you one thing, Amir Imam made a big mistake by taking this fight.

 

“I’ve fought a lot of tough fighters; my two losses were by decisions where I feel I was robbed. I’ve fought better fighters than Amir has.

 

“Såsom Lørdag, I’m going to announce to the whole world that Walter Castillo is here to stay and he’s going to be a world champion.”

SR JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ.

“Being in Los Angeles is like being in Mexico for me; I have had many great memories. I became the world champion for this first time here and my son also became the world champion for the first time here, for.

 

“Julio definitely has a very difficult fight ahead of him.

 

“If I was Julio’s manager, I wouldn’t have taken this fight. Fonfara is a difficult and tough fighter.

 

“My son wants to fight fighters of quality and wants credibility in boxing.

 

“Julio has worked and trained very hard for this fight .He has the capability to win and we expect that it will go very well.”

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez’ Trainer

“Julio has a window here the next five, six, seven years that he can capitalize on.

 

“I think he’s left the childish stuff behind, and we’re all guilty of being childish.

 

“I think that Julio has surprised his father with his determination heading into this fight.

He’s got a left hook to the liver that just sends a shock through your body.

 

“He’s not soft. He’s a real fighter. I have been around enough fighters to know that he’s a real fighter. Nummer et, he has the never-say- die attitude in there.

 

“We’re up against a very well-schooled, blue collar, workmanlike fighter in Fonfara.

 

“He is an athletic, improvisational fighter, in that you don’t know where everything’s coming from.

 

“I’ve watched a lot of Fonfara tape, and he pretty much repeats what he does, but he repeats it well.

 

“This is going to be a battle. You’ve got two contrasting styles and personalities.

 

“Julio has 51 fights under his belt. He’s no rookie and he comes from a great bloodline. (In the short time I’ve been with him, it has been) more of an association than a dictatorial effort between the two of us.

 

“Based on former camps, he’s never really extracted himself from comfortable surroundings and put himself in a position where he is completely isolated like he was in Lake Tahoe.”

 

SAM COLONNA, Fonfara’s Trainer

“Fonfara could turn it up whenever. He could be down on the scorecards and one punch he throws could change someone’s world. He’s proven in the past that he has power in both hands.

 

“The styles in this fight are perfect for each other. When people ask about the fight I say it could go either way, it depends on who catches the other first.

 

“I’m looking for Fonfara to dominate, but Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is a warrior, he comes to fight, he knows how to go to the body like his father used to, so we’ve been working on all of these strategies.

 

“A knockout win would be a dream come true to me. That’s what I’ve been looking for all these years. Winning this huge fight would change everything for Fonfara and myself.

 

“This camp that Andrzej had was the best we’ve ever had. He worked hard, he had time to train and there’s no excuses.

 

“We’re coming to fight a war. Don’t forget that wars are won by strategy.

 

“People say to listen to your father. His father told him not to take this fight, but he took it anyway and that was a mistake.

 

“I see this fight not going past 10 runder, with us getting the knockout.”

 

STACY MCKINLEY, Imamens Trainer

“Amir has always trained very hard, but I did see a change in him in this training camp after the last fight. He has stepped up his training by two levels.

 

“He learned a lot about his fight against [Fidel Maldonado] under the bright SHOWTIME lights at the MGM Grand.

 

“Amir is always confident going into each fight, but he made a mistake in the Maldonado fight. He rolled his right hand and forgot about the left hand and was knocked down. He had to pay for his mistakes but it’s all a learning experience, he still has only 16 professional fights under his belt.

 

“Castillo has a great jab and good combinations. A guy like that throws a lot of punches, but there is a technique to breaking down a fighter like that.

 

“We can’t spend a lot of time on the ropes, and we must go after his body because his body is weak. Castillo is going to get knocked out på lørdag.

 

“I think that Amir is going to open up a lot of eyes på lørdag.”
