Esto es lo que los luchadores tenían que decir después de sus peleas:
JAMAL JAMES
“No quería entrar en una pelea con él porque sabía que tenía que recuperar esos puntos (después de caer en la primera ronda). Sabía que tenía que hacerle pagar por esas fallas. Pude obtener puntos de eso en la segunda mitad de la pelea.
“Estaba lanzando algunos disparos salvajes. Solo tuve que adaptarme a eso. Sentí que mi defensa era buena por dentro.
“Sus disparos se estaban ampliando, y los estaba atrapando desde adentro. La segunda mitad de la pelea definitivamente me puse duro y presioné. Esperamos tanto que creo que podría haber tenido un pequeño efecto en mi energía..
“Pensé que lo había encerrado esta noche y mereció la decisión. Creo que estuvo cerca, así que no tengo ningún problema con que los jueces lo decidan por decisión dividida, pero gané.
“Definitivamente pelearía con él nuevamente. Tengo que poder vencer a tipos como él, y de mejor manera, si quiero ser un campeón”
Inicio Omotoso
“Mírame y mira a Jamal James. Mírame a la cara y dime quién ganó. Cuando anunciaron la decisión, todos abuchearon.
“No se que esta pasando. Quizás es porque soy de África. No lo sé.
“Quiero pelear de nuevo tan pronto como pueda. Pelearé con quien sea. No me importa quién es. He estado pidiendo una pelea durante nueve meses.. Me quedo en el gimnasio. Iré al gimnasio mañana. El boxeo es mi vida.
“Dejé caer a este niño y lo lastimé. Lo golpeé. Lo reencontraré en cualquier momento, o pelear con alguien más. No me importa”
VIC DARCHINYAN
“Fue la primera vez que me dejaron inconsciente en mi 25 años de boxeo.
“El solo me atrapo. Creo que fue un contador de mano derecha.
“Sé que lancé un golpe y él me atrapó. No puedo creer que eso haya sucedido.”
SERGIO FRIAS
“Él no es un boxeador técnicamente sólido, entonces sabía que si me quedaba con la técnica y lo encajonaba, lo atraparía.
“Quería aterrizar la mano derecha, pero quería tener cuidado porque él tiene mucho poder.
“Realmente no estaba buscando dar ese golpe en particular, pero lo hice, y lo terminé”

BONITO, CALIF. (Julio 13, 2016) – contendiente de peso welter Levan Ghvamichava (17-2-1, 13 KOs) scored two knockdowns before stopping Breidis Prescott (29-8, 21 KOs) in the seventh round of the main event Martes noche en Liga de Campeones de Boxeo MARTES TOE-TO-TOE en FS1 y BOXEO DE CAMPEONES on FOX Deportes from Robinson Rancheria Resort & Casino en Niza, California.
Ghvamichava outworked and outslugged Prescott, knocking him down in round four before knocking him down again in round seven and eventually forcing the stoppage. Prescott got off to a fast start, using his length and a strong right hand to dictate action in the first frame.
Prescott couldn’t keep up the work rate however, as Ghvamichava began to close the distance and created more toe-to-toe exchanges. En la cuarta ronda, Ghvamichava connected with a left hook and a right cross that dropped Prescott, who was able to beat the count and get back on his feet.
Después de la caída, Prescott attempted to revert to his round-one form by boxing and using his jab, but the persistent Ghvamichava kept working hard to get inside on the taller fighter. The hard work paid off in round seven when Prescott was severely staggered with a right hand before being sent to the canvas by a left hook.
Prescott was unable to recover as he beat the count narrowly but was on shaky ground. He hit the canvas two more times, both ruled pushes by the referee before a hard combination by Ghvamichava in the corner forced referee Michael Margado to stop the fight at 2:37 of round seven.
En el momento de la detención, Ghvamichava had thrown nearly 100 more punches than Prescott (495-397) and had out landed him 134 a 110.
The co-main event of the night saw Marcos Hernández (8-0, 2 KOs) earn a unanimous decision in a competitive and entertaining eight-round super welterweight brawl against previously unbeaten Thomas Hill (6-1, 1 KO).
Hernandez and Hill went back and forth from start to finish in the first eight round bout of either prospect’s career. Hill looked to dictate the action with his jab and body work, but it was Hernandez who had more success throughout the night with his left hand and various uppercuts.
The sixth round saw Hill lose a point early on in the round for a low blow. The deduction clearly increased the urgency in Hill who pressed forward, delivering the best action of the fight. Hill pushed the pace but Hernandez withstood the strong combinations and repeatedly caught Hill with strong left hands. Outside of staggering Hill once early in the seventh round, both fighters continued to throw hard punches all the way to the final bell.
The punch stats reflected the close nature of the fight as Hernandez out landed Hill 161 a 157 while it was Hill who had the slight edge in accuracy, aterrizaje 33 percent of his punches to 31 percent for Hernandez. Even without the point deduction, the judges still preferred Hernandez, who landed the more significant punches, and gave him the decision by scores of 79-72, 78-73 y 77-74.
The opening bout of the telecast saw middleweight prospect Malcolm McAllister (8-0, 8 KOs) remain unbeaten with a stoppage victory over Gilberto Yoruba (7-3, 4 KOs). Yoruba did not come out for the eighth and final round after McAllister dominated the first seven rounds of the fight.
McAllister controlled the fight by working off of his strong jab with powerful right hands and hooks to the body. Yoruba continued to come forward throughout the fight, wildly throwing numerous overhand rights looking to stun the undefeated prospect.
After staggering Yoruba several times in round four, McAllister really began to do damage when he teed off on Yoruba with multiple unanswered shots to close out the frame. The one-sided action showed in the punch stats as McAllister out landed Yoruba 184 a 76 eventually leading to a frustrated Yoruba being deducted a point in round six for low blows.

Una perspectiva muy respetada con un estilo emocionante., el jugador de 20 años de edad, Lubin irrumpió en la escena buscando terminar a los oponentes temprano mientras cementa su estatus como contendiente de elite. Luchando fuera de Orlando, ya ha derrotado a veteranos experimentados, incluido Orlando Lora, Ayi Bruce, Michael Finney y Norberto Gonzalez. Fue sensacional en noviembre 2015 cuando noqueó a Alexis Camacho y en enero encabezó su primera carta y dominó a José De Jesús Macías en su primera pelea de 10 asaltos. He kept the hot streak going in June when stopped veteran Daniel Sandoval in the third round.
Un profesional desde 2011, Montero fue invicto en su primera 19 pro fights including victories in 2015 over Michel Rosales and Julio Cesar Avalos. Fighting out of Yucatan, México, he began his 2016 campaign by defeating Roberto Valdez in April. Now he looks to make a mark in his U.S. debutar en Julio 16.
A tall welterweight at 6-foot-2, James is undefeated as a pro and beat tough contender Javier Molina in an FS1 and FOX Deportes main event in January. The 27-year-old out of Minneapolis had a big 2015 that began with victories over Michael Balasi and Daniel Sostre and culminated with a hard fought decision over once-beaten Juan Carlos Abreu in September. He will look to keep that momentum going when he faces his most dangerous opponent to date on Julio 16.
Nacido en Nigeria, pero luchando fuera de Oxnard, Omotoso earned a unanimous decision over Gilberto Sanchez Leon in his last bout. He was unbeaten in his first 18 pro bouts while fighting out of Australia. The 31-year-old won his first five bouts stateside and will look for back-to-back victories when he battles James in Birmingham.
The fighter from Armenia who now fights out of Glendale, California, Darchinyan is coming off of stoppage victories over Cris Paulino and Prayoot Yaijam. Having fought against top contenders and former champions such as Abner Mares, Jesús Cuellar, Nonito Donaire y Nicholas Walters, Darchinyan looks to work his way back into world title contention after picking up titles in multiple weight classes. He takes on Quevedo out of Los Algodones, Mexico who most recently stopped previously unbeaten Yoandris Salinas in the fifth-round of their 2014 fin.
Un jugador de dos vías (ala cerrada y el ala defensiva) en la Universidad del Sur de California,Washington pasó tiempo con los Seattle Seahawks y los Buffalo Bills practicando escuadrones en su camino poco convencional que lo llevó al boxeo. El hombre de 34 años también trabajó en la Marina como mecánico de helicópteros antes de ir a la USC y no comenzó su carrera en el boxeo profesional hasta 2012. Luchando fuera de Vallejo, California, aún no ha perdido en su último esfuerzo y más recientemente derrotó al ex retador del título Eddie Chambers en abril.

Vasquez and Diaz both have world title aspirations but will have to navigate difficult southpaw opponents in the hopes of reaching the top levels of the welterweight division. Here is what both fighters had to say about each other, training camp, the 147-pound division and more:
SAMMY VASQUEZ JR.
On his opponent change from Luis Collazo to Felix Diaz …
“It’s unfortunate that Collazo got hurt, but Diaz is a very good fighter and I know he’s going to bring it. I’ve been sparring with nothing but lefties, and since both Diaz and Collazo are southpaws, it’s business as usual. Diaz is coming off a close majority decision loss…his first defeat, so I know he’s hungry to get back in that win column. This is a dangerous fight and I’m not taking it lightly. Como siempre, I’m willing and ready to fight anyone they put in front of me.”
On his recent training camp at the Triple Threat Boxing Gym in Colorado Springs…
“It’s been a grueling camp with a lot of hard work being put out. Sparring has been fantastic and I’m feeling really sharp right now. My weight is good and I’m feeling strong. We have a few more days left and then it’s on to fight week.”
On fighting on FOX with a global audience expected to be tuning in…
“This is what it’s all about, fighting on the big stage with millions of fans looking to see a great fight. FOX is an incredible network to be showcased on and I want to let the world know I’m here to take over the welterweight division. The fans can expect to see a lot of power punches. Hopefully I can score the knockout.”
On his relationship with his team members…
“I have an unbelievable team behind me. First off my dad Sammy Sr. is there watching my every move, so I’m very comfortable with him by my side. Charles Leverette is the head coach, with Ryan Rimsek working the mitts. Jason Barber is my strength and conditioning coach. Everyone is doing a great job. We have a great game plan that we feel we can execute against Diaz. I’m very happy with my team.”
On when he thinks he’ll be ready to challenge for a world title…
“I feel I’m ready now. I’m ranked in the top ten in three of the major sanctioning organizations, so I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know a victory against Diaz will get me closer to a title shot. I have to keep winning to fulfil the goal I set for myself when I first started boxing, and that’s to become a world champion.”
On the current landscape of the welterweight division….
“The division is loaded with great fighters. With the exception of Jesse Vargas, all the champions are undefeated. The road to get to the top is very tough because everyone in the top ten is an exceptional fighter. I think it’s the toughest division in boxing.”
FELIX DIAZ
On fighting Sammy Vasquez on short notice…
“I stay ready in the gym. I had a fight scheduled with Miguel Vasquez that fell through so now it’s on to another Vasquez. I had to switch to southpaw sparring but that is nothing new to me. I fought a lot of southpaws on short notice in the amateurs. I’m grateful for this opportunity and I’m going to make the best of it.”
En su campo de entrenamiento actual …
“I’m having a great camp. Everything is coming together for me. My punches are accurate and my timing is better than ever. I’m looking very good in sparring and I know I’ll be at my best on fight night.”
On the opportunity to get into world title contention…
“Esta es una gran pelea para mí. Sammy Vasquez is a highly rated fighter. A win against him will put me right up there with all the other contenders. I live for these occasions.”
On what he thinks of Sammy Vasquez as a fighter…
“He’s a very smart fighter with good power. Although he does a lot of things right in the ring, I see some flaws in his style that I know I can expose. I believe my style will give him a lot of trouble. I know he wants to keep his undefeated record intact, but my hunger to start another winning streak is greater.”
On bouncing back from his first defeat in his last bout…
“In my last bout I suffered my first loss against Lamont Peterson, a majority decision. It was a very close fight and I really felt I came out on top. When you’re undefeated and loss for the first time, you want nothing more than to get back in the ring and prove to everyone that you belong with the elite fighters in the division. I’ve been training in the gym like an animal, waiting for an opportunity like this to come my way. Ahora que está aquí, I’m going to take full advantage of the situation.”

SAN ANTONIO (Mayo 29, 2016) – El ex campeón del mundo Miguel “Títere” Vázquez (36-5, 13 KOs) defeated Ecuador’s Erick Hueso (16-4, 8 KOs) in a 10-round battle that headlined Liga de Campeones de Boxeo en FS1 y FOX Deportes Sábado night from the Dancehall in San Antonio.
The former champion from Mexico worked behind a strong jab and brought the fight to Bone throughout the main event. Bone was able to return fire and was effective at times when countering.
The jab of Vazquez eventually led to success with the right hand that was able to hurt his opponent and keep the battle-tested Bone from building momentum.
Both fighters landed at a nearly identical rate as Vazquez connected on 22 percent of his punches while Bone landed 21 por ciento. Sin embargo, it was Vazquez with the advantage in punches landed at 94 a 74.
The fight featured many close rounds, which was reflected by the varied scores of the judges. Al final, all three had the fight for Vazquez by scores of 99-91, 97-93 y 96-94.
En el evento co-principal, rising featherweight Miguel Flores (20-0, 9 KOs) kept his record perfect as he defeated Mexican veteran Ruben Tamayo (26-9-4, 18 KOs) en su pelea de 10 asaltos.
Facing a southpaw for the first time as a professional, Flores had some trouble early with the game Tamayo who was able to penetrate the defense of the 23-year-old with left hands while also opening a cut with an accidental head butt in round two.
As the fight went on Flores showed improved movement and a variety of effective punches that allowed him to take control of the fight. Más destacado, Flores used a bruising left hook to the body that left Tamayo marked up and slowed down his offense.
Both fighters threw over 550 punches but it was Flores who out landed his opponent 175-121. The judges rewarded the still undefeated fighter with the unanimous decision by scores of 100-90 y 98-92 dos veces.
Here is what the main event fighters had to say Sábado:
MIGUEL VAZQUEZ
“I wanted to throw the heavier punches because I thought I could win by knockout, pero eso no sucedió. There was an overhand right in the eighth round that I thought hurt him badly.
“He was an elusive fighter and survived, so there are still things that I have to work on.
“There was some difficulty adjusting to the late opponent switch, but overall, no hay problema. I had been sparring southpaws as well as right-handers.
“If I could have followed up on some of the hooks and overhand rights, I could have gotten him out of there.
“I’ve always wanted to fight Adrien Broner. I want to make that.”
ERICK HUESO
“Vazquez was awkward and hard to fight. I gave it my all in there.
“I’m thankful for the opportunity and I’m looking forward to getting back in the gym and working on some things before I return to the ring.”
