VIDEO OF WILLIAMS CALLING OUT CHARLO:http://s.sho.com/1UJo5bp

Williams (23-0-1, 14 Kos) utilized a steady diet of combos, jabs and body shots in the middle rounds to weaken Matano and set up the big shots to close the show in the seventh. Esto en vídeo: http://s.sho.com/1QzbBBb
Williams landed 59 por cento dos seus tiros de enerxía, including a staggering 76 percent in the deciding seventh.
“Maybe people will think they saw a chink in the armor tonight,” Williams dixo. “Maybe guys will come out from under the rock and get some of this West Philly work.
“Jermall has been watching my performances. Him and his brother know exactly who I am. He needs to fight or vacate now. He needs to step up, but he’s already laying his groundwork and making excuses.
“Step up and fight me. It’s two of the best junior middleweights in the world. It’s about greatness. Quero ser grande. All of you turkeys at 154 libras, let’s fight.”
Tras a loita, Matano took issue with the stoppage.
“He was pretty fast with his jab, but I felt like I was just getting into the fight,” Matano said. “I felt the punch, but I felt like I could have kept going. I have a warrior heart and I never want to quit.
“I’m going to go back to Italy and take a little rest, then I’ll be right back in the gym. It was a wonderful experience coming here to America. I got to fight a top-echelon fighter and I feel like I belong.”
Avtandil Khurtsidze, a human brick wall barreling forward, upset previously unbeaten middleweight contender Antoine Douglas with a thoroughly dominating 10th-round TKO. Esto en vídeo:http://s.sho.com/21er63g
The 35-year-old “mini-Mike Tyson” plowed forward from the opening bell until the TKO at 0:33 do 10th. The 6-foot Douglas had no answer for his 5-foot-4 opponent, a Brooklyn-based native of Georgia who is looking to become the first world champion from the former Soviet nation.
Khurtsidze (32-2-2, 21 Kos) hurt Douglas (19-1-1, 13 Kos) with a big left in the opening seconds of the third round, sending the 23-year-old face forward through the ropes. Somehow, Douglas recovered from the first knockdown of his career and fought himself back into the fight. O Washington, DC, native rallied to win the fourth and the fifth rounds, and the all-action sixth could have gone either way.
Khurtsidze opened the seventh with a monstrous one-punch left to floor Douglas, who again somehow survived the round on failing legs as Khurtsidze threw over 100 socos totais. Khurtsidze, who showed unbelievable stamina to push the pressure throughout, started the 10th with a relentless attack, forcing referee Benjy Esteves to stop the fight at 0:33 of the with Douglas defenseless against the ropes.
“I knew he was going to get tired,” said Khurtsidze, who took the fight on less than three weeks notice. “I felt like I was going to catch him. El é un bo loitador, but he’s not strong.
“I knew he was going to be hungry. But I also knew that I was going to beat him. It was short notice but I did everything I could in the time we had. I stayed in the gym and stayed sharp.
“Whoever they put in front me, I’m ready for them. Encántame loitar. I’ll fight anybody.”
Douglas had entered the fight as a fast-rising 160-pounder on the cusp of a title shot.
“I feel OK,” Douglas told SHOWTME Sports analyst Steve Farhood after the fight. “He definitely dictated. He definitely had a better day today. It’s not discouraging, we just weren’t able to execute. Naturally, I’m crushed. It’s back to the drawing board.”
Na loita de a cerimonia de apertura, medios contedor Tony Harrison looked impressive in a sixth round TKO over former world title challenger Fernando Guerrero.
Harrison (23-1, 19 Kos) was the aggressor from the outset, jabbing at range to set up his favorite weapon – a powerful right. The Detroit native floored Guerrero with a big right with 15 seconds to go in the second round. The southpaw got up, but looked hurt and was saved by the bell.
Guerreiro (28-4, 20 Kos) had his moments in the fourth and fifth rounds after some heedful advice from his corner, but he couldn’t get inside to escape Harrison’s powerful right. It was a clean left hook midway through the sixth that ultimately finished Guerrero. After Harrison dropped Guerrero with the left, the Dominican Republic native beat the count but had no legs and went back to the canvas after four more consecutive shots from Harrison, forcing referee Gary Rosato to stop the bout at 1:56 of the sixth.
“I threw punches back and I finished the rounds stronger than him,” dixo Harrison, que desembarcou 57 por cento dos seus tiros de enerxía. “I dominated the fight. My dad kept telling me to put the hook behind the right hand and if I had listened to him better I could have gotten the knockout much quicker.
“I was backing him up. My game plan was to take advantage of the fact that southpaws don’t fight well going backwards. I tried to just keep putting him back and discouraging him. I told everyone I was taking the fight to him. What’s not to like about me? I’m exciting.
“I want big fights, I want to go back to Detroit and I want the Willie Nelson rematch.”
Said Guerrero: “I wasn’t on today. He wasn’t faster than me, stronger than me or more skilled. I just locked up. I wasn’t listening to my corner, I didn’t do anything tonight.
“It just happens. Sometimes you have a bad day. Today was as bad as I could ever imagine.
“We’ll go back to the drawing board. I didn’t do what I was supposed to do. We trained so hard. He wasn’t as fast or strong as we thought he’d be. Today was a bad day for me to have a bad day.”

JULIAN WILLIAMS
“I want to thank Matano and his team for coming all the way over here. We’ve had a difficult time getting opponents for different reasons, but I’m excited to headline this stacked card.
“When I win this fight I’ll be able to accomplish my dream of being a world champion. It’s one step closer.
“I’m going to attack the head and body as much as I can. I’ve got enough film on him to see what he’s got. He’s pretty solid. He got better each time out. But those guys in Italy don’t have the skills that I have. I think he’s going to bring it for as long as he can handle it.
“He’s an awkward fighter. He’s definitely a boxer and he can be a little skittish in the ring. I know I’ve fought the better competition and I’ve trained my hardest for this.
“I’m ready to make a statement. I’m not worried about a knockout. However the win comes, it’s great. I’m just looking to win and beat him down.
“I’m expecting a good Philadelphia crowd to be out here supporting me. Ninety percent of my career I’ve been on the West Coast and other places. But now fighting in front of my hometown fans, there’s nothing better. It’s perfect.”
MARCELLO MATANO
“I feel very good. I’ve been here since Friday so I have gotten used to the time zone difference and I’m ready to fight. My American experience is just starting and I’m looking forward to it.
“It’s been a hard two months of training for this fight. This is by far the most important fight of my career so I’ve trained even harder than I usually do.
“I know that Julian Williams is a top-notch athlete and that he is coming to give his best, así como eu son. It’s going to be an exciting fight because we both want to get to the top.
“I can adapt myself to any opponent. I can be a boxer or I can be a brawler. But in my heart, I am a warrior and I will come forward all fight. I am coming to leave that ring victorious.
“This is a dream come true to come here to the United States. I’ve always worked hard and it’s gotten me here. I will put all of my heart into the ring o sábado noite.”
ANTOINE DOUGLAS
“You can always look forward to an action-packed fight when I step into the ring. I have an admirable opponent who I know is coming to fight.
“I’ve grown into this role and into who I am. If you asked me earlier in my career, I would have never thought I’d be here. This is great and it comes from all the hard work I’ve put in over the years.
“You will see my growth Sábado night in the ring. I plan on being victorious. The work I put in won’t let me be any less than that. I’m looking forward to the action.
“I have a very strong opponent and I think it will make for a more exciting fight than Sam Soliman.
“I just always have to be prepared for whatever is thrown at me. This is boxing – there are no guarantees. We just have to be prepared for everything and do our best.
“The styles of Soliman and Khurtsidze are completely different, but we always base our offense and defense off a fighting at range and working the jab. I’m not going in blind – I’ve faced opponents who come forward. We’ll be ready for him and ready to make the adjustments in the ring.
“Unha vitoria o sábado will definitely put me in a position for a title shot. We just take it day-by-day. It’s not about looking at future opponents. We take each step successfully and see where it puts us.”
AVTANDIL KHURTSIDZE
“I’m very happy to be here and I’m grateful for the opportunity. I’m fighting a very strong fighter. Once I step into the ring I’m expecting a good challenge and I can’t wait for Sábado noite.
“Everything in training went well. We’ve trained really hard and we’re ready for Sábado noite.
“Douglas is a good fighter. He’s a good boxer and he has a good left hook. But none of that means anything until you get in the ring.
“Once I step into the ring, I will bring 100 por cento. I am not going to stop swinging until Douglas goes down.”
FERNANDO GUERRERO
“We’re ready to fight. We had a great training camp and there’s not too much to say. It’s warrior time.
“I’ve been through my ups and downs, but I’m still here and I’m not going anywhere. This is for my whole nation, everyone in the Dominican Republic who is watching. You have to step in that ring for something.
“This isn’t a game. This is the only sport that you cannot play. I’m going to make this one of those fights that will be one of the best of the year. It will either be the best knockout or the best fight of the year. This is going to be memorable.
“This is the kind of opponent who will bring out the best of me. Everybody has to watch out for me. Estou indo a facer unha declaración o sábado.”

Here is what Julian and his trainer, Stephen Edwards, tiña que dicir Martes:
JULIAN WILLIAMS
“I am extremely focused. There is a lot at stake este sábado. I am finally in the position I wanted to be in since turning pro.
“I have come to a conclusion that if people don’t have to fight Julian Williams then they won’t. It hasn’t been that frustrating though because I always have a fight on the books. I can’t worry about the people who won’t fight me. I just have to stay ready and put myself in the mandatory spot. That’s what I am going to do o sábado noite.
“It’s never any challenge fighting at home. I know exactly what I have to do. I don’t cut any corners in camp. The biggest challenge is the waiting because I am so anxious to get in there and get a win, especially in front of my home crowd.
“I always knew I wanted to pursue a boxing career, so I treat it like I want it. I’ve been dreaming about this for a long time and my opportunity is finally here.
“I’ve been a student of the game since I started watching boxing. I want to learn and I want to know everything about boxing.
“It means everything to have my biggest fight to date in my backyard. I know my fans cheer loud and it feels great to have their support in my corner.
“I know everything about my opponent. I probably know what kind of toothpaste he used this morning. I searched high and low for videos of Matano. I am ready because I know he is ready.
“He is a little bit awkward. He seems to have a really good gas tank. He said he wants to take me the distance, so we’ll see.
“The last fight solidified the things that I already knew about myself. I know I am fundamentally sound and I know I am the hungriest fighter in the world.
“I always want to put on an explosive performance. It’s always about a win.
“In about nine months, Philadelphia will have it’s fourth IBF super welterweight champion after David Reid, Robert Hines and Buster Drayton.”
STEPHEN EDWARDS, Williams’ adestrador
“We are ready. It’s been a long four-month camp. We thought were going to fight in January, so we’ve been grinding through this rough weather early in the morning. Julian is chomping at the bit and ready to rock ‘n roll.
“We thought we were going to fight Austin Trout in December, and he saw that Julian gave his opponent a concussion and said I don’t want to fight him. It’s just that simple. We have to get past Matano and then we can talk about (super welterweight champion Jermall) Charlo.
“Anybody with two hands and a heartbeat can fight. Matano is ranked and just because he isn’t well known, it doesn’t mean he can’t fight. El é 16-1 and they didn’t have a hard time convincing him to take the fight. The best soldiers are volunteers. Any time someone willingly comes to someone else’s country, you have to take him seriously.
“I don’t want to make a prediction, but Julian will hurt this guy very bad.”

Khurtsidze Replaces The Injured Sam Soliman

 

Julian Williams Takes On Marcello Matano In 154-Pound Eliminator In Main Event Of Tripleheader Live On SHOWTIME® From Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Pa.

 

Nova York (Febreiro. 23, 2016) – Undefeated middleweight contenderAntoine Douglas will face hard-hitting Avtandil Khurtsidze in the co-feature of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION® o sábado, Marzo 5, vivir ALTURA DE COMEZAR® (10 p.m. E/PT) from Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Pa.

 

Khurtsidze (30-2-2, 20 Kos) steps in to face GH3 Promotions’ Douglas (19-0-1, 13 Kos) in a 10-round middleweight bout for the WBO International title after Sam Soliman pulled out of the fight last week with a knee injury.

 

Khurtsidze, de Brooklyn, N.I.. by way of Kutaisi, Georgia, has won eight straight – including six by knockout – since dropping a controversial decision to then-unbeaten Hassan N'Dam in a bout for the vacant interim WBA World Middleweight Title in Paris in 2010.

 

Khurtsidze was scheduled to face N’Dam in a rematch last Novembro 21 en París, but the event was cancelled following the tragic Novembro 13 terror attacks in France. The rematch with the former world champion was to be contested for the IBF No. 2 spot at 160 libras.

 

A pressure fighter, Khurtsidze was also slated to fight last week on a DiBella Entertainment Broadway Boxing event and has been training since the fight with N’Dam was called off. The 36-year-old, who has also campaigned at super middleweight, is coming off a knockout victory over Melvin Betancourt last August.

 

“Avtandil is a world class guy, a former silver titlist and has been at the top of the division for years,” dixo Lou DiBella, Presidente da DiBella Entertainment. “This is a great opportunity for him and a huge step up for Douglas. Avtandil had been on his way to France to fight for the No. 2 ranking against N’Dam when the tragic terrorist attacks hit Paris, which was a terribly unfortunate situation for all. Agora, he looks to impress in this fight against the highly regarded Douglas. The winner of this bout moves up significantly in the middleweight world rankings and will be in line for a major fight in the 160-pound division later this year.”

 

In the main event of the SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION tripleheader, Julian “J-Rock” Williams and once-beaten Italian Marcello Matano will square off in a 12-round IBF eliminator for the No. 1 ranking at 154 libras. Na loita de a cerimonia de apertura, hard-hitting prospect Tony Harrison will face veteran former world title challenger Fernando Guerrero nun 10 redonda concurso welterweight super.

Nova York (Febreiro. 10, 2016) – Undefeated super welterweight contender Juliano “J-Rock” Williams and once-beaten Italian Marcello Matano will square off in a 12-round IBF eliminator for the No. 1 ranking at 154-pounds in the main event of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION en Sábado, Marzo 5, directo na canle Showtime (10 p.m. E/PT) a partir de Sands Bethlehem Events Center en Belén, Pa.

Na loita de a cerimonia de apertura, hard-hitting prospect Tony Harrison will face veteran former world title challenger Fernando Guerrero nun 10 redonda concurso welterweight super.
“This upcoming fight will be the biggest fight of my career,” Williams dixo. “I’m chomping at the bit to get back out there. I am taking my opponent very seriously and I refuse to let Marcello Matano stop me from being a world champion.”
“Isto é un soño feito realidade,” said Matano. “I’ve been working for my whole life for a real opportunity to make to the top level and I will not let Julian Williams take it away. What will happen when Williams has to go to the championship rounds? Will he be ready? I know for sure that I will. This is the opportunity of a lifetime and I will do all I can to grab it.”
“Facing a former world champion like Sam Soliman is a great opportunity for me,” Douglas said. “The plan has always been to keep moving forward, and to do it successfully. This is that next step, and I’m ready for it. I’ve grown and learned so much fighting on ShoBox and it’s a beautiful thing to continue to progress and move to the next level.”
“This is an important fight for me,” said Soliman. “I had three opportunities on the table and I chose Douglas believing it to be a better fight for ranking, and it’s a challenge I’m excited to take on. From what I have seen, Douglas is a very talented fighter, which will make for a good fight. I am in great shape and looking forward to fight night.”
“I’m excited and eager to showcase my abilities to the world again,” dixo Harrison. “I’d advise fans to arrive early because I don’t plan to be in the ring long. I’m knocking this guy out. I know Guerrero is coming in with a chip on his shoulder and I can’t overlook him. I brought my uncle into camp and I think that’s going to give me the edge that I’ve needed to get over the hump. I’m putting the whole division on notice!”
“It’s warrior time,” Dixo Guerrero. “We are going to have a war. This is going to be non-stop action. This fight will lead to big things for me. I’m used to fighting guys that are bigger than I am. I’m at my more natural weight and I’m looking to do great things in this division.”
“I’m thrilled to promote this great show on Marzo 5,” dixo Marshall Kauffman de Promocións rei. “This is a great card from top to bottom with some future champions looking to show the world that they are ready for the next level. I am honored to have Julian Williams headline this card. He put on an explosive performance in his last bout at the Sands and I am sure he will be looking to do the same on Marzo 5.”

One of the most promising and highly regarded young stars in boxing, Williams (21-0-1, 1 ND, 13 Kos) will headline for the first time on SHOWTIME. He’s stepping up after honing his skills and steadily ascending the ranks after five fights on SHO EXTREME. The 25-year-old shut out longtime contender Joey Hernandez last April, followed that with a sixth-round stoppage of Arman Ovsepyan in June and closed the year by stopping Orlando Lora in the first round in September. The Philadelphian has also picked up victories over Joachim Alcine, Eliezer Gonzalez and Freddy Hernandez in his young career and looks to earn his first title shot with a win on Marzo 5.
Matano (16-1, 5 Kos) is a former Italian super welterweight titlist. He’s registered four consecutive wins since the only loss of his career, including victories in three scheduled 12-round fights. The 29-year-old is coming off a 12-round unanimous decision over fellow-Italian Nick Klappert in October 2015. Like Williams, he fought three bouts in 2015, although he logged 31 total rounds compared to just 17 for Williams.
Douglas (19-0-1, 13 Kos) has been impressive in five consecutive victories since he boxed to a draw when he was just 21 years old with former world title challenger Michel Soro in July 2014. The former top amateur has won his last three fights by knockout, including a sixth-round KO of previously undefeated Thomas LaManna and a fourth-round TKO of veteran Les Sherrington last November in his fifth appearance on ShoBox: A Nova Xeración. On the prospect developmental series, the 23-year-old Douglas has graduated from unproven prospect to undefeated contender and is now ranked No. 4 in the WBO and No. 6 no WBA. Douglas is promoted by GH3 promotions.
Soliman (44-13, 1 NC, 18 Kos), de Melbourne, Australia, is vastly more experienced than Douglas, having competed in four world championship fights. The 42-year-old held the IBF Middleweight World title before suffering a debilitating knee injury and losing via decision to Jermain Taylor in his first title defense in October 2014. Soliman, que é 9-2-1 desde 2008, won the IBF crown with a decisive 12-round decision over Felix Sturm in 2014. The Australian, who fights at a relentless pace and can be awkward at times, will look to bounce back from a close, 10-round split decision loss to Dominic Wade last June on ShoBox.
Con só 25 anos de idade, Harrison (22-1, 18 Kos) has showed tremendous promise as he recorded a 10-fight knockout streak from 2013 para 2015 and proved he could recover from a loss when he dominated Cecil McCalla for 10-rounds in October. The Detroit-native will look to make it back-to-back victories as he continues his ascent towards championship contender status. He has picked up knockout victories over Antwone Smith, Tyrone Brunson, Bronco McKart e Pablo Munguía nos últimos dous anos.
A former world title challenger, Guerreiro (28-3, 20 Kos) returned to his winning ways in 2015 with victories over Abraham Han and Daniel Souza Santos. The 29-year-old lives and trains out of Los Angeles but grew up in Maryland after being born in the Dominican Republic. The veteran owns victories over Ishe Smith, Derrick Findley and Gabriel Rosado in a pro career that dates back to 2007.

James caeu na cuarta rolda, pero loitou ao asumir a loita, Abreu bater abaixo na sexta rolda e nunca mirar para atrás.
O evento co-principal presentou unha pelexa chea de acción como Erickson Lubin (12-0, 9 Kos) parou Orlando Lora (31-6-2, 19 Kos) a un minuto cincuenta e oito segundos para o sexto round. Lubin bateu Lora nas cordas na segunda rolda para o que foi gobernado un knockdown.
O abridor televisado viu Wilky Campfort (21-1, 12 Kos) deixar Ronaldo Montes (16-3, 14 Kos) con só un segundo restante na segunda quenda. Campfort foi derrubado na rolda de apertura, pero loitou para derrubar Montes tres veces na segunda rolda. Montes’ canto interveu para deter a loita como a segunda rolda chegou ao fin.
Aquí está o que os loitadores televisionados tiña que dicir sobre as súas performances:
Jamal JAMES
“Eu adaptei meu estilo e comecei a loitar boxeo máis como a loita continuou. Finalmente, eu era capaz de tempo, á dereita para cando veu ata min para que eu puidese golpear primeiro.
“Me pegou cun correcto no cuarto que me caeu, pero eu non me sentín moi tonto.
“Esperemos que unha vitoria como esta me empuxa aínda máis. Quería mostrar as miñas habilidades, pero el era un loitador formidable. Esta foi unha gran loita step-up para min para amosar á xente que non son só un loitador de papel.
“Estou na procura de máis oportunidades con PBC. Esta foi unha honra para comezar a loitar no evento principal en Bounce TV.
“Vou loitar con quen o meu director de Al Haymon quere que eu loite próxima. Eu non podo esperar para volver no ximnasio e seguir perfeccionando miñas habilidades.”
JUAN CARLOS ABREU
“Estou moi decepcionado co meu rendemento. El é un bo loitador. Eu sabía que, pero quedei sorprendido que foi capaz de me machucar cos seus golpes.
“Non loitei do xeito que eu quería. Na primeira rolda, I got cabeza-butted e eu nunca se recuperou. Eu estaba tonto toda a loita despois diso e cando me bateu, iso me machuca máis que normalmente.”
Erickson Lubin
“Meu canto me axudou a todos loita. Cada vez que eu fun para o meu canto estaban me axudando a facer os axustes correctos.
“Eu ficaba dicindo a min mesmo que si (Lora) lanza dous socos, entón eu vou xogar catro. Se xogou catro, Eu xogaría oito. Quería duplicar o seu esforzo e amosar que eu teño máis ganas de que. Eu non quería esa loita para ir esta distancia.
“Loitando na PBC en Bounce TV vai axudar a miña carreira despegar. Eu quería facer unha declaración na TV para que eu puidese comezar a intensificar a miña competencia. Eu estou a traballar para unha disputa de título.”
ORLANDO LORA
“Eu non estaba sorprendido co seu poder. Eu levei seus golpes á cabeza moi ben, pero as miñas pernas foron tiroteados. Entón eu non podía moverse e tivo que estar no peto con el.
“Me pegou no comezo da loita no plexo solar e que tomou as miñas pernas para lonxe de min ao resto da loita. El me bateu tan duro para o corpo que eu non podía respirar e as miñas pernas quedaron dormentes.
“A paralización foi á dereita. Eu adorado para rematar os dez roldas, pero o meu canto sabía que eu non estaba indo a ir moito máis tempo.”
Wilky CAMPFORT
“Eu sempre fun un inicio lento. No inicio do primeiro round eu non estaba escoitando o meu canto e (Montes) me pegou desprevenido. Pero eu me levantei e mostrou á xente o que eu vin facer aquí.
“(Montes) é un artista nocaute no seu propio dereito, pero eu son un loitador retroceso. Vou loitar con calquera que poñer na miña fronte, non importa o quão duro outro cara é.
“Loitando neste tarxeta PBC en Bounce TV é enorme. Estas son as loitas que eu teño estar, loitando contra un adversario difícil e na TV. Mostre os fans meu corazón e que podo socar.
“Quero que quen me din para loitar xunto. Este é un negocio e eu estou nel para gañar.”
Ronaldo MONTES
“Cando ferídelo con aquel jab eu penso que eu tiña del, pero Campfort é un cara moi forte.
“I got overconfident. My plan was to box him but when I dropped him, Eu fun para o matar e foi pego nunha loita. Iso non era o meu plan. Eu estaba indo a caixa de saída del. A culpa é miña.”
