CARSON, CALIF. (Αύγουστος 14, 2021) - Παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής WBO Bantamweight John Riel πρωτάθλημα νίκησε τον πρωταθλητή δύο κατηγοριών Guillermo Rigondeaux για να διατηρήσει τον τίτλο του το βράδυ του Σαββάτου ζωντανά στο SHOWTIME με επικεφαλίδα μια διοργάνωση Premier Boxing Champions από το Dignity Health Sports Park στο Carson, Καλιφόρνια.

Παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής τριών κατηγοριών, Πρωτάθλημα (31-4, 21 KOs) έκανε τη δεύτερη επιτυχημένη άμυνα του τίτλου στα 118 κιλά, κερδίζοντας την καλύτερη νίκη καριέρας επί του μακροχρόνιου πρωταθλητή 122 λιβρών Ριγκοντό (20-2, 13 KOs), που πέρασε στο bantamweight στο 2020.

“Είμαι ενθουσιασμένος για τη νίκη,»Είπε ο Κασιμέρο. «Ο Ριγκοντό είναι καλός πυγμάχος και δύο φορές χρυσός Ολυμπιονίκης. Ανησύχησα, γιατί είπε ότι δεν θα τρέξει, αλλά έτρεξε όλη την ώρα ».

Ο αγώνας ξεκίνησε με έναν γεμάτο αγώνα πρώτο γύρο, στο οποίο φάνηκε για μια στιγμή ότι ο Casimero άφησε γάντζο στο πίσω μέρος του κεφαλιού του Rigondeaux θα οδηγούσε σε νοκ ντάουν, αλλά ο διαιτητής Jerry Cantu αποφάνθηκε τη στιγμή ένα λάθος. Κατά τη διάρκεια της ανταλλαγής, Ο Κασιμέρο έριξε αρκετές μπουνιές ενώ ο Ριγκοντό ήταν στο ένα γόνατο, κερδίζοντας μια προειδοποίηση από τον διαιτητή.

Από αυτό το σημείο, Ο Rigondeaux παρέμεινε σταθερός σε μια αμυντική στρατηγική που είδε τον Casimero να αναγκάζεται να κυνηγήσει τον αντίπαλό του γύρω από το ρινγκ. Εν τω μεταξύ,, Ο Casimero έμεινε αφοσιωμένος στο να προωθήσει, κοιτάζοντας να επιβραδύνει τον Rigondeaux με βολές σώματος για να ρυθμίσει πυροβολισμούς ισχύος στο κεφάλι.

“Οι προσδοκίες μου ήταν για νοκ άουτ,»Είπε ο Κασιμέρο. «Εγώ και όλοι οι οπαδοί μου το θέλαμε. Έκανα ό, τι μπορούσα για να τον βγάλω νοκ άουτ, αλλά απλά έτρεχε και δεν τσακωνόταν ».

Ο Rigondeaux αρκέστηκε να αντιμετωπίσει τον αντίπαλό του που χρεώνει, κάνοντας το μεγαλύτερο μέρος της ζημιάς του με παραλλαγές του επικίνδυνου αριστερού χεριού του. Σε έναν αγώνα με πολλούς κοντινούς γύρους, Ο Κασιμέρο τελείωσε τον αγώνα με ένα στενό 47 να 44 άκρη σε γροθιές προσγειώθηκε, συμπεριλαμβανομένου ενός 41-28 καταμέτρηση σε γροθιές ισχύος.

Αυτά τα χτυπήματα και η συνεχής επιθετικότητα αποδείχθηκαν αρκετά για να κρατήσει τον Κασιμέρο τον τίτλο του στα 118 κιλά στα μάτια των κριτών., ως παρτιτούρες 117-111 και 116-112 ακύρωσε έναν δικαστή 115-113 κάρτα υπέρ του Ριγκοντό. Ενώ ο Ριγκοντό αμφισβήτησε την απόφαση, Ο Casimero ανυπομονούσε για πιθανές συγκρούσεις ενοποίησης με τον πρωταθλητή WBC Nonito Donaire και τον κάτοχο τίτλων WBA και IBF Naoya Inoue.

“Κανείς δεν θέλει να μαλώσει μαζί μου γιατί τους απογοητεύω στο ρινγκ,»Είπε ο Ριγκοντό. «Πήρα τις γροθιές που χρειαζόμουν για να κερδίσω τον αγώνα απόψε. Έτσι κερδίζω. Έχω αυτές τις θεόδοτες δεξιότητες και αυτός είναι ο τρόπος που τις εμφανίζω. Είμαι ένας μοναδικός μαχητής. Είναι το στυλ μου και είναι το μόνο που ξέρω. Μπορείτε να δείτε ότι είμαι ακόμα καλύτερος από οποιονδήποτε άλλον στις ελαφρότερες κατηγορίες βάρους και θα συνεχίσω να αγωνίζομαι.”

“Είχα ένα σχέδιο τριών αγώνων,»Είπε ο Κασιμέρο. «Πρώτος ήταν ο Ριγκοντό, και τον χτυπησα. Ακολουθεί ο Nonito Donaire και μετά τελικά η Naoya Inoue.”

Το συμπαραγωνιστικό γεγονός είδε την άνοδο του υποψηφίου Γκάρι Ράσελ Αντόνιο (18-0, 12 KOs) και ο πρώην παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Εμμανουήλ Ροντρίγκεζ (19-2, 12 KOs) πάλεψε για να μην πάρεις μια απόφαση 16 δευτερόλεπτα στον πρώτο γύρο της αναμέτρησης των 118 κιλών, μετά από ένα τυχαίο χτύπημα στο κεφάλι τραυμάτισε τον Ροντρίγκεζ και έληξε τον αγώνα.

“Συμβαίνει,»Είπε ο Ράσελ. «Lookingάχνω να διαπιστώσω το τρύπημα και προσπάθησα να στήσω ένα γάντζο, και μπήκε ταυτόχρονα. Είναι πολύ απογοητευτικό ».

“Νιώθω καλά,»Είπε ο Ροντρίγκεζ. «Είμαι λίγο απογοητευμένος αφού έβαλα όλη αυτή τη δουλειά για να τελειώσει ο αγώνας τόσο γρήγορα χωρίς να συμβεί τίποτα. Με το κτύπημα του κεφαλιού, ίσως αν δεν υπήρχε αίμα, θα μπορούσαμε να συνεχίσουμε. Αλλά μια φορά είδα όλο το αίμα, Iξερα ότι είχε τελειώσει ».

Η διασταύρωση της μάχης για τον ενδιάμεσο τίτλο WBA Bantamweight είχε ως στόχο να προσφέρει στον Russell την ευκαιρία να καθιερωθεί ως πραγματικός διεκδικητής του τίτλου και να δώσει στον Rodriguez την ευκαιρία να προχωρήσει ένα βήμα πιο κοντά για να γίνει πρωταθλητής δύο κατηγοριών. Ο Rodriguez προσπάθησε να αντιμετωπίσει μια εισερχόμενη επίθεση Russell, που οδήγησε στα δύο κεφάλια να συγκρούονται.

“Actuallyμουν στην κατασκήνωση για περίπου τέσσερις μήνες,»Είπε ο Ράσελ. «Προετοιμάστηκα τέλεια για αυτόν τον αγώνα. Wasάχνω πραγματικά να μεταδώσω τα ταλέντα μου και να δείξω σε όλους τι υπάρχει στο οπλοστάσιό μου. Δυστυχώς, το κεφάλι έγινε ».

Ο Ροντρίγκεζ έπεσε στον καμβά αμέσως και αιμορραγούσε από τη μύτη του, ωθώντας τη διαιτητή Sharon Sands να απομακρυνθεί από τον αγώνα, το οποίο κρίθηκε μη-απόφαση.

“Βεβαίως, Θα ήθελα να επιστρέψω αμέσως,»Είπε ο Ράσελ. «Αν μπορεί να το κάνει, Θέλω να επιστρέψω εκεί με τον Ροντρίγκεθ ».

“Δεν θέλω να χάσω την κατάσταση στην οποία βρίσκομαι,»Είπε ο Ροντρίγκεζ. «Προετοιμάστηκα πολύ σκληρά για αυτόν τον αγώνα. Μόλις διορθωθεί ο τραυματισμός, Θα επιστρέψω στο ρινγκ και θα ήθελα να παλέψω ξανά με τον Ράσελ.”

Στο άνοιγμα του αγώνα, πρώην παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Rau'shee Warren (19-3, 5 KOs) κυριαρχείται Damien Vazquez (16-3-1, 12 KOs) στο δρόμο του για ένα δεύτερο γύρο διακοπή στην αναμέτρηση bantamweight τους. Ο Warren σημείωσε την πρώτη του νίκη με νοκ άουτ από τότε 2015, αφού πήγε την απόσταση στους προηγούμενους οκτώ αγώνες του.

«Προσπαθούσα να τους δείξω κάτι διαφορετικό αυτή τη φορά,»Είπε ο Γουόρεν. «Είχα πάντα τη δύναμη, αλλά αυτό το εκπαιδευτικό στρατόπεδο ήταν πολύ διαφορετικό. Καθόμουν στις γροθιές μου και δούλευα σε κάτι διαφορετικό. Λειτούργησε στο ρινγκ.

«Πάντα ήξερα ότι είχα αυτή τη δύναμη και πάντα ήξερα ότι είχα αυτήν την ταχύτητα. Είναι απλώς να αφιερώσετε το χρόνο σας στο ρινγκ και να τους αφήσετε να έρθουν. Όταν είδα την ευκαιρία, Πήγα για αυτό. "

Τρεις φορές ΗΠΑ. Ολυμπίου, Ο Warren βγήκε γρήγορα στον πρώτο γύρο, χρησιμοποιώντας το πλεονέκτημα ταχύτητάς του για να κερδίσει τον Βάσκες στη γροθιά, συνδέοντας με το δεξί χέρι στη μέση μέσω του πλαισίου που σημείωσε το πρώτο νοκ ντάουν του αγώνα. Ο Βάζκεζ μπόρεσε να σηκωθεί στα πόδια του, αλλά στάλθηκε στον καμβά για δεύτερη φορά στιγμές αργότερα από ένα άλλο αιχμηρό δεξί χέρι από τον Γουόρεν.

Ο Γουόρεν του Σινσινάτι προσγειώθηκε εκπληκτικά 22 του 39 διατρήσεις δύναμης σε αυτόν τον πρώτο γύρο, και συνέχισε την κυριαρχία του στο δεύτερο. Ο Γουόρεν χρονομέτρησε τέλεια ένα ίσιο αριστερό χέρι που συγκλόνισε άσχημα τον Βάσκες, αναγκάζοντας τον διαιτητή Ray Corona να πηδήξει και να σταματήσει τον αγώνα 2:18 στο δεύτερο γύρο.

«Ο επόμενος αγώνας είναι ένας αγώνας τίτλου,»Είπε ο Γουόρεν. «Είμαι ο νούμερο ένα υποψήφιος για το WBA. Θέλω να ευχαριστήσω την ομάδα μου που με έβαλε σε αυτή τη θέση και με ώθησε. Ξέρουν τι μαχητής είμαι. Θα γίνω πρωταθλητής. Επόμενος αγώνας αρπάζω αυτόν τον τίτλο. Maybeσως να πολεμήσω τον νικητή του κεντρικού γεγονότος απόψε (Rigondeaux vs. Πρωτάθλημα)."

Το SHOWTIME παρουσίασε τις καλύτερες στιγμές από έναν αγώνα χωρίς τηλεόραση που είδε αήττητη προοπτική να αυξάνεται Brandun Lee (23-0, 21 KOs) διατηρεί ανέπαφο το τέλειο αρχείο του, καθώς σήκωσε το δικό του 13ου νοκ-άουτ πρώτου γύρου καριέρας με μια συγκλονιστική απόδοση εναντίον Εζεκίελ Φερνάντες (28-5-1, 3 KOs).

“Απόδοσή μου ήταν καλό,"Είπε ο Λι. «Θα μπορούσε να ήταν καλύτερα. Πάντα υπάρχουν περιθώρια βελτίωσης. Στο τέλος της ημέρας, τελειώσαμε τη δουλειά. Είμαι σίγουρα έτοιμος για το επόμενο επίπεδο. Είναι σωστό να ενισχύσω τον ανταγωνισμό. Θα αναλάβω οποιονδήποτε είναι έτοιμο.”

STAFFORD, TX. (Αύγουστος 5, 2021) -Παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής δύο κατηγοριών Guillermo Rigondeaux έδωσε εικόνα για την προπόνησή του καθώς ετοιμάζεται να αναλάβει τον Παγκόσμιο Πρωταθλητή WBO Bantamweight John Riel πρωτάθλημα Σάββατο, Αύγουστος 14 στο κύριο γεγονός ζωντανά στο SHOWTIME από το Dignity Health Sports Park στο Carson, Καλιφόρνια σε μια εκδήλωση Premier Πρωταθλητές Πυγμαχίας.

Η εκδήλωση προωθείται από την TGB Promotions. Τα εισιτήρια πωλούνται τώρα και μπορούν να αγοραστούν στο AXS.com. Η εκπομπή SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING θα ξεκινήσει στις 10 μ.μ. ET / 7 μ.μ.. PT και θα δει τον διπλό χρυσό Ολυμπιονίκη της Κούβας Rigondeaux, ο οποίος έχει κερδίσει την αναγνώριση της λίβρας για τη λίρα σε διάφορα σημεία της καριέρας του, επιστροφή στη δράση εναντίον του Φιλιππίνου Casimero, ένας παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής τριών κατηγοριών που ψάχνει την καλύτερη νίκη στην καριέρα στη δεύτερη άμυνα του τίτλου 118 λιβρών.

Εδώ είναι τι είχε να πει ο Rigondeaux σχετικά με την προπόνηση με τον Ronnie Shields και πολλά άλλα:

Στον επερχόμενο αγώνα του με τον John Riel Casimero: «Beenταν ένα στρατόπεδο πολύ συγκεντρωμένο, και έχω βρει έμπνευση βλέποντας τους Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες, και άναψε μια σπίθα μέσα μου. Η κατάκτηση δύο χρυσών μεταλλίων στα πρώτα μου χρόνια μου δίνει επιπλέον κίνητρο για να κερδίσω αυτόν τον αγώνα. Θέλω να αποδείξω στον κόσμο ότι είμαι ένας από τους καλύτερους πυγμάχους ποτέ, και ότι έχω πολλά να δώσω σε αυτό το άθλημα. Είμαι πεπεισμένος ότι θα το κάνω ενάντια στον πιο αποφευγμένο μαχητή στην κατηγορία βάρους μου. Ο Κασιμέρο είναι ένας επικίνδυνος μαχητής και ένας πολύ δυνατός διατρητής, αλλά θα τον εξημερώσω με μεγάλες ικανότητες πυγμαχίας ».

Στο πρόσφατο προπονητικό του στρατόπεδο με προπονητή τον Ronnie Shields: «Η προπόνηση στο Τέξας με τον Ronnie Shields ήταν υπέροχη και η συνεργασία μας είναι φανταστική. Ο Ρόνι είχε πολλούς παγκόσμιους πρωταθλητές, και διαθέτει ένα πολύ επαγγελματικό γυμναστήριο πυγμαχίας, με πολλούς παγκόσμιους πρωταθλητές και μαχητές που αγωνίζονται στο υψηλότερο επίπεδο του αθλήματος. Έχω κίνητρο να δουλέψω σκληρά, όχι μόνο για να πετύχω τους δικούς μου στόχους, αλλά από όλους τους νέους μαχητές στο γυμναστήριο που οδηγούνται και είναι συγκεντρωμένοι. Η ατμόσφαιρα μου έφερε κάτι καινούργιο. Αναβιώνω και νιώθω ξανά νέος ».

Στον αγώνα για τον παγκόσμιο τίτλο του WBO: «Πάντα νιώθω καλά να παλεύεις για έναν παγκόσμιο τίτλο, και είχα τον τίτλο του WBO πριν, αφού νίκησα τον Nonito Donaire, αλλά αυτή τη φορά θα πάω ενάντια σε ένα πεινασμένο νεαρό λιοντάρι. Άχνω να κατακτήσω έναν ακόμη παγκόσμιο τίτλο, και δώστε έναν ακόμη σπουδαίο αγώνα για τον οποίο θα μιλούν οι θαυμαστές για χρόνια ».

Επιστρέφοντας στο ρινγκ μετά από ένα χρόνο απολύσεων: "Νιώθω καλά. Νομίζω ότι σε αυτό το σημείο της καριέρας μου, όλη την ώρα μακριά από το δαχτυλίδι βοηθά. Ξέρω πώς να παλεύω και ξέρω πώς να προπονούμαι, το μεγάλο πράγμα είναι να ξέρεις πώς να ανακάμψεις, και δεν βλάπτουν το σώμα μου. Κάνω καλή δουλειά στο να μένω έντονος στο γυμναστήριο, αλλά όχι πάνω από την προπόνηση. Η νίκη επί του Κασιμέρο θα κάνει θαύματα για την καριέρα μου ».

Έναρξη της τηλεοπτικής μετάδοσης, πρώην παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Rau'shee Warren μονομαχίες Ντάμιεν Βάσκες σε αγώνα 10 γύρων bantamweight.

“Guillermo Rigondeaux is one of the most skilled fighters in all of boxing and he will seek to add to his resume against the exciting three-division champion and reigning 118-pound titlist John Riel Casimero,», είπε ο Τομ Μπράουν, Πρόεδρος της TGB Προσφορές. “These are two fighters who have accomplished a lot in the sport, but each can elevate themselves to new heights with a victory on August 14. Στο ομο-κύριο γεγονός, Antonio Russell looks to announce himself as the next Russell brother in line for a world title, against the sturdiest test of his career in Emmanuel Rodríguez. Opening up the night of bantamweight duels, Rau’shee Warren can step closer to regaining a bantamweight championship when he faces Damien Vázquez. These three fights will have huge implications on the future of the bantamweight division, which always provides great action for the fans.”

A longtime champion of the 122-pound division, Rigondeaux (20-1, 13 KOs) moved down in weight and captured a WBA bantamweight title against Liborio Solis in February 2020 σε SHOWTIME. Since turning professional in 2009 after one of the best amateur careers in history, Rigondeaux has showcased masterful technical skills that made him a unified super bantamweight world champion and perennial member of the pound-for-pound list. A two-time Olympic gold medalist for his native Cuba, Rigondeaux made his name with victories over the likes of Nonito Donaire, Rico Ramos and Joseph Agbeko.

“This is a big fight for me and my team because we have a chance to win that WBO title,»Είπε ο Ριγκοντό. “Fighting on SHOWTIME once again is going to be fun and I’m grateful for the opportunity. Although I’ve been out of the ring for well over a year, I’m still in great shape and have plans to ruin Casimero’s dreams. I know he has a lot of power, but he’s fighting a man with excellent boxing skills and a high ring IQ. I’m going to box circles around Casimero and show him what ‘El Chacal’ is all about. My trainer Ronnie Shields, and I have been working on some new tricks, so don’t be surprised if I knock him out.”

The 32-year-old Casimero (30-4, 21 KOs) of Ormoc City, Leyte, Philippines will make his second title defense in this August 14 ταιριάξει, having successfully defended it for the first time by knocking out Duke Micah in September 2020. Casimero trains in Las Vegas and originally won the title with an impressive third-round stoppage of Zolani Tete in November 2019. The three-division champion had previously captured titles at flyweight and light flyweight in a career that dates back to 2007. This will be his third career fight in the U.S. and his second to take place at Dignity Health Sports Park.

“I am very excited to be back on SHOWTIME and fighting in Southern California where a lot of Filipino fans can come see me fight,»Είπε ο Κασιμέρο. “I look forward to defending my title against Guillermo Rigondeaux. Rigondeaux is known to a lot of Filipino fans for beating my fellow countryman Nonito Donaire . I will show the boxing world how to beat Rigondeaux and send him into retirement once and for all.”

The middle brother between WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Jr. και 2016 Η.Π.Α.. Olympian Gary Antuanne, Antonio Russell (18-0, 12 KOs) announced his arrival amongst the bantamweight division contenders with a technical decision over former world champion Juan Carlos Payano in December 2020 σε SHOWTIME. The 28-year-old from Capitol Heights, Md. έγινε επαγγελματίας το 2015 after an impressive amateur career. After four wins in 2019, Russell kicked off 2020 defeating Jesus Martinez in February.

“I’m very excited for this fight on August 14 σε SHOWTIME,»Είπε ο Ράσελ. “I’ve put in the work and I’m always ready to fight, no matter when the call comes. I’m so focused right now. Rodriguez is the only thing on my mind and I’m ready to put on a show.”

The 28-year-old Rodríguez (19-2, 12 KOs) returns to action after dropping a controversial split-decision to Reymart Gaballo last December on SHOWTIME. Fighting out of Manati, Πουέρτο Ρίκο, Rodríguez won the IBF Bantamweight World Title with a unanimous decision victory over Paul Butler in 2018 and successfully defended it against then-unbeaten Jason Moloney. Rodríguez went on to lose the title to unbeaten champion Naoya Inoue in their May 2019 title bout.

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

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

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

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

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

Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from the Renaissance Allentown Hotel:

Γκάρι Ράσελ JR.

“Είχαμε ένα μεγάλο στρατόπεδο εκπαίδευσης. I have my younger brothers on the card with me and in camp, pushing me every day. Είμαστε έτοιμοι, focused and hungry.

“Tug will be the best he possibly can be because he knows he’s facing one of the best fighters in the world. He has everything to gain and nothing to lose. He’s going to leave it all on the line.

“I think Tug is a lot more technically sound than a lot of the guys who I have competed against. He’s another guy with everything to gain and nothing to lose, so I’m anticipating a tough fight.

“Αν ήταν στο χέρι μου, I’d be facing Leo Santa Cruz or Gervonta Davis, but this is what I have to face. I’m here to defend my title in style once again.

“It’s amazing to watch my younger brothers and to have them on the same card. I’m excited to work their corners. There’s never been a set of three brothers to become world champions, and I think we’ll do that real soon. They’re both extremely talented and hungry. I expect them to be better than me by the time they’re at this point in their careers.

“I was the first fighter to turn pro on ShoBox, and I went on to win my title on SHOWTIME. The fact that we’re still doing it now speaks wonders. I work great with their team and I’m grateful to be in this position.

“You should expect to see what you always see with me. Boxing at its best. A great deal of ring generalship. Good boxing IQ. Hand speed. Punching power. The total package as a fighter. Ως θέμα πραγματικότητα, I’m trying to figure out why I’m not on the pound for pound list given all of that. That’s an issue.”

TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR

“Είμαι πολύ ενθουσιασμένος για αυτό τον αγώνα. It’s going to be a good fight for the fans. Γκάρι Ράσελ Τζούνιορ. is a great champion, but watch on Saturday night, when I become the new featherweight world champion.

“I just have to be better than Gary Russell on Saturday night. The past experience won’t matter. If he thinks I’m too inexperienced for this fight, he is going to be in for a surprise Saturday.

“I know that I’m the underdog, but that doesn’t affect me. I don’t care if I’m the favorite or the underdog.

“I’m not worried about any ring rust. I’ve worked so hard in the ring during training camp to make sure I’m the best I’ve ever been.

“Working with Ismael Salas has been very good for me and I think it’s taken me to another level in my career. All of skills, all of my power and speed, it will all be with me on Saturday. I just have to put it together for my best performance.

“I’m very ready for this fight. I want to be the first WBC featherweight champion in history from Mongolia. Είμαι έτοιμος, you just need to watch on Saturday.”

Guillermo Rigondeaux

“Bantamweight is my division. I have no issues making that weight. I want to thank my team for getting me prepared and getting me to this position. All that’s left is to fight Saturday night.

“I want to also thank Ronnie Shields for how he has prepared me for this fight. It’s been a great training camp and I can’t wait to step into the ring and become champion again.

“νιώθω 100% and I believe that bantamweight has always been my best weight. I did well at 122 λίρες, so i stayed there. My plan now is to dominate this division.

“Me and Ronnie Shields have great chemistry and worked well together. Ronnie is a great trainer and I’m looking forward to a long run that we’re going to have together.

“I’m going to be phenomenal in the ring. I’m going to unify 118 pounds just like I did at 122 λίρες. I’m excited to get started.

“My strategy will depend on the fight that Solis brings. I’m a veteran in this sport, dating back to the amateurs, so I’m used to seeing so many different styles. I’m to fight the way that gives me the best chance to win.”

LIBORIO SOLIS

“Thank you very much to my team who has backed me and supported me leading up to this fight. I’m very grateful for this opportunity. My opponent has been a great champion and I’m very excited to be here to fight him.

“This is obviously going to be a great fight. I’m a warrior who always comes to fight. He can pick his strategy however he wants. But I just want to get in there and put my skills on display.

I was already a champion in one division and I had a fight taken on the scorecards at bantamweight, or else i would already be a two-division champion.

“Saturday is going to be different than my last fights. Both me and Guillermo give our heart and soul and we’re going to fight until the best man wins. I’m not leaving that ring without a championship.

“I’m going to come with everything on Saturday. I come to fight and I come to win. I’m sure Guillermo is the same. The difference will be my determination to win this fight.

“I don’t think anyone’s weight or which division we fought at in the past will be an advantage. I’m sure he could have always fought at 118. The person with the advantage is who wants it more.”

JAIME ARBOLEDA

“I want to thank all the great champions up on this stage and everyone on my team who made this fight happen. This opportunity has been a long time coming and I’ve been preparing hard to make the most out of it.

“Το Σάββατο, I’m very confident that this is going to be a great fight and end in a knockout. I’m prepared and I know that I’m going to win.

“This is a great chance to get one step closer to my dream of becoming a world champion. I know what I have to do and I’ve prepared every day to make sure that I fight my best on Saturday night.

“We have a lot of respect for each other and we’re looking forward to Saturday night. Don’t miss this card because it’s going to be action packed from start to finish.”

JAYSON VELEZ

“I’m happy to be here again and back in a big fight. My last time fighting on SHOWTIME was in 2012 and I’m very thankful for this opportunity to compete on this stage once again.

“I’m blessed to be able to do what I do every day. I’ve fought professionally since 2007. This is the dream that every boxer has. When I win on Saturday, I’ll be the mandatory for the belt and that’s the opportunity that I want.

“I’ve been training hard for this fight and I’m ready. I’ve won three fights in a row heading into a great fight between two hungry fighters. We want to add each other to our record and I believe that this fight is ending in knockout.

“Don’t miss this fight because this is going to be great. There’s going to be a lot of action. Every time I step into the ring, κερδίσει ή να χάσει, I will leave everything in there. I fight with my heart and I fight for Puerto Rico.”

Κάντε κλικ ΕΔΩ for Photos from Hosanna Rull/iRULL FOTOS



ΧΙΟΥΣΤΟΝ, TEXAS – Φεβρουάριος 4, 2020 – Ο πρώην παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Guillermo Rigondeaux will seek to become a three-time, two-division world champion when he moves down to bantamweight to challenge former champion Liborio Solis for the vacant WBA title live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Φεβρουάριος 8 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from PPL Center in Allentown, Ρα.



“I’m trying to make history by winning a third world title in a second weight class, while also matching my two [Olympic] Gold Medals,»Είπε ο Ριγκοντό, who will fight at bantamweight for the first time in his career. “I want to make a statement and solidify my legacy as one of the best Cuban fighters ever. I want the boxing world to be talking about me, as I seek to become a world champion once again. Φεβρουάριος 8 will be a special day for me and my family.



“I know at super bantamweight I am a force to be reckoned with. Now that I’m moving down to bantamweight, I feel stronger and I’m getting the most out of my skills. The bantamweight and super bantamweight divisions are filled with great fighters to test myself against. It’s a very exciting time and I am training very hard for each opportunity that is granted to me.”



This will be Rigondeaux’s second straight fight working with the renowned head trainer Ronnie Shields, and conducting training camp at Shields’ gym in Houston.



“Ronnie and I are working very hard and smart,»Είπε ο Ριγκοντό. “We have put together a great game plan that we are going to execute on fight night. All of my tools are getting sharpened up and everyone will see that the hard work we’ve put in will pay off. Ronnie is a great coach and I’ll be fighting with something to prove on fight night.”



“He is very focused, and one of the hardest workers in the gym,” said Shields. “Rigondeaux is so determined to become a world champion once again. He comes to camp every single day with that goal, and I don’t see any way he doesn’t achieve it.”



Rigondeaux is coming off an exciting knockout win over former world champion Julio Ceja last June. The Guantanamo, Cuba native will look to capture his next world title when he faces Solis, a former super flyweight world champion for the vacant WBA belt.



“Solis is a good opponent and a worthy challenger, but I am ready to reclaim my status as a world champion,»Είπε ο Ριγκοντό. “I’m going to show people why I am one of the best boxers of my generation.



“This is a very big deal for me. For years I was one of the best fighters in the world, αν όχι, the best fighter in the world. When you’re a champion, you only fight the top opponents and those are the type of fights I want. I’m going to start another long reign as champion beginning February 8.”

He will be challenged by the 2012 Olympic silver medalist “King Tug”, who quickly rose up the rankings facing quality opposition throughout his 11-fight career.

“Gary Russell Jr. has proven himself to be at the very elite level of this sport and one of the best fighters in the featherweight division,», είπε ο Τομ Μπράουν, Πρόεδρος της TGB Προσφορές. “His speed, power and overall skillset has made him a must-watch every time he steps into that ring.

The Capitol Heights, Maryland native Russell (30-1, 18 KOs) has held his WBC Featherweight Title since 2015 when he stopped multiple division champion Jhonny Gonzalez to emphatically capture the belt. The 31-year-old is part of one of boxing’s premier fighting families as he is trained by his father Gary Sr., and trains alongside his younger brothers, unbeaten super lightweight Gary Antuanne and undefeated bantamweight Antonio. Russell most recently stopped former champion Kiko Martinez in May on SHOWTIME after previously defeating then unbeaten challenger Joseph Diaz Jr in 2018 in a hometown defense.

“I’m forced to defend my title against another mandatory challenger and I’m going to show on February 8 why none of the other champions want to face me,»Είπε ο Ράσελ. “I’m the longest current reigning WBC champion but no one has stepped up to the challenge I present. I’m going to take care of business against a strong opponent and display all my skills like I always do.”

The 27-year-old Nyambayar (11-0, 9 KOs) represented his native Mongolia in the 2012 Olympics but now lives in the U.S. and is training out of Las Vegas. Nyambayar ascended up the featherweight rankings after his extensive amateur career with victories over then unbeaten Harmonito Dela Torre and former interim champion Oscar Escandon. Most recently he won his first 12-round decision by defeating former champion Claudio Marrero in January.

“This is going to be an exciting fight for everyone watching on February 8,” said Nyambayar. “Gary Russell Jr. is a great champion who is very talented, but he has the WBC belt and that’s what I want. I’m training hard to win this fight and I will be ready for anything that Russell brings to the ring.”

Rigondeaux(19-1, 13 KOs) will look to move down and capture a title in a second weight class in his SHOWTIME debut. Since turning professional in 2009 after one of the best amateur careers in history, Rigondeaux has showcased masterful technical skills that made him a unified 122-pound world champion and perennial member of the pound-for-pound list. A two-time Olympic gold medalist for his native Cuba, Rigondeaux made his name with victories over the likes of Nonito Donaire, Rico Ramos and Joseph Agbeko. Most recently, Rigondeaux scored an exciting eighth-round stoppage of former champion Julio Ceja in June.

Born in Venezuela and fighting out of Panama, Solís (30-5-1, 14 KOs) θα κάνει Η.Π.Α. του. debut on February 8 while riding a five-fight winning streak. Solís captured a super flyweight world title in 2013 amidst a 14-bout unbeaten run. He has lost by decision in his two previous attempts at 118-pound title, including a controversial loss to Jamie McDonnell, which he has bounced back from on his current win streak.

Arboleda (15-1, 13 KOs) has ripped off five straight victories by stoppage since he suffered the only loss of his career against Recky Dulay in 2017. The 25-year-old Arboleda from Curundu, Panama will be fighting in the U.S. for the first time in his career. He’s coming off a knockout victory over Victor Betancourt on August 24.

The 31-year-old Veléz (29-5-1, 21 KOs) has strung together three straight knockout victories since losing to Ryan Garcia in 2018. The Juncos, Puerto Rico resident is coming off a knockout victory over Hector Ruben Ambriz Suarez on July 27 and is looking for another championship opportunity. He came up short in his previous attempt when he fought to a draw against Evgeny Gradovich for the featherweight world title in 2014.

WBC Super Welterweight Champion Tony Harrison Injures Ankle & is Forced to Withdraw from Rematch Against Former Champion Jermell Charlo

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

Hard-Hitting & Dangerous Jorge Cota to Step In and Replace Harrison Sunday, Ιούνιος 23 in FOX PBC Fight Night on FOX & FOX Deportes Main Event at Mandalay Bay Events Center

in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (Ιούνιος 3, 2019) – Σούπερ welterweight παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Tony Harrison injured his ankle in training last week and has withdrawn from his title defense against former world champion Jermell Charlo that was scheduled to headline FOX PBC Fight Night on FOX and FOX Deportes Sunday, Ιούνιος 23 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

Harrison has an inner and outer ankle sprain with torn ligaments in his right ankle and he will be out for 10 weeks before he can resume training. Harrison and Charlo plan to have their rematch later this year.

Stepping in to replace Harrison for a 12-round fight is the always dangerousJorge Cota (28-3, 25 KOs), who most recently lost a disputed split-decision in April on FS1 against Jeison Rosario. The 31-year old from Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico had scored three straight knockout victories before the defeat in April.

“Watching my Mexican brother Andy Ruiz fight last weekend, I am very motivated,” said Cota. “I saw how he got an unexpected chance to become a champion and surprise the world. He has inspired me to win this fight in the same way. I will shock the world on June 23 just like Andy did on Saturday, for Mexico, the country that I love. This is the most important fight of my career.”

“As we have seen from Andy Ruiz’s incredible upset of Anthony Joshua in the heavyweight championship fight on Saturday night, replacement fighters are not to be taken as a joke,” είπε ο Τομ Μπράουν, President of TGB Promotions. “Jorge Cota is a dangerous fighter. He has heavy hands and he’s looking for an opportunity to make a statement. Jermell Charlo realizes just how serious this is and he wants to get his title back. I know he’s going to be prepared to make his own statement.”

The 29-year-old Charlo will now have to wait for his opportunity to avenge the only loss of his career and regain his title against Harrison. Καταπολέμηση του Χιούστον, Τέξας, Charlo won the vacant WBC title with a devastating knockout victory over John Jackson in 2016. He made three successful defenses of the title with highlight-reel knockouts over Charles Hatley and Erickson Lubin, plus a majority decision win over former champion Austin Trout.

“It feels like a heartbreak,” Είπε Charlo. “I was ready to destroy Tony Harrison and now I’m going to get in there and destroy Cota. I always pray for my opponent to have safe care and make it to the fight healthy. It’s unfortunate that Tony Harrison isn’t my next victim. I want the best Harrison so I want him healed up and ready to go, because that will only bring out the best in me.

“I feel my title was taken from me and being held hostage and I want it back. I will go through anything to get it back. The moment he’s cleared to fight I want the match and I will get my title back. I’m going in June 23 for a dominant victory with a ferocious attitude and a mindset to destroy, because I know I can’t leave it to the judges anymore.”

Harrison’s injury is the latest twist in the super welterweight division that started last December when Harrison and Charlo’s first encounter took place live on FOX. Harrison won the decision to upset Charlo and take away the title. The close nature of the bout helped warrant an immediate rematch that promises to be just as highly charged and dramatic. Ιουλιανός “J-Ροκ” Williams scored a hard-fought unanimous decision over Jarrett Hurd as the IBF and WBA titles changed hands as well in May.

This setback for Harrison, who is from Detroit and was trained early in his career by the late Emanuel Steward, is another challenge for the 28-year-old champion. Harrison was on track for a title shot before suffering the first loss of his career in 2015 to Willie Nelson. After three-straight wins, he earned a shot at the vacant 154-pound title against Jarrett Hurd. Although Harrison had strong moments in the fight, he eventually lost to Hurd and was forced to again climb to the top. After another three victories, including a win over former champion Ishe Smith, Harrison took advantage of his second world title opportunity against Charlo.

Harrison and Charlo’s first encounter took place live on FOX in December as Harrison earned the decision and upset Charlo to earn the title. The close nature of the bout helped warrant an immediate rematch that promises to be just as highly charged and dramatic.

“Tony Harrison and Jermell Charlo showed off their elite talent to the world in their first bout and I anticipate an even more explosive showdown in the rematch on June 23,” είπε ο Τομ Μπράουν, Πρόεδρος της TGB Προσφορές. “Harrison will no doubt be at his very best again as he looks to establish himself in the championship ranks. Jermell Charlo is certainly more motivated than ever to reclaim his spot atop the 154-pound division. Fans tuning in on FOX and FOX Deportes in primetime and in attendance at Mandalay Bay Events Center are in for an action-packed Sunday night.”

Harrison (28-2, 21 KOs) has proven to be “Detroit tough” during a boxing career inspired by early years trained and managed by the late Emanuel Steward. He had to climb back into title contention twice before reaching the top with his unanimous decision victory over Charlo last December.

Harrison was on track for a title shot before suffering the first loss of his career in 2015 to Willie Nelson. After three-straight wins, he earned a shot at the vacant 154-pound title against Jarrett Hurd. Although Harrison had strong moments in the fight, he eventually lost to Hurd and was forced to again climb to the top. After another three victories, including a win over former champion Ishe Smith, Harrison took advantage of his second world title opportunity against Charlo.

“Being a world champion now, I’m excited to defend my title for the first time in this rematch that everyone is looking forward to,” είπε ο Harrison. “I think there’s actually more pressure on Charlo, just like last time. It’s just a blessing for me to be fighting on FOX and FOX Deportes Sunday, Ιούνιος 23. Everyone is going to be tuned-in to this fight and we’re going to bring the action to Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, the capital of the boxing world. I plan on doing the exact same thing to Jermell that I did in December. I’m going to get the win, and then I don’t want to hear any more crying or excuses.”

The 28-year-old Charlo (31-1, 15 KOs) suffered the first setback of his career with the close unanimous decision loss to Harrison. Καταπολέμηση του Χιούστον, Τέξας, Charlo won the vacant WBC title with a devastating knockout victory over John Jackson in 2016. He made three successful defenses of the title with highlight-reel knockouts over Charles Hatley and Erickson Lubin, plus a majority decision win over former champion Austin Trout.

Charlo is trained in Dallas by Derrick James, who was recognized as the 2017 Trainer of the Year by Yahoo Sports and also works with welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. Charlo is one-minute younger than his identical twin brother, Jermall, who is the WBC interim middleweight champion and a former 154-pound champion.

“I am in a ruthless state of mind. I am upset and this upcoming fight, I am going to give it 110 τοις εκατό,” Είπε Charlo. “I am way hungrier now than I was before. I am not desperate for a win because I know how to win. The judges gave me a bad decision because I didn’t get the knockout, but you don’t have to knock everybody out to beat them. He knows he didn’t beat me. He knows exactly what happened. He knows he can’t beat me. If I have to go in there and prove it again, I will.”

Rigondeaux (18-1, 12 KOs) will look to show off the masterful technical skills that made him a unified world champion and perennial member of the pound-for-pound list when he steps into the ring on June 23. A two-time Olympic gold medalist for his native Cuba, Rigondeaux made his name with victories over the likes of Nonito Donaire, Rico Ramos and Joseph Agbeko. The 38-year-old most recently knocked out Giovanni Delgado in January on FS1.

Fighting out of Tlalnepantla, Μεξικό, Φρύδι (32-3, 28 KOs) won an interim world title at super bantamweight in 2015 by stopping Hugo Ruiz in the fifth-round. The 26-year-old would lose the full title to Ruiz in their rematch in 2016, but has won two of three fights since, including a knockout of Anselmo Moreno.

ΛΟΣ ΑΝΤΖΕΛΕΣ (Ιανουάριος 13) – The challenger proved to be the aggressor as Caleb Plant became the IBF Super Middleweight World Champion, defeating Jose Uzcategui in the main event of the first Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes event of 2019, which took place at the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Ζήστε στο Λος Άντζελες. Plant dominated the whole fight as he maintained a fast and aggressive pace from the opening bell.

With scores of 116-110 δύο φορές και 115-111 in favor of Plant, the freshly crowned champion, Plant fell to his knees overcome with emotion when he heard “and the new!".

“I’ve worked my whole entire life for this,” said Plant. “I buried my daughter in the process of trying to get this belt. I promised I would bring her this title and that is what I am going to do.”

The super middleweight barnburner started out strong with both combatants throwing exchanges, but Plant did everything in his power to never back down. Uzcategui threw hard right hands to start the second round, but Plant quickly turned the round in his favor as he knocked Uzcategui to the canvas with a flurry of punches, only the third time Uzcategui had been knocked down in his career. A small cut opened under the left eye of Uzcategui to start the third, but he fought through it and fended off Plant’s aggression. One minute into the fourth round, a cut opened up under Plant’s right eye causing blood to stream. That did not stop the Nashville native as threw a hard left hook that once again sent Uzcategui to the canvas.

As the fight progressed, the Venezuelan was unable to utilize his distance, thus allowing Plant to fight on the inside. Despite good exchanges in the seventh and eighth, it became increasingly clear that Uzcategui would need a knockout to hold onto his belt. Uzcategui flipped a switch in the championship rounds and came forward, throwing hard blows to the body and head of Plant. But it was too little too late for Uzcategui as Plant’s ring generalship controlled the pace of the fight, ultimately ending in a unanimous decision.

“I knew I caught him clean [when I knocked down Uzcategui], but I knew he wasn’t all the way out so I took my time,” continued Plant. “I stayed relaxed. I stuck to the game plan and got it done just like I said I would.

“This is overwhelming. I am a kid who came from nothing. I believed in myself and now I’ve been crowned king. Αμέσως, I am not thinking ahead. I just want to embrace this moment and soak it in.” 

“I did feel that I had the advantage heading into the fight,»Είπε ο Ουζκατεγκούι. “I went down because I was off balance, but I wasn’t hurt. He started to get tired around the sixth round, which was the plan. Caleb knew how to clench and hold. He was smart. He knew how to stay away from the punches.

“I expected more movement and more boxing out of him,” continued Uzcategui. “I would love the rematch. I think everyone saw a great fight tonight. I gave him the chance at the title and I would hope he would give me the chance to win it back.”

Unbeaten Brandon Figueroa (18-0, 13 KOs) της Weslaco, Texas faced former world title challenger Moises Flores (25-2, 17 KOs) της Γκουανταλαχάρα, Mex. in a WBA Super Bantamweight title eliminator. Figueroa wasted no time attacking Flores in round one as he came forward and threw several hard lefts followed by a body shot that seemed to surprise Flores. Με 30 δευτερόλεπτα που αφήνονται στον κύκλο, Figueroa went for the body and worked Flores on the inside. While Flores seemed to find his footing at the start of round three, Figueroa unleashed a flurry of punches that sent Flores to the canvas once and then a second time that ended the fight at 1:35 του τρίτου γύρου.

“Break him down and finish him,” said Figueroa “This is exactly how I expected it to go. I knew that he wasn’t going to handle those body shots. My message to Daniel Roman is that I am going to go home and prepare.

“I used that body work,” continued Figueroa. “I am really strong. I came in at 110 percent and did my job. I could have done better. I am really hard on myself. I know there are things I can continue to work on and will do that as soon as I get home. I am most definitely ready for a title shot.”

Fast-rising undefeated star and PBC Prospect of 2018 Joey Spencer (6-0, 6 KOs) of Linden, Μιχ., continued his impressive knockout streak as he defeated Brandon Harder (2-2, 1 KO) of Southaven, Δεσποινίδα., in a super welterweight contest that saw Spencer knocking down Harder three times in less than two rounds. The 18-year-old Spencer, who fought 100 αγωνίζεται ως ερασιτέχνης, established his jab early and landed at will. He threw and landed a straight right at the end of round one that sent Harder to his knees. Forty-five seconds into round two, Spencer sent Harder to the canvas again followed by a swarm of punches that ended the fight at 1:27 του γύρου.

“Fans are going to see that I give it my all when I get in the ring and I’m going to put on a show,” said Spencer. “You’re going to get more and more tests in my career and I believe I will rise to the level of my competition. Sometimes you’re in there with an awkward guy, he proves to be a test. I’ll move to six rounds for my next fight. I want to fight four times this year and I’m looking forward to it.”

The Premier Boxing Champions Prelims on FS1 featured three bouts that all ended in exciting knockout victories, kicking off a great night of fights.

The Prelim telecast featured the long-awaited ring return of Guillermo Rigondeux (18-1, 12 KOs) who hadn’t fought since December 2017. The Cuban fan-favorite faced Giovanni Delgado of Tacubaya, Mex. (16-9, 9 KOs) and knocked him out in the last second of round one with an overhand left. Delgado could not be saved by the 10 count and the fight was called in favor of Rigondeux.

“This is my division. Αυτό είναι ο χρόνος μου,»Είπε ο Ριγκοντό. “I am the king of 122 λίρες. Ένιωσα 100 τοις εκατό. Delgado is a good fighter. I take my hat off to him and his team. I came prepared and I am ready to face people that are undefeated. Whoever has a belt, I am taking it. You can expect me back in less than two months.”

“I fought my idol tonight,” said Delgado. “I knew he hit hard, but I didn’t know he hit that hard. I have been cleared by the doctor and am fine. Just a little bit in shock.”

A scheduled eight-round light heavyweight bout featuring Egypt’s Ahmed Elbiali (18-1, 15 KOs) against 16-year veteran Allan Green (33-6, 22 KOs) της Τούλσα, OK saw Elbiali knock Green down in every round. Ωστόσο, Green did showcase his experience choosing to go toe-to-toe despite Elbiali’s aggression. Τελικά, it was a right uppercut followed by an overhand right that sent Green to the canvas as Elbiali scored a knockout at 1:16 από τον τρίτο γύρο.

“I was easier than I thought it was going to be,” said Elbiali. “Losing to Pascal the way I did, it messes with you mentally. I was trying to stay on my A-game. Stay focused and thankfully it showed. My game plan clicked really well. I have been sparring with Caleb (Εργοστάσιο) and other great guys. That keeps you sharp and alert. I would love to win a world title and be the first Egyptian win a world championship.”

In the opening bout of the Premier Boxing Champions Prelims on FS1, Mexican Olympian Lindolfo Delgado (8-0, 8 KOs) of Linares, Mex. continued his professional knockout streak as he defeated Sergio Lopez (22-13-1, 15 KOs) of West Covina, CA via knockout at 2:48 του τρίτου γύρου. Delgado has yet to fight 30 rounds in his eight fights as a professional. He was clearly the aggressor throughout the fight and landed almost 50 percent of his power punches.
