BROOKLYN (Kovas 5, 2017) – Keith Thurman is the unified welterweight world champion.
Thurman (28-0, 22 Kos) unified boxing’s glamour division with a split-decision victory over Danny Garcia (33-1, 19 Kos) šeštadienį, defending his WBA belt and picking up Garcia’s WBC crown on boxing’s biggest stage in primetime on CBS from Barclays Center, Brooklyn bokso ™ Namai.
Renginys, which was produced by SHOWTIME Sports® for the CBS Television Network, marked the highest-attended boxing event in Barclays Center history with 16,533 fans witnessing just the 10oji unification in division history.
The close affair, which was only the third time undefeated fighters unified the 147-pound division, was scored 116-112 Thurman, 115-113 Thurman and 115-113 Garcia.
The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS main event, which was presented by Premier Boxing Champions, was a tale of effective aggression and ring generalship. Thurman came out swinging and was the busier and more accurate fighter in nine of the 12 raundai. “Vienas Laikas” Thurman was more tactical in the second half of the fight, utilizing lateral movement and working off his jab. Garcia picked up the pace and was more active in the final rounds, but it was too little too late for the previously undefeated Philadelphia native.
I thought I out-boxed him.” Sakė Thurman, who likely earned a spot on boxing’s mythical pound-for-pound list with the impressive victory. “I thought it was a clear victory, but Danny came to fight. I knew when it was split and I had that wide spread, I knew it had to go to me.
I was not giving the fight away. I felt like we had a nice lead, we could cool down. I felt like we were controlling the three-minute intervals every round. My defense was effectivehe wasn’t landing.
A former unified champion at 140-pound, Garcia was aiming to be the first fighter in history to unify titles at 140 ir 147 svarų.
I came up short šįvakar,” Sakė Garcia, who entered the bout with a 7-0 record in world title bouts. “I thought I was the aggressor. I thought I pushed the pace. But it didn’t go my way.
I thought I won and I was pushing the fight. But it is what it is. I’ll come back strong like a true champion. I would love a rematch to get these titles.
SHOWTIME Sports analyst and unofficial scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 116-112 for Thurman.

Lubin now becomes the No. 2 challenger to WBC Welterweight World Championship Jermell Charlo, who is due a mandatory bout against No. 1 contender Charles Hatley.
The Orlando-native Lubin landed 47 percent of his power shots across four rounds of shutout boxing.
I baited him with the jab. I knew he was going to come with the big shots early,” Lubin said to reporter Jim Gray. “I put a few tricks on him, I landed that overhand and it was night-night. I put my hands down to bait him in, I did a squat and then it was night-night. I was ready to follow-up with a right but he was already out.
At just 21-years-old, Lubin now has an opportunity to become the youngest world champion in boxing today.
That would mean a lot to me; that would mean a lot to Orlando, Floridos,” Lubin said. “This is my second time knocking someone out in front of Ray Leonard. He’s one of my favorite fighters of all time. It’s an honor to do this on CBS.

Štai ką dalyviai turėjo pasakyti:
KEITH Thurman
This fight has been brewing for a long time. Both of us wanted this fight. There’s a reason why this fight is happening. We’re young, we’re hungry and we’re not trying to wait around. It’s time for this to go down.
I’ve had a great camp. This is nothing new to me. I’m happy to be in this moment with all these people here. I’ve had a dream since I was a little boy to be not just your average champion, but to be a great champion. Before I had that dream, Ben Getty believed in me and it’s because of him that I’m where I’m at today. He predicted this before anyone.
Danny is a smart fighter. He’s swift. He keeps rising to the top. He knows he has people underestimating him now and that fuels him. Man, I’m fueled by legacy. I want greatness for myself.
It’s Danny’s reputation against my reputation. We’re both prideful fighters. You’re putting two of the best together. He wants to prove that he can be a unified champion in two divisions and I’ve been waiting for this opportunity to get fights like this. I want to show how and why I’m better than my competition. Šeštadienis night is my platform to show the world how great of a champion I am.
Danny looks ready. But I stay true when I look at you. His eyes wandered, so I wondered a little what that means. What really matters is how the fight starts. You find out if the fighter carries momentum, or if it shifts. What happens, when we land our first big punches?
He feels confident and I feel confident. I believe that I have more to offer. I feel that I can box my way to victory. I visualize outcomes. I don’t think Danny wins without a stoppage. If it goes to the scorecards, it’ll favor me.
There hasn’t been one opponent who’s gotten in the ring with me and said that my power isn’t for real. I think my power and my boxing IQ will be the same. I can change it up. I can do what I need to do, so you are unable to do what you want to do.
This is going to be a fight that you can’t miss. It’s going to be right in your house. If you can’t make it to the arena, you can make it to the couch. This is elite world class championship boxing in primetime. This is for all sports fans.
Danny Garcia
This deserves all the media attention that it’s getting. I’ve been a champion for five years already and I’ve been a unified champion. Šeštadienis I have an opportunity to unify another division. It’s always been a dream to unify multiple divisions and now I have my chance.
We put in all the hard work. We did everything we had to do. I feel really good and I feel confident. Šeštadienį naktis, I’m going to be a unified champion again.
“Aš kovoju laimėti. I fight to secure my family’s future and that’s what it’s all about. That’s what we train so hard for. I’m going to give the fans something to watch šeštadienį.
Legacy is very important to me. I have more milestones than Thurman. This is his biggest fight. I’ve been in big fights before. Every championship fight is a part of history.
People say he’s the bigger man because he’s been at this weight longer than me. I’m taller than him, I’m wider than him and I have a bigger back than him. I feel like I’m the fresher welterweight.
You can’t chase a legacy or money. When you get desperate, you’ll try to take a shortcut. Everything I do is for the love of the sport. I’ve been blessed to be in this position.
I started boxing because I wanted a trophy. I wanted to show my friends a trophy. I didn’t know the value of a dollar, that came later.
I’ve been the underdog before. All ‘underdogmeans is that there are a whole bunch of people who don’t know what I can do. I rise to the occasion every time. I win because I’m better. Šeštadienį night I’m going to prove it again.
ERICKSON LUBIN
I made sure that I ate the right things and done everything perfectly during camp. This training camp went great thanks to my team and you’ll see the results šeštadienį.
If you don’t know me now, you will after Šeštadienis naktis. This fight is in honor of my dear friend and cutman, Todas Harlib. I wish he could have seen this, but I know he’s looking down on me,
“Pavyzdžiui Šeštadienis night I’m going to make my mark in the division. I will become the youngest champion this year. Prisiminkite mano žodžius. We know my opponent is coming to fight. I’ve proven myself in past fights but I’m still young. I will become the mandatory challenger šeštadienį naktis.
These type of fights bring the best out of me. Aš jauna, fierce and hungry. I’m excited to get in the ring and perform.
JORGE COTA
I’m very thankful for this opportunity. I’m coming to fight and I’m coming to win.
This is a big opportunity for me and I’m going to take full advantage. My dream is to win a world title and I know I have what it takes.
I know I have a tough opponent Šeštadienis night who people think very highly of. I have to believe in my training and keep throwing punches until I get the victory.
I’m very happy to be fighting in New York city as part of this great card and I’m going to put on a show.
Lou DIBELLA, Prezidentas DiBella Pramogos
It really doesn’t get better than this for a boxing fan. This is as significant a fight as you can make in boxing right now and it might be the best fight you can make in boxing.

“Pagrindinis įvykis šeštadienį doesn’t need a lot of hype. It’s just the second primetime fight on CBS in 40 years and the most significant fight on network television in a generation.
Keith and Danny have been on a collision course for their whole careers. These guys wanted to fight each other. This is one they both really wanted to happen now.
STEPHEN Espinoza, Executive VP & Generalinis direktorius, Showtime Sportas

January of this year, Badou Jack vs. James DeGale was another Fight of the Year candidate. Šeštadienį naktis, this will be another special fight.
When the best fight the best, special things happen. Leonard vs. Hurns, Trinidad vs. De La Hoy, Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. Big fights and memorable fights. This has always been boxing’s glamor division. Šeštadienį night you will found out who the top fighter in this division is.
The co-feature we have one of boxing’s brightest, most talented prospects in Erickson Lubin. If you don’t know him, you should. He’s taking on the toughest opponent of his career. An experienced fighter, a monster puncher and a real tough test. This whole card is worthy of this slot on CBS.

Šį šeštadienį the nation will see world class championship boxing at its best and on display at Barclays Center in front of millions of primetime viewers on CBS. These are two undefeated superstars in the ring and we are proud to be the host.
