LONDEN (April 7, 2016) – IBF Heavyweight World Champion Charles Martin and unbeaten British Olympic Gold Medalist Anthony Joshua faced off at the final press conference on Thursday at Four Seasons Hotel in London as they near Zaterdag heavyweight showdown, live on SHOWTIME from The O2.

 

The SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL® telecast begins live at 5 p.m. EN/2 p.m. PT op Showtime. An encore presentation will air on SHOWTIME EXTREME® bij 8 p.m. EN/PT.

 

Here’s what Martin and Joshua had to say at Thursday’s final press conference.

 

CHARLES MARTIN:

“I don’t consider this a risk. De O2 Arena, that’s my arena. I’m comfortable everywhere I go. When eyes are on me, I’m going to perform.

 

“I know how to move my head and be evasive. Real true analysts see the things I do. They can tell.

 

“I’m always here to prove the doubters wrong. When you doubt me, that just fuels my fire.

 

“We’re going to keep the tide rolling. We’re rolling.”

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA:

“They know when it comes to these big heavy-hitters we don’t play games. We’re here to go to war. We’ve just got two generals in the ring and the best army wins.

 

“You know what I’m like, Ik ben een vechter. I’m not going to go in there and dance around and try to evade punches. I’m going to walk through two to give him five. That’s just how it goes, I’m coming for him.

 

“I’m here to box, but at the same time I know I’m ready to swim through deep waters to get it. It’s not going to be easy, I know that for a fact, no fight is easy. That’s why I said to you I will box and hopefully it will be an easy night.

 

“It most definitely is a risk, but at the same time let’s scrap all this 15-fight, 16-fight nonsense and let’s put men in the ring together who want it. Whoever wants it comes out on top and it’s simple as that.”

 

When asked if he can control his emotions: “Probably not. I’ll probably go out and try to take his head off.”

 

Additional Fight Week Quotes (free to use):

 

CHARLES MARTIN:

 

“I don’t know how the fans will react to me knocking him out, but that’s what is going to happen. I don’t know how the fans in London will react, but I can only be myself.

 

"Ik ben wereldkampioen, but a lot of people don’t know me. After I knock him out we’ll see where that goes.

 

“I’m not going to go in there respecting anybody’s power. He’s going to have to respect me and my power and deal with me and my tools. I don’t care what he’s bringing to the table.

 

“This is my livelihood and I get real emotional with this. If you don’t take emotion into it then how are you even going to win? I’ve got to walk my own path. When I get emotional ahead of a big fight like this, I feel that I cannot be stopped. Even if I have doubt, I always have that.

 

“I don’t think about where he’s been. All I care about is where he’s going. I don’t care if he’s been in deep water before, or how many rounds he’s been. I want him to remember the word ‘timber’ because I’m going to make his ass hit that canvas real hard.

 

“This belt is mine. He’s trying to take what’s mine, take something from me. He’s trying to steal food out of my mouth, out of my kids’ mouth, out of my family’s mouth. This is my livelihood.

 

“I don’t want to let this go: this is never going to end. I want to be known as the greatest southpaw heavyweight that ever put on a set of gloves.

 

“When I get to this point now, I can’t be stopped. I’m like Lamon Brewster versus Wladimir Klitschko when he unloaded all those shots until he couldn’t throw anymore punches. And then what did Lamon Brewster do? Knock him the (vloek) out. Just that will to win, één. You can throw whatever you want, but I’ll walk through fire to get you.

 

“It’s controlled aggression, hoewel, because if it’s not, you’ll run into everything they throw at you. I go in there with my antennas to the ceiling and I won’t take my eyes off him until the job is done.

 

“Everything is just cooking in the kitchen like I am a master chef, and all of the ingredients put together make it perfect.

 

“Life is all about taking risks but I don’t consider this a risk because I’m confident in what I do. It’s all about just taking that first step. You’ve got to walk out on your own and you’ve got to believe in yourself. If I didn’t believe in myself I wouldn’t have made it this far. If I didn’t believe in myself I wouldn’t be Prince Charles Martin.

 

“The belt is absolutely in the right hands. I didn’t want to win it the way I did – that was just crazy – I don’t even really like talking about it because it wasn’t my fault. Daarna, he walked out of the venue – he didn’t limp or get carried out, he walked. If that was me I’d have fought on and gone out on my shield. You’d have to knock me out no matter what. I don’t care if I break my hand, if I break my jaw, I am not stopping.”

 

ANTHONY JOSHUA:

“I believe I am ready to win the world title. A lot of people have said that this might be too soon for me, that I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, but right now my knuckles are itchy and I just want to get in there and show the world what I can do.

 

“When my promoter Eddie Hearn called me up and said ‘do you want to fight Charles Martin for the world heavyweight title?’ I just said: ‘Let’s roll’.

 

“Opportunity knocks and you have to open the door. I have trained and prepared correctly and am ready for this. There’s no turning back. I just embrace it.

 

“We saw the opportunity when Martin called me out. ik was zo van, ‘OK Mr. IBF calling me out.’ The IBF champ calling out the British champ. I’ve got the heavyweight champion of the world calling me out saying he wants to fight me. I say cool. Let’s rock and roll.

 

"Aan het einde van de dag, let’s strip away the heavyweight title and let’s look at the opponent I’m facing. Charles Martin is a southpaw who can box and who can punch a bit.

 

“Facing a southpaw always comes with different angles and different tricks. I can’t go in recklessly because you can easily get counter punched. That’s why sparring is important and having a successful camp is important. I know I’ve done all I can to prepare myself for him.

 

“Let’s welcome Charles into the Lion’s den. He’s coming to The O2 – this is my stomping ground. When I fight here it’s electric and it’s going to be an amazing atmosphere, the best yet. It’s going to be interesting to see how he handles it. What a night it will be if I can lift that belt above my head.

 

“Sometimes you got to put talent to one side and dig deep. Dit is het vechtspel; you got to prove to yourself that when tactics aren’t working, you’ve got to dig a bit deeper, go to war and find a way to win. That’s what I thought when I fought Dillian (Whyte). Certain things weren’t working, I was rushing a bit, I wasn’t in my comfort zone, but I dug deep I found a way to win and I ended the night in a spectacular knockout.

 

“After I do the business with Martin, a fight with (Tyson) Fury is 10 of 12 months away — providing he handles his business in (Wladimir) Klitschko rematch.

 

“I find Fury a bit irritating to be honest. All his antics work for him, I suppose, but I can’t wait to fight him. He’s had plenty to say about me, and it’s coming from the same guy that was singing my praises when I sparred with him when I was a complete novice.

 

“As time goes on, it’s going to get worse for the others because my confidence will grow, I’ll train, learn and take it into the ring.

 

“David Haye? Bring it on. My heart tells me I am ready. I am at championship level now. After I get Martin out of the way, David is a massive name and when we’re ready to get it on it will be a huge fight.”

“The Final Call” Zaterdag, April 2, 2016 TAURON ARENA, KRAKOW, POLAND LIVE ON PAY-PER-VIEW

Laat een reactie achter
FINAL PRESSER QUOTES FROM POLAND
KRAKOW, Polen (Maart 31, 2016) — The final press conference for deze zaterdag “The Final Call” pay-per-view gebeurtenis, vanaf 2:00 p.m. EN / 11:00 a.m. PT, was held today. Below are fighters’ quotes.
Integrated Sports Media will distribute the card in North America for live viewing on kabel, satelliet eninternet pay-per-view via de vraag, DirecTV, DISH Network, en Vubiquity in de Verenigde Staten, evenals Rogers TV, Bell TV, Shaw PPV en SaskTel in Canada, voor een adviesprijs van slechts $29.95. Neem contact op met uw lokale kabel of satelliet provider voor meer informatie. Bovendien, the fight is available in North America for purchase on-line at www.GFL.tv en www.Eversport.TV (Polish commentary only), and via the FITE.TV app (of ga naar http://www.fite.tv/v/adamekvsmolina voor meer informatie) for both Android and iOS.
Four are scheduled to air live on PPV from Tauron Arena in Krakow, Polen. Twee andere gevechten kan worden aangetoond, de tijd het toelaat.
“The Final Call” is promoted in Poland by Polsat, als onderdeel van de Polsat Boxing Night-serie, in addition to Main Events and Don King Productions.
TOMASZ “Goral” ADAMEK: “I’ve had a great camp, great sparring partners and a great team around me. Kuba (Chycki – Adamek’s physical coach), trainer Roger Bloodworth – these guys did a great job in the last two months. As Eric said, ‘We are not about talking what we will do, we are ready to actually do it.’ Molina likes to mix it up, likes to throw punches, and is not afraid. This has to be a great fight just because of that. There’s no what’s after the Molina fight for me. This is the fight which will decide my future. A win means I’m on track for big fights, losing means I cannot do it anymore. What I know is that for this fight I’m much better prepared than I was for both the Glazkov and Szpilka bouts. Maar, natuurlijk, what happens in ring will verify our words.”
ERIC “Drummer Boy” MOLINA: “For the first time in my career I got 70 days to prepare; unprecedented in the heavyweight division. What do I know about Adamek? He’s a warrior and people in Poland expect great things from him because he’s a Polish boxing legend. In me, he will have a chance to fight one of the best heavyweights in the division and we all will know where we stand. Ik heb er alle vertrouwen, not only that I will win this war op zaterdag, but also of being the first Mexican-American heavyweight in the future. People will get their money worth op zaterdag. I can guarantee that. Adamek is highly rated by WBC and IBF, the two most active organizations in boxing. Saturday’s winner will be in the driver’s seat for great fights in the future.”
MICHAL CIESLAK: “I also thought that you’re bigger. And I also hope that everything what you’re saying about how good your training camp was is the truth. I can promise you that I will be ready for everything. I’m in the best shape of my life and I will prove that op zaterdag. Palacios, be ready to fight! I cannot wait anymore to put on a big show.”
FRANCISCO “De tovenaar” PALACIOS: “He wants to treat me like a stepping stone but the problem with that is I’m not a stepping stone for anyone. I’m a rock! You want to beat me, you have to kill me. And by the way, I thought that Cieślak is bigger. You cannot judge what I can or cannot do just because I’ve got knocked out by Kudryashov in my last fight. It means nothing. Eerst en vooral, it happens in boxing and the more importantly, it has nothing to do with what I’m ready to do now with my new team and “Chill” Wilson on my side. Just watch: The Wizard Time is coming again.”

Introductie van Puerto Ricaanse zwaargewicht Jose Medina

Laat een reactie achter

Jose Medina.jpg

 

winter Haven, FL (Maart 21, 2016) - Als een jonge jongen opgroeien in Puerto Rico, Jose Medina keek omhoog naar dezelfde vechters die voor altijd gegrift in hun rijke boksen geschiedenis.

 

Van Felix Trinidad om Miguel Cotto en Juan Manuel Lopez, Medina hadden vele uitstekende strijders te bewonderen. Er was een groot verschil nochtans. Medina was aanzienlijk groter dan alle van de groten der aarde die is opgegroeid op het boksen gek eiland dat zit 1,100 mijl ten zuiden van Key West.

 

op 6'3 260 lbs, Medina is dan 75 pond groter dan de grootste native Puerto Ricaanse naar een wereld titel in Jose Torres te vangen. Die dimensionering Medina voordat het zien van hem in actie kan zijn conditionering vraag, maar de 19-jarige is niet alleen pure bulk niettemin. In de sportschool, stablemates noemde hem "Kung Fu Panda" als gevolg van zijn schokkend indrukwekkende behendigheid en de eenvoud in het kwadraat cirkel.

 

Als amateur, Medina gevangen drie Puerto Ricaanse Nationale Kampioenschappen voor de verhuizing naar Florida in 2015 waar hij veroverde de Florida State Police Athletic League (PAL) titel samen met Zilver in de Paul Murphy Championships. Hij heeft ook al snel een grote aanhang, als de omgeving van Orlando heeft een van de grootste Puerto Ricaanse bevolking in de VS..

 

Echter, dat betekent niet dat er geen twijfelaars.

 

"Toen hij kwam hier voor het eerst, hij deed nooit krachttraining eerder,"Zei trainer Marco Fazzani. "Mensen zagen hem toen we voor het eerst gingen naar sportscholen en ze dachten dat hij een slappe was vanwege zijn uiterlijk. Dat totdat we hem in de ring en iedereen besefte Medina is geen grap. Sinds hij is hier trainen, Hij groeide twee duim en werd een stuk fysiek sterker. Verder werken we elke dag om zijn lichaamsbouw te verbeteren. "

 

Op maart 4, Medina maakte zijn professionele debuut op de A La Carte Event Paviljoen in Tampa tegen Richard White. Toegegeven nerveus, Medina overwon de verwachte kriebels die bij het verwijderen van de hoofddeksels voor het eerst kwam en scoorde een tweede ronde knock-out.

 

Na gegaan door het Witte bout zonder incidenten, Medina vecht voor de tweede keer in minder dan 30 dagen wanneer hij voldoet aan Todd Bradley van Brandon, FL in een vier ronde wedstrijd als onderdeel van Mad Integrity Fight Sports’ "Bombs Away 5" Zaterdag, April 2in het Bayfront Hilton in St. Petersburg, FL. Als een vechter die nog in ontwikkeling is in veel opzichten, Medina begrijpt het belang van een verblijf druk en opgewonden dan nerveus voor zijn tweede professionele gevecht.

 

"Ik ben erg dankbaar om te vechten op deze kaart,"Zei Medina. "We verwachten een grote opkomst op April 2. Ik heb gezien Bradley vechten voor, maar ik geef nooit mijn game plan weg. Most importantly, Ik wil mijn fans veel entertainment te geven en als overwinnaar tevoorschijn. "

 

Promoter Joey Orduna van Mad Integrity Fight Sports, die was weliswaar verrast bij het zien van Medina in actie, kijkt ernaar uit om met hem op de kaart.

 

"Jose heeft een heleboel talent en hij is zeker gaan om een ​​nietje in de Tampa-St Petersburg gebied als hij zich ontwikkelt. Hij heeft al kregen een zeer goede fanbase en als een zwaargewicht met snelheid en kracht, het aantal mensen die hem volgen zal alleen maar toenemen. Ik ben opgewonden om hem te zien gaan om te werken aan de 2nd en geloven degenen die hem niet eerder gezien zijn in voor een traktatie. "

 

Het Medina-Bradley matchup wordt gekenmerkt op een tien bout kaart bevorderd door Mad Integrity Fight Sporten bij de Bayfront Hilton in Sint-Petersburg, FL. De kaart bevat een aantal Sunshine State kladjes waaronder het main event tussen weltergewicht Ali Tareh, 13-11-5 (6 KO's) van Tampa tegen Juan Aguirre, 6-16-1, van Jacksonville in een acht ronder, samen met de langverwachte lichtgewicht matchup tussen St. Petersburg Jose "Lil’ Pacquiao "Resendez, 4-0 (2 KO's), en Raul Chirino, 7-1 (3 KO's), uit Miami. De kaart beschikt over een totaal van tien aanvallen en tickets vanaf $35 zijn nu te koop door te bellen naar 813-507-5110.

Building a Better Heavyweight: The Medical Dream Team Behind Undefeated Heavyweight Justin ‘Jawbreaker’ Jones

Laat een reactie achter

A prominent group of experts has been assembled to form the team behind undefeated boxer Justin “Jawbreaker” Jones and together, they are building a better heavyweight.
Louisiana-born and Houston-based heavyweight Justin Jones is still a relative unknown on the world boxing scene, but based on the support he receives in training, that may be about to change.
Heading up the team is Jones’ advisor, a man once known as the youngest promoter in Louisiana State history, Kerry Daigle.
Daigle, a long-time respected staple of the Southern boxing scene, as well as a top executive for Juice Plus personal health and safety products, brought in some medical heavy hitters to assist coaches Maurice “Termite” Watkins and Eleazar Renteria with the hidden side of training a fighter: voeding.
Dr. Roy Vartabedian is a best-selling international author who has specialized in the field of health promotion and disease prevention for over 30 jaar. He also holds a Master of Public Health degree in Health Education and Nutrition.
Vartabedian’s book, Nutripoints, was a New York Times Best-Seller, and has been used in a total of 13 countries in 10 languages worldwide.
“The challenge is when these guys are working out so much, once or twice a day, they’re actually having a problem with losing muscle because it’s hard for them to eat enough calories to maintain their weight,” said Vartabedian, “or the way they do it is unhealthy which will decrease their stamina and endurance.”
The average person, says Vartabedian only needs 2000 naar 2500 calories per day. Heavyweight fighters in training need somewhere in the neighborhood of 4000 naar 4500.
“Justin is at 232 lbs right now. He’s at his best at 238. Zo, he wants to be on an alkaline diet, which supposedly creates alkalinity in the body which is healthier than acidity for peak performance. That’s means a plant-based and unprocessed food diet. The problem with that kind of diet is it’s very high in bulk and low on calories. What I’ve done is fine tune it for him. I’ve given him a list of high-calorie, good fat foods and added them to his diet so he’s getting more calories and good fats and more fiber. I’m recommending to increase calories in a healthy way with lots of almonds, cashews, sunflowers seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, macadamia nuts, all unsalted. This will add about 500 calories to a person’s diet in about three handfuls a day.”
Dr. Charles H. Campbell is a Board Certified Ophthalmologist, specializes in retinal disease. A world-renowned surgeon and the founder and Medical Director of South Texas Retina Consultants, Campbell has given his life to the treatment of macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachments and tears, macular holes and puckers, floaters, retinal vein occlusions, complications of cataract surgery, vitritis/uveitis.
Campbell has also lent his talents and know-how to the management of fighters, including former heavyweight contender Skip Scott.
“We’re making sure he stays in shape by maintaining a clean lifestyle,” said Campbell. “We make sure he’s eating right. I feel like athletes think they can get all the protein they want, but most of us get 110 grams a day, which is way too much. Zo, we can regulate his water and protein intake. He probably needs 10-12 servings of fruit, so we give him Juice Plus which is proven to put about 6 ½ servings into your body.”
Campbell says a common mistake fighters make is in their fluid intake.
“Most of these athletes don’t drink enough water. For his size he probably needs a gallon and a half a day. But mostly, I hope to help him make sure he doesn’t get off track and eat bad foods.”
Daigle has big plans for Jones, who recently signed with Warriors Boxing and Leon Margules, one of the top promotional firms in the world. It was Warriors Vice-President Dominic Pesoli who first gave Jones the added moniker of “Triple J.”
“There is no heavyweight that has better foot movement and throws more combinations than Triple J,” said Daigle. “Once given the opportunity Justin will surprise the world. There are a lot of taller heavyweights that are rated in the top 10 in every sanctioning body. These guys are made-to-order for him. We are excited about his future in the NEW heavyweight division.”
The fighter himself says the help of his medical dream team has been immeasurable already.
“The difference has been incredible,” zei Jones. “I don’t want this secret to get out to other fighters! They both got me on Juice Plus for all its healthy vegetables and fruits and they’ve really changed my diet and given me a world of information on how to be healthy. I’ve changed how I eat with their help and it’s really benefitting me. I feel better more energized. When I started training I was 264. My last fight I was 230. It’s just getting me fit. Like a machine that can just go and go and go. That’s what they’re doing for me. I’m eating the right things to stay big but be in perfect shape at this size. I’m eating to gain weight and turning it to athletic muscle. They’re awesome. They’ve made a believer out of me.”

HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH ADDED TO NEF 22 Strijd kaart

Laat een reactie achter

Lewiston, Maine (Maart 10, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika's nummer een regionale strijd promotie, zal zijn volgende evenement te houden, “NEF 22: Alle wegen leiden HIER” op Zaterdag, April 23, 2016 bij de Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. De strijd kaart zal een mix van mixed-martial-arts voorzien (MMA) en professioneel boksen vlagen. Eerder vandaag, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” strijd kaart. Nick Gulliver (2-0) ontmoet Dave Smith (2-1) at a fight weight of 265-pounds.

 

Nick Gulliver is a product of John Raio’s First Class MMA gym of Brunswick, Maine, as well as the Foundry – een Braziliaans Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) in de eerste ronde. Gulliver followed up that victory with a technical knockout (WHO) win over Jason Field (0-2) this past November a mere 12-seconds into the first round. He hopes another win on 23 april will put him in line for a shot at the NEF MMA Amateur Heavyweight Title currently held by Billy Leahy (3-1).

 

“I’m looking forward to fighting again for NEF on 23 april, and I’m thankful for the opportunity that Matt Peterson and Nick Disalvo give me to fight for their amazing organization,” said Gulliver. “I’ll be fighting who I think is now the number one heavyweight fighter fighting for NEF, Dave Smith. This kid is a great fighter and good athlete. I’m looking forward to a great fight. I fight for two amazing schools and organizations, the Foundry and First Class MMA. This fight will be the first time I won’t be fighting in front of my father who is sick. It’s a lot for him to go to these events being so sick and on oxygen all the time. But my father stated he would make it to one last fight if I get a title shot. I think fighting Dave Smith and winning would put me in a good spot to fight for a title. I’m looking to get that fight in front of my father who pushes me to be the man I am today. Zo, for three rounds on 23 april, I’ll be pushing harder than I have in the past to get that opportunity. I’m always looking to impress the crowd. I think fighting someone like Smith will keep the crowd on their feet.”

 

Dave Smith is a member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Maine. Smith has an extensive wrestling background, weg zijn 147-17 while competing for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) and winning two state titles in the process. He also wrestled for Plymouth State University (PSU) in New Hampshire. Like Gulliver, Smith finished his first two opponents in the opening round. He is looking to bounce back from a loss to Brendan Battles (2-0) bij “NEF 21” vorige maand.

 

“I’m glad to be on another NEF card,” exclaimed Smith. “I am also very excited to be fighting Nick Gully. Nick has had a couple impressive wins and I think this will be a good fight! So get ready because it’s going to be a hell of a show.”

 

volgende evenement New England Fights ', "NEF 22: Alle wegen leiden HIER," vindt plaats Zaterdag, April 23, 2016 bij de Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Februari. 27, 2016) – Leeuw “Aardbeving” Santa Cruz defended his WBA Featherweight World Championship in convincing fashion op zaterdag nacht, knocking down Kiko “Sensación” Martinez twice in the first round, then ending it on a barrage of punches as the fight was called at 2:09 in the fifth round in the main event of a Showtime Championship Boxing doubleheader at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
In de co-functie op SHOW TIME, 29-jaar oud Hugo Ruiz (36-3, 31 KO), Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, regained his WBC Super Bantamweight World Title with a devastating early knockdown with just 51 seconds into the 12-round fight against 23-year-old Juli Ceja (30-2, 27 KO) of Atizapan De Zaragoza, Mexico, in a highly anticipated rematch of their August fight won by Ceja.
Fighting just 10 miles west of his hometown of La Habra and before 7,780 enthusiastic fans, the 27-year-old Santa Cruz (32-0-1, 18 KO) continued to establish himself as the King of Southern California as he punished the game 29-year-old Martinez (35-7, 26 KO) of Alicante, Valencia, Spanje, met 570 total punches in just five rounds. There were 1,038 total punches thrown during the fight.
“The fans love it when two fighters go toe-to-toe,” Santa Cruz told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray after the fight. “I wanted to give the fans a great fight. I knew I could hurt him with a right hand. He’s a fighter and when he’s knocked down, he’s going to come back. In the fifth round I knew I had to finish him off and I did.”
Santa Cruz continued, “We were going toe-to-toe from the beginning. He’s was throwing good punches I was throwing out good punches and the crowd was loving it. Then my dad told me to slow down and be smarter so we started boxing.”
Santa Cruz wasted no time getting the upper hand as the opening bell rung. He knocked Martinez out twice in the first round; the first just 23 seconds into the fight and the second on a devastating right hand at two minutes into the round prompting SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING play-by-play announcer Mauro Ranallo to tell expert analyst Al Bernstein: “We may be able to get to Disneyland before the end of the night.”
Martinez fell into a groove in the third and fourth rounds, but got into trouble two minutes into the fifth round as Santa Cruz had him up against the ropes connecting on numerous body shots, uppercuts and combinations before referee Raul Caiz Sr. signaled the end of the fight for Santa Cruz’s second straight world title defense in Southern California.
Martinez said that Santa Cruz, “started to move a lot and he broke my strategy and he fought a great fight. The second round I was getting looser and I was starting to feel much better.
“He was like a bull coming forward really strong,” Santa Cruz added. “He has definitely been one of the strongest fighters I’ve been in the ring with yet.
“Towards the end I said, ‘this is it, this is my opportunity to take him down. If I don’t finish him right here, it’s going to make it a really tough fight.’ So I said I was going at it with my all and thankfully it turned out the way that it did.”
Santa Cruz, making his second defense after capturing the world title from Abner Mares back in August, said someday he wants to break the records for most punches thrown in a fight. “I wanted to throw as many punches as I can so the fans could get a good show.”
Santa Cruz is now eyeing a future potential matchup with IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton bij 126 pond of Gary Russell. “I’m up for anyone,” he said. “I want the rematch with (Abner) Moeders. Since Frampton won, if he’s ready to go up in weight, I’m ready for him. I challenge him to a fight whenever he’s ready.”
In a rematch of the WBC Super Bantamweight World Title he lost last August, the new 122-pound champion Ruiz improved his record to 5-0 in rematches (met vijf knockouts) as he delivered a stunning first-round knockout against Ceja, who injured his right ankle on a powerful clean right just seconds into the fight sending him to the canvas.
Ceja got up slowly but was battered with a fury of punches and knocked out again with just 51 seconds into the fight ending the affair.
“I was very prepared to knock him out, but I was prepared to go 12 rondes vanavond also if I had to,” said Ruiz, who was teary and emotional following the victory. “I was happy to knock him out in the first round. I’m looking for the best fighters and the best money out there.”
Said SHOWTIME analyst Paulie Malignaggi: “I’ve never seen a first-round KO that soon in a fight of this much importance.” Added SHOWTIME’s Bernstein: “The right hand was the weapon of choice for Ruiz, and he got the job done. What a moment of redemption for Ruiz!”
Wenkbrauw, who beat Ruiz on a fifth-round knockout last August to win the world title, was hurt from the first series of Ruiz punches and never recovered in the intense first round.
Ceja was taken to nearby UC Irvine Hospital and diagnosed with a fractured right ankle.
“I saw that he got hurt with the first punch and I saw his leg wobbling and so I said, ‘Let’s finish’,” Ruiz said. “And I did in that round.”
Vroeger Zaterdag van Manchester, Engeland, op Showtime Boxing INTERNATIONAL, IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton unified the super bantamweight division with a split decision victory over WBA titlist Scott QUIGG.
The long-awaited matchup of unbeaten champions got off to a slow and tactical start, but Belfast native Frampton (22-0, 14 KO) established himself as the aggressor and worked his jab to pocket the early rounds. Quigg didn’t come alive until after the seventh, when trainer Joe Gallagher warned his charge that he was likely down big on the judges’ scorecards.
QUIGG (31-1-2) pounded the body and was the aggressor in rounds eight through 11, but it was too little, too late for the Lancashire, England native. Frampton won the 12th and walked away the unified champion by scores of 115-113 for Quigg, maar 116-112 twice for Frampton.
