MINNEAPOLIS - פברואר 26, 2023 -חבטות כוחסובריאל מטיאסהראה מדוע הוא הפך לאחד מאמני הנוקאאוט היוקרתיים ביותר של האגרוף כשעצר את הבלתי מנוצח בעברג'רמיאס פונסלאחר חמישה סיבובים כדי לזכות באליפות העולם הפנויה של IBF 140 פאונד במוצאי שבת בשידור חי ב-SHOWTIME מ-The Armory במיניאפוליס, בראש אירוע של Premier Boxing Champions.

מטיאס של פורטו ריקו (19-1, 19 קוס) כבש את התואר בקרב אש חשמלי שראה את שני המדורגים הגבוהים ביותר של 140 פאונד. 800 משולבים חבטות בחמישה סיבובים לפי CompuBox. בשביל מטיאס, הניצחון הגיע לשיאו מסע ארוך שהרחיק אותו ממשפחתו במשך כמעט שנה כשהתאמן במקסיקו לקראת ההזדמנות הראשונה שלו לתואר.

"אני על ענן תשע עכשיו,"אמר מטיאס. "אני לא חושב שהתעוררתי מהחלום הזה. אולי אוכל לספר לך איך זה מרגיש מחר, אבל כרגע, זה הגשמת חלום. רציתי לעבוד עליו מהסיבוב הראשון ואילך, כי ידעתי שלא יהיה לו אותו כוח כמוני בזמן שהקרב נמשך".

סַרְסוּר (30-1, 20 קוס) יצא אגרסיבי ביותר ונראה להחדיר את מטיאס מוקדם בזמן שזרק 96 אגרופים בסיבוב הראשון, יוצא להנחית את מטיאס 28 ל 11. מטיאס התאים בסיבוב השני, סוגר את המרחק ומחנק את פונס כדי להקהות חלק מההתקפות שלו ובמקביל למצוא נקודות למכות הכוח הקצרות שלו..

“חשבתי שזה קרב שווה, אבל אגרוף אחד יכול לשנות הכל וזה מה שקרה,"אמר פונס. "סובריל היא קשוחה, לוחם חזק וידעתי למה הוא מסוגל".

לאחר הנחיתה יד שמאל חזקה שפגעה בפונס בסוף הסיבוב הרביעי, מטיאס חזר נחוש וחד בסיבוב החמישי, נחיתה 47% מכות הכוח שלו במהלך שלוש הדקות. ברגעי הדעיכה של הסיבוב, מטיאסהנחית את המכות המכריעות, סדרה של יריות ראש וגוף שפגע קשות במטיאס והניח אותו על המזרן.

פונס הצליח להגיע אל השרפרף שלו, אבל הפינה שלו ראתה מספיק והציעה להפסיק את הקרב, כשהתוצאה הרשמית מגיעה כ-TKO בסוף הסיבוב החמישי.

"אני בסדר עכשיו,"אמר פונס. "הצוות שלי מכיר אותי, והם קיבלו את ההחלטה שהם צריכים לקבל. זה כואב, אבל הדבר הכי חשוב הוא שאני בריא."

"לא ממש הופתעתי,"אמר מטיאס. "פעם ראיתי איך הפינה שלו הגיבה. ראיתי את זה [סַרְסוּר] נפגע. חשבתי שיש לי סבלנות בארבעת הסיבובים הראשונים, אז יצאתי עם גישה ומחשבה שונה בחמישי".

אחרי הקרב, עם חגורת ה-IBF שלו בגרירה, מטיאס שם את עיניו לעימות איחוד מול אלוף העולם של WBC במשקל 140 פאונד, רג'יס פרוגראיס.

"רג'יס פרוגראיס, אני בא בשבילך,"אמר מטיאס. "אני אלוף העולם עכשיו. אני מבטיח שאני בא לפגוע בך. פרוגרייס אוהב לדבר, אבל יש לי את אותה מנטליות. בואו נראה מי ינצח. אני רוצה שהוא יראה שיש אנשים יותר משוגעים ממנו בספורט הזה".

במקרה שיתוף ראשי, מתמודד יליד מיניאפוליס ובעל משקל טובג'מאל "שאנגו" ג'יימס(28-2, 12 קוס) חזר מפיטורים של 16 חודשים כדי להלהיב קהל בעיר מולדת נמכר ולהרוויח ניצחון פה אחד אחרי 10 מחזורים מול אולימפי ארגנטינאיאלברט פלמטה(18-2, 13 קוס).

"אני די בטוח שכולם יכולים לראות שהפיטורין השפיעו עליי,"אמר ג'יימס. "הייתה בי הרבה חלודה. הרגליים שלי לא היו חדות, המכות שלי לא היו חדות, אבל אני שמח שהצלחתי להיכנס לשם. אהבתי את זה כי זה דוחף אותי נפשית וזה גרם לי לעלות לאירוע".

"חשבתי שזה קרב שווה,"אמרה פלמטה. "הייתי התוקפן לאורך כל הדרך מול אלוף עולם לשעבר, יריב גבוה יותר עם טווח הגעה ארוך ממני".

בפעולה הראשונה שלו מאז איבד את תואר ה-WBA שלו במשקל ולטר לראדז'אב בוטאיב באוקטובר 2021, ג'יימס קטף את הניצחון החמישי שלו בקריירה בגבולות הידידות של השריון. מנצל את יתרון הגובה וההישג הניכר שלו, ג'יימס הצליח לשלוט בחלק גדול מהאקשן ולהתמודד על הקרב בתנאים שלו.

"ניסיתי להסתגל,"אמר ג'יימס. "בהחלט הרגשתי שניצחתי בקרב אבל אני מאמין שיכולתי לעשות הרבה יותר טוב. אני יודע שאני הרבה יותר חד. אני יודע שהסיבולת שלי הרבה יותר חזקה. פשוט היה לי הרבה חופש והגוף שלי עדיין חוזר לכושר. אני אחזור בוודאות."

"אני גם אוהב להתנגד, אבל הגברתי את הלחץ במחצית השנייה של הקרב,"אמרה פלמטה. "אולי זה נראה כאילו ג'מאל ג'יימס היה עדיף במחצית הראשונה כי הוא המשיך להיות שמרן ולהתנגד".

פלמטה הצליחה להתנגד לג'יימס אבל לא הצליחה להרכיב מספיק שילובים או לפגוע בג'יימס במהלך הפעולה. היתרון של ג'יימס בא לידי ביטוי בכרטיסי הניקוד, כשהוא יצא לפלמטה 193 ל 111, כולל 153 ל 102 יתרון במכות כוח.

ג'יימס גם הצליח להשתמש במתקפת גוף חדה כדי להרחיק את פלמטה, נחיתה 68 לאורך הקרב, לעומת רק 20 מפאלמטה. בסיבוב תשע, חתך ימין חד גרם לפלמטה למעוד ולאפשר חילופי דברים סוערים שהסעירו את מעריצי עיר הולדתו של ג'יימס.

הקהל שוב קם על רגליו כשג'יימס ופלמטה צלפו מכות כוח לאורך הרגעים האחרונים של הסיבוב 10. ג'יימס שמר על הרקורד המושלם שלו ב-The Armory ללא פגע עם עשרות רבות של 99-91 ו 98-92 פעמיים.

"אני יודע שאני יכול להיות אלוף שוב כי הייתי אלוף לפני כן,"אמר ג'יימס. "אני חייב להישאר מרוכז. הישאר בחדר הכושר ובחזרה ותלמד את הקרב הזה - בעצם, שני הקרבות האחרונים שלי - ולהגביר את זה. תודה לכולם במיניאפוליס שבאו והראו לי אהבה".

בפותח הטלוויזיה, מתמודד סופר קל משקלאלביס רודריגז(14-1-1,12 קוס) התגבר על התחלה איטית כדי לזכות בהכרעת רוב קשה על הפגיעה הקשהיוסף אדורנו(17-2-2, 14 קוס) לאחר 10 סיבובים.

"חלודה טבעתית הייתה בהחלט גורם,אמר רודריגז. "אולי המאבק היה יותר נפשי מאשר פיזי במובן מסוים, אבל הדבר החשוב הוא שהתגברתי על זה".

אחרי כמה סיבובים מרגישים אחד את השני, אדורנו היה הראשון שזכה להצלחה, מראה התקפה מגוונת עם ווים לגוף ולראש. הוא ניקד סיבוב רביעי חזק עם כמה הוקס נגדים ממש לפני פעמון הסגירה.

בסיבוב החמישי האקשן החל להתחמם, עם רודריגז שמתחיל למצוא בית גם להתקפה שלו, תוך כדי ירי חוזר עקבי מאדורנו. רודריגס ישתלט בסופו של דבר על הקרב בסיבוב השביעי, הנחיתה קרס ימני מושלם שפגע קשות באדורנו. רודריגס עקב אחריו במהירות ואילץ את אדורנו אל הבד כדי להבקיע את הנוק-דאון, למרות שאדורנו הצליח להישאר בקרב ולעבור את הסיבוב.

"חשבתי שיש לי אותו ברגע שהנחתי את הקרס הימני הזה, אבל הוא קם,אמר רודריגז. "הוא לוחם ולוחם טוב... הסיבוב השביעי היה ענק, אז באמת התחלתי לנצח בקרב הזה. אני חייב לתת קרדיט לאדורנו על כך שהוא מתמצא וידע לשמור מרחק לפני כן".

רודריגס רכב על המומנטום הזה לאורך שאר הקרב, לצאת להנחית את אדורנו 52 ל 33 על פני סיבובים שביעי דרך 10. המתמודד שאומן פרדי רואץ' ניקד את ניצחונו בפריים האחרון, הנחיתה שמאלה שהשופט ג'ון שורל קבע נוק-דאון, למרות ההתנגדות של אדורנו, שהרגיש שהוא מועד במהלך חילופי הדברים.

לאחר 10 המחזורים רודריגס יצא מנצח בקלפי השופטים, כציון אחד של 94-94 הוכרע על ידי מספרים של 95-93 ו 97-91. אחרי קרב, אדורנו הביע את אמונתו שהצלחתו המוקדמת מספיקה לו כדי להשיג תוצאה טובה יותר, בעוד רודריגז שם את עיניו על האלוף החדש במשקל 140 פאונד מטיאס.

“חשבתי שהשופטים עיוורים,"אמר אדורנו. "אני לא יכול להשיג ניצחון עם השופטים האלה. אני לא יודע איך אתה רואה את הקרב 97-91. חשבתי שניצחתי בכל סיבוב מלבד אלו שהוא הפיל אותי. הוא אף פעם לא הצליח לי בכלל. היה לי את הדקירה בפנים שלו והצמדתי אותו לגוף. הוא לא יכל לעשות כלום. אין סיכוי שהוא ניצח שבעה סיבובים. חשבתי 94-94 היה בסדר בגלל שתי ההפלות.”

"כמו שאמרתי אתמול בשקילה, להביא את המנצח באירוע המרכזי,אמר רודריגז. "ולאנשים שלי ברפובליקה הדומיניקנית, רק דעו שבפעם הבאה אחזור אפילו יותר נועז ואפילו טוב יותר."

לאס וגאס (אוקטובר 13, 2021) – WBA Welterweight Champion ג'מאל "שאנגו" ג'יימס will defend his title against unbeaten contender Radzhab Butaev in a 12-round duel that headlines a night of action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, אוקטובר 30 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® המשדר מתחיל ב 10 p.m. ET p.m / 7. PT and features rising welterweight star Jaron “Boots” Ennis in a 10-round showdown against veteran contender תומס Dulorme באירוע המשותף העיקרית. Kicking off the telecast, exciting unbeaten lightweight contender מישל ריברה faces Argentina’s Matías Romero ב אטרקציה 10-עגולה.

כרטיסים לאירוע בשידור חי, המקודם על ידי מבצעי TGB, are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com. אניס נגד. Dulorme is promoted in association with D&אגרוף. ריברה vs. Romero is promoted in association with Sampson Boxing.

“A stacked lineup of top contenders and up-and-coming future champions will be on full display October 30 on SHOWTIME in Las Vegas,אמר טום בראון, נשיא מבצעי TGB. “Jamal James has battled his way to the highest levels of the welterweight division and will get one step closer to gathering elite status if he can overcome the unbeaten Radzhab Butaev. The undercard bouts will also feature two rising stars, as Jaron Ennis and Michel Rivera look to impress in tough matchups on a big stage.”

Minneapolis’ James (27-1, 12 קוס) returns to action after his previous outing saw him earn an interim title by defeating Thomas Dulorme in August 2020, before later being upgraded to the “regular” championship. The 33-year-old is riding a seven-bout winning streak that includes triumphs over Abel Ramos, Diego Gabriel Chaves and Antonio DeMarco, with four of those matchups coming in his hometown, where he has grown a rabid fan base. With a win on October 30, James moves nearer to a potential rematch of his first and only defeat against WBA Welterweight World Champion Yordenis Ugas.

Training is and has been at 100%,said James. “I’m excited to finally get back in the ring and defend my title. This will be the fight where I show everyone why I’m elite in this profession and should be recognized as one of the best.

The 27-year-old Butaev (13-0, 10 קוס) will finally square off against James in a long-awaited matchup ordered by the WBA. Butaev turned pro after approximately 400 amateur bouts in 2016 and reeled-off KOs in six of his first seven outings. Originally from Russia and now fighting out of Brooklyn, N.Y., Butaev returned to the ring in December 2020, stopping previously unbeaten Terry Chatwood in the third round.

“We’ve been working hard for a year leading up to this fight,” said Butaev. “Everything is going really well in camp and we’re excited to finally get in the ring against James. I’ve seen how James fights and it’s definitely going to be a clash of styles. I can just promise that I’m going to bring the war and make this an exciting fight. I’m going to start writing my history on October 30.”

Ennis (27-0, 25 קוס) is the latest in the pantheon of outstanding Philadelphia fighters, combining sublime boxing skills with natural power in both hands. After numerous appearances on ShoBox: הדור החדש, the 24-year-old Ennis graduated to headlining his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast in his last outing in April, as he became the first fighter to stop former world champion Sergey Lipinets. The knockout victory gave Ennis 17 KOs in his last 18 קרבות, with the only blemish being a no-decision in the first round against Chris van Heerden in December 2020.

“I’m glad to be back in the ring October 30 on SHOWTIME in Las Vegas,” said Ennis. “This is another step towards becoming world champion! They haven’t seen nothing yet. It’s time for me to continue to shine and be great. I can’t wait to show out and have some fun.”

The 31-year-old Dulorme (25-5-1, 16 קוס) has amassed a solid resume at 140 ו 147 pounds during his career, climbing into the ring with world champions Yordenis Ugas, Jessie Vargas and Terence Crawford. Born in Marigot, Guadeloupe but representing Carolina, פורטו ריקו, Dulorme rebounded from a loss to Crawford for a 140-pound title by scoring back-to-back knockouts, followed by a narrow decision loss to Ugas. The world title challenger is coming off solid efforts in back-to-back decision losses against Jamal James and Eimantas Stanionis.

“I think in the Stanionis fight I demonstrated that I am still at the top level,” said Dulorme. “A lot of people told me I won that fight and I thought I did too. I’m excited to face Ennis because he’s a good fighter, but he hasn’t fought anyone like me. The fans can expect another great performance from me on SHOWTIME.”

נולד בסנטו דומינגו, הרפובליקה הדומיניקנית ועכשיו נלחמת ממיאמי, פלורידה. ריברה (21-0, 14 קוס) פרץ למקום ב 2019, עושה את ארה"ב. הופעת בכורה עם ניצחון על חואן רנה טלז. בן 23 המשיך בעלייתו פנימה 2020, הוספת ניצחון עצירה מול פידל מלדונדו ג'וניור. והחלטה פה אחד ניצחה נגד המתמודד הקליל לדריוס מילר. Rivera has continued his dominance with a pair of knockout victories in 2021, stopping Anthony Mercado in February before most recently delivering a highlight-reel knockout of Jon Fernandez in July on SHOWTIME.

“Romero made a big mistake taking this fight,"אמרה ריברה. “What he’s seen from me in the gym, is not the same thing that he’s going to see on fight night. He is far from a fight night fighter. He folds under pressure or runs. הוא לוחם טוב, but he’s not at my level. I won’t let him go the distance like Isaac Cruz did. באוקטובר 30, I’m going to give him the beating of his lifetime.”

רומרו (24-1, 8 קוס) made his stateside debut in March, dropping a competitive decision to top lightweight contender Isaac Cruz on SHOWTIME. בעבר, the Cordoba, Argentina native picked up a pair of victories in 2020, winning a 12-round decision over Javier Jose Clavero in November, while stopping Gabriel Gustavo Ovejero in March. פרו מאז 2015, the 25-year-old will look to bounce back from his first defeat and move into title contention against another elite 135-pound opponent.

“Rivera and I have the same promoter and I personally requested for Sampson Lewkowicz to let me fight him when I saw he had no opponent,” said Romero. “I am willing to step in because I know I can beat him. We have trained at the same gym, but never sparred. His style is perfect for my style. This is going to be another victory for me to add to my collection.”

MINNEAPOLIS (פבואר 24, 2019) – אנתוני Dirrell (33-1-1, 24 קוס) ניצחאבני ילדרים (21-2, 12 קוס)by technical split decision (96-94 X 2 for Dirrell, 98-92 for Yildirim) for the vacant WBC Super Middleweight World Championship in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes from the Armory in Minneapolis. Referee Mark Nelson stopped the contest in the tenth round due to an accidental clash of heads and a cut over Dirrell’s left eye with the decision going to the scorecards.

I was upset with the stoppage because I wanted finish the fight like a champion,” סעיד Dirrell. “It feels great getting my WBC belt back. We want to unify against Caleb Plant or any of the champions. I’m just going to go home, take some time, talk to my camp and then we’ll go from there. If the Benavidez fight comes calling then I’ll fight him.

I thought I was winning this fight by more than what the judges had,” added Dirrell. “I was jabbing him and he was applying some pressure, but that’s just what he does. I won the fight though and that’s all that matters.

Minneapolis-native ג'מאל ג'יימס (25-1, 12 קוס) scored a crowd-pleasing technical knockout win over Janer Gonzalez (19-2-1, 15 קוס). Midway through the sixth stanza, James appeared to drop Gonzalez with a straight overhand right, but referee Gary Miezwa declared it a slippage. Near the end of the sixth round, James landed another knockdown and this time it counted and hurt Gonzalez. At the close of round six, Gonzalez went to his corner and never came out with the fight being declared a sixth-round stoppage as Gonzalez was unable to answer the bell for the seventh round.

This is the best crowd I’ve ever fought in front of,” said James. “We packed this place out. Middle of winter, snow all around us and they still came out and showed a lot of support. I can’t even explain the feeling to come out here and stop (גונזלס). The only question I have is where’s my belt? I’m ranked third in the WBA. Keith Thurman got the belt, Pacquiao got the belt. But in all honesty, whoever gives me that opportunity I’m stepping in there with them.

He gave me a great fight, but at the end of the day I had too much to offer and he couldn’t get back up,” continued James. “I just kept my range and was able to counter on him. And when he was coming in he was coming in real wild and opening himself up for some big shots that I was able to take advantage of. The first time he went down I thought it was a legitimate knockdown, but the ref was a good ref. I definitely caught him with a good combination and a nasty body shot for the second knockdown. אחרי זה, I knew that took the rest of the fight out of him and all I had to do was finish the job.

I was thinking this was a very important fight for my career,” אמר גונזלס. “I was so happy for this fight, it just didn’t go my way. I am going to fight again, למרות ש. Every fight is a learning experience for me.

The FS1 and FOX Deportes opening bout featured a hard-fought rematch betweenג'ייסון רוסאריו (18-1-1, 13 קוס) ו מרקוס הרננדז (13-2-1, 3 קוס). בפברואר של 2018, the two fought to a draw. במשחק הגומלין, Rosario was able to secure a technical knockout with referee Celestino Ruiz halting the action 2:45 into the ninth frame. בזמן הפסקה, Hernandez was up on judge Kyle Shiely’s scorecard (77-75) with Rosario ahead on judges John Mariano’s and Tim Taggart’s scorecards (78-74, 77-75).

He let his guard down and he kept making the same mistakes,” said Rosario. “When I saw the opportunity, I dropped him.

The first time we fought I wasn’t ready,” added Rosario. “I was weak. But I learned from the first fight what to do in the second one. That’s how I took him out.

It was a close fight that could have went either way,” סעיד הרננדז. “He hit me with a good shot. I got up and felt O.K. I was just trying to dodge some shots and he hit me with a left. He was firing and I just should have thrown back.

I think the ref stopped the fight early, but that’s not my job,” continued Hernandez. “I’d definitely welcome a third fight with Rosario, למרות ש. I’ve never been afraid to fight anyone, so fighting him a third time wouldn’t be a problem at all.

In the Premier Boxing Champions on FS2 prelims, בראיינט Perrella (16-2, 13 קוס) won a unanimous decision (78-74, 79-73 X 2) על Breidis Prescott (31-16, 22 קוס).

I’m very happy with my performance tonight,” סעיד Perrella. “I felt great going the distance. My endurance was fantastic. I would have been much more aggressive and thrown harder shots, but I hurt my hand in the second round and it was hurting the rest of the fight. I just used my jab and ring generalship to control the fight and get the win.

The FS2 co-feature saw Money Powell IV (9-0, 5 קוס) stop Javier Frazier (8-9-1, 4 קוס) by third-round technical knockout (2:03). Powell landed 86 punches in the bout, 36 of which were to Frazier’s body.

This training camp we really worked on a lot of body shots,” said Powell. “I feel like body shots are neglected nowadays and body shots pay the bills, break you down real quick.

In the FS2 swing bout, Austin Dulay (13-1, 10 קוס) scored a very quick first-round knockdown of Yardley Cruz (24-13, 14 קוס) before cruising to a third-round stoppage (:27).

I just listened to my coaches and they told me to be a dog and come forward,” said Dulay. “I thought I had him stopped with that first knockdown after the opening bell, but I didn’t want to rush into anything because he has a ton of experience.

I want a rematch with Chris Colbert right away on the April 13 card here at the Armory,” added Dulay. “I got back in camp after that loss, figured out what was wrong, got a nutritionist and moved up to 135 קילו. אני מרגיש טוב יותר מאי פעם, so I’m definitely ready for that rematch.

In the opening televised bout on FS2, Justin Pauldo (12-1, 6 קוס) scored a first-round knockdown and stoppage (1:17) נגד Federico Malespina (16-11-2, 2 קוס) who was unable to continue.

I landed a solid straight right hand,” said Pauldo. “I saw him fall back into the ropes and I knew I had him hurt. אז, I touched the body and got him out of there quickly.

כרטיסים למכירה עכשיו!

MINNEAPOLIS (ינואר 16, 2019) – Former super middleweight world champion Anthony Dirrellgets an opportunity to rejoin the championship ranks when he battles top contenderאבני ילדרים for the vacant WBC Super Middleweight Championship in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes Saturday, פבואר 23 from The Armory in Minneapolis, מינסוטה.

סיקור טלוויזיוני מתחיל ב 10 p.m. ET p.m / 7. PT with welterweight championship contender ג'מאל ג'יימס fighting in his hometown for a third straight time against Janer González in a special 10-round attraction in the co-feature.

Tickets for the event, which is promoted by Warriors Boxing and TGB Promotions, are on sale now, and can be purchased at the Armory athttp://ArmoryMN.com/and through Ticketmaster.

Fight fans in Minneapolis and watching on FS1 and FOX Deportes are in for a treat with this high stakes world title showdown between Anthony Dirrell and Avni Yildirim,” אמר ליאון Margules, נשיא Warriors האיגרוף. “Dirrell has been a champion and amongst the division’s elite for years, while Yildirim always comes to fight and will be determined to make the most of this opportunity. With the addition of local fan-favorite Jamal James in welterweight action, this is shaping up to be a can’t miss night at The Armory.

Anthony Dirrell took a long, difficult road to get to the super middleweight championship and he has worked hard to get into position to reclaim the title,” said Tom Brown, נשיא מבצעי TGB. “Avni Yildirim has been one of the most active contenders in the division and he has gained significant experience since his last opportunity to win a championship. He will need all that and more to get past Dirrell. And it’s going to be a special night watching Jamal James fighting for his hometown fans again.

Dirrell (32-1-1, 24 קוס) won the WBC Super Middleweight Championship with a unanimous decision victory over Sakio Bika in 2014. It was the culmination of a long, hard road for Dirrell of Flint, Michigan after he successfully battled non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and was cleared to return to boxing after completing chemotherapy in 2008. His reign as world champion was cut short when the 34-year-old Dirrell lost the title by majority decision to Badou Jack in 2015. He has won five straight since that loss to climb back into contention for a chance to become a two-time world champion.

This is just like every other fight where we’re going to work on a game plan and execute that game plan in the ring,” סעיד Dirrell. “I saw him fight Chris Eubank and it showed me some things. He’s a come forward fighter. That’s the kind of guy I like to fight. He’s tailor-made for me. I’m going to do what I do best and that’s fight. I’ve been keeping my mind, body and soul together and staying focused to know what I have to do to become two-time WBC champion.

ילדרים (21-1, 12 קוס) is one of the most active contenders in the super middleweight division. The 27-year-old from Istanbul, Turkey has fought at least four times a year since 2014. The fight against Dirrell will be only the second time that he has fought in the United States after defeating Glen Johnson in Miami in 2015. Yildirim suffered the only loss of his professional career by stoppage against Chris Eubank, ג 'וניור. ב 2017. In his last fight he won a majority decision against Lolenga Mock and he enters this fight on a five-fight winning streak.

I’m very thankful to everyone who helped me get this opportunity and I know that I have all the tools to beat Anthony Dirrell,” said Yildirim. “Dirrell is a good fighter, but I believe I bring more to the table than him. I’m coming to win and bring the belt home to Turkey. I waited all my boxing life for this stage and I am ready to give him a war.

ג'יימס (24-1, 11 קוס) has become a local favorite and will be fighting in front of his hometown crowd in Minneapolis for the third straight time. The 30-year-old James has rolled off four consecutive victories since suffering the first loss of his careera unanimous decision loss to Yordenis Ugאs in 2016. In his last fight James stopped Mahonry Montes by knockout on August 24 on FS1. גונזלס (19-1-1, 15 קוס) is a power-puncher from Cartagena, Colombia and is coming off the first loss of his career via a unanimous decision to Radzhad Butaev in 2017.

I’m hungry to make 2019 the year that I get that world title,” said James. “I’m focused on my opponent, but in this fight I’m going to keep showing off the skills and speed that makes me the next champion. I’m extremely grateful to be fighting again at home and to keep bringing PBC to Minneapolis. I’m going to be the next champion from here and the journey starts fresh for 2019 when I step into that ring on February 23.

I’m excited for this opportunity to fight Jamal James in his backyard and leave all his hometown fans disappointed,” said Gonzalez. “I’m training harder than ever to bounce back from my loss and show everyone what I’ve learned. This victory is going to put me back on the path to becoming word champion.

MINNEAPOLIS (נִשׂגָב 24, 2018) – מתמודד משקל וולטר ג'מאל ג'יימס (24-1, 11 קוס)gave his hometown crowd a treat as he sent Mahonry Montes (35-8-1, 24 קוס)to the canvas for a second round knockout in the main event of a jam-packed three-hour night of אלופי אגרוף לראש הממשלה, action Friday fromthe Armory in Minneapolis, מינסוטה.

 

 

 

I came out here to make a statement and I’m even happier to be able to do it right here at home,” said James. “The support in Minnesota is amazing and it gave me the extra motivation to get the job done in spectacular fashion. Everyone knows I attack the body and tonight I was able to use it to get the finish

 

 

 

In his second straight fight at the Armory, James made a statement by quickly dispatching Mexico’s Montes with a punishing left hook to the body that left his opponent crumpled on the canvas.

 

 

 

James broke through in the last 30 שניות של הסיבוב השני, landing numerous unanswered right hands that put Montes in immediate trouble. James finished the show with the devastating body shot that eventually forced referee Mark Nelson to halt the bout at 2:58 של הסיבוב.

 

 

 

I feel like I’m ready for the elite welterweights and tonight proved it again,” said James. “I’m going to keep working hard and taking down anyone they put in front of me. It’s time for me to make my mark in the division.

 

 

 

במקרה שיתוף ראשי, מתחרה בינוני וילי מונרו Jr. (23-3, 6 קוס) showed off his boxing skill and picked apart Javier Francisco Maciel (33-7, 23 קוס) to score a unanimous decision in their 10-round bout.

 

 

 

Monroe was dominant with his jab, movement and an array of offensive attacks. He was able to vary his punches enough to keep the aggressive Maciel from landing anything that caused damage.

 

 

 

Maciel looked to score with power punches and body shots, but the former title challenger Monroe was comfortable on the outside and mixing it up inside on his way to winning the fight by scores of 99-91 ו 100-90 פעמיים.

 

 

 

The opening bout of the telecast featured fast-rising prospect and 2016 Lithuanian Olympian Eimantas Stanionis (7-0, 5 קוס) as he earned a unanimous decision over לבאן Ghvamichava (18-4-1, 13 קוס)in their eight-round welterweight matchup.

 

 

 

Stanionis rode a powerful jab and sharp combination punching to the dominant victory as he faced the toughest opposition of his pro career to date. Ghvamichava was game and tried to counter the hard-charging Stanionis but was too often taking the worst of exchanges on the inside. At the end of the action all three judges saw the bout in favor of Stanionis by scores of 80-72 ו 79-73 פעמיים.

 

 

 

Additional action saw ג'ייסון רוסאריו (16-1-1, 11 קוס) להבקיע החלטה פה אחד על Jamontay קלארק (13-1, 7 קוס) in their 10-round super welterweight bout.

 

 

 

Rosario scored a highlight reel knockdown with a counter right hand in the third round that saw Clark tumble out of the ring. Clark was able to return to the ring and beat the count, but he took more damage throughout the bout before losing the decision by scores of 99-90, 98-91 ו 97-92, all in favor of Rosario.

 

 

 

A scheduled heavyweight bout ended in shocking fashion before it ever began, as heavyweight prospect Efe Ajagba (6-0, 5 קוס) was awarded a victory by disqualification against קרטיס הארפר (13-6, 9 קוס) when Harper exited the ring moments after the opening bell rang, opting not to face Ajagba.

Jamal James is building a following in his hometown of Minneapolis as he builds momentum in the welterweight division, and this fight against Mahonry Montes will help him accomplish both things,” said Tom Brown, נשיא מבצעי TGB. “The undercard features some strong matches that include boxers who will figure prominently into the championship picture in the near future. It will be an entertaining show for the fans in Minneapolis and those tuning in on FS1 and FOX Deportes.

 

 

 

Warriors Boxing is very excited to return to the beautiful newly-renovated Armory in Minneapolis with another PBC on FS1 and FOX Deportes show,” אמר ליאון Margules, נשיא Warriors האיגרוף. “In addition to the great lineup of televised fights, headlined by local star Jamal James, favorite son and former world champion Caleb Truax returns to the ring at home for the first time since back-to-back road performance in world title fights.

 

ג'יימס (23-1, 10 קוס) built on the biggest victory of his careera knockout over tough veteran Diego Chaves last Decemberwith a decision win against Abel Ramos in April at the Armory and on FS1. The 30-year-old James has picked up three-straight victories since suffering the only loss of his careera unanimous decision defeat to Yordenis Ugas in August 2016. He returns to downtown Minneapolis looking to keep his momentum going towards the top of the welterweight division.

 

 

 

I’m in camp training hard for another thriller at home against a pressure fighter in Mahonry Montes,” said James. “I’m going to use my height, range and skills to show that I’m hungry and keeping my eyes on the prize. Once I get past Montes, a big name is going to have to fight me. I’m right on the road to a world title challenge.

 

 

 

The 28-year-old Montes (35-7-1, 24 קוס) has challenged everyone from world champions to top rising prospects throughout his pro career and enters this bout having scored knockout victories in consecutive fights. Representing Sinaloa, מקסיקו, Montes owns a victory over welterweight contender Francisco Santana in a fight last year that saw Montes drop his opponent on the way to a decision victory.

 

 

 

I’m am so excited to have this opportunity against Jamal James,” said Montes. “My last loss was unfortunate because I thought I had my opponent hurt, but I’ve picked up a couple of wins since then and have been training very hard. I’m ready to show everyone that I belong with the best fighters in the world. I’m never in a bad fight and I’m going to show the fans in Minnesota how a real Mexican fights.

 

 

 

A two-time title challenger, מונרו (22-3, 6 קוס) has faced current titlists Gennady Golovkin and Billy Joe Saunders in his forays into championship fights. The 31-year-old from Rochester, New York has defeated Gabriel Rosado, Brian Vera and John Thompson since 2015 to earn multiple opportunities at the middleweight title. Monroe most recently won a dominant decision over Carlos Galvan in March.

 

 

 

Fighting out of Virginia, Aleem (18-1-1, 11 קוס) stopped Juan De Angel in the sixth-round of their May fight to get back in the win column after his first defeat in a bout against Hugo Centeno Jr last August. The 24-year-old had stopped then unbeaten Ievgen Khytrov in the sixth round of a January 2017 fight that became a Fight of the Year nominee prior to the Centeno fight.

 

 

 

23 בן קלארק (13-0, 7 קוס) has used his height and reach to establish himself as a fast-rising prospect on his way to contender status. The Cincinnati-native had two impressive victories in 2017, first defeating then unbeaten Ivan Golub and then a decision victory over Domonique Dolton last November as he came out victorious against his toughest pro opponent so far.

 

וַרדִינָה (15-1-1, 11 קוס) fights out of Miami but is originally from the Dominican Republic. Rosario suffered his first defeat last year at the hands of Nathaniel Gallimore, but has rebounded to be undefeated in his last four fights. This run has seen the 23-year-old fight to a draw with Mark Anthony Hernandez in February before defeating Justin DeLoach and dropping him twice on his way to a decision victory in May.

MINNEAPOLIS (אפריל 14, 2018) – מתמודד משקל וולטר ג'מאל ג'יימס (23-1, 10 קוס) earned a hard fought majority decision over הבל ראמוס (18-3-2, 13 קוס) in front of his hometown fans Friday night in the main event of אלופי אגרוף לראש הממשלה, ב FS1 ו ספורט FOX from the Armory in Minneapolis.

 

 

 

It feels so great to get this win in Minneapolis in front of all of my people here,” said James, “Ramos was a tough opponent who gave me a great challenge, but I was able to keep my composure and give the fans a win.

 

 

 

James used his 6-foot-2 frame and reach advantage to beat Ramos to the punch in round one, but was clipped in round two by a left hook from the game Ramos that had the local favorite in temporary trouble and on the defensive.

 

 

 

The Minneapolis-native was able to regain his composure and return to the offensive as he poured right hands behind a strong jab along with movement that made it difficult for Ramos to land cleanly. Ramos continued to charge forward however, emphasizing body shots that slowed James down and allowed him to win rounds.

 

 

 

I had to dig down tonight but I think it was a good fight for me to grind out,” said James. “I’m going to keep getting better and I hope to have a chance to display my talents at home again. I know if I keep working, I’m going to get a chance to prove myself against the best out there.

 

 

 

James was able to send the hometown fans happy after 10 סיבובים, with judges giving him the majority decision by scores of 95-95 ו 96-94 פעמיים.

 

 

 

The telecast also featured a spirited 10-round lightweight clash that saw Edner דובדבן (37-7-2, 19 קוס)earn a close but unanimous decision over דניס Galarza(16-3, 9 קוס).

 

 

 

Galarza controlled the early action with his jab and a powerful right hand that appeared to have Cherry stunned in the first round. His length advantage was key until Cherry was able to establish position on the inside.

 

 

 

Cherry began to land several powerful shots on Galarza with both hands in the middle rounds, backing Galarza up and taking away much of power on his shots. Galarza tried to back off and box Cherry more down the stretch, but was unable to avoid the oncoming Cherry as often as he needed.

 

 

 

לאחר 10 rounds all three judges favored the work of Cherry by scores of 97-93 ו 96-94 פעמיים.

 

 

 

In a battle of unbeaten prospects, כריס קולבר (8-0, 2 קוס) scored a TKO victory over Austin Dulay (11-1, 8 קוס)after seven rounds of lightweight action.

 

 

 

Colbert was first to the punch from the outset, landing straight right hands cleanly before flummoxing Dulay by switching to the southpaw stance. Colbert scored a knockdown in round six with a combo punctuated by a powerful body shot. After a dominant seventh round, referee Mark Nelson stopped the fight after checking on Dulay in his corner.

 

 

 

Additional action saw 6-foot-6 unbeaten prospect Sebastian “התופת המתנשאת” Fondora (9-0, 5 קוס) stop previously unbeaten Veshawn Owens (9-1, 9 קוס)ב 2:27 of the fifth round of their super welterweight fight and 17-year-old former amateur standout Joey Spencer (2-0, 2 קוס)deliver a dominant TKO 51 seconds into the first round against Ousmane Sylla (1–3-1, 1 KO) in a super welterweight contest.
