MINNEAPOLIS – February 26, 2023 -Power-punchingMatias sub-railshowed why he’s become one of boxing’s most vaunted knockout artists as he stopped the previously unbeatenJeremias Ponceafter five rounds to win the vacant IBF 140-pound World Championship Saturday night live on SHOWTIME from The Armory in Minneapolis headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Puerto Rico’s Matias (19-1, 19 KO) captured the title in an electric firefight that saw the two top-ranked 140-pounders throw over 800 combined punches in five rounds according to CompuBox. For Matias, the victory culminated a long journey that had him away from his family for nearly a year as he trained in Mexico for his first title opportunity.

“I’m on cloud nine right now,” said Matias. “I don’t think I’ve woken up from this dream. Maybe I can tell you how it feels tomorrow, ma in questo momento, it’s a dream come true. I wanted to work him from the first round on, because I knew he wouldn’t have the same power as me as the fight went on.”

magnaccia (30-1, 20 KO) came out extremely aggressive and looked to swarm Matias early as he threw 96 punches in round one, out landing Matias 28 a 11. Matias adjusted in round two, closing the distance and smothering Ponce to dull some of his attack while also finding spots for his own short power punches.

I thought it was an even fight, but one punch can change everything and that’s what happened,” said Ponce. “Subriel is a tough, strong fighter and I knew what he was capable of.”

After landing a powerful left hand that hurt Ponce late in round four, Matias returned determined and sharp in round five, atterraggio 47% of his power punches over the three minutes. In the waning moments of the round, Matiaslanded the decisive blows, a series of head and body shots that badly hurt Matias and put him on the mat.

Ponce was able to make it to his stool, but his corner had seen enough and suggested that the fight be stopped, with the official result coming as a TKO at the end of round five.

“I’m fine now,” said Ponce. “My team knows me, and they made the decision that they had to make. It hurts, but the most important thing is that I’m healthy.”

“I wasn’t really surprised,” said Matias. “Once I saw how his corner reacted. I saw that [magnaccia] was hurt. I thought that I was patient in the first four rounds, so I came out with a different approach and mindset in the fifth.”

Dopo la lotta, with his IBF belt in tow, Matias set his sights on a unification showdown against WBC 140-pound World Champion Regis Prograis.

“Regis Prograis, I’m coming for you,” said Matias. “I’m the world champion now. I promise that I’m coming to hurt you. Prograis likes to talk the talk, but I have that same mentality. Let’s see who prevails. I want him to see that there are people crazier than him in this sport.”

In caso di co-main, Minneapolis-native and welterweight contenderJamal “Shango” James(28-2, 12 KO) returned from a 16-month layoff to thrill a sold-out hometown crowd and earn a unanimous decision victory after 10-rounds against Argentine OlympianAlberto Palmetta(18-2, 13 KO).

“I’m pretty sure everybody can see that layoff affected me,” said James. “I had a lot of rust in me. My legs weren’t sharp, my punches weren’t sharp, but I’m glad I was able to get in there. I liked that because it’s pushing me mentally and it made me step up to the occasion.”

“I thought it was an even fight,”Ha detto Palmetta. “I was the aggressor throughout against a former world champion, a taller opponent with longer reach than me.”

In his first action since losing his WBA Welterweight Title to Radzhab Butaev in October 2021, James picked up his fifth career victory at the friendly confines of The Armory. Using his considerable height and reach advantage, James was able to control much of the action and contest the bout on his terms.

“I was trying to adapt,” said James. “I definitely felt like I won the fight but I believe I could’ve done much better. I know that I’m a lot sharper. I know that my endurance is a lot stronger. I just had a lot of time off and my body is still getting back in shape. I’ll be back for sure.”

“I also like to counter, but I ratcheted up the pressure in the second half of the fight,”Ha detto Palmetta. “Maybe it looked like Jamal James was superior in the first half because he kept being conservative and countering.”

Palmetta had success countering James but was unable to put together enough combinations or hurt James during the action. James’ edge was reflected on the scorecards, as he out landed Palmetta 193 a 111, compreso un 153 a 102 edge in power punches.

James was also able to use a sharp body attack to keep Palmetta at bay, atterraggio 68 throughout the fight, rispetto ad appena 20 from Palmetta. In round nine, a sharp right uppercut caused Palmetta to stumble and let to a raucous exchange that stirred James’ hometown fans.

The crowd again rose to their feet as James and Palmetta whipped power punches throughout the final moments of round 10. James kept his perfect record at The Armory intact by wide scores of 99-91 e 98-92 due volte.

“I know I can be a champion again because I was a champion before,” said James. “I have to stay focused. Stay in the gym and back and study this fight – actually, my last two fights – and step it up. Thanks to everybody in Minneapolis for coming and showing me love.”

In apertura trasmissione televisiva, super lightweight contenderElvis Rodriguez(14-1-1,12 KO) overcame a slow start to earn a hard-fought majority decision over the hard-hittingGiuseppe Adorno(17-2-2, 14 KO) dopo 10 round.

“Ring rust was definitely a factor,"Ha detto Rodriguez. “Maybe the struggle was more mental than physical in a way, but the important thing is that I overcame it.”

After a couple of rounds feeling each other out, Adorno was the first to have success, showing a varied attack with hooks to the body and head. He punctuated a strong fourth round with several counter hooks right before the closing bell.

In round five the action began to heat up, with Rodriguez starting to find a home for his offense as well, while still taking consistent return fire from Adorno. Rodriguez would eventually take control of the fight in the seventh roundlanding a perfect right hook that badly hurt Adorno. Rodriguez followed up quickly and forced Adorno to the canvas to score the knockdown, although Adorno was able to stay in the fight and make it through the round.

“I thought I had him once I landed that right hook, but he got up,"Ha detto Rodriguez. “He’s a warrior and a good fighter… The seventh round was huge, that’s when I truly started to win this fight. I have to give credit to Adorno for being savvy and knowing how to keep his distance before then.”

Rodriguez rode that momentum through the rest of the fight, out landing Adorno 52 a 33 across rounds seven through 10. The Freddie Roach-trained contender punctuated his victory in the final frame, landing a left that referee Jon Schorle ruled a knockdown, despite the objection from Adorno, who felt he was tripped during the exchange.

After the 10rounds Rodriguez emerged victorious on the judges’ cards, as one score of 94-94 was overruled by tallies of 95-93 e 97-91. Post-fight, Adorno expressed his belief that his early success was enough for him to earn a better result, while Rodriguez set his sights on the new 140-pound champion Matias.

I thought the judges were blind,disse Adorno. “I can’t get a win with these judges. I don’t know how you see the fight 97-91. I thought I won every round except the ones he dropped me. He never out worked me at all. I had the jab in his face and was snapping him to the body. He couldn’t do anything. No way he won seven rounds. I thought 94-94 was okay because of the two knockdowns.

“Like I said yesterday at the weigh-in, bring on the winner of the main event,"Ha detto Rodriguez. “And to my people in the Dominican Republic, just know that I’ll be back even bolder and even better next time.”

Prior to the telecast, the SHOWTIME BOXING COUNTDOWN show streamed live on theSHOWTIME SPORTS YouTube channel eShowtime Boxing pagina Facebook and was topped by a welterweight matchup that saw Minneapolis-nativeVe’Shawn Owens(14-3, 12 KO) score a unanimous decision overKudratillo Abdukakhorov(18-2, 10 KO) after 10-rounds.

LAS VEGAS (Ottobre 13, 2021) – WBA Welterweight Champion Jamal “Shango” James will defend his title against unbeaten contender Radzhab Butaev in a 12-round duel that headlines a night of action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Ottobre 30 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

IL CAMPIONATO DI BOXE SHOWTIME® trasmissione televisiva inizia a 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and features rising welterweight star Jaron "Stivali" Ennis in a 10-round showdown against veteran contender Thomas Dulorme in caso di co-main. Kicking off the telecast, exciting unbeaten lightweight contender Michel Rivera faces Argentina’s Matías Romero in a 10-round attraction.

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, che è promossa da Promozioni TGB, are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com. Ennis vs. Dulorme is promoted in association with D&D Boxe. Rivera 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,"Ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions 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 KO) 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%,” disse 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 KO) 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 KO) 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: La nuova generazione, 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 combattimenti, 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 KO) has amassed a solid resume at 140 e 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, Puerto Rico, 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.”

Nata a Santo Domingo, Repubblica Dominicana e ora combattendo fuori da Miami, Fla. Rivera (21-0, 14 KO) irruppe sulla scena 2019, facendo i suoi Stati Uniti. debut with a victory over Juan Rene Tellez. Il 23enne ha proseguito la sua ascesa 2020, aggiungendo una vittoria per interruzione contro Fidel Maldonado Jr. e una decisione unanime trionfa contro il contendente leggero LaDarius Miller. 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,", Ha detto Rivera. “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. He is a good fighter, but he’s not at my level. I won’t let him go the distance like Isaac Cruz did. Ottobre 30, I’m going to give him the beating of his lifetime.”

Romero (24-1, 8 KO) made his stateside debut in March, dropping a competitive decision to top lightweight contender Isaac Cruz on SHOWTIME. Precedentemente, 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. Un professionista dal 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,"Ha detto 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.”

With these two fightersstyles, plus a loaded undercard of exciting fights, this should make for a great night at the venue and live on FS1.

Giacomo (25-1, 12 KO) has become a local favorite and most recently thrilled the Armory crowd in February with a stoppage victory over Janer Gonzalez on FS1. The 30-year-old has rolled off five consecutive victories since suffering the first loss of his careera unanimous decision loss to Yordenis Ugsus in 2016. James has compiled three knockouts in his current win streak while defeating the likes of Diego Chaves, Abel Ramos and Jo Jo Dan.

I love being able to fight at home at The Armory, especially against a fighter like Antonio DeMarco,” disse James. “DeMarco has the skills and it is going to be a good step up and test for me. We have been chasing this title for the past year. Getting past DeMarco is the way to get there and that’s what I am going to do.

Minnesota fans are a different type of fans. They come out and show support. Having a place like the Armory to fight is a dream come true. There isn’t a bad seat when it comes to fights. We sell the place out in the winter, and now getting to fight in July, I know it is definitely going to be jam-packed.

A former lightweight world champion, DeMarco (33-7-1, 24 KO) owns victories over Jorge Linares and John Molina Jr. in a career that has seen him face a cavalcade of champions and top contenders. Representing Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Messico, DeMarco has gone the distance in every fight except against multiple-division champions Adrien Broner and Edwin Valero, e 2017 he knocked out then-unbeaten Eddie Ramirez on FOX in the first round. Last October he went the distance and lost a close decision to unbeaten Maxim Dadashev.

Here I come again!” ha detto DeMarco. “I am going to win this fight and upset Jamal James in his hometown. I have the experience to get the victory and I’m going to use it to make this a great fight on July 13.

Currently riding a three-fight winning streak, Helenius (28-2, 17 KO) farà il suo U.S. debutto nel luglio 13 after establishing himself as one of Europe’s top heavyweights for several years. Born in Sweden and fighting out of Mariehamn, Finlandia, Helenius knocked out Erkan Teper in September to earn his place in the IBF rankings. The 35-year-old has won six of his last seven fights.

Washington (19-3-1, 12 KO) is a 6-foot-6 heavyweight who was a former college football standout at the University of Southern California and a U.S. Navy veteran. Fighting out of Vallejo, California, Washington challenged heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in 2017 su FOX. He scored a unanimous decision victory over John Wesley Nofire in 2018 on FS1 before losing to Adam Kownacki on FOX in January.

Balderas (8-0, 7 KO) knocked out Luis May in April on FS1 as he continues to progress up the lightweight ladder. The 23-year-old from Santa Maria, California, era un membro del 2016 U.S. Olympic boxing team and scored three stoppage victories in 2018. He will be opposed by the 23-year-old Hernandez (9-2, 7 KO), who most recently defeated previously unbeaten Desmond Lyons in May. The Chicago-native bounced back from a loss to unbeaten Chris Colbert in January on FS1.

MINNEAPOLIS (Febbraio 24, 2019) – Anthony Dirrell (33-1-1, 24 KO) sconfittoAvni Yildirim (21-2, 12 KO)mediante decisione di scissione tecnica (96-94 X 2 per Dirrell, 98-92 per Yildirim) per il vacante WBC Super Middleweight World Championship nell'evento principale dei Premier Boxing Champions su FS1 e FOX Deportes dall'Armory a Minneapolis. L'arbitro Mark Nelson ha interrotto la gara al decimo round a causa di uno scontro accidentale di teste e di un taglio sull'occhio sinistro di Dirrell con la decisione che andava alle scorecard.

“Ero arrabbiato con l'interruzione perché volevo finire la lotta come un campione,” , ha detto Dirrell. “È fantastico riavere la mia cintura WBC. Vogliamo unirci contro Caleb Plant o uno qualsiasi dei campioni. Vado solo a casa, prenditi un po 'di tempo, parla con il mio campo e poi andremo da lì. Se la battaglia di Benavidez viene chiamata, allora lo combatterò.

“Pensavo di vincere questa battaglia con più di quello che avevano i giudici,” ha aggiunto Dirrell. “Lo stavo colpendo e lui stava esercitando una certa pressione, ma è proprio quello che fa. Ho vinto la battaglia però e questo è tutto ciò che conta.”

Nativo di Minneapolis Jamal James (25-1, 12 KO) ha segnato una vittoria ad eliminazione diretta tecnica gradita dal pubblico Janer Gonzalez (19-2-1, 15 KO). A metà della sesta strofa, James sembrava abbandonare Gonzalez con un destro dritto dritto, ma l'arbitro Gary Miezwa lo ha dichiarato uno slittamento. Verso la fine del sesto round, James ha atterrato un altro atterramento e questa volta ha contato e ha ferito Gonzalez. Alla fine del sesto round, Gonzalez è andato al suo angolo e non è mai uscito con la lotta dichiarata interruzione del sesto round poiché Gonzalez non è stato in grado di rispondere alla campana per il settimo round.

“Questa è la migliore folla a cui abbia mai combattuto,” disse James. “Abbiamo imballato questo posto. Mezzo inverno, neve tutt'intorno a noi e sono comunque venuti fuori e hanno mostrato molto supporto. Non riesco nemmeno a spiegare la sensazione di venire qui e fermarmi (Gonzalez). L'unica domanda che ho è dov'è la mia cintura? Sono al terzo posto nella WBA. Keith Thurman ha ottenuto la cintura, Pacquiao ha ottenuto la cintura. Ma in tutta onestà, chiunque mi dia questa opportunità, io intervengo con loro.

“Mi ha dato una grande battaglia, ma alla fine della giornata avevo troppo da offrire e lui non poteva rialzarsi,” ha continuato James. “Ho mantenuto il mio raggio d'azione e sono stato in grado di contrastarlo. E quando stava entrando, stava entrando in modo selvaggio e si stava aprendo per alcuni pezzi grossi che ho potuto sfruttare. La prima volta che è caduto ho pensato che fosse un atterramento legittimo, ma l'arbitro era un buon rif. L'ho sicuramente catturato con una buona combinazione e un brutto colpo al corpo per il secondo atterramento. Dopo di che, Sapevo che gli aveva tolto il resto della lotta e tutto quello che dovevo fare era finire il lavoro.”

“Pensavo che questa fosse una battaglia molto importante per la mia carriera,” Ha detto Gonzalez. “Ero così felice per questa lotta, semplicemente non è andata a modo mio. Combatterò di nuovo, anche se. Ogni combattimento è un'esperienza di apprendimento per me.”

L'incontro di apertura di FS1 e FOX Deportes è stato caratterizzato da una combattuta rivincita traJeison Rosario (18-1-1, 13 KO) e Marcos Hernandez (13-2-1, 3 KO). Nel febbraio del 2018, i due hanno combattuto per un pareggio. Nella rivincita, Rosario è stato in grado di assicurarsi un ko tecnico con l'arbitro Celestino Ruiz che interrompe l'azione 2:45 nel nono fotogramma. Al momento dell'arresto del gioco, Hernandez era in testa alla classifica del giudice Kyle Shiely (77-75) con Rosario in vantaggio sui punteggi dei giudici John Mariano e Tim Taggart (78-74, 77-75).

“Ha abbassato la guardia e ha continuato a fare gli stessi errori,” disse Rosario. “Quando ho visto l'opportunità, L'ho lasciato cadere.

“La prima volta che abbiamo litigato non ero pronto,” ha aggiunto Rosario. “Ero debole. Ma ho imparato dal primo combattimento cosa fare nel secondo. È così che l'ho portato fuori.”

“È stata una lotta serrata che sarebbe potuta andare in entrambi i modi,” Ha detto Hernandez. “Mi ha colpito con un buon tiro. Mi sono alzato e mi sono sentito a posto. Stavo solo cercando di schivare alcuni colpi e mi ha colpito con un sinistro. Stava sparando e avrei dovuto ribattere indietro.

“Penso che l'arbitro abbia interrotto la lotta in anticipo, ma non è il mio lavoro,” ha continuato Hernandez. “Darei sicuramente il benvenuto a un terzo incontro con Rosario, anche se. Non ho mai avuto paura di combattere nessuno, quindi combatterlo una terza volta non sarebbe affatto un problema.”

Nei Premier Boxing Champions su preliminari FS2, Bryant Perrella (16-2, 13 KO) ha vinto una decisione unanime (78-74, 79-73 X 2) su Breidis Prescott (31-16, 22 KO).

“Sono molto contento della mia prestazione di stasera,” Detto Perrella. “Mi sono sentito benissimo andando lontano. La mia resistenza è stata fantastica. Sarei stato molto più aggressivo e avrei lanciato colpi più duri, ma mi sono fatto male alla mano nel secondo round e mi ha fatto male il resto della lotta. Ho appena usato il mio jab e ring generale per controllare il combattimento e ottenere la vittoria.”

La sega co-caratteristica di FS2 Money Powell IV (9-0, 5 KO) fermare Javier Frazier (8-9-1, 4 KO) per KO tecnico al terzo turno (2:03). Powell atterrò 86 pugni nell'incontro, 36 di cui erano al corpo di Frazier.

“In questo campo di allenamento abbiamo davvero lavorato su molti colpi del corpo,” disse Powell. “Mi sento come se i colpi del corpo siano trascurati al giorno d'oggi e che i colpi del corpo paghino i conti, abbatterti molto velocemente.”

Nell'incontro swing con FS2, Austin Dulay (13-1, 10 KO) ha segnato un atterramento al primo turno molto veloce di Yardley Cruz (24-13, 14 KO) prima di passare a un arresto del terzo round (:27).

“Ho appena ascoltato i miei allenatori e mi hanno detto di essere un cane e di farsi avanti,” disse Dulay. “Pensavo di averlo fermato con quel primo atterramento dopo la campana di apertura, ma non volevo precipitarmi in nulla perché ha un sacco di esperienza.

“Voglio subito una rivincita con Chris Colbert in aprile 13 carta qui all'Armeria,” ha aggiunto Dulay. “Sono tornato al campo dopo quella perdita, capito cosa c'era che non andava, ho un nutrizionista e sono passato a 135 libbre. Mi sento meglio che mai, quindi sono decisamente pronto per quella rivincita.”

Nell'incontro televisivo di apertura su FS2, Justin Pauldo (12-1, 6 KO) ha segnato un atterramento al primo turno e l'interruzione (1:17) contro Federico Malespina (16-11-2, 2 KO) che non è stato in grado di continuare.

“Ho atterrato una solida mano destra dritta,” disse Pauldo. “L'ho visto ricadere tra le corde e sapevo di averlo ferito. Così, Ho toccato il corpo e l'ho tirato fuori velocemente.”

“Questo è proprio come ogni altro combattimento in cui stiamo andando lavorare su un piano di gioco ed eseguire quel piano di gioco sul ring,” , ha detto Dirrell. “L'ho visto combattere Chris Eubank e mi ha mostrato alcune cose. È arrivato combattente in avanti. Questo è il tipo di ragazzo che mi piace combattere. È fatto su misura per me. Farò quello che so fare meglio e questa è la lotta. Ho tenuto la mente, corpo e anima insieme e rimanere concentrato per sapere cosa devo fare per diventare due volte campione WBC.”

“Sono molto grato a tutti coloro che mi hanno aiutato a ottenere questa opportunità e so che io avere tutti gli strumenti per battere Anthony Dirrell,” disse Yildirim. “Dirrell è un buon combattente, ma credo di portare in tavola più di lui. Sto arrivando per vincere e portare la cintura a casa in Turchia. Ho aspettato tutta la mia vita da pugile per questo palco e sono pronto a dargli una guerra.”

Giacomo (24-1, 11 KO) è diventato un favorito locale e combatterà davanti al suo folla della città natale a Minneapolis per la terza volta consecutiva. Il 30enne James ha ottenuto quattro vittorie consecutive da quando ha subito la prima sconfitta della sua carriera – una decisione unanime sconfitta a Yordenis UgsuS nel 2016.

“Sono affamato di fare 2019 l'anno in cui ottengo quel titolo mondiale,” disse James. “Sono concentrato sul mio avversario, ma in questa lotta continuerò a mostrare fuori dalle capacità e dalla velocità che mi rendono il prossimo campione. Sono estremamente grato di combattere di nuovo a casa e di continuare a portare PBC a Minneapolis. Sarò il prossimo campione da qui e il viaggio ricomincia da zero per 2019 quando entro in quel ring il 23 febbraio.”

“Sono entusiasta di questa opportunità di combattere Jamal James nel suo cortile e lasciare delusi tutti i fan della sua città natale,” disse Gonzalez. “Mi sto allenando più duramente che mai per riprendermi dalla mia perdita e mostra a tutti quello che ho imparato. Questa vittoria mi farà tornare sul percorso per diventare campione di parole.”

MINNEAPOLIS (Agosto 24, 2018) – Welterweight contender Jamal James (24-1, 11 KO)gave his hometown crowd a treat as he sent Mahonry Montes (35-8-1, 24 KO)to the canvas for a second round knockout in the main event of a jam-packed three-hour night of Premier Boxing Champions action Friday fromthe Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

 

 

 

I came out here to make a statement and I’m even happier to be able to do it right here at home,” disse 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 seconds of the second round, 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 del round.

 

 

 

I feel like I’m ready for the elite welterweights and tonight proved it again,” disse 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.

 

 

 

In caso di co-main, medi contendente Willie Monroe Jr. (23-3, 6 KO) showed off his boxing skill and picked apart Javier Francisco Maciel (33-7, 23 KO) 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 e 100-90 due volte.

 

 

 

The opening bout of the telecast featured fast-rising prospect and 2016 Lithuanian Olympian Eimanta Stanionis (7-0, 5 KO) as he earned a unanimous decision over Levan Ghvamichava (18-4-1, 13 KO)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 e 79-73 due volte.

 

 

 

Additional action saw Jeison Rosario (16-1-1, 11 KO) score a unanimous decision over Jamontay Clark (13-1, 7 KO) 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 e 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 KO) was awarded a victory by disqualification against Curtis Harper (13-6, 9 KO) when Harper exited the ring moments after the opening bell rang, opting not to face Ajagba.

 

 

 

Prelims on FS1 and FOX Deportes saw rising super welterweight prospect Sebastian Fundora (10-0, 6 KO) fermare Antonio Urista (10-3, 2 KO)a 2:22 of the fourth round, undefeated super welterweight Leon Lawson (8-0, 4 KO) vincere una decisione unanime su Brandon Adams (4-7-1, 2 KO) in their six-round fight and unbeaten prospect Gary Antonio Russell (12-0,10 KO) score a first round knockout of Nick Otieno (31-15, 13 KO) solo 1:18 nel turno.

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,” ha detto Tom Brown, Presidente di Promotions 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,” ha detto Leon Margules, Presidente Warriors Boxing. “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.

 

Giacomo (23-1, 10 KO) 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,” disse 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 KO) 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, Messico, 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, Monroe (22-3, 6 KO) 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 KO) 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.

 

 

 

Il 23-year-old Clark (13-0, 7 KO) 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.

 

Rosario (15-1-1, 11 KO) 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.

It feels so great to get this win in Minneapolis in front of all of my people here,” disse 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,” disse 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.

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.

 

 

 

Dopo 10 rounds all three judges favored the work of Cherry by scores of 97-93 e 96-94 due volte.
