Once-beaten southpaw Yuandale Evans (20-1, 14 คอส) had Cleveland’s fight fans on their feet for the final two dramatic rounds as the East Cleveland boxer earned an exciting, all-action split decision victory over previously undefeated featherweight หลุยส์โรซ่า (23-1, 11 คอส) ในเหตุการณ์ 10 รอบ. Two judges scored the fight in favor of Evans – 96-94 และ 97-93 – while the third judge had Rosa winning, 96-94, ในวันศุกร์ที่ night at The Masonic at Templelive Cleveland.

It was a night that saw three previously undefeated fighters lose their unbeaten records. Rosa became the 171^{เซนต์} fighter to lose his undefeated record in the 16-year history of ShoBox.

In the telecast’s first fight, heralded Cleveland boxer and 2016 สหรัฐฯ. Olympian Charles Conwell made his television debut and improved to 6-0. But it was the Evans-Rosa fight that fans won’t soon forget.

“What a way to end a great year of boxing on SHOWTIME,"กล่าวว่า ShoBox นักวิเคราะห์สตีฟ Farhood. “Rosa vs. Evans was one of the best main events we have had in the 16 years of the ShoBox ชุด. These were two fighters that understood what was at stake. They both did what they came here to do. ในตอนท้าย, it was all up to the judges. I thought they got it right. It was a split decision. Great action fight between two very well-conditioned fighters.”

The Evans-Rosa war included 611 total connected punches and 512 landed power shots were exchanged. There were multiples shifts of momentum throughout the fight as Rosa commanded the early rounds with volume and power while Evans rallied in the middle rounds.

“I’m tired but I’m feeling great,” Evans said. “My performance was great. I’ve never felt myself pushed that hard. He’s a tough Puerto Rican. He’s a very tough fighter. The crowd really propelled me to victory tonight, and I’m grateful for that.”

Rosa led 268-267 in total connected punches entering the final round, but Evans summoned a huge rally in the 10th (49 ของ 103 ไปยัง 27 ของ 88 for Rosa) to seize a 316-295 overall lead to earn the split-decision victory.

“ ฉันคิดว่าฉันชนะการต่อสู้, he won maybe three or four rounds,” a disappointed Rosa said after the fight. “ ฉันชนะการต่อสู้ 6-4, 7-3 at least. I won mostly all of the beginning rounds and I gave him a few after the first six. Four rounds is the most I give him, and that’s being nice. I feel like the judges were swayed by the hometown crowd.”

Evans is ready for his next challenge. “I want Gary Russell, ฉันต้องการ [คาร์ล] Frampton, ฉันต้องการ [สิงโต] ซานตาครูซ,” said Evans, who had famed trained Barry Hunter in his corner. “I’m nothing but a contract killer. I’m a contract killer and I want one of those top five guys.”

ในกรณีที่ผู้ร่วมหลัก, undefeated Russian standout Radzhab Butaev (8-0, 6 คอส; WSB: 9-1) earned a hard-fought unanimous decision over Colombia’s previously unbeaten Janer Gonzalez (18-1-1, 15 คอส) in an eight-round welterweight matchup. The three judges scored the fight, 80-72, 79-73, 77-75, in favor of Butaev.

“I felt like I controlled the whole fight, but he was more durable than I expected,” said Butaev through a translator. “Gonzalez landed good shots but he couldn’t finish me.”

Farhood said Butaev failed to make some key adjustments during the fight. “[Butaev] didn’t have his trainer here,"เขากล่าว. “Perhaps that is why he failed to make adjustments. He still has a promising future, but this was not his best performance.”

Gonzalez was coached in his corner by noted trainer Ruben Guerrero. “I injured my shoulder in the third round but I stayed in the fight and pushed the fight,"กอนซาเลกล่าวว่า, “When I injured my shoulder, I couldn’t throw my left jab as well, I couldn’t work the jab. If I hadn’t been injured, I would’ve broken him down more in the later rounds.”

In the second fight of the four-fight telecast, a matchup of undefeated heavyweights, 28-ปี Junior Fa (13-0, 8 คอส) knocked out Pittsburgh’s Freddy Latham (9-1-2, 5 คอส), handing him the first defeat of his pro career just 67 seconds into the fight. It was the 169^th time a fighter has lost his undefeated record on the ShoBox ชุด.

New Zealand’s Fa sent the former Golden Gloves champion Latham back-pedaling from the opening bell with a barrage of punches as referee Clifford Pinkney jumped in between the fighters. Latham, who had never been stopped, struggled to keep standing as he leaned against the ropes. คลิก ที่นี่ to watch video of the stoppage.

“I was actually going to keep on going, continue fighting but then he dropped. He was out of it. The ref pulled me back,” said Fa, who earned a first-round knockout for the sixth time of his career.

Fa landed 59 ร้อยละของภาพอำนาจของเขา (17 ของ 29) while Latham managed to land just one of four power punches.

Farhood was impressed by Fa’s dominating performance. “Every time a heavyweight shows power, you have to pay attention,"เขากล่าว. “I’m sure we’ll see more of him in 2018.”

“I’m hoping for a chance to get in to the top 15,” said Fa, who beat WBO Heavyweight Champion โจเซฟปาร์คเกอร์ twice in the amateurs. “This fight gave me more confidence in my ability and power, and I think confidence is a great thing.”

ในตัวเปิด telecast, 2016 สหรัฐฯ. Olympian and local favorite Charles Conwell (6-0, 5 คอส) –buoyed by a huge third round where he scored two knockdowns and another in the fifth – went the six-round distance for the first time in his young career finishing off a game Roque “Rocky” Zapata (4-2-3) with an impressive unanimous decision victory scored 60-51 สองครั้งและ 60-53.

The super welterweight contest was dominated by Cleveland’s 20-year old Conwell, who used effective body shots to do the most of the damage as he accounted for 80 ของเขา 175 total connects and 75 ของเขา 150 เจาะพลังงาน.

Conwell caught the former MMA fighter Zapata in the third round with a strong right cross. It was the first time Zapata, who came into the fight with a three-bout winning streak, had ever hit the floor in his career. คลิก ที่นี่ to watch video of KOs in round 3.

“My game plan was to throw some jabs and go to the body, and I think I accomplished that. My jab was key tonight. I ended up dropping him three times,” said Conwell, who averaged 77 หมัดต่อรอบ, but gave himself just a B-minus. “I would love to keep fighting on television. I want to showcase my skills.”

A left hook by Conwell in the latter stages of the third round dropped Zapata for the second time. Zapata hit the canvas once again in the fifth after a devastating left hook to the body followed by a left hook to the chin. The Culpepper, จะ. native stood up at the nine-count and finished the stanza.

Zapata was impressed by his opponent’s talent. “I survived, so I’m happy,"เขากล่าว. “I went the distance with an Olympian and that was the plan. I should’ve done better and cut my angles more instead of standing right in front of him, but I’m proud I went the full distance.”

สุดท้ายคำพูด:

LUIS ROSA JR.:

“There was a time in my career when I was one fight away from fighting for a world title at 122 ปอนด์, but I’m a natural featherweight. This fight is at 126 but I’ll fight at 126 หรือ 122. Wherever the opportunity is, ฉันจะเอามัน.

“I’m going to show a lot of different things. I have more to show than just my boxing skills. Whatever I have to do to get the win, ผมจะทำมัน.

“My opponent is a southpaw, but he’s not the slickest southpaw I’ve seen. We’ve been training with a lot of southpaws. Fighting southpaws is not a big deal for me. I fought so many of them in the amateurs.

“I don’t think I’m going to have any problem with him. I know his left hook is his favorite punch so I’m going to try and take that away from him.

“I think putting together some timely combinations is going to be the key to this fight.

“After I beat [Jorge] Diaz and [หลุยส์] Del Valle in 2015 my opposition dropped. I was knocking on the door but just never got the call. That’s why this fight is so big for me. I’m ready to showcase my skills on national TV. I’m ready for the next step on my career.”

YUANDALE EVANS

“I know all the bigger names are at 126 so I’m going to stay right here. I’ve bounced around from 126 ไปยัง 130. ลู DiBella, my promoter told me to stay ready and that’s what I did; ฉันพร้อม. "

“It took me awhile from me to come back after the loss to Javier Fortuna [ใน 2012]. But I’ve always stayed sharp and I’ve been in various camps. I’ve trained with guys like มอนต์ปีเตอร์สัน, Gervonta เดวิส และ ราชีวาร์เรน.

“I’ve been doing this since I was 10 ปี, but I’m a lot wiser and smarter than in the past. I have knowledge and have been talking to a lot of managers and champions. I’m like an Einstein now. I’m a lot sharper, and craftier. And I have defense now.

“This fight will show the boxing world that I belong. I can be in the top five. This fight means a lot for me and the people of Cleveland.

“I’ve been working with [famed trainer] แบร์รี่ฮันเตอร์ for this fight and he’s taught me so much. My opponent has been spoiled and has never had to travel into enemy territory. Until now.

I’ve been a road warrior my entire career. I know the crowd can win the fight for me. Just the energy and hearing them when I’m tired. It’s a big advantage for me to be fighting at home. I will have a lot of fans here and it’s going to be big. I still got guys’ texting me for ringside seats, but there’s none left.

“I want ShoBox to say, ‘We have to have this guy back. We have to go back to Cleveland.’ ”

"[โรซ่า] is my height. He’s going to be right in front of me. He’s going to come straight at me. He has to.”

“They call me ‘Money Shot’ and ‘Southpaw Machine’ and the ‘Black Mexican’ in the gyms here in Cleveland.”

JANER GONZALEZ

“I’ve been training with รูเบนเกร์เรโร for the past couple of weeks, and I like training a lot better here in the United States. I felt like I was mistreated in the past back in Colombia.

“Fellow Colombian ออสการ์ Escandon introduced me to Ruben and here we are. It’s the United States and everyone wants to be over here. The sparring and the training is just so much better here.

"ฉัน 30 years old now and I have a family back home in Colombia to support. This is my shot. I will not fail them. I have Team Guerrero on my side so I’m ready.

“We all know skills pay the bills and I just have to do my job and not get too crazy in there and get the win.

"ฉันดูแล้ว มูฮัมหมัดอาลี และ ชูการ์เรย์เลนเนิร์ด when I was younger. I liked how smart and intelligent they fought.”

RADZHAB BUTAEV

“I’ve been in the United States for a year now and really liked training at Wild Card Gym and Wild Card West in Southern California.

“I can punch as hard as [Gennady] Golovkin and can move better than [Vasyl] Lomachenko. I’m very confident and my experience is the reason for that.

"ผมมีประ เดเมตริอุ Andrade และ Shawn พอร์เตอร์ and I have held my own.

“The welterweight division is the best in boxing, everyone knows that. And I’ll fight anybody.

“It doesn’t matter that there’s no YouTube video on Gonzalez. He’s tough and competitive and a boxer who will come to fight.”

JUNIOR FA

“When I beat โจเซฟปาร์คเกอร์ [in the amateurs twice] it was my movement and my footwork that was key. He’s such a big puncher I just kept moving because I didn’t want to stand right in front of that.

“I’m a multi-dimensional fighter and my strengths are my mobility.

"Deontay ป่า showed that he has plenty of power. He’s always there from the first bell… I like the guy, he’s got plenty of power and is very explosive.

“I like แอนโธนีโจชัว’s boxing brain. He’s got power, but it’s a different kind of power from Wilder. I like the way he sees his punches.

“For myself to be known, I’ll definitely have to fight in America. I don’t think I can make too much of a statement being back home in New Zealand.

“I think I can be three to four fights away for the chance at a world heavyweight title. I have to be entertaining in this fight for the American people to get to know me.

“Boxing used to be the biggest thing in New Zealand, but then rugby blew up.

“I live 40 minutes from โจเซฟปาร์คเกอร์ but we’ve never sparred. It’s too competitive.”

FREDDY LATHAM

“This is my first time on national TV so I’m excited and nervous.

“He’s taller, but I feel like I’m just as long as he is. I can put my head in his chest and go to war. If it’s going to be a dog fight I’ll get into his chest.

"ใช่, I’ve watched both the heavyweight world champs. I’d beat Joshua now. ป่า, I would have to get serious sparring in. I’d have to change everything I do in my life – the way I train and my lifestyle and everything. Deontay’s the man right now. Joshua burns out after six rounds and that’s why I’d beat Joshua now. I’m two years away from those guys. วันพรุ่งนี้ night is my first step.

“Boxing’s coming back in Pittsburgh and we’ve got two or three other heavyweights there that are popular right now.”

CHARLES CONWELL

“When you have a good crowd around you, you know it hypes you up.

“I was the youngest member of the 2016 Olympic team at age 18. It was cool being in high school and making the Olympic team.

“I’m very tenacious and determined, that’s why I’ve been successful so far in my young pro career.

“There’s no rush for me. People want to see me, sure. But there’s no reason to move fast at this point.

I think the competitiveness of boxing is what drives me. Sure the money and the fame are going to be great, but I just love everything about this sport.”

ROQUE “ROCKY” ZAPATA

“I haven’t surprised myself when I’ve beaten undefeated fighters.

“I’m an awkward fighter, in a good way. My angles I learned when I was fighting in MMA.

“The risk and the reward wasn’t worth it [to continue] ในวีค. I was making a couple hundred bucks and getting elbows to the face. It just wasn’t worth it.

“Conwell is good and aggressive and I’ve seen him on YouTube. He comes forward and he looks to put you down.

“I just feel so much more comfortable in a boxing ring. I was good at takedowns.

"เนอร์เกรเกอร์ ไป 10 รอบกับ ฟลอยด์ [Mayweather] and he got paid, so good for him. I’m one of the few guys who have been able to do both MMA and box professionally.”

I’m ready to do my job.”
