SERGIY DEREVYANCHENKO TRAINING CAMP NOTES

“Jermall has never faced anyone like me before. I’ll apply more pressure than he’s used to”

Top Rated Contender Derevyanchenko Faces WBC Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo this Saturday, Settembre 26 Headlining Part One of CHARLO DOUBLEHEADER, a SHOWTIME PPV® Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NEW YORK – Settembre 21, 2020 – Top contender Sergiy Derevyanchenko believes that his combination of skills and experience will make him the toughest challenge that WBC Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo has faced in his career, as they near their showdown this Saturday, Settembre 26 headlining part one of CHARLO DOUBLEHEADER, a SHOWTIME PPV event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

“I’ll definitely be his toughest test at middleweight,"Ha dichiarato Derevyanchenko. “Jermall has never faced anyone like me. I’ll apply more pressure than he’s used to. He’s also never faced anyone with my footwork. I’ll fight more on the inside than his previous opponents.”

Derevyanchenko sports a 13-2 record professionale con 10 ko, following an extensive amateur career that included representing his native Ukraine at the 2008 Olympics as part of his 390-20 overall ledger. Un professionista dal 2014, Derevyanchenko’s experience in the amateurs has aided him as he climbed up the middleweight division in the paid ranks.

“My amateur experience has helped me a lot,"Ha dichiarato Derevyanchenko. “I came to the pros with much more experience in the ring than most other fighters and it’s been a big part of what I’ve accomplished. I believe that all of that experience will help me get the win on Saturday and take Charlo’s belt.”

The 34-year-old now lives in Brooklyn and has avoided any negative training impact of the pandemic by working with his head trainer Andre Rozier at their private gym in New Jersey. Settembre 26 will be Derevyanchenko’s third world title fight, after losing a narrow decision to Gennadiy Golovkin last October and a split decision against Daniel Jacobs in 2018. Each of his previous title fights have presented different experiences that he can take into the Charlo fight, based off the similarities and differences between the opponents.

“Golovkin is a very different fighter than Charlo, but Jacobs is similar stylistically, so that’s something I’ll be used to,"Ha dichiarato Derevyanchenko. “This training camp has been very similar to camps for my previous fights though. We just brought in different sparring partners for this one. We’re using fighters who can show us what Charlo will bring to the ring.

“We’re making necessary adjustments based off all our experience and developing a game plan specifically for Charlo. The sparring partners have been giving me great work and I’m absolutely ready for September 26.”

In both of his title opportunities, Derevyanchenko has suffered a knockdown in the first round, only to battle back and nearly win the fight. Despite the similar script, Derevyanchenko is not focusing on those opening round mistakes as he prepares for Charlo.

“I’ll be very focused in the early rounds against Charlo, we’re not dwelling on the past,"Ha dichiarato Derevyanchenko. “We always have an eye looking forward. I’ll try to get the win faster against Charlo, so we’ll be applying more pressure early.

“Those first round knockdowns were just brief moments in those fights. I quickly moved on, put them behind me and fought my way back into it. I told myself that I may have lost the first round, but I just had to be better in the remaining rounds.”

With fight week here and the bulk of the hard training behind him, Derevyanchenko is prepared for the challenge Charlo presents, no matter how the fight goes or which strategy Charlo enters the ring with.

“I’m not solely focused on the fight going one certain way, we just have our game plan and we’ll see what happens in the ring,"Ha dichiarato Derevyanchenko. “If I can knock him out, I’ll be ready to go for it. But if it goes 12 round, I have all of the skills to win a decision.”

LUIS NERY TRAINING CAMP QUOTES

After I win this belt on September 26, I want Brandon Figueroa next!”

Unbeaten Former Champion Nery Takes on Undefeated Aaron Alameda for Vacant WBC Super Bantamweight Title Saturday, Settembre 26 In Co-Main Event of Part Two of a SHOWTIME PPV® Doubleheader Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NEW YORK – Settembre 17, 2020 – Ex campione imbattuto Luis Nery shared updates from his training camp as he prepares to take on undefeated Aaron Alamedafor the vacant WBC Super Bantamweight World Championship in the co-main event of part two of a SHOWTIME PPV doubleheader Saturday, Settembre 26 in un evento presentato da Premier Boxing Champions.

Per questa lotta, Nery is training for the first time under the guidance of Eddy Reynoso at his gym in San Diego, alongside Canelo Alvarez and former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr., tra gli altri. Although Nery enters this fight on an 11-fight knockout streak, he has been able to hone other facets of his arsenal under Reynoso.

Coach Reynoso has been helping me a lot with my defense,” said Nery. “We’re working on boxing with my hands up and on my accuracy. He’s helping me do everything possible to maximize my power and speed. I feel very strong and I’ve been sparring 12 rounds for a while now. I’m extremely ready for September 26 and focused on nothing but that.

Nery and Alameda were set to square off in a bantamweight battle on SHOWTIME® a marzo, before the pandemic delayed that showdown. With Rey Vargas vacating his 122-pound title due to an injury, the rescheduled fight came with the addition of that title being on the line. While he knows Alameda will bring his best, Nery is confident in continuing his winning streak.

I know that Alameda is a tough, undefeated fighter who’s going to leave it all in the ring,” said Nery. “I know he wants to win, proprio come me, and I know he’s working every day so that he can perform to his maximum potential. I believe that my speed and my overall talent will make me the winner. The postponement has given me even more time to train and prepare for this matchup. Sono 100% ready.

Nery has long established himself as a force in the bantamweight division, winning his title in 2017 by traveling to Japan and handing Shinsuke Yamanaka his first loss via fourth-round stoppage. While September 26 is his first championship fight at 122-pounds, he has his sights set on dominating the super bantamweight division and beyond.

“In questo momento, I want to fight at both 118 and 122-pounds,” said Nery. “There are a lot of great fights to be made in those weight classes. Sometime next year, I want to move up to 126-pounds so that I can dominate all three divisions.

The stacked September 26 PPV undercards feature a wealth of champions and top talent at both the 118 e 122 weight classes. If he’s victorious next Saturday night, Nery has his eyes on a fight against WBA Super Bantamweight Champion Brandon Figueroa, who defends his title against Damien Vazquez in the co-main event of part one of the doubleheader.

After I win this belt on September 26, I want Brandon Figueroa next,” said Nery. “I’m not overlooking Alameda at all, but if I had my choice, me and Figueroa would give the fans a great show my next time in the ring.

JERMALL CHARLO VIRTUAL MEDIA WORKOUT QUOTES & FOTO

HOUSTON – Settembre 14, 2020 – Unbeaten WBC Middleweight World ChampionJermall Charlo brought fans and media into his training camp Monday with a virtual media workout as he prepares to face top contender Sergiy Derevyanchenko to headline part one of a first-of-its-kind SHOWTIME PPV doubleheader Saturday, Settembre 26 in un evento presentato da Premier Boxing Champions.

Charlo was joined Monday by his longtime trainer Ronnie Shields as he showed off a variety of skills while training for the toughest opponent of his pro career. Charlo vs. Derevyanchenko will headline the first part of the special PPV doubleheader that begins at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT, before his twin brother and WBC Super Welterweight Champion Jermell Charlo steps in for the main event of part two against WBA and IBF 154-pound champion Jeison Rosario.

The workout streamed live on the PBC YouTube page and can be viewed in its entiretyQUI. Here is what Charlo and Shields had to say Monday:

Charlo JERMALL

I know that it’s my time to shine and my time to give everyone the best that I can give. I’m striving to be one of the best to ever lace up a pair of gloves.

The fans that love me can expect me to do what I do. The fans who don’t know about me, they’re going to see a smart, strong and athletic fighter. You’re going to see all of it in the ring on September 26.

I came from nothing, so I want to put everyone on. I want to make sure Ronnie Shields gets into the Hall of Fame. We’re looking to do something in boxing that no one has ever done.

When I look outside this gym, I say there’s no way I’m losing. I’m carrying my whole family on my back. Houston, we have another one. I’m doing it for everybody here.

I’m telling those other middleweights to buckle your seatbelts. It’s lift off. Everyone that doubted me, everyone who wants a chance, you’ll get your turn. I’m running the show. You just stay locked in.

My power is growing along with me. With some fights you need to add more power and sometimes your power just naturally increases. I’ve gotten a lot stronger and a lot smarter, so I’ve been able to use my skills to go along with my power heading into this fight.

Derevyanchenko is a come forward fighter. He’s going to bring a lot of power and speed with good technical skills. He calls himself ‘The Technicianbut we’ll see how technical he is once I start putting my jab in his face. I’m going to use all my natural skills in this fight.

After I win this fight the sky is the limit. I know people will respect me a lot more after this, but I’m focused on only this fight. This fight is another big stepping stone toward even bigger fights to come.

A lot of people don’t really know where the Charlos came from and they’re getting the chance to learn it throughout this time. It’s taken to this point for everyone to see that we belong on this big stage. I’m grateful for everyone around me who’s embraced me with love.

We don’t have too much longer to be doing this. Where are the rest of the belts at? Sono pronto. Watch next Saturday night, because I’m making this statement loud for everyone who doubted me.

Ronnie Shields, Trainer di Charlo

It means a lot to be in this position. It shows you that your fighter has made it to the top. He’s at the point where people want to see the champion of the world. It’s great to be there with him and help him to this level in the sport.

“In questo momento, Jermall is in great shape and he’s just about ready. We still have another week of hard training to go, then we’ll start coming down next week. He’s really sharp right now and we just have to keep him that way.

Houston loves winners and this guy is a winner. People know he’s a family man also and he works very hard for everything he’s gotten. He’s always shouting out Houston because this is where he’s from and it’s important to him.

I’ve had so many good fighters in my career, but Jermall is right up there at the top with Evander Holyfield, Vernon Forrest and Pernell Whitaker. He works hard and pays attention to what he has to do. The thing that separates them is that he knows how to watch his opponent and he knows what he’s in for.

Just like every opponent, we expect Sergiy to be at his best. We expect Sergiy to come in and try to win and be the best he can possibly be. Jermall is doing the same thing. No stone will be left unturned. We go over the game plan every day.

E QUI per le foto d'azione / Credito: Promozioni TGB

NEW YORK - settembre 1, 2020 - Campione del mondo super welter WBC Jermell Charlo e campione del mondo di 154 libbre WBA e IBF Jeison Rosario hanno mostrato in anteprima la loro resa dei conti di unificazione campione d'incassi durante una conferenza stampa di avvio virtuale martedì mentre si avvicinavano alla battaglia dell'evento principale nella seconda parte del primo doubleheader SHOWTIME PPV di sabato, Settembre 26 in un evento presentato da Premier Boxing Champions.

Cinque dei sei combattenti che gareggeranno nella seconda parte dell'evento senza precedenti hanno partecipato alla chiamata per i media di oggi. Ex campione imbattuto Luis Nery combatterà imbattuto Aaron Alameda per il vacante WBC Super Bantamweight World Championship nella co-feature, mentre l'ex campione unificato Daniel Roman affronta l'ex campione Juan Carlos Payano in un incontro eliminatore del titolo WBC Super Bantamweight per aprire la seconda rata del pay-per-view. Nery non ha potuto partecipare alla chiamata a causa di problemi tecnici.

Ecco cosa hanno detto martedì i partecipanti alla conferenza stampa virtuale:

Jermell Charlo:

"Sono più forte e più veloce di quanto non sia mai stato. Il campo è stato fantastico. Non posso credere di essermi messo in forma così in fretta, ma davvero non sono mai uscito di forma. Faccio investimenti su me stesso e faccio i compiti.

“Congratulazioni a Rosario per aver avuto la possibilità di passare a questo livello. Ma so cosa possiedo sul ring quando scelgo di lasciarlo uscire da me. Sono più pronto per questa lotta di qualsiasi altra battaglia che abbia mai avuto.

“La mia eredità è in gioco. Nutro la mia famiglia in questo modo. Non si tratta di quello che diremo. Non è un segreto su come combatto. Sono pericoloso e ora mi sento ancora più pericoloso. Sono entusiasta di andare 12 round. Le mie capacità e abilità stanno superando tutti questi ragazzi della divisione. Adesso ho molta più fame. Il fuoco è stato acceso in me.

“Molte persone sono rimaste sorprese che Jeison avesse vinto contro Julian Williams, ma in realtà non lo ero. Williams aveva a che fare con molte cose. Ma sono un tipo diverso di combattente. La mia dedizione è diversa da tutti.

“Io e mio fratello siamo sempre stati messi in dubbio. Mentre maturo, Non mi interessa quello che dice qualcuno all'esterno. Non mi interessa chi fa la classifica. Il mio lavoro è inscatolare. Una volta era il mio hobby. Lo faccio da sempre e ci sono cresciuto. Sono un animale diverso. Proprio come Rosario ha dovuto salire di livello, Anch'io l'ho fatto. Sto mantenendo dove sono a causa del mio duro lavoro e del modo in cui combatto. Tutto quello che devi fare è mettermi là fuori e io vado a prenderlo per te.

"Credo che i miei ultimi due incontri e i diversi stili che Tony Harrison aveva mi hanno aiutato. Tony è un grande combattente. Guardi il suo record e sai che può dare un pugno, ma io sono solo diverso. Questo è ciò che mi ha fatto uscire in cima e ha concluso il primo incontro. L'esperienza che ho avuto in quei combattimenti mi darà ancora più un vantaggio in arrivo in questa lotta.

"Ci sono così tante cose che faccio che mi fanno credere di essere il migliore della divisione. Posso andare avanti all'infinito, ma io sono un leone nella gabbia, fammi uscire e vedere cosa succede.

"Sono forte dal primo turno alla fine. Se va a 12, poi va così lontano. Sono intelligente e so come impostare trappole. Non ho intenzione di divulgare il piano di gioco, ma non sto giocando sul ring. "

JEISON ROSARIO:

“Questa sarà una grande guerra. Sono dedicato e motivato per questa lotta e so cosa significa affrontare un combattente della qualità di Jermell, quindi la formazione è andata alla grande. Sono così pronto.

“Sono ancora più affamato ora di quanto non fossi prima di vincere i titoli. Sono più motivato. Il desiderio dentro di me e il fuoco dentro di me sta bruciando per vincere questa lotta contro un grande combattente in Jermell Charlo. Come dice il popolo dominicano, "Dobbiamo andare avanti" ed è quello che ho intenzione di fare in questa lotta.

"Jermell Charlo e Julian Williams sono sicuramente due diversi tipi di combattenti. Penso che la Williams abbia un po 'più di velocità, ma Jermell è decisamente più forte e ha più potenza. Ecco perché ho dovuto prepararmi in modo leggermente diverso per questa lotta. Per quanto riguarda chi penso sia il combattente migliore, non voglio portare via nulla a nessuno dei due. Williams era un grande combattente ed era considerato no. 1 quando l'ho combattuto, che ora è la stessa posizione in cui si trova Jermell Charlo. Entrambi hanno i loro meriti, ma non direi quale sia il combattente migliore. Jermell è considerato il miglior combattente di 154 proprio adesso.

“Una cosa che è cambiata dalla mia perdita contro Nathaniel Gallimore in 2017 è la mia maturità. Man mano che i combattimenti diventano più grandi e più importanti, Sono stato decisamente all'altezza dell'occasione e della sfida. Mi sto allenando più duramente e c'è più attenzione su questa lotta in arrivo.

"Questa lotta significa molto per me. È sicuramente la battaglia più importante della mia carriera e sono molto grato. Sono grato al mio allenatore e per questa opportunità che mi è stata data per combattere il miglior combattente della divisione. Questo è un grande momento e alcune persone pensano che non vincerò. So che sarà elettrico.

“Considero questo il mio tempo. Gli imperi cadono. I presidenti cadono. I regni cadono. È tutto molto interessante perché sotto il marchio di Charlo, hai il leone e hai il cacciatore e tutto il resto. Ma durante il combattimento, scoprirai chi è veramente il cacciatore. Sono un guerriero e quella sera vedremo chi è veramente il cacciatore e chi sarà quello che verrà cacciato. "

AARON ALAMEDA:

"Ci siamo allenati molto duramente e sappiamo di avere un avversario difficile a Luis Nery, ma siamo pronti per lui.

"In tutta onestà, forse i nomi che vedi sulla carta che ho affrontato non sono nella classe di Nery, ma quando mi vedi a settembre 26, saprai di cosa sono fatto.

"È vero che Nery ha avuto problemi a fare peso prima, ma questo è il suo problema. Se fa peso o se non lo fa, Non sono infastidito da questo. Sono concentrato su quello che devo fare a settembre 26, quindi non mi sono davvero concentrato sul fatto che aumenterà di peso. Sono io quello che sarà pronto.

“Questo è sicuramente un passo avanti per me, non lo stiamo negando. Ma strategicamente, abbiamo lavorato su alcune cose che sappiamo ci aiuteranno a combattere la notte. Abbiamo visto molti video su Luis Nery e imparato come dobbiamo affrontare questa lotta. Abbiamo visto un paio di cose che possiamo fare ed è quello che faremo a settembre 26.

“C'erano alcuni avversari che ho combattuto che erano difficili, ma uno in particolare lo era [Enrique] Oche a Guadalajara. Stava combattendo nella sua città natale e aveva la sua gente alle spalle, ma abbiamo comunque vinto quella battaglia. La persona che mi ha colpito di più? Il suo nome era [Juan] Jimenez, e abbiamo ancora superato il potere che ha mostrato quella notte per vincere.

"Ho combattuto un paio di mancini nella mia carriera e in realtà mi sento meglio contro i mancini che contro i combattenti ortodossi.

"Non c'è dubbio che Nery sia un potente pugile, ma dobbiamo vedere come uscirà - se uscirà dalla boxe o se cercherà immediatamente il knockout. Abbiamo una strategia per qualunque modo venga fuori. Saremo pronti per questo. "

DANIEL ROMAN:

“Sta andando tutto alla grande in allenamento. Abbiamo apportato alcune modifiche a causa della pandemia, ma a settembre sarò al meglio 26. Siamo due ex campioni, quindi questa sarà una lotta di qualità. Cercheremo di farcela per la nostra serata.

“L'obiettivo è tornare al titolo mondiale, ma non sto trascurando Payano. È un combattente di qualità. Dobbiamo superarlo e poi speriamo di poter ottenere la rivincita con Murodjon Akhmadaliev.

“Payano ha perso contro grandi nomi e combattenti di qualità. Tutto può succedere in un combattimento, quindi mi sto preparando a tutto. Sono pronto a combattere il miglior Payano possibile. Non sto prendendo lui leggermente. È come se difendessi la cintura contro un altro campione del mondo.

"Sono più concentrato che mai ora. Non pensavo di aver perso il mio ultimo combattimento, Pensavo di averlo preso. Ora la mia mente è concentrata su Payano, quindi stiamo solo continuando a lavorare sodo come quando ero campione. È un passo alla volta. Prima è Payano, poi vedremo dopo.

“La perdita dei titoli mi ha motivato ancora di più. So qual è il mio prossimo obiettivo. Non sto trascurando Payano, ma sto cercando di ottenere quella rivincita il prossimo. "

JUAN CARLOS Payano:

“Rispettiamo decisamente Danny Roman. Lui è un grande combattente, ma questa è l'opportunità di una vita. Ci siamo allenati duramente e vedrai il meglio di Payano per questa lotta.

"Abbiamo commesso errori in quei due incontri che abbiamo perso contro Inoue e Nery dove mi hanno portato giù, ma siamo arrivati ​​preparati sapendo che stiamo combattendo un altro buon combattente in Danny Roman e ci siamo davvero preparati bene in modo che non accada ancora. Impari dai tuoi errori in queste lotte, ecco perché quando esco, vedrai un Juan Carlos Payano diverso a settembre 26.

"Ho sempre combattuto duramente in tutti i miei combattimenti, ma soprattutto questo perché stiamo guardando alla fine della mia carriera. So di aver bisogno di un grande spettacolo per i fan, quindi c'è sicuramente un'urgenza in più per mostrare il meglio di me.

"Un pugile non rivela mai cosa porterà sul ring, ma sarò sicuramente più preciso. È qualcosa che non ho avuto nelle mie due sconfitte. Non posso essere troppo disperato. Ho scoperto di essere disperato in quei due combattimenti quando avrei potuto essere più preciso e fare un lavoro migliore in quegli aspetti del combattimento.

"Faccio boxe da quando avevo sei anni e ho dato la mia vita alla boxe. È stata un'ottima corsa. Rispetto enormemente Danny Roman e la gente può aspettarsi che due guerrieri salgano sul ring a settembre 26 e dare il massimo. I fan sanno che questo è quello che ho sempre dato loro e quella notte non sarà diversa ".

DERRICK JAMES, Trainer di Charlo:

“Il campo di addestramento è stato buono. Jermell sta migliorando sempre di più. Sono rimasto soddisfatto di quello che vedo ed è ancora all'inizio del ritiro. Continueremo a costruire fino alla lotta. Sappiamo di avere un ragazzo molto duro che dobbiamo affrontare, ma credo che tutti quelli che abbiamo affrontato siano duri. Stiamo andando lì per essere al meglio.

“Penso che la vittoria sarebbe bellissima, ma non sto pensando a cosa farebbe per me. La cosa migliore è cosa significherebbe per Jermell avere tre cinture. Si tratta di eredità. Si tratta di una battaglia per l'eredità di Jermell e me.

“Rosario è un buon combattente. Ha avuto una progressione graduale da quando l'ho visto combattere Justin DeLoach e poi passare a combattere la Williams. Sta migliorando. Sappiamo cosa stiamo guardando. Sappiamo come il campione, potrebbe entrare come un combattente diverso. Quindi dobbiamo anche essere migliori. È una grande sfida, ma non vediamo l'ora.

"Ho visto i combattimenti di Rosario prima della Williams, quindi sapevo che sarebbe stato un duro. Sono rimasto sorpreso di come è andata giù perché Williams è un forte combattente. Ma Rosario si è fatto vedere davvero e aveva i colpi giusti per tirarlo fuori da lì. Ci aspettiamo un grande combattente il 26 settembre ".

LUIS "CHIRO" PEREZ, Rosario's Trainer:

“Il campo di addestramento è stato fantastico. Tutto è andato esattamente come volevamo e poi alcuni. Anche in questi tempi, siamo stati in grado di fare il nostro campo di addestramento completo come volevamo. Non ci sono stati ostacoli.

“Jeison è più forte e più intelligente che mai. Non vediamo l'ora di dimostrare che apparteniamo a questa competizione. Sappiamo che è un compito arduo contro il miglior combattente di 154 libbre al mondo, ma vogliamo la sua posizione. È l'uomo in questa classe di peso e vogliamo dimostrare al mondo che apparteniamo a quel livello.

“Jeison non aveva mai fatto un vero campo di addestramento nella sua vita fino a poco tempo fa. Si è allenato in qualsiasi modo potesse capire e avrebbe preso un sacco di combattimenti dell'ultimo minuto. Questo è cambiato per la lotta Williams e questo è cambiato per questa lotta. Tutto quello che ha superato, ha finito con il desiderio. Sta facendo il giusto campo di addestramento ora e mangia nel modo giusto. Penso che devi mettere fuori combattimento Rosario per batterlo. Settembre 26, vedremo se ho ragione. "

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Presidente, Programmazione di eventi e sport, Showtime Networks Inc.:

"Dall'alto al basso, questa è la carta di qualità più alta a cui sia mai stato associato. Negli ultimi anni, ci sono state molte nuove società e molta attività nel pugilato e anche con tutti i soldi, le offerte, Le compagnie, e tutto quello che dovrebbero portare in tavola, nessuno ha fatto questo tipo di evento. Nessun altro sta facendo carte a questo livello — così grande e con così tanta qualità. Questo è un evento per il vero fan della lotta. Campione del mondo dopo campione del mondo, una raccolta di alcuni dei migliori combattenti del mondo su una carta. sei incontri, cinque di loro combattimenti per il titolo mondiale, tutto su un pay-per-view.

“Questa è una carta piena di colpi. L'unica lotta che non è una lotta per il titolo mondiale, quello tra Danny Roman e Juan Carlos Payano, è un incontro tra un ex campione unito e un ex campione del mondo – quindi non mancano i risultati. Hai imbattuto l'ex campione Luis Nery, chi sta uscendo da una serie di 11 knockout consecutivi, passare a una nuova classe di peso per affrontare l'imbattuto Aaron Alameda. Il nostro secondo evento principale della serata, Jermell Charlo e Jeison Rosario, come il primo, è un incontro tra i primi due pugili che attualmente combattono nella divisione. Non abbiamo bisogno di esagerazioni o iperboli. In poche parole, questa è la migliore battaglia che si possa fare nella divisione super welter. "

PHILADELPHIA (Gennaio 19, 2020) – Jeison Rosario captured the WBA and IBF Super Welterweight World titles with a shocking fifth round stoppage of hometown favorite Giuliano “J-Rock” Williams Saturday night in the FOX PBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes from Temple University’s Liacouras Center in Philadelphia.

As soon as I stepped into the ring, I knew he could not hurt me,” disse Rosario. “I knew that my power was affecting him right away. This is a big victory for me and for the whole Dominican Republic.

Rosario was the better man tonight,” ha detto Williams. “It was a great homecoming for my fans and I’m sorry I let them down. What went wrong tonight needs to and will be fixed. We’re going to an immediate rematch and we look forward to returning the favor.

In his first world title fight, the Dominican Republic’s Rosario landed power punches from the outset and opened up a cut on with a punch over Williamsright eye in the second round. Williams was landing power punches of his own, but was unable to stop Rosario from coming forward.

Watch round two highlights where Rosario opens the cut over Williamseye di qua.

I’m so emotional in this moment right now,” disse Rosario. “When I lost my last fight I said I will never lose again until I become champion of the world and that’s what happened tonight. I came prepared. I knew before the fight that I was going to win it.

In round five Rosario landed the punches that would ultimately lead to the end of the fight, hitting him with hard straight right hands that immediately slowed Williams.


I have to give a lot of credit to my team,” disse Rosario. “I had a 16-week training camp and that prepared me for this. My life is changed forever and I can support my family in a whole new way. I realized that I was going to win, once I was offered the fight. I knew that if I made the sacrifice, that I would do what I did tonight. I knew it 16 weeks ago.

Rosario sensed his moment and came forward with big punches, while Williams tried to hold and survive. Eventually the onslaught proved to be too much, and referee Benjy Esteves halted the bout 1:37 nel turno. Al momento dell'arresto del gioco, Rosario led 39-37 on two cards, with the third card scored 38-38.

I wasn’t surprised he was so good,” ha detto Williams. “I told everybody he’s a real fighter. I have to accept it. The cut blurred my vision a little bit but it wasn’t the reason why I lost. He was the better fighter tonight. We’ve got a rematch clause. I’ll see him again soon. I’ll be back.

Watch Rosario finish Williams in Round 5 di qua.

The co-main event saw rising star Chris “Prime Time” Colbert (14-0, 5 KO) drop former champion Jezreel Corrales (23-4, 9 KO) on his way to a unanimous decision victory that earned him the Interim WBA Super Featherweight Title.

“Lui è un grande combattente,” said Colbert. “People don’t realize that, because he had a bad decision against Ladarius Miller. But he’s a great fighter. He’s very awkward. He’s slick and fast. It was hard to catch him because he was running, but he came to fight. I take my hat off to him.

The action began tactically, with Colbert trying to figure out the awkward style of the veteran former champion Corrales. Colbert switched from orthodox to southpaw and was able to control the early action despite a slow pace.

I did my job in there,” ha detto Corrales. “My strategy was to hit and not get hit. I felt like I made him struggle for a lot of the fight. The knockdown wasn’t from being hurt, it was my balance. Our feet got tangled and I lost my balance. I came in here to win. We both did our jobs, but the judges scored his pushing more than his punching.

Colbert continued to vary up his attack as the fight went on, while Corrales was able to have some success in the middle rounds landing straight lefts to counter his attacking opponent. Nel secondo round 10 Colbert began to pull away, landing a clean left hook followed by a right hook to the top of the head that put Corrales on a knee.

I had confidence coming into the fight,” said Colbert. “I knew I was going to dominate the fight and I told you all that before the fight happened. He was running and I was trying to catch him, so I told my corner, let’s have a dog fight. We got 12 round. I’m in shape. Vedi, I didn’t sit down one round. I’m in shape and I came to fight. I wasn’t going to leave without this title.

The 23-year-old from Brooklyn seemed to get stronger as the fight went on and finished the championship rounds impressively, staggering Corrales in the waning moments of the fight to punctuate the performance. Colbert was the victor on all three judges’ carte, con il punteggio di 117-110 due volte e 116-111.

The strategy was to use my jab like I did and try to set up my punches,” said Colbert. “But he’s very awkward and has good distance. Slowly but surely I decided to stop boxing, close the distance and get on him. I knew he couldn’t out throw me, I’m from Brooklyn.

Watch highlights of Colbert vs. Corrales di qua e di qua. Watch the 10th atterramento rotondo di qua e 11th round action di qua.

In the FOX PBC Fight Night opener, top super welterweight prospect Joey Spencer(10-0, 7 KO)remained unbeaten with a unanimous decision over Erik Primavera (13-4-2, 1 KO) after six rounds of action.

Fighting from the southpaw stance, Spring looked to land big overhand lefts but was rarely able to catch up to the speedy 19-year-old Spencer. Spencer dominated the action with his speed and by landing big hooks throughout the action.

I was in there with a cagey, long southpaw,” said Spencer. “Ad essere onesti, when a guy is fighting as cagey as he was, it’s really hard for a guy with my style to just pull something out of nothing. He was a real defensive guy.

Spencer was especially effective sneaking a powerful left hook around Spring’s guard. Spring tried to press the action in the later rounds and force a firefight but Spencer remained patient and picked his spots. Late in round six, a left hook from Spencer sent Spring flying into the ropes, before he was saved from the follow up onslaught by the bell.

At the end I really just pressed him, said I’m going to finish strong, and hit him with some good shots,” said Spencer. “If I had done that in the first or second round, I would have ended it early. I’m glad to get the six rounds in. Experience is everything. You’re only as good as your next fight. I’m happy to get in there and get some good experience and I did my thing and got the shutout.

I was waiting too much,” said Spring. “I thought he would come in and engage more and I was looking counter him but he stayed on the outside. I was more impressed by his speed then his power. He’s a talented fighter but I could have been more effective.

After six rounds, all three judges saw the fight for Spencer, by the score of 60-54 tre volte. PBC’s 2019 Prospect of the Year, Spencer will look for another big year in 2020.

I’m going to stay busy this year,” said Spencer. “I’m going to have a four-fight year. This is one of four. We’re looking to bring some excitement and have some fun.

Watch Joey Spencer seal his 10th career win with a powerful combo just before the final bell di qua.

Prior to the main card, FOX PBC Fight Night Prelims on FS1 and FOX Deportes saw Mexico’s Jorge Cota (30-4, 27 KO) earn a fifth-round stoppage over Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna (28-3-1, 10 KO) 1:22 into their super welterweight bout, when LaManna’s corner advised the ringside doctor to halt the action.

Watch highlights of Jorge Cota’s fifth round stoppage of Thomas LaManna di qua.

The action also included sensational 17-year-old prospect Vito Mielnicki Jr. (4-0, 3 KO) dominate Preston Wilson (6-4-1, 4 KO) on his way to a unanimous decision by the score of 40-36 three times in their welterweight matchup.The Prelims opener saw undefeated Romuel Cruz (4-0-1, 2 KO) score a first round stoppage of Julio Garcia(3-4, 2 KO) 2:56 into their super bantamweight contest.

Julian Williams earned one of 2019’s most thrilling victories in May against Jarrett Hurd, and there’s no better way for him to follow that up than by defending his WBA and IBF titles in front of his hometown fans in Philadelphia,” ha detto Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions. “The great fight fans in Philadelphia are in for fireworks because Jeison Rosario hits hard and he comes to pull off the spectacular upset, and he only needs one punch to do so. Combined with the addition of one of boxing’s best young stars in Chris Colbert in his toughest test to date against Jezreel Corrales, FOX PBC Fight Night will be must watch from start to finish on January 18 at Liacouras Center.

Philadelphia’s Williams (27-1-1, 16 KO) captured his world titles in a FOX main event in May when he upset Jarrett Hurd’s homecoming defense in a fight that is a frontrunner for 2019 Fight of the Year. Williams took full advantage of his second title opportunity with a spirited performance and an impressive game plan that negated the hard-charging and physically bigger Hurd.

The 29-year-old will now headline in his hometown, marking the first time he’s fought in Philadelphia since a 2011 victory over Eberto Mendoza. Williams earned his title opportunity by winning four-straight fights after a defeat to Jermall Charlo in 2016, including wins over former champion Ishe Smith and Nathaniel Gallimore.

This is going to be great having a homecoming fight back in Philadelphia,” ha detto Williams. “I’m excited for the crowd that’ll be at the Liacouras Center and to be back fighting on FOX. I haven’t fought in Philadelphia since 2011, so I can’t wait to get back in the ring in front of all my people. Rosario is a good fighter and I’m very familiar with him. I know he packs a solid punch and that he’s been on a tear ever since his lone loss to Nathaniel Gallimore. So he’ll be a stiff test for me, but I’m prepared to win. Soprattutto, I’m just excited to defend my titles and as a unified champion in front of my hometown crowd.

Born in the Dominican Republic and now fighting out of Miami, Rosario (19-1-1, 13 KO) will take an eight-fight unbeaten streak into his first world title fight on January 18. The 24-year-old has taken down a slew of contenders and rising prospects including Jamontay Clark, Justin DeLoach and Mark Anthony Hernandez, all of whom were either stopped or knocked down against Rosario. Più di recente, Rosario won a decision over veteran contender Jorge Cota in April.

I’m very thankful and excited for this opportunity,” disse Rosario. “I’m going to take advantage of it. I plan to bring these titles back to the Dominican Republic by knockout, but if I have to go 12 round, Sono pronto. I learned a lot from my first defeat, and it will never happen again. I also want to thank PBC, my promoter Sampson Boxing and my manager Caesar Mercedes for putting in this position. I can’t wait to make the most of it.

One of boxing’s top rising prospects, Colbert (13-0, 5 KO) showed off his emerging power with asensational one punch knockout of Miguel Beltran Jr. in the first round of his most recent fight in September on FS1. The 23-year-old from Brooklyn, New York had an impressive amateur career and has already taken down three unbeaten fighters in his short pro career. He will look to kick off a big 2020 a gennaio 18 after earning four wins in 2019.

This is the stage that I’ve been waiting for,” said Colbert. “My last fight was the co-main event on FS1 and now we’re moving up to FOX. It’s time to show out! I’m going to show the world what the hype behind me is all about and prove that I’m a soon-to-be champion of the world. All I know about Corrales is that he’s a former champion who’s going to bring his A-game, but I’m looking to get him out of there. I’m excited to be back in Philly and I’m definitely going to have my crew and fans coming down from New York to show support.

The 28-year-old Corrales (23-3, 9 KO) will look to rebound after a narrow split-decision defeat to Ladarius Miller in July. Fighting out of San Miguelito, Panama, Corrales won a super featherweight title in 2016 when he went to Japan and knocked out Takashi Uchiyama before winning a decision in their rematch. He also owns victories over current 130-pound champion Rene Alvarado and Robinson Castellanos.

Colbert is a good fighter but he’s not ready for what I can do in the ring,” ha detto Corrales. “I’m going to show that I’m still one of the best in the division. This is a great opportunity to prove that. I’ve been training hard to be the best Jezreel Corrales. Thank you to my whole team for helping me get this fight. You’re not going to want to miss my performance on January 18.

RIVERSIDE, CALIF. (Febbraio 15, 2019) – Once-beaten contender Mad Man” Marcos Hernandez will look to continue his winning streak fromThe Contender Season Five”, when he rematches Jeison Rosario live on FS1 and FOX Deportes Saturday, Febbraio 23 from the Armory in Minneapolis and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.


Coverage on FS1 and FOX Deportes begins live at 10 p.m. E / 7 p.m. PT and is headlined by former WBC super-middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell facing Avni Yildirim for the vacant WBC Super Middleweight Championship.

The 25-year-old from Fresno, California is looking to continue his journey to a world title as he has beaten four well-regarded prospects in only fifteen fights. Hernandez is currently training with Henry Ramirez in Riverside, California, and looking forward to his rematch with Rosario, who he fought to a draw last February in Texas.

I biglietti per l'evento, which is promoted by Warriors Boxing and TGB Promotions, sono già in vendita, and can be purchased at the Armory at http://ArmoryMN.com/e tramite Ticketmaster.

Here is what Hernandez had to say about his upcoming matchup and more:

On his rematch against Jeison Rosario:
I fought Jeison Rosario almost one year ago exactly. I have a lot of respect for him because we fought to a draw, but that being said, I felt I got the better of him. This not a six-round bout like our first match, this is a ten-round fight, and I know what needs to be done to further my career with my performance in this fight.

Nel suo recente campo di addestramento:
I really like training with Henry Ramirez in Riverside, California. Henry is a cool guy who’s trained a lot of top fighters and knows what it takes to get the job done. In Fresno there were many distractions, so moving away from my family, my wife and kids, it is a sacrifice that I make to go to the next level. This is a job and I treat it like a job. I am doing everything possible to be a contender.

On fighting on this PBC event on FS1 and FOX Deportes:
I’m very excited as this is my fourth time on FS1. I love what Premier Boxing Champions is doing for the sport of boxing, bringing fights to network television. FS1 has been good to me and I am excited that one of my biggest wins will be on FS1 so everyone can watch it.

On his goals for 2019:
“Voglio rimanere attivi, but my focus is solely on Rosario and getting that win. My hopes are to get in with a fighter with a big name. I’ve fought a lot of tough fighters, but not a lot of big-name fighters yet. I am hoping that by the end of this year I can fight one of those fighterspeople have seen on television for years.

Three-Hour Premier Boxing Champions Show Features Jamal James Delivering Second Round Knockout of Mahonry Montes in Front of Hometown Crowd Friday Night on FS1 & FOX Deportes from The Armory in Minneapolis

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.
