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, Septembrie 26 Headlining Part One of CHARLO DOUBLEHEADER, a SHOWTIME PPV® Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NEW YORK – Septembrie 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, Septembrie 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,", A declarat 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 pro record with 10 knockout, following an extensive amateur career that included representing his native Ukraine at the 2008 Olympics as part of his 390-20 overall ledger. Un pro de la 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,", A declarat 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. Septembrie 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,", A declarat 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,", A declarat 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,", A declarat Derevyanchenko. “If I can knock him out, I’ll be ready to go for it. But if it goes 12 runde, 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, Septembrie 26 In Co-Main Event of Part Two of a SHOWTIME PPV® Doubleheader Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NEW YORK – Septembrie 17, 2020 – Fost campion neînvins 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, Septembrie 26 într-un eveniment prezentat de Premier Boxing Champions.

Pentru această luptă, 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., printre altele. 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® martie, 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, ca si mine, 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. Sunt 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.

At this moment, 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 și 122 clase de greutate. 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 & IMAGINI

The workout streamed live on the PBC YouTube page and can be viewed in its entiretyAICI. 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? Sunt gata. Watch next Saturday night, because I’m making this statement loud for everyone who doubted me.

RONNIE SHIELDS, Trainer Charlo lui

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.

At this moment, 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.

NEW YORK - septembrie 1, 2020 - Campion mondial WBC Super Welterweight Jermell Charlo și campion mondial WBA și IBF de 154 de kilograme Jeison Rosario au avut o previzualizare a confruntării lor de unificare blockbuster în timpul unei conferințe de presă virtuale de marți, în timp ce se apropiau de bătălia principală a evenimentului din partea a doua a primei capete duble SHOWTIME PPV sâmbătă, Septembrie 26 într-un eveniment prezentat de Premier Boxing Champions.

Cinci dintre cei șase luptători care vor concura în partea a doua a evenimentului fără precedent au participat la apelul de presă de astăzi. Fost campion neînvins Luis Nery va lupta neînvins Aaron Alameda pentru Campionatul Mondial WBC Super Bantamweight în co-caracteristică, în timp ce fost campion unificat Daniel Roman se confruntă cu fostul campion Juan Carlos Payano într-un meci de eliminare a titlului WBC Super Bantamweight pentru a deschide a doua tranșă a pay-per-view. Nery nu a putut participa la apel din cauza unor probleme tehnice.

Iată ce au avut de spus marți participanții la conferința de presă virtuală:

JERMELL Charlo:

„Sunt mai puternic și mai rapid decât am fost vreodată. Tabăra a fost uimitoare. Nu-mi vine să cred că m-am format atât de repede, dar chiar nu am ieșit niciodată din formă. Fac investiții în mine și îmi fac temele.

„Felicitări Rosario pentru că a avut șansa de a trece la acest nivel. Dar știu ce posed în ring atunci când aleg să-mi dau drumul. Sunt mai pregătit pentru această luptă decât orice luptă pe care am avut-o vreodată.

„Moștenirea mea este pe linie. Îmi hrănesc familia așa. Nu este vorba despre ceea ce vom spune. Nu este un secret despre cum lupt. Sunt periculos și mă simt și mai periculos acum. Sunt încântat să plec 12 runde. Capacitatea și abilitățile mele depășesc pe toți acești tipi din divizie. Acum sunt mult mai înfometat. Focul a fost aprins în mine.

„O mulțime de oameni au fost surprinși că Jeison a câștigat împotriva lui Julian Williams, dar de fapt nu am fost. Williams avea de-a face cu multe. Dar eu sunt un alt tip de luptător. Dedicarea mea este diferită de toată lumea.

„Eu și fratele meu am fost întotdeauna îndoieli. Pe măsură ce mă maturizez, Nu-mi pasă de ce spune cineva din exterior. Nu-mi pasă cine face clasamentul. Treaba mea este să boxez. A fost odată hobby-ul meu. Am făcut asta pentru totdeauna și am crescut în asta. Sunt un alt animal. La fel cum Rosario trebuia să urce la niveluri, Am făcut și asta. Mă mențin acolo unde sunt, datorită muncii mele grele și a modului în care lupt. Tot ce trebuie să faci este să mă pui acolo și voi merge să-l iau pentru tine.

„Cred că ultimele mele două lupte și stilurile diferite pe care le-a avut Tony Harrison m-au ajutat. Tony este un mare luptător. Te uiți la palmaresul lui și știi că poate să dea cu pumnul, dar eu sunt diferit. Asta m-a determinat să ieșesc pe primul loc și am încheiat prima luptă. Experiența pe care am avut-o în acele lupte îmi va oferi și mai mult avantaj în această luptă.

„Sunt atât de multe lucruri pe care le fac să mă cred că sunt cel mai bun din divizie. Pot continua și continua, dar sunt un leu în cușcă, dă-mi drumul să văd ce se întâmplă.

„Sunt puternic de la primul tur până la final. Dacă merge la 12, apoi merge atât de departe. Sunt deștept și știu să pregătesc capcane. Nu voi dezvălui planul de joc, dar nu mă joc în ring. ”

JEISON ROSARIO:

„Acesta va fi un mare război. Sunt dedicat și motivat pentru această luptă și știu ce înseamnă să te confrunți cu un luptător de calitate Jermell, deci antrenamentul a mers excelent. Sunt atât de gata.

„Sunt și mai înfometat acum decât eram înainte să câștig titlurile. Sunt mai motivat. Dorința din mine și focul din mine arde pentru a câștiga această luptă împotriva unui mare luptător din Jermell Charlo. Cum spun poporul dominican, „Trebuie să continuăm să mergem înainte” și asta intenționez să fac în această luptă.

„Jermell Charlo și Julian Williams sunt cu siguranță două tipuri diferite de luptători. Cred că Williams are ceva mai multă rapiditate, dar Jermell este cu siguranță mai puternic și are mai multă putere. De aceea a trebuit să mă pregătesc puțin diferit pentru această luptă. În ceea ce privește cine simt că este cel mai bun luptător - nu vreau să iau nimic de la niciun tip. Williams a fost un mare luptător și a fost considerat Nu. 1 când m-am luptat cu el, care este acum aceeași poziție în care se află Jermell Charlo. Amândoi au meritele lor, dar nu aș spune care este cel mai bun luptător. Jermell este considerat cel mai bun luptător de la 154 chiar acum.

„Un lucru care sa schimbat de la pierderea mea față de Nathaniel Gallimore în 2017 este maturitatea mea. Pe măsură ce luptele devin mai mari și mai importante, Cu siguranță am intensificat ocazia și provocarea. Mă antrenez mai greu și se concentrează mai mult asupra acestei lupte.

„Această luptă înseamnă foarte mult pentru mine. Este cu siguranță cea mai importantă luptă din cariera mea și sunt foarte recunoscător. Îi mulțumesc antrenorului meu și pentru această oportunitate care mi-a fost dată de a lupta cu cel mai bun luptător din divizie. Acesta este un moment minunat și unii oameni cred că nu voi câștiga. Știu că va fi electric.

„Consider că acesta este timpul meu. Imperiile cad. Președinții cad. Regatele cad. Totul este foarte interesant, deoarece sub marca Charlo, ai leul și ai vânătorul și toate astea. Dar în timpul luptei, veți afla cine este cu adevărat vânătorul. Sunt un războinic și vom vedea în acea noapte cine este cu adevărat vânătorul și cine este cel care va fi vânat ".

AARON ALAMEDA:

„Ne-am antrenat foarte greu și știm că avem un adversar dur în Luis Nery, dar suntem pregătiți pentru el.

„Cu toată sinceritatea, poate că numele pe care le vedeți pe hârtie cu care m-am confruntat nu sunt în clasa lui Nery, dar când mă vezi în septembrie 26, vei ști din ce sunt făcută.

„Este adevărat că Nery a mai avut probleme cu greutatea, dar asta este problema lui. Dacă face greutate sau dacă nu, Nu mă deranjează asta. Sunt concentrat pe ceea ce trebuie să fac în septembrie 26, așa că nu m-am concentrat cu adevărat asupra faptului dacă va face greutate. Eu sunt cel care va fi gata.

„Acesta este cu siguranță un progres pentru mine, nu negăm asta. Dar strategic, am lucrat la anumite lucruri despre care știm că vor ajuta să vină noaptea de luptă. Am văzut o mulțime de videoclipuri despre Luis Nery și am aflat cum trebuie să abordăm această luptă. Am văzut câteva lucruri pe care le putem face și asta vom face în septembrie 26.

„Au fost câțiva adversari pe care i-am luptat, care au fost dificili, dar unul în special a fost [Enrique] Gâște în Guadalajara. Lupta în orașul său natal și își avea oamenii în spate, dar noi am câștigat încă acea luptă. Persoana care m-a lovit cel mai tare? Numele lui a fost [Juan] Jimenez, și încă am depășit puterea pe care a arătat-o ​​în acea noapte pentru a câștiga.

„Am luptat cu câțiva southpaws în cariera mea și de fapt mă simt mai bine împotriva southpaws decât mă lupt împotriva luptătorilor ortodocși.

„Nu există nicio îndoială că Nery este un pumn puternic, dar trebuie să vedem cum va ieși - dacă va ieși la box sau dacă va căuta imediat knockout-ul. Avem o strategie pentru orice fel de ieșire. Vom fi gata pentru asta. ”

DANIEL ROMAN:

„Totul merge excelent la antrenament. Am făcut unele ajustări din cauza pandemiei, dar voi fi la maximum în septembrie 26. Suntem doi foști campioni, deci aceasta va fi o luptă de calitate. Vom încerca să ne transformăm în noaptea noastră.

„Scopul este de a reveni la titlul mondial, dar nu trec cu vederea Payano. Este un luptător de calitate. Trebuie să trecem de el și apoi sperăm că vom putea revanșa cu Murodjon Akhmadaliev.

„Payano a pierdut în fața unor nume mari și luptători de calitate. Orice se poate întâmpla într-o luptă, așa că mă pregătesc pentru orice. Sunt pregătit să lupt cu cel mai bun Payano posibil. Nu-l iau ușor. Este ca și cum aș apăra centura împotriva unui alt campion mondial.

„Sunt mai concentrat ca niciodată acum. Nu credeam că mi-am pierdut ultima luptă, Am crezut că am luat-o. Acum mintea mea este pusă pe Payano, așa că continuăm să lucrăm la fel de mult ca atunci când eram campion. Este un pas la rând. Mai întâi este Payano, apoi vom vedea după aceea.

„Pierderea titlurilor mele m-a motivat și mai mult. Știu care este următorul meu obiectiv. Nu trec cu vederea Payano, dar urmăresc să obțin revanșa respectivă ”.

JUAN CARLOS Payano:

„Cu siguranță îl respectăm pe Danny Roman. E un mare luptător, dar aceasta este oportunitatea unei vieți. Ne-am antrenat din greu și veți vedea cel mai bun din Payano pentru această luptă.

„Am comis erori în cele două lupte pe care le-am pierdut în fața lui Inoue și Nery, unde m-au dus, dar am venit pregătiți știind că luptăm cu un alt luptător bun în Danny Roman și ne-am pregătit cu adevărat pentru a nu se întâmpla. din nou. Învățați din erorile dvs. în aceste lupte, așa că de aceea când ies, veți vedea un alt Juan Carlos Payano în septembrie 26.

„Întotdeauna am luptat din greu în toate luptele mele, dar mai ales aceasta pentru că ne uităm la sfârșitul carierei mele. Știu că am nevoie de o prezentare grozavă pentru fani, deci există cu siguranță o urgență suplimentară pentru a arăta ce e mai bun din mine.

„Un boxer nu dezvăluie niciodată ce va aduce în ring, dar cu siguranță voi fi mai precis. Ceea ce nu am avut în cele două pierderi ale mele. Nu pot fi prea disperat. Am constatat că eram disperat în acele două lupte când aș fi putut fi mai precis și să fac o treabă mai bună în acele aspecte ale luptei.

„Am boxat de când aveam șase ani și mi-am dat viața boxului. A fost o cursă grozavă. Îl respect enorm pe Danny Roman și oamenii se pot aștepta ca doi războinici să intre în ring în septembrie 26 și dă totul. Fanii știu că asta le dau întotdeauna și că noaptea aceea nu va diferi. ”

DERRICK JAMES, Trainer Charlo lui:

„Tabăra de antrenament a fost bună. Jermell a devenit din ce în ce mai bun. Am fost mulțumit de ceea ce văd și încă este devreme în cantonament. Vom continua să construim până la luptă. Știm că avem un tip foarte dur cu care ne confruntăm, dar cred că toată lumea cu care ne-am confruntat este dură. Mergem acolo pentru a fi la maxim.

„Cred că victoria ar fi frumoasă, dar nu mă gândesc ce ar face pentru mine. Cele mai bune lucruri este ceea ce ar însemna pentru Jermell să aibă trei curele. Este vorba despre moștenire. Este vorba despre o luptă de moștenire pentru Jermell și pentru mine.

„Rosario este un luptător bun. A avut o progresie treptată de când l-am privit luptându-se cu Justin DeLoach și apoi trecând la lupta cu Williams. Se îmbunătățește. Știm la ce ne uităm. Știm ca campion, s-ar putea să vină ca un luptător diferit. Deci trebuie să fim și mai buni. Este o provocare grozavă, dar așteptăm cu nerăbdare.

„Am văzut luptele lui Rosario înainte de Williams, așa că știam că va fi dur. Am fost surprins cum a scăzut deoarece Williams este un luptător puternic. Dar Rosario a arătat cu adevărat și a avut loviturile potrivite pentru al scoate de acolo. Ne așteptăm la un mare luptător pe 26 septembrie. ”

LUIS "CHIRO" PEREZ, Trainerul lui Rosario:

„Tabăra de antrenament a fost grozavă. Totul a mers exact așa cum am vrut și apoi ceva. Chiar și prin aceste vremuri, am reușit să facem toată tabăra de antrenament așa cum am dorit-o. Nu au existat obstacole.

„Jeison este mai puternic și mai inteligent ca niciodată. Așteptăm cu nerăbdare să arătăm că aparținem acestei competiții. Știm că este un ordin mare împotriva celui mai bun luptător de 154 de kilograme din lume, dar vrem poziția lui. El este omul din această categorie de greutate și vrem să dovedim lumii că aparținem la acel nivel.

„Jeison nu făcuse niciodată o adevărată tabără de antrenament în viața sa până de curând. S-a antrenat în orice fel ar putea să-și dea seama și ar lua multe lupte de ultim moment. Asta s-a schimbat pentru lupta lui Williams și asta s-a schimbat pentru această luptă. Tot ce a depășit, a terminat cu dorință. Acum face tabăra de antrenament adecvată și mănâncă în modul potrivit. Cred că trebuie să-l elimini pe Rosario pentru a-l bate. Septembrie 26, vom vedea dacă am dreptate. ”

STEPHEN Espinoza, Președintele, Programare sport și evenimente, Showtime Networks Inc.:

"De sus pana jos, acesta este cardul de cea mai înaltă calitate cu care am fost asociat vreodată. In ultimii ani, au existat o mulțime de companii noi și o mulțime de activitate în box și chiar cu toți banii, ofertele, companiile, și tot ce se presupune că aduc la masă, nimeni nu a făcut acest gen de evenimente. Nimeni altcineva nu face cărți la acest nivel — atât de mare și cu atât de multă calitate. Acesta este un eveniment pentru adevăratul fan al luptei. Campion mondial după campion mondial, o colecție a unora dintre cei mai buni luptători din lume, pe o singură carte. şase lupte, cinci dintre ele luptă pentru titlul mondial, totul pe un singur pay-per-view.

„Aceasta este o carte plină de banger. Cea care nu este o luptă pentru titlul mondial, the one between Danny Roman and Juan Carlos Payano, is a matchup between a former unified champion and a former world championso there’s no shortage of accomplishments there. You have unbeaten former champion Luis Nery, who is coming off a streak of 11 consecutive knockouts, moving up into a new weight class to take on undefeated Aaron Alameda. Our second main event of the evening, Jermell Charlo and Jeison Rosario, like the first one, is a matchup between the top two boxers currently fighting in the division. We don’t need exaggeration or hyperbole. Pur și simplu pune, this is the best fight that can be made in the super welterweight division.”

PHILADELPHIA (Ianuarie 19, 2020) – Jeison Rosario captured the WBA and IBF Super Welterweight World titles with a shocking fifth round stoppage of hometown favorite Julian “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,” said 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,” a spus 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 aici.

I’m so emotional in this moment right now,” said 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,” said 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 în runda. La momentul opririi, Rosario led 39-37 on two cards, with the third card scored 38-38.

I wasn’t surprised he was so good,” a spus 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 aici.

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.

“El este un mare luptator,” spuse 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,” said 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. In 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,” spuse 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 runde. I’m in shape. Vezi, 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’ Carduri, de zeci de 117-110 de două ori și 116-111.

The strategy was to use my jab like I did and try to set up my punches,” spuse 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 aici și aici. Watch the 10lea trântă rundă aici și 11lea round action aici.

In the FOX PBC Fight Night opener, top super welterweight prospect Joey Spencer(10-0, 7 KO)a rămas neînvins cu o decizie unanimă încheiată Erik de primăvară (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. “Ca să fiu sincer, 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 de trei ori. PBC’s 2019 Perspectiva anului, 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 aici.

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.

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,” spuse Tom Brown, Președintele TGB Promoții. “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 Lupta anului. 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,” a spus 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. Most of all, 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, Mătănii (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. Cel mai recent, Rosario won a decision over veteran contender Jorge Cota in April.

I’m very thankful and excited for this opportunity,” said 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 runde, Sunt gata. 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 ianuarie 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,” said 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.

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.

On his recent training camp:
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:
“Vreau să rămână activi, 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.
