STEP, TX. (فوریه 17, 2018) – قهرمان سابق جهان ویکتور اورتیز (32-6-3, 25 کوس) و دوان الکساندر (27-4-1, 14 کوس) fought to majority draw in the exciting main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes روز شنبه night from Don Haskins Center on the UTEP campus in El Paso, وابسته به تکزاس.
Both fighters believed they had done enough over the 12 rounds to earn the decision.
“I absolutely thought I won the fight,” گفت: الکساندر. “The last few rounds I probably gave him, but I thought I out landed him in the 12th. فکر کردم برای پیروزی آنقدر کار کردم. I gave him three rounds.”
“I thought the decision was a little off and I thought I did enough to win,” سعید اورتیز. “The first few rounds were a little complicated. He’s a great boxer and he was timing me just right. I wasn’t leaving the line of fire.”
The fight turned out to be a back-and-forth affair, with Alexander dominating much of the early action. Alexander frequently caught Ortiz charging in with right hands and combinations. The attacks opened up swelling in Victor’s left eye beginning in round three.
“The eye was tough to overcome,” سعید اورتیز. “I can’t really see out of it. I really had to listen to my corner. I tried to stay composed as I could, but he’s a really good fighter.”
“My game plan was to be smart,” گفت: الکساندر. “Victor always has problems with people that are faster and have more ring IQ. I wanted to put him in the state of mind that he can’t win.”
Alexander won five of the first six rounds on two judges’ scorecards and all six on the other’s. Ortiz began to have more success in the second half as Alexander’s output slowed slightly and Ortiz remained persistent charging forward. This effort allowed him to win five of the final six rounds on two judges’ cards and all six of the final frames on the third judge’s card.
بعد از 12 دور, داوران مسابقه را به ثمر رساندند 115-113 for Ortiz and 114-114 دو برابر, resulting in the majority draw. پس از جلسه, both former champions expressed interest in a possible rematch.
“I would love a rematch,” گفت: الکساندر. “That’s up to my team to see what’s next, but I’ll fight anybody. I’m a real fighter.”
“A rematch would be awesome,” سعید اورتیز. “If both teams agree and the fans want it, let’s make it happen.”
The co-main event of the telecast saw unbeaten کالیب “دست شیرین” گیاه (17-0, 10 کوس) score a unanimous decision victory over former title challenger روژلیو “گوشت خوک” مدینه (38-9, 32 کوس) in their IBF Super Middleweight world title eliminator.
“It was a tough fight tonight against a tough competitor who puts everything on the line,” سعید گیاهی. “I’m happy we got the job done tonight.”
Plant established his style early, landing several flush jabs in round one to control the distance. The Nashville-born fighter showed the superior footwork from the outset that would lead him to the victory.
“I stuck to the game plan and I did exactly what I said I was going to do,” سعید گیاهی. “I boxed his ears off for 12 rounds.”
“He never had me hurt, but I found his style very difficult,” said Medina. “He moves a lot and he’s pretty quick, so that was tough to deal with.”
While Plant has now become the number two rated contender in the IBF 168-pound rankings, Medina was not eligible to achieve that ranking due to missing weight جمعه.
“I think I felt the struggle to make weight a little bit,” said Medina. “I was a little tired in the later rounds and it probably was due to the drain to make weight. But it is what it is.”
Plant was able to mix in lead left hooks and straight right hands to continue to damage Medina throughout the action. The consistent jabs caused blood to begin pouring out of the nose of Medina beginning in round three.
While Medina continued to fight hard and occasionally land single clean punches on Plant, he was unable to follow-up with much effective offense and never was able to hurt his opponent.
بعد از 12 دوره از عمل, the judges scored the fight 120-108, 119-109 و 117-11, all in favor of Plant.
“من می خواهم (IBF 168-pound champion) کالیب Truax,” سعید گیاهی. “He was calling me out when I was 12-0. I’m on the doorstep knocking now, let’s see if he still wants it. He can either ship me the IBF belt to my doorstep, or I’ll come take it off his waist.”
Additional televised action saw 2016 آمریکایی. آسمانی Karlos بالدراس (4-0, 3 کوس) remain undefeated as he cruised to a unanimous decision over Jorge Rojas (4-3-1, 2 کوس) in their lightweight bout.
The four-round bout was not only the first time Balderas had gone the distance as a pro, but the first time an opponent made it through more than one round against him. Balderas staggered Rojas early in round one with a counter left hook, but Rojas was able to survive the round and the subsequent stanzas.
“I felt good in there,” سعید بالدراس. “I need to learn to relax a little bit more in the ring. I hurt him in the first round and I could have finished him quickly. My corner reminded me to slow down, but I was still throwing everything with power. I’m going to keep working on my composure in the gym. I can’t kill everyone in the first round.”
After four rounds of action all three judges scored the fight in favor of the Santa Maria, California-native Balderas by the score of 40-36.
“I’m going to keep picking up my opposition this year,” سعید بالدراس. “Rojas had a really good chin. I’m going to stay in great shape so I’m ready whenever the call comes. I’m going to keep working and aiming for that world title shot down the road.”
