HOUSTON – May 18, 2021 - Unbeaten WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo and hard-hitting 160-pound contender Juan Macías Montiel met face-to-face for the first time Tuesday during a kick-off press conference as they preview the main event of a special Juneteenth Day celebration in Charlo’s hometown of Houston Saturday, Junho 19 at Toyota Center headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event live on SHOWTIME.

Charlo has established himself as a force in two divisions and will seek to thrill his hometown crowd against Mexico’s Montiel in a first-of-its-kind Juneteenth Day boxing celebration. Charlo will fight in Houston for the fourth time as a pro and look to keep his undefeated record intact against the upset-minded Montiel.

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING will begin at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and feature rising lightweight contender Isaac Cruz lutando contra o ex-campeão do mundo Francisco Vargas in the 10-round co-main event. Kicking off the telecast, ex-campeão mundial Angelo Leo returns to take on Mexican contender Aaron Alameda em um 10-redonda super galo luta.

Here is what Charlo, Montiel and their trainers had to say Tuesday:

Charlo JERMALL:

“Junho 19, ele vai ser fogos de artifício. A parade. A celebration. Me and Ronnie Shields get a chance to do it again. I’m working hard. I was working hard before I even knew who Montiel was. Desta vez, you get a chance to see all the hard work I’ve put in for so many years. It’s a dream come true to be able to fight in my city and I get a chance to do it with a crowd. Tune in and get your tickets because it’s going to be a great night of boxing.

“There’s no better day to fight than Juneteenth. It’s a celebration for me and my people and I get to represent them and carry them on my back. To be able to do it for my city right here at the Toyota Center – it’s going to be an amazing night of boxing.

“Montiel is fearless. He’s a fighter that I think deserves a chance. At this point, he understands where he’s at. Esta é uma grande luta. A lot of people may not know who Montiel is, just like I didn’t, but he’s a strong fighter. The people want to see me get tested, direito? I want to see those big fights, muito. In a matter of time, they’ll come. But Montiel should be a good fight.

“I’m going to whoop his ass. He doesn’t stand a chance. They’re all confident. I got the belt. The belt ain’t going nowhere. Toyota Center, get ready. It’s going to be fireworks June 19. He can be as confident as he wants, but when we get in there he’s going to have to figure it out.

“I’m ready to fight the best in the world. I’m the best in the world and I’m not going to let this guy over here stop me. The belt is not going nowhere. The belt is staying right here in ‘H Town.’ There’s nothing he could do about it. Nothing. It’s my belt. It’s my legacy. You’ll find out June 19.

“A fighter like Montiel is challenging to go in there and get the job done real clean and swiftly because if I look bad against a guy like this, they’ll take away from what I did in the Derevyanchenko fight. Mas, sim, to date, Derevyanchenko was one of my hardest fights, but I made nice work of it and onto the next one.

“I got the belt. Champions fight champions. We unify. Mas se não, we’re not just going to sit back. Those guys that have the belt like Triple G, Canelo and Andrade – the belts are out there so eventually it will happen. I’m not in a rush. Sou jovem. I’m still having fun. I’m enjoying what I do best.

“If Triple G wants this WBC belt, I have it. It’s over here, it’s open. I’m ready to fight.”

JUAN MACÍAS MONTIEL:

“We are focused on preparing as well as possible. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and we are taking it as such with a lot of dedication and discipline. We are ready to put on a great show on June 19.

“This is the fight I always dreamed of. I am all about challenging myself and fighting against the best of the best. I have been training hard and I believe in myself. I will be ready to come out and win.

“We’re fighting in Houston because I don’t think that I’m in a position to choose or dictate anything right now. I will fight anywhere in order to make my dream of becoming a champion come true. If we have to fight on the moon, then let’s fight on the moon.

“I believe that power is the great equalizer, a legit advantage in boxing, since it can change the fortunes of any fighter inside the ring. I consider my power an advantage in my favor.

“I have fought and prepared so hard for the opportunity to go and get this championship belt. I have done things the right way, there is no reason for things to go wrong. As I said previously, I am not in a position to choose where to fight. I just have to keep training hard like I have since I was four years old.

“I’m happy that there will be fans in the stands. I don’t feel any pressure, because it’s all about Latin pride and support and that motivates me.

“I think Charlo is a great fighter, super talented and the world champion for a reason. I have been preparing my whole life for this.

“I don’t think that all Mexicans just go on attack mode by default, you also have to be smart and think things through depending on how the fight goes.”

Ronnie Shields, CHARLO’S TRAINER:

“Jermall Charlo has worked his butt off in the gym and he continues to do that. To defend your title in your backyard, in your hometown, that’s a very special thing. Not only is it going to be special because of that, it’s going to be special because Juneteenth is a very special day for all African Americans in the state of Texas. We’re looking forward to a great fight. Montiel is a really great fighter and we know we can’t underestimate anybody. We’re going to be in the best condition we’ve ever been in every time we fight and we’re going to continue to do that. We’re looking forward to having everybody come out for this great celebration.

“I think a lot of people were surprised how easily Jermall beat Sergey Derevyanchenko. He was the No. 1 contendor. He was the mandatory defense. He gave Triple G problems. He gave Danny Jacobs problems. And Jermall beat him.”

EDUARDO MONTIEL, MONTIEL’S TRAINER:

“Training camp is an ongoing process. Things are going swimmingly, just like we wanted them to. We are very happy and so glad people have welcomed us here in Houston with open arms.

“I’m hoping for Montiel to be in his best physical, mental and emotional shape to come out with a win on June 19. Our biggest advantage right now is that we are already settled in here in the United States, free of the distractions and temptations we might have back home in Mexico.

“I think that a victory of this magnitude would make Montiel the face of Mexican boxing, rubbing elbows with the Canelos of the world. Life would change overnight for him.”

DOUG HALL, GENERAL MANAGER, TOYOTA CENTER:

“We welcome SHOWTIME and our friends from Premier Boxing Champions back to Toyota Center. We have a great history of hosting combat sports in this fine arena. We’re really excited about what Jermall Charlo and Juan Macías Montiel are going to bring to the Toyota Center on June 19. Os ingressos já estão à venda em toyotacenter.com and we are looking forward to a great night as we bring back live events to this market. We can do it successfully and safely and we want to see everybody come and see a great championship boxing match.”

HOUSTON (Maio 12, 2021) – Undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo will enter the ring for a Juneteenth Day celebration in his hometown when he takes on hard-hitting Juan Macías Montiel no sábado, Junho 19 at Toyota Center in Houston headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event live on SHOWTIME.

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING will begin at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and feature rising lightweight contender Isaac Cruz lutando contra o ex-campeão do mundo Francisco Vargas in the 10-round co-main event. Kicking off the telecast, ex-campeão mundial Angelo Leo returns to take on Mexican contender Aaron Alameda em um 10-redonda super galo luta.

Charlo has established himself as a force in two divisions and will seek to thrill his hometown crowd against Mexico’s Montiel, in a first-of-its-kind Juneteenth Day boxing celebration. Charlo will fight in Houston for the fourth time as a pro and look to keep his undefeated record intact against the upset-minded Montiel.

The event is promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions. Tickets for the live event go on sale tomorrow, Quinta-feira, Maio 13 em 12 p.m. CT and can be purchased attoyotacenter.com. Leo vs. Alameda is promoted in association with Mayweather Promotions.

Charlo (31-0, 22 KOs) will return to fight in his hometown for the first time since a June 2019 unanimous decision victory over Brandon Adams on SHOWTIME. The 30-year-old most recently scored an impressive victory over top middleweight contender Sergey Derevyanchenko in their September 2020 confronto. Charlo has held the WBC middleweight belt since 2019, after a championship reign at 154-pounds that lasted from 2015 Através dos 2017. He has compiled a perfect 6-0 record since moving up to middleweight and owns victories over former champions Julian Williams, Austin Trout and Cornelius Bundrage at super welterweight.

“It’s great to be back in the ring, headlining on SHOWTIME and defending my title in front of my hometown fans in Houston,” said Charlo. “Fighting on Juneteenth means a lot to me because there is a battle going on far greater than this. Dito, I have to handle my business on June 19. Montiel is a tough, jovem, power puncher. I know he wants my crown, but I’m hungrier than ever and ready to put on a show for my fans. Get ready for a special, explosive night.”

Representing his native Los Mochis, Sinaloa, México, Montiel (22-4-2, 22 KOs) has earned knockouts in all 22 of his pro victories, as the heavy-handed brawler established himself as a hard-hitting force. The 27-year-old has put together an unbeaten streak since moving up to middleweight, first competing at the weight in September 2017, and most recently scoring a first-round knockout victory over longtime contender James Kirkland in December 2020. He owns stoppages of Marco Reyes and Gustavo Castro, and a draw against Hugo Centeno, Jr. no peso médio. Montiel had previously campaigned at welterweight and super welterweight, dropping a February 2017 bout to former champion Jaime Munguia in a 147-pound fight.

“I know that I am fighting the best middleweight in the world, but he has never faced someone who can punch like I can,” said Montiel. “All my losses in the past are from not training properly and trying to win by one-punch knockout. I’ve grown up and become a man since then. I proved that I was different when I beat Marco Reyes in 2019, and I haven’t left the gym since then. I’ve worked hard every day to become world champion and I will display everything I’ve learned on June 19.”

The 22-year-old Cruz (21-1-1, 15 KOs) shot up the lightweight rankings in 2020, announcing his presence with an electrifying first-round knockout over veteran Diego Magdaleno in September. Cruz followed that up this March, when he won a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Matias Romero. Since making his U.S. debut on the undercard of Jermall Charlo vs. Dennis Hogan in December 2019, the Mexico City-native has been unbeaten in his four ring appearances. This will mark his fifth fight in 20 meses, the last four of which will have come on SHOWTIME, including headlining ShoBox: A próxima geração em fevereiro 2020.

“Me and Vargas are going to show the fans true Mexican-style boxing on June 19,” said Cruz. “He is also from Mexico City, so I know this fight will be toe-to-toe. It’s my time to show the fans that I’m the best Mexican lightweight in the world. In with the new, and out with the old. I want to thank my promoter, Senator Manny Pacquiao, for his support and belief that I will become world champion very soon.”

Also a native of Mexico City, Vargas (27-2-2, 19 KOs) won a 130-pound title in 2015 by defeating Takashi Miura in one of the year’s best fights. The 36-year-old would go on to fight Orlando Salido to an action-packed draw before losing his title to Miguel Berchelt in another memorable affair. Vargas went on to defeat Stephen Smith and Rod Salka before losing in his rematch with Berchelt in 2019. Mais recentemente, Vargas began campaigning at lightweight, scoring back-to-back victories with a technical decision over Ezequiel Aviles in October 2019 and a TKO over Otto Gamez in November 2020.

“I only know how to fight wars and the fans should expect nothing less on June 19,” said Vargas. “I am a warrior, and people are going to remember the reasons why I was in two Fight of the Year battles when they see me in the ring with Isaac Cruz. I want to thank my whole team for putting together this fight that I know the fans will enjoy.”

Leão (20-1, 9 KOs), who fights out of the Mayweather Promotions stable, became the first world champion from his hometown of Albuquerque, N.M., since legendary three-division champion Johnny Tapia, when he defeated Tramaine Williams by unanimous decision in August 2020. The 26-year-old dropped the belt when he lost a decision to unbeaten Stephen Fulton Jr. em janeiro no canal Showtime. Leão, who trains in Las Vegas, will look to re-establish his position in the stacked 122-pound division on June 19.

“I’m excited to get back in the ring for this fight,” said Leo. “I wasn’t the same fighter in my last fight, as I was when I won the title. That’s given me a big chip on my shoulder. I figured out my mistakes and learned a lot about myself. I’m here to show people that I’m still a top contender and a threat in this division. Alameda is a real contender and he’s not an opponent I’m taking lightly. Whoever comes out on top in this fight will be right there for another title shot and I plan on that being me.”

The 27-year-old Aaron Alameda (25-1, 13 KOs) was able to stop Luis Nery’s knockout streak but came up on the short end of the decision in their super bantamweight title fight last September. Prior to the Nery fight, the Sonora, Mexico native had back-to-back knockouts over Jordan Escobar and Breilor Teran. Profissional desde 2014, his previous action in the U.S. saw him earn a sixth-round knockout over Andre Wilson in 2016.

“I can’t wait for another big fight on June 19,” said Alameda. “I showed that I belong with the best in my last fight against Luis Nery, and I will be even better against Leo. My goal is to become world champion and I plan on displaying everything I’ve worked on in this fight. I’m excited to battle Leo and give the fans a great show.”

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

NOVA IORQUE – Setembro 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, Setembro 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,"Disse 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 nocautes, following an extensive amateur career that included representing his native Ukraine at the 2008 Olympics as part of his 390-20 overall ledger. Profissional desde 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,"Disse 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. Setembro 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,"Disse 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,"Disse 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,"Disse Derevyanchenko. “If I can knock him out, I’ll be ready to go for it. But if it goes 12 rounds, 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, Setembro 26 In Co-Main Event of Part Two of a SHOWTIME PPV® Doubleheader Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NOVA IORQUE – Setembro 17, 2020 – Ex-campeão invicto 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, Setembro 26 em um evento apresentado pela Premier Boxing Champions.

Para esta luta, 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., entre outros. 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® em março, 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, apenas como eu, 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. Eu sou 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 e 122 classes de peso. 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.

HOUSTON – Setembro 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, Setembro 26 em um evento apresentado pela Premier Boxing Champions.

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 entiretyAQUI. 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? Estou pronto. Watch next Saturday night, because I’m making this statement loud for everyone who doubted me.

Ronnie Shields, Instrutor de 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.

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.

NOVA YORK - Setembro 1, 2020 - WBC Super Welterweight Campeão Mundial Jermell Charlo e WBA e IBF campeão mundial de 154 libras Jeison Rosario pré-visualização de seu confronto de unificação de sucesso durante uma conferência de imprensa virtual inicial na terça-feira, enquanto se aproximavam da batalha do evento principal na parte dois do primeiro doubleheader SHOWTIME PPV no sábado, Setembro 26 em um evento apresentado pela Premier Boxing Champions.

Cinco dos seis lutadores que estarão competindo na parte dois do evento sem precedentes participaram da chamada de mídia de hoje. Ex-campeão invicto Luis Nery vai lutar invicto Aaron Alameda para a vaga WBC Super Bantamweight World Championship no co-longa, enquanto o ex-campeão unificado Daniel Roman enfrenta o ex-campeão Juan Carlos Payano em uma luta eliminador de título WBC Super Bantamweight para abrir a segunda parcela do pay-per-view. Nery não pôde participar da chamada devido a problemas técnicos.

Aqui está o que os participantes da coletiva de imprensa virtual disseram na terça-feira:

Jermell Charlo:

“Estou mais forte e mais rápido do que nunca. Acampamento tem sido incrível. Não acredito que entrei em forma tão rápido, mas eu realmente nunca fiquei fora de forma. Eu faço investimentos em mim mesmo e faço minha lição de casa.

“Parabéns a Rosário por ter a chance de passar para este nível. Mas eu sei o que possuo no ringue quando opto por deixá-lo sair de mim. Estou mais pronto para essa luta do que qualquer outra que já tive.

“Meu legado está em jogo. Eu alimento minha familia assim. Não é sobre o que vamos dizer. Não é nenhum segredo sobre como eu luto. Eu sou perigoso e me sinto ainda mais perigoso agora. Estou animado para ir 12 rounds. Minha capacidade e habilidades estão excedendo todos esses caras da divisão. Estou com fome agora. O fogo foi aceso em mim.

“Muitas pessoas ficaram surpresas com a vitória de Jeison contra Julian Williams, mas eu na verdade não era. Williams estava lidando com muito. Mas eu sou um tipo diferente de lutador. Minha dedicação é diferente de todos.

“Eu e meu irmão sempre tivemos dúvidas. Como eu amadureci, Eu não me importo com o que alguém de fora diz. Eu não me importo com quem está no ranking. Meu trabalho é boxear. Isso já foi meu hobby. Eu tenho feito isso desde sempre e cresci. Eu sou um animal diferente. Assim como Rosário teve que subir de nível, Eu fiz isso também. Estou mantendo onde estou por causa do meu trabalho duro e da maneira como luto. Tudo o que você precisa fazer é me colocar lá fora e eu vou buscar para você.

“Acredito que minhas duas últimas lutas e os estilos diferentes de Tony Harrison me ajudaram. Tony é um grande lutador. Você olha para o registro dele e sabe que ele pode socar, mas eu sou apenas diferente. Isso é o que me fez sair por cima e fez a primeira luta fechar. A experiência que tive nessas lutas vai me dar ainda mais vantagem entrando nessa luta.

“Há tantas coisas que faço que me fazem acreditar que sou o melhor na divisão. Posso continuar por muito tempo, mas eu sou um leão na gaiola, deixe-me sair e ver o que acontece.

“Estou forte do primeiro turno ao final. Se for para 12, então vai tão longe. Eu sou inteligente e sei como montar armadilhas. Eu não vou divulgar o plano de jogo, mas eu não estou brincando no ringue. "

JEISON ROSARIO:

“Esta vai ser uma grande guerra. Estou dedicado e motivado para essa luta e sei o que significa enfrentar um lutador da qualidade de Jermell, então o treinamento está indo muito bem. Estou tão pronto.

“Estou ainda mais faminto agora do que antes de ganhar os títulos. Estou mais motivado. O desejo dentro de mim e o fogo dentro de mim estão queimando para vencer essa luta contra um grande lutador em Jermell Charlo. Como o povo dominicano diz, ‘Temos que seguir em frente’ e é isso que pretendo fazer nesta luta.

“Jermell Charlo e Julian Williams são definitivamente dois tipos diferentes de lutadores. Acho que Williams tem um pouco mais de rapidez, mas Jermell é definitivamente mais forte e tem mais potência. É por isso que eu tive que me preparar um pouco diferente para esta luta. Em relação a quem eu sinto que é o melhor lutador - eu não quero tirar nada de nenhum dos dois. Williams foi um grande lutador e foi considerado Não.. 1 quando eu lutei com ele, que agora é a mesma posição em que Jermell Charlo está. Ambos têm seus méritos, mas eu não diria qual deles é o melhor lutador. Jermell é considerado o melhor lutador da 154 agora mesmo.

“Uma coisa que mudou desde minha derrota para Nathaniel Gallimore em 2017 é minha maturidade. Conforme as lutas ficam maiores e mais importantes, Eu definitivamente me preparei para a ocasião e para o desafio. Estou treinando mais forte e há mais foco nessa luta chegando.

“Essa luta significa muito para mim. É definitivamente a luta mais importante da minha carreira e estou muito grato. Agradeço ao meu treinador e pela oportunidade que me foi dada de lutar contra o melhor lutador da categoria. Este é um grande momento e algumas pessoas pensam que não vou ganhar. Eu sei que vai ser elétrico.

“Eu considero que esta é a minha vez. Impérios caem. Queda de presidentes. Reinos caem. É tudo muito interessante porque sob a marca de Charlo, você tem o leão e você tem o caçador e tudo mais. Mas durante a luta, você vai descobrir quem realmente é o caçador. Eu sou um guerreiro e vamos ver naquela noite quem realmente é o caçador e quem será caçado. "

AARON ALAMEDA:

“Temos treinado muito duro e sabemos que temos um adversário difícil em Luis Nery, mas estamos prontos para ele.

"Com toda honestidade, talvez os nomes que você vê no papel que enfrentei não sejam da aula de Nery, mas quando você me ver em setembro 26, você vai saber do que sou feito.

“É verdade que Nery teve problemas para ganhar peso antes, mas esse é o problema dele. Se ele ganha peso ou não, Eu não estou incomodado com isso. Estou focado no que preciso fazer em setembro 26, então eu realmente não me concentrei em saber se ele vai ganhar peso. Eu sou aquele que vai estar pronto.

“Este é definitivamente um avanço para mim, não estamos negando isso. Mas estrategicamente, trabalhamos em certas coisas que sabemos que vão ajudar na noite da luta. Vimos muitos vídeos sobre Luis Nery e aprendemos como precisamos abordar essa luta. Vimos algumas coisas que podemos fazer e é isso que faremos em setembro 26.

“Houve alguns oponentes que eu lutei que foram difíceis, mas um em particular foi [Enrique] Gansos em Guadalajara. Ele estava lutando em sua cidade natal e tinha seu povo por trás dele, mas ainda assim vencemos essa luta. A pessoa que me bateu mais forte? O nome dele era [Juan] Jimenez, e ainda superamos o poder que ele mostrou naquela noite para vencer.

“Eu lutei contra alguns canhotos em minha carreira e na verdade me sinto melhor contra canhotos do que contra lutadores ortodoxos.

“Não há dúvida de que Nery é um perfurador poderoso, mas temos que ver como ele vai se sair - se ele vai sair do boxe ou se vai procurar o nocaute imediatamente. Temos uma estratégia para a forma como ele sai. Estaremos prontos para isso. ”

DANIEL ROMAN:

“Tudo está indo muito bem nos treinos. Fizemos alguns ajustes devido à pandemia, mas estarei no meu melhor em setembro 26. Somos dois ex-campeões, então esta vai ser uma luta de qualidade. Vamos tentar fazer desta nossa noite.

“O objetivo é voltar ao título mundial, mas eu não estou esquecendo Payano. Ele é um lutador de qualidade. Temos que passar por ele e então, esperançosamente, podemos obter a revanche com Murodjon Akhmadaliev.

“Payano perdeu para grandes nomes e lutadores de qualidade. Tudo pode acontecer em uma luta, então estou me preparando para qualquer coisa. Estou preparado para lutar contra o melhor Payano possível. Eu não vou levá-lo de ânimo leve. É como se eu estivesse defendendo o cinturão contra outro campeão mundial.

“Estou mais focado do que nunca agora. Eu não acho que perdi minha última luta, Eu pensei que tinha pegado. Agora minha mente está fixada em Payano, então estamos apenas continuando a trabalhar arduamente como quando fui o campeão. É um passo de cada vez. Primeiro é Payano, então veremos depois disso.

“Perder meus títulos me motivou ainda mais. Eu sei qual é o meu próximo objetivo. Eu não estou esquecendo Payano, mas estou procurando aquela revanche a seguir. ”

JUAN CARLOS Payano:

“Nós definitivamente respeitamos Danny Roman. Ele é um grande lutador, mas esta é a oportunidade de uma vida. Treinamos muito e você vai ver o melhor de Payano para essa luta.

“Cometemos erros nessas duas lutas que perdemos para o Inoue e o Nery onde me derrubaram, mas chegamos preparados sabendo que estamos lutando contra outro bom lutador, o Danny Roman e nos preparamos muito bem para que isso não aconteça novamente. Você aprende com seus erros nessas lutas, então é por isso que quando eu saio, você verá um Juan Carlos Payano diferente em setembro 26.

“Eu sempre lutei muito em todas as minhas lutas, mas especialmente este porque estamos olhando para o fim da minha carreira. Eu sei que preciso de uma ótima exibição para os fãs, então definitivamente há uma urgência extra para mostrar o melhor de mim.

“Um boxeador nunca revela o que vai trazer para o ringue, mas com certeza vou ser mais preciso. Isso é algo que eu não tive em minhas duas derrotas. Eu não posso estar muito desesperado. Descobri que estava desesperado nessas duas lutas, quando poderia ter sido mais preciso e fazer um trabalho melhor nesses aspectos da luta.

“Eu boxeio desde os seis anos de idade e dei minha vida ao boxe. Tem sido uma ótima corrida. Eu respeito Danny Roman enormemente e as pessoas podem esperar dois guerreiros para entrar no ringue em setembro 26 e dar tudo de si. Os fãs sabem que isso é o que eu sempre dou a eles e naquela noite não será diferente. ”

Derrick James, Instrutor de Charlo:

“O acampamento de treinamento tem sido bom. Jermell está cada vez melhor. Estou satisfeito com o que estou vendo e ainda é o início do acampamento de treinamento. Vamos continuar a construir o caminho para a luta. Sabemos que temos um cara muito difícil que enfrentamos, mas acredito que todos que enfrentamos são difíceis. Vamos lá para dar o nosso melhor.

“Acho que a vitória seria linda, mas não estou pensando no que isso faria por mim. As melhores coisas é o que significaria para Jermell ter três cintos. Isso é sobre legado. É sobre uma luta de legado para Jermell e eu.

“Rosario é um bom lutador. Ele teve uma progressão gradual desde quando eu o vi lutar contra Justin DeLoach e depois passar para a luta contra Williams. Ele está melhorando. Nós sabemos o que estamos olhando. Nós sabemos como o campeão, ele pode vir como um lutador diferente. Então temos que ser melhores também. É um grande desafio, mas estamos ansiosos por isso.

“Eu vi as lutas de Rosario antes de Williams, então eu sabia que ele seria difícil. Fiquei surpreso como caiu porque Williams é um lutador forte. Mas Rosario realmente se mostrou e ele teve as fotos certas para tirá-lo de lá. Esperamos um grande lutador em 26 de setembro. ”

LUIS "CHIRO" PEREZ, Treinador de Rosário:

“O acampamento de treinamento tem sido ótimo. Tudo saiu exatamente do jeito que queríamos e então alguns. Mesmo nestes tempos, pudemos fazer nosso campo de treinamento completo da maneira que queríamos. Não houve obstáculos.

“Jeison está mais forte e inteligente do que nunca. Estamos ansiosos para mostrar que pertencemos a esta competição. Sabemos que é uma tarefa difícil contra o melhor lutador de 154 libras do mundo, mas queremos a posição dele. Ele é o homem nesta categoria de peso e queremos provar ao mundo que pertencemos a esse nível.

“Jeison nunca tinha feito um campo de treinamento real em sua vida até recentemente. Ele treinou de qualquer maneira que pudesse descobrir e ele enfrentaria muitas lutas de última hora. Isso mudou para a luta de Williams e isso mudou para esta luta. Tudo que ele superou, ele acabou com o desejo. Ele está fazendo o acampamento de treinamento adequado agora e comendo da maneira adequada. Eu acho que você tem que nocautear Rosario para vencê-lo. Setembro 26, vamos ver se estou certo. ”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Presidente, Programação de esportes e eventos, Showtime Networks Inc.:

“De cima para baixo, este é o cartão da mais alta qualidade com o qual já estive associado. Nos últimos anos, tem havido muitas empresas novas e muita atividade no boxe e até com todo o dinheiro, os negócios, as companhias, e tudo o que eles supostamente estão trazendo para a mesa, ninguém tem feito esse tipo de evento. Ninguém mais está fazendo cartas neste nível — tão grande e com tanta qualidade. Este é um evento para o verdadeiro fã de luta. Campeão mundial após campeão mundial, uma coleção de alguns dos melhores lutadores do mundo em um único cartão. seis lutas, cinco delas lutas pelo título mundial, tudo em um pay-per-view.

“Este é um cartão cheio de bangers. A única luta que não é uma luta pelo título mundial, aquele entre Danny Roman e Juan Carlos Payano, é um confronto entre um ex-campeão unificado e um ex-campeão mundial – então não faltam realizações lá. Você tem o ex-campeão invicto Luis Nery, quem está saindo de uma seqüência de 11 nocautes consecutivos, passando para uma nova classe de peso para enfrentar o invicto Aaron Alameda. Nosso segundo evento principal da noite, Jermell Charlo e Jeison Rosario, como o primeiro, é um confronto entre os dois melhores boxeadores que lutam atualmente na divisão. Não precisamos de exageros ou hipérboles. Basta colocar, essa é a melhor luta que pode ser feita na categoria super meio-médio. ”

BROOKLYN (Dezembro 8, 2019) – Undefeated WBC Middleweight World ChampionJermall Charlo (30-0, 22 KOs) successfully defended his title for the second time, stopping highly-ranked Irish contender Dennis Hogan (28-3-1, 7 KOs) with a showstopping one-punch knockout in the seventh round Saturday night live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, a casa de BROOKLYN BOXE ™, em um evento apresentado pela Premier Boxing Champions.

WATCH CHARLO’S FINISH

Houston’s Charlo, one of the most exciting young champions in the sport, delivered on his promise that he would close the show in spectacular fashion after going the distance in his previous two bouts. Em :28 of round number seven, Charlo set Hogan up by feinting on the jab before connecting on a ferocious left hook to Hogan’s nose that sent him falling against the ropes. The 34-year-old Hogan, who was moving up after most recently challenging for the title at 154 libras, rose to his feet before the ten count, but referee Charlie Fitch waived off the bout.

When Hogan was dropped in the seventh round, it was the third time in his career that he had been down and the second time during the fight. Na terceira rodada, a vicious left uppercut from Charlo just 12 seconds into the frame sent Hogan rolling backwards onto the canvas, but the Irishman rose quickly and acrobatically to his feet.

Despite throwing far fewer punches, Charlo had the more effective and efficient attack. Charlo landed 86 do 266 punches he threw (32%) while Hogan landed just 71 do 418 punches he threw (17%). Despite Hogan landing on 61 golpes de energia em comparação com 57 for Charlo, Hogan was unable to hurt Charlo, while Charlo’s trademark power resulted in another highlight reel stoppage.

I made it through 2019 and we’re going to 2020 com 20/20 vision,” said Charlo in the ring following the fight. “Shout out to Dennis Hogan for giving me real competition and for coming up to fight me.Of course my power prevailed tonight.

We’ve been working on that (the uppercut). I try to take him out with every punch and we work hard for it. He got up and he fought like a champion. Ronnie (Shields) told me to cut him off. I just threw the shot and I made sure I threw it right on the money.

The middleweight division is wide open. I’m the WBC Champion. I’m going to enjoy this and spend time with my team. I’m here to fight whoever. You have to make the right decisions and do it at the right time. That’s what it’s all about.

I wanted to keep going but the decision was fair enough by the referee,” said Hogan. “I didn’t see the punch coming on the second knockdown. I was trying to keep boxing him but then all of a sudden I was on the ground and the fight was over.

I’m looking forward to spending the Christmas holiday with my family, taking a month off, and then we’ll work on what’s next for me.


Na luta co-featured, Chris Eubank Jr.'S (29-2, 22 KOs) long-awaited United States debut ended in frustrating fashion as his opponent, Matt Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KOs), suffered a bout-ending injury at just :34 da segunda rodada. Because it was ruled a self-inflicted injury, the result was officially declared a TKO victory for Eubank, who picked up the Interim WBA Middleweight Title.

Korobov, a top contender in the middleweight division, injured his left shoulder after throwing a punch that failed to land. After consulting with the ringside doctor, it was deemed that he would be unable to continue.

I felt like I was about to get my swagger on,” Eubank told SHOWTIME reporter Jim Gray following the stoppage. “He just turned around and stopped. I was going to go jump on him. I guess something happened with his shoulder. There’s nothing to take from the fight. I threw like three or four punches. I was just warming up.

In the buildup to the fight, Eubank, the son of British boxing legend and former two-division world champion Chris Eubank Sr., repeatedly said that there would be a new contender in the stacked middleweight division. Despite not getting a chance to introduce himself to the American audience in the way he envisioned, Eubank is looking ahead to a busy 2020.

I’m the winner, I’m going to move forward and challenger for these belts,” said Eubank. “This wasn’t my dream. My dream was to come here to America and make a statement. Now that I’ve landed and I settled with the new promotional team, I feel I can get the ball rolling for an active 2020. It’s a shame it had to start like this, but it is what it is.

I was trying to throw the left hand straight, and I just felt the muscle immediately, like I pulled it,” disse Korobov. “It was a lot of pain right away. I couldn’t fight with just one arm, especially being a southpaw.

In a battle of former world champions to open the telecast, Japan’s Ryosuke Iwasa (27-3, 17 KOs) knocked out the PhilippinesMarlon Tapales (33-3, 16 KOs) with a devastating straight left-hand at 1:09 do 11th redondo. Com a vitória, Iwasa earned the vacant Interim IBF World Junior Featherweight Title.

Iwasa, who held a six-and-a-half-inch reach advantage, was more consistent throughout the entirety of the bout, stringing together multi-punch combinations. The decisive moment of the 12-round fight came in the penultimate round, when Tapales was caught with a counter left-hand that connected flush on his chin and put him sprawled on the canvas. Tapales beat the count, rising after eight seconds, but referee Shada Murdaugh waved the fight off.

No momento da interrupção, Iwasa led on all three scorecards (97-92, 95-94, 97-92). While Tapales was more accurate throughout the night, Iwasa was busier and landed 163 total punches compared to 148 for Tapales and held a 125-99 advantage in power punches landed. Na terceira rodada, Tapales was dropped to a knee after an accidental clash of heads. The clash, which was incorrectly ruled a knockdown, caused severe swelling under Tapalesright eye and swung a would-be 10-9 round in his favor to a 10-8 round in Iwasa’s favor.

I knew that I had him hurt in the 11th round and I was ready for the finish if the referee had let him keep fighting,” said the 29-year-old Iwasa. “It was a tough fight but I trained really hard for this performance. My height and reach was definitely an advantage. I was able to put my punches together well. He never hurt me but he was still difficult and I had to focus to figure him out.

We’re ready for anyone next. I’m going to keep working hard to become a world champion again next year.

On Saturday’s telecast it was announced that former two-division world champion Danny Garcia would return to the ring on Saturday, Janeiro 25 viver no canal Showtime do Barclays Center. During an interview with SHOWTIME Sports host Brian Custer, Garcia discussed his anticipated return to the ring.

“Janeiro 25, I’m back at Barclays Center, my home away from home,” Garcia said. “It’s a great atmosphere. Every time I’m here, I get the jitters, so I just can’t wait to be back. I’ve been in the gym for a month. I’m already ready. I don’t know who my opponent is, but whoever they put in front of me, I’m ready to get it on.

“Em primeiro lugar, graças a Deus (Errol) Spence is doing good. I hear that he’s recovering well. I was really looking forward to fighting him but maybe he could be next after January 25. Pac-Man (Manny Pacquiao) or Spence, that’s who we want. 2020 is going to be a big year for me.

BROOKLYN (Novembro 19, 2019) – Middleweight star Chris Eubank Jr. e contendor superior Matt Korobov shared their thoughts on their upcoming showdown for the Interim WBA Middleweight Title taking place Saturday, Dezembro 7 viver no canal Showtime do Barclays Center,a casa de BROOKLYN BOXE ™.



The middleweight division will take center stage on the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®televisionar (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) that is headlined by undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo defending his title against highly-ranked contender Dennis Hogan. Na luta de a cerimônia de abertura, former world champions Marlon Tapales e Ryosuke Iwasawill meet for an interim 122-pound title.



Os ingressos para o evento ao vivo, que é promovido pela Lions Somente Promotions e Promoções TGB, are on-sale now and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com
e barclayscenter.com. Tickets also can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Grupo descontos estão disponíveis pelo telefone 844-BKLYN-GP.



Eubank will make his U.S. pro debut on December 7, after establishing himself as a contender at 160 e 168 pounds while fighting in his native United Kingdom. He most recently registered a career-best win over former champion James DeGale in February on SHOWTIME in London but will now move back down to 160 pounds to seek a title at middleweight beginning with the fight against Korobov.



Korobov will return to fight at Barclays Center for the second time nearly one year after losing a close decision to Charlo as a late replacement opponent last December in Brooklyn. After fighting to a controversial draw against Immanuwel Aleem in May, Korobov will look to make a statement against Eubank to earn another shot at a world title.



Here is what Eubank and Korobov had to say about their matchup, a future fight with Jermall Charlo and more:



CHRIS EUBANK JR.



How does it feel to be making your U.S. pro debut on December 7? What are you looking to show the U.S. fans in this fight?



“It’s always been a dream of mine to fight in the U.S. Even with everything I’ve done in the sport over in the U.K, I’ve always felt there was something missing and I believe it was the urge to introduce myself and my fight style to the American audience of fight fans. Now I have my opportunity.”



Why did you make the decision to move down to middleweight for this fight? In what ways are you stronger at 160-pounds?



“I’ve never been a real super middleweight. I walk around at 170 pounds out of competition and have to eat breakfast the day of my weigh-ins to make 168. I believe at 160 I am going to be a beast now that I have become accustomed to fighting much bigger fighters over the last three years.”



What do you know about Korobov as a fighter and how do you see this fight going stylistically?



“I think Korobov will be awkward until I pin him down and when I do, I will show the audience why I am a fan friendly fighter.”



If you’re able to get past Korobov, what would you think of a fight against Jermall Charlo? What advantages do you think you have in that fight?



“When I dispatch of Korobov, Charlo is definitely the name that’s on my radar. He is seen as one of the elite fighters in the middleweight division and I intend to prove that he is not on my level. It will be satisfying stamping my mark on the division against Charlo after I beat Korobov. I think it will be a great fight for the fans as together our styles would make for a very exciting bout.”



MATT KOROBOV



Is it exciting to be back at Barclays Center as the co-main event to Charlo, because with a win, you have an opportunity to show him why you deserve the rematch?



“Yes, it is very exciting to be back at Barclays Center, only this time I will leave with the belt. I thought I deserved an immediate rematch against Charlo because many people believed I won. I think when I defeat Eubank Jr. and win this belt, it will force Charlo to give me a rematch. Veremos. I only focus on one fight at a time and right now I am only focused on Chris Eubank Jr.”

How do you stay mentally focused on the next fight when you believe you had two bad scorecards go against you?



“I do not focus on the past. I focus on the future because I can only control the future. I will be my best and my best will be good enough against Chris Eubank Jr. We’re doing everything possible in camp to make sure I’m ready.”

What do you make of Eubank as a fighter? How do you expect the fight to look stylistically?



“Eubank is a very good fighter, one of the best. I believe I am a more disciplined fighter. I think my technique is better, but he does some things very well. Let’s see on December 7. I don’t want to give away the weaknesses I see, but the style difference will make a very entertaining fight for the fans.

Do you think you have the advantage as far as boxing skills over Eubank? How do you counter his possible size advantage, given that he’s coming down from 168 libras?



“I think my skills are better. I do not think weight will be an issue. He is professional and I am professional. Se alguma coisa, perhaps it is a little more difficult for him to make 160 after years at 168. I will fight anyone between 160 e 168 libras, so I don’t see any problem with weight for me, perhaps more for him. We will find out December 7.”
