Jermall Charlo to Battle Matt Korobov for WBC Interim Middleweight Championship Live in Primetime on FOX & FOX Sports

Lascia un commento

Presented by Premier Boxing Champions on Saturday, Dicembre 22 da Barclays Center a Brooklyn

BROOKLYN (Dicembre 17, 2018) – Medi contendente Matt Korobov has stepped up to challenge Jermall Charlo for the WBC Interim Middleweight Championship live in primetime on FOX and FOX Deportes on Saturday, Dicembre 22 da Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™ in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Korobov is replacing Willie Monroe, Jr., who was removed from the main event after he tested positive for a banned substance by VADA under the WBC Clean Boxing Program. The WBC is conducting further investigation into the matter.

Korobov was due to fight on the undercard and had been training to fight December 22. He willingly stepped forward when the call came for a replacement for Monroe.

“I was well prepared for Willie Monroe, che è un mancino, so there won’t be that much difference facing Korobov,” Detto Charlo. “There is a size difference. He’s taller than Monroe, but I’ll just have to adjust my game plan. The best fighters in the world are the ones who are able to make the best adjustments. Beating Korobov is going to make the victory that much sweeter due to this adversity. That means the celebration is going to be sweeter as well. He was fighting on the undercard, so he’s prepared. But now fighting for the title in the top spot is going to make him fight harder. Mi piace. He’s a much better opponent on paper than Willie Monroe Jr.”

“I was training to fight on this card so I am physically and mentally ready to fight,” said Korobov. “It doesn’t matter that I am taking this fight on a week’s notice because I have been preparing for this moment my entire life. I will make a few adjustments for Charlo and make the most of this opportunity. Non perderlo. Make sure you tune-in to FOX for a great fight.”

The Charlo vs. Korobov bout is part of a blockbuster PBC on FOX show that features the Charlo Twins defending their world titles and a heavyweight showdown between Dominic Breazeale and Carlos Negron beginning at 8 p.m. ET / 5 pm. PT.

Jermall Charlo, who won a coin toss with his brother, will close the show in a 12-round WBC middleweight championship bout against Korobov, while Jermell Charlo will battle Tony Harrison in defense of the WBC Super Welterweight World Title.

Korobov (28-1, 14 KO), who was originally scheduled to face Colombia’s Juan De Angel, has an outstanding resume that includes a unanimous decision victory over current super middleweight world champion Jose Uzcategui in 2014. His lone loss came against Andy Lee in a middleweight championship fight in 2014. Korobov was ahead on all three judges’ scorecards when he was caught by a right hand from Lee that resulted in a sixth round TKO loss.

The 35-year-old southpaw is from Orotukan, Russia and now lives in St. Petersburg, Florida. As an amateur he won the European Championships in 2006 by defeating reigning undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. Era un membro della 2008 Russian Olympic boxing team and finished his amateur career with a record of 300-12. He enters this fight with four straight victories, having most recently scored a unanimous decision over Jonathan Batista.

WILLIE MONROE JR. TRAINING CAMP QUOTES
Middleweight Contender Willie Monroe Jr. Talks Upcoming Showdown Against Jermall Charlo Saturday, Dicembre 22 in Premier Boxing
Champions on FOX & FOX Deportes Action from Barclays Center in
Brooklyn “I’m in my stable now and I’m ready to come flying out of the
gate on December 22,” – Monroe

ROCHESTER,NY. (Dicembre 4, 2018) – Middleweight contender and former title challenger Willie Monroe Jr. discussed his upcoming contest against WBC Interim Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo as he prepares to enter the ring in Premier Boxing Champions action Saturday, Dicembre 22 live on FOX and FOX Deportes from Barclays Center, la casa di Brooklyn boxe ™.

With fight night approaching, Monroe is hard at work in his hometown of Rochester,New York. Along with his coach Timothy Nolan, Monroe believes he is on track to deliver a great performance against an unbeaten opponent.

“Everything in camp right now is on point and moving forward,” said Monroe.”We’re getting the work we need each day. We know how to run a camp smoothly. If I can’t tell anything is wrong, then it’s going great.”

A veteran of two middleweight world title contests against Gennady Golovkin and Billy Joe Saunders, Monroe has had his eye on a Charlo matchup to once again prove himself against an elite middleweight.

“I’ve always watched Jermall’s fights because I have an eye on anyone around my weight class,” said Monroe. “Over the last year or so I’ve started to think I’m really going to get this fight and I’m excited about it coming to fruition on December 22.

“He’s considered one of the top middleweights and it makes this a great match. This time I’m going to have a full training camp like I didn’t get to have for Golovkin and Saunders and it’s going to help me.”

While he doesn’t possess the prodigious knockout power of his opponent, Monroe is more than confident that his other ring attributes will make up for that difference.

“We’re both at the top of the division and you don’t get this far without having a lot of physical ability,” said Monroe. “This fight isn’t about who’s the fastest and strongest though, it’s about how we’re going to execute. I’m not focused on who hits harder but who hits smarter. That’s always going to determine who wins a boxing match.

“Boxing is about intelligence first and everything follows after that. Will I be able to execute and make Jermall uncomfortable? We’ll see what happens on fight night. I’m going to be ready though. I’m in my stable now and I’m ready to come flying out of the gate on December 22.”

Charlo was serving as color commentator for Monroe’s August fight on FS1 and since then the two have gone face-to-face at two separate press events leading up to fight night. With fight week looming, Monroe believes the frequent face time will make an even more exciting fight.

“I’m definitely more eager to fight from seeing Jermall over and over again,” said Monroe. “The little things that you pick up in person tend to make you want to fight even more. You see the opponent and you build it up more in your head and use it for motivation. I think it’s going to make it even more entertaining when we finally get in there.”

Tickets for the show, which is being promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with DiBella Entertainment, iniziare a $50 and are on sale now. I biglietti possono essere acquistati pressoticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com, o chiamando 800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Sconti di gruppo sono disponibili chiamando il 844-BKLYN-GP.

Televised coverage begins at 8 p.m. ET / 5 pm. PT and features Jermell Charlo defending his WBC super welterweight world title against Tony Harrison, in addition to the Charlo vs. Monroe showdown. Televised action also features a heavyweight showdown between Dominic Breazeale and Carlos Negron.

U.S. Olympian Terrell Gausha Battles Joey Hernandez & Two-Division Champion Rances Barthelemy & Heavyweight Sensation Efe Ajagba Enter Ring as Part of Stacked Undercard Presented by Premier Boxing Champions Saturday, Dicembre 22 from Barclays Center in Brooklyn

Di Più! Rising Prospects Gary Antuanne & Gary Antonio Russell
Both in Action

BROOKLYN (Novembre 27, 2018) – U.S. Concorrente olimpionico e super welter Terrell Gausha clashes with battle-tough veteran Joey Hernandez in a 10-round bout and former two-division world champion and Cuban star Rances Barthelemy competes in a 10-round super lightweight fight, while heavyweight sensation Efe Ajagba, who is shaking up the division as a fearsome puncher, enters the ring in a six-round attraction all as part of an action-packed undercard on Saturday, Dicembre 22 da Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™ and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

The stacked undercard leads into a blockbuster PBC on FOX show that features the Charlo Twins defending their world titles, and a heavyweight showdown between Dominic Breazeale and Carlos Negron in primetime. Jermall Charlo, who won a coin toss with his brother to determine their fight order, will headline the show in a 12-round WBC interim middleweight championship bout against Willie Monroe, Jr., while Jermell Charlo will defend his WBC super welterweight world title against Tony Harrison.

 

 

 

Also featured on the jam-packed undercard is middleweight contender Matt Korobov(28-1, 14 KO) in an eight-round fight and a 10-round super welterweight showdown between Brandon Quarles (20-4-1, 10 KO) e Todd Manuel (17-16-1, 5 KO).

 

 

 

The action continues with rising unbeaten prospects and younger brothers of featherweight world champion Gary Russell Jr., come 2012 U.S. Olimpionico Gary Antuanne Russell (7-0, 7 KO) fights in an eight-round super lightweight bout and unbeaten Gary Antonio Russell (12-0, 10 KO) looks to remain unbeaten in an eight-round bantamweight tilt.

 

 

 

Tickets for the show, which is being promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with DiBella Entertainment, iniziare a $50 e sono già in vendita.

The 31-year-old Gausha (20-1, 9 KO) lost for the first time of his career when he dropped a unanimous decision to Erislandy Lara in a super welterweight title match in 2017 a Barclays Center. A member of the U.S. boxing team at the 2012 London Games, Cleveland’s Gausha is looking to rebound against Hernandez.

 

 

 

Hernandez (27-4-1, 17 KO) has strung together three straight knockout victories since losing to Austin Trout in 2015 su FS1. A 34-year-old southpaw from Miami, Hernandez is coming off a TKO victory over Jose Antonio Rodriguez on August 8.

 

 

 

A prolific amateur in his native Cuba, Barthelemy (26-1, 13 KO) returns to the ring after the first defeat of his career, in a super lightweight world title fight against Kiryl Relikh in March. The 32-year-old became a world champion in 2014 when he defeated Argenis Mendez to capture a 130-pound title, and became a two-division champion when he bested Denis Shafikov for a vacant lightweight belt.

 

 

 

Ajagba (7-0, 6 KO) grabbed attention this summer when his opponent walked out of the ring after touching gloves and the bell sounded to start the opening round live on FS1. He is the lone opponent to leave the ring unscathed against the 24-year-old Ajagba, who was a member of the Nigerian boxing team in the 2016 Rio Olympics and will step into the ring for the fifth time this year and for the second time at Barclays Center as a pro.

HERNANDEZ TO APPEAR ON “THE CONTENDER”

Lascia un commento
(Credito: Epix / Dianna Garcia – Beck Media)

FRESNO, COME (Agosto 1, 2018) – Marcos “Mad Man” Hernandez (11-1-1, 3 KO), who is advised by Al Haymon and fighting under the Premier Boxing Champions platform of fight cards, will appear on the upcoming season of The Contender on EPIX®.

 

The highly anticipated 12-episode season, from MGM Television and Paramount Television, will premiere on EPIX® on Aug. 24, 2018, a 10 PM ET/PT with Hernandez being one of the more notable middleweights featured on the series multiple fights televised on FS1.

 

Hernandez, a native of Fresno, COME, trained with his father Joey Hernandez until a heavily debated split-decision loss to Kyrone “Spegnerlo” Davis made Hernandez rethink his training habits. He has since moved his camp to Southern California and begun training with Henry Ramirez. Since the move Hernandez, has since gone undefeated in the professional realm.

 

 

“I am excited that a lot of people will get to see me on The Contender,” Ha detto Hernandez. “I loved being on the show and growing up I watched it every week. It was amazing to see Andre Ward e Sergio Mora là. Those guys are two fighters who fought at middleweight that I have looked up to my whole career.”

 

“This is an opportunity to create a better life for my son, my wife as well as my mom and dad. I am proud to be from Fresno and I want people to know where I am from and who I am fighting for.”

Calderon batte Martinez in Grudge Match all'Hard Rock Event Center al Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casinò di Hollywood, Fla.

Lascia un commento

Stasera è stata decisa un'accesa rivalità tra i pesi welter di fronte a una folla quasi esaurita all'Hard Rock Event Center al Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casinò di Hollywood, Florida, nel ruolo di Harold "King" Calderon di Miami (17-0, 10 KO) l'ex imbattuto John David "Pretty Boy" Martinez di Miami (10-1, 8 KO)

 

 

Combattere nell'evento principale di 10 round del Heavyweight Factory Boxing di Kris Lawrence "Hometown Throwdown,"evento", Calderon ha ottenuto una decisione dominante in 10 round con decine di 99-91, 100-90 e 100-90.

 

 

 

Un mancino con pugni combinati, Calderon aveva troppe armi per Martinez. Ha strappato il corpo e si è diretto verso 10 round, mentre Martinez offriva l'occasionale uno/due.

 

 

 

Entrambi i combattenti sono enormemente popolari nella regione e i loro fan hanno provato di tutto per affogarsi a vicenda in tutti i combattimenti.

 

 

 

Nel co-main event superleggero da 10 round della notte, L'imbattuto Logan "The Korican Kid" Yoon di Honolulu ha spostato il suo record su 12-0, 10 KO, con una decisione unanime di routine sul veterano colombiano Luis E. Fiori (24-10, 20 KO).

 

 

 

La promettente diciannovenne Yoon, il campione WBO-NABO Youth Super Lightweight e contendente WBO #13-rated, ho imparato una lezione sulle tattiche di sopravvivenza dei veterani, mentre seguiva il riluttante colombiano intorno al ring per l'intero combattimento, in cerca di opportunità per impegnarsi. Flores ha atterrato la mano destra occasionale sul mancino Yoon, ma per lo più tirava colpi a vuoto che mancavano e poi giravano rapidamente fuori dalla portata di qualsiasi fuoco di risposta.

 

 

 

Yoon è stato tagliato sopra l'occhio sinistro da una testata, ma è comunque riuscito a dominare l'azione infrequente. I punteggi sono stati 99-91, 97-93 e 97-93.

 

 

 

Il due volte medaglia olimpica Ivan Dychko di Hollywood, Florida, via Kazakistan, ha spostato il suo record perfetto in 7-0 (7 KO) con una demolizione di un pugno di una volta promettente Maurice Harris 26-22-3 (11 KO) di arancia orientale, New Jersey.

 

 

 

Dychko, che ha detto che sperava di imparare qualcosa dall'esperto Harris, ha atterrato un gancio destro di striscio e Harris ha scelto di cercare un punto debole per atterrare. I fan delusi esprimono la loro disapprovazione per il mancato impegno di Harris. Il tempo del 10 contare era 1:39.

 

 

 

Due pesi piuma sono andati a una guerra gradita alla folla per il diritto di vantarsi in tutta la città, e dopo sei round di azione "bombe via", Jessy Cruz (ora 13-7-1, 5 KO) ha finito per prendere una decisione unanime sul collega residente a Miami Raul Chirino (11-8, 6 KO).

 

 

 

La Cruz piena d'azione non sembra essere in una brutta lotta e questo non era diverso. Era a terra e gravemente ferito verso la fine del primo round. Chirino è stato gravemente sfalsato alla fine del secondo round e giù da una mano destra nel terzo round.

 

 

 

I punteggi sono stati 58-54, 57-55 e 57-55, ma questa divertente lotta avrebbe potuto essere facilmente definita un pareggio.

 

 

 

Un singolo gancio sinistro di Livan Navarro di Miami a 2:47 del primo round ha posto fine a quello che si preannunciava essere un discreto showdown di otto round welter contro il dominicano Julio C Reynoso.

 

 

 

La coppia è uscita oscillando per le recinzioni e Navarro (ora 8-0, 6 KO) colpiscilo per primo con la mazza con la mano sinistra alla mascella di Reynoso (ora 12-2, 7 KO) che è caduto e ha preso il pieno 10 contare su un ginocchio.

 

 

 

In una rissa in cui entrambi i combattenti sembravano ferirsi, il popolare picchiatore di Miami Ulysses Diaz è stato costretto ad andare lontano per la prima volta, but still managed to win his light heavyweight four-rounder over Chicago’s Israel Echevarria by unanimous decision (scores of 39-37, 40-36 e 40-36).

 

 

 

As in many fights tonight, the judges’ verdicts were no indication of the closeness of the fight. The two warriors each did their share of good work. The heavily muscled Diaz (ora 6-0, 5 KO) landed the harder punches occasionally while favoring his right arm. The crafty Echevarria (ora 3-5, 2 KO) snuck in a number of sneaky shots, despite an injured left leg.

 

 

 

To put it mildly, Echevarria was very unhappy with the decision.

 

 

 

In an all-Miami super middleweight scrap, Cuban import Irosvani Duvergel (3-0, 2 KO) won a four-round unanimous decision over “better than his record” Elie Agustama (6-9, 3 KO).

 

 

 

Duvergel, who had never seen the second round of a professional fight previously, dropped Agustama in the first, but the durable Agustama got up and made a great fight of it. The free-swinging pair brawled furiously the rest of the way. The scores (40-35, 39-36 e 39-36) didn’t reflect the competitiveness of the combat.

 

 

 

In a back-and-forth six-round lightweight battle, Coral Springs, Florida’s Dustin Arnold (5-1, 1 KO) won a closely contested unanimous decision over Miami’s Daniel Placeres (ora (6-1, 5 KO).

 

 

 

Arnold landed the cleaner, harder shots to offset the superior work rate of the shorter Placeres. Plenty of crowd support for both fighters. I punteggi sono stati 60-54, 58-56 e 59-55

 

 

 

Undefeated Lawrence Newton, di Boynton Beach, Florida, chose to brawl inside for all six rounds of his super bantamweight showdown with tough Mexican, Pedro Melo of Tijuana.

 

 

The result was an entertaining if one-sided brawl with nice punches landed both ways. Alla fine, Newton (10-0, 6 KO) kept his perfect record by scores of 60-54, 59-55 e 59-55. Melo falls to 17-19-2, 8 KO) with his respectable performance.

Spero che alcuni di questi veterani possano darmi qualche giro e lasciarmi mettermi alla prova contro di loro e magari insegnarmi alcune cose”.

The pair have decided Miami isn’t big enough for two undefeated 147-lb. fighters and one of them will lose their “0” that night.

 

 

 

The co-main event will be the 10-round rubber match of an entertaining three-fight series between veteran Florida middleweights Joey “Twinkle Fingers” Hernandez (26-4-1, 16 KO) and Ed “The Lion” Paredes (38-7-1, 25 KO).

They have also had to be separated at previous weigh-ins.

LAS VEGAS, NV (Gennaio 20, 2017) – Erislandy Lara, the WBA/IBO 154-pound champion, scored two knockouts in his match against Yuri Foreman in Miami on Premier Championship Boxing su Spike TV last Friday night. One in the ring to retain his world titles and another in the ratings. An average of 547,000 spettatori, con un pubblico di picco 707,000, tuned in to watch Lara land a devastating uppercut that knocked out former world champion Foreman in the fourth round.
Spike TV’s viewership ratings for Lara vs. Foreman scored 11% higher than their last Friday night telecast, which showcased Danny Jacobs vs Sergio Mora. Look for Erislandy Lara to return to the ring sometime before summer.

Here is what Lara had to say about Foreman, training camp with Ronnie Shields and more:
Nel suo recente campo di addestramento…
“We just wrapped up about a week and we got some good rest during fight week. Training camp has been very productive. I’m comfortable with my weight and I feel strong going into this fight. My strength and conditioning is right where I want it. Ronnie and I are always polishing up on the things I do well. Generale, it’s been a great camp.”
On facing former world champion Yuri Foreman…
“I’m grateful to Yuri Foreman for accepting this fight. I know he’s hungry to get back in the ring. He wants to prove that he’s still relevant in the super welterweight division. He’s a former world champion who knows what it’s like to win at the elite level. I’m not looking past Yuri Forman, but I’m very confident I’ll be victorious. I feel I’m going to be the superior fighter when we both step in the ring domani notte.”
On returning to Miami to fight in front of a large Cuban community…
“My last fight here was amazing and the fan support was unbelievable. I got the knockout and I’m hoping to do the same again. If I see my opponent hurt, I’ll be looking to take him out. I love my Cuban countrymen and all their support, as well as my American fans. Miami is like a second home to me and I can’t wait to give the fans a great show.”
On the state of the super welterweight division…
“The division, secondo me, is the most talented division in boxing. Everyone at the top is looking to cement their legacy in boxing history and everyone is spectacular. Nel futuro, we will all have to face each other at some point. Così, expect some unification bout to be presented, and may the best man rise to the top. I know I’m ready to fight everyone, but first I must get past Foreman.”
On fighting in the main event on Spike…
“Fighting on Spike, come l'evento principale, is going to fantastic. The exposure is wonderful for any athlete competing on their network. Boxing is a great sport, and Spike TV is helping us gain more fans with their viewers. The PBC is doing an excellent job. I’m very happy to be fighting on network television.”

Erislandy Lara
“Thank you everyone for coming, especially Spike TV and Hialeah Park. Thanks to Team Foreman for taking this fight. E sarà una grande lotta Venerdì notte.
“Yuri Foreman is a great fighter and a very smart fighter. I am also a very smart fighter, e allora Venerdì night we’re going to find out who is the smarter one in the ring.
“Mi sento benissimo. Very happy to be back in Miami in front of my Cuban and Latin fans. This is a great night for Miami and Spike and I plan on putting on a show and making a statement to the boxing world.
“Mi sento benissimo. I’m in great shape and feel very strong. I’m ready to fight right now. I just want the bell to ring.”
Yuri Foreman
“It’s great to be here in Miami where it’s nice and warm and with so many great fighters on this card. I’m ready and looking forward to Venerdì. I came here to win and I feel very positive about this.
“Erislandy Lara is a great fighter, but me being from the Soviet Union, I’m very familiar with Cuban boxing and have quite a bit of experience with their style, so I’m looking forward to stepping in and showcasing my talents and skills.
“Being a rabbi, it is sometimes very interesting to mix that with fighting, ma Venerdì night I won’t be in rabbi mode. I will be all fighter. We are going to show skills and heart and power il Venerdì notte.”
ANTHONY Dirrell
“I think this is my third Spike event and I’m happy to be fighting on a show with two great fighters like Lara and Foreman.
“It’s going to be a hell of a show. We are going to put on a great show. All the fights on the card are tremendous fights – undefeated fighters fighting undefeated fighters and champions fighting champions and we are all coming to win.
“I was going to talk a lot of trash to him (Nemespati), but he can’t understand me anyway. I am looking forward to a great fight against a good opponent like him. Assicurati di sintonizzarsi il Venerdì and catch the action!”
NORBERT NEMESAPATI
“I am coming in as the smaller fighter, so I will have to put a lot of pressure on him. I sparred a lot of rounds for this fight, with a lot of tall guys. That’s fine with me that he is taller because I love to punch to the body.
“I might never get another opportunity like this, so I have to make the most of it. This is a beautiful place and I’m coming to the ring to win big. Thank you for this very special opportunity.”
MIGUEL CRUZ
“I wish that Alex Martin was here so I could talk a little smack to his face.
“13-0, 11 KOs vs. 13-0, 5 KO… basically somebody’s ‘0’ has to go and I can give you a hint… it’s not going to be mine.
“I’m going to crush him like an ant with a sledgehammer. I’m going to destroy him. That’s the plan. Da non perdere.”
