I’ll look to show more of my speed and my boxing skill in this fight. I need more rounds and experience to progress. I want to box and move more, use my feet more in this fight. I’d like to do that, but we’ll see what happens.”

Ortiz, also a former champion, has always come to fight and doesn’t back down from anyone. It promises to be an entertaining match for the fans in attendance at Don Haskins Center and those who tune in on FOX and FOX Deportes.”
Ortiz (32-6-2, 25 Kos), a former 147-pound champion, has split time between boxing and acting throughout his recent career and brings a certain flare every time he steps into the ring. The 30-year-old native of Garden City, Kansas who now lives in Ventura, Kalifornien, has faced some of the top names in the 147-pound division during his career.

“I’m excited to get back in there against a fighter like Victor Ortiz,” säger Alexander. “We’ve known each other a long time but never fought in the amateurs, so this should be interesting. My speed, quickness and smarts will win me this fight. Victor checks out sometimes when he can’t hit you, so my skills will be the difference. I’m ready for any challenge that’s brought my way. When I’m 100 procent, nobody can beat me.”
Växt (16-0, 10 Kos) won eight of his first nine fights by knockout, demonstrating power in both hands to go along with his boxing abilities.

Lämna en kommentar

Sampson boxing proudly announces the signing of undefeated featherweight Eduardo “Zurdito” Ramirez of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexiko, to an exclusive long-term promotional contract.

Ramirez (20-0-2, 7 Kos) is a 24-year-old, highly skilled southpaw with fast hands and super defense. He is managed and trained by Manuel Montiel Jr., brother of the five-time world champion Fernando Montiel.
“I am shocked and honored to be chosen to join the stable of Sampson Lewkowicz,” said Ramirez. “My dream of a world title shot will come true now that he is helping me and that was my goal all along. All I have to do is keep wining and my team will do the rest.”
Montiel, who also manages and trains Sampson Boxing super welterweight contender Jorge Cota, was also happy with the deal.
“I am grateful to Sampson for giving us this opportunity with another of my fighters. We have made him a commitment to work hard to always bring Eduardo into the ring in the best shape possible to go all the way to the world championship.”
For Lewkowicz, the addition of Ramirez and partnership with Montiel are another avenue to bring Mexican boxing talent to the forefront. The well-known promoter already works with such names as Jorge “Pestle” Lara and Hugo “Cuatito” Ruiz to name a few.

“I am working hard to bring more Mexican champions to the world,” he explained. “I’m very proud to sign Eduardo and bring him and his team the opportunities they have worked so hard to reach.”

BROOKLYN (Mars 5, 2017) – Keith Thurman är den förenade välvärdets världsmästare.
Thurman (28-0, 22 Kos) förenade boxningens glamourdivision med en seger med splitbeslut Danny Garcia (33-1, 19 Kos) på lördag, försvarar sitt WBA-bälte och plockade upp Garcias WBC-krona på boxningens största scen i primetime på CBS från Barclays Center, hemmet till BROOKLYN BOXING ™.

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING på CBS huvudevenemang, som presenterades av Premier Boxing Champions, var en berättelse om effektiv aggression och ringgeneralskap. Thurman kom ut och svängde och var den livligare och mer exakta fighter i nio av 12 rundor. “One Time” Thurman var mer taktisk under den andra halvan av kampen, utnyttjar lateral rörelse och arbetar med sin jab. Garcia tog fart och var mer aktiv i slutrundorna, men det var för lite för sent för den tidigare obesegrade infödda i Philadelphia.
“Jag trodde att jag slog ut honom.” Said Thurman, som troligen fick en plats på boxningens mytiska pund-för-pund-lista med den imponerande segern. “Jag trodde att det var en tydlig seger, men Danny kom att slåss. Jag visste när den delades och jag hade så stor spridning, Jag visste att det måste gå till mig.
“Jag gav inte striden. Jag kände att vi hade en bra ledning, vi kunde svalna. Jag kände att vi kontrollerade tre minuters intervaller varje omgång. Mitt försvar var effektivt – han landade inte.”
En tidigare förenad mästare på 140 pund, Garcia siktade på att bli den första kämpen i historien som förena titlar på 140 och 147 pounds.
“Jag kom kort i kväll,” Said Garcia, som gick in i anfallet med en 7-0 rekord i världstitelutfall. “Jag trodde att jag var aggressorn. Jag trodde att jag pressade takten. Men det gick inte min väg.
“Jag trodde att jag vann och jag pressade kampen. Men det är vad det är. Jag kommer starkt tillbaka som en riktig mästare. Jag skulle älska en ommatch för att få dessa titlar.”
SHOWTIME Sportanalytiker och inofficiell poängsnabb Steve Farhood gjorde kampen 116-112 för Thurman.

“Jag betade honom med jabben. Jag visste att han skulle komma med de stora skotten tidigt,” Lubin sa till reportern Jim Gray. “Jag satte några knep på honom, Jag landade så överhand och det var natt-natt. Jag satte ner mina händer för att beta honom i, Jag gjorde en huk och sedan var det natt-natt. Jag var redo att följa upp med en rättighet men han var redan ute.”
På bara 21-årig, Lubin har nu en möjlighet att bli den yngsta världsmästaren i boxning idag.
“Det skulle betyda mycket för mig; det skulle betyda mycket för Orlando, Florida,” Sa Lubin. “Det här är min andra gång som slår ut någon framför Ray Leonard. Han är en av mina favoritkämpar genom tiderna. Det är en ära att göra detta på CBS.”
