Here is what the Benavídez brothers, plus their father and trainer Jose Benavídez Sr., had to say from training camp in North Hollywood, קליפורניה:

DAVID BENAVÍDEZ

“Everything has been amazing in camp. We’re sparring 12-13 rounds and running six or seven miles a day. I’ve worked very hard and I can’t wait to put on a show November 13.

“Uzcátegui is a tough competitor and he was a former world champion, so I have to give him that respect. There are big fights on the horizon for me, so I have to prepare accordingly for Uzcátegui.

“I feel like I’m the better fighter. I have the better skills, more power, more speed and I’m hungrier too. It’s going to be a great night for my team. I feel like I’m going to go in there and get the knockout victory.

“A lot of people in Phoenix are excited for this one. I’m excited to go back. The timing is perfect. בשבילי, this is the biggest fight of my career. I’m ready for anything that comes my way November 13.

“We’re just focused on Uzcátegui, but of course there are bigger fights for me in the future. If I win this fight, I’m in the number one spot for whoever wins between Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant.

“Facing Canelo would be a huge fight in the super middleweight division, but I have to go out there on November 13 and get this victory first.

"עכשיו, with the level I’m at, the fighters that I’m seeking to fight are champions and former champions. Whether it’s Canelo, Plant or Jermall Charlo, I feel like we’re all going to end up facing each other at some point.

“Canelo vs. Plant is a great fight for the division. It’s a fight where both guys have a lot to prove. Those kinds of fights tend to bring the best out of everybody. There’s a lot of pressure and a lot of glory on the line, so I feel like they’re going to be the best they’ve ever been. I’m going to be ready for the winner next.

“I’ve been a pro for eight years already. I just want the biggest fights out there. This is the level I’ve been working to get to for a long time, and we’re finally here at this moment. I want to fight the best of the best and prove myself. I want to show that I’m the best super middleweight in the world.

“Uzcátegui is strong and he has a will to win, but I just believe that I have the better skill set. These are the types of fighters that I need to test myself against. It’s definitely going to be a war, but I’m going to come out on top.”

JOSÉ BENAVÍDEZ

“It feels great to be on this card with my brother, and to be making my comeback in my hometown. There’s going to be a lot of support for me. It’s a great feeling and I’m looking forward to giving my fans a great outcome.

“I had to take a break, but now I have a different kind of mindset. I just want to keep fighting, training and staying ready. I want to get to the top of the super welterweight division.

“The delay has just given me more time to train, more time to get stronger and more time to get ready. I’ve just been making the most of it.

“I’m going to be an animal on fight night. I’m coming for everything. אני רעב. I’ve been out of the ring for years, so I need to make a statement. That’s what I’m looking to do November 13.

“We have a great team here. We all came from nothing and we all started this journey at the same time. We learned day by day and that’s what makes our bond strong. Without my team, I wouldn’t be boxing.

“I have a lot of friends, family and fans who are coming out for my return. That’s really what’s motivating me. I’m happy that people still want to see me in the ring.

"אני לא יודע יותר מדי על היריב שלי, and I honestly don’t care, because I’m taking him down. No matter who they put in front of me, good luck to them.

“After my fight, which I’m going to end early, I’m going to be ready to walk out with my brother and support him for his fight.

“I’ve been spending a lot of time with my wife and my two daughters during this time off because there were so many things I wasn’t able to be around for earlier in my career. It’s been amazing but I’m excited to be back. I still have a lot to prove.”

JOSÉ BENAVÍDEZ SR., David and José’s Father and Trainer

“David is looking very strong right now. With every fight he gets stronger and stronger and matures more and more. He’s just getting his man strength, so I think everyone is going to see something spectacular November 13.

“Words can’t even describe how it feels to be coming back to Phoenix training my two sons for this big show. It’s something I’ve only dreamed of. Now it’s happening, and we’re super excited.

“I always have to continue adjusting and growing as a trainer. I have to understand that these are grown men now. I had to stop thinking of them as my little kids. I’m always trying to learn more so that I can support their careers as best I can.

“I’m super proud of Jose for getting to this point after his injury. Everything he does now is just extra, it’s up to him to stay focused and work hard. He’s very strong both physically and mentally and that’s why I never gave up on him.

“We’ve been dedicating ourselves and sacrificing every day so that we can give our people in Phoenix a really good show. They’re going to get an exciting night and I can’t wait.”

The Benavídez brothers and Castro hail from Phoenix and have their sights set on impressing their hometown fans.

כרטיסים לאירוע בשידור חי, which is promoted by Sampson Boxing and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and are available for purchase through Ticketmaster.com.

“I am happy to be bringing David ‘El Bandera Roja’ Benavidez back to his hometown to fight after so many years away,” said Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing. “It is going to be a sensational welcome party for him and all the fans.”

Still just 24-years-old, Benavídez (24-0, 21 קוס) enters this fight having knocked out his last four opponents, including a September 2019 knockout of two-time super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell. לאחרונה, he earned stoppage victories over Roamer Alexis Angulo in August 2020 and Ronald Ellis in March of this year. Benavídez is trained by his father José Sr., alongside his brother and former title challenger, José Jr. ב 2017, he became the youngest super middleweight champion in boxing history by defeating Ronald Gavril on SHOWTIME at just 20 שנים. Representing his native Phoenix, אריזונה., Benavídez went from a 15-year-old prodigy sparring with Gennady Golovkin and Peter Quillin, to world title contender with a 10-fight knockout streak from 2015 דרך 2017, including a highlight-reel knockout of Rogelio Medina with a seven-punch combination that earned him his first title opportunity.

“I’m super excited to fight in front of my hometown fans,” said Benavídez. “It’s a dream come true for me to come back home as a two-time world champion. I’m training for Uzcategui like he’s a world champ because he has a lot of experience and he’s a hungry fighter. I know that he needs this win, but I won’t let that happen. I’m staying dedicated and motivated to win on August 28 on SHOWTIME and I want to look impressive doing it in order to get even bigger and better fights in the future.”

Born in Venezuela and fighting out of Tijuana, מקסיקו, Uzcategui (31-4, 26 קוס) captured a 168-pound world title in March of 2018 by stopping veteran contender Andre Dirrell after eight rounds. The 30-year-old put himself in position to fight for a title with four-straight stoppage victories from 2015 דרך 2016, including a win over then-unbeaten Julius Jackson. Since losing the title to unbeaten champion Caleb Plant in January 2019, Uzcategui has rebounded to win three of his last four fights, including knockout wins in 2021 over Jaime Hernandez Lopez and Josue Obando.

“I’m excited to be back on the big stage for this fight,"אמר Uzcategui. “I know what I’m up against with Benavídez. הוא לוחם גדול, and that’s my biggest motivation. This is going to be a war and I can’t wait to give the people a great fight. Both of us come to brawl, so this is going to be a classic on August 28.”

The 28-year-old Benavídez (27-1, 18 קוס) is the older brother of main event headliner David and returns to fight in his hometown of Phoenix for the first time in six years. A long-established contender, Benavídez will return to action for the first time since dropping a 147-pound title showdown to Terence Crawford in October 2018. Benavídez had previously earned wins over contenders such as Mauricio Herrera, Francisco Santana and Frank Rojas on his way to that world title opportunity.

“I’m really excited to be back in the ring after being out for a while,” said Benavidez. “I feel more mature, motivated and stronger than ever. Fighting alongside my brother and in my hometown is really a dream come true. I’m really looking forward to making a tremendous comeback. It doesn’t matter who they put in front of me, I guarantee that I’m going to take them out. No one is going to want to miss this night, because me and my brother are bringing the fireworks.”

A native of boxing-rich Buenos Aires, ארגנטינה, טורס (17-3, 5 קוס) enters this fight the winner of his last nine contests dating back to 2018. The 31-year-old will fight in the U.S. for the third time on August 28, having scored stateside victories over Cleotis Pendarvis in August 2020 and Louis Hernandez in February of this year. Torres most recently won a unanimous decision over Alexi Rivera in June as he prepares for his toughest fight to date against Benavídez.

“I’m very pumped up for this fight,” said Torres. “I want to thank my whole team for this opportunity to participate in such an important fight. This is a great chance for me to go to the next level against a great fighter who’s had an exceptional career. I will work very hard to get the victory on August 14 and raise high the flag of Argentina.”

קסטרו (26-0, 11 קוס) has climbed the rankings since turning pro in 2012 as he seeks a shot at a super bantamweight championship. The Phoenix-native added two victories in 2020, defeating Jesus Ruiz in February before stopping longtime contender Cesar Juarez in four rounds in July. Castro was coming off a 2019 campaign that saw him score three victories, including 10-round unanimous decision triumphs over former title challenger Genesis Servania and veteran contender Mario Diaz.

“I’m very grateful for this opportunity to fight an excellent opponent in Oscar Escandon,” said Castro. “I’m very motivated to put on a great performance in front of my hometown fans. באוגוסט 28, I’m going to be ready to showcase all of my skills and hard work in the ring so I leave with my hand raised.”

A native of Ibague, קולומביה, Escandon (26-5, 18 קוס) has faced a slew of top contenders and champions including featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr. and super bantamweight champion Brandon Figueroa, plus hard-hitting contender Tugstsogt Nyambayar. Escandon captured an interim title in 2016 when he knocked out Robinson Castellanos to earn his world title shot against Russell. לאחרונה, Escandon scored a first-round knockout over previously unbeaten contender Jhack Tepora in December of 2019.

I’m very focused on training for this fight because I know a win can lead me back to another world title opportunity,” said Escandon. “Castro is a good young fighter who has a solid jab and can move. But I think he’s the perfect opponent for me. There are a lot of things we can do to win this fight and I can’t wait to go in there on August 28 and show it.

לוס אנג'לס (ינואר 13) - הצ'לנג'ר הוכיח את התוקפן כאשר קאלב צמח הפך לאלופת העולם במשקל בינוני של IBF, מנצח את חוסה Uzcategui באירוע המרכזי של אלופי האגרוף הראשונים באירוע FS1 ו- FOX DePortes של 2019, שהתרחש בתיאטרון מיקרוסופט ב- L.A. לחיות בלוס אנג'לס. צמח שלט במאבק כולו כששמר על קצב מהיר ואגרסיבי מפעמון הפתיחה.

עִם ציונים של 116-110 פעמיים ו 115-111 לטובת צמח, הכתר טרי אַלוּף, צמח נפל על ברכיו שהתגבר על רגש כששמע "ואת חָדָשׁ!".

"אני עבדתי את כל חיי,"אמר צמח. "קברתי את הבת שלי ב תהליך הניסיון להשיג את החגורה הזו. הבטחתי שאביא לה את התואר הזה ו זה מה שאני הולך לעשות. "

THE סופר משקל בינוני ברנברנר התחיל חזק כששני הלוחמים זורקים חילופי דברים, אבל צמח עשה כל שביכולתו לעולם לא לסגת. Uzcategui זרק ידיים ימניות קשות כדי להתחיל את הסיבוב השני, אבל צמח הפך במהירות את סביבו לטובתו כשהוא דפק את Uzcategui לבד אגרופים, רק בפעם השלישית Uzcategui הופל בקריירה שלו. א חתך קטן נפתח מתחת לעין שמאל של Uzcategui כדי להתחיל את השלישי, אבל הוא נלחם דרכו והוגן על התוקפנות של הצמח. דקה אחת לרביעי עִגוּל, חתך שנפתח תחת עינו הימנית של הצמח וגורם לזרם דם. זֶה לא עצר את יליד נאשוויל כשזרק קרס שמאלי קשה שוב נשלח uzcategui לבד.

כְּמוֹ הקרב התקדם, הוונצואלה לא הצליח להשתמש במרחקו, כָּך מאפשר לצמח להילחם מבפנים. למרות חילופי דברים טובים בשביעית ושמינית, התברר יותר ויותר כי Uzcategui תצטרך נוק -אאוט להחזיק את חגורתו. Uzcategui העביר מתג בסבבי האליפות והגיע קדימה, זורק מכות קשות לגוף וראש הצמח. אבל זה היה מעט מדי מאוחר מדי עבור uzcategui כאשר אלוף הטבעת של הצמח שלט על קצב הקטטה, בסופו של דבר מסתיים בהחלטה פה אחד.

“אֲנִי ידעתי שתפסתי אותו נקי [כשהפילתי את uzcategui], אבל ידעתי שהוא לא כל הדרך החוצה אז לקחתי את זמני,"צמח המשך. "נשארתי רגוע. נתקעתי לתוכנית המשחק וסיימת את זה בדיוק כמו שאמרתי שאעשה זאת.

“זֶה הוא מהמם. אני ילד שבא מכלום. האמנתי בעצמי ועכשיו הוכתרתי למלך. עכשיו, אני לא חושב קדימה. אני רק רוצה חבק את הרגע הזה וספוג אותו פנימה.” 

"אֲנִי הרגשתי שיש לי את היתרון לכניסה למאבק,"אמר Uzcategui. "אֲנִי ירד כי הייתי מחוץ לאיזון, אבל לא נפגעתי. הוא התחיל להתעייף סביב הסיבוב השישי, שהייתה התוכנית. כלב ידע להתכווץ ולהחזיק. הוא היה חכם. הוא ידע להתרחק מהאגרופים.

"אֲנִי ציפו ליותר תנועה ויותר איגרוף ממנו,"המשך Uzcategui. "אֲנִי יאהב את השידור המחודש. אני חושב שכולם ראו קטטה נהדרת הלילה. נתתי לו הסיכוי לתואר ואני מקווה שהוא ייתן לי את ההזדמנות לזכות בזה בְּחֲזָרָה."

בִּלתִי מְנוּצָח ברנדון פיגרואה (18-0, 13 קוס) של Weslaco, טקסס התמודדה עם תואר העולם לשעבר Challenger Moises Flores (25-2, 17 קוס) של גוודלחרה, מקס. בסופר WBA מחלת הכותרת במשקל בנטמינט. פיגוארואה לא בזבז זמן לתקוף פלורס סיבוב ראשון כשהוא קדימה וזרק כמה שמחים קשים ואחריהם גופה ירייה שנראתה מפתיעה את פלורס. עם 30 שניות לסיום בסיבוב, Figueroa הלך על הגוף ועבד פלורס מבפנים. בעוד שנראה פלורס למצוא את דרכו בתחילת הסיבוב השלישי, Figueroa שיחרר אגרופים ששלחו פלורס לבד פעם אחת ואז פעם שנייה שהסתיימה הקרב ב 1:35 של הסיבוב השלישי.

"לִשְׁבּוֹר אותו למטה וסיים אותו,"אמר פיגרואה" ככה בדיוק ציפיתי שזה יעשה זאת לָלֶכֶת. ידעתי שהוא לא מתכוון להתמודד עם צילומי הגוף האלה. ההודעה שלי ל דניאל רומן הוא שאני הולך לחזור הביתה ולהתכונן.

"אֲנִי השתמש בעבודת הגוף ההיא,"המשך פיגוארואה. "אני ממש חזק. נכנסתי ב 110 אחוז ועשה את העבודה שלי. אני יכול לעשות יותר טוב. אני ממש קשה עם עצמי. אֲנִי יודע שיש דברים שאני יכול להמשיך לעבוד עליהם ואעשה את זה ברגע שאני תחזור הביתה. אני בהחלט מוכן לצילום תואר. "

עלייה במהירות כוכב בלתי מנוצח ו- PBC סיכוי 2018 ג'ואי ספנסר (6-0, 6 קוס) של לינדן, מישיגן., המשיך את רצף הנוק -אאוט המרשים שלו כשהוא ניצח את ברנדון חזק יותר (2-2, 1 KO) של סאות'אבן, עלמה., בתחרות משקל סופר ורידה שראתה ספנסר דופק יותר שלוש פעמים בפחות משני סיבובים. THE ספנסר בן ה -18, שנלחם 100 נלחם כחובבן, הקים את הג'אב שלו מוקדם ונחת כרצונו. הוא זרק ונחת ישר ממש בסוף סיבוב אחד ששלח חזק יותר לברכיו. ארבעים וחמש שניות לסיבוב השני, ספנסר שלח חזק יותר לבד שוב ואחריו נחיל אגרופים סיים את הקטטה ב 1:27 של הסיבוב.

"אוהדים הולך לראות שאני נותן את כל זה כשאני נכנס לזירה ואני הולך לשים מופע,אמר ספנסר. "אתה הולך לקבל יותר ויותר בדיקות בי קריירה ואני מאמין שאעלה לרמת התחרות שלי. לִפְעָמִים אתה שם עם בחור מביך, הוא מוכיח שהוא מבחן. אני אעבור לשש סיבובים למאבק הבא שלי. אני רוצה להילחם ארבע פעמים השנה ואני מסתכל קדימה לזה. "

THE אלופי אגרוף פרמייר פרלימים ב- FS1 היו שלושה התקפות שהסתיימו בהן ניצחונות נוקאאוט מרגשים, בועט לילה נהדר של קרבות.

THE Prelim Telecast הציג את החזרת הטבעת המיוחלת של Guillermo Rigondeux (18-1, 12 קוס) שלא נלחמו מאז דצמבר 2017. אהוב המעריצים הקובני התמודד עם ג'ובאני דלגאדו מטקובאיה, מקס. (16-9, 9 קוס) והפיל אותו פנימה השנייה האחרונה של סיבוב אחד עם שמאלה יתר על המידה. לא ניתן היה להציל את דלגאדו על ידי 10 הספירה והקטטה נקראה לטובת grigondeux.

“זֶה היא החטיבה שלי. זה הזמן שלי,"אמר ריגונדו. "אני המלך של 122 קילו. הרגשתי 100 אחוזים. Delgado הוא לוחם טוב. אני מוריד את הכובע אליו אליו והצוות שלו. הגעתי מוכנה ואני מוכן להתמודד עם אנשים שכן לא מנוצח. מי שיש לו חגורה, אני לוקח את זה. אתה יכול לצפות לי לחזור פחות מאשר חודשיים.”

"אֲנִי נלחם באליל שלי הערב,"אמר דלגאדו. "ידעתי שהוא היכה קשה, אבל לא ידעתי הוא פגע בזה קשה. הרופא פונה אותי ואינני בסדר. רק קצת קצת בהלם. "

א התקף משקל כבד קליל מתוכנן שמונה סיבובים הכולל את אחמד אלביאלי של מצרים (18-1, 15 קוס) נגד אלן גרין הוותיק בן 16 (33-6, 22 קוס) של טולסה, בְּסֵדֶר ראה אלביאלי דופק ירוק בכל סיבוב. עם זאת, גרין אכן מציג את שלו התנסו בבחירתו ללכת עד אצבע רגל-אצבע למרות התוקפנות של אלביאלי. סופו של דבר, זה היה עליון ימני ואחריו ימין ידני ששלח ירוק אל בד כ- Elbiali קלע נוק -אאוט ב 1:16 סיבוב שלושה.

"אֲנִי היה קל יותר ממה שחשבתי שזה הולך להיות,"אמר אלביאלי. "הפסד לפסקל כמו שעשיתי, זה מתעסק איתך נפשית. ניסיתי להישאר במשחק ה- A שלי. הישאר ממוקד ולמרבה המזל זה הראה. תוכנית המשחק שלי לחצה ממש טוב. יש לי התקרב עם כלב (מפעל) ושאר חבר'ה נהדרים אחרים. זה שומר עליך חד ו עֵרָנִי. אשמח לזכות בתואר עולמי ולהיות המנצח המצרי הראשון בעולם אַלִיפוּת."

Dirrell has moved his training camp out to Oakland to train with Hunter and gain wisdom from being around Ward. Ward for his part, feels Dirrell has not yet reached his potential in the ring.
The way I feel about Andre is the way I’ve always felt, the sky’s the limit,” said the recently retired Ward. “He has the God-given ability and talent to do whatever he wants to do in a boxing ring. במילים אחרות, he is blessed with the kind of gifts, that if he’s made up his mind that he won’t allow himself to be beat and if he prepares properly in camp, it’s going to be very hard to beat him.
With a fighter with Andre’s experience and pedigree, it’s less physical and more psychological. Do you want to be a champion and do you want to dominate your division? If the answer is yes, which I believe it is, then go do it. It sounds simple and in many ways it is, but you have to be very intentional to condition your mind to think this way and really believe it. That’s the reason he is training with Virgil in the Bay Area. Physical training, mental preparation & spiritual preparation. It all matters.
Here is part of what Dirrell had to say about training camp with Hunter and Ward. Read the full story כאן via PremierBoxingChampions.com.
What are some of the nuances Virgil brings, and will your grandfather, ליאון “Bumper” לוסון, remain in your corner?
Virgil is teaching me similarly to the way my grandfather taught me, and I can easily say that he’s picking up where my grandfather left off. My grandfather put my talents in me, making me the fighter Andre Ward had to worry about back in the day.
But my grandfather doesn’t have the ability to coach really anymore because he’s in the beginning stages of dementia, but I still have him in my corner, and I always will. Virgil has taken over, and this is bar-none, the best I’ve felt, מבחינה נפשית, בקריירה שלי. There are little things about Virgil that I had to adapt to.
Virgil’s sense of humor is raw, playful and serious at the same time. If I stop for one minute, he’ll tell me, ‘It takes one second to get knocked out.He teaches with passion, direction and remains focused on the task at hand, really wanting you to instill how important things are, psychologically.
How beneficial is the atmosphere in Virgil’s gym?
There is a positive aura in the gym, which is a winning environment. When you walk into that gym, it’s time to work. Virgil lets you know that simply by staring at you. You have Andre Ward’s posters all around you, other fightersposters around you. There are a lot of fightersfaces up on those gym walls, including Andre Berto’s.
I’m definitely inspired because the atmosphere has everything to offer as far as training. You have the mountains, the beaches. וכמובן, ultimately, you have Virgil, who has flair about him and a way to generate that fire within you and bring it out of you. The most important thing with Virgil is listening.
What counsel have you received from Ward?
Andre’s never really showed any hesitation about offering advice and has always been there to give it to me, no problem at all. Andre has always been cordial and honest about wanting to see me hold that championship belt. I believe that he’ll see that this year.
But I can imagine that now that he’s out of the game, he can do it more freely. I recently had a 45-minute conversation over the phone with him about Jesus Christ, אבל, face-to-face, we’ve spoken quite often. He came down for a few of my sparring sessions and he’ll be coming to a few more.
We’ve always talked and had a good time, and he’s been quite an inspiration, aside from being a boxer. Andre has a confidence about himself in and out of the ring, so he’s one of the top guys in my life as a motivator for life outside of and beyond boxing.
Has Virgil broken down the Uzecategui fight?
Virgil has watched the fight several times, and I’ve watched the fight several times. We both agreed that the mistakes were definitely all mine and both agree that I didn’t use my ring generalship.
Even with the flaws that I was committing, I still found my groove. I heard myself saying that I had gotten his timing down and was taking over leading up to the end of the fight.
Uzecategui is a fighter, but that’s ithe’s no boxer. He has great punching ability but not great skills and he’s not fast, so I expect him to attack me like the first fight. He knows how to put a one-two-three together, and he’s hungry.
As far as boxing goes, I’ll have to teach him a thing or two about how this game is really played. There’s no question I made the first fight harder than it had to be. I look at that first fight with so much confidence.
I know that I fought it incorrectly, but I was still coming back. He won the first, second and possibly third and fourth rounds, but I was coming back. So this time, I plan on frustrating this boy so much that he’ll be completely off of his game.

The hotly contested first match between Dirrell and Uzcategui, which was also for the IBF interim world title, ended in controversy after Uzcategui was disqualified for landing a punch after the bell sounded to end the eighth round. Dirrell was dropped and knocked out by the punch. The referee ruled that the punch was intentional and disqualified Uzcategui. In the IBF mandated rematch, Dirrell and Uzcategui will look to put themselves in position to fight for the super middleweight title that Caleb Truax recently earned via a majority decision over James DeGale.

The 34-year-old southpaw from Flint, Michigan lost a split decision to Carl Froch in his first attempt in 2009 and dropped a narrow unanimous decision to DeGale in his next attempt in 2015.
I’m extremely excited to be a part of one of the most dynamic tripleheaders this year,” Dirrell said. “This time around I’ll be phenomenal and leave no doubt who the better fighter is. אני 100 percent focused on dominating Uzcategui on March 3 and getting another shot at the title.
The 27-year-old Uzcategui (26-2, 22 קוס), who is from Venezuela and now lives in Tijuana, מקסיקו, worked his way up to the match against Dirrell with a string of four straight stoppage victories, including a stunning upset of Julian Jackson in 2015. Uzcategui dropped Jackson four times on the way to a second round technical knockout victory.
I’m very excited to go get what’s mine,” סעיד Uzcategui. “I feel I won the last fight. I didn’t feel I did anything wrong. What happened in the last fight is in the past. I’m going to get what belongs to me. The world will see what ‘Bolivitacan do and they’ll want to see more of me.

National Harbor (מאי 20) – From the MGM National Harborאדון.” גארי ראסל ג'וניור, (28-1, 17 קוס) had a successful homecoming in front of a nearly sold out crowd as he defended his WBC Featherweight World title with a seventh-round stoppage against the very tough, strong-willed Columbian אוסקר Escandon (25-3, 17 קוס) באירוע המרכזי של אליפות אגרוף Showtime.
ראסל ג 'וניור. took control of the action from the outset, peppering the shorter Escandon at will and dropping him in the third.
עם זאת, the brave Escandon fought his way back into the fight in the fourth and fifth stanzas, but Russell stormed into the seventh, battering the hurt Escandon and dropping him early, causing referee Harvey Dock to stop the fight at the 0:59 mark of the round (לחץ כאן to watch the TKO).
About the victory, ראסל ג 'וניור. אמר, “קודם כל, I want to say happy birthday to my father. Secondly, I’d like to tell all the fans that came to support me: I love you all. תודה לך.
I fought a tough competitor. I knew Escandon wanted to come and bring his best. I knew he was going to come forward. I was ready for him. We are warriors.
I want Lomachenko [הבא], that’s a no-brainer. I don’t want to do it for the fans or for the media, I want to do it for myself. And I want to do it twice. I’ll knock him out the first time and then, he’ll want me to fight him again.
I’d love to unify against all the other guys in the featherweight division. I’d like Leo Santa Cruz, לי סלבי, Oscar Valdez.
About the knockout loss, “I was getting my rhythm going and I felt like Gary was getting tired. I didn’t see him coming with the big punch he threw at the end and that was it. I went down and was hoping to get a 10 count, but the referee didn’t give it to me and he stopped the fight.
I knew that Gary was going to go fast from the first to the fifth round and it was part of my strategy to let him do that and get tired. It didn’t work unfortunately.
Now we need to go back to the drawing board to rest and see what my manager has planned for me.
Said trainer and father Gary Russell Sr., “I’m ecstatic. I’m really happy. I got three wins. Three stoppages. It’s my birthday. אני 15 minutes from home and I can go home and relax.
We prepared fully for Mr. Escandon. We knew he was going to do what he didcome forward. I don’t want to diminish or take anything away from Mr. Escandon. He really is a hard, rough fighter. Throughout the course of the fight, I instructed Gary to hit him with some good shots. Some hard shots. It is a brutal sport.
Co-featured on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in a 12-round clash for the IBF Interim Super Middleweight Title, אבן צור, Michigan’s אנדרה Dirrell, (26-2, 16 קוס), was declared the winner after round eight as ז'וזה Uzcategui, (26-2, 22 קוס) של מרידה, ונצואלה, was disqualified for a punch after the bell sounded to end the eighth round.
Uzcategui started fast, battering Dirrell from the opening round, cutting off the ring and slamming away with body and head shot through the first three rounds. Dirrell saw success starting in the fourth round, countering Uzcategui and scoring
גם.
Over the next four rounds, the contenders traded even as the fight became more hotly contested. At the end of the eighth round, with Dirrell backed into a neutral corner, Uzcategui let loose with a three-punch combination, the last left hand hitting the southpaw after the bell as he fell to the combination.
Following a delay to allow medical personnel to attend to Dirrell, referee Bill Clancy declared that Uzcategui was disqualified with Dirrell being declared the winner.
Said referee Bill Clancy about his decision, “The bell rang to stop the round. The round was over and Andre [Dirrell] was knocked out with an illegal punch. So therefore, Dirrell will win this fight by disqualification.
That’s a blatant foul. Earlier in the fight, I had warned Uzcategui. I warned him. Dirrell wins the fight, he was clearly unable to continue.
About the ending, Dirrell said, “All I remember was him [Uzcategui] throwing a shot at me at the same time the bell rang. After that everything was blurry. I remember a shot and then all went fuzzy.
I forgive Uzcategui. I forgive his camp. I don’t want to win a championship like this. I wanted to win fair and square. But I forgive him.
Following the decision, Dirrell’s trainer and uncle Leon Lawson punched Uzcategui in the corner, sparking a brief altercation in the ring that was quelled by MGM National Harbor security and local police.
I’m sorry for what my coach has done. My coach is my family, my uncle, and he was worried. He cares for me. He loves me. Please forgive him.
I’m going to stand up like a man. I didn’t win like I wanted to, but I’ll be back. I’m going to come back as soon as they let me.
Stated a very disappointed Uzcategui, “I felt very good. I was hurting him the entire fight. I felt like I could hurt him anytime I wanted. Nothing he hit me with hurt me.
I was throwing a three-punch combination and I didn’t hear the bell. I didn’t mean to hit him. The third punch wasn’t that hard of a punch. I was surprised he stayed down.
He did the same thing against Abraham that he did against me tonight. He quit against me and he quit against him. I deserve to be the winner.
The live televised fights in The Theater kicked-off with two-division world championRances ברתלמי (26-0, 13 קוס) winning a 12-round unanimous decision over valiant קיריל Relikh, (25-3, 16 קוס), of Baranovichi, Byelorussia. Scores in the WBA Super Lightweight eliminator were 116-110, 115-111 ו 117-109.
The opening two rounds of the fight featured excellent action with both fighters attempting to impose their will. In the third round Relikh suffered a low blow resulting in a two-minute delay, עם זאת, no point deduction was made by referee Kenny Chevalier. Following the low blow, the shorter Relikh became much more aggressive.
With the undefeated, blue-haired Barthelemy switching stances often in the fourth stanza, he was able to score at will against Relikh.
עם זאת, Relikh came out charging in the fifth, battering away against Barthelemy who was caught against the ropes and scoring a knockdown when the ropes held the Cuban up from a barrage of hard punches.
Recovering nicely in the sixth and seventh, Barthelemy badly hurt Relikh with a multitude of body shots from both hands.
In the eight round Barthelemy truly turned the tide for good in the ninth, drilling Relikh to the canvas with a blistering left hook to the body. Through the championship rounds it was all Barthelemy who finished strong against the game but outgunned Relikh.
Said the victorious Barthelemy, “It feels great to be going forward. The 11-month layoff really took a toll on my body and I felt it in the ring.
I knew it was a close fight but knew I should get a unanimous decision.
Relikh was a hard hitter. He surprised me with a right hook in the 5th round and I hit the canvas, so I knew I had to be careful going forward. I knew I had lost that round and had to come back stronger.
I took the sixth round to take a breather and then I came back to work the body. Once I knocked him down, I saw that he was hurt and protecting himself upstairs a lot more so I knew I was going to have to be more strategic to come out victorious.
Replied a very disappointed Relikh, “Of course I thought I won. Even TV thought I won. The referee did his job when he called it a knockdown in the fifth. I thought it was over.
The two low blows definitely affected me. It takes the wind out of you. This is boxing not MMA.
Hot super bantamweight prospect גארי ראסל אנטוניו השתפר ל 8-0 with six knockouts with a dominating performance and knockout stoppage of Puerto Rico’s Jovany Fuentes, (7-9, 6 קוס). Following knockdowns in the second and third stanzas, the bout was called to a halt at 0:22 סיבוב שלושה.
Making his pro debut, סופר קל גארי אנטואן ראסל, (1-0 1 KO) wasted no time dropping Joshua Ross, (2-4-4) of Monroe, LA to the canvas three times enroute to a stoppage victory at the 2:25 mark of the initial stanza.
Gervonta דייוויס went on the road in the first defense of his IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship and made a statement with an emphatic third-round TKO of previously undefeated local favorite Liam Walsh in the opening bout of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING from Copper Box Arena in London.
The southpaw Davis (18-0, 17 קוס) set the pace from the opening bell, connecting seemingly at will with a strong left hook. בסיבוב השלישי, America’s youngest world champion floored Walsh with a strong left after a series of brutal connecting combos on the inside. Walsh got up, but the onslaught continued seconds later and referee Michael Alexander stopped the championship bout at 2:11, with Walsh defenseless and on unsteady legs.
Tonight we were in the groove,” Davis said. “I think he was hurt pretty bad. The ref did his job and it was just a matter of time. I used my boxing IQ tonight and picked my shots, and when I picked my shots I got him out of there.
I’m still on the rise. I became a champion super-fast, but I’m still rising and there’s more to come.
Promoter Floyd Mayweather was ringside in London to support his fighter, who he’s christenedthe future of boxing.
וולש (21-1, 14 קוס), who entered the bout as the No. 1 challenger and the decided local favorite at Copper Box, was disappointed with the stoppage.
He’s very fast, very active, but that was too quick,” Walsh said. “He won fair and square, but sometimes they stop the fight too early. I never got an opportunity. I’m not saying the result would be different, but give me a chance.
I’d love to fight him again. I’d fight him for next to nothing.

לונדון (מאי 19, 2017) – America’s youngest world champion, Gervonta דייוויס, and undefeated No. 1 contender Liam Walsh both tipped the scale at the 130-pound limit during של יום שישי official weigh-in at the 133-year-old Theatre Royal Stratford East for יום שבת IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship on SHOWTIME.

ביום שבת at the sold-out Copper Box Arena in London, the 22-year-old “Tank” Davis (17-0, 16 קוס) will attempt to become the first American to successfully defend his title on British soil in nearly a decade.

The referee for Davis vs. Walsh is Michael Alexander, and the judges are Howard Foster (אנגליה), Robin Taylor (ארצות הברית) and Deon Dwarte (דרום אפריקה).

"אני מרגיש טוב,” Davis said. “I’m ready.”

After the weigh-in, Walsh downplayed the tense stare down and words exchanged during the faceoff.

"מחר we’ll lay hands on each other for real and the best man will come on top. I’m gonna win. I’m going to give every last ounce of what I’ve got.”

דייוויס vs. Walsh is part of a split-site, four-fight SHOWTME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins on יום שבת, מאי 20, ב 6 p.m. ו/3 p.m. PT. באירוע המרכזי, גארי ראסל ג'וניור. will make his second featherweight title defense and long-awaited homecoming against mandatory challenger Oscar Escandon live from MGM National Harbor just outside of Washington, D.C.

הנה מה שהיו לי המשתתפים לומר יום חמישי from MGM National Harbor:
גארי ראסל ג'וניור.
I never magnify an event, even though it’s at home. The end objective is still the same. But I think it’s cool that everyone in our neighborhood has the opportunity to be in the arena and see what we do.
“אני 100 percent physically and mentally ready for the challenge and I’m on top of everything I can be.
When you get caught up in the hype, it’s a deficiency in yourself. You have to be able to focus on the objective over everything else.
I believe in my ability but also the ability of my brothers. So I’m not nervous for them. I know what they’ve been taught. They conduct themselves like young men in and out of the ring.
I want a unification bout after this. I’m ready for any of the other world champions. We can line them all up in the same night if you want. If I can’t get those fights, I’m going to move up in weight and bully around these bigger guys.
I look at each fighter as their own individual. We don’t prepare the same way for every opponent. He’s a tough fighter who comes forward. He’s very physical and I expect him to be at his best ביום שבת. It’s up to me to counteract what he does.
“אני אוהב את הספורט הזה. אני אוהב את מה שאני עושה. I love being able to prepare for no one else, but the person across the ring and then dismantling him.
We worked on versatility most. We believe in the sweet science. A lot of these guys just win because they’re stronger and faster. We want to be more technically sound too.
OSCAR ESCANDON
This is a very important fight for my career. This is going to elevate me to where I want to be and give me the platform to do anything in the sport. I’m very well prepared for this.
I feel strong and healthy at 126-pounds. I’m focused on this fight יום שבת לילה. I’ll fight anyone but right now I have to get past Gary Russell Jr.
In my last fight I was the underdog. People counted me out. Same thing applies here. I’ve done the work and I’m confident that I’m going to win.
I didn’t have complete training camps with my past trainers, but now I’m with Ruben Guerrero. I’m learning so much. You can look at me in my previous fights and you’ll see a vast improvement now.
I want that green (WBC) belt a lot. Green is my favorite color. I want to be the best and to me, winning that title signifies that I am the best. To do that I have to beat the best, and that is Gary Russell Jr.
I don’t like to talk much but I will say that I’m coming to bring this world title back to Colombia. I respect Gary but my mindset is that I’m taking this title home.
ANDRE DIRRELL
It’s been a long hard journey for me. But I’ve always managed to climb back on top. The hard work that I’ve put in will make יום שבת night easy work.
My opponent is a fantastic fighter. If anyone should be in line for a title it’s this guy. He has the the power and he has the skill. I just believe he’s up against a better and tougher opponent.
I’m going to get in the ring and display all of my abilities. I’m very confident and ready. It’s time for Andre to get on top and stay on top.
I’ve been out of the ring for a while but most importantly, I’ve stayed in the gym in training the whole time. I’ve kept positive mentally as well. Everything is going upward right now and I’m going to take advantage.
Uzcategui has everything a world champion needs to get to that title, but he’s facing a more skilled competitor on מאי 20. He’s deserving of the opportunity and that’s why I trained so hard for this fight.
The title means the world to me. We fight for the titles first. We’re all coming from the amateurs where we got trophies. My love will always be here with the sport until the day I retire.
חוזה UZCATEGUI
You won’t want to miss any of these fights ביום שבת לילה. It’s a great card and I’m planning to steal the show.
I like when my opponent talks a lot. None of the stuff my opponent says can help him in the ring. It’s just me, him and our fists.
It’s a lot of responsibility to be the top contender for the belt. I have to make it clear that we deserve this so that I can move on to bigger and better things.
People are going to get to see my power on display יום שבת לילה, but also my other skills. I can do it all in the ring and I’m going to prove it.
After this I want to take on James DeGale and Gilberto Ramirez. I’m coming to clean out this whole division and be undisputed. It starts ביום שבת.”
RANCES רתלמי
I’m living a dream right now that I myself never in a million years imagined. Every time I get to speak with my mother in Cuba, I tell her of this dream that I am currently living and how it is still surreal to me. To be able to fight on these big cards in the U.S. after the long journey, after all the setbacks, I could not be any more grateful.
Being a world champion in two different weight divisions is something still unreal to me after people doubted whether I would even become a world champion one day. But this journey does not stop here for me. I have the urge to keep on going, make history for my people, and fight the big names in boxing.
Everyone in my team supports and motivates each other because we know we as Cubans have to work twice as hard as everybody else. There is an unfair representation of Cuban boxers among the press and fans here in America. We are misconstrued as being boring fighters therefore we are determined to erase that stigma and prove to everyone that we can brawl and put on a good show just as much as we can box.
I have been working on some new and different things to add to my arsenal this training camp. My whole team has been incredible and pushed me every day.
“אל תחמיץ את הקרב ביום שבת לילה. It’s going to be eventful and exciting. I’m coming to get a spectacular win.
KIRYL RELIKH
I’m very happy to be here and be a part of this great show. I will do my best to give a great fight ביום שבת.
Camp was perfect. I have a great team and I’m ready for anything. We worked hard and it’s going to be a great performance.
I’m ready for any style that that Rances Barthelemy can bring into the ring. We thought that we got the win in Scotland against Ricky Burns, but it is very hard to win on points on the road.
I always fight in different countries so this is just another one on my list. It’s normal for me. I’m very ready for the challenge and I’m expecting a great fight.
I hope that people like my style. I’m going to entertain the fans and get a victory over Rances Barthelemy ביום שבת הלילה.”
GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL
I get to pick up right where I left off after the Olympics. I’m fighting on the same night with my brothers for the first time in so long. It was one of my first amateur fights when we last did it.
“אני מרגיש ממש טוב. We’re making a statement and we’re making history. What’s not to be excited about?
Mentally and emotionally the Olympics really helped me for the pros. You have to develop over time. We’re constantly training and sharpening our tools. This is a different stage, זה הכל.
I hope everyone is ready for יום שבת לילה. There were some mishaps at the Olympics. Life is going to throw you bumps to get over, וזה מה שאני הולך לעשות. Everyone better keep their eyes open יום שבת, because it might be quick.
GARY אנטוניו RUSSELL
I’m really excited about this fight and competing alongside my brothers. It feels good to come home and fight. My family and friends will be in the building.
I can’t wait to get in the ring and show what we’ve been working so hard on. All the hours in the gym with my dad and brothers is going to pay off on fight night.
I’ve seen some video of my opponent. I know his weaknesses and strengths. We’re going to come exploit it on fight night.
SR גארי ראסל., Father and Trainer of the Russells
We work hard in the gym. Everybody has a plan until they get hit. We know that he’s going to bring pressure and we’ll be ready for it.
I’m really happy about this opportunity. We can get it all done in one night and put on a great show for everyone.
I’m definitely in fight mode. There are no extra nerves at all. I just want to get this done and get it done right.
I can’t really put Escandon in the same category with the top guys we’ve faced. He’s a short fighter. Most people in these weight classes are taller than Gary. At that size, the only way you can fight is straight forward. He’s not going to out box us.
ראובן גררו, Escandon’s Trainer
We’re ready over here. We’re going to do what it takes. אנחנו יודעים מה אנחנו צריכים להילחם. He’s one of the best. We’ll prove who is the best ביום שבת. This is going to come down to a war. Gary knows what he’s going against.
I helped Escandon set up a camp in Las Vegas for this fight because this was a huge opportunity. We were up in the mountains and that’s where I wanted him. He’s going to be great on fight night. He’ll be ready to go. It’s not easy to train in Vegas.
“אנחנו באים לנצח. We can’t control the judges but we know they’re fair. We’re expecting a fair shake. We’re going to control what we can.

לונדון (מאי 18, 2017) – IBF Junior Lightweight World Champion Gervonta Davis, לא בלתי מנוצח. 1 contender Liam Walsh and promoter Floyd Mayweather got into a jarring session during יום חמישי final press conference at Landmark Hotel in London just two days before יום שבת world title clash on SHOWTIME from Copper Box Arena.

 

Baltimore’s “Tank” Davis, America’s youngest world champion, will attempt to become the first American to successfully defend his title on British soil in nearly a decade*, while Walsh (21-0, 14 קוס) aims to dethrone the man that Mayweather has christened the “future of boxing.” (*הערה: Paulie Malignaggi vs. Lovemore Ndou in 2008)

 

דייוויס vs. Walsh is part of a split-site, four-fight SHOWTME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins on Saturday, מאי 20, ב 6 p.m. ו/3 p.m. PT. באירוע המרכזי, גארי ראסל ג'וניור. will make his second featherweight title defense and long-awaited homecoming against mandatory challenger Oscar Escandon live from MGM National Harbor just outside of Washington, D.C.

 

The 22-year-old Davis, who has won by knockout in 16 שלו 17 קרבות מקצועיים, will make the first defense of the IBF belt to won via KO over previously unbeaten Jose Pedraza in January. The 30-year-old Walsh has won by knockout in three of his last four bouts and will be a decided local favorite at an expected sold-out Copper Box Arena.

 

The pound-for-pound great turned promoter Mayweather and Walsh’s two brothers, fellow professional fighters Michael and Ryan, led the jarring during יום חמישי festivities with Mayweather claiming “I’m 40 years old and I’ll kick all three of your asses in the same night.”

 

Team Walsh was “not intimidated one little bit” by Mayweather or Tank, while the southpaw Davis promised “ביום שבת night you’ll be on your ass. And then your brothers can get in next.”

 

Below are highlights of what the participants had to say ביום חמישי:

 

GERVONTA DAVIS:

“I’m just on a whole different level. I do know they built you good, but you’ve been dropped before. They’ve been protecting you from the power, so I know you have no chin. ביום שבתnight you’ll be on your ass. And then your brothers can get in next.

 

“Please don’t run יום שבת לילה.

 

“I’ve just been trying to stay level-headed. Getting that belt brings me that much closer to what I want to do – to take over the sport of boxing. With the performance I put ביום שבת night it will bring me a step closer to being the star of boxing and follow after Floyd Mayweather.

 

“Having Floyd in my corner gives me a lot of confidence. Floyd has been pretty hands on with me, he’s been getting up and training and running with me. He was my hero in the sport of boxing coming up so to just have him in my corner now is amazing.

 

“I won the belt and now my focus is to take over the sport.

 

“Growing up in Baltimore, it has a high crime rate. It’s been tough. Where I’m from the gym is in the hood. If it wasn’t for the gym I’d either be in jail or dead. That’s not what I want to be. Boxing saved my life.”

 

LIAM WALSH:

“I’m always confident. As I’ve said many times, his performance against Pedraza was very good. I applaud him. Tank is the best fighter I’ve come up against in my career so far, but I’m also the best fighter he’s going to come against in his career so far. So it makes for a great fight.

 

“He’s physically very good. He’s very fast, very powerful. He’s a good puncher and performed beyond his years against Pedraza. You can’t knock his performance whatsoever, but there’s still a lot of questions that he has to answer.

 

“The southpaw stance doesn’t affect me too much. I can switch between the two. I’m comfortable in both stances so that doesn’t bother me.

 

“I don’t think I can put it into words what it would mean to win the title. It’s been a dream of mine since I was a little child. The feeling, the emotion, I can’t put it into words. This is the biggest night of my life.

 

“There are definitely flaws in his game and they’re there for me to exploit. I plan to take advantage of his mistakes. כשהייתי 22, there were definitely mistakes I made that I wouldn’t make now. So maybe it’s the perfect time to fight him.

 

“I’m not intimidated one little bit. Not by Floyd, not by Tank, not by anyone.

 

“I predict I will win the fight. I wouldn’t be shocked if I won by knockout, I wouldn’t be shocked if I won on points. You won’t see me celebrating like a mad man if I knock out Tank because I know I’m capable of it.”

 

פלויד Mayweather:

“It’s not just one performance. It takes more than just one performance. We truly believe that he can be a great fighter, but he came in his last fight with only 16 fights and beat the champion. We know he’s not going to lay down. This kid has dynamite in both hands. If he keeps going out there beating great fighters he cannot be denied.

 

“When its lights, מצלמה, action and the bell rings, 17 times he came out victorious and 16 בדרך של (נוקאאוט).

 

“His team does a remarkable job, but it’s my job as a friend and a father figure to tell him to come to Vegas to get him the best work. We wanted him to have different looks. We want guys that were going to push him, give him different styles.

 

“This kid, he busts his ass day in and day out. We’re going to continue to go out there and do what we do.

 

“I already conquered your country once (with Ricky Hatton) and now we’re going to conquer it again ביום שבת.

 

“I don’t miss being in the gym at all. If I can push this fighter to surpass me and break every record, that’s a goal of mine. That’s what we’re here to do. רשומות עשויים להיות שבור.

 

“I remember when I met Tank on the Canelo (אלוורז) press tour and he asked to take a photo with me. When I took a photo with him I said, ‘there’s something about that kid that looks special.’

 

“He came to my gym and put in some real good work and I reached out to him and said, ‘whatever it takes to work with you and get you to the next level, let’s make it happen.’ I told him, ‘if you listen to me and continue to work hard I truly believe you can be world champion within 24 חודשים.’ And that’s just one stepping stone. As of right now he’s one of the only fighters in boxing facing back-to-back undefeated fighters.

 

“Frank Warren, ליאם וולש, we just want to commend you guys for stepping up to the plate and making this fight happen and giving the fans what they want to see. The fans want to see blood, יזע ודמעות.

 

“Tank is always in tremendous fights, he’s a big knockout artist. I truly believe in my man, and I want to work with him until the end of his career.”
