紐約 - 一月 23, 2016 - WBA Welterweight World Champion Keith “One Time” Thurman will defend his title against former champ “Showtime” Shawn Porter in a blockbuster matchup of two of the world’s best 147-pound fighters on 星期六, 三月 12 上 SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on CBS.
The welterweight showdown will air live on CBS at 8:30 P.M. AND / 5:30 P.M. PT from Mohegan Sun Casino Resort in Uncasville, 康涅狄格. 本次活動, promoted by DiBella Entertainment, is produced by SHOWTIME Sports® for the CBS Television Network, both divisions of the CBS Corporation. The last primetime boxing event on CBS was Muhammad Ali-Leon Spinks on Feb. 15, 1978.
瑟曼 (26-0, 22 科斯), 克利爾沃特, 佛羅里達州。, and Porter (26-1-1, 16 科斯), of Las Vegas by way of Akron, 俄亥俄, are both coming off superb 2015 campaigns that solidified the fresh faces among the elite of arguably boxing’s most exciting division. With perennial pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather now retired, the 27-year-old Thurman and the 28-year-old Porter are hungry to stake their claim as the future of boxing.
“Thurman vs. Porter is a marquee matchup of two elite boxers in the prime of their careers, and the winner will establish himself as arguably the No. 1 fighter in boxing’s glamour division,“斯蒂芬·埃斯皮諾薩說, 執行副總裁兼總經理, SHOWTIME體育. “Fights of this caliber don’t come along very often, 當他們這樣做, they deserve to be on the biggest stage possible. That’s why all of us at SHOWTIME and CBS are so excited to be able to deliver this pivotal matchup to a primetime audience on America’s highest-rated network.”
“Last year was an amazing year for me: I headlined the very first Premier Boxing Champions show and was named PBC Fighter of the Year,” Thurman said. “But this is my year to dominate the welterweight division and I’m excited to be getting ready to take out Shawn Porter. I am ready to get back in the ring and bring boxing fans what they’ve been looking for – the top true welterweight champion of the world, the one who is going to take out all competitors one by one. I am Keith ‘One-Time’ Thurman and I’m going to show you what a champion looks like on 三月 12.”
“I’m very confident in my ability. That’s why I’ve been looking forward to this fight because I’m someone who can beat Keith Thurman,” Porter said. “Nothing about Keith really makes me nervous. I do know that he’s going to be ready for this fight. He’s a fighter that has the heart of a lion just like I do. I expect this to be a fight to the finish. A win over Keith Thurman is what we’ve been waiting for.”
“Keith Thurman against Shawn Porter is one of the best matchups that can be made in the welterweight division right now and I am thrilled that it is taking place at Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Conn.,” 說婁DiBella, DiBella娛樂總裁. “The hard-punching world titleholder Thurman and the highly skilled former champion Porter will have the opportunity to prove that they are the next heir to the throne in the post-Mayweather era of the 147 磅重的部門。”
“One Time” Thurman, who owns a better than 80 percent KO ratio and knocked out 18 他第一 20 對手, is considered one of the most avoided fighters in boxing. After unsuccessfully lobbying to fight the best of the division for the past two years, Thurman finally had a breakout 2015.
The hard-hitting Florida native floored former champion and long-time contender Robert Guerrero en route to a convincing 12日 round unanimous last March in Las Vegas. He then dominated and bloodied former champ Luis Collazo on 七月 11, winning via seventh round TKO. Thurman won the Interim WBA belt with a knockout of Diego Chaves in 2013 and scored consecutive knockouts over Jesus Soto Karass (2013) and Julio Diaz (2014) in his first and second title defenses.
Against Porter, Thurman will now get a chance to prove what he’s been claiming for years – that he’s the world’s best welterweight – in the toughest test of his career.
“Showtime” Porter has built one of the most impressive resumes in the division since making his welterweight debut in 2010. 穿, who surprisingly turned professional as a super middleweight (168 英鎊), won the IBF crown in 2013 with an impressive unanimous decision over Devon Alexander.
The physically-gifted and offensive-minded Ohio native knocked out former two-division world champion Paulie Malignaggi with a brutal clean right hand in April of 2014 in the lone defense of his title. Porter lost the IBF belt less than four months after the Malignaggi victory in a close majority decision defeat to undefeated British superstar Kell Brook, but he bounced back with a fifth-round knockout of Erick Bone in March of 2015. Porter scored what many considered an upset victory in his next bout over then three-division world champion Adrien Broner with a clear unanimous decision last 六月 20 在拉斯維加斯.
The aggressive, come-forward Porter has built his career as a perennial underdog who relishes in the role. 但, with the resume he has built, it’s hard to consider him an underdog anymore heading into this crossroads showdown with Thurman.

有許多優點和缺點有 “魔術師” 作為你的父親, 尤其是當他還是一個活躍, 世界一流的戰鬥機. “我是我自己的男人,” 塔弗解釋JR. 誰是籃球學院的球員,直到他證明了他的父親,他是完全致力於拳擊. “他更計算; 我更快,因為我是一個超次中量級,他是一個重量級的. 他是一個防守天才,我正在努力,每天來提高我的防守. 我不把任何壓力,我作為他的兒子. 他總是告訴我要實現我的夢想, 我得努力工作, 胸圍我的屁股, 把它全部變成我的技能和工藝品.
“我只有 10 在我的整個職業生涯的戰鬥 (2 專業的, 8 業餘) 我試圖追趕與其他人誰在環更體驗. 但是,我有我的父親從他所有的經驗和一個偉大的教練在奧蘭多談話在我耳邊與建議. 人們會看到我的頭兩個打架很大的差異. 我準備好這場鬥爭!”
安東尼奧的父親是興奮,他兒子的第三個專業的鬥爭. “這是一個令人難以置信的感覺,我兒子的轉變下面進入他想成為戰鬥機,” 他承認. “沒有人比初中更努力工作. 他敬業, 突出重點,所有這一切給了我一個真正的輕鬆感覺. 我要做的就是跟他說話,以幫助他精神. 我不能為他戰鬥, 但我可以指導他, 希望他採取了正確的步伐. 他擁有一切去為他 – 天賦和他的頭直上. 我從來不擔心他惹上麻煩. 他是一個不同的品種戰鬥機, 我最大的成就作為一個男人, 而我在這個遊戲真的很興奮自己的未來.
“他是基思·瑟曼的,他鬥爭的主要陪練夥伴,並沒有從他們的陪練會議嗡嗡聲. 基思是最熱門的年輕戰士在世界上和少年給了他一切,他可以處理. 我告訴少年所有的時間陪練是不一樣的戰鬥. 散打不會讓你支付或錦標賽. 少年知道,在戰鬥中他做什麼,他辛辛苦苦在健身房. 他從基思陪練吸取的經驗教訓作出少年更加自信。” JR塔弗. 一直被教導在坦帕由同一教練, 86-歲 吉米·威廉姆斯, 誰也訓練塔弗鍶. 當他是 12.
“每場戰鬥是一個挑戰和考驗安東尼奧的作品他的方式了拳擊的階梯,” 奎利亞爾評論. “隨著他的業餘有限的經驗, 安東尼不得不在工作中學習, 臨時抱佛腳為將呈現的精神和身體的挑戰. 他的激情和熱忱一致的基礎上. 安東尼似乎擁有所有的工具,使一個良好的運行. 我們將他的等級七月 11日 性能並從那裡走。”
彷彿JR塔弗. 需要任何額外的啟示, 他只是作為一個父親,是第一次今年九月. “到期日為我的小男孩 九月 17,” 他加了. “這也更加激勵了我。”
這也意味著,46歲的塔弗, SR. 今年將在以後的戰鬥為爺爺, 在他的追求,成為拳擊歷史上最古老的世界重量級冠軍.
“我很高興,但少年成為了爺爺沒有讓我覺得自己老了,” 塔弗鍶. 總結. “他是一個不同的貓. 我阻止他使我犯的錯誤. 他已經解決了五年的女友和他們現在有一個嬰兒. 我不能快樂. 這對我來說是一個偉大的時刻. 什麼時候 我決定要退役, 我將手中的火炬向他, 依然火爆, 讓我們看多遠,他跑與它.”
