LOS ANGELES (Dezembro 5, 2021) - Superstar do boxe e pentacampeão mundial Gervonta “Tank” Davis colocar suas habilidades de boxe em exibição, vencendo uma decisão unânime de 12 rodadas empolgantes sobre os implacáveis Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz para reter seu título mundial de peso leve WBA na frente de um craque de estrelas, multidão esgotada de 15,850 no STAPLES Center ao vivo no SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View, em um evento apresentado pela Premier Boxing Champions.

scorecards ler 116-112 e duas dezenas de 115-113, tudo por Davis.

A atmosfera na arena estava eletrizante, com dezenas de estrelas atuais e ex-estrelas da NBA presentes, incluindo Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Kawhi Leonard, Dwight Howard, Kenny Smith, Kevin Garnett e Paul Pierce entre outros.

Acompanhado pelo rapper superstar Lil Durk, Davis entrou no ringue em Laker roxo e dourado; borlas ao longo de seus troncos com o número do falecido Kobe Bryant "8" e "24" em cada lado. Cruz celebrou sua herança mexicana com uma banda mariachi atrás dele enquanto caminhava em direção ao ringue.

Não houve nenhum processo de sondagem no primeiro. Cruz atacou o atual campeão, prendendo-o contra as cordas e gemendo.

“Esse é o meu estilo. ‘Pitbull’ sempre estará no ataque,", Disse Cruz. “Acho que mantivemos o ritmo do início ao fim.”

Davis encontrou seu ritmo no segundo e terceiro, circulando o ringue e levando Cruz para os tiros. No quarto, Cruz concentrou seu ataque no corpo, batendo nas costelas de Davis.

O nativo de Baltimore, de 27 anos, ligou a energia no quarto, alternando entre o gancho de direita e cruz de esquerda atrás de sua postura canhoto. Mais golpes de punição vieram de Davis durante o quinto.

“Ele é um lutador mais baixo, então eu estava jogando no topo de sua cabeça,"Disse Davis. "Eu bati nele com meu dedo e baguncei tudo. Eu machuquei minha mão na sexta rodada. Não importa se o oponente é mais alto ou mais baixo, Eu tenho que passar por isso. Ele é um guerreiro. Mesmo que ele não tenha ganhado, uma estrela nasceu esta noite. ”

“Foi por volta da quinta rodada que vi que sua mão não estava funcionando corretamente,”Cruz observou.

Davis encaixotou lindamente nas rodadas intermediárias, disparando tiros rápidos e girando para longe do fogo de retorno. Um gancho de direita na oitava atingiu Cruz brevemente e trouxe o público a seus pés. Mas apenas quando parecia que a luta estava escapando, Cruz combateu fogo com fogo, pousando um uppercut flush segundos antes do sino.

O mexicano de 23 anos acelerou o ritmo nas últimas rodadas, mantendo Davis na ponta dos pés e batendo forte. Davis se segurou, lutando de forma equilibrada até o fim da luta.

Naturalmente, Cruz acreditava que merecia a vitória.

"Viva México. não tenho nada a dizer, os fãs estão falando sobre quem ganhou essa luta,"Ele disse.

Após uma defesa de título bem-sucedida, Davis disse que está pronto para todos os visitantes.

“L.A., nós fizemos isso por Kobe,"Disse Davis. “No começo da luta, ele veio forte. Eu senti como a luta estava indo, ele estava quebrando. Mas eu machuquei minha mão, então eu não fui capaz de tirá-lo de lá.

“Qualquer que seja a melhor oportunidade para mim, Eu vou fazer isso. Todos eles são trabalhos fáceis. Eu sou o chefe. ”

No co-main event, Sebastian “Towering Inferno” Fundora chegou mais perto de uma chance pelo título mundial com uma decisão unânime de 12 rodadas sobre o invicto Sergio Garcia em um eliminador de título WBC Super Welterweight.

Pontuações finais lidas 118-110, 117-111 e 115-113.

Fundora estabeleceu o controle rapidamente no primeiro, jogando a cabeça de Garcia da Espanha para trás com uma esquerda forte. Os dois negociaram uniformemente nas primeiras rodadas. Garcia teve seus momentos, incluindo um golpe direto à direita na quinta que tirou sangue do nariz de Fundora.

Fundora, de 23 anos, encontrou seu alcance no sexto, bombeando o jab e usando seu quadro de 1,8 m e alcance de 80 polegadas para manter Garcia longe.

“Eu estava usando muito mais minha distância. Eu queria mostrar algo diferente do que estou acostumado,”Disse Fundora. “A altura foi definitivamente uma diferença nesta luta.”

Garcia lutou para pousar durante a segunda metade da luta, salve por alguns momentos no 12th quando os dois combatentes ficaram frente a frente.

“Talvez as coisas pudessem ter sido diferentes se eu tivesse sido mais agressivo desde o início,”Disse Garcia. “Eu não deveria ter me deixado levar pelo que ele estava fazendo.”

Fundora acredita que está pronto para uma chance pelo título mundial.

“Acabamos de vencer o Não. 2 no WBC, então nós temos o nº 1, e nós temos o campeão,”Disse Fundora. “Quem quer que eles nos dêem a seguir, estamos prontos para. ”

Em um empolgante vaivém, Carlos Adames (21-1, 16 KOs) superou um duro desafio do ex-desafiante ao título mundial Sergiy Derevyanchenko (13-4, 10 KOs) para ganhar uma decisão por maioria de 10 rodadas em seu eliminador do título mundial WBC Middleweight.

Ambos os combatentes tiveram seus momentos, mas enfrentando o adversário mais difícil de sua carreira, o Adames de 27 anos brilhou. Um juiz marcou a luta dos médios mesmo em 95-95, enquanto os outros dois marcaram para Adames por dezenas de 96-94 e 97-93.

“Isso significa muito para mim na minha carreira e é uma grande conquista vencer um lutador do calibre dele,”Disse Adames, que nasceu na República Dominicana e luta em Washington Heights, na cidade de Nova York.

“Eu sou agressivo e rápido por natureza, então eu vim pronto para fazer minhas coisas. Ele começou lento, querendo ver o que aconteceria, e simplesmente tinha o plano de jogo errado. Ele ficou um pouco cansado enquanto a luta continuava, levou muitos tiros fortes de mim e era evidente que eu causei muitos danos. ”

“Espero que meu adversário lute no mesmo estilo. Não foi nada especial para mim, apenas uma luta de qualidade,"Disse Derevyanchenko.

“Ele ficou canhoto, essa foi a diferença na luta. Eu não sei o que vou fazer a seguir. Preciso descansar um pouco e depois vou voltar para a academia porque adoro boxe e adoro o show ”.

“Isso me dá a oportunidade de seguir em frente,”Disse Adames. “Eu domino em ambos 154 e 160, então, onde quer que eles me dêem a oportunidade de lutar por um campeonato, é onde eu irei. ”

Na luta de abertura da transmissão da SHOWTIME PPV, contendor superpluma Eduardo “Zurdito” Ramirez (26-2-3, 12 KOs) estava em sua melhor forma, vencendo uma decisão unânime de 10 rodadas sobre o ex-desafiante ao título mundial Miguel Marriaga.

“Gostaria de agradecer aos fãs, SHOWTIME e a família Montiel por me apoiarem. Marriaga foi um adversário difícil, mas consegui dominar,”Disse Ramirez. “Eu tinha um estilo de luta variado e o mantive alerta o tempo todo.”

Marriaga (30-5, 26 KOs) foi o agressor durante todo, particularmente na primeira rodada, quando ele apoiou Ramirez com uma combinação de socos. Este último encontrou seu alcance no meio do quadro, utilizando um jab preciso. No terceiro, um gancho de direita seguido por um overhand esquerdo com chão desequilibrado Marriaga para um knockdown flash.
“Começamos fortes, mas então as coisas ficaram cada vez mais difíceis. Tendo dito isto, estamos satisfeitos com o trabalho que realizamos hoje,”Disse Marriaga. “Deveríamos ter sido mais experientes, mas tentamos ao máximo diante de uma grande oportunidade da qual infelizmente não pudemos aproveitar. ”

Ramirez dominou após marcar o knockdown, punindo Marriaga a partir de então com uma variedade de tiros na cabeça e no corpo. Estatísticas de socos finais fizeram Ramirez pousar 280 de 762 (36.7%) socos totais para Marriaga 159 de 689 (21.3%).

“Agora vou relaxar com minha família e aproveitar as férias,”Disse Ramirez. “Então, esperançosamente 2022 virá com uma chance pelo título para mim.”

O evento pay-per-view blockbuster de hoje à noite será exibido novamente no SHOWTIME neste sábado, Dezembro 11 em 10 p.m. ET / PT. A transmissão atrasada de Davis vs. Cruz vai abrir a transmissão com WBC Bantamweight Campeão Mundial e futuro Hall of Famer Nonito Donaire enquanto ele vai defender seu título contra o invicto contendor e compatriota filipino Reymart Gaballo como atração principal em um evento Premier Boxing Champions do Dignity Health Tennis Stadium em Carson.

O locutor esportivo veterano Brian Custer apresentou o programa SHOWTIME PPV, enquanto a versátil voz de esportes de combate Mauro Ranallo lidava com a ação golpe a golpe ao lado do analista do Hall da Fama Al Bernstein e do campeão mundial de três divisões Abner Mares. Três membros do Hall of Fame completaram a equipe de transmissão da SHOWTIME - repórter vencedor do prêmio Emmy® Jim Gray, artilheiro não oficial Steve Farhood, e o locutor mundialmente conhecido Jimmy Lennon Jr. O produtor executivo foi David Dinkins, quatro vezes vencedor do prêmio Emmy®, Jr. A transmissão foi dirigida por Bob Dunphy. O ex-campeão mundial júnior dos médios Raúl “El Diamante” Marquez e o locutor esportivo Alejandro Luna atuaram como analistas especialistas em espanhol em programação secundária de áudio (SAP).

Gervonta Davis to Defend WBA Lightweight World Title Against Hard-Hitting Isaac Cruz – Domingo, Dezembro 5

Unbeaten Five-Time World Champion Gervonta Davis to Defend WBA Lightweight World Title Against Hard-Hitting Isaac Cruz on Sunday, Dezembro 5 on SHOWTIME PPV®

Cruz Replaces Rolando Romero in Main Event at

STAPLES Center in Los Angeles

Bilhetes já à venda!

LOS ANGELES (Novembro 3, 2021) – Unbeaten five-time world champion and boxing’s hottest attractionGervonta “Tank” Davis will defend his WBA Lightweight Championship against hard-hittingIsaac “Pitbull’’ Cruz no domingo, Dezembro 5 live on SHOWTIME PPV from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Cruz, Não classificados. 2 na IBF, steps in to replace Rolando Romero.

Os ingressos para o evento ao vivo, que é promovido pela Mayweather Promotions, Promoções GTD e Promoções TGB, já estão à venda e podem ser comprados emAXS.com.

Davis’ third-straight pay-per-view headlining attraction will see him battle the hardnosed Cruz, who has rightly earned the nickname “Pitbull’’ during his professional career.

“This is going to be a tremendous fight on SHOWTIME PPV,”Disse Leonard Ellerbe, CEO de Promoções Mayweather. “Isaac Cruz was ready for this big opportunity and I expect him to come ready to deliver the fight of his life. Contudo, Gervonta Davis is a generational talent who’s only getting better. This fight is going to end in spectacular fashion on December 5.”

“Kudos to Isaac Cruz for stepping in as a replacement opponent in a high-pressure, pay per view fight against one of the brightest stars in boxing in Gervonta Davis,’’ said Tom Brown, Presidente da TGB Promoções. “Cruz presents a different, and some would argue a more difficult challenge to Tank Davis. Cruz won’t back down and he’ll bring the fight to Davis from the opening bell. We’ve all seen Gervonta’s blend of superb boxing skills and explosive power, and we know what he’s capable of. It will be the irresistible force versus the immovable object, which means fireworks at STAPLES Center and on SHOWTIME PPV on Sunday, December 5.’’

Davis (25-0, 24 KOs), star of the Mayweather Promotions stable, added another highlight filled performance in June, as he stopped previously unbeaten Mario Barrios to capture a 140-pound title and become a three-division world champion. The Baltimore-native captured his lightweight championship with a 12th-round knockout of former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa in December 2019.

“I respect Isaac Cruz for stepping up and taking the fight, but everyone knows what I do,"Disse Davis. “I come in looking for the knockout and that’s exactly what I’m going to do in this fight. I’m back in Los Angeles where the stars shine and I’m going to light it up against Isaac Cruz at STAPLES Center on December 5.’’

The 23-year-old Cruz (22-1-1, 15 KOs) will be looking to rough up Davis and make him work overtime if he wants to come away with the win. A native of Mexico City, Cruz 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 in 2021 by winning a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Matías Romero in March, and most recently defeating former champion Francisco Vargas by decision in June. Since making his U.S. estréia em dezembro 2019, the 23-year-old has gone unbeaten in his next four ring appearances, appearing on SHOWTIME three times in addition to beating Magdaleno on the Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz SHOWTIME PPV undercard.

“First I want to thank Gervonta Davis and his team for this opportunity – an opportunity I won’t let get past me,’’ Cruz said. “God willing I’ll be world champion on December 5. This fight is a very big motivation for me as a professional and as a personal goal. I’m sure after December 5 everyone in boxing will know the name Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz.’’

LOS ANGELES (Outubro 21, 2021) – Five-time world champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis e contundente, unbeaten lightweight contender Rolando "Rolly" Romero went face-to-face Thursday at a press conference to preview their showdown for Davis’ WBA Lightweight Championship headlining live on SHOWTIME PPV Sunday, Dezembro 5 at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Davis’ third-straight pay-per-view headlining attraction will see him battle his outspoken lightweight foe Romero, as the 26-year-old power-punchers put their unbeaten records on the line. The event will mark Davis’ return to Southern California after he knocked out Hugo Ruiz in the first round in front of a sold-out crowd in February 2019.

Os ingressos para o evento ao vivo, que é promovido pela Mayweather Promotions, Promoções GTD e Promoções TGB, já estão à venda e podem ser comprados em AXS.com.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from City View Terrace at STAPLES Center:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“I’m thankful to be here to give the fans another great fight. Isso é o que fazemos. ‘Rolly’ is just here to talk. He’s trying to talk his way into winning, but he’s scared. Eu estou chegando para lutar.

“They only talk about his power, mas este é o boxe. His skills are not up to par with mine. He can’t even talk about power, because everyone knows I’m bringing it. You can shoot bullets, but how are you going to defend yourself when the bullets are shot back?

“He’s been talking for a long time. He’s trying to sell a fight, but I’m going to show him that he’s a chump on December 5. I’m not here to talk, I’m here to fight. I don’t take this personally. Para mim, this isn’t beef, this is business.

“I was on a mission when I fought Jose Pedraza for the title. I didn’t do the trash talking. I went in there and proved that I’m a top guy. This guy is just here to talk. I’m going to do the talking in the ring on December 5.

“His trainer isn’t working on anything but power. They aren’t working on any skills. He hasn’t fought anybody like me and he’s going to see the difference.

“I’ve never once turned down any fight. I’m not scared of anybody. I’m going to fight everybody. I’ll fight a heavyweight. This is nothing to me. I’ve survived a lot of stuff.

“He’s supposed to come here and sell the fight. I’m supposed to win. I’d rather punish him for 12 rounds than knock him out quick. Part of me wants to humble him, but the most important thing to do is just go out there and get the job done.

“This fight is for the fans. The fans are winning December 5. Make sure you come out and support. I’m thankful to be in this position. It’s all about my team and those people who have put me in a great position.”

ROLANDO ROMERO

“Everyone’s going to see December 5, I’m going to knock Gervonta the f*** out. I hope you hear that.

“I’ve been calling ‘Tank’ out since 2017. We were supposed to spar in 2018 and he didn’t show up to the gym. He did that twice because he knew he was getting beat. Dezembro 5, you’re getting knocked out.

“This is just who I am. This is how I was born. I came into this sport at 17-years-old and I’ve made the most out of what I’ve done. Everybody come watch me knock him out on December 5.

“He’s got such a big head, it’s going to be hard to miss it. He gets touched up by every opponent he faces. Leo Santa Cruz was beating him up and Barrios was getting to him too.

“He wants to run out of the ring whenever he gets hit. It happens in sparring and in the amateurs. I was the one who had to force this fight, because I’ve seen for years that he’s a chump. He’s made a career out of beating up 126-pounders.

“He doesn’t know half the stuff that I’ve seen and been through. I’m here to knock him out in the ring. He’s arrogant and tries to act like he’s tough, but I’m knocking him out.

“Manny Pacquiao has an awkward style too, and look at everything he’s accomplished. Just because I fight differently, does that mean I don’t have skills? I have my own skills and they’ve gotten me this far.

“I’m not going into the ring angry, I’m just focused.”

Floyd Mayweather, Presidente de Promoções Mayweather

“These are two great fighters. And when I say great, I mean that every time they go out there, they produce. ‘Tank’ is a young kid from Baltimore who had a dream. He’s been through a lot. He fought his way to the top. You have to commend him for that. Não importa o que alguém diz, he earned his stripes.

“I believe ‘Tank’ is one of the best fighters in the world. ‘Rolly’ says he wants to fight the best. Come December 5, it’s going to be a hell of a fight.

“’Rolly’ is tough. He’ll fight anybody and that eagerness makes this an intriguing matchup. ‘Rolly’ just wants to prove he’s the best. He’s also a hell of a puncher. Every time we presented an opponent to him, he’s accepted every one of them.

“’Tank’ is doing record-breaking numbers. I always told him it would come in due time. I told him that the same way I sell out arenas, you’re going to do the same thing one day. He had patience and that’s what we’re doing.

“These guys are the future of boxing. I don’t see this fight going the distance. Two undefeated knockout artists. Two champions. Dezembro 5, I’ll see everyone there.”

CALVIN FORD, Davis’ Co-Trainer

“I hope you keep up this talking ‘Rolly.’ We’ll see who’s still going to be talking at the end of the night on December 5.

“Romero has an awkward style, but the beauty of having two coaches with ‘Tank,’ is that there’s nothing we aren’t ready for.

“Having Barry Hunter be a part of the camp has helped calm ‘Tank’ down in many ways. I think everyone will see the beauty of us working together in this fight.

“I don’t train ‘Tank’ for knockouts. I train him to go the distance. He can get you from round 1 para 12. So you better stay sharp.”

BARRY HUNTER, Davis’ Co-Trainer

“Everyone knows what we’re coming to do. I have mad respect for the other side. Bring your A-game, because we’re definitely going to bring ours.

“We’re born for stuff like this right here. Like everyone said, there’s no way this fight goes the distance.

“Everybody is working hard to be at their best, because we don’t want any excuses after it’s over with. I have faith in Gervonta. I know what he’s going to do.”

BULLET CROMWELL, Romero’s Trainer

“I know what everybody is saying about who the champ is coming into this, but the champ wasn’t born a champ, he had to rise too. Just like a young lion, ‘Rolly’ is ready to rise.

“I’m an L.A. cara. When we come back here, we’re fighting for a legacy. It’s not just a belt and money.

“I told ‘Rolly’ that Gervonta Davis is standing in the way of changing your family and your legacy. We got a job to do.

“I don’t care about pure boxing or any style. I took karate, street-fighting and boxing, and I put it all together. Combined with a puncher with ‘Rolly’s’ power, and with his grind and grit, it’s a perfect match.

“I have a lot of respect for ‘Tank’ and his team. Ele é um grande lutador, but Rolly is next up. He’s going to be the new WBA champion on December 5.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Promoções Mayweather

“We’re excited to bring this huge event to Los Angeles at STAPLES Center on Sunday, Dezembro 5. This is a tremendous matchup and the fans should be excited. There’s a lot of buzz already and tickets are going fast.

“These fighters truly despise each other. It’s rare you see that in boxing. Em 2019, me and Floyd were at the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Mikey Garcia and we were talking and all of a sudden Davis and Romero were ready to go at it at ringside. Floyd told them that they could do it in the ring, and now here we are.

“’Tank’ is without a doubt the most exciting fighter in the world. He’s also one of the biggest attractions and one of the best fighters in the world. ‘Rolly’ has let it be known that he’s been ‘trolling’ ‘Tank’ and I’m sure on December 5, ‘Tank’ will be doing whatever he can to shut ‘Rolly’ up.

“’Rolly’ is a very explosive fighter and anytime he steps into the ring, he’s looking to get his opponent out of there. He never lacks confidence and he’s confident that on December 5 he’s getting the job done.

“With two tremendous power punchers like this, there’s no way this fight doesn’t end in a knockout. Tune in December 5 and expect someone to get knocked out.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President of SHOWTIME Sports

“For SHOWTIME Sports, 2021 has been one of the strongest years on record. We have delivered a total of 42 eventos, half of which ended in knockouts. Em dezembro 5, I expect this won’t go the distance, ou, with these two hard hitters.

“Week after week, year after year, SHOWTIME continues to be the standard of this sport. No one in combat sports is putting on better, or more meaningful fights than us.

“As we enter Gervonta’s 11th fight with SHOWTIME, he has never been down, and he has continued to shine. When other fighters are talking, ‘Tank’ is fighting and selling out arenas.

“’Rolly’ has also never been downed as a pro. He is a hard hitter and is one of the best talents in boxing, and he will be the first to tell you.”

Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz No longer best kept secret after Tyson-Jones, Jr. PPV show performance

WORCESTER, Massa. (Dezembro 14, 2020) – Prior to his sensational performance on the recent Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view evento, undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine “O Técnico” Ortiz was boxing’s best kept secret. No more, embora, as Ortiz firmly established himself as a rising star in front of countless fans among the 1.6 million PPV buys.

Ortiz flew from Boston to Los Angeles on Thanksgiving. He was driven to his hotel, where he immediately saw Jones, checked his weight, and walked to Staples Center. “I was comfortable from the start,” said the young fighter who was fighting for the first time as a professional outside of New England. “I was there to get the job done. I was on a mission. I walk to see the Staples Center and that was cool. I later took my run around the Staples Center and there were a lot of statues. It was beautiful. It was cool seeing the Lakers locker-room.”

The 24-year-old Ortiz (14-0, 8 KOs), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, nocauteadoSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOs) with a bruising body attack, hurting his opponent in the sixth round, and closing the show in spectacular fashion in the seventh for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (U.S) Silver lightweight title. Segawa had never been stopped before as a professional.

Ortiz displayed his overall arsenal: stiff jab, lightning quick hands and feet, switching back and forth effortlessly from orthodox to southpaw stances, punishing hooks up and down, and the most lethal body shots seen from a New Englander since“Irish” Micky Ward.   

“I was calm and cool before the fight,” Ortiz added. “I like to go into a fight, mentalmente, like it was a sparring session and I always do good. I started out in an orthodox stance, established my jab and used it a lot. I think I should have used it more and could have beaten him with it. I listened to my coach (Rocky Gonzalez) and he told me when to switch. Body punching is the No. 1 thing with Rocky. I may not have shown it nearly as much in other fights, but he drills that into me all the time. In the sixth round, he told me to go more to the body, not looking to catch him, and in the seventh I really hurt him to the body.

“Segawa was definitely tough. He had beaten a lot of guys, including a few he upset. Every fight is a stepping-stone and I’m my worst critic. I felt that I could have knocked him out in the second round, but I didn’t want to go off the game plan

Ortiz set-up Segawa from the opening bell, quebrou-o para baixo, and finished the show in grand style as Seqawa was hurt and trapped on the ropes, drawing kudos from highly respected people in the industry such as“Sugar” Ray LeonardTeddy Atlas, and others. Ortiz’ fanbase grew exponentially as boxing fans rushed to sign up to follow Jamaine during and after his breakout fight.

“Once people saw me perform and my style,” Ortiz continued, “they liked me. I could have shown more and thrown more combinations. I really needed to fight in front of the world. I got 5,500 new Instagram flowers that night. I guess, I’m no longer the best kept secret in boxing.”

“Our main goal is to win a world title,” Gonzalez commented. “This was fun and a great opportunity, but the motivation to be world champion is stronger. He dealt with this fight as just another fight, and he followed our game plan.

“His body shots set up the ending. I’m always telling him about Micky Ward’s body shots. You know, boxing is a dance, a salsa. Boxers need to dance; I don’t think they should just be orthodox. They all need to fight the other way and when Jamaine switched stances in the third, he never let up. I’ve trained him hard. I’m always on him and what better way to shut me up than ending it like he did on pay per view?  It was a drop the microphone moment!"

Ortiz is promoted byJimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports) and advised byRichard Shappy eEddie Imondi

Because of the uncertainty in boxing due to the pandemic, Ortiz’ 2021 schedule is unknown, but he isn’t boxing’s best kept secret anymore, “The Technician” is a bonafide rising star.

I didn’t want any tune-up fights. I wanted someone who is tough and who could push me to the limit, so I can get back to being Errol Spence Jr. I’m going to give a great performance and hear ‘and still’ em dezembro 5.

I picked Danny Garcia so that I could rise to the occasion. I’m still the top dog in the division. Fighting Danny will show how great a fighter I am.

Danny’s dad gets me hyped up talking about his son coming forward, throwing a lot of punches and taking the belts from me. So I’ll be ready for whatever Danny brings to the ring. I’m not going to get into any head games like with Shawn Porter. I fought Shawn’s game and beat him at his own game. I know Angel wants me to stand there and brawl with Danny, but I’m going to do what I have to do to win the fight.

It’s up to me to make a big splash coming back from my car accident. Lesser opponents were for before I became champion. I finally got to the top, where I can fight the big names, so I’m not going backward. These are the guys I’ve wanted to fight forever.

I definitely learn more from Danny’s wins. He has a lot of great wins. You learn a lot from all different kinds of fights. I’m a student of the game and a fan of the sport. All I do anyway is watch boxing. So I’m very familiar with Danny’s wins and losses.

The accident just made me hungrier and even more focused. I have the same hunger now that I had before I won the title. I’m coming into camp much lighter and it’s helping me have an even better camp.

I’m the champ, e no final do dia, I can just fight. When it gets down to the wire, I know how to dig down deep and come out on top.

It means everything to be fighting at home, especially with everyone going through the pandemic. I just want everyone who comes out to be safe and follow the protocols, and we’ll make it a great night.

DANNY GARCIA

Camp has been going great. My weight is good and I feel like we’re ahead of schedule. Now we’re just taking it one day at a time. I’m excited to be in this position to fight for the title again.

“Em dezembro 5, no stone will be unturned. We’re going to give it 110% and take these titles from him in his hometown.

I’ve been an underdog my whole career. I’m used to playing that role. I just have to go in there and be myself. I have to believe in myself 100% and fight round by round. I’m going to show what a true champion is made of.

After the Garcia and Porter fights, I saw some holes in his game and I knew it would be a good opportunity to become champion again. These type of fights bring out the best in Danny Garcia. They give me the extra motivation that I need and that’s why I wanted it.

I thought Spence was the bigger and better man against Mikey Garcia. Mikey has great skills, but Errol had size and let his hands go. It made Mikey freeze, so he didn’t take any risks. He did land some good counterpunches, and those are the kind of things that I’m taking into consideration during this camp.

My job is to fight. I can’t go in there and worry about judges. They’re going to do what they do. My job is to put in the work in the gym so that I’m ready on fight night. I have to go in there and win rounds and win the fight.

I know that I’m a great fighter. I’ve been in these type of fights before. I know what I’m made of. As long as I’m mentally and physically at my best, nobody can beat me. I’m a dangerous man when I have this focus.

We’re taking this fight like Errol is 100%. We’re not banking on anything hindering him. We’re taking this as seriously as possible. We wanted this fight a long time ago, but we just had to stay focused. Now the fight is finally here and I feel like we’re going to have a great performance.

I believe that I do everything great. I can bang inside and box. That’s why I’m a three-time world champion. I’ve faced every style imaginable and I’ve come out on top.

Derrick James, Formador de Spence

Training camp has been really good. We’ve been putting in the hard work since March. Everything is coming together leading up to December 5. We took our time and it was a gradual process getting to this point. He was already in shape by the time this camp started so we had a great head start.

Even when Errol was getting back into his rhythm, he was still looking good. But you could see the improvement day after day as he got more comfortable being back. Everyone will see on December 5 who Errol Spence Jr. really is.

It’s great to be able to fight at home against a fighter like Danny. Putting on a great performance will build Errol’s legend and his stock will continue to rise. Errol has always been able to handle fighting in front of his hometown fans. We love everything that the city brings us and we feed off that energy in the ring.

ANGEL GARCIA, Garcia’s Father & Treinador

Everything has been perfect in camp. You can see how good he’s looking right now. Danny would be ready to go tomorrow if we had to. It’s going to be a great night for me and Danny. Not taking anything from anybody, but we’re coming to take those titles.

I never look at opponent’s tapes from past fights. We’re not going to learn anything from that. When I train Danny, I focus on Danny. All I know is how to make Danny better. We’re going to dictate the fight and be on top of Errol. We’re not going to fight like Mikey Garcia did and run all night.

“Desta vez, we’re not going to leave it in the judges’ mãos. We chose to go fight him in Dallas. Danny made that call. No final do dia, Danny just has to go in there and do his thing.

TOM BROWN, Presidente da TGB Promoções

“Errol Spence Jr. vs. Danny Garcia is one of the most intriguing fights of this year and it is a fight that will determine who is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

This will be a tremendous night of boxing and it will be at the home of the best pro sports franchise in the world, AT&T Stadium. This is the perfect host for a matchup with two fighters in their prime, both ready to put their legacies on the line.

Spence is one of the most talked about fighters in the sport. Many consider him to be the best fighter in the world, and with good reason. He wants to be challenged and this is the type of fight that elevates our sport.

Danny Garcia is a throwback fighter. He’s one of the most skilled and battle tested fighters in our sport. What he did at 140 libras, before moving up, was simply amazing. Putting these two together will bring back memories of great welterweight battles of the past.

Split-T Management’s Christopher Pearson ready for anyone at 160 ou 168 lbs.

NOVA IORQUE (Julho 28, 2020) – Surging middleweight contender Christopher Pearson is ready for a breakthrough performance against any of the top names at 160 ou 168 divisions.


Pearson of Trotwood, Ohio, is managed by Split-T Management, and he recently moved to San Antonio, Texas, tem um registro de 17-2, and is riding a three-fight winning streak which includes a win over former Olympic Bronze Medal winner and undefeated Yamaguchi Falcao.


Pearson, who trains in Los Angeles under world-championship trainer Manny Robles, has already begun preparations for his next assignment.


I started training down here in San Antonio at Jesse James Leija’s gym. I just moved down here, and it took a minute to find a gym, but once the gym opened, this is a great place to be. I will go to Los Angeles on July 30th and start with Manny,” said Pearson.


Pearson, who began his career with 13 vitórias consecutivas, feels that he is a stern challenge for anybody at middleweight or super middleweight.


I am looking to fight the best in those two divisions,and solidify myself as the best in the sport. I feel that that the 2nd half of my career is proving that I am the best.


The Falcao fight proved that Pearson can fight anyone in those divisions, and despite getting a late call for the fight, he performed at a high-level to come home with the emphatic unanimous decision victory.


I took that fight on four weeks notice. I am not short on confidence, and I know what I am capable of doing.


Recently Pearson had his named mentioned for a showdown with Canelo Alvarez, and he believes that Canelo’s handlers were not too keen in a fight with the 29 year-old Pearson.

I know that I am one of four or five guys from Golden Boy Promotions that was offered that fight. Out of all of those guys, they must of looked at me as a high-risk, low-reward fight. Fighting me is dangerous. They know me, because I have sparred with him, and he knows what I am capable of.

Canelo is a counter-puncher, but he is not better then me in the department. He has more power, but he is not as capable as me. Assim que entrar no ringue, anything can happen..especially at 168 libras.”

Another fight that I would like to get is with Jaime Munguia. He is at 160 pounds now. I can outclass him. I don’t see anything special about him. If it takes beating other fighters like David Lemieux or Taureano Johnson to get those fights, then bring them on. Right now I am ready to take on anyone.

Pearson is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions.
