TOLEDO, OH (Febbraio 10) – Quasi 10,000 fans turned out for hometown hero Robert Pasqua (19-0, 14 KO) as he impressively defended his lightweight world title against Puerto Rico’s Luis Cruz (22-5-1, 16 KO) at the Huntington Center in Toledo, OH in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions: La rotonda successiva su rimbalzo TV. Il 2012 Olympic alternate used his reach and power throughout the fight, knocking Cruz down three times en route to a unanimous decision victory.
Cruz’s best round came in the fifth as he turned up the action, giving Easter a pause more than once and pushed the champion toward the ropes. After that round, it was all Easter who threw flurries of punches, not always depending on his range, doing his best to pin Cruz back with powerful hooks and body shots. Easter wasn’t fazed by seeing the 10th round for the third time in his career as a big right hand sent Cruz to the canvas for the first knockdown of the fight. Cruz impressively rose to his feet, but Easter didn’t relent.
He continued his conquest and with 10 seconds to go in the 11th round, Cruz was saved by the bell after being knocked down again. Fighting to the finish, Easter gave the raucous crowd what they came for as he threw a big right hand that nearly ended the fight. Cruz did notably did not quit, but was no match for Easter as the judges scored the bout 119-106, 118-107, 117-108.
In caso di co-main, three-time U.S. Olimpionico Rau'shee Warren (14-2, 4 KO) came out strong from the opening bell as he utilized his hand speed and power by knocking Zhanat Zhakiyanov (27-1, 18 KO) of Kazakhstan not once, but twice. Conigliera, who was defending his bantamweight title for the first time, could not finish the fight in the first round despite throwing a flurry of unanswered punches following the two knockdowns. The tables started to turn in favor of Zhakiyanov in the third round as he threw several consecutive uppercuts, pressuring Warren against the ropes. He threw two right hooks that knocked Warren to the canvas, but referee Gary Rosato ruled it a slip.
Trained and promoted by former unified world champion Ricky Hatton, Zhakiyanov applied pressure throughout the middle rounds, wearing Warren down. But the Cincinnati-native seemed to have gotten a second wind to kick-off the eighth round as he turned up the heat with one minute to go. Zhakiyanov continued to put pressure on Warren and use his strength. The fight was action packed from start to finish, but it was the Kazakh who earned the split decision victory with scores of 116-110, 115-111 for Zhakiyanov and 115-111 Conigliera.
The telecast kicked off with a middleweight bout between Cleveland-native Terrell Gausha(20-0, 9 KO)and Puerto Rico’s Luis Hernandez (15-4, 8 KO). Gausha established his jab midway through the first round with three straight right hands to the face of Hernandez. Tuttavia, it was Hernandez who surprised Gausha with a huge overhand right that floored the 2012 Olimpionico. Gausha easily bounced back from the knock down and was able to get himself out of trouble and continued to show his power throughout.
Referee Jim Howe deducted a point from Hernandez after two low blows in the seventh round. Hernandez remained determined despite taking a lot of big shots, especially in the ninth round when Gausha was a few shots away from ending the fight. Alla fine, Gausha earned a unanimous decision with scores of 98-90 due volte e 97-91.
FIGHTER & PROMOTER QUOTES:
Robert Pasqua Jr:
It was very important for me to remain focused tonight but also have fun. My people came out in full force so I wanted to give them a show, a night to remember. I feel like I did that, even though I wish I could’ve given them the knockout.
I admit, I was very surprised that Luis Cruz could take my punches like that and finish the fight. When I had him down and hurt (in tondo 10), I thought he was done. Gli do credito. He came a long way and showed a lot of heart.
I said before the fight and I’m going to keep saying itI’m here to collect all them belts. I’m not gonna pretend to be that guy who doesn’t call out other fights. I’m calling out Mikey Garcia, Jorge Linares and Terry Flanagan. I want them to see what we were able to do here tonight, the crowd I pulled in. I’m a superstar on the rise and now it’s time for me to collect my prizes and bring these fights and all of the belts home to Toledo.
Even in seeing my brother (Rau’Shee Warren) lose a fight we all thought he won, I couldn’t let that distract what I had to do in the ring. I hated that Rau’Shee had to go through that againlosing in the Olympics three times, not getting his win in the first fight with Juan Carlos Payano, then not getting his belt for months after winning it, and now losing it like that. He’s had it rough, but we’re a team and we have to pick each other up. That became my mission to rise for the sake of the team.
Realistically I’d like to come back maybe May or June. It’s always hard work but I’m not cut or marked up. I want to stay active and get all the champions and best challengers out there. TBTThe Bunny Team is getting ready to take over.
Luis Cruz:
He’s a very strong fighter. I wanted to do more but he took away my energy late in the fight. The first knockdown took a lot of out me. I felt dizzy but it was important for me to finish the fight on my feet. I never stopped trying to win, but he a great champion and the best I’ve ever faced.
I’m going to return home (a Puerto Rico) and enjoy time with my family. I need to rest and relax. Dopo di che, I’ll think about what’s next for my career.
Zhanat Zhakiyanov:
I knew at the end of the fight that I deserved to win, but because of where we were, we weren’t sure if the judges would give it to us. So that surprised us, but not that I won the fight. I was hurt early, but I outworked him in almost every round after that and was the stronger fighter in the end.
The knockdowns shocked me, ma (trainer and promoter, ex campione del mondo in due divisioni) Ricky Hatton kept me level-headed, telling me the adjustments I had to make. Once I was able to get inside and force the action, I saw (Warren’s) energy level drop.
We are grateful that he gave us the opportunity to fight for the world title. It’s an amazing feeling to win that belt. He feels like he won the fight and wants the rematch. We can definitely talk about doing that. I’ve fought everywhere in the world and don’t back down from any challenge.
Ricky Hatton:
We were surprised when Zhanat went down like that in the beginning of the fight. I just wanted to remind him what he does better and what Rau’Shee is good at. He is never going to outbox him; he had to get in his chest, he had to mug him and make it a brawl. Zhanat did that very well and that’s how he won the fight.
If we lost the fight, we would have been upset, but we’d know it wouldn’t have been a bad decision. I know that Warren is gutted, he feels like he won the fight and let’s be honestit was the type of fight where no matter who won, the loser would have felt like he deserved to have his hand raised.
Their styles make for a great fight. Why not do it again? Not just because it was close but because it was such a great action fight and it always will be.
Rau’Shee Warren:
“Uomo, I won that fight. I knocked him down, I was landing the cleaner punches and making him miss. What it is, the judges are favoring aggressive fighters, even when they ain’t even landing.
I went through the same thing with (Juan Carlos) Payano, losing the first fight that I should’ve won and then getting the decision in the rematch. So now I have to prove to these judges the second time what I should’ve got tonight. Of course I want that rematch. I want it next, I want my world titles back.
Obviously you can always do more. We’re gonna go back, look at what we could’ve done differently and make sure the judges don’t take it from me no more.
Terrell Gausha:
The knockdown was legitimate, but that was (Hernandez’) only good moment in the fight. He caught me clean, but it happened to me before (versus William Waters earlier in his career). Just like I did back then, I immediately adjusted and controlled the rest of the fight.
It felt good to get so much from the fans in Toledo and all my fans that came from Cleveland (Gausha’s hometown). It was a great night out here and I’d love to do it again whenever they’re ready to bring us back here or even in my hometown.
I’m ready to return whenever my team says the next opportunity is there for me. Hopefully it’s as soon as possible. This is going to be a big year for me.
Luis Hernandez:
I had him hurt but I didn’t finish him. I didn’t throw enough punches to slow him down after I knocked him down. He deserved to win; I could have done better and will do better in the future. I hope PBC brings me back soon as I want to show I belong with the best.
Adrien Broner:
It was a great turnout tonight. This was the first big promotion for About Billions; it definitely won’t be the last. We got my fight next week in Cincinnati and we gonna keep coming back strong.
Ravone Littlejohn, CEO of About Bilions Promotions:
It was a bittersweet night for us, with Robert Easter looking like a superstar but then with Rau’Shee Warren not getting the victory. We wanted the win in both fights for the fans, but the judges saw what they saw in Rau’Shee’s fight.
The crowd exceeded our expectations. We knew it would be a big turnout but when they opened up the entire venue and we saw nearly all the seats filled, it was a special feeling. Now we get to roll this over to Adrien’s fight next week and look forward to keep bringing big events to Ohio.

In the televised opener unbeaten middleweight prospects collided as Junior Castillo (10-0, 9 KO) earned a unanimous decision over Kyrone Davis (10-1, 4 KO) in a competitive eight-round affair.
The Delaware-native Davis was impressive early with his movement and boxing abilities but the southpaw Castillo was soon able to time his opponent and land left hands to the head and body.
Nel quarto turno, Castillo hurt and dropped Davis in the middle of the round with a left hand after an exchange. Neither man allowed the other to gain too much momentum throughout the remainder of the fight, but it was Castillo’s output advantage of 117-92 that bettered Davisaccuracy advantage of 36 percent to 30 cento.
Castillo won the decision by scores of 78-73, 77-74 e 76-75.
Ecco ciò che i combattenti avevano da dire Martedì:
IVAN REDKACH
I think I won, but it was a good fight.
The knockdown I suffered was me losing my balance. I felt I controlled the fight because I knocked him down twice. I thought I could have stopped him after the first knockdown.
I am not going to argue with the decision but I feel I won the fight.
LUIS CRUZ
I thought the last knockdown was a slip. That was the difference between the draw and my win.
“Ho fatto male. I had the power. I tried to work round-by-round. I feel that I won six rounds and that the knockdown cost me the win.
I thought I fought well. The draw was better than a loss. Why not a rematch? He is strong and dangerous. He hits hard but I know I am better than him.
IMMANUWEL ALEEM
He was a tough guy. I hit him with some good shots but he kept his ground. I respect that.
I was trying to take my time to get him out. I was being hasty. I was trying to get him every chance I got but he was tough. I am a student of the game and I was taking my time.
My manager George Peterson has a resume of building up Paul Williams and I trust what he has in store for me. He knows what I am capable of doing. We will go after everybody, just like Paul did.
JUNIOR CASTILLO
It was a very good fight. I had some difficulty at first but I felt confident that I would be victorious.
I kept consistent with my game plan and I was able to knock him down. I thought I would be able to finish him but I got too wild.
It feels good to defeat an undefeated prospect and also go the distance. I have never gone the distance before.
I want some kind of title fight. My confidence is much higher right.
KYRONE DAVIS
I felt like it was a good fight. I feel like I won. I thought the crowd swayed the judges. I felt like I won but that’s how it goes sometimes.
“78-73 was too wide. I controlled the first two rounds. He crossed over and hit me with a good shot. He may have won the knockdown round and the last round.
If he gives me a rematch, I would love it. This is just a minor setback. I will improve after this fight and I will move forward.

KEITH THURMAN

 

“Sono così felice di essere qui. Alcuni di voi giornalisti mi ricordo da quando ero un ragazzino, quando Ben Getty andava in giro e ha detto a tutti che stavo per essere un campione e noi siamo campione. Combattere proprio qui nella mia città.

 

“Tampa utilizzato per avere una ricca storia di boxe e non vedo l'ora di far cessare tale indietro.

 

“Collazo è un combattente solido, con un ottimo curriculum e ha qualcosa da dimostrare. Sta cercando di prendere il mio titolo a casa e io gli credo. Un uomo affamato è un uomo pericoloso.

 

“Sono grato a tutti coloro che è venuto a sostenere me e non vedo l'ora di vedere tuttiil Sabato notte.

 

“Questa sarà una serata emozionante di boxe. Abbiamo un sacco di talento da Tampa in cima ancora più talenti di livello mondiale sulla carta. Se sei fuori l'orologio, arrivare a 6:30.

 

“Luglio 4th ci sono stati alcuni fuochi d'artificio belle, su Luglio 11 ci saranno migliori.”

 

 

Luis Collazo

 

“Keith Thurman è un campione, Non posso togliere nulla da lui. Lui è un campione di boxe, ma lui ha ancora molto da imparare. Non c'è un giorno vado in palestra e non imparare qualcosa di nuovo.

 

“Ho avuto un grande campo e sono sicuro che Keith ha troppo. Questa è una battaglia che dovete essere pronti per, non solo fisicamente ma anche mentalmente.

 

“Io non sono qui per un volantino. Vengo qui per vincere e di portare quella cintura di nuovo a Brooklyn.

“Ho quello che serve per battere Willie Nelson fuori. Ognuno sa che ha un mento di vetro. Io vado là fuori per sfruttarlo.

 

“Ho avuto un grande campo di addestramento e ringrazio la mia squadra per questo. Questa lotta è una sfida per me e per questo ho preso. Qualcuno che alto a questo peso è una sfida per tutti.

 

“Non vedo l'ora di combattere e non vedo l'ora della sfida. Non è sufficiente per battere solo Willie Nelson, Devo buttarlo fuori. La sfida è quella di guardare bene e rubare la scena da questo grande evento principale.”

 

WILLIE NELSON

 

“Sono il più giovane di otto figli. Sono stato cresciuto da mia sorella. La sporcizia aveva più valore della mia vita, a volte. Ho quattro figli, Non sto lasciando questo ragazzo picchiato me e prendere cibo fuori loro piatto.

 

“Quante volte devo dimostrare a tutti sbagliato? Ho intenzione di farlo, di nuovo, il Sabato notte.

 

“Volevo arrivare Tony pompato oggi e lo scendere del suo piano di gioco in modo da poter sfruttare la notte di lotta. Ha funzionato, Ho anche avuto la sua squadra sparato. Quindi sono molto fiducioso, è al combattimento.”
