Dos jueces anotaron la pelea a favor de Evans: 96-94 y 97-93 - mientras que el tercer juez hizo que Rosa ganara, 96-94, el viernes noche en The Masonic en Templelive Cleveland.

Fue una noche en la que tres peleadores previamente invictos perdieron sus récords invictos. Rosa se convirtió en la 171^st luchador para perder su récord invicto en los 16 años de historia de ShoBox.

En la primera pelea de la transmisión, proclamado boxeador de Cleveland y 2016 U.S. El olímpico Charles Conwell hizo su debut televisivo y mejoró a 6-0. Pero fue la pelea Evans-Rosa que los fanáticos no olvidarán pronto.

“Qué manera de terminar un gran año de boxeo en SHOWTIME,", Dijo ShoBox analista Steve Farhood. "Rosa vs. Evans fue uno de los mejores eventos principales que hemos tenido en el 16 años de la ShoBox serie. Estos fueron dos luchadores que entendieron lo que estaba en juego. Ambos hicieron lo que vinieron a hacer aquí. Al final, todo dependía de los jueces. Pensé que lo habían hecho bien. Fue una decisión dividida. Gran pelea de acción entre dos luchadores muy bien acondicionados ".

La guerra Evans-Rosa incluida 611 total de golpes conectados y 512 Se intercambiaron disparos de poder aterrizados. Hubo múltiples cambios de impulso a lo largo de la pelea, ya que Rosa comandó las primeras rondas con volumen y potencia, mientras que Evans se recuperó en las rondas intermedias..

 

"Estoy cansado pero me siento muy bien,"Evans dijo. "Mi actuación fue excelente. Nunca me sentí empujado tan fuerte. Es un puertorriqueño duro. Es un luchador muy duro. La multitud realmente me impulsó a la victoria esta noche, y estoy agradecido por eso ".

 

LED rosa 268-267 en total de golpes conectados entrando en la ronda final, pero Evans convocó un gran rally en el décimo (49 de 103 a 27 de 88 para Rosa) apoderarse de un 316-295 ventaja general para obtener la victoria por decisión dividida.

 

"Yo pensé que gané la pelea, ganó quizás tres o cuatro rondas,"Dijo Rosa decepcionada después de la pelea. “Gané la pelea 6-4, 7-3 al menos. Gané casi todas las rondas iniciales y le di algunas después de las primeras seis. Cuatro rondas es lo máximo que le doy, y eso es ser agradable. Siento que los jueces se dejaron llevar por la multitud local ".

 

Evans está listo para su próximo desafío. “Quiero a Gary Russell, Quiero [Carl] Frampton, Quiero [León] Santa Cruz,"Dijo Evans, que había entrenado a Barry Hunter en su esquina. "No soy más que un asesino a sueldo. Soy un asesino a sueldo y quiero uno de esos cinco mejores ".

En el evento co-principal, destacado ruso invicto Radzhab Butaev (8-0, 6 KOs; WSB: 9-1) ganó una decisión unánime muy reñida sobre el invicto previamente de Colombia Janer González (18-1-1, 15 KOs) en un duelo de peso welter de ocho asaltos. Los tres jueces marcaron la pelea, 80-72, 79-73, 77-75, a favor de Butaev.

"Sentí que controlaba toda la pelea, pero fue más resistente de lo que esperaba,"Dijo Butaev a través de un traductor. "González conectó buenos tiros pero no pudo rematarme".

Farhood dijo que Butaev no pudo hacer algunos ajustes clave durante la pelea.. “[Butaev] no tenía su entrenador aquí,"Él dijo. "Quizás por eso no hizo ajustes. Todavía tiene un futuro prometedor, pero esta no fue su mejor actuación ".

González fue entrenado en su esquina por el destacado entrenador Rubén Guerrero. “Me lastimé el hombro en el tercer asalto pero me quedé en la pelea y empujé la pelea,", Dijo González, “Cuando me lastimé el hombro, No pude lanzar mi jab de izquierda también, No pude trabajar el jab. Si no hubiera sido herido, Lo habría roto más en las rondas posteriores.”

En la segunda pelea de la transmisión de cuatro peleas, un enfrentamiento de pesos pesados ​​invictos, 28-años de edad Junior Fa (13-0, 8 KOs) eliminó a Pittsburgh Freddy Latham (9-1-2, 5 KOs), entregándole la primera derrota de su carrera profesional sólo 67 segundos en la lucha. Era el 169^º vez que un luchador ha perdido su récord invicto en el ShoBox serie.

El Fa de Nueva Zelanda envió al ex campeón de los Guantes de Oro Latham pedaleando hacia atrás desde la campana de apertura con una andanada de golpes cuando el árbitro Clifford Pinkney saltó entre los luchadores.. Latham, que nunca había sido detenido, luchó por mantenerse de pie mientras se inclinaba contra las cuerdas. Haga clic en AQUÍ para ver el video del paro.

“De hecho, iba a seguir adelante, sigue luchando pero luego se cae. El estaba fuera de eso. El árbitro me tiró hacia atrás,"Dijo Fa, quien ganó un nocaut en el primer asalto por sexta vez en su carrera.

Fa aterrizó 59 por ciento de sus tiros de la energía (17 de 29) mientras que Latham logró aterrizar solo uno de los cuatro golpes de poder.

Farhood quedó impresionado por la actuación dominante de Fa. "Cada vez que un peso pesado muestra poder, tienes que prestar atención,"Él dijo. "Estoy seguro de que veremos más de él en 2018".

“Espero tener la oportunidad de estar entre los 15 primeros ", dijo Fa., que venció al campeón de peso pesado de la OMB Joseph Parker dos veces en los aficionados. “Esta pelea me dio más confianza en mi habilidad y poder, y creo que la confianza es una gran cosa.”

En la apertura de la transmisión por televisión, 2016 U.S. Favorito olímpico y local Charles Conwell (6-0, 5 KOs) - animado por una enorme tercera ronda en la que anotó dos caídas y otra en la quinta - fue la distancia de seis asaltos por primera vez en su joven carrera terminando un juego Roque “Rocky” Zapata (4-2-3) con una impresionante victoria por decisión unánime anotada 60-51 dos veces y 60-53.

El concurso de peso súper welter estuvo dominado por Conwell, de 20 años de edad, de Cleveland., que usó golpes efectivos al cuerpo para hacer la mayor parte del daño, ya que tuvo en cuenta 80 de su 175 total conecta y 75 de su 150 golpes de poder.

Conwell atrapó al ex luchador de MMA Zapata en el tercer asalto con un fuerte cruce de derecha. Fue la primera vez que Zapata, que entró en la pelea con una racha ganadora de tres peleas, alguna vez había golpeado el suelo en su carrera. Haga clic en AQUÍ ver video de KOs en ronda 3.

 

"Mi plan de juego era lanzar algunos golpes e ir al cuerpo, y creo que logré eso. Mi jab fue clave esta noche. Terminé dejándolo caer tres veces,"Dijo Conwell, quien promedió 77 golpes por ronda, pero se dio a sí mismo solo una B menos. “Me encantaría seguir peleando en televisión. Quiero mostrar mis habilidades ".

 

A left hook by Conwell in the latter stages of the third round dropped Zapata for the second time. Zapata hit the canvas once again in the fifth after a devastating left hook to the body followed by a left hook to the chin. The Culpepper, Will. native stood up at the nine-count and finished the stanza.

 

Zapata was impressed by his opponent’s talent. “I survived, so I’m happy,"Él dijo. “I went the distance with an Olympian and that was the plan. I should’ve done better and cut my angles more instead of standing right in front of him, but I’m proud I went the full distance.”

CITAS FINALES:

LUIS ROSA JR.:

“There was a time in my career when I was one fight away from fighting for a world title at 122 libra, but I’m a natural featherweight. This fight is at 126 but I’ll fight at 126 o 122. Wherever the opportunity is, Me lo llevo.

“I’m going to show a lot of different things. I have more to show than just my boxing skills. Whatever I have to do to get the win, I will do it.

“My opponent is a southpaw, but he’s not the slickest southpaw I’ve seen. We’ve been training with a lot of southpaws. Fighting southpaws is not a big deal for me. I fought so many of them in the amateurs.

“I don’t think I’m going to have any problem with him. I know his left hook is his favorite punch so I’m going to try and take that away from him.

“I think putting together some timely combinations is going to be the key to this fight.

“After I beat [Jorge] Diaz and [Luis] Del Valle in 2015 my opposition dropped. I was knocking on the door but just never got the call. That’s why this fight is so big for me. I’m ready to showcase my skills on national TV. I’m ready for the next step on my career.”

YUANDALE EVANS

“I know all the bigger names are at 126 so I’m going to stay right here. I’ve bounced around from 126 a 130. Lou DiBella, my promoter told me to stay ready and that’s what I did; Estoy listo. "

“It took me awhile from me to come back after the loss to Javier Fortuna [en 2012]. But I’ve always stayed sharp and I’ve been in various camps. I’ve trained with guys like Lamont Peterson, Gervonta Davis y Rau'shee Warren.

“I’ve been doing this since I was 10 años, but I’m a lot wiser and smarter than in the past. I have knowledge and have been talking to a lot of managers and champions. I’m like an Einstein now. I’m a lot sharper, and craftier. And I have defense now.

“This fight will show the boxing world that I belong. I can be in the top five. This fight means a lot for me and the people of Cleveland.

“I’ve been working with [famed trainer] Barry Hunter for this fight and he’s taught me so much. My opponent has been spoiled and has never had to travel into enemy territory. Until now.

I’ve been a road warrior my entire career. I know the crowd can win the fight for me. Just the energy and hearing them when I’m tired. It’s a big advantage for me to be fighting at home. I will have a lot of fans here and it’s going to be big. I still got guys’ texting me for ringside seats, but there’s none left.

“I want ShoBox to say, ‘We have to have this guy back. We have to go back to Cleveland.’ ”

"[Rosa] is my height. He’s going to be right in front of me. He’s going to come straight at me. He has to.”

“They call me ‘Money Shot’ and ‘Southpaw Machine’ and the ‘Black Mexican’ in the gyms here in Cleveland.”

JANER GONZALEZ

“I’ve been training with Ruben Guerrero for the past couple of weeks, and I like training a lot better here in the United States. I felt like I was mistreated in the past back in Colombia.

“Fellow Colombian Oscar Escandón introduced me to Ruben and here we are. Es Estados Unidos y todo el mundo quiere estar aquí.. El combate y el entrenamiento son mucho mejores aquí..

"Estoy 30 años ahora y tengo una familia en Colombia para apoyar. Esta es mi oportunidad. No les fallaré. Tengo al Team Guerrero de mi lado, así que estoy listo.

“Todos sabemos que las habilidades pagan las cuentas y yo solo tengo que hacer mi trabajo y no volverme demasiado loco y obtener la victoria.

"Yo vi Muhammad Ali y Sugar Ray Leonard cuando era más joven. Me gustó lo inteligentes e inteligentes que lucharon ".

RADZHAB BUTAEV

"He estado en los Estados Unidos durante un año y me gustó mucho entrenar en Wild Card Gym y Wild Card West en el sur de California..

"Puedo golpear tan fuerte como [Gennady] Golovkin y puede moverse mejor que [Vasyl] Lomachenko. Tengo mucha confianza y mi experiencia es la razón de eso.

"Yo discutió con Demetrius Andrade y Shawn Porter and I have held my own.

“The welterweight division is the best in boxing, everyone knows that. And I’ll fight anybody.

“It doesn’t matter that there’s no YouTube video on Gonzalez. He’s tough and competitive and a boxer who will come to fight.”

JUNIOR FA

“When I beat Joseph Parker [in the amateurs twice] it was my movement and my footwork that was key. He’s such a big puncher I just kept moving because I didn’t want to stand right in front of that.

“I’m a multi-dimensional fighter and my strengths are my mobility.

"Deontay Wilder showed that he has plenty of power. He’s always there from the first bell… I like the guy, he’s got plenty of power and is very explosive.

“I like Anthony Joshua’s boxing brain. He’s got power, but it’s a different kind of power from Wilder. I like the way he sees his punches.

“For myself to be known, I’ll definitely have to fight in America. I don’t think I can make too much of a statement being back home in New Zealand.

“I think I can be three to four fights away for the chance at a world heavyweight title. I have to be entertaining in this fight for the American people to get to know me.

“Boxing used to be the biggest thing in New Zealand, but then rugby blew up.

“I live 40 minutes from Joseph Parker but we’ve never sparred. It’s too competitive.”

FREDDY LATHAM

“This is my first time on national TV so I’m excited and nervous.

“He’s taller, but I feel like I’m just as long as he is. I can put my head in his chest and go to war. If it’s going to be a dog fight I’ll get into his chest.

"Sí, I’ve watched both the heavyweight world champs. I’d beat Joshua now. Wilder, I would have to get serious sparring in. I’d have to change everything I do in my life – the way I train and my lifestyle and everything. Deontay’s the man right now. Joshua burns out after six rounds and that’s why I’d beat Joshua now. I’m two years away from those guys. Mañana night is my first step.

“Boxing’s coming back in Pittsburgh and we’ve got two or three other heavyweights there that are popular right now.”

CHARLES CONWELL

“When you have a good crowd around you, you know it hypes you up.

“I was the youngest member of the 2016 Olympic team at age 18. It was cool being in high school and making the Olympic team.

“I’m very tenacious and determined, that’s why I’ve been successful so far in my young pro career.

“There’s no rush for me. People want to see me, sure. But there’s no reason to move fast at this point.

I think the competitiveness of boxing is what drives me. Sure the money and the fame are going to be great, but I just love everything about this sport.”

ROQUE “ROCKY” ZAPATA

“I haven’t surprised myself when I’ve beaten undefeated fighters.

“I’m an awkward fighter, in a good way. My angles I learned when I was fighting in MMA.

“The risk and the reward wasn’t worth it [to continue] en MMA. I was making a couple hundred bucks and getting elbows to the face. It just wasn’t worth it.

“Conwell is good and aggressive and I’ve seen him on YouTube. He comes forward and he looks to put you down.

“I just feel so much more comfortable in a boxing ring. I was good at takedowns.

"Conor McGregor fue 10 rondas con Floyd [Mayweather] and he got paid, so good for him. I’m one of the few guys who have been able to do both MMA and box professionally.”
