BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE SATURDAY TO BECOME 12th CURRENT BRITISH WORLD CHAMPION ON SHO EXTREME® FROM MANCHESTER,英格蘭

發表評論

紐約 (十二月. 19, 2015) – Billy Joe Saunders dethroned WBO Middleweight World Champion 李兆 with a 12-round majority decision Saturday on 欣欣拳擊 INTERNATIONAL 從曼徹斯特, 英國.

 

戰鬥, 這是得分 115-111, 114-112 和 113-113, will re-air tonight at 9 P.M. AND/PT的SHO EXTREME.

 

In a matchup of tactical southpaws, an explosive third round from Saunders (23-0, 12 科斯) was the difference. The British challenger floored Lee twice – first with a big right hook and again with a counter right just 30 seconds later – and a dazed Lee somehow survived the 10-7 圓. 視頻集錦: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe

 

The Irish Lee (34-3-1, 24 科斯) fought his way back and was the more aggressive fighter in the championship rounds, but it wasn’t enough to make up for a slow start and the two knockdowns.

 

同贏, Saunders became the 12日 current British world champion.

 

“I’m world champion,” Saunders said. “I beat a good champion today, a good sturdy champion. I used his power against him. When I was boxing he got a little bit careless and dropped his lead hand and I caught him with the hook.

 

“I’m not going to start running my mouth, but it was a good shot. With someone as fast as me you have to keep your hands up. I’m not the biggest puncher in the world, but I showed you there that I can punch.”

 

WBA中量級世界冠軍 丹尼爾·雅各布斯, fresh off a first round knockout of 彼得Quillin two weeks ago on SHOWTIME, was a guest analyst 週六 from New York.

 

“I thought he was going to be a big brawler, I thought he had better assets,” Jacobs said of Lee. “He didn’t do enough for me. He was too complacent and after the knockdown you didn’t see that sense of urgency that a fighter has to have on the comeback trail.

 

“All credit due to Billy Joe, but it wasn’t an impressive victory.”

 

After watching the fight, Jacobs wasn’t ready to commit to a unification showdown in 2016 with the winner.

 

“We’ll do whatever makes sense,” Jacobs said. “I think it’s time to sit-down and figure what makes sense. Obviously it’s a good time to be a middleweight champion.”

紐約 (十二月. 15, 2015) – WBO Middleweight World Champion 李兆 和不敗的挑戰者 比利·喬·桑德斯 held separate media workouts in Manchester, 英國, as they conclude preparations for their eagerly awaited showdown this 星期六, 十二月. 19, live on SHO EXTREME (5 P.M. AND/PT)from Manchester Arena.

 

愛爾蘭的利 (34-2-1, 24 科斯) will make the first defense of his 160-pound title against England’s Saunders (22-0, 12 科斯), the WBO’s No. 1 中量級競爭者.

 

該 欣欣拳擊INTERNATIONAL 的發行BoxNation telecast will feature analysis from SHOWTIME boxing experts 布萊恩·卡斯特, 鋁伯恩斯坦 和 保利Malignaggibefore and after the world championship showdown. An encore presentation of the bout will air on SHO EXTREME later that evening at 9 P.M. AND/PT.

 

Here’s what Lee and Saunders had to say at their media workouts on Tuesday and 星期一, 分別:

 

ANDY LEE:

“I have a punch that can end a fight, lights out, in any given second.

 

“I won’t rely on the punch. I will look to dominate from the start with educated pressure.

 

“I’m feeling very dangerous at the moment.

 

“Saunders’ unbeaten record is a disadvantage. He’s always been in fights he’s expected to win and has been well managed by(直率的) 養兔場.

 

“I’ve never lost a fight on points and I never will on points. If I’m down on the cards I will go out swinging in the last round.

 

“Saunders being a fellow traveler does add another layer, but at the end the day it’s about how good you are and he’s not good enough to beat me.”

 

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS:

“I’m ready to go for 星期六 夜晚. This is the best camp that I’ve ever had. I’m prepared for the toughest test of my career, but I know that I’m in excellent shape to win this fight and become world champion.

 

“Andy Lee is a tough fighter – he’s proved that by becoming world champion and having the type of career he has had. But I’m undefeated and hungry and know that I’m on the brink of fulfilling a childhood dream. I’m not going to leave that ring without the title.

 

“Training in Spain allows me to lock myself away from all distractions and focus solely on the fight. It’s hard being away from home, but it’s all part of boxing. It’s been a long camp, a tough camp, but after that I know that I’m ready to go through hell to make sure that I’m successful come fight night.

 

“The middleweight division is one of the hottest around and I’m prepared to fight any of the other champions in there once I win the title.

 

“丹尼·雅各布斯 had a great win against 彼得Quillin, and then there is CANELO (阿爾瓦雷斯) 和 (根納季) 戈洛夫金. I know the importance of this fight for the division and I want my name to be among the very best. I’m taking it one step at a time, but I’m open to fight anyone.

 

“There has been no trash talk with Andy because we know what each person is about. We share a similar background and neither of us is going to take a back step.

 

“This is going to be a very exciting all-action fight because we’re going to leave it all in the ring. I know I have the skills to beat him and I intend to show the world why I’m among the best around.”

 

Saunders on fellow Brit 克里斯·尤班克JR.:

“The truth of the matter is that Eubank Jr. does not belong at the world level – he’s a phony. It’s as simple as that. I wasn’t impressed with his win over Gary O’Sullivan, who I’ve already beat. He thinks he can fool the public with a win like that, but he can’t.

 

“His aim now is to move up and fight the best guys in the world, but we saw what happened the last time he stepped up a notch and faced me: he was badly exposed. The same thing will happen with him if he fights someone like Danny Jacobs for the WBA title.

 

“You’re not the best middleweight in your own country and you want to fight a world champion and say you’re going to beat him? I think it’s a delusion and he thinks he’s greater than he actually is.

 

“Sooner rather than later he’s going to get exposed again as the fraud that he is. You can keep talking, but eventually you have to back it up in the ring against top-level fighters. He’s won his last fight and now he’s back talking (語助詞) again like he’s the best fighter in history.

 

“If he has the balls to fight again, which I doubt, I would happily hand him another beating, this time in even more convincing fashion.”
