Live in downtown Los Angeles beginning at 4:30 namiddag. En / 1:30 namiddag. PT. The press conference is open to ticket holders for the Leo Santa Cruz vs. Rafael Rivera featherweight championship fight.

Op Dinsdag, Februarie 19, Spence and Garcia will square off at a press conference from
BY&T Stadium where they will finally go toe-to-toe on March 16.

Garcia is stepping up two weight classes from his last fight to challenge Spence for the welterweight title in Spence’s backyard, not far from the Dallas suburb of DeSoto where Spence grew up a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan. Garcia will be fighting in Texas for the ninth time as a pro and figures to be buoyed by the large contingent of Mexican and Mexican-American fans that will be in attendance.

His task has historical parallels to the paths taken by great fighters like Shane Mosley, Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao, who all moved up multiple weight classes to challenge all-time great welterweights. Mosley and Pacquiao were both successful in moving up from lightweight to defeat Oscar De La Hoya, while Marquez’s rise to welterweight was halted in a decision loss to Floyd Mayweather.

Spence is a power-punching welterweight who has stopped his last 11 opponents heading into this intriguing matchup against the brilliant tactician that Garcia has established himself as. With a clash of two superb boxers in the prime of their careers and squarely in the top-five of the mythical pound-for-pound rankings, the winner can stake a claim as the best boxer in the sport today.

“Errol Spence Jr. vs. Mikey Garcia is a matchup of two highly-skilled and accomplished fighters in a true blockbuster showdown,” sê Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “Fans will get to see the hometown hero Spence against the Mexican-American superstar Garcia with huge contingents of fans uplifting them to put on a performance to match the moment. Combined with a jam-packed pay-per-view undercard of action fights, this has all the makings of a once-in-a-lifetime event.”

“Spence vs. Garcia is an event that transcends boxing and is a coronation that will crown the new ‘King of Boxing,'” said Richard Schaefer, Chairman and CEO of Ringstar Sports. “In addition to the main event, fight fans will be treated to a spectacular night of boxing featuring three of the most exciting Mexican fighters in the sport in David Benavidez, Luis Nery and Chris Arreola. This is exactly what a pay-per-view card is and should be all about: entertainment and non-stop action from the first bell to the last!”

“We are proud to host a boxing match of this magnitude with Errol Spence Jr. and Mikey Garcia,” said Dallas Cowboys Owner, President and General Manager Jerry Jones. “BY&T Stadium was built to house the greatest sporting events on the planet, and we feel we have another incredible boxing event on the horizon with this matchup in our building on March 16.”

Spence (24-0, 21 Uitklophoue) is no stranger to big stadium events as he won the IBF title by traveling to England to take on then-champion Kell Brook at Bramhall Lane soccer stadium on May 27, 2017. In front of a raucous crowd of over 27,000 loyal Brook supporters, the 28-year-old Spence stopped Brook in round 11 to wrest away the title.

This will be Spence’s third defense of the title. After beating Brook, he successfully defended it with an eighth-round stoppage of two-division champion Lamont Peterson and then knocked out mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo in the first round in his last fight at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, near his hometown of Desoto, Texas on June 16. Spence turned pro shortly after representing the U.S. by die 2012 London Olympics with much promise and rose to the championship ranks with wins over former champion Chris Algieri and veteran contenders Leonard Bundu, Alejandro Barrera and Chris van Heerden.

“I can’t wait for March 16th. It doesn’t get bigger than this,” sê Spence. “Fighting at AT&T Stadium in my hometown is a dream come true. If I beat Mikey Garcia the way I plan on beating him, I will be the guy in the sport. This is my year and Mikey isn’t going to stop me. I am training like this is the biggest fight of my life and I want to put on a great show for the fans and win convincingly.”

Garcia (39-0, 30 Uitklophoue) is striving to put together a legendary career and is aggressively pursuing that goal. He has won world championships at featherweight, junior liggewig, lightweight and junior welterweight. He now eyes a welterweight title against the consensus class of the division in Spence. Fighting out of Moreno Valley, Kalifornië, Garcia unified the IBF and WBC Lightweight World Championships in his last bout by scoring unanimous decision victory over Robert Easter, Jr. Julie 28.

The 31-year-old first reached the championship ranks by blitzing through the featherweight and junior lightweight division, defeating Orlando Salido, Juan Manuel Lopez, Roman Martinez and Juan Carlos Burgos to establish himself as a star in the sport. Garcia has been on a fast track since ending a nearly 2-1/2-year hiatus with a knockout victory over Elios Rojas in 2016. After the victory over Rojas, Garcia scored a KO victory over Dejan Zlaticanin for the WBC lightweight championship in January 2017, before defeating four-division champion Adrien Broner in July and then captured a title at 140-pounds by dropping and defeating Sergey Lipinets last March.

“In my career I’ve always sought to fight the best in boxing and this fight against Errol Spence Jr. is just that,” Said Garcia. “I want to be known as one of the all-time greats and what better way to do that than to win a welterweight title and become a five-division world champion. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Errol and what he’s accomplished, but I fully expect to leave the ring at AT&T Stadium with the welterweight world title. This is a match that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time and I plan on giving the fans a performance they’ll never forget.”

The 22-year-old Benavidez (20-0, 17 Uitklophoue) became the youngest fighter to ever win a super middleweight title in 2017 when he defeated Ronald Gavril at just 20-years-old. Veg uit Phoenix, Benavidez’s older brother Jose is also a pro fighter who challenged Terrence Crawford last year. Benavidez most recently won a rematch against Gavril last February, and as WBC “Champion in Recess” he will look to reclaim his belt against the winner of the Anthony Dirrell vs. Avni Yildirim bout for the vacant title on February 23.

Born in Detroit but fighting out of Las Vegas, Love (24-2-1, 13 Uitklophoue) has long been amongst the top contenders at super middleweight and most recently lost a decision to Peter Quillin in August. The 31-year-old had been previously unbeaten in seven bouts heading into the contest against Quillin.

Currently riding a nine-fight knockout streak, Nery (28-0, 24 Uitklophoue) will look to get one step closer to a fight to regain a bantamweight title when he steps into the ring March 16. The 24-year-old from Tijuana, Mexico twice traveled to Japan and stopped Shinsuke Yamanaka in WBC title fights. In 2018 he stopped Jason Canoy and Renson Robles heading into his U.S. debut against Arroyo.

A 2008 Olympian for his home country of Puerto Rico, Arroyo (18-2. 8 Uitklophoue) captured a 115-pound championship with a technical decision over Arthur Villanueva in their 2015 clash. After dropping decisions against Rau’shee Warren and Jerwin Ancajas, the 33-year-old most recently defeated Sander Diaz last June.

An exciting brawler inside the ring, Arreola (37-5-1, 32 Uitklophoue) is well-known for challenging the best heavyweights in the sport throughout his career, and for becoming a popular attraction in and around his native Los Angeles for his fighting style and persona. The 37-year-old faced the likes of Vitali Klitschko, Tomasz Adamek, and Bermane Stiverne, before challenging Deontay Wilder for his title in 2016. After a brief retirement, Arreola returned to stop Maurenzo Smith last December.

Unbeaten and fighting out of Louisville, Augustin (17-0-1, 12 Uitklophoue) will face his toughest and most experienced test to date in Arreola. Gebore in Haiti, Augustin turned pro in 2014 and has steadily climbed up the heavyweight rankings.

BROOKLYN (Julie 30, 2017) – Three-division world champion Mikey Garcia kept his undefeated record intact with a dominant 12-round performance against four-division world champion Adrien Broner in die belangrikste gebeurtenis van Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, Saturday on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, die huis van BROOKLYN boks®.
In what could be considered one of the best performances of his career, Garcia (37-0, 30 KO se) won a unanimous decision by scores of 117-111 en 116-112 twee keer.
“Ons opgelei 10 weke, we had a great training camp and great sparring, we knew it was going to be a tough fight,” Garcia said.
Garcia took the lead early on, showcasing fundamentally sound technique and backing Broner into the ropes midway through the second frame. A flurry of body shots put Broner in trouble in the second round. While Broner was able to stay on his feet, Garcia emerged with another round in his favor.
“I think I controlled the fight in the early rounds and I kept the activity up,” Garcia said. “Broner is a great fighter and he has great skills but I was the superior fighter vanaand.”
Garcia showed a combination of jabs, power punches and body shots all night long. He cornered Broner on the ropes with a huge left hook halfway through the third frame, and backed him in to the ropes again with 39 seconds remaining in the round. While Broner showed some movement in the fourth round and hit Garcia with a succession of 1-2 combinations, Garcia’s bodywork kept Broner at bay.
“It was part of the strategy to be a little busier in this fight than in the fights I have previously had,” Garcia said.
Broner (33-3, 24 Uitklophoue) looked to get back in the fight as he started the eighth round with a succession of sharp combinations, however his lack of consistency couldn’t withstand Garcia’s phenomenal body shots and overall punch output. Through eight rounds, Garcia had thrown a total of 500 stoot, while Broner had just thrown 291.
“It was a good fight at the end of the day, I come to fight I come to win and I put my heart on the line,” Broner said. “But it was Tom & Jerry; I had to catch the mouse.”
Although Garcia had amassed an early lead from the first three-quarters of the fight, Broner continued to walk through heavy fire from Garcia in an attempt to connect with a big punch and change the tide of the fight. While he was able to ignite the crowd and land several big punches over the final three rounds, none of it proved to be enough to slow down Garcia.
“It was my timing, I’ve always said I have very good timing,” Said Garcia. “It is underestimated when you are outside the ring but once you get inside the ring with me, I’m a step ahead.”
Onoorwonne Jermall Charlo (26-0, 20 Uitklophoue) made his debut at 160-pounds with a stoppage of Argentine contender Jorge Sebastian Heiland (29-5-2, 16 Uitklophoue) in the co-featured event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. Die oponthoud het op 2:13 of the fourth round after Charlo delivered a devastating left hook followed by a big right to end the fight.
Charlo, van Houston, Texas, dominated the pace from the beginning. He landed the sharper and more accurate punches throughout the fight, especially in the first round where he landed 50 percent of his power shots to Heiland’s 13 persent. Charlo’s straight right was his power weapon throughout the contest.
“I felt good at this weight. I was in good shape all camp,” Said Charlo. “I just had to keep my composure in the ring. That’s always something I have to work on and I was able to do it.
“After I dropped him the first time they said he fell on top of his ankle. That’s just part of the boxing game. I had to just stay consistent and get the work done.”
Heiland, van Buenos Aires, Argentinië, had issues with his left leg after injuring his knee in the first round. His discomfort was clear in his awkward footwork and lack of power behind his punches. Referee Benjy Esteves had the doctor examine him twice throughout the fight, once before the third round and then again before the fourth.
“I turned my left knee in the first round, but I did not want to give up,” said Heiland. “Ek het probeer om dit op te gee my al, but it was not my night. I had bad luck but I am going to work harder than ever to get back and get another opportunity to achieve my dream and win a world title.”
Charlo stayed focused on his game plan despite seeing his opponent injured. “Sometimes the injury can be a decoy, you never want to just jump in and think it’s part of his game plan,” Charlo said. “My coach told me to stay behind my jab like I did; continue to work and it’s going to come.”
With this win, Charlo becomes a mandatory challenger for the WBC Middleweight World Championship.
“I’m ready for anyone. I’m ready for whoever wants to fight me,” Charlo added. “Bring on the biggest names at 160. I’m the real Tommy Hearns. I feel it’s my turn and I’m going to go get it.”
Headlining the “SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Prelims,” swaargewig Jarrell Miller (19-0-1, 17 Uitklophoue), van Brooklyn, N.Y., stopped former world title challenger Gerald Washington (18-2-1, 12 Uitklophoue) after eight-rounds.
Miller used his significant size advantage and effective power-punching to break down the former collegiate football player. Washington had some success early with his jab and body attack, but was not able to stay out of punching range of Miller
Washington surged in the sixth round with a series of power shots that staggered Miller, however the Brooklynite countered and further broke down Washington, who landed just 20% of his jabs overall.
Miller, who landed almost half of his power punches, continued the onslaught in the seventh and eight rounds, and while Washington was able to stay on his feet, he took enough punishment that his corner called the fight after the eighth round.
“I definitely felt the ring rust,” said Miller, who was making his third appearance on SHOWTIME. “Gerald was very tough. It was a very good fight that had me thinking. My krag was daar, but I couldn’t put it together the way I wanted to today.
“I took the hard way back coming in off of a layoff. Gerald definitely pushed me and motivated me. I had to rely on my brain and my power.
“I knew there would be a give and take in this fight. It’s one thing to fight when you have stamina, it’s another to fight when you’re tired. I was trying to outthink him.”
In die opening bout van “SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Prelims” on Facebook Live, Irish sensation Katie Taylor (6-0, 4 Uitklophoue) gestop Jasmine Clarkson (4-9) after three rounds of action in the latter fighter’s U.S. debuut.
The Olympic Gold medalist was dominant from the outset, stalking her opponent around the ring and consistently trapping her in the corner. Taylor was effective with both hands and did most of her work to the head of Clarkson. After three rounds of damage, Clarkson’s corner stopped the bout and gave Taylor her first stateside win as a pro.
“It was a fantastic experience being my first time competing here in the U.S,” het Taylor gesê. “There were definitely some nerves before the fight. It was great to go in there and get a stoppage.
“I hope that I made some fans vanaand. I loved hearing the Irish fans in the crowd. I hope that there will be even more next time I fight here. The more fights I have here in the U.S. hoe beter.
“I thought I performed pretty well. I definitely got caught with a few silly shots. I could have been cleaner but overall it was a good performance. I felt good and strong. I’ll be ready to get back in there as soon as possible.”
Additional action saw former world champion Rau'shee Warren (15-2, 4 Uitklophoue) earn a unanimous decision victory over former champion McJoe Arroyo (17-2, 8 Uitklophoue) and became the mandatory challenger for the IBF Junior Bantamweight World Title.
Warren attacked the body throughout the bout and landed the cleaner, more effective punches over the 12-round contest. The judges concurred and gave him the decision by scores of 118-10 en 117-111 twee keer.
“I would give myself a B+ for that performance,” said Warren. “I wanted to make sure to use my jab and I felt like it really helped me win the fight.
“I feel really good at this weight. Now it’s time for me to go get a strap. I haven’t been at this weight since the Olympics. I want to get these titles and then go down to 112 pounds for another title. First I want to take care of Jerwin Ancajas.”
Saterdag se fights will replay on Sunday, Julie 30 by 8:35 voormiddag. ET on SHOWTIME and on Maandag, Julie 31 by 10:30 namiddag. EN/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® en Showtime enige tyd®.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Dream Hotel Downtown:

Adrien BRONER

“Just know that I’ll be ready Saterdag nag. I’m not worried about how much he’ll weigh when we step into the ring. I’m ready for anything.

“Camp was tough, but it was great. I did a lot of things differently and made sure that I was doing everything right. I made sure not to cut any corners this camp.

“This is going to be a great fight for boxing. I’ve done my due diligence. I’m going to take care of business. I just know myself and know what I’m capable of.

“Every fight is a must-win in this sport. There’s no fight you go into with a loss on your mind. Ek gaan op 'n show om te sit Saterdag.

“I laugh when people write me off. I’m used to being the underdog coming from where I come from. People don’t know what I’ve been through to get to this point. I’m blessed to be where I’m at. Saterdag night there will be a lot more room on the bandwagon.

“We’ll see who’s on the pound-for-pound list after Saterdag nag. We could have fought years ago but the time is now and I’m ready.

“I’m glad that the Garcia team took this fight as quickly as we did. I’ve been taking everything seriously in Colorado. I know Mikey will be ready too. Robert Garcia definitely has some confidence from beating me with Marcos Maidana. But Mikey is not Maidana.

“I just don’t feel like Mikey will be able to do anything to stop me from getting the victory. I’m sure he’s confident too. After I make it look easy, I want everyone to write about it and say something good.

“I can make anybody quit in the ring. Mikey is no different. If I execute and stay focused, don’t be surprised. Ek is gereed vir die stryd.

"Saterdag is going to be a special day for me. My birthday is môre. I’m almost 30. I want to dedicate this victory to my twin brother Andre. Seeing his smile will make it even more special for me.”

Mikey GARCIA

“I’m prepared to go 12 hard rounds with Adrien Broner. This is a high profile fight. Probably more than my other fights. It’s created a lot of buzz amongst fans and media. Everyone is anticipating a great fight. This is a great matchup that can take me to the next level.

“I don’t think that he’s going to be desperate but he knows that I’m not an easy opponent. That’s why he’s taken camp so seriously. I expect him to be at his best and be ready. He knows that if he beats me he can launch his career back to where it was.

“He’s a four-division world champion so clearly he has the skills. I need someone who is hungry and motivated to bring out the best in me. My main focus is getting the win by any means necessary.

“I’m going to lo look to box effectively and show that I’m the better fighter. We’re both smart fighters but neither of us will run from the other. When you have styles like ourselves, with two guys who like to exchange punches, you’re in for a great battle.

“I think Adrien will be fine with the weight. He’s a pro and he knows that he really has to make weight. He’s learned from his mistakes. Sometimes he jokes around but that’s just part of his character. He takes things a lot more seriously because he’s facing me.

“If I can get this win, I just want to keep moving forward and fulfilling my dreams. I want to be in huge fights consistently. This is a crossroads fight for both of us to get to that level.

“I’m very excited to be here. Brooklyn was very kind to me when I fought here last year. I expect the fans to be here and show up like they always do Saterdag. There are incredible boxing fans in New York.

“I’m here to prove that I’m back and stronger than ever. This is another opportunity to show the kind of fighter that I am. I won’t let Adrien Broner stand in my way. This is my chance to show the best version of myself.”

Charlo JERMALL

“I feel great and ready to make my debut at 160 pond. Camp has gone smoothly. I’m ready to dominate this division like I did 154 pond. My plan is to care of Heiland and then everything else will fall into line from there.

“This is a bigger, better and stronger version of Jermall Charlo. Everything has come together during camp. Ronnie Shields runs a great camp and I believe he’s continuing to bring the best out of me.

“I’m completely focused on this matchup. I know that I can’t get any of the big fights that I crave without taking care of Heiland. I’m going to break him down and if the knockout comes, I’ll make sure to take advantage.

“My hat is off to Adrien Broner and Mikey Garcia for bringing out all the fans and media for this great show. It’s a real thrill to be a part of this event.”

JORGE SEBASTIAN HEILAND

“I’m thankful to everyone who has welcomed me to New York. I’m happy to have this big opportunity and I’m 100 percent prepared for whatever Jermall Charlo brings. Jermall is a great fighter and I know that he is going to bring everything he has.

“I’ve had an amazing camp and I’ve never felt more prepared for an opportunity than this. I was very patient and I will take full advantage. My plan is to leave everything in the ring Saterdag.

“My team has been with me for a long time as I waited for this opportunity. Be ready because it’s going to be a battle and a great matchup Saterdag. You won’t want to miss it.”

GERALD WASHINGTON

“I came here to go to work. I’m going to shut that big mouth of his up. I hope someone is holding him accountable for all the words he’s been saying. You’re in there with a real one Saterdag nag. I’m going to welcome you to this game for real.

“I’m sure he’ll try to bring some extra pressure. I’m going to introduce him to a new class of boxing. I’ve taken a lot from my experiences in training camp with Wladimir Klitschko and in the ring with Deontay Wilder. You’ll see the difference Saterdag.

“I’m still growing in this sport. I’ve been learning on the job this whole time and each experience just means so much to me. I wanted to take on a tough undefeated fighter because I knew that it would make it a great fight.

“This is most definitely ending inside of the distance. I’m coming after him. I’m going to wear him out. Then it’s time to take him out.”

JARRELL MILLER

“If you don’t know who “Big Baby” is, you soon will. I’ve never seen anyone get knocked out and get praised for it, but that’s what people are doing for Washington. I’ve never been hurt in my life in the ring and I’ll prove it Saterdag.

“This guy said he’s going to introduce me to big-time boxing. I’ve been in front of huge crowds and I’ve come through with knockout wins. I’ll be more than ready Saterdag nag.

“I’ve got big plans in this sport and this is only the start. Brooklyn fans loved their hometown heavyweights Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe. I’m going to be next in that line and this city will love me.”

KATIE TAYLOR

“It’s incredible to be here in New York and to make my US debut on this incredible card. It’s truly a privilege.

“Training has gone so well and I’m so happy that SHOWTIME will stream the fight. It’s incredible for my fans overseas and all fans of women’s boxing.

“I hope to make a strong statement this weekend and I hope everyone enjoys the fight Saterdag nag. "

LEONARD Ellerbe, Uitvoerende hoof van Mayweather Promotions

“This is definitely a must-see event Saterdag nag. Two great fighters, fighting at the right time, both in the prime of their careers. Dit gaan 'n groot show wees.

“One of the main reasons why boxing is going to the next level is because the people at the top have a vision of seeing great fights. We have another great example of that Saterdag nag by Barclays Center

“Anytime you have a great event, it’s going to start with the undercard. We have a lot of young fighters looking to show off their skills. We’re thrilled to have our very own Richardson Hitchins and Kenny Robles competing in exciting undercard action.”

LOU DIBELLA, President van DiBella Vermaak

“A month from now there will be a huge event in Las Vegas, maar two days from now there is the best fight card of the summer, the best fight of the summer, and a great show from top to bottom at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

“This is a great summer of boxing for SHOWTIME and it’s great to be in this room and see all the great attention that this fight card is getting. This is one of the best representations that we can have of our sport. This is one of the most stacked cards I’ve ever been involved with.

“There are a lot of good reasons to get a ticket and come to Barclays Center Saterdag nag. There will be a strong Irish presence on the card Saterdag with both Katie Taylor and Noel Murphy entering the ring.”

STEPHEN Espinoza, Uitvoerende VP & Algemene Bestuurder, Showtime Sport

"Saterdag is a testament to SHOWTIME’s commitment to boxing and boxing fans. We’ve worked hard to deliver the most important bouts from around the world. We have three separate telecasts, five fights, across two continents.

“We will also be streaming Katie Taylor’s U.S. debuut. People know Katie from reputation alone, and we thought it was important to have her fight seen. The heavyweight fight between Gerald Washington and Jarrell Miller is another one that deserves to be seen and I think it could be the fight that steals the show.

“The main event has two of the brightest young stars in boxing. They both feel like they’ve been on this stage for a while. You know their resumes and you have to give them all of the credit in the world for taking this fight. Neither had to take this fight, but it will be one of the most exciting matchups of the summer.

“We have had 19 live presentations and 15 world title fights so far and we’re proud of what we’ve done accomplished so far. Boxing has had a great year and much of that has been carried by SHOWTIME boxing. That will continue Saterdag."

BRETT YORMARK, CEO van Brooklyn Sport & Vermaak

“This card is our fourth major card this year. It’s been an incredible year for BROOKLYN BOXING. We’ve made a commitment to bring the best boxing to the borough. With all of our partners help, we have been able to accomplish that.

“We welcome both of these fighters back to Brooklyn. They’ve both built fan bases and we’re excited to see both of them back in the building and in the ring Saterdag.

“The whole night of boxing is going to be incredible. I welcome Jermall Charlo to Brooklyn, your brother had a great night in April and I’m sure you will follow in his footsteps.”

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Nederlae MARCOS REYESSATURDAY by Don Haskins CENTER IN EL PASO, TEXAS OP SHOWTIME®

McJoe Arroyo oorwinning IBF Junior Pluim Gewichten World Championship & Amir Imam verdien skoot op 140-pond titel op Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP boks®

 

Watch Die Replay Maandag Op 10 namiddag. EN/PT op Showtime EXTREME

 

STAP, TEXAS (Julie 18, 2015) - Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. verdien 'n eenparige besluit (97-92, 98-91, 96-93) oor Marcos Reyes in die belangrikste gebeurtenis van Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP boks Saterdag in die voorkant van 9,245 by die Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas.

 

Reyes was the more active fighter – he doubled Chavez’s output – but simply couldn’t hurt his larger opponent. Following a loss at light heavyweight last April, Chavez het besluit om te probeer om die veldtog teen super middelgewig.

 

Chavez (49-2-1, 32 Uitklophoue), wat veg vir die eerste keer saam met afrigter Robert Garcia, blyk te wees in staat om sy krag skote land op wil, however he would pick his spots and had long bouts of inactivity. Although he was working with a new trainer, Chavez het voortgegaan om vorentoe te bulldoze en geveg het 'n baie soortgelyke stryd soos hy gedoen het teen Andrezj Fonfara in April, hierdie keer teen 'n kleiner teenstander.

 

“I won. This is big for me and Robert,” Chavez said. “I can do it better, but I won and that is the important thing. I’m going to fight at 168 pond. Bietjie vir bietjie, I’m going to get down in weight. We know we’re doing much better work in the gym.

 

“In the third round I hurt my left hand. I think it’s broken, Ek weet nie. I’ll see the doctor. With all respect to Reyes, as ek nie seer my hand het ek hom uitgeslaan.

 

“I connected on the best punches to the chin and the body. Ek het hom seergemaak, but I couldn’t finish him because I hurt my hand. He threw a lot of punches but missed a lot. Hy het my nog nooit seer. I felt I hurt him every time I landed.”

 

Na afloop van die stryd, Reyes (33-3, 24 Uitklophoue) verkondig sy saak te Showtime verslaggewer Jim Gray en daarop gewys die gewig verskil.

 

“I feel I won the fight. I showed him how I box,” Reyes said. “I made the weight at 168 and he didn’t make weight. He’s like a light heavyweight fighting a middleweight.

 

"Ek was teen alle verwagtinge - die skeidsregter, die gewig, alles. I think I won the fight. It’s OK – I did my best.”

 

In die mede-funksie, McJoe Arroyo het 'n tegniese besluit oor Arthur Villanueva om die vakante IBF Junior Pluim Gewichten World Championship wen na die bout is gestop by 2:10 in die 10ste round due to a deep gash over Villanueva’s right eye. The fight went to the judges’ scorecards and Villanueva was ahead 97-92, 98-91 Nadat die beoordelaars behaal die 10ste.

 

Die Puerto Rikaanse Arroyo (17-0, 8 Uitklophoue) het die derde vegter van die eiland tot 'n 115-pond-titel te wen.

 

The lefty-righty matchup was at times highly technical and foul-filled. Referee Rafael Ramos deducted a point against Villanueva (27-1, 14 Uitklophoue) for leading with his head in the sixth. In a different clash in the sixth, a deep gash opened up over the right eye of Villanueva that ultimately led to the stoppage. Ramos ruled that the clash that opened the cut was unintentional.

 

Dr. Brian August inspected the cut midway through the seventh round and again after the eighth. Ramos again signaled for August to inspect the cut in the 10ste and ruled that it was too deep to continue. In an interview with Jim Gray, Augustus verklaar dat hy gestop die stryd in die beste belang van die vegter maar dat Villanueva beweer hy is sonder oë kwessies.

 

"Toe hy die aangaan, he was entering low. He was clashing heads a lot,” Arroyo said. “Before the fight, I knew he was a tough fighter. All Philippine fighters come to fight. I knew I had to be ready for 12 rondes, boxing or brawling. It was a competitive fight but we just worked harder every round.”

 

Toe hy gevra is deur Gray as dit was moeilik om sy ritme te vind, Arroyo gereageer, “That’s a normal thing when a southpaw fights a right hander. We were both trying to be slick and smart. That happens when two boxers with the same style fight.”

 

Villanueva nie eens met die oponthoud en gevra vir 'n onmiddellike rematch.

 

"Dit was 'n rowwe stryd en baie moeilik vir my na die kopstamp,” Villanueva said. “I thought I won the fight. I didn’t want them to stop the fight because it was just getting into the flow. I’m disappointed with the stoppage. Ek weet ek kan hom klop en ek wil 'n onmiddellike rematch. "

 

In die opening bout van die aand, onoorwonne 140-pond aanspraakmaker uitgeslaan Fernando Angulo met 'n donderende reg om 'n verpligte skoot verdien by die wenner van die geskeduleerde val konfrontasie tussen Viktor Postol en Lucas Matthysse vir die vakante WBC Super Liggewig World Championship.

 

Dit blyk 'n moeilike stryd vir Imam wees (18-0, 15 Uitklophoue), maar hy het altyd in beheer en uiters akkuraat was, landing 54 persent van sy krag stoot in vergelyking met net 17 vir Angulo (28-10, 16 Uitklophoue). Imam ended the bout in brilliant fashion with a powerful right to Angulo’s ear, dwing sy teenstander aangesig-vorentoe te val op die doek die skeidsregter en om onmiddellik stop die wedstryd op :56.

 

“I take my hat off. He’s a good opponent,” Imam said. “I just hit him with a big shot on his ear and he was done.

 

“These guys get the belts and just hold it. I’m going to get the belt and hold it with pride.”

 

Gesê Imam promotor en Hall van Famer Don King, "Dit was 'n uitstekende prestasie - net wat ek verwag het en meer. You should never underestimate but pontificate when it comes to the ‘Young Master.’ We will take the belts and anyone that comes in front of us.”

“Daar is iets spesiaal wanneer twee Mexikane stap in die ring. Ek kan jou belowe my seun is gereed en ek kan 'n groot stryd belowe.”

 

Nacho Beristain, Reyes’ Trainer

“Ek het niks, maar respek vir Chavez en sy span. Ek het hulle vir baie jare bekend. Ek sal nie sleg praat van hulle. Ek weet op Saterdag almal gaan 'n groot stryd op 'n massiewe platform Showtime kry met twee Mexikane gaan toe-to-toe in die ring.”

 

BARRY McGuigan, Frampton se Bestuurder

“Ek het nie eens geweet Frampton was van Belfast toe ek hom onderteken. Sodra ek meer geleer het oor hom het ek gedink dat dit bedoel was om te wees, sy agtergrond is so soortgelyk aan myne.

 

“Hoe meer ek sien uit Frampton hoe meer ek sien dat hy regtig kon meeding op die hoogste vlak van hierdie sport.

 

“I’ve invested six years into Carl and it’s been the most enjoyable and gratifying experience of my life. Shane het ontwikkel tot 'n ongelooflike boks afrigter en ek is uiters trots op hom.”

 

SHANE McGuigan, Frampton se Trainer

“Ek gebruik om te boks met Carl as 'n amateur en toe my pa (Barry) gebruik om my te vra wat ek gedink het sou die beste pro op die Ierse span wat ek wil sê nie, "Dit is Carl Frampton, hy het wêreldklas styl.’

 

“Vyf jaar gelede het my pa het my gevra om die boekies vir Carl 'n paar keer te hou en dit net gelled. Vandag hier is ons. Ons werk baie goed saam en ek voel ek het my forte as afrigter.

 

“Gonzalez is geen plak, maar ek dink nie hy is op vlak Carl se. Ek dink Carl gaan om hom uit te klop in 'n opwindende stryd. Dit is oor die maak van 'n verklaring. Volgende ding wat jy weet ons sal die massiewe super gevegte kom.”

ALEJANDRO GONZALEZ, Gonzalez se Vader & Voormalige wêreldkampioen

“Die woorde ander mense sê oor hierdie stryd, hulle is net woorde. Die stryd gaan Saterdag en almal gaan om te sien wat gebeur.

 

“My seun is baie bereid en hy gaan om te wen. Ons het alles reg gedoen in die kamp. Dit is tyd vir my seun se en hy kom om te wen.

 

“Hulle het die verkeerde opponent vir Frampton. My seun is 'n baie sterk vegter en almal sal sien op Saterdag.

 

“Ek is mal Mexiko en die stryd gaan wees vir Mexiko.”
