Blockbuster Event to Feature Unbeaten Former 168-Pound Champion David Benavidez, Undefeated Former Bantamweight Champion Luis Nery & Fan Favorite Chris Arreola In Separate Bouts on Four-Fight Pay-Per-View Card



ARLINGTON, TX. (Februari 14, 2019) – Unbeaten IBF Welterweight World Champion Errol “De Waarheid” Spence Jr. defends his title against undefeated four-division champion Mikey Garcia in a highly anticipated and historic showdown for pound-for-pound supremacy that headlines a Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event on Saturday, Maart 16 van AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The four-fight pay-per-view card will also see unbeaten former super middleweight world champion David Benavidez taking on veteran contender J'Leon Liefde in een confrontatie van 10 ronden, undefeated former 118-pound champion Luis Nery vechten voormalig kampioen McJoe Arroyo in a 10-round attraction and fan-favorite Chris “De nachtmerrie” Arreola facing unbeaten Jean Pierre Augustin for 10-rounds of action.

Tickets for this showdown, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Ringstar Sports, zijn nu te koop, en kunnen worden gekocht bij SeatGeek.com, de officiële ticketaanbieder van AT&T Stadium.

Spence and Garcia will go face-to-face on Saturday, Februari 16 at a press conference in Los Angeles that will air live on FOX from the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles beginning at 4:30 p.m. AND / 1:30 p.m. PT. The press conference is open to ticket holders for the Leo Santa Cruz vs. Rafael Rivera featherweight championship fight.

Op Dinsdag, Februari 19, Spence and Garcia will square off at a press conference from
AT&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,” zei 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,'” zegt Richard Schaefer, Voorzitter en CEO van Ringstar Sports. “Naast het hoofdevenement, 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. “AT&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 KO) 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. bij de 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,” said 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 KO) is striving to put together a legendary career and is aggressively pursuing that goal. He has won world championships at featherweight, junior lichtgewicht, lightweight and junior welterweight. He now eyes a welterweight title against the consensus class of the division in Spence. Fighting out of Moreno Valley, Californië, Garcia unified the IBF and WBC Lightweight World Championships in his last bout by scoring unanimous decision victory over Robert Easter, Jr. juli 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 KO) became the youngest fighter to ever win a super middleweight title in 2017 when he defeated Ronald Gavril at just 20-years-old. Fighting out of 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, Liefde (24-2-1, 13 KO) 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 KO) 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.

Een 2008 Olympian for his home country of Puerto Rico, Arroyo (18-2. 8 KO) 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 KO) 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 KO) will face his toughest and most experienced test to date in Arreola. Geboren in Haïti, Augustin turned pro in 2014 and has steadily climbed up the heavyweight rankings.

BROOKLYN (Juli 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 de belangrijkste gebeurtenis van Showtime Championship Boxing, Saturday on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, het huis van BROOKLYN BOKSEN®.
In what could be considered one of the best performances of his career, Garcia (37-0, 30 KO's) won a unanimous decision by scores of 117-111 en 116-112 tweemaal.
“We opgeleid 10 weken, 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 vanavond.”
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 KO) 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 stoten, 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.”
Ongeslagen Jermall Charlo (26-0, 20 KO) made his debut at 160-pounds with a stoppage of Argentine contender Jorge Sebastian Heiland (29-5-2, 16 KO) in the co-featured event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. De staking kwam op 2:13 of the fourth round after Charlo delivered a devastating left hook followed by a big right to end the fight.
Charlo, 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 procent. 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. “Ik heb geprobeerd om het te geven mijn alles, 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.”
headliner van de “SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Prelims,” zwaargewicht Jarrell Miller (19-0-1, 17 KO), van Brooklyn, N.Y., stopped former world title challenger Gerald Washington (18-2-1, 12 KO) 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.
Molenaar, 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 power was there, 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 de opening aanval van “SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Prelims” on Facebook Live, Irish sensation Katie Taylor (6-0, 4 KO) gestopt 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,” aldus Taylor. “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 vanavond. 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. 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 KO) earn a unanimous decision victory over former champion McJoe Arroyo (17-2, 8 KO) 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 tweemaal.
“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.”
Zaterdag fights will replay on Sunday, Juli 30 bij 8:35 a.m. ET on SHOWTIME and on Maandag, Juli 31 bij 10:30 p.m. EN/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® en Showtime ANYTIME®.

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

ADRIEN BRONER

“Just know that I’ll be ready op zaterdag nacht. 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. I’m going to put on a show op zaterdag.

“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. Zaterdag night there will be a lot more room on the bandwagon.

“We’ll see who’s on the pound-for-pound list after Zaterdag nacht. 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. Ik ben klaar voor deze strijd.

"Zaterdag is going to be a special day for me. My birthday is morgen. 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 op zaterdag. 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 op zaterdag.

“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 op zaterdag. 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 op zaterdag nacht. 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 op zaterdag.

“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 op zaterdag.

“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 op zaterdag nacht.

“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 op zaterdag nacht."

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO van Mayweather Promotions

“This is definitely a must-see event op zaterdag nacht. Two great fighters, fighting at the right time, both in the prime of their careers. Het gaat om een ​​geweldige show te zijn.

“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 deze zaterdag nacht in 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, Voorzitter van DiBella Entertainment

“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 op zaterdag nacht. There will be a strong Irish presence on the card Zaterdag with both Katie Taylor and Noel Murphy entering the ring.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & General Manager, Showtime Sport

"Zaterdag 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.

“I’m hungry to get back in the ring and get myself back into world title contention with a win on Juli 29,” said Warren. “I know that I’m going to be a world champion again and that all starts with this fight. I’ve been working hard in the gym and getting comfortable at the smaller weight. I’m going to be ready to perform when fight night comes.”
“I’ve been training a long time for this matchup as we awaited the official fight date,” said Arroyo. “This is a good opportunity for me and I am going to be at my best to win this fight and get a world title opportunity. I know Warren is a good boxer, so I will be in great shape.”

The 30-year-old picked up victories over veterans Jose Luis Araiza, Javier Gallo, German Meraz and Jhon Alberto Molina leading up to his first world title shot in 2015. After dropping a controversial split-decision in their first fight, Warren defeated Juan Carlos Payano by majority decision in the rematch in June 2016 and became the first member of the 2012 U.S. Olympic team to win a world title. After dropping a split-decision to Zhanat Zhakiyanov in February, Warren will look to put himself right back in title contention against Arroyo.
Een 2008 Olympian for his native Puerto Rico, Arroyo won bronzen medailles op de 2007 Wereld Amateur Kampioenschappen en de 2006 Midden-Amerikaanse Spelen. The 31-year-old was unbeaten in his first 17 professional bouts including a technical decision victory over Arthur Villanueva in 2015 that earned him a vacant super flyweight world title. After losing a decision to Ancajas last September, Arroyo seeks another world title fight and a rematch with Ancajas if he is able to defeat Warren on July 29.

“I took two years off of boxing and missed being a champion. I came back last year on a mission to win another title and that’s what I’m going to do,” Said Rodriguez. “Nothing can stop me. When I am given the proper time to prepare, I am one of the world’s best. That is what I will show against Ancajas.”

Rodriguez’s manager José A. Acevedo of Free Agent Boxing Management, says his fighter is getting top-level training for this showdown.
“Torito is working with his great trainer, Gil Gastelum, at Big Time Boxing in Port St. Lucie, Florida and Caicedo Sport Training Center in Miami,” said Acevedo. “And more importantly, he is sparring with some excellent fighters to get ready, including former world champ Juan Carlos Payano, WBA-NABA Bantamweight Champ Stephon Young and upcoming featherweight title challenger Claudio Marrero amongst others. This is the best I’ve ever seen him look. He is very determined to win this championship. Thanks to Manny Pacquiao and Sean Gibbons for this terrific opportunity.”
“Ancajas is a good fighter and I respect him, but there is nothing that can save his title from me,” continued Rodriguez. I thank him for this opportunity, het is een droom die uitkomt, but he’s going home an ex-champ. I am going to be an unbeatable force that night.”

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. VERSLAAT MARCOS REYESSATURDAY bij Don HASKINS CENTRUM IN EL PASO, Texas op Showtime

McJoe Arroyo wint IBF Junior bantamgewicht World Championship & Amir Imam Verdient schot op 140-pond titel op Showtime Championship Boxing®

 

Watch The Replay Maandag Bij 10 p.m. EN/PT op Showtime EXTREME

 

STEP, TEXAS (Juli 18, 2015) - Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. verdiende een unaniem besluit (97-92, 98-91, 96-93) dan Marcos Reyes in de belangrijkste gebeurtenis van Showtime Championship Boxing op zaterdag voor 9,245 in het Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas.

 

Reyes was de actievere vechter - hij verdubbelde de output van Chavez - maar kon eenvoudigweg zijn grotere tegenstander geen pijn doen. Na een verlies bij licht zwaargewicht afgelopen april, Chavez besloten om te proberen om campagne te voeren bij super middengewicht.

 

Chavez (49-2-1, 32 KO), die was vechten voor de eerste keer met trainer Robert Garcia, leek te kunnen zijn power shots te landen op wil, hij koos echter zijn plekjes en had lange periodes van inactiviteit. Hoewel hij met een nieuwe trainer werkte, Chavez bleef vooruit bulldozer en vochten een zeer vergelijkbare strijd zoals hij deed tegen Andrezj Fonfara in april, dit keer tegen een kleinere tegenstander.

 

"Ik won. Dit is groot voor mij en Robert,'Zei Chavez. "Ik kan het beter, maar ik heb gewonnen en dat is het belangrijkste. Ik ga vechten om 168 pond. Beetje bij beetje, Ik ga afvallen. We weten dat we veel beter werk doen in de sportschool.

 

“In de derde ronde heb ik mijn linkerhand bezeerd. Ik denk dat het kapot is, Ik weet het niet. Ik ga naar de dokter. Met alle respect voor Reyes, als ik niet had pijn aan mijn kant zou ik hem knock-out.

 

“Ik verbond de beste stoten met de kin en het lichaam. Ik hem pijn, maar ik kon hem niet afmaken omdat ik mijn hand bezeerde. Hij gooide veel stoten maar miste veel. Hij me nooit kwaad. Ik voelde dat ik hem elke keer dat ik landde pijn deed. "

 

Na het gevecht, Reyes (33-3, 24 KO) predikte zijn zaak aan SHOWTIME verslaggever Jim Gray en wees op het gewicht verschil.

 

'Ik heb het gevoel dat ik het gevecht heb gewonnen. Ik liet hem zien hoe ik bokste,'Zei Reyes. “Ik haalde het gewicht op 168 en hij maakte geen gewicht. Hij is als een licht zwaargewicht dat vecht tegen een middengewicht.

 

"Ik was tegen alle verwachtingen in - de scheidsrechter, het gewicht, alles. Ik denk dat ik het gevecht gewonnen heb. Het is oké - ik heb mijn best gedaan. "

 

In de co-functie, McJoe Arroyo won een technische beslissing over Arthur Villanueva om de vacante IBF Junior bantamgewicht World Championship te winnen na de wedstrijd werd gestopt op 2:10 in de 10th rond vanwege een diepe snee over Villanueva's rechteroog. Het gevecht ging naar de scorekaarten van de juryleden en Villanueva stond voor 97-92, 98-91 nadat de rechters scoorde de 10th.

 

De Puerto Ricaanse Arroyo (17-0, 8 KO) werd de derde vechter uit het eiland om een ​​115-pond titel te winnen.

 

De linkse-rechtse matchup was soms zeer technisch en smerig gevuld. Scheidsrechter Rafael Ramos trok een punt af tegen Villanueva (27-1, 14 KO) voor het leiden met zijn hoofd in de zesde. In een ander duel in de zesde, er ontstond een diepe snee boven het rechteroog van Villanueva die uiteindelijk tot de onderbreking leidde. Ramos oordeelde dat de botsing die de snee opende onbedoeld was.

 

Dr. Brian August inspecteerde de snede halverwege de zevende ronde en opnieuw na de achtste. Ramos gebaarde opnieuw voor augustus om de snede in de 10th en oordeelde dat het te diep was om door te gaan. In een interview met Jim Gray, Augustus verklaarde dat hij stopte het gevecht in het beste belang van de vechter, maar dat Villanueva beweerde dat hij had geen zicht problemen.

 

"Toen hij werd invoeren, hij kwam laag binnen. Hij botste veel met de hoofden,'Zei Arroyo. 'Voor het gevecht, Ik wist dat hij een taaie vechter was. Alle Filippijnse strijders komen om te vechten. Ik wist dat ik er klaar voor moest zijn 12 rondes, boksen of vechten. Het was een competitief gevecht, maar we werkten elke ronde harder. "

 

Toen hem werd gevraagd door Gray als het was moeilijk om zijn ritme te vinden, Arroyo antwoordde, "Dat is normaal als een linkshandige tegen een rechtshandige vecht. We probeerden allebei glad en slim te zijn. Dat gebeurt wanneer twee boksers met dezelfde stijl vechten. "

 

Villanueva niet eens met de staking en riep op tot een onmiddellijke rematch.

 

"Het was een zwaar gevecht en zeer moeilijk voor me na de kopstoot,”Zei Villanueva. 'Ik dacht dat ik het gevecht had gewonnen. Ik wilde niet dat ze het gevecht stopten omdat het net in de stroom kwam. Ik ben teleurgesteld over de onderbreking. Ik weet dat ik hem kan verslaan en ik wil een onmiddellijke rematch. "

 

In de opening aanval van de avond, ongeslagen 140-pond mededinger klopte Fernando Angulo met een donderende recht op een verplichte schot te verdienen bij de winnaar van de geplande val confrontatie tussen Viktor Postol en Lucas Matthysse voor de vacante WBC Super Lichtgewicht World Championship.

 

Het bleek een moeilijke strijd voor Imam zijn (18-0, 15 KO), maar hij altijd in controle en uiterst accurate was, landing 54 procent van zijn macht stoten in vergelijking met slechts 17 voor Angulo (28-10, 16 KO). De imam beëindigde het gevecht op briljante wijze met een krachtig recht in het oor van Angulo, dwingen zijn tegenstander face-voren vallen op het doek en de scheidsrechter om direct stoppen met de wedstrijd op :56.

 

'Ik neem mijn hoed af. Hij is een goede tegenstander,'Zei de imam. “Ik sloeg hem net met een grote kogel op zijn oor en hij was klaar.

 

'Deze jongens pakken de riemen en houden ze gewoon vast. Ik ga de riem pakken en hem met trots vasthouden. "

 

Zei Imam promotor en Hall of Famer Don King, "Het was een uitstekende prestatie - net wat ik had verwacht en meer. Je moet nooit onderschatten, maar pontificeren als het gaat om de ‘Young Master.’ We nemen de gordels en iedereen die voor ons komt.”

“Ik gebruikte om doos met Carl als amateur en toen mijn vader (Barry) gebruikt om me te vragen wie ik dacht dat zou de beste pro op de Ierse team zou ik zeggen, 'Het is Carl Frampton, hij heeft wereldklasse stijl.’

 

“Vijf jaar geleden mijn vader vroeg me om de pads voor Carl een paar keer vast te houden en het gewoon gegeleerde. Hier vandaag zijn we. We werken heel goed samen en ik voel dat ik vond mijn forte als coach.

 

“Gonzalez is geen lachertje, maar ik denk niet dat hij op niveau Carl's. Ik denk dat Carl gaat hem knock-out in een spannende strijd. Dit is over het maken van een statement. Volgende wat je weet dat we zullen moeten de enorme super gevechten komen.”
