EDMONTON, Канада (Лістапада 6, 2017) – In its continuing efforts as the boxing network destination for Canadian boxing fans, Super Channel has announced that it has secured the exclusive rights to air the Liam “Beefy” Каваль супраць. Liam Williams матч у адказ, у гэтую суботу (Лістапада. 11), live from Metro Radio Arena in New Castle, Вялікабрытанія.
The replay of Сміт супраць. Williams I from this past April will also air on Super Channel ў гэтую пятніцу(11 p.m. / 8 p.m. PT) і Субота (1:45 p.m. І / 10:45 a.m. PT).
The Сміт супраць. Williams II карта, presented by Frank Warren’s Queensbury Promotions andпачынаючы з 3 p.m. І / 12 p.m. PT, will be a 12-round World Boxing Organization (WBO) super welterweight title eliminator with the winner positioned to fight the winner of the WBO title fight between defending champion Мігель Котто і прэтэндэнтам Садам Алі у снежні. Прыгатаваны, аднак, claims that he will retire after that fight. Williams is presently rated No. 2 па версіі WBO, Smith No. 4, а таксама Няма. 7 in The Ring magazine’s independent rankings.
Additional Smith vs. Williams II card fights airing Субота on Super Channel will be announced later this week.
“With the World Boxing Super Series taking a break before the semi-final matches return in the new year, we are excited to be able to continue to deliver high-stakes, world-class boxing to Canadian fight fans with this highly acclaimed rematch between Smith and Williams,” сказаў Трой Васіль, Дырэктар праграмавання, Domestic Distributors & Sports for Super Channel. “Given the controversy surrounding their initial match in April, tension will be high and both fighters will be looking to settle a score.”
In the last fight for both boxers, Каваль (25-1-1, 14 КО) won a controversial fight last April when Williams retired after the ninth round, despite leading on all three judges’ scorecards by identical scores of 86-85. Williams had suffered a double laceration on his right eyebrow that he claimed was the result of Smith’s flagrant headbutt in the third round. Smith believes he was robbed of the opportunity to knockout Williams.
The 29-year-old Smith captured the WBO Super Welterweight World Championship in 2015, stopping American Josh Thompson (17-1) in the seventh round. The gifted Brit made two successful title defenses against fellow countryman and previously undefeated “Джымі” Kilrain Kelly (16-0) і Predrag Radosevic (30-1), stopping them in the seventh and second rounds, адпаведна.
Smith lost his belt to star Саўл “Канело” Альварэс a year ago, getting knocked out in the ninth round of their WBO title fight in Texas. Smith won a four-round decision against Marian Cazacu in a tune-up fight this past March, setting the stage for an interim WBO super welterweight title fight against Williams last April in Manchester, Вялікабрытанія. Smith won the fight but was ineligible to capture the interim title because he failed to make the contracted weight.
“I don’t think you had to be a good fighter to beat me in the first six rounds of our first fight,” Smith said about his original fight with Williams. “I was slow, flat and sluggish. I can never be that bad again. What I did to try and make weight during fight week killed me. It was nothing to do with having a slow start by game plan. Liam had a good start and I couldn’t have been worse. Ёсць 10 fighters in Britain that could have properly out-boxed me on that night.
“The fight was changing before round nine. He threw his head in numerous times because I didn’t get cut off it. Нягледзячы на, you go in the ring, you get wet. The minute you got cut, you knew your chips were down. You spewed it! You chose to let Gary (his head trainer) pull you out. You knew you’d had your moment and you were gone.
“I was up for this rematch and that is why we’re here now. As soon as I start better, Liam is going to be in more of a fight earlier on and he won’t get his own way. It is only to go one way and he is going to crumble earlier than he did last time. I am stronger than him and I have more heart than him.”
Уільямс, 25, has notable victories over Gabor Gorbics (22-4) for the vacant WBO European super middleweight title, і Gary Corcoran (15-0) for the BBBBofC British crown. The Welshman also was the Commonwealth (Брытанская імперыя) 154-фунт падзел вазе.
“Our first meeting was a good fight,” Williams explained. “I felt like I started very well. I was out-boxing him and getting a lot of rounds in the bag. Ён ішоў на моцны, which we were always prepared for, (таму што) that is the kind of fighter Liam is. He comes with a very solid defense and he is very strong.
“Obviously it ended the way it did. It wasn’t fair. We didn’t give the fans a chance to see what the proper outcome should have been. I took a nasty cut to the eye. These things happen, it isn’t a tickling contest. These things happen in boxing and I’m glad to get a chance to do it again.
“I think he was down in the fight and he needed to do something. It was frustrating, and I do believe the head clash was intentional. We are both going to be better. I am going to be more prepared and it is going to be another cracking fight. I’m going to put this to bed.”

See Pacquiao and Roach quotes below from today’s workout:
MANNY PACQUIAO: “We have a really good plan for this fight. We worked hard in training camp both in Manila and in General Santos City. I’m totally focused for this fight. I am not looking past this fight because at this point in my career, every fight is the most important. There are no tomorrows if I don’t win today.
“Jeff Horn is OK. I’ve watched video of his fights. He brings a lot of action into the ring.
“I know what he is feeling. I remember everything about my first world title fight.
“Being a senator and training for a fight is hard. It takes discipline and time management. Luckily, the Senate has been in recess for the past few weeks and I have been able to focus on training for my world title fight.
“A Senator’s job is to defend his people … to fight for their rights.
“I know Jeff Horn used to be a teacher. У кольцы, I’m a teacher too.
“I am ready for Jeff to come out and be aggressive. If he does that it will be a great fight for the fans.
“The biggest crowd I ever fought in front of was at Cowboys Stadium against Joshua Clottey. I’m told this could be bigger [51,000+]. I am very excited for doing that, even though they may not be rooting for me. I am also very happy that ESPN will be televising it live.to Злучаныя штаты. Now everyone can see it. It’s good for boxing.”
Фрэдзі Роўч: “Manny is a performer. He loves people, loves a big audience. Brisbane has all that for this fight. He’ll be fighting in front of the biggest crowd of his career.
“Not everyone gets the opportunity to fight for a world title. It was always my dream but I never fought for one. Гэта вялікая справа. Jeff Horn earned this opportunity. He is the WBO’s mandatory challenger.
“Manny gave me 110% in training camp. He always does. No one works harder in the gym. The difference in this camp from recent ones has been his aggression. He’s scored several knockdowns and I haven’t seen that in years. He has kept his foot on the pedal throughout, even when he’s had a sparring partner in trouble. After his ring work he is singing and dancing – not well – but that’s not the point. He is really hungry to make a statement in this fight against Horn. He’s even playing Shakira during his workouts again and he hasn’t done that in years.”
Субота night’s Super Channel telecast will also feature two-time Irish Olympian Майкл Конлан (2-0, 2 КО), from Belfast, in a six-round featherweight bout against Джарретт “Хуарэс” Owen (5-4-3, 2 КО), of Brisbane.In the 12-round co-feature,Міжнародная федэрацыя бокса (IBF) junior bantamweight world champion Jerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas (24-1-1, 16 КО), of Cavite City, Філіпіны, will defend his title against top-rated contender Teiru Kinoshita (25-1-1, 8 КО), of Kobe, Японія.
