EDMONTON, Canada (Novembre 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” Forgeron vs. Liam Williams rematch, ce samedi (Novembre. 11), live from Metro Radio Arena in New Castle, Royaume-Uni.
The replay of Smith vs. Williams I from this past April will also air on Super Channel ce vendredi(11 p.m. / 8 p.m. PT) et Samedi (1:45 p.m. ET / 10:45 a.m. PT).
Le Smith vs. Williams II carte, presented by Frank Warren’s Queensbury Promotions andà partir de 3 p.m. ET / 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 Miguel Cotto et challenger Sadam Ali en Décembre. Cuit, cependant, claims that he will retire after that fight. Williams is presently rated No. 2 par la WBO, Smith No. 4, ainsi que n. 7 in The Ring magazine’s independent rankings.
Additional Smith vs. Williams II card fights airing Samedi 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,” dit Troy Wassill, Directeur de la programmation, 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, Forgeron (25-1-1, 14 KOs) 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, arrêt américain Josh Thompson (17-1) au septième tour. The gifted Brit made two successful title defenses against fellow countryman and previously undefeated “Pince-monseigneur” Kilrain Kelly (16-0) et Predrag Radosevic (30-1), stopping them in the seventh and second rounds, respectivement.
Smith lost his belt to star Saul “Canelo” Alvarez 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, Royaume-Uni. 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. Il y a 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. Indépendamment, 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.”
Williams, 25, has notable victories over Gabor Gorbics (22-4) for the vacant WBO European super middleweight title, et Gary Corcoran (15-0) for the BBBBofC British crown. The Welshman also was the Commonwealth (Empire britannique) 154-livre division titlist.
“Our first meeting was a good fight,” Williams a expliqué. “I felt like I started very well. I was out-boxing him and getting a lot of rounds in the bag. Il venait sur une forte, which we were always prepared for, (parce que) 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.”
Super Channel has aired several major boxing events live in 2017 including Brook vs. Spence Jr., Pacquiao vs.Horn, Eubank, Jr. vs. Abraham, Lomachenko vs. Marriaga, Crawford vs. Indongo and the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) quarts de finale.

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. Heureusement, 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. Dans le ring, 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 les Etats Unis. Now everyone can see it. It’s good for boxing.”
Freddie Roach: “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. Il est une grosse affaire. 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.”
Samedi night’s Super Channel telecast will also feature two-time Irish Olympian Michael Conlan (2-0, 2 KOs), from Belfast, in a six-round featherweight bout against Jarrett “Juarez” Owen (5-4-3, 2 KOs), of Brisbane.In the 12-round co-feature,Fédération internationale de boxe (IBF) junior bantamweight world champion Jerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas (24-1-1, 16 KOs), of Cavite City, Philippines, will defend his title against top-rated contender Teiru Kinoshita (25-1-1, 8 KOs), of Kobe, Japon.

Miguel Cotto (40-5, 33 KOs) is a former WBC and Ring Magazine middleweight world champion and the first native of Puerto Rico to become world champion in four different weight classes. He previously held the WBO junior welterweight world title, the WBA welterweight world title, the WBO welterweight world title and the WBA super welterweight world title. Il a également représenté Porto Rico dans le 2000 Jeux Olympiques de Sydney, Australie. Cotto has competed in 24 combats de championnat du monde, compilant un dossier de 19-5 avec 16 KO dans ces combats. À Porto Rico, he is hailed as a national hero and the successor of Felix “Tito” Trinidad as the island’s most revered boxer. Cotto est l'une des plus grandes attractions de la boxe et l'un des plus grands tirages à la carte parmi les combattants actifs. En juin 2014, Cotto made history in his first fight as a middleweight by dominating Argentine southpaw and defending WBC and Ring Magazine Middleweight World Champion Sergio “Merveille” Martinez. He is trained by legendary Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach and has fought some of the biggest names in the sport including Floyd “Argent” Mayweather et Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao. Cotto possède sa propre entreprise de promotion de boxe à Porto Rico, Miguel Cotto Promotions, et préside son organisation caritative La Fondation Miguel Cotto El Ángel, une organisation à but non lucratif dédiée à la lutte contre l'obésité infantile. En Mars 2015, Cotto et Roc Nation Sports ont annoncé qu’ils avaient conclu un partenariat comprenant un accord de co-promotion avec Miguel Cotto Promotions pour promouvoir les combats de Cotto. Sur Juin 6, 2015, Cotto defended his WBC, Ring Magazine and lineal middleweight world championships against former two-time World Champion Daniel Geale at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Cotto scored a thunderous knockdown early in the fourth round before finishing matters with a second knockdown midway through the round, which left Geale unable to continue. Sur Novembre 21, 2015, Cotto cemented his status as one of the biggest pay-per-view draws among active fighters in his much anticipated mega-fight against Mexico’s Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, despite going the distance for a twelve-round unanimous decision loss. The hard-fought bout has been dubbed as the biggest fight in the history of the famed Puerto Rico vs. Mexico boxing rivalry. The Five-Time World Champion is eager to return to the ring against James Kirkland on Février 25.

 

A Texas titan, representing the city of Austin, 32-year-old southpaw James “Mandingo Warrior” Kirkland (32-2, 28 KOs) has built his reputation with explosive power. His fists have accounted for 28 knockout victories over the course of his nearly 14-year professional career. A former NABO and WBC Continental Americas Champion, Kirkland bounced back from his lone defeat against Nobuhiro Ishida in 2011 with five consecutive wins, four coming by way of knockout. Kirkland has defeated Brian Vera, Alfredo “Perro” Angulo and Carlos “King” Molina and handed Glen “Jersey Boy” Tapia his first professional loss by way of a punishing sixth round technical knockout, prior to taking the stage for a 12-round super welterweight war with Saul “Canelo” Alvarez on May 9, 2015 at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas.

 

Cotto vs. Kirkland is a 12-round junior middleweight fight presented by Roc Nation Sports and Miguel Cotto Promotions and Ford Center at The Star, et est parrainé par Corona Extra.

New York – Champion du monde deux fois, Amanda «La vraie affaire’ Serrano de Caroline, Puerto Rico, mais vivant maintenant à Brooklyn, se battront sur Février 17 à Manhatthan pour le titre vacant du monde poids plume féminin WBO contre l'ancien champion du monde, Olivia Gerula du Canada.
L'ambitieux gaucher portoricain veut devenir le champion du monde incontesté dans la division poids plume, et a un message aux détenteurs actuels du titre.
“Maintenant, Je me concentre uniquement sur Olivia, mais en même temps, je suis très confiant pour amener cette ceinture à Brooklyn et à Porto Rico sur Février 17,” dit Amanda Serrano, qui est promu par DiBella Entertainment.
“Une fois que j'ai cette belle ceinture, nous chercherons à unifier. Il y a Jennifer Han, qui est le champion du monde IBF, Soledad Matthysse est le champion WBC et WBA, et elle combat Jelena Mrdjenovich. Je veux le gagnant!”
“L'unification des quatre titres poids plume est la seule chose qui nous importe. Si nous n'y parvenons pas, Je vais descendre à 122 se battre pour un autre titre mondial, et devenez un champion du monde légitime en quatre divisions, tout comme Miguel Cotto”.
Serrano (26-1-1, 19 KO) vs. Gerula (17-15-2, 3KO) La confrontation aura lieu au célèbre B.B. King Blues Club and Grill marquant le premier combat pour le titre mondial de l’histoire du club.
Sur Août 15, 2014, Serrano a voyagé en Argentine pour faire face à champion du monde WBO léger Maria 'Tily’ Maderna, qui à ce moment-, eu trois défenses de titre avec succès, mais ne pouvait pas gérer l'agressivité du cogneur de puissance portoricaine, et a décidé d'abandonner au sixième tour.
Premier titre règne de Serrano est venu en Septembre 2011, quand elle a éliminé Kimberly Connor au premier tour pour devenir la championne du monde IBF dans la division des super poids plume dans un combat organisé à Brooklyn.
