Liam Smith vs. Liam Williams rematch To air in Canada exclusively on SUPER CHANNEL

לעבן דעם שבת from the United Kingdom
(ל-ר) – ליאַם סמיט, promoter Frank Warren, Liam Williams
(picture courtesy of Queensbury Promotions)
עדמאָנטאָן, קאַנאַדע (נאָוועמבער 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 LiamBeefy” סמיט ווס. Liam Williams רימאַטש, דעם שבת (נאוועמבער. 11), live from Metro Radio Arena in New Castle, אמעריקאנער קינגדאָם.
The replay of סמיט ווס. Williams I from this past April will also air on Super Channel דעם פרייטיק(11 פּ.ם. / 8 פּ.ם. פּט) און שבת (1:45 פּ.ם. און / 10:45 אַ.ם. פּט).
די סמיט ווס. ווילליאַמס וו קאָרט, presented by Frank Warren’s Queensbury Promotions andסטאַרטינג בייַ 3 פּ.ם. און / 12 פּ.ם. פּט, will be a 12-round World Boxing Organization (וובאָ) super welterweight title eliminator with the winner positioned to fight the winner of the WBO title fight between defending champion מיגעל קאָטטאָ און טשאַללענגער סאַדאַם עלי אין דעצעמבער. קוקט, אָבער, claims that he will retire after that fight. Williams is presently rated No. 2 דורך די וובאָ, Smith No. 4, ווי ווויל ווי קיין. 7 in The Ring magazine’s independent rankings.
Additional Smith vs. Williams II card fights airing שבת 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,” האט Troy Wassill, Director of Programming, 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, סמיט (25-1-1, 14 קאָס) won a controversial fight last April when Williams retired after the ninth round, despite leading on all three judgesscorecards 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 “זשימי” Kilrain Kelly (16-0) און Predrag Radosevic (30-1), stopping them in the seventh and second rounds, ריספּעקטיוולי.
Smith lost his belt to star שאול “קאַנעלאָ” אַלוואַרעז 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, וק. 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. עס זענען 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. Regardless, 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.
ווילליאַמס, 25, has notable victories over Gabor Gorbics (22-4) for the vacant WBO European super middleweight title, און Gary Corcoran (15-0) for the BBBBofC British crown. The Welshman also was the Commonwealth (בריטיש Empire) 154-פונט אָפּטייל טיטליסט.
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. ער איז געווען קומען אויף שטאַרק, which we were always prepared for, (ווייַל) 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 peopleto fight for their rights.
I know Jeff Horn used to be a teacher. אין די רינג, 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 די יוז. Now everyone can see it. It’s good for boxing.
FREDDIE ראָוטש: 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. It’s a big deal. 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 dancingnot wellbut 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.
שבת night’s Super Channel telecast will also feature two-time Irish Olympian Michael Conlan (2-0, 2 קאָס), from Belfast, in a six-round featherweight bout against דזשאַררעטט “וואַרעז” Owen (5-4-3, 2 קאָס), of Brisbane.In the 12-round co-feature,אינטערנאַציאָנאַלער באָקסינג פעדעראַטיאָן (יבף) junior bantamweight world champion Jerwin “שיין יינגל” Ancajas (24-1-1, 16 קאָס), of Cavite City, פיליפינען, will defend his title against top-rated contender Teiru Kinoshita (25-1-1, 8 קאָס), of Kobe, דזשאַפּאַן.

In a battle of Top-10 pound for pound fighters, Pacquiao sent Bradley to the canvas twice en route to a dominant 12-round unanimous decision victory. אויף נאוועמבער. 5, Pacquiao regained the WBO welterweight title for a third time when he shellacked the once-defeated defending champion דזשעסי Vargas via another dominant 12-round unanimous decision.

מיגועל קאָטטאָ (40-5, 33 קאָס) 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. He also represented Puerto Rico in the 2000 אָלימפּיק גאַמעס אין סידני, אויסטראַליע. Cotto has competed in 24 world championship fights, compiling a record of 19-5 מיט 16 knockouts in those bouts. In Puerto Rico, he is hailed as a national hero and the successor of Felix “טיטאָ” Trinidad as the island’s most revered boxer. Cotto is one of the biggest gate attractions in boxing and one of the largest pay-per-view draws among active fighters. אין יוני 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 “ווונדער” מאַרטינעז. He is trained by legendary Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach and has fought some of the biggest names in the sport including Floyd “געלט” Mayweather and Manny “פּאַקמאַן” פּאַקקוויאַאָ. Cotto owns his own boxing promotional company in Puerto Rico, מיגועל קאָטטאָ פּראָמאָטיאָנס, and presides over his charity La Fundación El Ángel de Miguel Cotto, a non-profit organization dedicated to combatting childhood obesity. אין מאַרץ 2015, Cotto and Roc Nation Sports announced that they had entered into a partnership that includes a co-promotional agreement with Miguel Cotto Promotions to promote Cotto’s fights. אויף יוני 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, ניו יארק. 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. אויף נאוועמבער 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 פעברואַר 25.

 

A Texas titan, representing the city of Austin, 32-year-old southpaw James “Mandingo Warrior” Kirkland (32-2, 28 קאָס) has built his reputation with explosive power.

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, טעקסאַס.
