CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS (Sept. 6, 2015) Anthony “The Dog” Dirrell (28-1-1, 22 KOs) scored an impressive unanimous decision over Marco Antonio “El Veneno” Rubio (59-8-1, 51 KOs) Hnub xya afternoon in the Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) rau CBS main event from the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas.

 

Dirrell proved to be too fast for Rubio as he consistently beat the Mexican veteran to the punch and was able to control the fight. Rubio hung tough throughout the fight, continuing to come forward in his attempts to catch Dirrell.

 

Dirrell won by scores of 100-90 on all three judges scorecards and showed that he still had more left in the tank when he pulled off a backflip in the ring just seconds after the final bell.

 

In the co-main event, Jamie McDonnell (27-2, 12 KOs) used immense pressure to defeat Tomoki “El Mexicanito” Kameda (31-2, 19 KOs) by unanimous decision and retain his bantamweight world title.

 

McDonnell and Kameda went back and forth throughout the 12-round affair that saw McDonnell apply pressure with his consistent jabs while Kameda looked to score with big counters.

 

McDonnell was able to score a knockdown in the final round with a sharp left hook that sent Kameda to the canvas. Kameda and his corner argued that the knockdown should have been ruled a slip, but to no avail. The judges’ scores were 116-11, 115-112 thiab 117-110.

ANTHONY DIRRELL

 

I had an off night when I fought Badou Jack, but everyone saw my jabs and straight punches. I was moving and I was really catching him.

 

“Rubio is a tough fighter but I was able to control the fight with my speed and skills. I felt really good in there.

 

I deserve another shot at a world title.

 

MARCO ANTONIO RUBIO

 

“He was a very fast fighter. I tried to push and push but I could not find him.

“I love boxing. I will get back in the gym and train for another fight because this is what I love to do.

“I appreciate all the fans who supported me today. I fight for them.”

 

JAMIE MCDONNELL

 

“I didn’t think it was a controversial decision, because I always felt in control and I believe that I won the fight comfortably.

 

“My jab was the key in the fight and it was a great weapon for me. I just had to make sure that I stuck to the game plan we had been working on for over eight weeks.

 

When I dropped him in the last round, I think he did slip a little bit, I tried to stay away. But I did catch him. After that I know I sealed the victory.

 

Everything went according to plan. The plan was to box him and catch him with some big shots.

 

TOMOKI KAMEDA

 

I thought I won this fight a lot more clearly than the last fight.

 

I followed our plan perfectly. I did everything right.

ANTHONY DIRRELL

 

“Training was great. No complaints. It was a fantastic camp and all the hard work is done.

 

“I know Rubio is a great fighter. He’s fought the big names and he’s a great veteran. I’m excited to get in the ring with him.

 

“I was flat last fight. No excuses. Everyone has their days. You can’t pick and choose, it just happens. Anybody that knows me knows that I don’t fight like that. It’s in the past and I’m ready to fight Rubio.

 

“I did some more sparring earlier in the camp and that got me into a good rhythm. I’m sharp now and our plan has worked great. Now it’s just about bringing it to the ring on fight day and putting on a show.

 

“I’m looking to go out there and do what I do, which is send people to the doghouse. Whether it’s a statement or not, I just want the victory.”

 

MARCO ANTONIO RUBIO

 

“I have put all my effort into this training camp. We’re prepared to fight Dirrell. He’s tall, he’s strong and he’s very difficult in the ring. I have prepared the way I was supposed to. I love the challenge of a tough opponent.

 

“I was physically tired after my last fight after so many years in boxing. I always knew I would come back, because boxing is my life. I’ve been working for 5 months to get back in shape and I am in great shape.

 

“It was hard to make 160 for the last two or three fights. I left too much in the sauna to make weight. But now at 168 I feel great. This won’t affect my punching power. It’s something new that I’m looking forward to.

 

“I’ve had the right sparring partners this camp. I’m in good shape and I definitely have the right strategy for this fight.

 

“I am coming back at full strength. I see more big fights in the future. I feel great and ready to take on all other fighters.”

 

JAMIE MCDONNELL

 

“I’ve been working on some new techniques and I’m sure he will bring some new things to the table that I don’t expect, but I think I will be able to surprise him too.

 

“I’ve been working on sitting on my punches and creating more power, but also a lot of work on my movement. Defense is important because I got tagged with that right hand that knocked me down last fight.

 

“I just have to put it all together. On fight night it will come together in the ring. I’m feeling fit, the best I’ve ever felt.

 

“We’re looking forward to getting in there and making a statement this time. I want to make a real statement on the world stage. No close victory this time, I’m ready for the big boys.”

 

TOMOKI KAMEDA

 

“Everything in camp has been going well and we know that we will be successful on Sunday hmo ntuj.

 

“This time we have an even better plan than last time. I’m ready for my opponent’s style and anything he can bring to the ring.

 

“I’ve studied McDonnell and I know his weaknesses. We’re planning on taking him out this time. I won’t stop until I have the stoppage.

 

“I thought I won last time and I plan to prove that I am the better fighter and the best at my weight. It was very close, but this time my power and strategy will be too much for him.

 

“We didn’t get the win last time, but I’m lucky to have this opportunity just a few months later on national TV. It’s a big fight for me and I need to win.”

JAMIE MCDONNELL & TOMOKI KAMEDA SHARE THOUGHTS ON MAY SLUGFEST AND UPCOMING REMATCH

PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS ON CBS CO-MAIN EVENT
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 FROM THE AMERICAN BANK CENTER IN CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS
Nyem qhov OS To Watch Their First Fight In Its Entirety
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS (Lub yim hli ntuj 31, 2015) – After a razor thin decision in their first fight, top bantamweights Jamie McDonnell (26-2-1, 12 KOs) thiab TomokiEl MexicanitoKameda (31-1, 19 KOs) will square-off again on the Hnub xya, September 6edition of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) rau CBS live from the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas.
The 12-round bantamweight showdown will kick-off the telecast beginning at 4 p.m. LI/1 p.m. PT and will be headlined by a super middleweight battle between AnthonyThe DogDirrell (27-1-1, 22 KOs) thiab Marco AntonioEl VenenoRubio (59-7-1, 51 KOs).
In the first fight between the United Kingdom’s McDonnell and Japan’s Kameda, which originally aired on the Tej zaum 9 installment of PBC on CBS, McDonnell narrowly took the decision 114-113 on all three judgesscorecards.
In total, the two men combined to throw over 1,000 punches in their first fight, including nearly 800 power punches over the 12 muab suav. Rau September 6, McDonnell and Kameda will go toe-to-toe once again with bantamweight supremacy on the line.
I have a great engine and I always come on strong in the back end of the fight,” said McDonnell. “I think from round six on it was my fight. I started too slowly in the first fight but I worked hard and got the win.
I definitely think I won the first fight,” said Kameda. “I landed the much harder punches and built up enough of an early lead, but the judges saw what they saw. It was a close fight and I know I can change the outcome this time.
One of the key moments in the fight (and one that some thought could have swung the fight in Kameda’s favor) was his third round knockdown of McDonnell via a lightning-fast right hand.
I can remember being on the floor and I didn’t know how I got there,” said McDonnell. “His speed and power is there and I went down. It proves that not everyone is invincible and if you get caught, you are going to go down. We’ve put some work in to counter that power and hopefully that will show on fight night.
Both men are deep into training camp now and have been working on numerous adjustments to keep their opponents guessing coming into the rematch. For Kameda these changes involved a change in coach as he enters his first fight with new trainer Ismael Salas.
I have a completely different team now with Ismael Salas and Angel Heredia and ‘StichDuran as cut man,” said Kameda. “I feel much better going into this fight with better sparring and preparation and it will show in the fight. Salas has a great game plan and Ican’t wait to perform it.
McDonnell is tall, so getting inside his jab took some extra work. He’s a good veteran but I will show I’m the superior fighter once again.
We knew he was going to be fast, he’s the fastest I have ever faced,” said McDonnell. “I got tagged with a right hand but in the rematch I know what to expect now. I’ve sparred against a lad that throws his right hand like Kameda does so I know how to keep out of range for that.
I feel I am hitting harder. I’ve been working on my power in the gym and I feel it’s going to pay off. I’m always in great shape and I’ve been flying in the gym. I am really looking forward to this one.
For McDonnell, it was a successful U.S. debut as he returned home to the United Kingdom victorious. McDonnell has already arrived in Texas as he did before their first fight in order to acclimate to the time and climate changes.
I loved being in America for the last fight and doing the afternoon show,” said McDonnell. “We’ve been to Texas before now and it was a great time so I am happy to be back here and I know what to expect. We’ve brought Ryan Burnett (10-0, 8 KOs) out here to Corpus Christi to spar for the full fortnight, plus my wife, daughter and brother Gavin are all out here with me again.
The two fighters will look to prove their supremacy once again and entertain boxing fans around the world on September 6.
I think it will be a fast paced fight,” said McDonnell. “I started too slowly last time and I don’t want that to happen again. I believe I will stop him late.. I took him into the trenches last time but I didn’t put it on him enough. I think I will make a big statement.
I will look to prepare shots to score points and be victorious,” said Kameda. “If the knockout comes, I will take it. Most important is to get the victory and we will do what we have to do to win. I will not let him back in the fight later on. This time I will start strong and finish him and not let off the gas until I am champion again.
