“I would like to thank Roc Nation Sports, Caribe Promotions and HBO for the opportunity to fight on the biggest Pay-Per-View card of the year. It will be a night of great boxing that fans will not want to miss out on. It’s going to be a chance to show HBO what they want to see. Some say I’m not exciting but it’s not my fault that once my opponents feel my power, they start running and stop throwing punches. Regardless of that, I’m going to give them what they want. I will be standing in the middle of the ring toe-to-toe and putting on a show for the fans. This is where I’ll show the world what my fans got to see in my last fight in the UK against [James] Dickens,” said Rigondeaux. “I want to thank Moises Flores for having the courage to step in the ring with me and accepting the mandatory challenge unlike many great fighters in my division. Moises is an exciting Mexican fighter who will bring a fight. I will be ready to exhibit why I am one of the best pound-for-pound boxers and the world’s best at 122 funti. I’m ready to give fans the best fight out there, and the best is to come the evening of Lipanj 17."

“Roc Nation Sports is thrilled to add Guillermo Rigondeaux’s championship defense against Moises Flores to the Pay-Per-View undercard of Ward-Kovalev 2: ‘The Rematch’,” said Roc Nation President & Chief of Branding and Strategy Michael R. Yormark. “We know these two champions are ready and eager to put on a big performance on boxing’s biggest stage and undoubtedly, ahead of the most anticipated fight of the year.”

 

“TGB Promotions is proud of this world title opportunity for Moises ‘Chucky’ Flores as he takes on one of the premier fighters in the sport, Guillermo Rigondeaux,” said Tom Brown, Predsjednik TGB Promocije. “Chucky is well prepared and looking forward to making the Mexican fans proud of their new World Champion on Lipanj 17."

 

Guillermo “El Chacal” Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 Kos), was one of the most celebrated amateur boxers in Cuba before defecting and making his professional debut on May 22, 2009 u Miamiju, Florida. High expectations had no ill effect on Rigondeaux as he tore through his next five opponents. Studenog 13, 2010, in just his seventh pro fight, Rigondeaux faced Ricardo Cordoba for the vacant interim WBA World Super Bantamweight title and left the ring with the belt after scoring a split decision victory. Rigondeaux turned his attention to supremacy in the 122-pound division and accomplished what many considered the unthinkable by knocking out WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion Rico Ramos on January 20, 2012, becoming a world champion in fewer than 10 profesionalne borbe. Travnja 13, 2013 u Radio City Music Hallu u New Yorku, Rigondeaux scored his biggest victory to date by defeatingWBO and Ring Magazine World Champion and 2012 Fighter of the Year Nonito Donaire. Rigondeaux came away with the victory by unanimous decision after out landing and out punching Donaire throughout the fight to unify titles. In November of 2015, Roc Nation Sports announced that it had signed Rigondeaux to an exclusive promotional agreement and featured him on the HBO Pay-Per-View undercard of the Miguel Cotto vs. Canelo Alvarez mega-fight at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, where he defeated veteran Drian Francisco via a 10-round unanimous decision. Prior to beating Francisco, Rigondeaux was stripped of his title belts due to inactivity, but remained the WBA champion in recess. U svibnju 2016, Roc Nation Sports announced that Rigondeaux was reinstated of his WBA belt ahead of a 12-round WBA World Super Bantamweight championship showdown against number 13 rated WBA super bantamweight contender Jazza Dickens on Srpanj 16 at the Cardiff Ice Arena in Wales. In his first ever appearance in the United Kingdom, Rigondeaux gave fans a thrilling knockout against Dickens. The southpaw landed a big left hook, shattering Dickens’s jaw, halting the fight in the second round with a referee’s decision. Rigondeaux will be raring to go on Lipanj 17 in his title defense against interim champion Moises Flores.

 

Moises “Chucky” Flores (25-0, 17 Kos) learned the fight game growing up in Guadalajara, Meksiko, and spent the early years of his professional career building up his résumé in his home country. Now established as a title contender at 122 funti, Flores looks to climb to the top of the division with his considerable talent. Flores is exceptionally tall for his weight class, measuring in at 5 feet 9 inches. Kao takav, he tends to have a reach advantage over most of his opponents, although Flores isn’t one to merely fire punches from a distance and box from the outside. He likes to mix it up, and his record reflects that, with most of his opponents going down by knockout. Flores made his pro debut in August 2008 with a second round knockout of Oswaldo Salgado in Guadalajara, Meksiko. He fought exclusively in Mexico over the first six years of his career and made quick work of most of his opponents. Flores made his U.S. debut in September 2014, winning a six round unanimous decision over Pablo Batres in Mesquite, Teksas. He then gained a seventh round technical knockout of Mexican veteran Mario Macias in Tulsa, Oklahoma, u studenom 2014. That victory set up a 122-pound title shot against interim WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion Oscar Escandon in Carson, Kalifornija, u travnju 2015. In an electrifying, all-action brawl, Flores earned a split decision to win the title. In his last two fights, Flores was able to defend the interim WBA World Super Bantamweight title against Luis Emanuel Cusolito, while also adding the IBO World Super Bantamweight title against Paulus Ambunda. Flores looks forward to claiming the full rights to the WBA World Super Bantamweight title on Lipanj 17 when he faces current champion Guillermo Rigondeaux in a 12-round championship showdown.

CARSON, Kalif. (Travanj 18, 2015) – Confident and determined, Andrzej “The PolishPrinc” Fonfara (27-3, 16 Kos) spoiled the ring return of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.. (48-2-1, 32 Kos) in resounding fashion Subota noć, flooring the former middleweight champion one time en route to a one-sided ninth-round TKO in the main event ofSHOWTIME PRVENSTVO Boks živjeti SHOWTIME.

 

Fonfara, of Chicago by way of Radon, Poljska, dropped Chavez, of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Meksiko, with a wide left hook 50 seconds into the ninth round before a boisterous crowd of 8,636 predominately-Chavez fans at StubHub Center. It was the first time in 52 professional fights that Chavez had hit the canvas from a punch.

 

Upon returning to the corner, Chavez could be heard on the telecast telling trainer Joe Goossen that he had hurt his right leg and could no longer continue. Nekoliko trenutaka kasnije, the fight was halted. The busier and more accurate fighter throughout, Fonfara was comfortably ahead on the three judgesscorecards by scored of 89-80 a 88-81 twice after nine full rounds.

 

Offered an ecstatic Fonfara, who had his fair share of Polish fans at the venue: “I knew he was a tough fighter, quick and in good shape but when he hit me for the first time in the first round, I knew I was going to win this fight. He didn’t punch as hard as everybody said he did.

 

I saw his punches easily coming in. I know I threw more punches. I was a little surprised that he did not come out for the (10th) but he was cut, had been getting beat up and had just got knocked down, so he knew what would happen if he came out.

 

Chavez said before the fight that he didn’t think I could take his body punches. I think I took them pretty good and passed that test.

 

I know there are things I can still work on in training to become a more complete boxer, alivečeras was a dream come true. I want a rematch with (Laki svjetski prvak u teškoj kategoriji) Adonis Stevenson.

 

Said Chavez, the son of legendary Mexican icon, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. in the ring afterward and before he was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure, “Maybe 170,172 pounds is too big for me, maybe I’ll go back down. I’m not sure what my future holds. It was a very tough fight. But I congratulate Andrzej.

 

Goossen told reporters afterward that he hadstopped the fight. It was my decision. I didn’t like what I saw. ”

 

In the first half of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader, undefeated world-ranked super lightweight Amir sam (17-0, 14 Kos), of Davie, Florida, putem Albany, NY, won a lopsided 10-round decision over Walter “Čekić” Dvorac.

 

The talented, versatile, Imam, 24, controlled a fight that featured numerous exchanges especially early on with a left jab and straight right hand.

 

My combinations were effective the whole night, we stuck to our gameplan and came out victorious,” said Imam. “I want any of the world champions next”.

 

Dvorac, who saw a nine-fight winning streak come to an end, rekla “Mislio sam da sam pobijedio borbu. I didn’t get credit for the punches I threw. The judge who scored it 100-90; dobro, that gives me no chance to win here. The cut bothered me in the early rounds, but was not a factor after.

 

Ranije Subota, on SHOWTIME EXTREME, neporažen Moises “El Chucky” Cvijeće (23-0, 16 Kos), od Guadalajara, Meksiko, captured the WBA Super Bantamweight Interim World Championship with a thrilling 12-round split decision over defending champion Oscar Escandon (24-2 16 Kos), of Tolima, Kolumbija.

 

Cvijeće, čineći njegov 2015 debut and third start in a row in the United States, trijumfirali po ocjenama 116-112 dva puta i 113-115.

 

An emotional Flores was near tears afterward. “To je ostvarenje sna – more than a dream come true – za mene,” rekao je. “I saw my family on the beach, eating meat. I saw my babies better dressed. For me this is a life-changing victory and, da, I thought it was very, very close but I absolutely feel I won.

 

I want to fight the best next, the top guys at 122 pounds and right now the top guy is Leo Santa Cruz. That’s who I’d like to fight next. I really want to thank all my team, from top to bottom, for giving me this wonderful opportunity. We’re very happy that we joined the Al Haymon team. We’re very loyal and we just really appreciate everything they’ve done for us.

 

Escandon felt he’d done enough to win despite injuring the right index finger on his right hand in the seventh round.

I did all that I could, everything was in my reach, but I think I broke or fractured my finger,” rekao je. “In boxing things happen that are out of your control. Because I hurt my hand, I couldn’t throw punches the way I wanted to with my right hand. I tried to do all I could with it. But I didn’t want to injure it further. I’m OK, but I definitely would love a rematch.

 

In the SHOWTIME EXTREME co-feature, super velter Omar “El Businessman”Chavez (33-3-1, 22 Kos), of Culiacan, the younger brother of Chavez, Jr. and son of legendary Julio Cesar Sr., won an exciting, teško borio, give-and-take eight-round unanimous decision over Richard Gutierrez (28-16-1, 17 Kos), of Arjona, Kolumbija.

Chavez won by the scores of 78-75 dva puta i 77-74. Nije bilo nokdauna.

 

Unbeaten Argentine welterweight Fabian “TNT” Maidana (6-0, 5 Kos), Santa Fe, Argentina, the brother of former world champion Markos Maidana, registered a second-round TKO (32 sekundi u krugu) over outclassed Cory Vom Baur (2-3), of Vancouver, Pranje.

What the fighters, trainers and executives said Četvrtak:

 

Julio César CHAVEZ JR., Bivši svjetski prvak

I had a great training camp. I feel better than ever. I am ready for the fight.

 

I know that this is a new weight class for me. I realize that Fonfara is very tough and bigger than me, but I am up for the challenge.

 

I have worked on my boxing during my one year off, and I am very excited and motivated to get back in the ring.

 

I have worked so hard for this fight because I am fighting in a new weight class. I must punch harder, so I have focused on getting stronger during this training camp.

 

I have a great chin, I know how to take punches and my conditioning is great. A lot of fighters can take a punch, but I can take multiple punches and not be hurt.

 

I think that Andrzej Fonfara is one of the best fighters in the light heavyweight division. Inside of boxing, everyone knows who Fonfara is. He knocked down one of the best boxers in the world in Adonis Stevenson.

 

Fonfara is disciplined in the ring, but he doesn’t vary his punches.

 

I understand that my dad didn’t want me to take this fight. I had bigger names I could’ve fought, but I think that Fonfara is a great challenge for me and I like the challenge.

 

I would like to thank SHOWTIME for making this fight happen.

 

Andrzej Fonfara, World Title Challenger

I’m prepared very well and I’m ready for this fight. It’s been a great camp like always. I train hard for each fight. I’m a tough boxer who is feeling great. The weight is good and everything is perfect.

 

I must put everything into Subota night and I will win the fight.

 

I must look even better than I did against Stevenson. Everyone said I looked good, but I lost the fight. I didn’t want congratulations because I did not win the fight. But this time I will win the fight. I’m ready for a decision or for a knockout.

 

I’m ready with a couple of plans. I don’t want to run around the ring, I want to fight tough. I’m going to use my jab and my right hand, which is my best punch.

 

I’m not worried about what his father said about not fighting me. Chavez Jr.. wants to fight and I will show him that his father was right.

 

It doesn’t matter how I win, I want to win this fight and get my rematch with Adonis Stevenson.

 

“Chavez Jr.. je veliki borac. He uses a lot of combinations and has a powerful punch that I must be ready for. I want to show the whole world how good I am when I win this fight u subotu.

 

If I get the chance, Ja ću ga nokautirati. It’s boxing so you never know what will happen. I want to box round-by-round and win this fight.

 

I lost the fight with Stevenson but I showed that I was a good boxer. I’m a much smarter fighter now because of that experience. That was a fight at the top championship level.

 

It doesn’t matter what Chavez Jr. says at a press conference, we’ll be in the ring Subotaand everything will happen there.

 

Fan’s can expect heavy punches, knockdowns and a great fight.

 

AMIR LJUBAV, Neporažena Super Lagan kandidat

I’m confident going into this fight because of how I train. I have put my heart and soul into this sport since I moved to Florida three years ago. I left everything behind to better myself.

 

I’m going to stay smart and composed in there and do everything I can to get the win.

 

I don’t feel like I need the knockout to come away with a successful fight. Ali, you better believe that if there is an opportunity to knock him out, then I will take advantage of it.

 

“U 2015, Želim postati svjetski prvak. This is my breakout year. A lot of people have been buzzing about me. I want to become the WBC world champion, that’s what I’m heading for.

 

“Znam da je [Dvorac] a good opponent, he’s got a great resume, and he’s coming to fight. He has a great record, so that alone shows what he’s capable of. Kao što Subota night may the better man win.

 

I’ve boxed styles like [njegov] plenty of times, but you never know, he could come out different Subotanoć.

 

I’m ready to put on a great show for the SHOWTIME audience.

 

CASTILLO WALTER, Super Lagan kandidat

I’m coming here to fight. I can tell you one thing, Amir Imam made a big mistake by taking this fight.

 

I’ve fought a lot of tough fighters; my two losses were by decisions where I feel I was robbed. I’ve fought better fighters than Amir has.

 

“Kao što Subota, I’m going to announce to the whole world that Walter Castillo is here to stay and he’s going to be a world champion.

SR Julio César CHAVEZ.

Being in Los Angeles is like being in Mexico for me; I have had many great memories. I became the world champion for this first time here and my son also became the world champion for the first time here, previše.

 

Julio definitely has a very difficult fight ahead of him.

 

If I was Julio’s manager, I wouldn’t have taken this fight. Fonfara is a difficult and tough fighter.

 

My son wants to fight fighters of quality and wants credibility in boxing.

 

Julio has worked and trained very hard for this fight .He has the capability to win and we expect that it will go very well.

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez’ Trener

Julio has a window here the next five, six, seven years that he can capitalize on.

 

I think he’s left the childish stuff behind, and we’re all guilty of being childish.

 

I think that Julio has surprised his father with his determination heading into this fight.

He’s got a left hook to the liver that just sends a shock through your body.

 

He’s not soft. He’s a real fighter. I have been around enough fighters to know that he’s a real fighter. Broj jedan, he has the never-say- die attitude in there.

 

We’re up against a very well-schooled, blue collar, workmanlike fighter in Fonfara.

 

He is an athletic, improvisational fighter, in that you don’t know where everything’s coming from.

 

I’ve watched a lot of Fonfara tape, and he pretty much repeats what he does, but he repeats it well.

 

This is going to be a battle. You’ve got two contrasting styles and personalities.

 

Julio has 51 fights under his belt. He’s no rookie and he comes from a great bloodline. (In the short time I’ve been with him, it has been) more of an association than a dictatorial effort between the two of us.

 

Based on former camps, he’s never really extracted himself from comfortable surroundings and put himself in a position where he is completely isolated like he was in Lake Tahoe.

 

SAM COLONNA, Fonfara’s Trainer

Fonfara could turn it up whenever. He could be down on the scorecards and one punch he throws could change someone’s world. He’s proven in the past that he has power in both hands.

 

The styles in this fight are perfect for each other. When people ask about the fight I say it could go either way, it depends on who catches the other first.

 

I’m looking for Fonfara to dominate, but Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is a warrior, he comes to fight, he knows how to go to the body like his father used to, so we’ve been working on all of these strategies.

 

A knockout win would be a dream come true to me. That’s what I’ve been looking for all these years. Winning this huge fight would change everything for Fonfara and myself.

 

This camp that Andrzej had was the best we’ve ever had. He worked hard, he had time to train and there’s no excuses.

 

We’re coming to fight a war. Don’t forget that wars are won by strategy.

 

People say to listen to your father. His father told him not to take this fight, but he took it anyway and that was a mistake.

 

I see this fight not going past 10 kola, with us getting the knockout.

 

STACY MCKINLEY, Imamove trener

Amir has always trained very hard, but I did see a change in him in this training camp after the last fight. He has stepped up his training by two levels.

 

He learned a lot about his fight against [Fidel Maldonado] under the bright SHOWTIME lights at the MGM Grand.

 

Amir is always confident going into each fight, but he made a mistake in the Maldonado fight. He rolled his right hand and forgot about the left hand and was knocked down. He had to pay for his mistakes but it’s all a learning experience, he still has only 16 professional fights under his belt.

 

Castillo has a great jab and good combinations. A guy like that throws a lot of punches, but there is a technique to breaking down a fighter like that.

 

We can’t spend a lot of time on the ropes, and we must go after his body because his body is weak. Castillo is going to get knocked out u subotu.

 

I think that Amir is going to open up a lot of eyes u subotu.”

Julio Cesar Chavez, nedvojbeno najveći meksički borac svih vremena, napravio jedan nastup tijekom svog sina treninga pokazati svoju podršku i ponuda riječi ohrabrenja.

 

Evo što je Chavez Jr., Julio Cesar Chavez and Joe Goossen (trener) morao reći Petak u Los Angeles-područje teretanu:

 

Julio César CHAVEZ JR., Bivši svjetski prvak

I am very focused going into this fight. I have changed a lot mentally this past year.

 

I am fighting [Andrzej] Fonfara now because I like big opponents. I like the challenge of fighting good, hungry fighters. Just because Fonfara doesn’t have the name recognition of other fighters, it doesn’t make him an easy fighter. On je tvrd.

 

I feel comfortable at light heavyweight. Any time that you can add a couple pounds, you feel better. Although I will be fighting at 175, I feel most comfortable at 168 kao boksač. Since I have had one year off, it was a better choice to fight at this weight so that I could see how my body feels.

 

Since I have added a few pounds, I have become a more physical and stronger boxer. The light heavyweight division has very big and physical contenders.

 

“Joe [Goossen] is a great trainer. He is a great motivator to his fighters and makes them better. I have worked very hard with him for the 35 days we spent together in Lake Tahoe.

 

When I was training with Freddie Roach, it was very different. I think Freddie is a great trainer, but Joe also has a lot of experience and we have made a connection together.

 

I really liked training in Lake Tahoe. The altitude, prsten, everything I needed was there. I felt very comfortable up there and I would like to come back there to train for a fight again.

 

I promise a great fight, this is a very exciting fight. Fonfara isn’t an easy opponent, but he has never seen an opponent like me.

 

 

SR Julio César CHAVEZ.

I am here to support and be with my son. I try to give him good advice. I tell him to train and prepare hard, and fortunately he is doing that well.

 

I think Joe [Goossen] is doing a great job, we are on the same page. We are all focused on him [Chavez mlađi] getting to the fight well prepared. This fight requires great preparation because he is going into the fight at a weight that’s higher than his normal weight and he is facing a very tough opponent.

 

He must go in 100 percent to win this fight.

 

I think there has been a 180 degree turn in his career. I see this as a positive because he can really develop his ability and looks very well prepared.

 

I would’ve liked to have seen him take a tune up fight instead because of his long layoff; I particularly didn’t want this fight.

 

“Srpanj [Chavez mlađi] wants credibility in this sport and that’s why he made the decision to take this fight, even though it’s a dangerous decision. He must be very prepared for this fight.

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez Jr.s’ Trener

I’ve been asked over the years who the one fighter was that I would like to work and my answer was always Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

 

I’ve always really admired his style. I had known him as a kid, his father is a legend. It had always seemed like a dream job for me, and out of nowhere I got it.

 

Lake Tahoe was tremendous for training camp. You are isolated and it’s not an easy thing. When you aren’t training you are sitting in a hotel room. You are deprived the comforts of home, but it really gives you that concentration and dedication factor and I think that will interpret into some positive results.

 

I matured over my years, once I had a kid and a family and I think the same has happened with Julio. Life becomes clearer when you put away the immaturity. You realize that you have a future and if you really want to access what’s available to you, then you are going to have to work hard and dedicate yourself to it.

 

Going to Lake Tahoe and really working hard is a sign of maturity and I think that’s what Julio is going through right now. He really showed it by leaving his home and spending an extended period of time up there. To me that is a great indicator that he is mature, dedicated and taking this fight very seriously.

 

Of course I believe Julio is ready to fight Fonfara. The fight was made before I even came on board, but that’s the challenge that I am presented with. You must figure out a good game plan and figure out what you’re up against.

 

Just because Julio has been out a year doesn’t mean that it’s going to be a cake walk for Fonfara. We went up to Lake Tahoe with one thing in mind, and that’s winning this fight and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.
