San Juan, PUERTO RICO – March 4, 2021 – Former world title challenger Brandon Adams scored the biggest win of his career with a stunning eighth-round technical knockout to upset blue-chip rising star Serhii Bohachuk in the main event of Ring City USA’s inaugural 2021 event from Felix Pagan Pintor Gym in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, and live on NBC Sports Network.

Despite flashing athleticism and quick hands throughout the fight, Adams (23-3, 15 KOS) was down on all three scorecards (68-64 x2, 69-63) at the time of the stoppage. The 31-year-old lost all three rounds heading into the eighth frame when he unleashed a perfectly placed counterpunch that hurt Bohachuk which set up the opportunity to land a sensational left hook that sent Bohachuk to the canvas for the first time in his professional career.

”Han var en hård fyr,”Sagde Adams. “He brought another side out of me that I knew was inside. I had to dig in deep tonight and use all the strength that I had to connect with one of those punches from the cannon.”

Adams, who hails from Watts, California, is the first fighter to return to the Ring City USA series on NBC Sports Network since its inception in November 2020. In two outings on the Thursday night boxing series, he has scored two emphatic knockouts in main event performances. Adams’ matchup with Bohachuck was originally scheduled for December but his opponent was forced to withdraw after testing positive for COVID-19. Adams went on to stop Sonny Duversonne in the second round of that event at Wild Card Boxing Club in Los Angeles.

“It was real tough fighting in there tonight,” continued Adams. “The ring was wet; the ref was against me tonight. It was an uphill battle. I am an explosive fighter and I couldn’t take advantage of that because I didn’t have my legs under me because the ring was wet. But even though I was irritated, the show must go on. I am a pro. I have to figure out how to get the W and that’s what I had to do. I am grateful for the win. I loved Puerto Rico, everyone out here embraced me with love.”

Bohachuk, who is originally from Vinitza, Ukraine, and now resides in Los Angeles, entered the fight with a pristine professional record, highlighted by his 100% knockout percentage through 18 slagsmål. The 25-year-old dropped the first round on all three score cards but went on to control the pace against the veteran Adams for most of the fight by cutting off the ring and exhibiting steady body work.

“I thought he was dominating the fight,” said Bohachuk’s head trainer Manny Robles. “I told him to watch out for that left hook. I told him if he took away that left hook then he would control the fight. It takes a couple of rounds for Serhii to get warmed up, but he looked good and his defense was actually really improving until that knockout.”

I aftenens co-main event, super featherweight prospectBryan Chevalier (15-1-1, 12 KOS) af Bayamon, Puerto Rico, scored an impressive third-round knockout againstCarlos Zambrano (26-2, 11 KOS). Chevalier, 26, returned to the ring following a 15-month layoff yet showed no signs of ring rust as he scored a quick knockdown in the first round. I tredje runde, he scored back-to-back knockdowns, highlighted by a thudding left hand to the midsection that sent Peru’s Zambrano to the canvas and unable to beat the count.

“I had the height and youth advantage tonight, but he had the experience,” said Chevalier. “I had to figure out what he was going to bring and adapt in order to get the victory. Jeg er meget tilfreds med min præstation. I am the best 126-pounder in all of Puerto Rico.”

Opening the telecast on NBC Sports Network, Puerto RicoDanielito Zorrilla (15-0, 11 KOS) and Kazakhstan’sRuslan Madiyev (13-2, 5 KOS) engaged in an exciting back-and-forth battle. The 28-year-old Madiyev brought the fight to Zorilla with relentless pressure while the tactical Zorilla countered well. I femte runde, Madiyev was docked a point for a punch behind the head and at 1:16 of the eighth round, referee Janny Gomez called a halt to the bout due to another punch behind the head, which was deemed an accidental foul. The 27-year-old Zorrilla earned a technical decision victory as two of the scorecards favored the Puerto Rican (77-75, 77-74) while the third was tallied in favor of Madiyev (76-73). Ring City’s unofficial scorer Steve Smoger saw the fight 76-75 in favor of Zorrilla.

“Ruslan was just getting his groove,” said head trainer Joel Diaz after the fight. “He was getting stronger after the fifth round and Zorrilla was getting tired. He kept hugging Ruslan during most of the fight. Personligt, I think Zorrilla wanted out of the fight.”

Madiyev exited the ring quickly upon the decision being announced but Diaz voiced his opinion about the end of the bout.

“He wasn’t hurt, he’s a good actor,” continued Diaz. “Zorrilla should be a telenovela actor. We were winning that fight, and this isn’t fair for my fighter because he put in the work. But what can you do? We gotta keep moving forward.”

Danielito Zorrilla is currently in stable condition and was taken to the hospital following the bout to receive routine tests.

Earlier in the evening, live in the U.S. and around the world on Twitch, Ring City USA presented three four-round fights. In the main event of the Twitch undercard, Fernando Vargas, Jr.(2-0, 2 KOS) earned his second professional win in impressive fashion, scoring a first-round technical knockout against El Salvador’sSalome Flores Torres (0-3). The 24-year-old Vargas, Jr., under the tutelage of his father – two-time super welterweight world champion Fernando Vargas, Sr., sent Torres to the canvas twice before the fight was waved off.

“With every fight, I will continue to grow and listen to my father,” said Vargas, Jr. “This was just my second pro fight. We were looking for the knockout, but the TKO is OK. I was establishing my jab to get my distance and then unleashed my left hand.”

In his hometown of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, Harold Laguna (2-0, 2 KO) worked the body early and often en route to a first-round knockout victory overDarwin Alvarez (0-1). In the first fight of the evening, Puerto Rican prospectJorge Diaz (1-0, 1 KO) picked up his first professional victory againstFelipe Munoz (0-1) via second-round knockout.

Calling all the action ringside in Puerto Rico was former two-time welterweight champion Shawn Porter joined by NBC Sports blow-by-blow commentator Bob Papa. Brian Campbell served as fight night analyst with Curran Bhatia reporting from ringside. The executive producers of tonight’s presentation ofBohachuk vs. Adams on NBC Sports Network were Eric Weinberger, Jeff Huggins & Frank Samuel. The telecast was produced by David Gibson and directed by Matt Celli.

Tonight’s full three-fight telecast will be available to watch on-demand on the NBC Sports App with authenticated sign-in.

Tilbagevenden til Ring City USA har to stærkt konkurrencedygtige matchups med krigere på unikke tidspunkt i deres professionelle boksekarriere. On marts 4, ubesejret blå-chip stigende stjerneSerhii Bohachuk (18-0, 18 KOS) møder tidligere mellemvægt titel udfordrerBrandon Adams (22-3, 13 KOS) i en 10-runde super weltervægt hovedbegivenhed. To uger senere i marts 18, Ring City præsenterer det næste kapitel i Puerto Rico vs.. Mexico ring rivalisering, når tidligere super fjervægt verdens titlisteAlberto Machado(22-2, 18 KOS) står over for ubesejrede udsigter Hector Tanajara(19-0, 5 KOS) i en 10-runde letvægts hovedbegivenhed. Ring Citys begivenheder i marts sendes direkte fra Puerto Rico, da virksomheden fortsætter med at udnytte boksens rige historiske placeringer.

Kampen mellem Bohachuk og Adams var oprindeligt planlagt til toppen i december 3 Ring City-begivenhed på Wild Card Boxing Club i Los Angeles, men Bohachuk blev tvunget til at trække sig tilbage efter at have testet positivt for COVID-19.

”Vi er begejstrede for at starte 2021 med to vejkryds hovedkampe kampe i Puerto Rico,”Sagde chef for boksning Evan Rutkowski. ”Serhii Bohachuk har chompet for at komme tilbage i ringen og i marts 4 han vil møde den farligste modstander i sin karriere i Brandon Adams. Så to uger senere er vi lige tilbage på NBC Sports Network og Twitch med stigende ubesejret udsigten Hector Tanajara, der kæmper med den tidligere verdensmester Alberto Machado fra Puerto Rico i et klassisk Mexico vs.. Puerto Rico-rivaliseringskamp. ”

Den hårdtslående Bohachuk, som i øjeblikket er rangeret syvende af WBC og niende af IBF ved 154 pounds, har damprullet gennem modstand på vej til en 18-0 rekord, som alle er kommet via knockout. Træning med Manny Robles ud af Legends Boxing Academy, den 25-årige beviste sig med en knockout-sejr over Tyrone Brunson i oktober 2019. Senest, han udførte en elektrisk forestilling i september 2020 da han slog Alejandro Davila ud i seks runder. Den ukrainsk-fødte Bohachuk, som forfremmes af Tom Loeffler 360 Kampagner og Ural boksning, fortsætter med at tage den sydlige Californiens bokseverden med storm med sine dominerende forestillinger i ringen og magnetisk personlighed ud af ringen.

”Jeg ser frem til at forsvare min titel mod Brandon Adams i marts 4 i Puerto Rico på NBC Sports Network,”Sagde Bohachuk. ”Jeg vil takke Ring City og mine promotorer for denne mulighed. Dette burde være en stor kamp for fansen. Jeg er ked af, at vi ikke kunne gøre det i december, men nu taler folk endnu mere om denne kamp. Jeg stiller endnu et spændende show til fansen. ”

Efter Bohachuks positive COVID-19 resultat, Adams mødte Sonny Duversonne i Ring Citys hovedbegivenhed den dec. 3. Adams skænkede Duversonne kun få kilometer væk fra sin hjemby Watts, Calif., med en imponerende knockout-sejr i anden runde. Den kamptestede Adams, der arbejder med dygtig træner Dub Huntley, udfordrede WBC mellemvægt titelholder Jermall Charlo om titlen i 2019 efter at have besejret Shane Mosley Jr.. for at vinde Epix Television Series "The Contender." Adams kan prale af en formidabel gruppe af sparringpartnere, inklusive Shawn Porter og Gennadiy Golovkin. Adams startede konkurrencedygtig træning i en alder 19, kæmpede sin første amatørkamp i en alder 20 og blev professionel i alderen 21. Han fremmes af Banner Promotions and Tournament of Contenders.

”Jeg ser frem til at vende tilbage til Ring City i marts og vise mere vækst, når Serhii og jeg endelig kommer ind i ringen i Puerto Rico,”Sagde Adams.

Machado (22-2, 18 KOS), der kommer fra Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, vil kæmpe på øen for første gang siden 2017 og 14th tid i sin professionelle karriere. I 2017, Machado erobrede WBA's superfjervægt i verdensklasse mod Jezreel Corrales via ottende runde knockout. Machado forsvarede med succes verdensmesterskabet to gange i 2018 inden han mistede bæltet til Andrew Cancio i februar 2019. Senere i 2019, Machado rykkede op til letvægts og scorede en anden runde knockout over Luis Porozo. Den 30-årige er i øjeblikket rangeret 12th af både WBA og WBO. Southpaw gjorde sig bemærket på det Puerto Ricanske amatørkredsløb, konkurrerer i AIBA Youth World Championships og 2012 Olympiske kvalifikationer.

”Det har været en trist og tvungen hvile på grund af Coronavirus men, for mig, min krop havde brug for denne hvile. Jeg er spændt på, at jeg efter fire år vender tilbage for at kæmpe igen hjemme i Puerto Rico,”Sagde Machado. ”Jeg takker Miguel Cotto-kampagner, H2 Kampagner, Golden Boy og Ring City USA for at give mig denne mulighed for at overføre dette fantastiske kort. Hector Tanajara, Jr. er en stor fighter, der også søger at bryde igennem i letvægtsafdelingen. Jeg håber, han kommer klar og det 135 har min plads reddet, fordi jeg hører hjemme her, og den 18. marts demonstreres det. ”

Tanajara (19-0, 5 KOS) vil tage den hårdeste test i sin karriere, når han møder Machado på sit hjemmebane. Født og opvokset i San Antonio, Texas, Tanajara (19-0, 5 KOS) kommer ud af kampene i sin hjemby for første gang i sin professionelle karriere i januar 2020 da han overtog den tidligere verdensudfordrer Juan Carlos Burgos, som han slog overbevisende via enstemmig beslutning. Den 24-årige er fortsat med at stige op i de lette rækker siden han blev proff 2015. I Machado, han vil stå over for en ny udfordring ved at tage på en Southpaw fighter for første gang i sin professionelle karriere med 19 kampe. Tanajara kæmper under vejledning af den verdensberømte træner Robert Garcia.

”Jeg er begejstret for at komme tilbage i ringen,”Sagde Tanajara. ”Det har været lidt over et år, og jeg har trænet hårdt hele tiden med at være klar til den, der er. Vi fik endelig en modstander, og jeg er klar til at vise verden, hvem jeg er, og hvad jeg kan gøre med de bedste fyre i divisionen. ”

Opkald til hele handlingssiden i Puerto Rico vil være den tidligere to-gangs weltervægtsmester Shawn Porter, der får følgeskab af NBC Sports blow-by-blow-kommentator Bob Papa. Brian Campbell vil fungere som kampnatanalytiker med Curran Bhatia rapportering fra ringside.

Fuld kortoplysninger vil blive annonceret på et senere tidspunkt.

SAN ANTONIO (Juli 23, 2016) – Undefeated prospect Fabian Maidana (10-0, 7 KOS) scored a seventh-round technical knockout victory over Jorge Maysonet Jr. (13-2, 11 KOS) Saturday night in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions på NBCSN from the Scottish Rite Auditorium in San Antonio.
With his brother, former world champion Marcos Maidana, sitting at ringside, the Argentine-slugger overcame a slow start and a first-round bloody nose for a sensational one-sided beat-down of the Puerto Rican brawler Maysonet, who failed to answer the bell for the seventh round of Saturday’s main event.
Referee Rafael Ramos, acting on the advice of Maysonet’s corner, called the fight as Maidana dominated the punch stats with a 60-22 advantage in overall punches, 49-15 in power shots, og 11-7 in jabs.
Maysonet came to fight and pressed Maidana from the beginning, eventually, nailing Maidana with a right hand to the nose that opened up a steady flow of blood.
Sensing the urgency, Maidana stormed back in the second, rocking Maysonet with a right hand, left hook combination with just over 10 seconds to go in a round in which he out-landed Maysonet 12-4 in power shots.
Maidana’s kept up a versatile attack in the third round using head movement, stick-and-move tactics and a varied assortment of punches to keep up his advantage over Maysonet.
Maidana turned the match in his favor in the next round, delivering an impressive battering of Maysonet over the final 20 seconds of the round.
The Argentine was even more dominant in the one-sided fifth and sixth rounds, doubling up on his hooks, firing straight rights and landing head-snapping shots that began the demise of a fading Maysonet.
Undefeated Alan Castano (11-0, 7 KOS) failed to earn his third straight knockout despite out-landing his opponent 157-94 in overall punches, winning his middleweight bout by unanimous decision (78-74 tre gange) over 22-year-old Aaron Garcia (15-6-1, 10 KOS).
The 23-year-old Castano was accurate early in the first round with clean right hands supporting a stiff jab. The attack caused immediate swelling over Garcia’s left eye entering the second round, where he temporarily was able to trap and hammer away at Garcia with combinations against the ropes.
Garcia dominated the final 45 minutes of the second round with a momentum-swinging right to the head followed by successive combinations from both fighters at the bell.
A third-round clash of heads caused a nasty gash over Garcia’s right eye that increasingly streamed blood, forcing Garcia to go on the offensive, as Castano countered effectively with both hands to the head and body in an action-packed fourth round.
Castano continued to control the fight, establishing angles from behind his jab, follow-up rights and clean left uppercuts while Garcia stayed competitive throughout the round.
Fighting beyond six rounds for the first time in his career, Castano spent the final two rounds on the defensive, jabbing and countering from a distance and staying off the ropes on his way to winning unanimously.
The televised opener saw 19-year-old Brandon Figueroa (9-0, 7 KOS) score a pair of final-round knockdowns on the way to his fifth-straight stoppage victory as he earned a TKO over Adalberto Zorrilla(7-2, 7 KOS) ved 2:44 mark of the third round.
The southpaw Figueroa, brother of former world champion Omar Figueroa, pressed forward with a double-fisted attack from the outset, but Zorrilla landed several uppercuts cleanly up the middle, refusing to back down from the challenge of the unbeaten prospect.
Zorrilla began to out-work the oncoming Figueroa to the head and body through the second round before being penalized for repeated low blows late in the round by referee Rafael Ramos.
The fighters engaged toe-to-toe, at ring center to start the third until a Figueroa left to the head rocked Zorrilla to the ropes. Figueroa saw his opportunity and pounced, flooring him with a left hand near the one-minute mark.
Zorrilla beat the count and engaged immediately, staggering Figueroa with a left jab. Figueroa came back to floor him for good, med 18 seconds to go after a left to the body followed by one to the head. The blows sent Zorrilla to his back beneath a bottom rope, where Ramos waved an end to the fight.
Here is what the fighters had to say Saturday night:
FABIAN MAIDANA
“We were very pleased with our performance. He caught me with a good shot that drew blood from my nose in the first round. I just kept calm, listened to my corner and stuck to the game plan. I knew I was the stronger fighter; I just had to remain patient.
“I was a little disappointed that I didn’t get to knock him out, but I sensed that he would eventually quit. He stopped throwing punches and didn’t want to fight back.
“It means everything to have Chino (Marcos Maidana) by my side, supporting my career. It meant a lot to get this win on US TV in the same city where he beat Adrien Broner (i december. '13) and became a star. With each fight, I want to show fans that I’m Fabian Maidana, not just his little brother. I proved that tonight and will do so with more experience. I’m ready to carry the family name in the ring.
“This was only my 10th pro fight. I’m going to keep improving each time. Næste kamp, I will look even better, no matter when it is.”
JORGE MAYSONET
“I had him hurt early, but I couldn’t put my punches together after that. I gave 100% of what I had, but I really only had 50% of my best stuff. I’m a lightweight. They wanted the fight at super lightweight, derefter 143. We took the fight because of who he is, really who his brother is.
“For at være ærlig, we don’t think much of him as a fighter. He’s bigger than me and was able to beat me that way. My corner saw that I reached a point where I couldn’t fight the way I wanted to. We didn’t want to disappoint the crowd by going out there and not fighting, so my corner stopped the fight and I respect their decision. This isn’t the last of me, I’m coming back at my natural weight and will go on to achieve great things in this sport.”
ALAN CASTANO
“Jeg er meget tilfreds med min præstation. It was my first time going eight rounds, I had a lot of energy throughout the fight and was able to do everything I wanted in there.
“He was tough, but we knew that going in. I didn’t pay a lot of attention to his fight with Brian (Alan’s older brother, who beat Garcia by eight-round decision last December). I couldn’t tell you if he was any different tonight than when he fought that night. I just know what I wanted to do. He gave me a good test that I needed at this point in my career.
“I’d love to come back as soon as my team can make a fight for me.”
BRANDON FIGUEROA
“It was good to get the knockout, but I felt very off tonight, very sluggish. I like the activity I’ve had but this might be the first time in my career where I need a break.
“This was the toughest test to date for me. I knew that going into the fight and he landed a few good shots. This was a night where I needed to be at my best. I wasn’t but fortunate to get the job done.
“I know the left hook landed to his body to end the fight, but I don’t even remember it. I felt a little sick towards the end of training camp. My focus was just trying to get him out of there. I did that, so now it’s time to act like a teenager and enjoy a summer vacation, maybe slow it down just a little.”
