LAS VEGAS (Ιούλιος 21, 2019) – Boxing’s only eight-division world champion, Senator Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao μειώθηκε Keith “Ένας Χρόνος” Θέρμαν in round one and won a close split decision to earn a welterweight world title in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event Saturday night from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

“It was fun,” said Pacquiao. “My opponent is a good fighter and boxer. Ήταν ισχυρή. I’m not that kind of boxer who talks a lot; we were just promoting the fight. I think he did his best, and I did my best. I think we made the fans happy tonight because it was a good fight.”

The sell-out crowd of 14,356 got treated to great action from the start, as an exciting first round was capped off by Pacquiao dropping Thurman for the first time in his career with a straight right hand late in the round.

“I knew it was too close,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “He got the knockdown so he had momentum in round one.”

Thurman made it into the second round but continued to have trouble with Pacquiao’s right hand, as the future Hall of Famer threw it successfully as a jab and a power punch throughout the fight. Thurman adjusted in the middle rounds and began to try to smother Pacquiao and walk him down, having success when he was able to get his combinations off before his opponent.

Despite blood pouring from his nose from round four on, Thurman was able to land powerful combinations on Pacquiao for much of the second half of the fight, but was never able to hurt Pacquiao or score a knockdown of his own.

“I wish I had a little bit more output to go toe to toe,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “I felt like he was getting a little bit tired, but he did have experience in the ring. My conditioning and my output was just behind Manny Pacquiao’s. I would love the rematch.”

Στο γύρο 10, Pacquiao’s landed a strong left hook to the body that clearly hurt Thurman and forced him to spend much of the remainder of the round backpedaling. The CompuBox scores were indicative of the close nature of the fight, with Thurman out landing Pacquiao 210 να 195, while Pacquiao was busier throwing 686 γροθιές 571 from Thurman.

“I really love the fans,” said Pacquiao. “Thank you so much for coming here and witnessing the fight. I’m sure they were happy tonight because they saw a good fight. Even though Thurman lost, he did his best. He’s not an easy opponent. He’s a good boxer and he’s strong. I was just blessed tonight.”

Pacquiao had a large advantage in jabs landed, σύνδεση για 82 to Thurman’s 18. Ο 192 power punches landed by Thurman was the most in 43 Pacquiao fights that CompuBox has tracked. Round-by-round, the two fighters were only separated by more than five landed punches in rounds two, seven and nine.

Μετά 12 γύρους, the judges reached a split decision, with one judge scoring the fight 114-113 for Thurman, overruled by two judges scoring it 115-112 for Pacquiao, who captured the WBA Welterweight World Championship at 40-years-old.

“You get blessings and lessons,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “Tonight was a blessing and a lesson. Thank you everybody, and thank you Manny Pacquiao.”

“Νομίζω ότι (I will fight) next year,” said Pacquiao. “I will go back to the Philippines and work and then make a decision. I do hope to be at the (Errol) Spence vs. (Shawn) Porter fight on September 28.”

The co-main event of the pay-per-view saw top contender Γιορντένις Ugas (24-4, 11 KOs) drop previously unbeaten Omar Figueroa (28-1-1, 19 KOs) on his way to a unanimous decision in their WBC welterweight title eliminator.

Ugas got off to a strong start, connecting on a straight right hand that sent Figueroa into the ropes, which he held onto so he didn’t hit the canvas, but enough that referee Russell Mora ruled it a knockdown.

“The fight played out how I thought it would,” said Ugas. “I came out strong and Figueroa was tough as well. This was similar to the fight everyone expected. I came out on top.”

Figueroa recovered and was able to make it to round two, where he continued his strategy of coming forward to try to hurt Ugas on the inside. Ugas was able to control that action on the inside, landing numerous uppercuts to stun Figueroa. Ωστόσο, the inside fighting led to Ugas being deducted a point by the referee in round five for holding.

“Ugas fought a smart fight,” Είπε Figueroa. “He was smothering me on the inside and holding. I thought the scores were too wide. I was following him and working the whole time. I felt like he only worked the last 30 seconds of the round, but I guess that was all it took.

“I didn’t have any problems with his size. I thought I was able to do my thing, but when he was holding me I couldn’t get my offense going.”

Despite that, and being warned later in the fight for delivering low blows, Ugas dominated the fight according to CompuBox, out landing Figueroa 229 να 131 and connecting with 28% of his punches, to Figueroa’s 22%.

“I knew Figueroa was a tough guy, so I didn’t want to waste my energy trying to take him out early,” said Ugas. “I was ready to go 12 γύρους.”

Μετά 12 γύρους, all three judges scored the fight the same, 119-107 in favor of Ugas, who became the mandatory for the winner of the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Shawn Porter welterweight title unification.

“I’m extremely happy to be in this position to fight for the WBC title again,” said Ugas. “I will be ready for the winner of Errol Spence Jr. vs. Shawn Porter.”

Additional action saw former world champion Σεργκέι Lipinets (16-1, 12 KOs) score a highlight-reel knockout against Jayar Inson (18-3, 12 KOs) in the second round of their welterweight matchup.

Lipinets was originally scheduled to fight John Molina Jr., before Molina pulled out of the fight Friday morning due to a back injury. Inson, who was scheduled to fight on the non-televised undercard, stepped up to the challenge.

“When I first heard the news about Molina, I knew that I wanted to still fight on a show of this magnitude,” Είπε Lipinets. “As far as fighting a southpaw, I’ve had so many amateur fights in my kickboxing career that I had no problem adjusting. Ήταν απλά θέμα χρόνου. I also have sparred with great southpaws like Victor Ortiz throughout my career, so I was comfortable with the change in fighter.”

In an exchange early in the second round, Lipinets landed a clean left hook to Inson’s head, which sent the Filipino-fighter to the canvas. Although Inson got to his feet, referee Jay Nady waved off the bout 57 δευτερόλεπτα στο γύρο.

“I got hit and I slipped, that made it look worse,” said Inson. “When I stood up I thought I was fine and tried to raise my hands and show the referee.”

“Joe Goossen is an exceptional trainer and he just told me to work from a different direction facing a southpaw,” Είπε Lipinets. “I just made sure to block his punches with my elbows. That was the only adjustment I had to make and it ended up working just fine.”

The opening pay-per-view bout saw undefeated former champion Luis Nery (30-0, 24 KOs) deliver a ninth-round knockout of former bantamweight champion Χουάν Κάρλος Payano (21-3, 9 KOs).

“I wasn’t really paying attention to how long the fight was going, I was just getting into a rhythm as it went on,” said Nery. “I had to work hard to get to him because he’s a good boxer. The longer it went, the better I felt. I put my punches together well once I got going.”

In a fast-paced duel of former champions, Payano had success early boxing the aggressive Nery, moving back to avoid his attack and landing his own offense against the knockout artist. Payano out landed or was even in punches landed for each of the first six rounds of the bout.

“I’m a warrior and I wanted to keep going and fight back every time he came forward,” said Payano. “My coach wanted me to stay behind my jab a little more.”

As the fight grew into the middle rounds, Nery began to increase the offense and was able to land power shots that slowed Payano’s ability to box from the outside. Nery hurt Payano early in round seven, eventually dominating the round, out landing his opponent 22 να 7.

“He was a very complicated fighter at the beginning, he’s a veteran, so I had to try to adapt to his style to see how I could get in,” said Nery. “In the fifth or sixth round I started gaining control of the fight and then that left hook came to the body which was devastating.”

“During the exchanges it was Nery’s second shot that was getting in,” said Payano. “We corrected the issue but then that body shot came in from nowhere and hit me in a rib that I had broken years ago against Raushee Warren.”

Round eight saw Nery continue to break Payano down, most notably landing a big left hand midway through the round that caused blood to pour from Payano’s nose. During an exchange in the ninth-round, Payano landed a devastating left hook to the ribs that put Payano down. He was unable to recover and referee Vic Drakulich halted the bout 1:43 την έναρξη του γύρου.

“I wanted to get him out early,” said Nery. “But this showed that I do have the experience to go into the later rounds and still take out my opponent. I showed that I have good defense and can make adjustments.”

The FOX PBC Fight Night main event on FOX and FOX Deportes saw IBF Super Middleweight World Champion Ο Caleb “Sweethands” Εργοστάσιο (19-0, 11 KOs) retain his title with a dominant third-round knockout over previously unbeaten Μάικ Λι (21-1, 11 KOs).

“It went exactly how I planned it would go,” του εν λόγω φυτού. “Απολύτως. I’ve been telling you all week it wasn’t going to go 12 rounds and I stuck to my word and I tried to do that. I hope you guys had a good time.”

Plant got off to a fast-start, dropping Lee with a left hook late in the first round. The unbeaten challenger was able to recover and survive the round, but was hard-pressed to make up for the hand speed advantage of Plant.

“I think I have a high boxing IQ and I do this at a really high level,” του εν λόγω φυτού. “So it was just about making adjustments. Είναι ένα μεγάλο, strong guy and he just came in here to give it his all.”

Lee looked to charge in hard against Plant and use his size and power to land a big shot and change the momentum of the fight. Plant was sharp and avoided the looping right hands that Lee was attacking with.

“The speed was the difference, he’s fast and very accurate,” δήλωσε ο Lee. “I had some success with my right hands but wasn’t able to be consistent with it.”

Στο τρίτο γύρο, Plant landed a vicious right hook early in the round that put Lee down for the second time. After a left hook appeared to connect and send Lee down a second time, referee Robert Byrd ruled it had come from a push and continued the fight once Lee got to his feet.

Plant had his opponent hurt and continued to press forward, eventually landing another left hook that put Lee down, this time forcing the referee to wave off the bout 1:29 την έναρξη του γύρου.

“I had no issue with the stoppage, that’s the referee’s job and I respect it,” δήλωσε ο Lee.

Μετά τον αγώνα, Benavidez was asked about a possible unification fight against the winner of the just announced Anthony Dirrell vs. David Benavidez WBC Super Middleweight Championship fight.

“Ω ναι, we can definitely unify,” του εν λόγω φυτού. “I ain’t hard to get a hold of. I ain’t hard to make a fight with. Come see me. You know my advisor.”

The opening bout on FOX and FOX Deportes saw Έφε Ατζάμπα (11-0, 9 KOs) score a unanimous decision over Ali Eren Demirezen (11-1, 10 KOs) in a 10-round battle of undefeated heavyweights. It was the first time that two unbeaten fighters from the 2016 Olympics faced off as pros.

Ajagba used his jab and height effectively throughout the fight, προσγείωση 10 του 45 jabs per round, doubling the heavyweight average. Ωστόσο, an elbow injury and the accurate punching of Demirezen forced Ajagba to go the distance for the first time as a pro.

“This was the first fighter to take me the distance,” said Ajagba. “He was strong and could take my punches. My trainer just told me to keep using my jab and stay in the middle of the ring.

“I hurt my elbow early on, so I couldn’t shoot my right hand like I wanted. But I won’t use that as an excuse. As a tall man I had to use the jab and if it went the distance, that was my best way to win.”

Demirezen thought the scorecards should have been closer and believed that his performance should have garnered him more than the decision loss. Demirezen was actually the more accurate puncher, προσγείωση 26% of his punches to 22% from Ajagba.

“I don’t agree with the scores, especially 99-91” said Demirezen. “It was much closer. I feel that at minimum, it was a draw. I knew I had to knock him out and that a knockout might be easier than winning by points. I thought it was a good performance but I can do better. I’d like to fight in the U.S. πάλι.”

Ajagba’s activity from start to finish was impressive, as he threw 877 συνολική γροθιές, προσγείωση 191. While Demirezen was not far behind with 149 punches landed, he only out landed Ajagba in three rounds.

Μετά 10 rounds of action all three judges scored the fight in favor of Ajagba, από τα αποτελέσματα των 99-91 δύο φορές και 97-93.

ST. ΠΕΤΡΟΥΠΟΛΗ, FL. (Ιούλιος 8, 2019) – Keith “Ένας Χρόνος” Thurman’s victories have always been the center of conversation. Even with nine championship fights and eight title defenses already under his belt, his Saturday, Ιούλιος 20 fight against Manny Pacquaio could prove to be the most significant, as he steps onto boxing’s biggest stage looking to capture a momentous victory.

Pacquiao vs. Thurman will pit the undefeated WBA Welterweight World Champion Thurman against boxing’s only eight-division world champion and Philippine Senator Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Coming off a majority decision over Josesito Lopez that ended a 22-month ring absence in January, Θέρμαν (29-0, 22 KOs), 30, had won a close unanimous decision over former title holder “Showtime” Shawn Porter in June 2016 and a split-decision over two-division title winner Danny “Swift” Garcia in March 2017, adding Garcia’s WBC crown to his WBA version, before he vacated the WBC title due to injury.

Thurman broke down all of his title performances in anticipation of the fight that could cement his place amongst boxing’s best of this era.

KO 10 Diego Chaves, Ιούλιος 27, 2013, AT&T Κέντρο, Σαν Αντόνιο: The 24-year-old Thurman came off a near-shutout unanimous decision over former champion Jan Zaveck in March 2013 and faced an unbeaten Argentine interim WBA champion who was after his fifth consecutive stoppage win and had knocked out 18 του 22 αντιπάλους.

Thurman traded early power shots, controlled tempo with his athleticism and boxing ability and floored Chaves with a ninth round left hook to the liver before dropping him for the final time with a right hand in the 10ου γύρος. Chaves failed to beat the count as Thurman became a 147-pound titleholder.

“The Diego Chaves fight was the biggest fight of my career, elevating me to the WBA interim champion,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “I broke him down round by round and landed a beautiful body shot in the ninth round and after that it was a matter of time. That was a fight that earned me worldwide respect and was the start of everything for me.”

ΠΟΥ 9 Ο Ιησούς Soto Karass, Δεκέμβριος 14, 2013, Alamodome, Σαν Αντόνιο:Soto Karass’ previous victory was a 12th-round stoppage of two-time belt holder Andre Berto in a fight that saw him rise from an 11th-round knockdown. Hurt by a hard right in the first round, Thurman recovered, flooring Soto Karass with a left uppercut in the fifth and again from a powerful combination in the ninth as the referee ended matters.

“Soto Karass was coming off a victory over Andre Berto which made it an important measuring stick fight for me,” Είπε Θέρμαν, “He did open the fight by tagging me in the first round, but I dropped him in the fifth and again in the ninth and was able to finish him off for my first title defense.”


RTD 3 Julio Diaz, Απρίλιος 26, 2014, StubHub Κέντρο, Carson, Καλιφόρνια: In a one-sided beat-down, former champion Diaz took a knee from a left to the temple the second round and retired prior to the fourth from a body shot that caused rib damage. Diaz never fought again.

“That was a tremendous fight for me as the headliner in my first main event,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “Diaz was coming off of good showings against Shawn Porter, fighting Porter to a draw once, and Amir Khan, whom he dropped in their fight. I also had the opportunity to make a statement. I did that by stopping him in only three rounds.”

UD 12 Leonard Bundu, Δεκέμβριος 13, 2014, the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Λας Βέγκας: A previously unbeaten 40-year-old switch-hitting veteran, Bundu (31-1-2, 11 KO) was dropped by a first-round right hand in a shutout victory (120-107 τρεις φορές) for Thurman who ended an eight-month ring absence and was recovering from an injured left shoulder.


“Bundu was a switch-hitting awkward fighter. I switched [to southpaw] on him in the first round and dropped him with a right hand,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “I out boxed him and really gave the world a taste of how good of a boxer I am. It was an easy blowout.”

UD 12 Robert Guerrero, Μάρτιος 7, 2015, the MGM Grand Grand Garden Arena: Thurman entered this bout after having been elevated to the full champion before facing Guerrero (32-3-1, 18 KOs), a two-division title winner. He overcame a grotesque hematoma above his left eye from an accidental clash of heads, μειώθηκε “Το φάντασμα” in the ninth-round, and lost a combined four rounds in PBC’s first ever main event.

“Guerrero had fought Floyd Mayweather and I was happy to have a common opponent with Floyd, so that I could prove to the world that I deserved a shot at Mayweather,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “I had to overcome that adversity of having that hematoma by knocking him down in the ninth round. That fight really raised my stock to another level.”

RTD 7 Luis Collazo, Ιούλιος 11, 2015, USF Sundome, Τάμπα: Thurman overcame a crippling left hand to the liver in the fifth round to become only the man to stop Collazo, a former champion who had gone the distance in losses to Ricky Hatton, Shane Mosley, Andre Berto and Amir Khan. In a homecoming fight, Thurman opened a deep gash over Collazo’s right eye with his own left hook, eventually resulting in the southpaw’s retiring on his stool after the seventh round.

“I was able to survive that body shot to perform in the next round. The fight was taking its toll on him though. I was becoming more comfortable and accurate as I physically broke him down,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “The arena was electric, and the love was amazing. It was a great homecoming to defend my world title near where I grew up in Clearwater, Φλόριντα.”

UD 12 Shawn Porter, Ιούνιος 25, 2016, Barclays Κέντρο, Μπρούκλιν, New York:Thurman overcame a bullish former champion in Porter (26-2-1, 16 KOs) before an electric crowd, winning a give-and-take, blood-and-guts brawl by scores of 115-113, για τους τρεις δικαστές’ κάρτες. Highlights were Thurman’s clean right hand-left hook combination that buckled Porter’s knees late in the third round, a 10th-round left hook that did the same, and an even more vicious head-swiveling hook in Round 11 of a Fight of The Year standout from 2016.

“Our fight was tough, back and forth, but by no means was Shawn Porter going to take my title,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “I pushed myself over the final rounds to make sure I’d be victorious in what was one of the ‘Fight of The Year’ contenders that year. That fight proved to everyone that I can win any type of fight, against any type of fighter.”

SD 12 Ντάνι Γκαρσία, Μάρτιος 4, 2017, Barclays Κέντρο: Thurman won a clash of 28-year-olds over the then unbeaten Garcia (33-0, 19 KOs), along with the WBC’s crown in just the 10th title unification in division history and only the third between a pair of unbeaten fighters. The crowd of 16,533 represented the highest attended boxing match at Barclays Center to date. Thurman’s movement disrupted the timing of Garcia, a Philadelphia-based fighter who was a unified champion at 140-pounds.

“This was two undefeated welterweights going toe-to-toe in the prime of their careers. Danny Garcia’s a sharp puncher who won the WBC’s vacant title that Floyd Mayweather gave up for retirement,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “But after beating Shawn Porter, I knew Danny would be an easy fight. This was my first chance to beat an undefeated world champion, and I came out swinging on him in round one to make a statement that his world title was about to be mine.”

MD 12 Josesito Lopez, Ιανουάριος 26, 2019, Barclays Κέντρο: Thurman ended an injury-hampered 22-month ring absence against Lopez (36-8, 19 KOs), scoring a second-round knockdown with a left hook, being hurt by a right hand in the seventh, and using his mobility and athleticism down the stretch for the victory.

“I was really nervous about making weight after walking around at 182 for the past two years,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “But even though I got hit and hurt in the seventh round, I knew my boxing ability would get me through. It was a relief to make it through that fight feeling strong and healthy and I’ve taken those feelings right into this training camp.”

Manny Pacquiao (61-7-2, 39 KOs), Ιούλιος 20, 2019, the MGM Grand Garden Arena: The 40-year-old Pacquiao has earned back-to-back victories over former champions by seventh-round TKO over Lucas Matthysse (Ιούλιος 2018) and unanimous decision Adrien Broner (Ιανουάριος).

“Does Manny belong in the ring with a fighter in his prime? Is Keith Thurman still Keith ‘One Time’ Thurman after some vulnerability against Josesito Lopez?” Είπε Θέρμαν, rhetorically speaking. “Βεβαίως, I’d like to get the knockout or TKO, but either way, you’re going to see a world class performance that has me standing alone on top of a division that has so many great fighters. I’m trying to be that great, devastating champion once again, and come July 20, I will prove that I am.”

In a homecoming fight, Thurman opened a deep gash over Collazo’s right eye with his own left hook, eventually resulting in the southpaw’s retiring on his stool after the seventh round.

“I was able to survive that body shot to perform in the next round. The fight was taking its toll on him though. I was becoming more comfortable and accurate as I physically broke him down,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “The arena was electric, and the love was amazing. It was a great homecoming to defend my world title near where I grew up in Clearwater, Φλόριντα.”

UD 12 Shawn Porter, Ιούνιος 25, 2016, Barclays Κέντρο, Μπρούκλιν, New York:Thurman overcame a bullish former champion in Porter (26-2-1, 16 KOs) before an electric crowd, winning a give-and-take, blood-and-guts brawl by scores of 115-113, για τους τρεις δικαστές’ κάρτες. Highlights were Thurman’s clean right hand-left hook combination that buckled Porter’s knees late in the third round, a 10th-round left hook that did the same, and an even more vicious head-swiveling hook in Round 11 of a Fight of The Year standout from 2016.

“Our fight was tough, back and forth, but by no means was Shawn Porter going to take my title,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “I pushed myself over the final rounds to make sure I’d be victorious in what was one of the ‘Fight of The Year’ contenders that year. That fight proved to everyone that I can win any type of fight, against any type of fighter.”

SD 12 Ντάνι Γκαρσία, Μάρτιος 4, 2017, Barclays Κέντρο: Thurman won a clash of 28-year-olds over the then unbeaten Garcia (33-0, 19 KOs), along with the WBC’s crown in just the 10th title unification in division history and only the third between a pair of unbeaten fighters. The crowd of 16,533 represented the highest attended boxing match at Barclays Center to date. Thurman’s movement disrupted the timing of Garcia, a Philadelphia-based fighter who was a unified champion at 140-pounds.

“This was two undefeated welterweights going toe-to-toe in the prime of their careers. Danny Garcia’s a sharp puncher who won the WBC’s vacant title that Floyd Mayweather gave up for retirement,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “But after beating Shawn Porter, I knew Danny would be an easy fight. This was my first chance to beat an undefeated world champion, and I came out swinging on him in round one to make a statement that his world title was about to be mine.”

MD 12 Josesito Lopez, Ιανουάριος 26, 2019, Barclays Κέντρο: Thurman ended an injury-hampered 22-month ring absence against Lopez (36-8, 19 KOs), scoring a second-round knockdown with a left hook, being hurt by a right hand in the seventh, and using his mobility and athleticism down the stretch for the victory.

“I was really nervous about making weight after walking around at 182 for the past two years,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “But even though I got hit and hurt in the seventh round, I knew my boxing ability would get me through.

Manny Pacquiao (61-7-2, 39 KOs), Ιούλιος 20, 2019, the MGM Grand Garden Arena: The 40-year-old Pacquiao has earned back-to-back victories over former champions by seventh-round TKO over Lucas Matthysse (Ιούλιος 2018) and unanimous decision Adrien Broner (Ιανουάριος).

“Does Manny belong in the ring with a fighter in his prime? Is Keith Thurman still Keith ‘One Time’ Thurman after some vulnerability against Josesito Lopez?” Είπε Θέρμαν, rhetorically speaking. “Βεβαίως, I’d like to get the knockout or TKO, but either way, you’re going to see a world class performance that has me standing alone on top of a division that has so many great fighters. I’m trying to be that great, devastating champion once again, and come July 20, I will prove that I am.”

ST. ΠΕΤΡΟΥΠΟΛΗ, FL. (Ιούλιος 8, 2019) – Keith “Ένας Χρόνος” Thurman’s victories have always been the center of conversation.

Coming off a majority decision over Josesito Lopez that ended a 22-month ring absence in January, Θέρμαν (29-0, 22 KOs), 30, had won a close unanimous decision over former title holder “Showtime” Shawn Porter in June 2016 and a split-decision over two-division title winner Danny “Swift” Garcia in March 2017, adding Garcia’s WBC crown to his WBA version, before he vacated the WBC title due to injury.

Thurman broke down all of his title performances in anticipation of the fight that could cement his place amongst boxing’s best of this era.

KO 10 Diego Chaves, Ιούλιος 27, 2013, AT&T Κέντρο, Σαν Αντόνιο: The 24-year-old Thurman came off a near-shutout unanimous decision over former champion Jan Zaveck in March 2013 and faced an unbeaten Argentine interim WBA champion who was after his fifth consecutive stoppage win and had knocked out 18 του 22 αντιπάλους.

Thurman traded early power shots, controlled tempo with his athleticism and boxing ability and floored Chaves with a ninth round left hook to the liver before dropping him for the final time with a right hand in the 10ου γύρος. Chaves failed to beat the count as Thurman became a 147-pound titleholder.

“The Diego Chaves fight was the biggest fight of my career, elevating me to the WBA interim champion,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “I broke him down round by round and landed a beautiful body shot in the ninth round and after that it was a matter of time. That was a fight that earned me worldwide respect and was the start of everything for me.”

ΠΟΥ 9 Ο Ιησούς Soto Karass, Δεκέμβριος 14, 2013, Alamodome, Σαν Αντόνιο:Soto Karass’ previous victory was a 12th-round stoppage of two-time belt holder Andre Berto in a fight that saw him rise from an 11th-round knockdown. Hurt by a hard right in the first round, Thurman recovered, flooring Soto Karass with a left uppercut in the fifth and again from a powerful combination in the ninth as the referee ended matters.

“Soto Karass was coming off a victory over Andre Berto which made it an important measuring stick fight for me,” Είπε Θέρμαν, “He did open the fight by tagging me in the first round, but I dropped him in the fifth and again in the ninth and was able to finish him off for my first title defense.”


RTD 3 Julio Diaz, Απρίλιος 26, 2014, StubHub Κέντρο, Carson, Καλιφόρνια: In a one-sided beat-down, former champion Diaz took a knee from a left to the temple the second round and retired prior to the fourth from a body shot that caused rib damage. Diaz never fought again.

“That was a tremendous fight for me as the headliner in my first main event,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “Diaz was coming off of good showings against Shawn Porter, fighting Porter to a draw once, and Amir Khan, whom he dropped in their fight. I also had the opportunity to make a statement. I did that by stopping him in only three rounds.”

UD 12 Leonard Bundu, Δεκέμβριος 13, 2014, the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Λας Βέγκας: A previously unbeaten 40-year-old switch-hitting veteran, Bundu (31-1-2, 11 KO) was dropped by a first-round right hand in a shutout victory (120-107 τρεις φορές) for Thurman who ended an eight-month ring absence and was recovering from an injured left shoulder.


“Bundu was a switch-hitting awkward fighter. I switched [to southpaw] on him in the first round and dropped him with a right hand,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “I out boxed him and really gave the world a taste of how good of a boxer I am. It was an easy blowout.”

UD 12 Robert Guerrero, Μάρτιος 7, 2015, the MGM Grand Grand Garden Arena: Thurman entered this bout after having been elevated to the full champion before facing Guerrero (32-3-1, 18 KOs), a two-division title winner. He overcame a grotesque hematoma above his left eye from an accidental clash of heads, μειώθηκε “Το φάντασμα” in the ninth-round, and lost a combined four rounds in PBC’s first ever main event.

“Guerrero had fought Floyd Mayweather and I was happy to have a common opponent with Floyd, so that I could prove to the world that I deserved a shot at Mayweather,” Είπε Θέρμαν. “I had to overcome that adversity of having that hematoma by knocking him down in the ninth round. That fight really raised my stock to another level.”

When you look at the fighters involved in supporting what is the best biggest fight of the year – Pacquiao vs. Θέρμαν – you can be assured that the night will be filled with non-stop action.”

Figueroa (28-0-1, 19 KOs) is a come forward boxer-puncher who’s yet to meet an opponent who could slow down his relentless style. The 29-year-old from Weslaco, Τέξας, is coming off a unanimous decision victory over John Molina Jr. in February on FOX. A former lightweight world champion, Figueroa owns victories over former world champions including Robert Guerrero, Ricky Burns and Antonio DeMarco.

“I’m excited for this fight against a talented Olympian who’s very skilled,” Είπε Figueroa. “I know he will be moving around the ring a lot, so I’m going to have to move with him and chase him all night. I’m going to have to be in really good shape and work hard on my conditioning. This fight has definitely raised the stakes for me, so I know I have to be ready. I’m going to have a good camp and come in with excellent preparation for July 20.”

The 32-year-old Ugás (23-4, 11 KOs) has been one of the busiest welterweight contenders in boxing the last two years, fighting three times in both 2017 και 2018. Ugás, who is from Santiago, Cuba and now lives in Miami, Φλόριντα, was on an eight-fight win streak before losing a narrow split-decision to Shawn Porter in a world title fight on FOX in March.

“I’m very excited to be on the biggest card of the year,” said Ugás. “Omar Figueroa Jr. is a tremendous fighter, and that’s the style I like to face. I’m an all-action fighter and the fans are going to be in for a full course meal before the actual main event. That I can promise. You don’t want to miss this event and you don’t want to miss this war. I’m grateful to FOX Sports and PBC for including me in an event of this magnitude.”

The 30-year-old Lipinets (15-1, 11 KOs) made a successful debut at 147-pounds in March with a TKO victory over former two-division champion Lamont Peterson in a PBC on FS1 fight that is an early Fight of the Year frontrunner. Lipinets, who was born in Kazakhstan, grew up in Russia and now lives in Los Angeles, has only one loss on his record. He lost his 140-pound belt in a 2018 showdown against four-division champion Mikey Garcia.

“There’s no slowing down in my march to get that welterweight championship belt,” Είπε Lipinets. “Όπως πάντα, I’m fighting a guy that is very dangerous and tough to the last bell. My title shot is right around the corner. I’m very excited to be part of a show like this and I’m grateful for these opportunities in my career and I promise that I’ll earn my keep. I’m looking forward to becoming a two-time world champion.”

Molina (30-8, 24 KOs) is coming off a close unanimous decision loss to Omar Figueroa Jr. τον Φεβρουάριο. A tough veteran brawler, Molina, of West Covina, Καλιφόρνια, has been in the ring with some of the top boxers at lightweight, junior welterweight and welterweight. Over his 13-year career he’s been involved in multiple Fight of the Year contenders while picking up victories over Ruslan Provodnikov, Mickey Μπέη, Hank Lundy and Ivan Redkach.

“It’s going to be another barnburner like every one of my fights,” Είπε Μολίνα. “My opponent is tough and durable, so I know it is going to be another exciting fight for my fans. There’s no surprises at this stage of the game for me. This is going to be a huge night from top to bottom and I can’t wait.”

Nery (29-0, 23 KOs) is a power puncher and has stopped his last 10 opponents and 14 τελευταία του 15. He scored a TKO victory over Shinsuke Yamanaka for the world bantamweight title in 2018. The 24-year-old southpaw from Tijuana, Mexico is coming off a dominant stoppage victory over McJoe Arroyo on the March PBC on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View.

“I am thrilled to be back on a PBC on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event and to be fighting on a card with my friend, Γερουσιαστής Manny Pacquiao,” said Nery. “To fight in Las Vegas has been a dream of mine since I turned professional. All the great Mexican fighters have fought in the fight capital of the world. My fight against Juan Carlos Payano is the last step to me getting my shot at the WBC championship and getting my belt back. Viva Mexico!”

Payano (21-2, 9 KOs) is coming off a unanimous decision victory over then-unbeaten Damien Vazquez in October on FS1. It was a bounce back victory from his loss to Naoya Inoue in a world title match last October. The only other loss in the career of the 35-year-old from La Vega, Dominican Republic came in another world title match, when he dropped a majority decision to Rau’shee Warren in 2016, after previously beating Warren for the title in 2015.

“Manny Pacquiao has been my favorite fighter since I’ve been a pro and I’m very excited to be fighting on this pay-per-view,” said Payano. “I even nicknamed myself ‘Baby Pacquiao,’ so this is a special honor. Fighting Luis Nery is also a great opportunity for me. Luis is a very hungry, strong fighter looking to regain his championship status. Δυστυχώς, he is not going to do that with me. I’m sure he will be ready and come for war, και έτσι θα Ι”

Δείτε παρακάτω για το Super Bowl 50 προβλέψεις από μαχητές PBC:
Άλλα Berto: Έχω τους πάνθηρες από μια δεκάρα. Άνδρας, ο Μπρονκς’ η άμυνα είναι άγρια! Δεν έχω δει ποτέ καμία ομάδα να κυνηγάει έναν άντρα όπως τον πήρε μετά από τον Tom Brady. Λοιπόν, πώς θα τα χειριστεί το αγόρι μου Cam Newton? Έχετε δει την κάμερα να τρέχει? Θα τρέξει ακριβώς πάνω τους.
Κατά των Πατριωτών, ότι η άμυνα επιτρέπεται να είναι άγρια, αλλά η Cam δεν θα το επιτρέψει. Οσον αφορά [Ο Broncos τρέχει πίσω] Ρόνι Χίλμαν, αυτός είναι ο φίλε μου; πρέπει απλώς να δουλέψει στα χέρια τους λίγο.
Dominic Breazeale: Έχω κερδίσει τους πάνθηρες, 35-21. Το Cam Newton διασκεδάζει πάρα πολύ, και σε αυτό το σημείο, Θα έπρεπε να πω ότι ο τύπος είναι ασταμάτητος.
Ομάρ Ντάγκλας: Πάω με τους πάνθηρες. Ο Cam Newton έχει παίξει υπέροχα όλη τη σεζόν και σχεδόν αήττητο. Δεν είναι ο μέσος όρος του quarterback. Μπορεί να ρίξει τη μακριά μπάλα ή να το τρέξει για ένα touchdown. Και πάνω απ 'όλα, διασκεδάζει. Είναι δύσκολο να νικήσεις έναν άντρα έτσι!
Omar Figueroa νεώτερος: Δεν θέλω να δώσω μια πρόβλεψη. Λατρεύω τα Broncos όπως και τα San Antonio Spurs. Αλλά οι πάνθηρες είναι οι Golden State Warriors του ποδοσφαίρου αυτή τη στιγμή. Βλέπω τον Broncos να έχει έναν πολύ δύσκολο χρόνο.
Miguel Flores: Η Καρολίνα έσπασε όλους, και το Ντένβερ ήταν κάπως ασυνεπές. Αλλά μετά το Broncos’ τα πιο πρόσφατα παιχνίδια και την εμφάνισή τους στην άμυνα, Θα πρέπει να κολλήσω με το περίφημο κλισέ: “Η επίθεση κερδίζει παιχνίδια, η άμυνα κερδίζει πρωταθλήματα.”
Οι πάνθηρες έχουν δείξει ότι μπορούν να είναι πολύ επιθετικοί, αλλά η άμυνα τους δεν ήταν πάντα στο σημείο. Οπότε πηγαίνω με το Broncos σε ένα σφιχτό.
Ντάνι Γκαρσία: Πάω με τους πάνθηρες. Κυλούν τώρα. Έχουν νεολαία και ενέργεια, και έχουν μεγάλη δυναμική στο παιχνίδι. Αν παραμείνουν συγκεντρωμένοι και δεν πάρουν μέρος και πιάσουν [στη διαφημιστική εκστρατεία], θα το κερδίσουν.
Terrell Gausha: Πάνθηρες, γιατί αδερφέ μου που πήγα στο λύκειο με παιχνίδια για την Καρολίνα: ευρύς δέκτης Ted Ginn Jr. Περισσότερο, Νομίζω ότι είναι τόσο καλά.
Tony Harrison: Η Καρολίνα Πάνθερες σε όλη τη διαδρομή. Ως πρώην quarterback γυμνασίου, Μου αρέσει τι κάνει ο Cam για το παιχνίδι. Είναι εκπληκτικό. Επίσης, πολλοί άνθρωποι δεν γνωρίζουν, αλλά ο νεότερος ξάδελφος μου, Γίνετε Funchess (φωτογραφίες παραπάνω με τον Χάρισον, ενώ στο Πανεπιστήμιο του Μίσιγκαν), παίζει ευρύ δέκτη για τους πάνθηρες. Έτσι πάντοτε πηγαίνω με την οικογένεια σε κάθε περίπτωση.
Julius Τζάκσον: Έχω το Broncos. Έχουν ένα καλύτερο σύστημα όσον αφορά την ικανότητα να παίζουν ως συνεκτική μονάδα. Αυτό θα τους δώσει το πλεονέκτημα.
Jamal James: Πρέπει να πάω με τους πάνθηρες, επειδή η Cam Newton χειρίζεται τις επιχειρήσεις. Περισσότερο, ότι η ομάδα ήταν κάπως αουτσάιντερ. Αλλά κάθε φορά που τους μετράνε, βγαίνουν και αρνούνται να χάσουν, που είναι κάτι που σέβομαι και σχετίζεται.
Amir Khan: Θα έπρεπε να πω ότι οι Broncos έχουν τη βετεράνη ηγεσία στο Peyton Manning και ήταν εκεί πριν, έτσι έχουν την καλύτερη συνολική εμπειρία. Αλλά στο τέλος, η νεολαία και η εκρηκτικότητα του Cam Newton θα κερδίσει την ημέρα σε αυτό που θα είναι ένας σκληροπυρηνικός Πάνθηρες’ νίκη.
Paulie Malignaggi: Πάω με τον αουτσάιντερ Broncos. Ίσως απλά πηγαίνει με την καρδιά μου, αλλά είμαι οπαδός του Manning, κυρίως επειδή ο αδερφός του είναι το QB για τους New York Giants, οπότε το διατηρώ στην οικογένεια.
Abner Mares: Παίρνω τους πάνθηρες. Το Cam Newton έχει ένα στυλ μέσα και έξω από το πεδίο που κυριαρχεί. Είναι οι πάνθηρες’ έτος, Ο Cam είναι ένας τεράστιος ηγέτης και QB, και ήρθε η ώρα να γεννηθεί μια νέα δυναστεία.
Shawn Porter: Νομίζω ότι θα είναι ένα υπέροχο Super Bowl! Είναι ένα πολύ ομοιόμορφο παιχνίδι. Και οι δύο ομάδες είναι σταθερές και στις δύο πλευρές της μπάλας και έχουν υπέροχα quarterbacks. Ο Peyton Manning προσπαθεί να σταθεροποιήσει την κατάστασή του ως εξαιρετικό QB όλων των εποχών, και ο Cam Newton προσπαθεί να καθιερωθεί ως μέλλοντος. Δυσκολεύομαι να επιλέξω έναν νικητή, αλλά προσωπικά θα ήθελα να δω το Cam Newton και τους πάνθηρες να κερδίζουν.
Michael Σφραγίδες: Πρέπει να πάω με τους πάνθηρες. Θα πάρω τον Billy the Kid-Cam Newton-πάνω από τον παλιό αναπληρωτή σερίφη, Peyton Manning.
Errol Spence Jr.: Οι πάνθηρες θα κερδίσουν επειδή το Broncos’ η άμυνα δεν θα είναι σε θέση να περιέχει ή να σταματήσει το Cam Newton. Και οι πάνθηρες’ το πέρασμα της άμυνας είναι πολύ καλό για τον εαυτό του Peyton Manning. Πήγα στο σχολείο με [Αμυντικό τέλος του Broncos] Από τον Μίλερ, αλλά θέλω να κερδίσει ο Κάμ.
Antonio Tarver: Είναι ένας τύπος πεπρωμένου του έτους για τους Cam Newton και τους πάνθηρες. Δεν νομίζω ότι θα τους σταματήσει. Ενώ η καρδιά μου είναι με τον Ντένβερ και ο σοφός παλιός βετεράνος Peyton Manning - οι παλιοί μας πρέπει να κολλήσουν μαζί - πρέπει να βάλω τα χρήματά μου στο Cam και τους πάνθηρες.
Το μόνο που προσεύχομαι είναι να βγαίνω σαν τον Peyton Manning: προσπαθώντας να τα κερδίσω όλα πριν αποσυρθώ. Αλλά πρέπει να πω ότι οι πάνθηρες θα κερδίσουν.
Ώστιν Πέστροφα: Έχω κερδίσει τους πάνθηρες. Παίζουν απλώς με εξαιρετική ομαδική χημεία και εξαιρετική ηγεσία στο Cam Newton. Αλλά είμαι ακόμα J-E-T-S μέχρι το D-I-E.
Sammy Vasquez Jr.: Είναι απλό: Πάνθηρες όλη την ημέρα. Έκανε φωτιά. Το Cam Newton το αξίζει τώρα αφού έβαλε τα χρόνια με την ομάδα και όλη τη σκληρή δουλειά. Συνεργάζονται ομαδικά, και αυτό είναι ένα μεγάλο μέρος της επιτυχίας.
Deontay Γουάιλντερ: Μου αρέσουν οι Πάνθηρες γιατί το Cam Newton βρίσκεται σε διαφορετικό επίπεδο, μια δύναμη που πρέπει να υπολογιστεί.
Thomas Williams Jr.: Παίρνω το Broncos μόνο λόγω του παράγοντα εμπειρίας. Η χρονιά του Cam Newton ήταν εκπληκτική; είναι σίγουρα ένας MVP. Αλλά νομίζω ότι η μετα-σεζόν του Peyton Manning και η παντού εμπειρία θα υπερτερούν της μαγείας του Cam.
Αυτό θα είναι ένας ακόμη περίπατος στο πάρκο για το Manning, που ήταν στο πιο δύσκολο, πιο εξαντλητικά παιχνίδια κατά τη διάρκεια της καριέρας του.
Τελικό αποτέλεσμα: Πάνθηρες 17, Μπρονκς 4.
