ANAHEIM, Calif. (Feabhra. 27, 2016) – Lion “Earthquake” Santa Cruz defended his WBA Featherweight World Championship in convincing fashion ar an Satharn oíche, knocking down Kiko “Sensación” Martinez twice in the first round, then ending it on a barrage of punches as the fight was called at 2:09 in the fifth round in the main event of a Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP Dornálaíocht doubleheader at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
I gcomhoibriú gné ar Showtime, 29-bliain d'aois Hugo Ruiz (36-3, 31 Kos), Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, regained his WBC Super Bantamweight World Title with a devastating early knockdown with just 51 seconds into the 12-round fight against 23-year-old Iúil Ceja (30-2, 27 Kos) of Atizapan De Zaragoza, Mexico, in a highly anticipated rematch of their August fight won by Ceja.
Fighting just 10 miles west of his hometown of La Habra and before 7,780 enthusiastic fans, the 27-year-old Santa Cruz (32-0-1, 18 Kos) continued to establish himself as the King of Southern California as he punished the game 29-year-old Martinez (35-7, 26 Kos) of Alicante, Valencia, Spáinn, le 570 total punches in just five rounds. There were 1,038 total punches thrown during the fight.
“The fans love it when two fighters go toe-to-toe,” Santa Cruz told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray after the fight. “I wanted to give the fans a great fight. I knew I could hurt him with a right hand. He’s a fighter and when he’s knocked down, he’s going to come back. In the fifth round I knew I had to finish him off and I did.”
Santa Cruz continued, “We were going toe-to-toe from the beginning. He’s was throwing good punches I was throwing out good punches and the crowd was loving it. Then my dad told me to slow down and be smarter so we started boxing.”
Santa Cruz wasted no time getting the upper hand as the opening bell rung. He knocked Martinez out twice in the first round; the first just 23 seconds into the fight and the second on a devastating right hand at two minutes into the round prompting SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING play-by-play announcer Mauro Ranallo to tell expert analyst Al Bernstein: “We may be able to get to Disneyland before the end of the night.”
Martinez fell into a groove in the third and fourth rounds, but got into trouble two minutes into the fifth round as Santa Cruz had him up against the ropes connecting on numerous body shots, uppercuts and combinations before referee Raul Caiz Sr. signaled the end of the fight for Santa Cruz’s second straight world title defense in Southern California.
Martinez said that Santa Cruz, “started to move a lot and he broke my strategy and he fought a great fight. The second round I was getting looser and I was starting to feel much better.
“He was like a bull coming forward really strong,” Santa Cruz added. “He has definitely been one of the strongest fighters I’ve been in the ring with yet.
“Towards the end I said, ‘this is it, this is my opportunity to take him down. If I don’t finish him right here, it’s going to make it a really tough fight.’ So I said I was going at it with my all and thankfully it turned out the way that it did.”
Santa Cruz, making his second defense after capturing the world title from Láracha Abner back in August, said someday he wants to break the records for most punches thrown in a fight. “I wanted to throw as many punches as I can so the fans could get a good show.”
Santa Cruz is now eyeing a future potential matchup with IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton ag 126 pounds or Gary Russell. “I’m up for anyone,” a dúirt sé. “I want the rematch with (Abner) Máithreacha. Since Frampton won, if he’s ready to go up in weight, I’m ready for him. I challenge him to a fight whenever he’s ready.”
In a rematch of the WBC Super Bantamweight World Title he lost last August, the new 122-pound champion Ruiz improved his record to 5-0 in rematches (le cúig knockouts) as he delivered a stunning first-round knockout against Ceja, who injured his right ankle on a powerful clean right just seconds into the fight sending him to the canvas.
Ceja got up slowly but was battered with a fury of punches and knocked out again with just 51 seconds into the fight ending the affair.
“I was very prepared to knock him out, but I was prepared to go 12 babhtaí anocht also if I had to,” said Ruiz, who was teary and emotional following the victory. “I was happy to knock him out in the first round. I’m looking for the best fighters and the best money out there.”
Said SHOWTIME analyst Paulie Malignaggi: “I’ve never seen a first-round KO that soon in a fight of this much importance.” Added SHOWTIME’s Bernstein: “The right hand was the weapon of choice for Ruiz, and he got the job done. What a moment of redemption for Ruiz!”
Eyebrow, who beat Ruiz on a fifth-round knockout last August to win the world title, was hurt from the first series of Ruiz punches and never recovered in the intense first round.
Ceja was taken to nearby UC Irvine Hospital and diagnosed with a fractured right ankle.
“I saw that he got hurt with the first punch and I saw his leg wobbling and so I said, ‘Let’s finish’,” Dúirt ruiz. “And I did in that round.”
Níos luaithe Dé Sathairn as Manchain, Sasana, ar Showtime Dornálaíocht INTERNATIONAL, IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton unified the super bantamweight division with a split decision victory over WBA titlist Scott QUIGG.
The long-awaited matchup of unbeaten champions got off to a slow and tactical start, but Belfast native Frampton (22-0, 14 Kos) established himself as the aggressor and worked his jab to pocket the early rounds. Quigg didn’t come alive until after the seventh, when trainer Joe Gallagher warned his charge that he was likely down big on the judges’ scórchártaí.
QUIGG (31-1-2) pounded the body and was the aggressor in rounds eight through 11, but it was too little, too late for the Lancashire, England native. Frampton won the 12ú and walked away the unified champion by scores of 115-113 for Quigg, ach 116-112 twice for Frampton.

Seo an méid a bhí ar an trodaithe a rá Déardaoin:

 

LEO SANTA CRUZ

 

“Headlining a televised card has been my childhood dream. I could have never imagined I was going to get this far. And Here I am, on my second main event, defending my title on a premium network. I’m so psyched. I cannot believe it.

 

“The first time I put the gloves on, I knew that I had found my craft, and I also knew that it was not going to be an easy road. I knew that I had to work hard to become a champion. Mar sin,, I trained the hardest and I fought the hardest, and with my father by my side I got here, where I’m at today. I owe him everything.

 

“I remember watching all the great Mexican Champions and day dreaming about being like them one day. It felt unreachable. I thought it was impossible to get where they were. But I worked hard, really hard from the beginning.

 

“The most important thing is that the fans leave happy and get their money’s worth. I’m glad that Kiko has come prepared because we’re ready for a great fight.

 

“People are saying that I should walk through Kiko Martinez, but I don’t listen to that. I look at Kiko the same way I look at any other opponent. When we step inside the ring, we are equals.

 

“At the end of the day, the winner will be the fighter who has prepared more and who has imposed his will on the other man.

 

 

KIKO MARTINEZ

 

“I have faced much stronger boxers than Leo and come Dé Sathairn, all of those who did bet on me for this fight, I am going to make you a lot of money.

 

“I am excited and proud to know that Sergio Martinez will be present ar an Satharn supporting me. His guidance and presence

 

“My trainer could not be here, but we have not taken one day off in training camp and I have been pushed to my limit to prepare me for this fight. I’m thankful to Robert Garcia for being in my corner ar an Satharn.

 

“I know this is a great opportunity to fight Leo Santa Cruz and I will make the most of it. I’m going to leave everything inside the ring so that the fight fans enjoy a great championship matchup.

 

“I feel that Leo Santa Cruz is a great fighter, he has beat some incredible fighters. He’s a great athlete and boxer. Sometimes people will try to make him out to be more than he actually is but they are mistaken with what they see in me. I am not to be mistaken as the underdog here.

 

 

JULIO CEJA

 

“As Hugo mentioned, we have both trained even harder than last time and we’re more prepared physically and mentally.

 

“I’m going to give everybody a great fight just like last time. I’m walking into the ring knowing my opponent very well. We’ve been to war. I know what to expect from him. I know about his punch and I know how to counter it.

 

“I’m going to be alert and ready. I’ll be a little more intelligent, because I know that he’s coming well prepared and he’s coming for the world title, but he’s not going to get it.

“There are going to be no surprises in this fight. Hugo Ruiz said that he was training harder this time. But I am too. I’ve trained very hard.

 

“The key for me to win this fight is to keep my hands up and to not give him one inch. I cannot be careless. I’ll be strategic and use my wisdom. I cannot come in with my hands down because I know I’ll pay for it. But nothing to worry about, we have rectified those issues in training camp. Tá mé réidh. He’s not taking my belt away from me.

 

“I’m glad that he says he is better prepared this time because I am better than ever. My team has been instrumental in preparing me for this matchup.

 

“The winner will be the man who is more prepared physically and mentally. But the real winner will be the fans at Honda Center because this is an amazing card and we’re going to put on an amazing fight.”

 

 

HUGO RUIZ

 

“If you liked the first fight between us, then you are going to love this one.

 

“I’m excited to be fighting once again in Southern California. I’ve trained very hard and I have prepared myself for this world title opportunity.

 

“I’m looking forward to putting on a grand show for all my fans ar an Satharn oíche. "

 

 

JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz’ Father & Traenálaí

 

“I hear Kiko has a great trainer on his corner. Robert Garcia is really good, but I have news for Kiko, his trainer is not going to fight for him.

“Once a fighter steps into the ring, he’s alone in there. There are no trainers and no great promoters that can fight for him.”

 

“Kiko speaks about this prestigious trainer and thinks that by mentioning him, he is going to intimidate us. He has something else coming. The trainer won’t fight for Kiko. Roberto Garcia has trained my son and knows Leo very well but that does not give Kiko the upper hand.”

 

TOM BROWN, Head of TGB Promotions

 

“Southern California favorite Leo Santa Cruz returns to bring his action style to the ring. He will be opposed by a tough former world champion in Kiko Martinez who is sure to make this a tremendous fight.

 

“The first fight between Ceja and Ruiz was a true back and forth war. Should this pick up right where it left off, we will have a great fight to start the telecast.

 

“I’m looking forward to a great night ar an Satharn night in front of the fantastic Southern California boxing fans.”

 

 

TIM RYAN, POF & President of Honda Center

 

“I’m so thankful to everyone for helping to bring boxing back to Orange County. It’s hard to believe that Julio Cesar Chavez fought here in 1996, because it seems like yesterday.

 

“We have a great arena and a great fan base that loves boxing here in Orange County. An cárta ar an Satharn is wonderful. I know these guys will be ready and I’m looking forward to an action-packed night on the 27ú.

 

CHRIS DEBLASIO, Leas-Uachtarán, Sports Communication Showtime Networks

 

“This is a fight fan’s fight card and we are looking forward to some explosive action. I think everyone knows that the lighter weight classes, especially at the championship level, produce exciting fights. My favorite examples include the epic series between Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez, which are available on SHOWTIME platforms and should wet your appetite for what we will see ar an Satharn oíche.

KIKO MARTINEZ
“I’m very happy to have Robert Garcia in my corner. He has led so many fighters to world titles. I’m excited and I’m anxious to get things going. I’m ready to collaborate and I think we’ll do great things Dé Sathairn.
“The people who doubt that I will take this title only make me stronger and more dangerous.
“Training camp has been extremely tough with lots of demands due to facing a champion like Leo Santa Cruz because he’s an excellent boxer who I admire. I have completely devoted myself to training for this fight.
“Ar an Satharn everyone will get to see the best Kiko Martinez. I am going to be bringing the pressure and giving you all a great fight with power punches to disarm Santa Cruz and take the title.
“I hope that fans will change their mindset of seeing me as the underdog and support me because I am here to show something else.
“I am very happy to be here and have the opportunity to fight in the United States again.
“I love this California weather, it reminds me of the weather of El Canario where I was training and I am feeling great.
“Tá mé réidh. Now all there is left is to wait. We’ve got the weigh-in ahead of us and I’ve already made weight. I will be working up a sweat just to remain active and distracted because I am ready to jump in the ring and start the best fight of my life.
“I have won a world title in the United States and became a world champ here and I am expecting to become the world champ here once again. That fight was how I became known here, now this fight will be the biggest fight of my career.
“I’ve been studying [Santa Cruz] for quite some time now, since I’ve been waiting to fight him previously, now it has come to this point in this time of my life. I have grown and learned so much since then that I truly feel that I have learned from my mistakes and grown to the best of my life yet.”
“Luckily [trainer Gabriel Sarmiento] has been training me up until this point. We’re on the same team and we have each other’s backs and he is still fully supportive. I have him in my heart and I know that he will be supporting me all the way.
“I am not worried about what anyone is saying. All I want is to get in the ring comeDé Sathairn and demonstrate that Leo and I will put on a huge fight and the audience will not be bored for a single minute.”

“This will be a toe-to-toe fight because we both know each other’s strengths and having fought before we know this rematch will be explosive.
“From the second we knew there would be a rematch, we immediately started training. We knew going in to this again that it will be a tough fight and this one will be better than the first. It will be more dangerous and more of a fight than the last because of what the rematch represents.
“I have trained very hard because I know what is on the line and I am not going to allow Ruiz to take that title from be so easily. It is going to be an all-out battle.
“Hugo has reach and height on me but all I know is that once I hear that bell, none of that matters. There’s a reason why they call me the champ and I am confident in my skill to show that.
“I am looking to show up and give the fans an entertaining show. I will be looking for a fight all throughout and keep it exciting for the fans who are coming out to see a good fight.
“I devoted my life to becoming the champion and my life dream was always to be a champ, so this is something that I will fight to the end for.
“I became a champ here in the United States and now that I am blessed with the opportunity to get a rematch here. I’m ready to take full advantage of this chance to give it 100 percent.”
GERALD WASHINGTON
“I grew up boxing and boxing was always my passion as a kid. I used to go to the local Boys & Girls Club as a kid and I’ve been in love with it since. It’s always been a part of me and I’m glad I can do it again and take over this division.
“There are lot’s similarities in football and boxing. You watch film, break your opponent down. We take everything from sparring and practice and take them out to the game.
“Tá sé seo ag dul a bheith ina troid iontach. It’s always a good battle when you have two undefeated fighters. It’s going to be a night full of action. I look forward to the action. I love stepping up and facing top-flight competition.
“Rivas has an extensive amateur background. Tá sé ina mór, strong guy who likes the knockout. He’s going to go for it. I’m prepared for a fight like that. I know the pressure is coming. We’ve worked hard since my last fight.
“The jab is the key for everything. It opens up all the other shots and keeps the opponent off balance. I’m going to hammer him with it. It’s a major tool.
“It’s a great honor to be fighting here in Los Angeles. My whole life has taken place in this state and everyone who has supported me is coming together ar an Satharn to see it all in action.
“Heavyweight boxing is always exciting. We’re the hardest hitters in the game. I can’t wait to show everyone the hard work I’ve put in and give a great performance.
“I’m going to be smart and disciplined in the ring. But you also have to have a strong will and have the determination to keep moving forward. You have to step to the guy and apply the pressure.
“My height and reach is always to my advantage but it’s not that. It’s the legs, the mind, the combinations. It’s everything.
“You will see a smart and aggressive style from me ar an Satharn and I’m going to take that into the next level of my career.”

Santa Cruz worked out alongside his father and trainer, Jose Santa Cruz, for the media in attendance and spoke about his upcoming bout and more. The workout also featured a surprise performance from Martin Castillo and a five-piece band that included a tuba and an accordion. Santa Cruz jumped rope and went through drills while traditional Mexican folk music called Corrido filled the Southern California gym.
Here is what Santa Cruz and his father had to say Thursday:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
“I always train to make a statement. I want to go out there and show everyone that I’m really good and I deserve to be considered one of the best.
“I fight for my family. Since I was small, this is what I’ve wanted to do to help my family. I wanted to work hard and give my family a better future.
“Martinez is a strong fighter who comes forward and always puts pressure on you. He never backs down and always comes to fight. That’s what we like about this matchup — it makes for a more intense fight.
“We’re going to give the fans an entertaining show. The fans are the ones who are going to win at the end of the night. I’m going to go out there and try to knock him out by the end of the third round.
“I think he’s going to be the aggressor because he’s shorter and has to fight that way. But I’m going to go forward and be the aggressor too. If that’s not working, I’ll box him. We’re going to do what we need to do to win the fight.
“I see Carl Frampton vs. Scott Quigg as a 50-50 gcomhrac. It’s a tough fight for both of them. I think whoever catches the other guy first will get the victory. They both can hit and they both have great skills. It could go either way.
“It’s a very interesting fight between Frampton and Quigg. They’ve both been possible opponents for me and I hope that I do well that night and face the winner of that fight. Ní féidir liom cúram a bhfuil sé, I want to fight them.
“I’m willing to fight whoever. I want the winner of Frampton-Quigg. If not then Lee Selby, Gary Russell Jr, Jesus Cuellar or anyone in the division. Hopefully next it will be one of those fighters.
“My fighting style is to always go forward and throw a lot of punches. I just want to entertain the fans. I fight for them and I try to send them home happy. I want to go in there and fight in a war.
“I’m going to fight all of the top guys. I’m still young and I know if I keep working hard and taking care of the guy in front of me, I’ll get all of those fights.
“We’re working on our distance and learning new things every day in camp. I don’t want to change too much, since I’m undefeated. I’m going to be prepared mentally and physically to get the win.
“We’re working hard all the time. We know what we have to do in the ring to win the fight. My last fight our strategy was to brawl but we adjusted it and moved more and we were able to get the victory.
On his recent foray into boxing promotion: “Being a promoter is difficult. It’s very hard. You’re always busy, so right now I’m focused on my boxing career. I’m letting my brothers and my family take care of it now. I’m not there 100 percent yet but I like to give my opinion. It’s something I’d like to do after I retire.”
JOSE SANTA CRUZ
“Leo is very well prepared as he always is. Táimid traein i gcónaí 100 percent and we are ready.
“The team is ready to fight. We have one week left to rest and put some finishing touches on this camp.
“We’re going to fight Martinez with our style. We’re going to do whatever we need to do to win the fight. Leo is going to take the fight to him and try to counteract whatever style Martinez brings.
“Tá sé ag dul a bheith ina troid maith. Whichever style Martinez brings, we’re going to out-maneuver him and make it a good fight. I see Leo winning a decision at least if not a knockout.”

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Feabhra. 16, 2016) – Spain’s Kiko “Sensación” Martinez is a soft-spoken, hard-hitting former IBF Super Bantamweight World Champion and a three-time European champion at 122 punt. He’s a come-forward, comes-to-win, aggressive-minded slugger who makes for exciting fights and has been in with excellent opposition.

 

The ultimate road warrior, the 5-foot-5, 29-year-old Martinez has fought more than one-third of his fights outside his native Spain, where he has tussled 26 amanna. He’s also fought four times in Ireland, three times in England, three times in Northern Ireland and one time each in Japan, An Airgintín, France and South Africa.

 

So don’t expect Martinez (35-6, 26 Kos) to be in awe of the surroundings in his second start in the United States when he challenges unbeaten, defending featherweight world champion Leo Santa Cruz (31-0-1, 17 Kos) ar Dé Sathairn, Feabhra. 27, i gcás is mó de Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP Dornálaíocht tripleheader beo ar Showtime (10 p.m. AGUS/7 p.m. PT) from Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

 

Martinez won his U.S. debut and the IBF 122-pound crown with a sixth-round TKO overJhonatan Romero ar Lúnasa. 17, 2013. “That was a great night for me,’’ Martinez said. “I’m confident of another great performance on Feb. 27.''

 

A winner of three in a row in his homeland, including a fourth-round TKO over Miguel Gonzalez caite Nollaig. 12, Martinez aims to make amends after losing three high-profile fights in recent years to super bantamweight world champions – twice to Carl Frampton(IBF) and once to Scott QUIGG (WBA).

 

Martinez gets an opportunity against Santa Cruz in a fight he never saw coming.

 

“I’m thrilled to be fighting Leo Santa Cruz, but getting this fight was a total surprise because I already had a fight scheduled,’’ said Martinez, who trains at his friend and manager, former world super middleweight champion Sergio Martinez’ gym in Spain. “I had been scheduled to fight for the European title. When this opportunity came up, I decided to give up the European title to come to America.

 

“I was very happy and very emotional when I heard about this fight. It was one of the best days of my life when I agreed to fight Santa Cruz. Anois, more boxing fans will get to see me. I will not take one step back. I will come forward the whole fight.

 

“I’m thankful to SHOWTIME and I’m excited for the challenge. It’s a huge fight in the United States and a great opportunity. Some people don’t think I can fight because I lost to those guys [Frampton and Quigg], but they are wrong. I am as determined as ever. I’m going to fight a great fight and come out with a victory.’’

 

While respectful of the champion, Martinez is no stranger to fighting on foreign soil and is poised to pull off a stunner.

 

“I will surprise many people who don’t believe in me,'' A dúirt sé. “I’m working so hard for this fight. People doubting me has me even more motivated. They will see on Feb. 27 and everyone will change their minds.

 

“I love fighting in my opponent’s backyard. That is not a problem for me at all. People who know boxing know I will give everything to this sport. I want to give great shows and entertain people. I’m coming forward and throwing punches and I don’t give up.

 

“I’m going to give 100 percent and it’s going to be a tremendous fight. I have a ton of respect for Leo Santa Cruz. He’s a world champion and a great fighter who’s clearly one of the very best featherweights in the world and a Top 10 punt do-punt-Trodaire. I am very conscious of that point.

 

“Leo and I are true warriors so this will be a brutal war. But I have what it takes. I’ve been working very hard with my longtime trainer, Gaby Sarmiento, and I will be victorious.’’

 

A lifelong resident of Spain, Martinez was born in Granada, Spáinn, and resides in Alicante. He has two sisters and two brothers but is the only one in the family who boxes professionally. He turned to boxing as a young teenager.

 

“I started in boxing because when I was about 13 I was smaller and other kids bullied me all the time. So I began looking for a way to learn to defend myself,'' A dúirt sé. “Once I decided to start boxing and dedicated myself to it I fell in love with the sport.’’

 

Mar amaitéarach, Martinez went 47-2 and won a Spanish national amateur championship, but he had no international amateur experience. “I had a good amateur career but never thought about the Olympics,'' A dúirt sé. “My mind was always on being a pro fighter.’’

 

A dangerous puncher who’s at his best when he pressures his opponents and wears them down, Martinez turned pro in June 2004. He was victorious in his initial 17 troideanna, winning all but three by knockout.

 

Martinez met Sergio Martinez [no relation] about nine years ago. “I met Sergio in the gym in Spain that he used to train himself in and we became good friends. When I started boxing I looked up to Julio Cesar Chavez and I am now a big fan of Marcos Maidana. I like to fight like him.

 

“But I’ve always had a special relationship with Sergio, who inspired me because he came from poverty like me. He has taught me so much. It’s like looking into a mirror because he knows where I came from. He’s taught me so much inside and outside the ring. We were very poor growing up and my father worked very hard.’’

 

Más buadhach, Kiko Martinez says “I would like to stay at this weight because I feel much stronger. But I would definitely love a rematch with Frampton or Quigg.’’

 

Regarding the Frampton-Quigg 122-pound world title unification that also takes place onFeabhra. 27 (i Manchain, Sasana, beo ar Showtime bhfíor®), Martinez didn’t hesitate when picking a winner.

 

“Frampton will win against Quigg,’’ Martinez said. “He’s the more complete boxer. He is stronger as well.”

 

Sa Feabhra. 27 co-feature on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, hard-hitting Mexican warriors Iúil Ceja (30-1, 27 Kos) agus Hugo Ruiz (35-3, 31 Kos) will box in a rematch of an exciting, two-way slugfest for the WBC 122-pound world title that Ceja won from Ruiz on a fifth-round knockout last August

 

Rounding out the televised tripleheader is a 10-round fight between undefeated heavyweights Gerald Washington (16-0-1, 11 Kos) of Vallejo, Calif., and Montreal-based Colombian Oscar Rivas (18-0, 13 Kos).

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Feabhra 9, 2016) – Hard-hitting Mexican warriors Iúil Ceja (30-1, 27 Kos) agus Hugo Ruiz(35-3, 31 Kos) engaged in a memorable back-and-forth battle for the WBC 122-pound world title last August and they are eager to meet in the ring again to deliver another explosive fight. The eagerly awaited return bout is part of a tripleheader on Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® beo ar Showtime® (10 p.m. AGUS/7 p.m. PT) from Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
Headlining the event is undefeated featherweight world champion Leo Santa Cruz in his first title defense against former champ Kiko Martinez. Rounding out the televised tripleheader is a 10-round fight betweenundefeatedheavyweights Gerald Washington agus Oscar Rivas.
Ceja recovered from a third-round knockdown to claim world title glory with a fifth-round stoppage of Ruiz, and he has promised once again to leave the fans thrilled.
“One thing I can tell you, is that this fight will be as exciting as the first one,” said Ceja. “You don’t want to miss it. War is coming.”
When Ceja and Ruiz clashed in Los Angeles last August, it was the U.S. debut for both and was also on a card headlined by Santa Cruz.
“I knew it was a big step up in my career to get a fight in the U.S.,” said Ruiz, “It was very emotional to be fighting in front of so many Mexican fans on such an important card.”
In an excellent two-way matchup contested in the middle of the ring, Ceja and Ruiz combined to throw 373 power punches in just five rounds, with Ceja benefiting from a 96-67 advantage in power punches landed. It was the sharp-shooting Ruiz who struck the first big blow of the match however, as he caught a lunging Ceja with a perfect left hook that put him down with just under a minute left in the third round.
“He definitely hurt me with that punch,” said Ceja. “I went straight into his hand and to the floor. But thanks to my great conditioning, I recovered fast. I train in the altitude in Mexico and that gives me the strength to fight 15 babhtaí. I’m working just as hard this camp.”
“I feel like I have the advantage in speed and power,” said Ruiz. “I was looking for the knockout from the beginning and I will do that again on Feabhra 27.”
Showing little effect from the knockdown, Ceja made it through the third and had a solid fourth round against the lanky Ruiz. He began to work effectively inside the long reach of Ruiz and buzz him with left hooks and uppercuts. It was a perfectly timed left hook with 58 seconds remaining in the fifth round that put Ruiz down. Ruiz made it to his feet, but Ceja continued to batter him with both hands until the referee, Raul Caiz Sr., stepped in and stopped the fight at 2:34 isteach sa bhabhta.
“Ceja came into the fight very aggressively and he put just the right amount of pressure on me,” said Ruiz. “This defeat is behind me now, but I did gain experience from the defeat that I will take into this fight.”
Both men know that there is plenty of work to be done in training camp.
“There is no way to get into a comfort zone against Ruiz,” said Ceja. “Just because I beat him, it doesn’t make this fight easier. He’s smart, experienced and he won’t make the same mistakes again. He’s a guy who works distances perfectly and knows when to attack. We made mistakes in the first fight that we’re going to fix.”
“I’m working on my defense and on putting more pressure on him throughout this fight,” said Ruiz. “I have to be aware of his left hand. The hook hurt me last time so I have been working on getting my right hand up to block it. I have to use my skills to be victorious.”
With a world title on the line once again, expect similar fireworks when these two proud Mexican sluggers share the ring in Anaheim.
“I want all my Mexican fans to come out and watch this fight, you will not regret it,” said Ceja. “I want to keep my belt for a long time and I want the fans to remember my name.”
“This is going to be another very explosive fight,” said Ruiz. “Expect a lot of punches, but this time I will be walking out a world champion.”

Ba é an chéad chosaint teideal do DeGale, an 2008 Bhuaigh bonn óir Oilimpeach ón mBreatain a chuaigh ar an mbóthar go Bostún a bhuaigh an teideal níos luaithe i mbliana agus roghnaigh a chosaint i gcríoch naimhdeach.

 

Bute, a bhí ag iarraidh a bhuachaint ar ais an crios IBF chosain sé naoi n-uaire idir 2007 agus 2012, put on an inspired and gutsy performance in an electric atmosphere to open the new Videotron Centre in Quebec City. But the unbelievable pace, chomh maith le Arsenal de chearta overhand, shots comhlacht agus combos ón DeGale níos óige (22-1, 14 Kos) a bhí le bheith ar an difríocht mar a bhí ann DeGale 116-112, 117-111 (faoi ​​dhó).

 

"Tá mé óg agus tá mé úr. Tá mé ag buaice ceart anois,” DeGale said. “I’m ready for the best in the world. Creidmheasa a Bute – tá sé ina laoch mór agus creidim dom, Beidh sé ar ais. "

 

"Cosúil dúirt mé san am atá caite, tá sé ina Trodaire den chéad scoth. Tá mé fós ag rudaí ag obair ar sna trí nó ceithre bliana amach romhainn agus tá mé ag dul a bheith ar mo is fearr. "

 

Bute (32-3, 25 Kos) didn’t look anything like the fighter that lost to Carl Froch in 2012. But while the 35-year-old stalked the switch-hitting DeGale with a relentless attack, ní fhéadfadh sé a dhéanamh go leor chun overpower an ceantar supremely gníomhach, a chaith 524 puinseanna cumhachta i gcomparáid le 278 do Bute.

 

“I think it was a great fight. I did my best tonight,” Bute said. “I think it was a close fight. He’s an Olympic champion, he’s a world champion. If the judges give him the decision I respect that. I’ll be back in the gym to work hard and continue to fight. I think it was a very close fight. Táim sásta le mo chuid feidhmíochta agus beidh mé ar ais sa seomra aclaíochta chun filleadh ar an bhfáinne uair amháin eile.

 

“Bhí na trí bliana seo caite deacair dom. Tar éis dom Carl Froch a chailleadh ba thréimhse an-deacair dom é sin. Ghlac mé sos, agus anois tá mé ar ais. Is dóigh liom go hiontach, Is dóigh liom sláintiúil agus anois tá mé seans amháin níos mó a bheith ar ais ar an mbarr.

 

“B’fhéidir cúpla nóiméad gur fhan mé an iomarca agus nár chuir mé na puntaí le chéile agus lig mé do James troid orm. Nuair a bhrúigh mé brú agus bhrúigh mé ar ais bhuaigh mé an babhta. "

Alvarez, rangaithe Uimh. 2 ag an WBC ag 175 punt, Thosaigh tapaidh agus pocketed babhtaí in aghaidh an Uimh. 1 rangaithe Chilemba iomaitheoir. Ach sháraigh Chilemba an stoirm agus throid sé a bhealach ar ais sa troid mar nárbh fhéidir le Alvarez an luas a bhunaigh sé sna babhtaí níos luaithe a choinneáil suas.

 

An dá trodaithe tháinig amach le tuiscint ar práinne sa 12ú agus cinneadh a dhéanamh rann agus dá mbeadh bhuaigh Chilemba an babhta deiridh bheadh ​​an gcomhrac curtha rialaigh a tharraingt.

 

"Bhí a fhios agam go raibh mé a chríochnú an babhtaí níos déanaí láidir, ach creidim go raibh mé go leor a bhuaigh an troid,"A dúirt Alvarez. “Táim réidh glacadh leis an dúshlán agus aghaidh a thabhairt ar Stevenson. Chun a bheith ar an curadh domhanda, tá tú chun buille an curadh. Mar sin, go bhfuil an méid aidhm agam a dhéanamh. "

 

Mark argóint go ALVAREZ, a troideanna as Montreal in aice láimhe, Ba tairbhí "breith bhaile dúchais,"Cé go raibh a tharraingt ar an breitheamh a bhí i mbun an troid i áitiúil agus an dá cheann eile a bhí ó chríocha neodrach.

 

"Shíl mé go raibh mé go leor a bhuaigh sé,Dúirt Chilemba. “Ach is mar atá sé. Buille faoi thuairim mé féidir leat glaoch sé cinneadh bhaile dúchais. "

 

Tar éis an troid, Óstach Showtime Spóirt Brian Custer shuigh síos le Stevenson a fháil ar a smaointe ar Alvarez-Chilemba agus a todhchaí.

 

"Bhí sé dtroid fhisiciúil gar,"A dúirt Stevenson. "Sé (Alvarez) Bhuaigh troid ach bhí sé an-dlúth. "

 

"Labhairt linn faoi Kovalev mar gheall ar an WBC céimeanna fós air an Uimh. 1 contender. Ba mhaith liom troid go dtarlóidh. Ba mhaith leis an lucht leanúna go dtarlódh sé. Dúirt mé go bhfuil Meitheamh foirfe dom. Dúirt sé ‘Ceart go leor, Meitheamh,'A dúirt Kathy Duva' Fadhb ar bith, Meitheamh. ’Ansin dúirt sí ar HBO. Dúirt mé, 'Déan dearmad faoi na teilifíseáin, lig dóibh labhairt. ’Teastaíonn uainn go dtarlódh an troid. Lig do na teilifíseáin oibriú le chéile agus é a chur i gcrích.

 

“Ba mhaith liom troid i gcoinne Kovalev. Sin an deis is fearr domsa mar teastaíonn a theidil uaim. Cinnte, tarlóidh an troid seo i mí an Mheithimh. Níl aon fhadhb agam; níl aon fhadhb ag m'fhoireann. Ba mhaith liom an troid seo i mí an Mheithimh.

 

Tá eagla ar Kovalev. I talked to him, saw it in his eyes that he’s scared of me. It will happen, but I know Kovalev is scared. I want Kovalev. I’m very hungry to get his titles.”

 

Adrian Granados Mhair le knockdown chéad bhabhta le turraing undefeated ionchas Super lightweight Amir Imam i bout oscailt Showtime Dornálaíocht AR SHO bhfíor le TKO bhabhta ochtú (2:34).

 

Bhí sé ina defeat crushing do Imam, a chuaigh isteach sa troid mar an Uimh. 1 iomaitheoir éigeantach WBC Super Lightweight Domhanda Champion Viktor Postol.

 

Imam looked like he was going to finish the fight early after a nice left-right combo floored the Chicago native. But after escaping the first, Granados dheachtú an luas an troid, worked the inside and prevented Imam – considered one of boxing’s most talented young contenders – from establishing his jab. With Imam unable to keep the fight at a distance, Granados picked apart the Don King-promoted fighter. After seven rounds of punishment and Iman gasping for air against the ropes Granados finished his opponent with a series of devastating combo shots.

 

An Granados elated (15-3-2, 10 Kos), a bhfuil caillteanais do trodaithe le taifead comhcheangailte 49-0, Phléadáil a chás a bheith ar an iomaitheoir éigeantach.

 

"Creidim ba chóir dom a bheith ar an iomaitheoir éigeantach,” Granados said. “He was in line and I stopped him. Cad is brí le sin? Come on. Ba mise an underdog, ach tháinig mé díreach tar éis é a thógáil. Tháinig mé chun é a chur.

 

"Measann sé go hiontach. Chomh luath agus a bhí mé wobbled leis go raibh mé cosúil, 'Tá tú a fháil dó anois. An uair seo níl tú á thógáil uaim. ’Cnaipe splanc a bhí ann. Ghabh sé leis na láimhe deise, ach bhí mé ceart go leor. Popped mé díreach tar éis ceart suas agus bhí a fhios agam go raibh sé ag dul chun iarracht a chríochnú dom.

Amir LOVE

"Tá a fhios agam Tá mé ag cur i mbaol ag cur an troid ach tá mé ag dul leas a bhaint as seo a. I ndáiríre ní gá chuid eile mar go bhfuil mé sa seomra aclaíochta ar aon nós. Mar sin, a ligean ar a fháil ach an troid amach as an mbealach agus beidh mé ag fanacht ach le haghaidh an troid teideal domhan.

 

"Ní dóigh liom a bhraitheann brú. Tá a fhios agam cad a léim mé isteach nuair a fuair mé isteach chluiche seo dornálaíochta gairmiúil, agus tá mé ar fhoireann maith timpeall orm. Táimid ag ciorcal daingean agus an-láidir, agus nuair a thagann na deiseanna, Beidh mé réidh leas a bhaint as é.

 

"Is iad na daoine ag caint mar gheall orm ar mian leo dul i ngleic Errol Spence agus ag fáil díoltas (ar U.S anuas. Trialacha dornálaíochta caillteanas Oilimpeacha). Ní dóigh liom go díoltas ar mo intinn. Ciallaíonn mé, féidir linn a dhéanamh cinnte é nuair a bhogann mé suas rang meáchain, ach anois tá mé dírithe ar lámhaigh teideal 140-punt. Ba mhaith liom go lámhaigh teideal go luath 2016 aghaidh (curadh domhan atá ann faoi láthair WBC) Viktor Postol.

 

"(Postol) Is Trodaire maith agus fuair sé an teideal ar chúis, ach ní féidir leat a cheilt agus a reáchtáil ar feadh ró-fhada agus tá mo chuid ama ag teacht an bhliain seo chugainn. A gheobhaidh tú cosanta amháin agus ansin tá sé go léir dom. Tá sé ar fad Máistir Óga. "

 

ADRIAN Granados

"Ba mhaith liom a rá go bhfuil sé seo an gcomhrac is mó de mo shaol. Sé ag dul a bheith ina troid mór agus tá mé ag súil go mór le oíche mhór.

 

"(Imam ar) bhí a lán de uirlisí agus tá sé an-éirimiúil. Beidh muid a chur air ar feadh na trí bhabhta agus coigeartuithe mar a théann an gcomhrac.

 

"Tá mé go maith rebounded. Níl mé sásta leis an mbealach go bhfuil mo shaol imithe agus bhí a lán de na cinntí olc agus fadhbanna bainistíochta. Ní raibh mé a thabhairt chomh maith mar a bhí mo chéile comhraic. Ach tá sé chabhraigh liom fás roinnt craiceann tiubh agus tréithe le cén fáth Tá mé anseo inniu.

 

"Tá mé ag tabhairt aghaidhe trodaithe diana roimh agus ní hí sin an chéad uair a Bainim an underdog. Beidh mé ag tarraingt amach an trína chéile.

 

"Tá mé ag iarraidh a turraing an domhain dornálaíochta ar an Satharn oíche. "

 

Oscar Rivas

"Is é mo neart mo luas agus an bealach a chuir mé brú ar mo chéile comhraic. Mar sin, tá mé ag dul i ndiaidh (Abell) agus beidh a chur ar a lán brú air go dtí go dtagann sé.

 

"Tá mé chomh sásta agus elated chun troid arís ar stáitse mór. Throid mé ar ShoBox i mo troid seo caite agus bhí sé iontach. Tá sé chomh tábhachtach dom a fháil le feiceáil mar sin is féidir liom a chomhlíonadh mo bhrionglóid agus dul isteach ar an barr 10 i mo roinn.

 

"Is é seo an gcomhrac is mó de mo shaol agus an deis is mó Tá mé go raibh riamh. Ba mhaith liom ach chun a chinntiú grab mé é agus táim iontach. "

 

STACY McKinley, Bainisteoir Imam agus oiliúnóir

"Ní féidir liom aon rud is gá dúinn a bheith ag obair ar a aimsiú. Is Amir láidir agus teicniúil iontaofa agus tá sé ag dul níos mó taithí gach uair troideanna sé. Tá sé ina pollaire tubaisteach. Tá sé an pacáiste iomlán agus go bhfuil an-dian ar shliocht a fháil. Níl siad teacht timpeall ró-mhinic.

 

"Ba mhaith liom dó chun troid Adrien Broner an bhliain seo chugainn. Ba mhaith liom dul i ngleic go léir na guys agus unify go léir na teidil an bhliain seo chugainn. Dornálaíochta ag dul go dtí gá superstar nua anois go bhfuil Floyd Mayweather imithe, agus ní táimid ag dul chun fanacht 15 bliain a dhéanamh lena chéile. I mo thuairimse, Amir unifies gach teidil ag 140 agus 147, ansin gur mhaith linn a bheith ar ár superstar nua laistigh 36 mhí.

 

"Tá sé a úsáid a jab a bhuachan ar an Satharn. Sé fuair jab álainn, an jab is fearr i dornálaíocht. Agus tá gach rud atá le teacht ceart taobh thiar dó. "
