Below is the schedule of SHOWTIME EXTREME premieres for the month of April:

  • Alhamisi, Aprili 7: Jorge Castro vs. John David Jackson I
  • Alhamisi, Aprili 14: Lucas Matthysse vs. John Molina Jr.
  • Alhamisi, Aprili 21: Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo I
  • Alhamisi, Aprili 28: Paulie Ayala vs. Johnny Tapia I

 

Castro-Jackson I (Desemba. 10, 1994, Castro KO 9) –Castro, thoroughly battered, bloodied and losing by a wide margin, rallies from the absolute brink of defeat to score three knockdowns in the ninth round to overcome Jackson in one of the most dramatic turnarounds ever.

 

Ayala-Tapia I (Juni 26, 1999, Ayala W 12) – In some of the fiercest two-way action in the history of Las Vegas boxing, southpaw Ayala hands Tapia his first professional loss in 49 fights and captures the WBA bantamweight title by the scores of 115-114 na 116-113 mara mbili. Game On: As the boxers were being announced, Tapia walked across the ring and shoved Ayala causing a momentary skirmish.

 

Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo I (Mei 7, 2005, Corrales TKO 10)After nine intense, back-and-forth rounds, Corrales accomplishes the unthinkable, miraculously regrouping from mbili knockdowns in the 10th to stop Castillo in the same round (2:06) and etch his spot in boxing lore. After managing to beat the count (and lose a point for excessive spitting out of the mouthpiece), Corrales got Castillo on the ropes and connected with a huge right hand. He continued to unload and Castillo got nailed with a bundle of vicious punches. Muda mfupi baadaye, the ref stopped it.

 

Lucas Matthysse-John Molina Jr. (Aprili 26, 2014, Matthysse KO 11)Abloody slugfest, in which both fighters were knocked down multiple times,became an instant classic. Matthysse who went down in the second and fifth rounds, came back with a late-fight onslaught to wear down and drop Molina in the eighth, 10th na 11th raundi. The tremendous brawl was as brutal as it was exciting and more compelling to witness than anyone could have imagined.
