BROOKLYN (Juli 21, 2016) – The featherweight world championship clash between defending titlist Leo Santa Cruz and undefeated former unified super bantamweight champ Carl Frampton features an unpredictable and potentially explosive mix of styles between two of the world’s top fighters.
Santa Cruz (32-0-1, 18 KO) will make the second defense of his WBA Featherweight Title against Irish superstar Frampton (22-0, 14 KO), who relinquished two belts at 122 pond, when they face off in the main event of a Showtime Championship Boxing® tripleheader on Zaterdag, Juli 30, live op SHOW TIME (9 p.m. EN/6 p.m. PT) van Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Three-division world champion Santa Cruz ranks as one of the world’s top-three fighters in four key categories – Total Punches Thrown, Landed, Connect Percentageen Power Punches Landed (all per round, per CompuBox).
The numbers prove that Santa Cruz is one of the best punchers in the world, toppingGennady Golovkin, Manny Pacquiao and ranking only second by a small margin to pound-for-pound champ Romeins “Chocolatito” Gonzalez in Power Punches Landed Per Round.
More impressively, Santa Cruz ranks as the world’s best in the Plus/Minus category that was dominated for years by pound-for-pound champ Floyd Mayweather. In that statistical measure, which is determined by subtracting opponents connect percentage from a fighter’s connect percentage, Santa Cruz stands tall at No. 1 (+15.8% per fight), gevolgd door Andre Ward (+15.3), Golovkin (+15.2), Erislandy Lara (+14.5), Terence Crawford(+13.2), Roman Gonzalez (+12.5) en Canelo Alvarez (+12).
While Santa Cruz is a statistical leader in five key categories, defending Santa Cruz’s biggest strength – macht stoten – is one of Frampton’s greatest attributes. In his last six fights, Frampton’s opponents landed just 29.2 percent of their power punches. Comparatively, Santa Cruz landed an astonishing 46.9 percent of his power shots over his last eight fights. Can both fighters continue at this impressive rate when they faceoff on Juli 30?
Frampton ranks in the top 10 van Opponents Power Punches Connected, meaning he stops his opponents from landing power shots at a staggering rate. Frampton ranks No. 10 in a group that features Guillermo Rigondeaux, Lara, Wladimir Klitschko, Afdeling en Crawford.
Daarnaast, Frampton is the second best in the world in Average Number Of Jabs Thrown Per Round, behind leader Jezus Cuellar and well ahead of Rigondeaux (Niet Doen. 5), Golovkin (Niet Doen. 6), Crawford (Niet Doen. 7) en Kell Brook (Niet Doen. 8). Santa Cruz is also a statistical leader in this category, ranking No. 9 in de wereld.
Below is the list of categories where Santa Cruz and Frampton excel:
PLUS/MINUS (hit vs. get hit):
Santa Cruz ranks as the world’s best, followed by Andre Ward (Niet Doen. 2), Gennady Golovkin (Niet Doen. 3), Erislandy Lara (Niet Doen. 4), Terence Crawford (Niet Doen. 5), Roman Gonzalez (Niet Doen. 6) and Canelo Alvarez (Niet Doen. 7). The retired Floyd Mayweather had previously held the top spot.
TOTAL PUNCHES THROWN PER ROUND:
Leo Santa Cruz only trails Roman Gonzalez in terms of total punches thrown per round. Santa Cruz (Niet Doen. 2) tops Jesus Ceullar (Niet Doen. 3), Juan Francisco Estrada (Niet Doen. 6), Orlando Salido (Niet Doen. 7) and Gennady Golovkin (Niet Doen. 9). Santa Cruz throws 84.6 total punches per round, compared to boxing’s overall average of 55.5.
AVERAGE TOTAL PUNCHES LANDED PER ROUND:
Santa Cruz trails Roman Gonzalez by less than two percent, connecting at a 33.1 percent clip compared to the overall average of 16.9. At No. 2, Santa Cruz tops pound-for-pound mainstays Gennady Golovkin (Niet Doen. 3) and Juan Francisco Estrada (Niet Doen. 4). Santa Cruz’s average more than doubles the CompuBox average punches landed per round of 16.9.
TOTAL CONNECT PERCENTAGE:
Santa Cruz ranks in the top three in this important category in which only a few percentage points separate the world’s best. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. ranks No. 1, followed by Golovkin, Santa Cruz, Roman Gonzalez, Adrien Broner and Andre Ward respectively. Bij 39.2 procent, Santa Cruz landed at a nearly 10 percent higher rate than the overall average.
AVERAGE POWER PUNCHES LANDED PER ROUND:
Santa Cruz is second in the world in this category, trailing only Roman Gonzalez by a slim margin and topping Juan Francisco Estrada (Niet Doen. 3), Abner Mares (Niet Doen. 5), Golovkin (Niet Doen. 7) en Pacquiao (Niet Doen. 8) onder andere.
AVERAGE JABS THROWN PER ROUND:
Santa Cruz and Frampton both rank in the top 10 in average number of jabs thrown per round.
Frampton, who is second in the world behind leader Jesus Cuellar, tops master jabbers Rigondeaux (Niet Doen. 5), Golovkin (Niet Doen. 6), Crawford (Niet Doen. 7) and Brook (Niet Doen. 8). Santa Cruz is ninth best in this category. Frampton, who trails Cuellar by just one percentage point, throws 13 more jabs per round than the overall average.
OPPONENTS POWER PUNCHES CONNECTED:
Frampton is amongst the world’s best at preventing his opponent from landing power shots. He ranks at No. 10 in a category that includes Rigondeaux (Niet Doen. 1), Lara (Niet Doen. 2), Wladimir Klitschko (Niet Doen. 3), Afdeling (Niet Doen. 4) and Crawford (Niet Doen. 5). Frampton’s opponents landed just 29.2 percent of their power shots.

Hier is wat de deelnemers te zeggen had Dinsdag:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
“My dream is to be the next big thing in boxing. We’re going to work hard every day in the gym, learn from our mistakes and improve so I can be the best fighter out there. With the help of the fans and the media I think I can accomplish that.
“He has great skills, great punches and he moves very well. It’s going to be a tough fight for me but I’m going to work hard to defend my belt.
“I see Frampton as someone trying to come and take away everything I worked hard for. I can’t let that happen. I’m going to do what I have to do to get the win.
“Hij is een zeer ervaren vechter. He has great power and I think it’s going to be an exciting fight. These are the kind of guys I want to fight. It gives me even more motivation to get in the gym and train hard.
“I’ve known Mikey Garcia from the amateur days and our families have sparred with each other. I’ve even trained with Robert Garcia before. To see another great Mexican fighter go over to New York is very exciting. I’m very happy for him. He’s a great guy and a great fighter.
“I think Frampton will keep his power up the weight classes. He couldn’t make 122-pounds anymore and he’s said that he will be even stronger this time. Dat is goed. That’s what I want. I want him to feel good so it’ll be a tough and entertaining fight.
“I can’t let him come over to the U.S. and get this win. We’re going to go out there and see if he can bring the best out of me. I’m going to be one-hundred percent ready.
“I’m comfortable at 126-pounds. I want to get this win against Carl Frampton and then unify against Gary Russell Jr., Lee Selby or any of the champions. When my body is ready we’ll move up in weight to seek another world title.
“When I first started boxing all I ever thought about was being a world champion one time. Then after I got there I started pushing my goals. If I continue to keep learning and improve as a fighter, I could go all the way up to 140-pounds.
“I’m thrilled to be fighting in New York. It’s going to be my first time out there. I’m excited to meet new fans. The people who have wished I would fight in New York will get to see me. There are people that don’t know me and this my opportunity to be impressive and put on a show for them.”
MIKEY GARCIA
“I’m a well-rounded fighter. I can adjust to just about any style. I get a lot of diverse sparring so that I can adjust to anything Rojas might bring. Training camp has been going very well and I think it’s going to be a good night for me.
“I’ve seen Rojas before. I saw him when he was champion. He’s a good fighter with a lot of experience. He can definitely box and has a good right hand. He lost his title to a great champion. He’s very skilled and experience.
“Both of us are boxers and we tend to try to work from a distance. This time I may have to look for the fight a bit more and apply some pressure. If he tries to box around, I’ll find him. I think my power will eventually be the difference and I’ll break him down.
“I don’t believe there will be ring rust because I was never really outside of the ring. I’ve been in the gym the whole time, sparring and training. I would spar 10 of 12 rondes, just to do it. Not because I had a fight, but just to keep me active. I know it seems like a long time, but I don’t really see it. I feel like I was gone six months.
“I want to fight at 135 and fight for a title there. I’m going to see how my body feels after this fight, but that’s the plan as of now. We’re not looking past Elio. I definitely want to get back in the ring soon if everything goes right.
“I have no regrets. I’ve got to enjoy myself more than I had in the last 10 jaar. When you’re in boxing, it’s a year round sport. You don’t have time to yourself, for your family or friends. You miss out on a lot. I learned a lot in my time away about boxing and more.
“This will end up being about a seven-week training camp, but even prior to that I’ve been staying in the gym. I don’t feel any different. I feel one-hundred percent. My body is well-rested which makes me hungrier and more motivated.
“I’ve fought in New York before and it’s always been a great and very supportive crowd. I was at Barclays Center for the first time on June 25 for Thurman-Porter and it was a great arena. It had great energy and I can’t wait to fight there. I can’t wait to fight at Barclays.
“It’s great to be in the gym with all these different types of fighters that my brother trains. I have a lot of very intense sparring. I’ve gotten a chance to really learn from the different styles and it definitely helps me.”
IVAN REDKACH
“This is an excellent fight for me. I’m closing in to a title shot and I’m going to be ready on Juli 30.
“I have a plan for this fight. You’ll see it in the ring. I’m going to make this an exciting fight.
“A title fight is my motivation but my focus in fully on Juli 30. Everything I’ve done is to lead up to a world title fight.
“I know that my opponent is slick and very fast. He’s a good boxer but we’ll see what he brings to the ring.
“This is my first camp with Leo Santa Cruz and his team and it’s been going very well. I feel very prepared to fight.”
ANTONIO SANTA CRUZ, Leo’s Brother & Trainer
“This camp feels very close to the same as usual. Mijn vader (Jose) is usually the one who tells us what to do. I’m in the ring with Leo but he’s still there. He is sick but he is still going to the gym. He wants to be there for Leo.
“Frampton is a good fighter. He’s going to give my brother a good fight. Short guys are tougher for Leo so we’re making sure we have sparring with fighters of all heights. Frampton won’t be hard to get inside but his height could pose a problem.
“It’s a little bit more pressure on me. I’m trying to show my father that I can learn and help Leo be at his best. I think he’s going to have a great night.”
JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Leo’s Father & Trainer
“Ik voel me goed. Right now I’m going to the gym every day. Leo looks good in the ring and is training very well.
“Little by little Antonio is learning and even I’m still learning. We’re both getting better as trainers and that is our goal, om goed te zijn. I feel the love from my sons and I love them a lot too. I’m proud of them and I’m proud that they are my sons.
“Leo is very calm. I don’t think Leo is going to be affected by traveling to New York. Even if he doesn’t have the majority of the fans, I don’t think it will affect him.
“You never know how it’s going to go on fight night. You can prepare in the gym, but sometimes, once you’re up in the ring, a fight can get complicated.
“Even if I can’t make it to New York, I’m going to watch the fight. Even if it’s with one eye open, I’m going to watch.”
ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & Trainer
“Mikey definitely wants to win a title at 135-pounds. There are some good champions out there but not necessarily a huge name. Eventually Mikey would want to go up to 140-pounds where I believe there are a lot of exciting fights that could be made.
“Elio is a fighter that has been off for a while and he’s a former world champion. He’s also trying to come back and make a statement. We have to be prepared for the opponent to be at the top of his game.
“Now that he’s got a date and with the training and sparring, Mikey has been looking really good. It’s been a while. We might see a little bit of rust, a little bit of adjustment to timing. But the way he’s been in the gym, against top quality fighters, he’s been looking so good that I wouldn’t be surprised if he put on one of his best performances.”

Hier is wat de deelnemers te zeggen had Donderdag:
CARL FRAMPTON
“I want to be in exciting fights. From here on in my career, Ik wil groot zijn. Who better to face than Leo Santa Cruz? This is a chance to put my name down in history and become a two-weight world champion from Ireland.
“I’ve been listening to Barry McGuigan since I turned professional. I just wanted to soak all of it up like a sponge. He’s got so much knowledge and he’s been around for so many years. I just need to be around him and learn. Shane does an amazing job training me, and between the two of them, I feel like I’m benefitting every day.
“It’s very nice to be here in Brooklyn, it’s a lovely borough and it’s so great to be here in New York. There are a lot of boxing fans in New York and I really think this is the number one city for boxing.
“We’re bringing a lot of lads from back home, and I also hope the Irish-Americans get to know my name, and everyone in Brooklyn as well. I expect about 1,500 traveling fans from Belfast. I think I’ll have more support than Santa Cruz.
“This fight is huge for me because I really want to create a legacy. I know how people talk, and I think people will be talking about this for a very long time. I want people to remember me as a great fighter, that’s all.
“I train very hard for every fight. No less or no more for Santa Cruz. We’re expecting a very tough fight with a lot of action.
“The last time I was an underdog was the Irish championships, when I was an amateur. You could have got me at 11:2, I was a massive underdog. I dropped him pretty early on, so the last time I was an underdog, a lot of people who knew me made a lot of money. It’s going to be the same result this time.
“Moving up to 126 pounds was definitely the right decision for me. I’m a big puncher but I lost power coming down to 122 pond. I’m going to be punching harder and be at my very best.
“I’m right on the door step of everything. I’m so excited for fight night, it’s going to be a truly special experience.
“It’s important to be recognized in the States. This is where all of the great fighters from around the world end up fighting, and I really want to be recognized as a great fighter.”
Paulie Malignaggi
“I think my fight with Bracero is an interesting clash of styles. We have similar styles in that we like to box and counter punch but we’re also both very familiar with each other. I’m sure he’ll have something up his sleeve for me.
“Making this kind of all-Brooklyn fight is great for the fans. We both have our own followings so it should make for an electric atmosphere at Barclays Center.
“The main event is going to be a great fight. When you look at the styles and the pedigrees of both men, it’s hard to predict what’s going to happen. Both guys have exciting styles so I’m betting on the fans getting their money’s worth.”
BARRY McGuigan, Frampton's Manager, Voormalig wereldkampioen & Hall of Famer
“After Carl defeated Scott Quigg and became a unified champion at 122 pond, we believe that all of the exciting fights in that division have passed. We want to be involved in exciting fights.
“The Quigg fight wasn’t as exciting as we would have liked, but we knew it was going to be like that. We knew he’d come on late in the fight and we had our tactics planned well. This is going to be a much better fight because Santa Cruz is brave and takes chances. He also has underrated boxing skills.
“Shane is making Carl a better fighter every day. Every day that you don’t get better is a day you wasted. Carl is in the best physical shape of his career and we will have a plan A, B and C for this fight.
“Santa Cruz is a great fighter. He’s low-key, humble and he hasn’t talked trash. This will be Carl’s hardest fight. It feels great to be involved helping Carl reach his maximum potential, it’s the second best thing to being in the ring yourself.
“We believe 100 percent in Frampton’s ability to win this fight and that he will be successful on fight night.
“There are some great fights out there for Carl. We’re 100 percent committed to Juli 30 but there are lots of great fights in the featherweight division. We will have lots of support on fight night and I have no doubt there will be a large Irish crowd there to support Carl.”
SHANE McGuigan, Frampton's Trainer
“Leo Santa Cruz is unbeaten and there aren’t really any weaknesses from my perspective. He’s a phenomenal fighter, but I don’t believe he’s fought a fighter of Carl Frampton’s caliber, as an all-around fighter.
“When he meets someone who is as good, or in my opinion, better than him, we’ll see what he’s made of. I think it’s going to make for one of the most exciting fights of the year.
“I wouldn’t be taking on this fight it I wasn’t extremely confident in Carl, even though he’s coming in as the underdog. I don’t think Santa Cruz has ever felt the power that Carl brings before. I think Carl can beat him comfortably if he continues to prepare well, and then steps into the ring and does what he’s capable of doing.
“We’re finishing up camp now and making sure we’re 100 percent read. We have to be 100 percent to fight Leo Santa Cruz.
“Carl is extremely heavy-handed. He’s extremely skillful, a true all-rounder. He really lives the life, and that makes it easy for me. The way he trains, how he eats, how he sleeps: he takes it seriously and takes care of himself.
“The transition coming over to New York to finish training camp has been great. We could have waited until closer to fight night but we want every single percent to our advantage.
“We’re still acclimatizing to the heat, the jet lag is no problem and we’re going to be ready on fight night.
“This fight is history in the making. It’s a fight that can really put Carl on the map. It’s always a huge opportunity when you’re fighting for a title, against someone of Santa Cruz’s caliber.”

BROOKLYN (Juni 28, 2016)—Undefeated former two-division world champion Mikey Garcia will return to the ring after a two-and-a-half-year layoff on Zaterdag, Juli 30 on an exciting night of boxing on SHOW TIME en Showtime EXTREME that is one of the strongest cards ever assembled at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

 

Garcia, who won world titles at featherweight and super featherweight, will fight former world champion Elio Rojas in a 10-round bout in the Showtime Championship Boxing co-feature of the Leo Santa Cruz vs. Carl Frampton event presented by Premier Boxing Champions (PBC).

 

In the opening bout of the Showtime Championship Boxing telecast that begins at 9 p.m. EN/6 p.m. PT, once-beaten 154-pound contenders Tony Harrison en Sergey Rabchenko will meet in a 12-round IBF Junior Middleweight Eliminator. Harrison and Rabchenko will square off for the No. 2 mandatory challenger spot to IBF titlist Jermall Charlo, who successfully defended his crown on Mei 21, and undefeated contender Julian Williams, who earned the No. 1 mandatory position on Maart 5, both on SHOWTIME. Harrison vs. Rabchenko is the sixth matchup in 2016 between top 154-pound fighters, a lineup showcasing three world title fights and three title elimination matches in one of boxing’s deepest divisions.

 

The combined record of the six fighters on the SHOWTIME telecast is an impressive 162-4-1 met 113 knock-outs.

 

An all-Brooklyn showdown between welterweight technicians Paulie "Magic Man" Malignaggi en Gabriel “Tito” Bracero highlights the undercard action on SHOWTIME BOXING on SHOWTIME EXTREME. The 10-round bout is a matchup between a former two-division world champion, Malignaggi, and a fellow Brooklyn native, Bracero, coming off the biggest win of his career when he knocked out Danny O'Connor in oktober vorig jaar.

 

A 10-round clash between once-beaten lightweight John Redkach and streaking Tevin Farmer, een winnaar van 14 straight, will open the SHOWTIME EXTREME telecast live at 7 p.m. EN/PT.

 

De Juli 30 event at Barclays Center comes on the heels of last Saturday’s potential Fight of the Year thriller between Keith Thurman en Shawn Porter, a back-and-forth slugfest that generated the top grossing live gate and second-highest attended boxing event in venue history.

 

“This is the strongest card from top to bottom that I have promoted at Barclays Center,” said DiBella Entertainment President Lou DiBella. “Every single fight is significant and competitive, and this is a great follow up from the tremendous success that boxing had with Thurman-Porter this past weekend.”

 

“This will be our 19th boks, but from top to bottom it’s arguably our best card yet,” said Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment CEO Brett Yormark. “We are excited to welcome undefeated Santa Cruz and Frampton to Brooklyn for the first time, a fight that could rival Barclays Center’s epic Thurman-Porter bout for Fight of the Year. It’s also a pleasure to welcome Brooklyn’s own Paulie Malignaggi back to Barclays Center for the fifth time and to host the return of Mikey Garcia after a two and a half year hiatus. Juli 30 is going to be another big night for BROOKLYN BOXING.”

 

“We are excited to be part of Mikey Garcia’s return to the ring. Before the layoff, he was a two-division world champion and considered one of the top boxers in the world. We know he is determined to reclaim his place among the elite,"Zei Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President & General Manager, Showtime Sport. “SHOWTIME has distinguished itself by delivering the most compelling matchups and the most important events in boxing all year long. There is no other network as committed to the sport, en de Juli 30 evenement, from top-to-bottom, is a prime example.”

 

MIKEY GARCIA vs. ELIO ROJAS

“I expect to pick up right where I left off,” Garcia told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray last Saturday on CBS. “I was a world champion, I was undefeated, and I still am. I didn’t leave because I was injured. I think I’ll come back even better. I’m hungrier now than I was before.

 

“I just have to get one fight in. This first fight with Elio (Rojas) will be somewhere between 135 en 140 pond, but I want to fight at 135 and win a title there. I want to win a title there and keep going after champion after champion. Now that all that (uncertainty) is behind me I look forward to the next stage of my career. This next stage of my career will be what people remember me for.”

 

“Mikey Garcia is a great fighter,” Rojas said. “I want to thank him for this opportunity. We are both former WBC World Champions and I expect a great fight. Echter, all of the talk surrounding this fight has been about Mikey’s comeback and his future plans. I am no tune-up. This is also about me coming back and fighting again. He may be looking past me, but I am fully focused on him and securing the victory. I will do whatever I have to do to win, so I can move on and regain my world championship.”

 

Garcia (34-0, 28 KO), Ventura, Calif., is 28-years-old and in the prime of his career. Once considered one of the top young boxers pound-for-pound in the world, he will make his first ring appearance since he retained the WBO 130-pound title with a 12-round unanimous decision overTijdelijke afbeelding voor Juan Carlos Burgos op Jan. 25, 2014. Garcia, the brother of renowned trainer Robert Garcia, has been victorious by knockout in 10 van zijn laatste 12 fights and holds impressive victories overRoman “Rocky” Martinez, Juan Manuel Lopez, Orlando Salido en Bernabe Concepcion.

 

Rojas (24-2, 14 KO), of San Francisco de Macoris, Dominicaanse Republiek, won the WBC featherweight world championship in 2009 with a 12-round unanimous decision over defending titleholder Takahiro Ao in Japan. The 33-year-old successfully defended the title against Guty Espadas Jr. in 2010, before losing the belt via unanimous decision to Jhonny Gonzalez in april 2012. Since the loss to Gonzalez, Rojas moved up to lightweight, waar hij versloeg Robert Osiobe in augustus 2014.

 

TONY HARRISON vs. SERGEY RABCHENKO:

“I’m thrilled to return to the ring on this big stage for my first fight in Brooklyn, and I’m ready to put on a show,” said Harrison. “Fighting for a world title is my dream and I know that I have a challenge in front of me. I’m working hard in camp to get another knockout and to make my mark on the division.”

 

“This is the start of realizing my dream,” Rabchenko said. “America is the Mecca of boxing so it is a huge privilege for me to be asked to fight there. American fans like to see knockouts and I like to knock people out so I think they will like what they see. I think I can build a fan base there. I am hungrier than ever. I have not seen much of Harrison, but I am ready for anyone. People say he is a very good fighter with good power. I’m not worried. I have good power as well and I think I will have too much for him.”

 

Op slechts 25 jaar oud, Harrison (23-1, 19 KO) has showed tremendous promise. He manufactured a 10-fight knockout streak from 2013 naar 2015 and proved he could recover from a loss when he dominated Cecil McCalla voor 10 rounds in October 2015 en stopten Fernando Krijger in impressive fashion in March.

 

Fighting out of Belaraus, Rabchenko (27-1, 20 KO) is looking to put himself squarely into world title contention when he makes his U.S. debuut op Juli 30. The 30-year-old is coming off stoppage victories over Walter Calvo in mei 2015 and Miguel Aguilar in February.

 

Showtime EXTREME:

 

PAULIE MALIGNAGGI vs. GABRIEL Bracero:

“I feel truly blessed to have yet another opportunity to fight in Brooklyn,” Malignaggi said. “I have known Tito a long time and I know he always comes to fight. We will give the Brooklyn fans a great appetizer before the terrific main event later that night in Barclays Center.”

 

“I’m looking to make a statement by winning this fight,” said Bracero. “Paulie and I have been friends since the amateurs and I’m thankful to have this opportunity, but he’s had his run. Now it’s time for me to have mine. This fight is going to change my life.”

 

Een voormalige wereldkampioen op 140 en 147-pounds, the 35-year-old Malignaggi (35-7, 7 KO) will return to the ring to fight at Barclays Center for the fifth time. He has faced a slew of big names throughout his career and has been victorious over the likes of Zab Judah, Vyacheslav senchenko en Pablo Cesar Cano. Geboren en getogen in de wijk Brooklyn Bensonhurst, “The Magic Man” was victorious twice fighting in his birth country of Italy last year after unsuccessfully challenging unbeaten Danny Garcia in augustus.

 

Another Brooklyn-native, Bracero (24-2, 5 KO) comes off of a sensational one-punch knockout of rival Danny O'Connor in their rematch last October. The 35-year-old owns victories over Dmitry Salita en Pavel Miranda in addition to his first triumph over the previously unbeaten O’Connor in 2011.

 

IVAN REDKACH vs. TEVIN FARMER:

“I am extremely happy to be back in the ring on a big show in New York,” Redkach said. “There are so many Ukrainian fans in New York and I am thrilled to have their support and will put on a great show for them. I want to thank Leo Santa Cruz and his team for having me in their camp as we both prepare ourselves to put on tremendous performances come Juli 30."

 

“I couldn’t be more excited about this fight,” Farmer said. “This is my Barclays Center debut and it is going to be a spectacular performance. I have called out anyone and everyone in the 130- pound division to no avail, so now I’m moving up to 135 to take on Redkach, one of the most feared punchers in the division. Redkach is an aggressive guy and I know he is coming to fight, but there is no way I leave that ring without my hand being raised. This is a fight where I can and I will make a major statement. I’m willing to fight whoever they put in front of me to inch closer to a world title opportunity and Juli 30 is another step in that direction. I tip my hat off to Redkach for giving me this fight, but this is my time to shine.”

 

Geboren in Oekraïne, maar uitvechten van Los Angeles, REDK (19-1-1, 15 KO) began boxing at the age of six and has put together an impressive career since turning pro in 2009. The 30-year-old owns victories over Tony Luis, Sergey Gulyakevich en Yakubu Hamidou. Meest recent, Redkach knocked out Erick Daniel Martinez in oktober 2015 and fought to a draw with Luis Cruz in april.

 

Vertegenwoordigt de strijdstad Philadelphia, Farmer (24-1-1, 5 KO) heeft gewonnen 14 bouts in a row since losing to unbeaten world champion Jose Pedraza in 2012. The 25-year-old has come on strong in recent years, upsetting previously unbeaten fighters such as Emmanuel Gonzalez, Angel Luna en Camilo Perez. Farmer dominated veteran Gamaliël Diaz in March and will make his Barclays Center debut on Juli 30.

SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL® CHARLES MARTIN vs. ANTHONY JOSHUA IBF HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TO AIR LIVE ON SHOWTIME® AT 5 P.m. ET/2 P.M. PT ONSATURDAY, April 9 FROM THE O2 IN LONDON

Laat een reactie achter

Encore Presentation At 8 P.m. EN/PT op Showtime EXTREME®

NEW YORK (Maart 29, 2016) - The Showtime Boxing INTERNATIONAL presentation of the IBF Heavyweight World Championship between undefeated American titlist Charles Martin and fellow unbeaten British Olympic Gold Medalist Anthony Joshua will air live on SHOW TIME bij 5 p.m. EN/2 p.m. PT opZaterdag, April 9 uit The O2 in Londen.

An encore presentation will air later that evening on SHOWTIME EXTREME at 8 p.m. EN/PT.

De Showtime Boxing INTERNATIONAL telecast will be hosted by Brian Custer with analysis from Al Bernstein en Paulie Malignaggi. Coverage of the event will be provided by Sky Sports with the play-by-play call from Nick Halling, analysis from Jim Watt en Carl Froch and post-fight interviews from Andy Scott.

The SHOWTIME telecast will include extensive highlights and analysis of the IBF Featherweight World Championship between defending titlist Lee Selby and American challenger Eric Hunter.

(EDITORS NOTE: Due to a change in the bout order at The O2 in London, SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL is unable to provide live coverage of this bout.)

Martin vs. Joshua is the third of four heavyweight title bouts in five months op Showtime (see details below). The scheduled 12-round matchup is the toughest test to date for both Martin (23-0-1, 21 KO) and Joshua (15-0, 15 KO), two bombers who boast a combined 94 percent knockout ratio.

Selby (22-1, 8 KO) vs. Jager (21-3, 11 KO) is the second of five scheduled featherweight title bouts in 2016 (details below), a lineup showcasing many of the world’s best 126-pounders aiming to unifying one of boxing’s deepest divisions.

“The heavyweight division is experiencing an incredible resurgence, and the featherweight division is rife with compelling matchups,"Zei Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President & General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports. “Martin vs. Joshua is a can’t-miss showdown between a newly minted American champion and one of the sport’s fastest-rising stars. And Selby vs. Hunter has major implications in the talent-rich division. We are proud to work with Matchroom Sport to deliver these pivotal matchups to the U.S. audience.”

“I’m the Heavyweight Champion of the World, and that’s why I have no problem traveling to England for my first title defense,” Martin said. “I only want to fight the best, and I plan on knocking Anthony Joshua out and taking his fans and the belt back with me.”

“The O2 is going to be rocking on April 9 and the U.S. fans are in for a treat when they see Charles and I clash,” Joshua said. “Credit to him for coming over after calling me out, but he doesn’t know what he’s getting himself in for. I am going to show all my power, all my speed and all my accuracy to put on the best display of my life and become the Heavyweight Champion of the World by knocking him out. I’m delighted that fans in the U.S. will be able to witness it.”

“After a great experience in my first defense in Arizona against Fernando Montiel, it’s nice to be back in front of my home fans at The O2 in London,” Selby said. “It’s going to be a crazy atmosphere with a 20,000 person sold-out arena. Hunter has talked a lot of trash and I’m looking forward to showing him what it’s like at the world championship level. He’s in for a shock.”

“He’s got a belt I want, and that’s all I know about him,” Hunter said. “My team knows more about him than I do. It’s their job to come up with a game plan. My job is train and get ready to perform my best. I can adjust to anything in the ring. I’m just here at the gym working my butt off to get the job done. I’m going to be more focused than I ever have been for this fight.”

The 6-foot-5 Martin won the IBF championship on Jan. 16 wanneer Vyacheslav Glazkov suffered a knee injury in the third round of their vacant world title fight. In capturing the IBF belt, Martin, van St. Louis, Mo., became just the sixth southpaw heavyweight champion in boxing history and the second current American heavyweight titlist.

While Martin has stopped his last 13 opponents and was the aggressor against Glazkov, the undefeated champ remains virtually untested. His first title defense and initial start outside the U.S., will take place at what is expected to be a pro-Joshua arena in London that sold out in just 90 seconden. The 29-year-old Martin, who is trained by U.S. Olympiër Henry Tillman in Big Bear, Calif., will be Joshua’s first professional southpaw opponent.

Joshua had a standout amateur career that culminated with an Olympic Gold Medal at super heavyweight in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Since turning professional in July 2013, the 6-foot-6 Joshua has steadily climbed through the ranks.

One of boxing’s most promising prospects, Joshua is coming off consecutive victories over previously undefeated opponents. In zijn laatste gevecht, the 26-year-old was pushed past the third round for the first time in his career. Joshua defeated Dillian Whyte via seventh-round knockout on December. 12. Nu, Joshua returns to The O2, the site of his professional debut and five of his 15 professionele periodes, in a bid to join Tyson Fury as the second current reigning British heavyweight champion.

Joshua is also looking to become the sixth super heavyweight Olympic Gold Medalist to win a heavyweight world title. If successful, he will join an impressive group that includes George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Lennox Lewis enWladimir Klitschko.

Geboren in Barry, Wales, Selby won his world title with a dominant technical decision over previously undefeated Evgeny Gradovich in mei 2015. The slick boxer made his first title defense in his U.S. debut last October, capturing a unanimous decision over former three-division champ Fernando Montiel.

The 29-year-old owns a slew of victories over previously unblemished fighters including Joel Brunker, Ryan Walsh, Viorel Simon, Corey McConnell enStephen Smith. He has won 18 straight since the lone blemish of his career, and six of his last eight victories came over previously undefeated opponents.

Jager, who will take a four-fight win streak into his initial start outside the U.S., has always possessed an abundance of talent. Before turning pro, the Philadelphia native was an outstanding amateur and an alternate on the U.S. Olympisch team.

The fast-handed 29-year-old has scored some solid victories as a pro, and his biggest enemy in a nine-year career has been himself – the switch-hitter doesn’t always keep his composure in check and allows his emotions get the best of him. Two of Hunter’s three losses came by disqualification, the last coming via DQ in 2013 tegen Mike Oliver for hitting at the break. The other came againstLuis Franco in 2010, when he had a point deducted in the second and was DQ’d in the eighth after repeated low blows.

If Hunter can keep his hot head from getting him in trouble, he’s confident he can upset Selby and join Leo Santa Cruz en Gary Russell Jr. as U.S.-born world champion at 126 pond.

(Former world champ Andre Berto with Denver Broncos Running Back Ronnie Hillman –
Photo via instagram.com/Andre Berto)

See below for Super Bowl 50 predictions from PBC fighters:
Andere Berto: I’ve got the Panthers by a dime. Man, that Broncos’ defense is ferocious! I’ve never seen any team get after a guy like they got after Tom Brady. So how is my boy Cam Newton gonna handle them? Have you seen Cam run? He’s gonna run right over them.
Against the Patriots, that defense was allowed to be ferocious, but Cam won’t allow that. As for [Broncos running back] Ronnie Hillman, he’s my dude; he’s just gotta work on them hands a little bit.
Dominic Breazeale: I’ve got the Panthers winning, 35-21. Cam Newton is just having way too much fun, and at this point, I would have to say the guy is unstoppable.
Omar Douglas: I’m going with Panthers. Cam Newton has played great all season and almost went undefeated. He is not your average quarterback. He can throw the long ball or run it in for a touchdown. And on top of it all, he’s having fun. It’s hard to beat a guy like that!
Omar Figueroa Jr: I don’t want to give a prediction. I love the Broncos like I love the San Antonio Spurs. But the Panthers are the Golden State Warriors of football right now. I see the Broncos having a really hard time keeping up.
Miguel Flores: Carolina has been smashing everyone, and Denver has been somewhat inconsistent. But after the Broncos’ most recent games and their showing on defense, I will have to stick with the famous cliché: “Offense wins games, defense wins championships.”
The Panthers have shown that they can be great offensively, but their defense hasn’t always been on point. So I’m going with the Broncos in a tight one.
Danny Garcia: I’m going with the Panthers. They’re rolling right now. They’ve got youth and energy, and they’ve got a lot of momentum going into the game. If they just stay focused and don’t party and get caught up [in the hype], they’ll win it.
Terrell Gausha: Panthers, because my bro that I went to high school with plays for Carolina: wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. Meer, I think they are just that good.
Tony Harrison: Carolina Panthers all the way. As a former high school quarterback, I love what Cam is doing for the game. He’s amazing. Ook, many people don’t know but my younger cousin, Devin Funchess (pictured above with Harrison while at the University of Michigan), plays wide receiver for the Panthers. So I’m always going with family in any situation.
Julius Jackson: I’ve got the Broncos. They have a better system as far as demonstrating an ability to play as a cohesive unit. That’s what will give them the edge.
Jamal James: I’m gonna have to go with the Panthers, because Cam Newton has been handling business. Meer, that team has kinda been an underdog. But every time people count them out, they come out and refuse to lose, which is something I respect and relate to.
Amir Khan: I would have to say that the Broncos have the veteran leadership in Peyton Manning and they’ve been there before, so they have the better overall experience. Maar op het einde, the youth and explosiveness of Cam Newton will win the day in what will be a hard-fought Panthers’ overwinning.
Paulie Malignaggi: I’m going with the underdog Broncos. Maybe it’s just going with my heart, but I’m a Manning fan, mainly because his brother is the QB for my New York Giants, so I’m keeping it in the family.
Abner Mares: I’m taking the Panthers. Cam Newton has a style on and off the field that just dominates. It’s the Panthers’ year, Cam is a tremendous leader and QB, and it’s time for a new dynasty to be born.
Shawn Porter: I think this is gonna be a great Super Bowl! It’s a very evenly matched game. Both teams are solid on both sides of the ball and have great quarterbacks. Peyton Manning is trying to solidify his status as an all-time great QB, and Cam Newton is trying to establish himself as a future great. I’m having a really hard time picking a winner, but personally I would love to see Cam Newton and the Panthers win.
Michael Seals: I’ve got to go with the Panthers. I’m gonna take Billy the Kid-Cam Newton-over the Old Deputy Sheriff, Peyton Manning.
Errol Spence Jr.: The Panthers will win because the Broncos’ defense will not be able to contain or stop Cam Newton. And the Panthers’ pass defense is too good for a shell-of-himself Peyton Manning. I went to school with [Broncos defensive end] Von Miller, but I want Cam to win.
Antonio Tarver: It’s a destiny type of year for Cam Newton and the Panthers. I don’t think anyone is gonna stop them. While my heart is with Denver and the wise old veteran Peyton Manning-us old guys gotta stick together-I have to put my money on Cam and the Panthers.
All I pray for is to go out like Peyton Manning: attempting to win it all before I retire. But I have to say the Panthers will win.
Austin Trout: I’ve got the Panthers winning. They’re just playing with great team chemistry and great leadership in Cam Newton. But I’m still J-E-T-S till I D-I-E.
Sammy Vasquez Jr.: It’s simple: Panthers all day. They’ve been on fire. Cam Newton deserves it now after putting in the years with the team and all the hard work. They work together as a team, and that’s a great part of being successful.
Deontay Wilder: I like the Panthers because Cam Newton is just on a different level, a force to be reckoned with.
Thomas Williams Jr.: I’m taking the Broncos simply because of the experience factor. Cam Newton’s year has been phenomenal; he is an MVP for sure. But I think Peyton Manning’s postseason and all-around experience will outweigh Cam’s magic.
This will be just another walk in the park for Manning, who has been in the tougher, more grueling games over the course of his career.
Final tally: Panthers 17, Broncos 4.

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS DETHRONES ANDY LEE ZATERDAG OM 12e HUIDIGE BRITSE WERELDKAMPIOEN TE WORDEN OP SHO EXTREME® VAN MANCHESTER,ENGELAND

Laat een reactie achter

NEW YORK (December. 19, 2015) - Billy Joe Saunders onttroonde WBO middengewicht wereldkampioen Andy Lee met een meerderheidsbesluit van 12 ronden zaterdag Showtime Boxing INTERNATIONALE van Manchester, Engeland.

 

De strijd, dat werd gescoord 115-111, 114-112 en 113-113, zal vanavond opnieuw uitgezonden worden om 9 p.m. EN/PT op SHO EXTREME.

 

In een combinatie van tactische linkshandigen, een explosieve derde ronde van Saunders (23-0, 12 KO) was het verschil. De Britse uitdager gooide Lee twee keer op de grond - eerst met een grote rechtse hoek en opnieuw met een counter net rechts 30 seconden later - en een verdwaasde Lee overleefde op de een of andere manier de 10-7 ronde. VIDEO HOOGTEPUNTEN: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe

 

De Ierse Lee (34-3-1, 24 KO) vocht zich een weg terug en was de agressievere vechter in de kampioensrondes, maar het was niet genoeg om een ​​trage start en de twee knockdowns goed te maken.

 

Met de overwinning, Saunders werd de 12th huidige Britse wereldkampioen.

 

"Ik ben wereldkampioen,'Zei Saunders. “Ik heb vandaag een goede kampioen verslagen, een goede stevige kampioen. Ik heb zijn macht tegen hem gebruikt. Toen ik aan het boksen was, werd hij een beetje onzorgvuldig en liet zijn loden hand vallen en ik ving hem met de haak.

 

"Ik ga niet mijn mond gaan lopen, maar het was een goed schot. Met iemand zo snel als ik moet je je handen omhoog houden. Ik ben niet de grootste puncher ter wereld, maar ik heb je daar laten zien dat ik kan slaan. "

 

WBA middengewicht wereldkampioen Daniel Jacobs, vers van een eerste ronde knock-out van Peter Quillin twee weken geleden op SHOWTIME, was een gastanalist op zaterdag Vanuit New York.

 

'Ik dacht dat hij een grote vechter zou worden, Ik dacht dat hij betere bezittingen had,”Jacobs zei over Lee. "Hij heeft niet genoeg voor me gedaan. Hij was te zelfgenoegzaam en na de knockdown zag je niet dat gevoel van urgentie dat een vechter moet hebben op het comeback-parcours.

 

'Alle eer te danken aan Billy Joe, maar het was geen indrukwekkende overwinning. "

 

Na het zien van het gevecht, Jacobs was er niet klaar voor om zich in te zetten voor een confrontatie met de eenwording in 2016 met de winnaar.

 

"We zullen alles doen wat zinvol is,”Zei Jacobs. "Ik denk dat het tijd is om te gaan zitten en te bedenken wat zinvol is. Het is duidelijk een goed moment om middengewichtkampioen te worden. "

NEW YORK (December. 15, 2015) - WBO middengewicht wereldkampioen Andy Lee en ongeslagen challenger Billy Joe Saunders hield afzonderlijke mediatrainingen in Manchester, Engeland, terwijl ze de voorbereidingen voor hun langverwachte confrontatie afronden Zaterdag, December. 19, live op SHO EXTREME (5 p.m. EN/PT)van Manchester Arena.

 

Ierland Lee (34-2-1, 24 KO) zal de eerste verdediging van zijn titel van 160 pond tegen de Engelse Saunders maken (22-0, 12 KO), de WBO's nr. 1 middengewicht mededinger.

Een toegiftpresentatie van het gevecht wordt later die avond uitgezonden op SHO EXTREME om 9 p.m. EN/PT.

 

Dit is wat Lee en Saunders te zeggen hadden tijdens hun mediatrainingen op dinsdag en Maandag, respectievelijk:

 

Andy Lee:

“Ik heb een klap die een gevecht kan beëindigen, lichten uit, in een willekeurige seconde.

 

"Ik vertrouw niet op de punch. Ik zal vanaf het begin proberen te domineren met goed opgeleide druk.

 

"Ik voel me momenteel erg gevaarlijk.

 

Het ongeslagen record van Saunders is een nadeel. Hij is altijd in gevechten geweest waarvan hij verwachtte dat hij zou winnen en is goed gemanaged(Openhartig) Warren.

 

"Ik heb nog nooit een gevecht op punten verloren en zal dat ook nooit doen op punten. Als ik geen kaarten heb, ga ik de laatste ronde slingeren.

 

“Dat Saunders een medereiziger is, voegt nog een extra laag toe, maar uiteindelijk gaat het erom hoe goed je bent en dat hij niet goed genoeg is om mij te verslaan. "

 

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS:

"Ik ben er klaar voor Zaterdag nacht. Dit is het beste kamp dat ik ooit heb gehad. Ik ben voorbereid op de zwaarste test van mijn carrière, maar ik weet dat ik in uitstekende conditie ben om dit gevecht te winnen en wereldkampioen te worden.

 

"Andy Lee is een taaie vechter - dat heeft hij bewezen door wereldkampioen te worden en het soort carrière te hebben dat hij heeft gehad. Maar ik ben ongeslagen en heb honger en weet dat ik op het punt sta een kinderdroom te vervullen. Ik ga die ring niet verlaten zonder de titel.

 

“Door in Spanje te trainen, kan ik mezelf opsluiten van alle afleidingen en me alleen concentreren op het gevecht. Het is moeilijk om van huis te zijn, maar het hoort allemaal bij boksen. Het is een lang kamp geweest, een zwaar kamp, maar daarna weet ik dat ik klaar ben om door de hel te gaan om er zeker van te zijn dat ik succesvol ben, kom vechtavond.

 

"De middengewichtdivisie is een van de populairste die er is en ik ben bereid om tegen een van de andere kampioenen te vechten zodra ik de titel heb gewonnen..

 

"Danny Jacobs had een geweldige overwinning tegen Peter Quillin, en dan is er Canelo (Alvarez) en (Gennady) Golovkin. Ik ken het belang van dit gevecht voor de divisie en ik wil dat mijn naam tot de allerbeste behoort. Ik doe het stap voor stap, maar ik sta open om met iedereen te vechten.

 

“Er is geen vuilnisbelt geweest met Andy, omdat we weten waar elke persoon over gaat. We delen een vergelijkbare achtergrond en we zullen geen van beiden een stap terug doen.

 

"Dit wordt een heel spannend gevecht met alle actie, want we laten het allemaal in de ring achter.". Ik weet dat ik de vaardigheden heb om hem te verslaan en ik ben van plan de wereld te laten zien waarom ik tot de beste behoor. "

 

Saunders op mede-Brit Chris Eubank Jr.:

'De waarheid is dat Eubank Jr. hoort niet thuis op wereldniveau - hij is nep. Het is zo simpel als dat. Ik was niet onder de indruk van zijn overwinning Gary O'Sullivan, die ik al heb verslagen. Hij denkt dat hij het publiek voor de gek kan houden met zo'n overwinning, maar hij kan het niet.

 

“Zijn doel is nu om hogerop te komen en te vechten tegen de beste jongens ter wereld, maar we zagen wat er gebeurde de laatste keer dat hij een tandje hoger ging en me aankeek: hij was zwaar blootgesteld. Hetzelfde zal met hem gebeuren als hij met iemand als Danny Jacobs vecht voor de WBA-titel.

 

"Je bent niet de beste middengewicht in je eigen land en je wilt tegen een wereldkampioen vechten en zeggen dat je hem gaat verslaan? Ik denk dat het een waanvoorstelling is en hij denkt dat hij groter is dan hij in werkelijkheid is.

 

"Vroeger dan laat zal hij opnieuw worden ontmaskerd als de bedrieger die hij is. Je kunt blijven praten, maar uiteindelijk moet je een back-up maken in de ring tegen vechters van het hoogste niveau. Hij heeft zijn laatste gevecht gewonnen en nu is hij weer aan het praten (vloek) opnieuw alsof hij de beste vechter in de geschiedenis is.

 

'Als hij de ballen heeft om weer te vechten, wat ik betwijfel, Ik zou hem graag nog een pak slaag geven, dit keer op een nog overtuigender manier. "
