LAS VEGAS (Febrero. 17, 2018) – El ex campeón mundial de dos divisiones Danny García regresó con una venganza, noqueando a Brandon Rios en una eliminatoria por el título de peso welter del CMB en el evento principal de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING Sábado en SHOWTIME desde el Mandalay Bay Events Center en Las Vegas.
Regresó por primera vez desde que perdió una cerrada decisión dividida ante Keith Thurman en una pelea de unificación por el campeonato mundial de peso welter en marzo de 2017, García recordó a los fanáticos su posición entre la élite del boxeo en 147 libras con un candidato temprano para 2018 Knockout del Año.
García (34-1, 20 KOs) hizo su mejor trabajo en el centro del ring, donde pudo boxear a distancia y defenderse de Ríos’ ritmo furioso. Ríos, quien regresó en 2017 de una breve jubilación, fue más efectivo contra las cuerdas donde le dio problemas a García con su presión constante y su arma favorita – un derechazo amplio.
En el noveno asalto con la pelea donde García la quería – en el centro del ring – el nativo de Filadelfia conectó un enorme contraataque directo a la barbilla que envió a Ríos de espaldas. Ríos superó la cuenta, pero claramente se tambaleaba sobre sus pies, obligando al árbitro Kenny Bayless a detener el concurso en 2:25 del noveno.
“Sentí que el anillo se oxidaba un poco al principio.,” dijo García, quien registró el nocaut número 20 de su carrera. “Es un buen luchador interno y me estaba dando buenos uppercuts.. Me sentí bien, fueron unas buenas nueve rondas. Él vino a pelear. Vine a boxear, yo lo hice. Vine a golpear, y le di a los fans lo que querían – un nocaut.
“Me di cuenta de que cuando estaba recibiendo mis golpes, él estaba parado justo frente a mí y lo dejé pasar.. Tan pronto como tuve la pelea en el medio del ring donde quería, conecté buenos tiros.. Solo estaba soltando mis manos y el golpe aterrizó.”
Después de la pelea, El reportero de SHOWTIME Sports Jim Gray le preguntó a García cómo lo afectó la derrota ante Thurman.
“La perdida fue dura. Tengo la mentalidad de un ganador,” García dijo. “Odio perder. Lo tomé como un verdadero campeón y me recuperé como un verdadero campeón.
“Me encantaría la revancha con Keith Thurman. Esta en el. Cuando esté listo, lucharemos.”
El campeón de la AMB y el CMB, Thurman, no es el único éxito de taquilla potencial en el horizonte para García.. El ex campeón de peso welter y el No del WBC. 1 El contendiente clasificado Shawn Porter se avecina para lo que sería un enfrentamiento masivo entre los ex campeones.
Después de la pelea, Ríos (34-4-1, 24 KOs) estaba frustrado con el paro y prometió regresar.
“Estoy loco. No me gusta salir así,” Rios dijo. “Soy un guerrero, Me levanté y quise seguir. Supongo que lo detuvieron pero estoy enojado. Estoy enojado porque me levanté.
“Estaba bien. Me dio pereza con el jab y se acercó con la mano derecha y me atrapó. Soy un guerrero. Todavía estoy en el juego. No pensé que me hiciera mucho daño. Creo que estaba más cerca de lo que pensaba. Me atrapó con un golpe de suerte. Estaba listo para continuar.”
El campeón mundial más joven de boxeo, David Benavidez, No dejó preguntas en una revancha con Ronald Gavril., defendiendo su Campeonato Mundial Súper Mediano del CMB con una dominante decisión unánime de 12 asaltos en Sábado de co-estelar en SHOWTIME.
Benavidez, de 21 años, y Gavril habían peleado por una cerrada decisión dividida en una de las mejores peleas de 2017 que vio a Benavidez caer a la lona en el último minuto de la 12º y ronda final. El nativo de Phoenix no tuvo problemas en la revancha inmediata, utilizando un jab rígido y una dieta constante de tiros combinados para ganar una casi blanqueada en el juego Gavril.
Benavidez (20-0, 17 KOs) agotó a Gavril con un ataque corporal inteligente, golpear la sección media para abrir golpes de poder y golpes en la cabeza. Benavidez tuvo su mejor ronda en el cuarto, conectando con un gran uppercut derecho que casi derriba a Gavril – que parecía ser salvado por las cuerdas – y luego se abalanzó con una serie de disparos combinados dañinos.
Benavidez pareció lastimarse la mano derecha en la segunda mitad de la pelea y bajó el acelerador en la décima., 11th y 12th. Pero Benavidez, quien se conectó en 41 por ciento de sus tiros de la energía, todavía conectó los tiros más duros y utilizó un jab rígido de izquierda para mantener a Gavril a raya.
“Sabía que iba a volverse agresivo. Es un oponente de un solo truco,” Benavidez dijo. “Sabía que podía golpearlo y boxearlo todo el día. Cuando vi la abertura la tomé. Aunque no lo noqueé – es un duro hijo de pistola.
“Me duelen las dos manos, pero tengo la mentalidad de guerrera, así que seguí presionando..
“Quiero ser el mejor en division. Así que, sea quien sea que me pongan delante, eso es lo que quiero hacer.”
Gavril (18-3, 14 KOs) no puso ninguna excusa para dejar de lado lo que fue un asunto lleno de acción que se anotó 119-109 y 120-108 dos veces.
“Trató de boxearme por fuera,” Gavril dijo. “Fue una buena pelea. Él fue el mejor hombre esta noche. Qué puedo decir,? Quiero volver al gimnasio y volver más fuerte.”
En la pelea de apertura de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, Yordenis Ugas anotó la mayor victoria de su carrera, noqueando a Ray Robinson en el séptimo asalto de un eliminador de peso welter de la FIB.
Ugas (21-3, 10 KOs) ahora tiene el No. 2 posición al campeón invicto Errol Spence Jr.
Ugas, un ex destacado aficionado que ahora es 6-0 desde que subió a la clase de 147 libras, marque el tono con una caída en el último minuto de la primera ronda. Robinson (24-3, 12 KOs) sobrevivió y luego se le dedujo un punto por golpear después de la campana cuando la cuarta ronda llegó a su fin. El golpe ilegal derribó a un inesperado Ugas, que se recuperó y siguió dominando las rondas posteriores.
En el minuto inicial del séptimo, Ugas, de 31 años, conectó una derecha masiva que derribó a Robinson, que superó el conteo pero claramente resultó herido. Ugas desató un ataque con una serie de combos., obligando al árbitro Robert Byrd a intervenir para detener el combate en 1:05 con Robinson indefenso contra las cuerdas.
Ugas aterrizó 51 por ciento de sus tiros de poder y estaba cómodamente por delante de los tres jueces en el momento del paro.
“Sentí que era el luchador más fuerte con diferencia y no me lastimó.,” Said Ugas. “Perdió un punto por golpearme después de que sonó la campana, y me derribó, pero incluso eso no me hizo daño. Él era muy incómodo y su estilo me hizo perder el tiempo.
“Afortunadamente, pude aterrizar golpes al cuerpo que sabía que lo estaban lastimando.. Pude marcar el ritmo y nunca tuvimos problemas..
“Quiero a Errol Spence después. Todo el mundo quiere a Errol.”

Here is what the fighters had to say from Rhythm & Riffs Lounge in Las Vegas:
DANNY GARCIA
I took a little under a year off just to enjoy my life. I’ve worked hard my whole life; I’ve been boxing for 20 año. I just wanted to be a regular person and let my mind rest, spend time with my daughter and enjoy some of my money.
“Mas que nada, I just felt like I needed the rest. It wasn’t about the hunger because I’ve always had passion for the sport. Me encanta el boxeo. I love the competition.
I’m back now and I’ve been in camp for three months. Estoy entrenando duro. I feel great and I feel confident.
It was a close fight against Thurman. I walked out of there with no injuries. Thurman was the one with the elbow injury, so he took more punishment than me. I could easily be unified champion of the world right now. Al final de la día, Soy un campeón. That’s my mindset. What doesn’t break me, makes me stronger.
It feels great to be from Philly right now. The atmosphere is crazy. When the Eagles won the Super Bowl, it felt like I won. They motivated me to go out there and do what I have to do.
It’s the Danny Garcia show so I’m going to go in there and do what I want to do. I’m going to dictate the pace. If we want to bang, podemos golpear. If we want to box, we can box.
I’ve faced fighters that came straight at me before. I’ve faced fighters that moved. I’m prepared for whatever. I’m a young veteran in the sport and what made me a true champion is adapting to anything and overcoming adversity. If I have to overcome adversity en sábado noche, then I’m going to do that because that’s what I was built for.
I need to get a victory en sábado noche. I can’t overlook anybody. I’ve seen some crazy things happen in boxing. One punch can change everything, so I’m just focused en sábado noche.”
Brandon Ríos
“Estoy listo 100 por ciento. I’m ready to give the fans an exciting show and that’s what I’ve prepared for. Es mi estilo. I always come forward and I come to fight. We ain’t dancing, we’re going to be fighting.
Robert Garcia has always been my brother. He’s a brother from another mother. It felt great to be back with Robert Garcia and I’m just ready for the fight now. Him and Donald Leary have me confident in myself, and that’s the most important thing.
I’m going to take advantage of every opportunity. This can make or break me. I’m doing everything right in training and dieting. I usually say I can’t wait until weigh-ins but this time I can’t wait until Sábado.
There’s no weight issue at all. I’m perfectly on-weight right now. I’m perfectly fine health-wise, there’s no injuries. Estoy 100 percent ready.
DAVID BENAVIDEZ
I’m going to put Gavril into retirement after this fight. Voy a noquear. This is going to be the fight of the night so you guys don’t want to miss it. He’s not going to want to box again after I get done with him.
He dropped me but I wasn’t hurt at any point of that fight. I got back up and smiled. I did not feel his power at all.
It wasn’t a tough decision to give him a rematch because it was a great fight. I just want to give the fans the fights they want to see. They said the first one was a war, let’s make this one a war too.
I’m not offended by Gavril’s talk because he’s a good fighter. This is just more hype for the fight and more motivation for me to go in there and make it a war.
“Esta vez, there’s going to be a little bit more boxing. I really want to put this guy away so in order to do that, I need to step up every part of my game.
Ronald Gavril
In the first fight, I proved to everybody that I have the skill and the power to be the best in this division. I thought that I won the fight, especially with the knockdown. Y ahora, I had more than eight weeks to prepare for this fight when I only had four weeks for the first fight. I’m better now.
I was not surprised Benavidez gave me the rematch because it was such a good fight. I think Benavidez talks to much. He said before the first fight that he was coming to stop me in four rounds or five rounds. He cannot stop me. Y ahora, he said the same thing before this fight. He can’t do that. Why do you think he got a new fitness coach?”
yordenis ugás
Moving up from 140 a 147 en 2016 has been great for me. Putting on the extra weight only makes me stronger.
I’m ready to fight Robinson. I feel 100 percent and after I fight him en sábado, I’m looking forward to fighting (Errol) Spence if I’m successful.
I’m going to jump on the fact that I have length and reach on him. I have the height advantage. I can find a way to come in and attack the body first.
“Esta es sin duda la pelea más importante de mi carrera. It’s an eliminator so I’m going for the win en sábado noche.”
RAY ROBINSON
At one point, I used to put a lot of pressure on myself because of my name. I put so much pressure on myself that I even think I lost a couple fights. I look up to Sugar Ray Robinson, but I’m here to put my own footprints in the sand.
I have learned from every fight and gotten better every fight as a pro and as a person. I have a great team now and they have only added to my craft.
I feel confident. I did all of the hard work in the gym with my team. This is the easy part. I can box with a blindfold on. That’s the one thing I know how to do – lucha. En Sábado, all of my hard work is going to pay off.

Here is what the fighters had to say from House of Blues at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on Wednesday:
DANNY GARCIA
I’m just hungry for this fight. At the end of the day I have the passion for boxing, and I love the competition. That’s what motivates me and that’s what has motivated me to get back in there and get back on top. It all starts en sábado noche.
I can’t worry about what [Brandon] está haciendo. At the end of the day I know he trained his heart out for this fight and this is an opportunity of a lifetime for him. Esta es una gran pelea para mí. I have to go in there and show that I’m one of the best fighters in the world. I just have to go in there and be Danny Garcia.
It’s great to be back here in Vegas. This is a big-fight atmosphere and it just motivates me. I feel good and I can’t wait to go in there and fight.
I’m going to do a little bit of everything, it just depends how I feel. I’m gonna bang, I’m gonna box. Voy a respaldarlo. I’m going to do everything.
I try to knock everyone out in the first round. I’ll go and get that check. Twelve rounds or less. I’d like to get it done in under eight or six. But if not I’ll go 12 rondas. I have a great team and I’ve been training hard.
I don’t blame Keith Thurman for not wanting to fight me again. I wouldn’t want to fight me two times in row. My journey and my superstardom start again en sábado noche. My job then is to show the work and that I’m still one of the superstars of this sport.
“Estoy 29 years old and in the prime of my career. It starts now. I’m ready to get back on track.
I represent Philly wherever I go. I represent all Latinos all around the world. When you’re a world champion boxer you represent everyone around the world.
He likes to bang…Vamos a hacerlo. I feel like I’m the stronger man and there’s no need to back up. If that’s what it takes to get the job done.
Brandon Ríos
“Estoy listo. I’ve been training really hard and I’m focused and dedicated to the boxing game. In the past I was immature and just being a kid and being a dork and just going with heart and ballsthat’s what I was doing it with. But now I want to get back to the top and I know what it takes to get there.
I don’t care what the critics say because at the end of the day that’s what they are, just critics. Está todo bien. I can tell you right now I’m in shape. Estoy en el peso ya.
Everyone knows the way I fight. Going all out is my style. I’ll walk through brick walls to get the victory. Everyone will see en sábado night the new and improved Bam Bam.
Think about why I looked like [mierda] después de mi última pelea. I’ve been through wars after wars and wars in my previous fights, and that takes a toll on your body. Sucede. And I realized it and I took a step back and I wasn’t doing it right with dieting and training. I was doing it with heart and balls.
Now I feel rejuvenated and fresh. So you will see the new and improved Brandon. I feel young and not war-shot, or whatever you guys want to call it. I want to go out there and prove everyone wrong. I’m going to prove every one of you wrong. There’s going to be a smile on my face when I win this fight and I will put up my middle finger to all of you.
Danny’s a strong fighter and he has power in both hands. He’s a great counter-puncher. One thing I like is he doesn’t move or run, he likes to bang it out, and that suits my style better. But if he does run, we’ll be ready for that too. I sparred with young guys, así que estoy listo.
Thanks to all of you guys for calling me out, and calling me a cherry, or whatever. Me encanta. Está todo bien. That’s the chip on my shoulder I got. I’m not a cherry, I might be a wild berry, but I’m not a cherry.
DAVID BENAVIDEZ
The preparation we had for this camp was amazing. Three months in training camp, we made a lot of changes for this fight and we’re ready to go in there and take care of business.
Winning the title changed my confidence but it changed my work too. Now I know everybody is gunning for my title and I don’t want to let it go. All the work and sacrifice it took for me to get thisI’m not going to let it go.
“Me siento muy fuerte. El peso es bueno. I feel amazing and you guys are going to see it comeSábado.
I don’t think Gavril can do any better than he did in the last fight. He’s a one trick pony and he doesn’t have many tricks left, he’s getting old. We’ve been working on a lot of different styles for this fight and I feel more than ready.
I’m very motivated. I stayed very dedicated to this training camp. I’m ready to go in there and play no games. I’m going to do what I say and I’m going to knock Gavril out.
I feel I could have done better in the first fight. Having everybody tell me Gavril should have won and him talking a lot of smack, it’s the motivation and drive that I needed to train the way I did in this camp.
The sickness during the first fight took a lot out of me but my mentality is that I’m a warrior and I’m always going to push through it no matter what. Esta vez, we didn’t have any injuries or sickness so I can’t wait to put on a show en sábado.
This is the first time I’ve really had a chip on my shoulder. All the hard work it took for me to get this belt, and people say it was just given to me? No way, I’m going to go in there and show why I’m the youngest champion in the super middleweight division.
I want to become the best in the division. I want to earn every victory and fight the best. I would love to fight the World Boxing Super Series winner. I’ll be ready for anybody. I worked so hard to get this, nobody can take it from me.
I’m thinking it will be a knockout around Round 5. It’s going to be a combination of the body and chin. It’s not really looking for the knockout, it’s just setting it up. I’m not going in just throwing haymakers, but I’ll set it up and if it comes, it will come in spectacular fashion.
Ronald Gavril
I trained a little bit different this time. I had way more time than the first fight to prepare. Last time was four weeks, this time I had a full 10 semanas. I have done a lot of rounds of sparring and a lot of work related to this fight.
I learn after every fight. From the first fight against Benavidez, I learned even more because it was a tough, tight fight.
His people tried to make him a superstar before he fought me. I don’t know what people said after the first fight, but they should wait until after the rematch. I’m the stronger fighter.
The difference in this fight is going to be who boxes smarter. I feel I’m the smarter fighter because if I need to box, I box; if I need to put pressure, I put pressure. I can adapt.
I think this is going to be the fight of the year. It’s going to be special. The fans should all come see this fight because it’s going to be amazing with two warriors.
“No estoy buscando un nocaut. Estoy en busca de ganar cada ronda. But I also don’t want to leave it in the judgeshands like last time, así que ya veremos lo que pasa Sábado.
I’m ready to win. It would be a dream come true. This is why I came here to America from Romania.
yordenis ugás
We are both good fighters. But I am ready to put on the fight of the night for the fans and I will be victorious.
I’m more than ready to get back in the ring. I know what’s at stake. This is a title eliminator and it is the biggest fight of my career. I’m ready to get even better and show the world that I’m ready to be at that top tier of boxing.
Because of the intensity of this fight, I think it has the potential to be the fight of the night. This is going to shine over all the other fights.
RAY ROBINSON
Training camp was perfect. My team did everything to prepare me for this fight. I dotted every ‘Iand crossed every ‘T’ para esta pelea. This was one of the best camps I’ve had and I’m excited to get in the ring en sábado.
Carrying Sugar Ray’s name is obviously a pleasure. Creciendo, I had a lot of pressure on myself with my name being Ray Robinson. Sometimes I think I even lost fights because I put too much pressure on myself having that name. Y ahora, I make sure I don’t put too much pressure on myself.
This is the type of fight that I roll out of bed for. You get tired of fighting regular guys. I’m an old school fighterI love fighting guys that look good on paper and nobody knows who’s going to win and it’s up to his camp and my camp. I haven’t been this excited for a fight in a long time.
I expect hell. That’s how I’ve been preparing. If it’s anything less than that, he’ll be sorry. That’s how I’ve been traininglike we’re fighting for a world title. I’m going to bring all the hardship I’ve had in my life into this fight en sábado noche.
I’m an old school fighter. I’ll fight people in their grandma’s back yard if I have to. No importa con quién estoy luchando. I’ll just do it Kimbo Slice-style. Once we conquer Sábado, we are supposed to fight Errol Spence and even if that doesn’t happen, we’re looking for a world title. Errol Spence, (Keith) Thurman, Estoy listo para el rock.
Every time we put the gloves on, we want to do something special. Especially with this fight being on SHOWTIME, we just made sure we prepared the right way. But it doesn’t matter if it’s on TV or not, we still have to put on a good fight.
Each fight that I have is a stepping stone in my career. This is no different just because it’s in Vegas. I’m not going to put too much pressure on myself and blow this up and make it bigger than what it needs to me. Vegas, the crowds, las luces – that’s all cool and dandy but at the end of the day I still have to do my job.

Here is what Garcia, Ellerbe, Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe and Danny’s father and trainer, Angel Garcia had to say Viernes from DSG Boxing Gym in Philadelphia:
DANNY GARCIA
“Al final de la día, everyone at welterweight has to prove themselves. The pieces will fall into place. Eventually we’ll all fight each other. I’m just going to keep taking it one fight at a time.
“Estoy emocionado de volver al ring. I feel rejuvenated. My body feels fresh. Training camp has gone really well and now it’s time to get in there and go to work.
I learned from the Keith Thurman fight not to leave anything in the hands of the judges. It was a close fight that could have gone either way. I have to go for the kill, Así que, es lo que es.
I was just enjoying myself for a little bit after the Thurman fight. I knew that I’d be back so it was good to get some time with my family and away from boxing. Now I’m back and ready to go.
“Este es un nuevo capítulo en mi carrera.. There are new obstacles to overcome. Just like I’ve always had in my career. I’m going to take it one fight at a time so I can get back to where I belong.
Once you’re a champion, you’re always a champion. En Febrero 17 I’m going to show everyone why I’m one of the best fighters in the world.
I’ve had my best performances in Las Vegas against Amir Khan and Lucas Matthysse. Las Vegas is where the stars fight so I’m happy to be fighting there again.
I’ve been preparing for everything. I’ve been working on boxing and brawling; it’ll just depend how I feel when the fight starts. I’m going to be ready for 12 rounds regardless.
DANNELL ELLERBE, Philadelphia Eagles linebacker
Just to know how starving Philadelphia has been for a Super Bowl championship, and to bring the first one, it’s a great feeling. These fans give you energy and make you play better.
It’s all love between the Philly athletes. We all show up for each other’s events and support each other. That’s really big to have a supportive community and I’m sure everyone will be rooting for Danny next Saturday.”
ÁNGEL GARCÍA, Padre de Danny & Entrenador
Brandon Rios is not going to be an easy opponent. Esto va a ser una gran pelea. Rios is a very tough fighter. There’s no way this is going to be an easy fight and Danny knows that.
Danny knows he can’t take anything lightly because Brandon Rios will be prepared. But he’s not going to win. Danny Garcia has never taken a beating; he gives them out.
Brandon Rios better keep his hands up. We’ll be ready in one week for Danny Garcia to be at his best. You’re going to see him once again show his great skills.
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions
“García vs. Brandon Rios is a great stylistic matchup. Rios is a very aggressive fighter who likes to put pressure on. Danny is a boxer-puncher, but I think you see that Danny really comes forward. He’s a guy who’s boxing skills are underrated.
Danny Garcia has been a unified champion and shown he’s one of the best fighters in the world. Tal Como Febrero 17, he’s going to make a big statement. There’s a lot of justified talk about other welterweights, but Danny Garcia is a name in this division who is here to stay.
The Benavidez vs. Gavril rematch is a fantastic fight. It’s a fight people have been looking for since the first time they faced off. I think it’s going to live up to what everyone has expected. I know Ronald has made some adjustments, and I’m sure Benavidez has made some too. I think it’s going to be an all-out war.
