SERGIY DEREVYANCHENKO TRAINING CAMP NOTES

“Jermall has never faced anyone like me before. I’ll apply more pressure than he’s used to”

Top Rated Contender Derevyanchenko Faces WBC Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo this Saturday, Septembrie 26 Headlining Part One of CHARLO DOUBLEHEADER, a SHOWTIME PPV® Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NEW YORK – Septembrie 21, 2020 – Top contender Sergiy Derevyanchenko believes that his combination of skills and experience will make him the toughest challenge that WBC Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo has faced in his career, as they near their showdown this Saturday, Septembrie 26 headlining part one of CHARLO DOUBLEHEADER, a SHOWTIME PPV event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

“I’ll definitely be his toughest test at middleweight,", A declarat Derevyanchenko. “Jermall has never faced anyone like me. I’ll apply more pressure than he’s used to. He’s also never faced anyone with my footwork. I’ll fight more on the inside than his previous opponents.”

Derevyanchenko sports a 13-2 pro record with 10 knockout, following an extensive amateur career that included representing his native Ukraine at the 2008 Olympics as part of his 390-20 overall ledger. Un pro de la 2014, Derevyanchenko’s experience in the amateurs has aided him as he climbed up the middleweight division in the paid ranks.

“My amateur experience has helped me a lot,", A declarat Derevyanchenko. “I came to the pros with much more experience in the ring than most other fighters and it’s been a big part of what I’ve accomplished. I believe that all of that experience will help me get the win on Saturday and take Charlo’s belt.”

The 34-year-old now lives in Brooklyn and has avoided any negative training impact of the pandemic by working with his head trainer Andre Rozier at their private gym in New Jersey. Septembrie 26 will be Derevyanchenko’s third world title fight, after losing a narrow decision to Gennadiy Golovkin last October and a split decision against Daniel Jacobs in 2018. Each of his previous title fights have presented different experiences that he can take into the Charlo fight, based off the similarities and differences between the opponents.

“Golovkin is a very different fighter than Charlo, but Jacobs is similar stylistically, so that’s something I’ll be used to,", A declarat Derevyanchenko. “This training camp has been very similar to camps for my previous fights though. We just brought in different sparring partners for this one. We’re using fighters who can show us what Charlo will bring to the ring.

“We’re making necessary adjustments based off all our experience and developing a game plan specifically for Charlo. The sparring partners have been giving me great work and I’m absolutely ready for September 26.”

In both of his title opportunities, Derevyanchenko has suffered a knockdown in the first round, only to battle back and nearly win the fight. Despite the similar script, Derevyanchenko is not focusing on those opening round mistakes as he prepares for Charlo.

“I’ll be very focused in the early rounds against Charlo, we’re not dwelling on the past,", A declarat Derevyanchenko. “We always have an eye looking forward. I’ll try to get the win faster against Charlo, so we’ll be applying more pressure early.

“Those first round knockdowns were just brief moments in those fights. I quickly moved on, put them behind me and fought my way back into it. I told myself that I may have lost the first round, but I just had to be better in the remaining rounds.”

With fight week here and the bulk of the hard training behind him, Derevyanchenko is prepared for the challenge Charlo presents, no matter how the fight goes or which strategy Charlo enters the ring with.

“I’m not solely focused on the fight going one certain way, we just have our game plan and we’ll see what happens in the ring,", A declarat Derevyanchenko. “If I can knock him out, I’ll be ready to go for it. But if it goes 12 runde, I have all of the skills to win a decision.”

LUIS NERY TRAINING CAMP QUOTES

After I win this belt on September 26, I want Brandon Figueroa next!”

Unbeaten Former Champion Nery Takes on Undefeated Aaron Alameda for Vacant WBC Super Bantamweight Title Saturday, Septembrie 26 In Co-Main Event of Part Two of a SHOWTIME PPV® Doubleheader Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

NEW YORK – Septembrie 17, 2020 – Fost campion neînvins Luis Nery shared updates from his training camp as he prepares to take on undefeated Aaron Alamedafor the vacant WBC Super Bantamweight World Championship in the co-main event of part two of a SHOWTIME PPV doubleheader Saturday, Septembrie 26 într-un eveniment prezentat de Premier Boxing Champions.

Pentru această luptă, Nery is training for the first time under the guidance of Eddy Reynoso at his gym in San Diego, alongside Canelo Alvarez and former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr., printre altele. Although Nery enters this fight on an 11-fight knockout streak, he has been able to hone other facets of his arsenal under Reynoso.

Coach Reynoso has been helping me a lot with my defense,” said Nery. “We’re working on boxing with my hands up and on my accuracy. He’s helping me do everything possible to maximize my power and speed. I feel very strong and I’ve been sparring 12 rounds for a while now. I’m extremely ready for September 26 and focused on nothing but that.

Nery and Alameda were set to square off in a bantamweight battle on SHOWTIME® martie, before the pandemic delayed that showdown. With Rey Vargas vacating his 122-pound title due to an injury, the rescheduled fight came with the addition of that title being on the line. While he knows Alameda will bring his best, Nery is confident in continuing his winning streak.

I know that Alameda is a tough, undefeated fighter who’s going to leave it all in the ring,” said Nery. “I know he wants to win, ca si mine, and I know he’s working every day so that he can perform to his maximum potential. I believe that my speed and my overall talent will make me the winner. The postponement has given me even more time to train and prepare for this matchup. Sunt 100% ready.

Nery has long established himself as a force in the bantamweight division, winning his title in 2017 by traveling to Japan and handing Shinsuke Yamanaka his first loss via fourth-round stoppage. While September 26 is his first championship fight at 122-pounds, he has his sights set on dominating the super bantamweight division and beyond.

At this moment, I want to fight at both 118 and 122-pounds,” said Nery. “There are a lot of great fights to be made in those weight classes. Sometime next year, I want to move up to 126-pounds so that I can dominate all three divisions.

The stacked September 26 PPV undercards feature a wealth of champions and top talent at both the 118 și 122 clase de greutate. If he’s victorious next Saturday night, Nery has his eyes on a fight against WBA Super Bantamweight Champion Brandon Figueroa, who defends his title against Damien Vazquez in the co-main event of part one of the doubleheader.

After I win this belt on September 26, I want Brandon Figueroa next,” said Nery. “I’m not overlooking Alameda at all, but if I had my choice, me and Figueroa would give the fans a great show my next time in the ring.

The workout streamed live on the PBC YouTube page and can be viewed in its entiretyAICI. Here is what Charlo and Shields had to say Monday:

Charlo JERMALL

I know that it’s my time to shine and my time to give everyone the best that I can give. I’m striving to be one of the best to ever lace up a pair of gloves.

The fans that love me can expect me to do what I do. The fans who don’t know about me, they’re going to see a smart, strong and athletic fighter. You’re going to see all of it in the ring on September 26.

I came from nothing, so I want to put everyone on. I want to make sure Ronnie Shields gets into the Hall of Fame. We’re looking to do something in boxing that no one has ever done.

When I look outside this gym, I say there’s no way I’m losing. I’m carrying my whole family on my back. Houston, we have another one. I’m doing it for everybody here.

I’m telling those other middleweights to buckle your seatbelts. It’s lift off. Everyone that doubted me, everyone who wants a chance, you’ll get your turn. I’m running the show. You just stay locked in.

My power is growing along with me. With some fights you need to add more power and sometimes your power just naturally increases. I’ve gotten a lot stronger and a lot smarter, so I’ve been able to use my skills to go along with my power heading into this fight.

Derevyanchenko is a come forward fighter. He’s going to bring a lot of power and speed with good technical skills. He calls himself ‘The Technicianbut we’ll see how technical he is once I start putting my jab in his face. I’m going to use all my natural skills in this fight.

After I win this fight the sky is the limit. I know people will respect me a lot more after this, but I’m focused on only this fight. This fight is another big stepping stone toward even bigger fights to come.

A lot of people don’t really know where the Charlos came from and they’re getting the chance to learn it throughout this time. It’s taken to this point for everyone to see that we belong on this big stage. I’m grateful for everyone around me who’s embraced me with love.

We don’t have too much longer to be doing this. Where are the rest of the belts at? Sunt gata. Watch next Saturday night, because I’m making this statement loud for everyone who doubted me.

RONNIE SHIELDS, Trainer Charlo lui

It means a lot to be in this position. It shows you that your fighter has made it to the top. He’s at the point where people want to see the champion of the world. It’s great to be there with him and help him to this level in the sport.

At this moment, Jermall is in great shape and he’s just about ready. We still have another week of hard training to go, then we’ll start coming down next week. He’s really sharp right now and we just have to keep him that way.

Houston loves winners and this guy is a winner. People know he’s a family man also and he works very hard for everything he’s gotten. He’s always shouting out Houston because this is where he’s from and it’s important to him.

I’ve had so many good fighters in my career, but Jermall is right up there at the top with Evander Holyfield, Vernon Forrest and Pernell Whitaker. He works hard and pays attention to what he has to do. The thing that separates them is that he knows how to watch his opponent and he knows what he’s in for.

Just like every opponent, we expect Sergiy to be at his best. We expect Sergiy to come in and try to win and be the best he can possibly be. Jermall is doing the same thing. No stone will be left unturned. We go over the game plan every day.

NEW YORK, – Septembrie 9, 2020 – Former unified super bantamweight champion Danny Roman anticipates an action packed showdown as he previewed his upcoming WBC super bantamweight title eliminator bout against former world champion Juan Carlos Payano taking place Saturday, Septembrie 26 in part two of a first-of-its-kind SHOWTIME PPV doubleheader presented by Premier Boxing Champions.


“Payano is one of the toughest and roughest fighters in the division,” said Roman. “His only losses are to elite fighters. This fight will be all action because Payano likes to mix it up, ca nu am. The fans will get to see two warriors going at it as I’m fully prepared for a grueling fight. This will be an explosive twelve-round battle, and that’s if it goes the distance, which I highly doubt.”


Roman and his longtime trainer Eddie Gonzalez have prepared for the Payano fight at the Fundamentals Gym in Los Angeles, studying their opponent and aiming to put on an impressive performance on September 26.


“It’s been a very productive training camp thus far,” said Roman. “We’ve been going strong, but smart, since early August. Coach Eddie has been studying Payano and we see some flaws in his game that we feel we can capitalize on. I’m in great shape and its full steam ahead for Payano showdown.”


The Los Angeles-native Roman will return to the ring for the first time since dropping a narrow split-decision, and his super bantamweight titles, to Murodjon Akhmadaliev in January. Roman knows that with a win in this title eliminator, he will be in a prime position to regain his status in the division.


“A victory will put me right back on the doorstep for a world title,” said Roman. “I feel that I’m still one of the best fighters at super bantamweight, but I must get past Payano. There are so many big fights at super bantamweight, because this division is one of the deepest in boxing. My mind is set on becoming a world champion again, and a victory against Payano will bring me closer to that goal.”

Septembrie 26 doubleheader is stacked with champions and top talent in the 122-pound division, presenting an abundance of opportunities for Roman should he emerge victorious. The 30-year-old relishes the opportunities in front of him to fight for the top spot at super bantamweight.

“I’m excited about this next chapter of my career with PBC and fighting on SHOWTIME®,” said Roman. “I know there will be a lot of big fights that can be made, and I want to thank my promoter Thompson Boxing for always believing in me. La sfârșitul zilei, I’m an entertainer and I want to give the fans great fights.”

The unprecedented pay-per-view twin bill features six compelling fights in all, five of which are world title fights, on the same night for one price. Part one of the SHOWTIME PPV telecast begins live at a special time of 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT with the three-fight card topped by unbeaten WBC Champion Jermall Charlo facing top contender Sergiy Derevyanchenko.

Add in two exciting undercard attractions, and this is yet another fight card on SHOWTIME that boxing fans won’t want to miss.”

I was already working hard and I will continue to work day by day to be at my very best when I compete on fight night.”

I have that mindset so I can take advantage of any opportunity that comes my way. My opponent is a good fighter, but on September 19, tune in and watch me go to war. The world will get to know who I am. I’m going to give 100 la sută. I can do anything in the ring, and I will show it on fight night.”

I’m just focused on myself, preparing so I can go into the ring, have fun, look phenomenal for everybody tuning in on SHOWTIME and come out victorious.”

The 33-year-old has battled a slew of top welterweights throughout his career, including Jamal James and Egidijus Kavaliauskas, while also earning a TKO victory over Jesus Soto-Karass. Abreu has never been stopped.

“Jaron Ennis is a great contender with good boxing IQ, speed and decent power, but this is not my first rodeo,” said Abreu. “I have fought first-class opposition and I would like to dance some good Merengue with him. I am having a great camp and I am excited and motivated by this opportunity. It is clear to me that this is a do-or-die fight for me, and therefore, come September 19, I am preparing mentally and physically to leave everything in that ring.”

NEW YORK - septembrie 1, 2020 - Campion mondial WBC Super Welterweight Jermell Charlo și campion mondial WBA și IBF de 154 de kilograme Jeison Rosario au avut o previzualizare a confruntării lor de unificare blockbuster în timpul unei conferințe de presă virtuale de marți, în timp ce se apropiau de bătălia principală a evenimentului din partea a doua a primei capete duble SHOWTIME PPV sâmbătă, Septembrie 26 într-un eveniment prezentat de Premier Boxing Champions.

Cinci dintre cei șase luptători care vor concura în partea a doua a evenimentului fără precedent au participat la apelul de presă de astăzi. Fost campion neînvins Luis Nery va lupta neînvins Aaron Alameda pentru Campionatul Mondial WBC Super Bantamweight în co-caracteristică, în timp ce fost campion unificat Daniel Roman se confruntă cu fostul campion Juan Carlos Payano într-un meci de eliminare a titlului WBC Super Bantamweight pentru a deschide a doua tranșă a pay-per-view. Nery nu a putut participa la apel din cauza unor probleme tehnice.

Iată ce au avut de spus marți participanții la conferința de presă virtuală:

JERMELL Charlo:

„Sunt mai puternic și mai rapid decât am fost vreodată. Tabăra a fost uimitoare. Nu-mi vine să cred că m-am format atât de repede, dar chiar nu am ieșit niciodată din formă. Fac investiții în mine și îmi fac temele.

„Felicitări Rosario pentru că a avut șansa de a trece la acest nivel. Dar știu ce posed în ring atunci când aleg să-mi dau drumul. Sunt mai pregătit pentru această luptă decât orice luptă pe care am avut-o vreodată.

„Moștenirea mea este pe linie. Îmi hrănesc familia așa. Nu este vorba despre ceea ce vom spune. Nu este un secret despre cum lupt. Sunt periculos și mă simt și mai periculos acum. Sunt încântat să plec 12 runde. Capacitatea și abilitățile mele depășesc pe toți acești tipi din divizie. Acum sunt mult mai înfometat. Focul a fost aprins în mine.

„O mulțime de oameni au fost surprinși că Jeison a câștigat împotriva lui Julian Williams, dar de fapt nu am fost. Williams avea de-a face cu multe. Dar eu sunt un alt tip de luptător. Dedicarea mea este diferită de toată lumea.

„Eu și fratele meu am fost întotdeauna îndoieli. Pe măsură ce mă maturizez, Nu-mi pasă de ce spune cineva din exterior. Nu-mi pasă cine face clasamentul. Treaba mea este să boxez. A fost odată hobby-ul meu. Am făcut asta pentru totdeauna și am crescut în asta. Sunt un alt animal. La fel cum Rosario trebuia să urce la niveluri, Am făcut și asta. Mă mențin acolo unde sunt, datorită muncii mele grele și a modului în care lupt. Tot ce trebuie să faci este să mă pui acolo și voi merge să-l iau pentru tine.

„Cred că ultimele mele două lupte și stilurile diferite pe care le-a avut Tony Harrison m-au ajutat. Tony este un mare luptător. Te uiți la palmaresul lui și știi că poate să dea cu pumnul, dar eu sunt diferit. Asta m-a determinat să ieșesc pe primul loc și am încheiat prima luptă. Experiența pe care am avut-o în acele lupte îmi va oferi și mai mult avantaj în această luptă.

„Sunt atât de multe lucruri pe care le fac să mă cred că sunt cel mai bun din divizie. Pot continua și continua, dar sunt un leu în cușcă, dă-mi drumul să văd ce se întâmplă.

„Sunt puternic de la primul tur până la final. Dacă merge la 12, apoi merge atât de departe. Sunt deștept și știu să pregătesc capcane. Nu voi dezvălui planul de joc, dar nu mă joc în ring. ”

JEISON ROSARIO:

„Acesta va fi un mare război. Sunt dedicat și motivat pentru această luptă și știu ce înseamnă să te confrunți cu un luptător de calitate Jermell, deci antrenamentul a mers excelent. Sunt atât de gata.

„Sunt și mai înfometat acum decât eram înainte să câștig titlurile. Sunt mai motivat. Dorința din mine și focul din mine arde pentru a câștiga această luptă împotriva unui mare luptător din Jermell Charlo. Cum spun poporul dominican, „Trebuie să continuăm să mergem înainte” și asta intenționez să fac în această luptă.

„Jermell Charlo și Julian Williams sunt cu siguranță două tipuri diferite de luptători. Cred că Williams are ceva mai multă rapiditate, dar Jermell este cu siguranță mai puternic și are mai multă putere. De aceea a trebuit să mă pregătesc puțin diferit pentru această luptă. În ceea ce privește cine simt că este cel mai bun luptător - nu vreau să iau nimic de la niciun tip. Williams a fost un mare luptător și a fost considerat Nu. 1 când m-am luptat cu el, care este acum aceeași poziție în care se află Jermell Charlo. Amândoi au meritele lor, dar nu aș spune care este cel mai bun luptător. Jermell este considerat cel mai bun luptător de la 154 chiar acum.

„Un lucru care sa schimbat de la pierderea mea față de Nathaniel Gallimore în 2017 este maturitatea mea. Pe măsură ce luptele devin mai mari și mai importante, Cu siguranță am intensificat ocazia și provocarea. Mă antrenez mai greu și se concentrează mai mult asupra acestei lupte.

„Această luptă înseamnă foarte mult pentru mine. Este cu siguranță cea mai importantă luptă din cariera mea și sunt foarte recunoscător. Îi mulțumesc antrenorului meu și pentru această oportunitate care mi-a fost dată de a lupta cu cel mai bun luptător din divizie. Acesta este un moment minunat și unii oameni cred că nu voi câștiga. Știu că va fi electric.

„Consider că acesta este timpul meu. Imperiile cad. Președinții cad. Regatele cad. Totul este foarte interesant, deoarece sub marca Charlo, ai leul și ai vânătorul și toate astea. Dar în timpul luptei, veți afla cine este cu adevărat vânătorul. Sunt un războinic și vom vedea în acea noapte cine este cu adevărat vânătorul și cine este cel care va fi vânat ".

AARON ALAMEDA:

„Ne-am antrenat foarte greu și știm că avem un adversar dur în Luis Nery, dar suntem pregătiți pentru el.

„Cu toată sinceritatea, poate că numele pe care le vedeți pe hârtie cu care m-am confruntat nu sunt în clasa lui Nery, dar când mă vezi în septembrie 26, vei ști din ce sunt făcută.

„Este adevărat că Nery a mai avut probleme cu greutatea, dar asta este problema lui. Dacă face greutate sau dacă nu, Nu mă deranjează asta. Sunt concentrat pe ceea ce trebuie să fac în septembrie 26, așa că nu m-am concentrat cu adevărat asupra faptului dacă va face greutate. Eu sunt cel care va fi gata.

„Acesta este cu siguranță un progres pentru mine, nu negăm asta. Dar strategic, am lucrat la anumite lucruri despre care știm că vor ajuta să vină noaptea de luptă. Am văzut o mulțime de videoclipuri despre Luis Nery și am aflat cum trebuie să abordăm această luptă. Am văzut câteva lucruri pe care le putem face și asta vom face în septembrie 26.

„Au fost câțiva adversari pe care i-am luptat, care au fost dificili, dar unul în special a fost [Enrique] Gâște în Guadalajara. Lupta în orașul său natal și își avea oamenii în spate, dar noi am câștigat încă acea luptă. Persoana care m-a lovit cel mai tare? Numele lui a fost [Juan] Jimenez, și încă am depășit puterea pe care a arătat-o ​​în acea noapte pentru a câștiga.

„Am luptat cu câțiva southpaws în cariera mea și de fapt mă simt mai bine împotriva southpaws decât mă lupt împotriva luptătorilor ortodocși.

„Nu există nicio îndoială că Nery este un pumn puternic, dar trebuie să vedem cum va ieși - dacă va ieși la box sau dacă va căuta imediat knockout-ul. Avem o strategie pentru orice fel de ieșire. Vom fi gata pentru asta. ”

DANIEL ROMAN:

„Totul merge excelent la antrenament. Am făcut unele ajustări din cauza pandemiei, dar voi fi la maximum în septembrie 26. Suntem doi foști campioni, deci aceasta va fi o luptă de calitate. Vom încerca să ne transformăm în noaptea noastră.

„Scopul este de a reveni la titlul mondial, dar nu trec cu vederea Payano. Este un luptător de calitate. Trebuie să trecem de el și apoi sperăm că vom putea revanșa cu Murodjon Akhmadaliev.

„Payano a pierdut în fața unor nume mari și luptători de calitate. Orice se poate întâmpla într-o luptă, așa că mă pregătesc pentru orice. Sunt pregătit să lupt cu cel mai bun Payano posibil. Nu-l iau ușor. Este ca și cum aș apăra centura împotriva unui alt campion mondial.

„Sunt mai concentrat ca niciodată acum. Nu credeam că mi-am pierdut ultima luptă, Am crezut că am luat-o. Acum mintea mea este pusă pe Payano, așa că continuăm să lucrăm la fel de mult ca atunci când eram campion. Este un pas la rând. Mai întâi este Payano, apoi vom vedea după aceea.

„Pierderea titlurilor mele m-a motivat și mai mult. Știu care este următorul meu obiectiv. Nu trec cu vederea Payano, dar urmăresc să obțin revanșa respectivă ”.

JUAN CARLOS Payano:

„Cu siguranță îl respectăm pe Danny Roman. E un mare luptător, dar aceasta este oportunitatea unei vieți. Ne-am antrenat din greu și veți vedea cel mai bun din Payano pentru această luptă.

„Am comis erori în cele două lupte pe care le-am pierdut în fața lui Inoue și Nery, unde m-au dus, dar am venit pregătiți știind că luptăm cu un alt luptător bun în Danny Roman și ne-am pregătit cu adevărat pentru a nu se întâmpla. din nou. Învățați din erorile dvs. în aceste lupte, așa că de aceea când ies, veți vedea un alt Juan Carlos Payano în septembrie 26.

„Întotdeauna am luptat din greu în toate luptele mele, dar mai ales aceasta pentru că ne uităm la sfârșitul carierei mele. Știu că am nevoie de o prezentare grozavă pentru fani, deci există cu siguranță o urgență suplimentară pentru a arăta ce e mai bun din mine.

„Un boxer nu dezvăluie niciodată ce va aduce în ring, dar cu siguranță voi fi mai precis. Ceea ce nu am avut în cele două pierderi ale mele. Nu pot fi prea disperat. Am constatat că eram disperat în acele două lupte când aș fi putut fi mai precis și să fac o treabă mai bună în acele aspecte ale luptei.

„Am boxat de când aveam șase ani și mi-am dat viața boxului. A fost o cursă grozavă. Îl respect enorm pe Danny Roman și oamenii se pot aștepta ca doi războinici să intre în ring în septembrie 26 și dă totul. Fanii știu că asta le dau întotdeauna și că noaptea aceea nu va diferi. ”

DERRICK JAMES, Trainer Charlo lui:

„Tabăra de antrenament a fost bună. Jermell a devenit din ce în ce mai bun. Am fost mulțumit de ceea ce văd și încă este devreme în cantonament. Vom continua să construim până la luptă. Știm că avem un tip foarte dur cu care ne confruntăm, dar cred că toată lumea cu care ne-am confruntat este dură. Mergem acolo pentru a fi la maxim.

„Cred că victoria ar fi frumoasă, dar nu mă gândesc ce ar face pentru mine. Cele mai bune lucruri este ceea ce ar însemna pentru Jermell să aibă trei curele. Este vorba despre moștenire. Este vorba despre o luptă de moștenire pentru Jermell și pentru mine.

„Rosario este un luptător bun. A avut o progresie treptată de când l-am privit luptându-se cu Justin DeLoach și apoi trecând la lupta cu Williams. Se îmbunătățește. Știm la ce ne uităm. Știm ca campion, s-ar putea să vină ca un luptător diferit. Deci trebuie să fim și mai buni. Este o provocare grozavă, dar așteptăm cu nerăbdare.

„Am văzut luptele lui Rosario înainte de Williams, așa că știam că va fi dur. Am fost surprins cum a scăzut deoarece Williams este un luptător puternic. Dar Rosario a arătat cu adevărat și a avut loviturile potrivite pentru al scoate de acolo. Ne așteptăm la un mare luptător pe 26 septembrie. ”

LUIS "CHIRO" PEREZ, Trainerul lui Rosario:

„Tabăra de antrenament a fost grozavă. Totul a mers exact așa cum am vrut și apoi ceva. Chiar și prin aceste vremuri, am reușit să facem toată tabăra de antrenament așa cum am dorit-o. Nu au existat obstacole.

„Jeison este mai puternic și mai inteligent ca niciodată. Așteptăm cu nerăbdare să arătăm că aparținem acestei competiții. Știm că este un ordin mare împotriva celui mai bun luptător de 154 de kilograme din lume, dar vrem poziția lui. El este omul din această categorie de greutate și vrem să dovedim lumii că aparținem la acel nivel.

„Jeison nu făcuse niciodată o adevărată tabără de antrenament în viața sa până de curând. S-a antrenat în orice fel ar putea să-și dea seama și ar lua multe lupte de ultim moment. Asta s-a schimbat pentru lupta lui Williams și asta s-a schimbat pentru această luptă. Tot ce a depășit, a terminat cu dorință. Acum face tabăra de antrenament adecvată și mănâncă în modul potrivit. Cred că trebuie să-l elimini pe Rosario pentru a-l bate. Septembrie 26, vom vedea dacă am dreptate. ”

STEPHEN Espinoza, Președintele, Programare sport și evenimente, Showtime Networks Inc.:

"De sus pana jos, acesta este cardul de cea mai înaltă calitate cu care am fost asociat vreodată. In ultimii ani, au existat o mulțime de companii noi și o mulțime de activitate în box și chiar cu toți banii, ofertele, companiile, și tot ce se presupune că aduc la masă, nimeni nu a făcut acest gen de evenimente. Nimeni altcineva nu face cărți la acest nivel — atât de mare și cu atât de multă calitate. Acesta este un eveniment pentru adevăratul fan al luptei. Campion mondial după campion mondial, o colecție a unora dintre cei mai buni luptători din lume, pe o singură carte. şase lupte, cinci dintre ele luptă pentru titlul mondial, totul pe un singur pay-per-view.

„Aceasta este o carte plină de banger. Cea care nu este o luptă pentru titlul mondial, the one between Danny Roman and Juan Carlos Payano, is a matchup between a former unified champion and a former world championso there’s no shortage of accomplishments there. You have unbeaten former champion Luis Nery, who is coming off a streak of 11 consecutive knockouts, moving up into a new weight class to take on undefeated Aaron Alameda. Our second main event of the evening, Jermell Charlo and Jeison Rosario, like the first one, is a matchup between the top two boxers currently fighting in the division. We don’t need exaggeration or hyperbole. Pur și simplu pune, this is the best fight that can be made in the super welterweight division.”

Uncasville, Conn. - August, 2, 2020 – Angelo Leo is the new WBO Jr. Featherweight World Champion. The 26-year-old Mayweather Promotions fighter dominated Tramaine Williams en route to a unanimous decision live on SHOWTIME Saturday night from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. in the network’s first live boxing event since March 13. Leo won by scores of 117-111 și 118-110 de două ori.

Leu (20-0, 9 KO), who was originally scheduled to face Stephen Fulton, Jr. in the main event of Saturday’s card presented by Premier Boxing Champions before Fulton tested positive for COVID-19, used a dominant body attack and consistent pressure to overwhelm Williams (19-1, 6 KO), who stepped up from the co-main event to face Leo. Albuquerque’s Leo had a 248-196 edge in punches landed while landing 39 la sută din pumni sale de putere. 102 sale 248 connects were body punches.

Leu, who was ranked WBO’s No. 2 junior featherweight going into the fight, is now expected to defend his title against Fulton, clasat pe locul nr. 1 de WBO, within the next 180 zi.

“It still hasn’t sunk in yet, it just feels surreal,” said Leo. “The first few rounds I was just feeling him out, getting his timing, getting the feel of him. I felt him kind of loosening up and breaking down, and that’s when I started putting the pressure on him a little more.

“That was the key factor in this fight, the body work and the pressure. I’m pretty sure Albuquerque is celebrating tonight. I think they have four world champions, because you can’t exclude Holly Holm. You have Johnny [Tapia], Danny [Romero], Holly and now me. There’s four champions in that city and I think I’ve made history there.”

Fulton, who watched the fight on television while quarantining following his positive test, was interviewed following the fight by SHOWTIME host Brian Custer.

“Congratulations to Leo, he did it,” said the Philadelphia native. “But listen, I’m ready for him. I’ve been ready. Just be ready to face me when it’s time. That’s all I’ve got to say.”

În meciul de co-featured, a WBA Super Bantamweight Title Eliminator, 122-pound contender Ra’eese Aleem (17-0, 11 KO) kept his undefeated record intact via TKO over late replacement Marcus Bates (11-2-1, 8 KO). Aleem was originally scheduled to face Williams before Fulton’s positive test. This was a rematch of a 2018 bout in which Aleem won by unanimous decision.

The 26-year-old Bates suffered an injured right wrist and battled through the pain for several rounds. Prior to the start of the 10lea rotund, Bates’ corner and referee Gary Rosato warned the fighter that the bout was in danger of being stopped. La 2:18 de rotund 10, Bates grimaced in pain and turned his back on the action, causing the fight to be stopped. Aleem dominated from the opening bell, out-landing Bates 193-86 in total punches, inclusiv 71 landed body shots.

Cu victorie, Aleem sets himself up for an opportunity for a 122-pound title fight.

“I would love to fight either the winner of the main event or any current world champion – Akhmadaliev has two of the belts,” said the Las Vegas-based Aleem who was born and raised in Muskegon, mă. “Brandon Figueroa, Regele Vargas, or the winner of this one. It doesn’t really matter who but I want the strap.

“I didn’t know his hand was hurt, I thought he was just shaking it just to try to get me to look at it and distract me. I didn’t worry about it.”

În meciul de deschidere al transmisiunii, undefeated light heavyweight Joe George (11-0, 7 KO) scored a stunning ninth-round stoppage of Marco Escudero (10-2, 9 KO) in a rematch of their November ShoBox showdown that saw George win a heavily-debated split decision.

De data asta, George left no room for a controversial decision. La 3:00 of round number nine, George caught Escudero with a vicious left uppercut that sent Escudero flat on his back in a candidate for KO of the Year. La momentul opririi, George was behind on two of the judges’ scorecards, 79-73 și 77-75, and ahead on one judge’s card, 79-73. Prior to the one-punch KO, George was getting out-landed 127-89 by Escudero, and Escudero held a 2-1 edge in punches thrown.

“I was setting him up with the jab to the body, I had him leaning over a little,” said Houston’s George, care a împlinit 31 vineri. “I was shooting the right uppercut, some landed and some didn’t. I wanted him to get comfortable and relaxed, and that’s exactly what he did. He was relaxed and I slipped over and just shot it. He gave it to me and I had to take it. It put him down.

“The result is self-explanatory. I don’t have to say nothing. I’m willing to fight whoever next. One fight at a time and I’ll be prepared for whatever’s on the way.”

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast, the first of a nine-event television lineup taking place over the next five months, will replay on Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT pe SHOWTIME EXTREME.
