Sanchez was in staat om punch geopend een snee in rechteroog Dawejko in ronde vijf, die hij bleef beslag gedurende de rest van het gevecht met jabs en rechts handen. Na 10 rondes, alle drie de rechters zagen de wedstrijd in het voordeel van Sanchez, met scores van 100-90 tweemaal en 98-92.

Tickets voor het evenement, die wordt bevorderd door TGB Promotions, zijn nu in de verkoop en kunnen worden gekocht op Ticketmaster.com en barclayscenter.com. Tickets zijn nu ook te koop bij de American Express Box Office in Barclays Center.

Dit is wat de jagers donderdag te zeggen hadden vanuit het Tillary Hotel in Brooklyn:

ADAM Kownacka

“Ik hou van vechten hier in Brooklyn in Barclays Center. Het is bijna de helft van mijn carrière dat ik in die ring heb gevochten, dus het is absoluut mijn tweede thuis.

“Vechten voor een kans op de titel is echt motiverend. Ik weet dat dit ook voor Robert een groot gevecht is en hij heeft hard getraind, maar mijn titelkans ligt voor de deur. Ik had kunnen wachten, maar ik besloot deze grote test aan te gaan. Ik ga laten zien waarom ik binnenkort klaar ben om voor de titel te vechten.

“Het is werkelijk verbazingwekkend om de Poolse fans op fight night te zien. Ik was een Andrew Golota-fan en Tomasz Adamek daarna. Nu probeer ik de volgende motivatie te zijn voor jonge Poolse kinderen. Ik wil ze laten zien dat ze het kunnen redden. Ik bleef de juiste beslissingen nemen en nu ben ik daar zo dicht bij een titelopname. Robert staat me in de weg en ik moet hem verslaan om te komen waar ik wil.

“Ik hoor graag de fans schreeuwen tijdens fight night en dat geeft me zeker extra energie en motivatie om te vechten in de latere rondes.

“Ik ben op zoek naar een spectaculaire knock-out. Ik wil laten zien waarom ik een van de beste zwaargewichten ter wereld ben. Ik moet zaken regelen.

“Het is echt geweldig om fans van over de hele wereld te hebben die deze avond met mij komen delen. Het is een eer om dit volgende te hebben. Het is werkelijk adembenemend. Ik zou ze zeggen om door te gaan op deze reis om wereldkampioen zwaargewicht te worden.

“Dit is een heel vriendelijke persconferentie, er is veel respect tussen deze vechters. Ik kan zien dat iedereen klaar is om zaterdag een geweldige show voor de fans neer te zetten.”

ROBERT HELENIUS

“Ik heb de kans om zaterdag een geweldig gevecht te leveren en daarvoor heb ik getraind. Ik ben er klaar voor en ik heb een geweldig trainingskamp gehad. Ik kan niet wachten om in de ring te komen.

“Deze strijd kwamen we twee weken eerder naar de VS.. Mijn lichaam is aan het verschil gewend geraakt. Meer, het sparren in Alabama in de sportschool van Deontay Wilder heeft me echt geholpen om me voor te bereiden.

“We doen alles goed en de training was geweldig. We hebben zoveel rondes sparren, Ik voel me erg scherp en klaar om tegen Kownacki de ring in te gaan.

“Ik heb veel fans in Europa en die steun is waarom ik dit zelfs kan doen en op dit niveau kan concurreren. Alles is zo perfect geweest tijdens het trainingskamp. Ik voel me er zelfverzekerder door dan in vele jaren.

“Ik trainde jarenlang met een gebroken hand en heb in het verleden blessures gehad. Maar de afgelopen twee jaar ben ik gezond geweest en heb ik dezelfde trainer gehad en voel ik me lichamelijk zo goed als ooit.”

EFE AJAGBA

“Ik ben opgewonden om op deze geweldige show vol zwaargewichten te zijn. Ik kijk uit naar zaterdagavond. Ik bedank mijn tegenstander voor het aangaan van deze uitdaging. Hij is een goede vechter en we kijken er naar uit om je een geweldig gevecht te geven.

“In het Iago Kiladze-gevecht had ik hem pijn en probeerde ik hem af te maken, maar ik ging te wild en liet mijn hoede liggen. Daarom heeft hij een schot geland en me neergeslagen. Ik voelde me oké toen ik opstond en ik kwam terug en maakte hem af.

“Het is aan Cojanu hoe het gevecht verloopt. We zullen zien of hij op zaterdag tegen mijn stoot kan of niet. We zullen in de ring zien of hij een harde kin heeft.

“Cojanu heeft veel goede ervaringen met goede vechters. Hij gaat proberen me in dozen te doen, maar als hij mijn kracht niet kan nemen, dan kan ik het gevecht winnen door knock-out. Als hij er tegen kan, Ik zal klaar zijn om een ​​beslissing te winnen.”

RAZVAN COJANU

“Efe is een vechter die ik veel respecteer. Hij is een geweldige kandidaat. Maar ik ben klaar voor hem. Ik voel me erg zelfverzekerd. Ik heb een geweldig trainingskamp van zes weken gehad. Iedereen die mij heeft gesteund, Ik ga ze zaterdag trots maken.

“Voor dit gevecht kreeg ik de kans om met Henry Tillman samen te werken en het heeft een enorm verschil gemaakt in mijn spel. Ik weet dat de coach niet voor me kan vechten, maar ik geloof in zijn plan en zijn oordeel. Hij weet hoe ik Efe Ajagba kan verslaan en zaterdagavond ga je me de wereld shockeren.

“Mensen denken dat Efe de strijd al heeft gewonnen, maar ik voel me goed. Er staat geen druk op mijn schouders. ik heb niets te verliezen. Ik geloof in karma en ik geloof dat het mijn tijd is om aanstaande zaterdag te komen.

“Ik ben erg blij dat ik voor het eerst op FOX kan vechten. Veel succes voor alle vechters om gezond door te komen en de fans de hele nacht een geweldig optreden te geven.”

FRANK SANCHEZ

“Ik ben erg opgewonden over deze geweldige kans om te vechten op deze grote PBC-kaart. Zaterdag wordt een geweldig gevecht en je kunt een geweldige prestatie van mij verwachten.

“Ik wens Joey veel succes op zaterdag, maar niet teveel geluk. Ik ga laten zien dat ik een van de beste zwaargewichten ter wereld ben.

“Hij slaat niemand knock-out. Met mijn verdediging en beweging, hij zal me geen pijn kunnen doen. Ik heb alles wat ik nodig heb om deze strijd te domineren.

“Niemand tegen wie hij ooit heeft gevochten, is zoals ik. Hij zal geschokt zijn als ik zaterdagavond een geweldige knock-out geef. Ik zie je zaterdag in de ring.”

JOEY Dawejko

“Ik wil iedereen bedanken die mij heeft geholpen deze kans te krijgen. Ik heb de kans om weer geweldig te zijn. Ik weet een beetje over Frank Sanchez. Ik weet dat ze hem snel verplaatsen, maar ik denk dat ze het verkeerde gevecht aangingen. Ze hadden nog een paar gevechten op me moeten wachten en ik ga het bewijzen.

“Ik ben in uitstekende vorm en ik heb een geweldig kamp gehad met mijn trainer Justin Fortune. Ik kan niet wachten om daar binnen te komen en iedereen een geweldig gevecht te geven.

“Ervaring zal een grote rol spelen in deze strijd. Ik had een geweldige amateurcarrière en ik heb over de hele wereld gevochten. Ik heb nu met elke kampioen sparren en het zal allemaal helpen.

“Frank is een goede vechter, maar hij is niet klaar voor mij. Hij gaat proberen me in dozen te doen, maar ik zal te veel zijn. Ik voorspel een knock-out. Hij zal een grote schok krijgen. Hij heeft niets dat ik nog niet eerder heb gezien.”

KEITH SHELDON, EVP van programmeren & Ontwikkeling voor BSE Global

“Zoals we allemaal weten, BROOKLYN BOKSEN is op zijn best als hij zwaargewichten in de ring heeft en deze kaart heeft er geen tekort aan.

“Adam, je hebt je carrière opgebouwd bij Barclays Center en we zijn verheugd je voor de tweede keer te zien headlinen. Met negen overwinningen daar, het is veilig om te zeggen dat Barclays Center uw tweede thuis is. We verheugen ons erop dat je een show opvoert voor de fans van je geboortestad.

“Barclays Center blijft onze vaste toewijding aan de sport aan de wereld laten zien. Dit is ons tweede PBC-gevecht dit jaar en het derde in de afgelopen vier maanden. Dit toont eens te meer onze toewijding aan ons boksprogramma en de sport in het algemeen.

“Onze samenwerking met PBC zorgt consequent voor geweldige gevechten op onze markt en zaterdagavond is geen uitzondering. Ik wil ook FOX bedanken. Bij Barclays Center zijn we er trots op dat we deel uitmaken van de grote evenementenbranche, en er is niets groter dan een primetime zwaargewichtgevecht op FOX.”

Nashville, Tenn. (Februari 15, 2020) – Fighting in front of a raucous hometown crowd for the first time in his professional career, undefeated IBF Super Middleweight World Champion Caleb “Sweethands” Plant (20-0, 12 KO) op een show.

Plant dominated mandatory challenger Vincent Feigenbutz (31-3, 28 KO) Duitsland, scoren een 10th-round TKO Saturday night in the FOX PBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

Plant, who grew up in neighboring Ashland City, successfully made the second defense of the world title he won in January 2019 with a thrilling 12-round unanimous decision over then-titlist Jose Uzcategui. “Sweethands” lived up to his moniker, breaking down Germany’s Feigenbutz before putting him away.

I was super fueled by the crowd tonight,” Plant said. “I could have gone all night. The whole city came out. Nashville stand up!”

Plant gave them plenty to cheer about from the opening bell, landing his jab up and downstairs. The aggressive Feigenbutz, 24, struggled to land anything in return.

Plant began landing the combinations in the third, bringing the crowd to his feet with a series of well-placed volleys.

Those shots slowly took their toll, but Feigenbutz was game. He came alive in the sixth, pinning Plant against the ropes and unloading his own combinations. Plant covered up and shook his head as if unbothered.

Plant pounded Feigenbutz in the seventh and eighth, opening up a cut on his nose and swelling his right eye. The challenger absorbed more punishment in the ninth, causing the ringside doctor to take a hard look at him in between rounds.

The end came swiftly in the 10th as Plant, sensing his foe was weakening, pounded away until referee Malik Waleed mercifully stepped in. The official time of the stoppage was 2:23 of the 10th.

Watch the stoppage in Round 10 HIER.

I felt great out there,” genoemde plant. “I was relaxed and sharp. I told you I was going to stop this before the 12th round. I want to dedicate this to my daughter, to my mother, my grandfather and the whole city of Nashville.

The champion also stated his desire to unify versus unbeaten WBC counterpart and rival, David Benavidez.

Everyone knows I want that unification fight with David Benavidez,” Plant stated. “You know who the best 168-pounder is. If you want that, you’ve got to come see me. I want that fight; I’ve been asking for it and I’m tired of waiting!”

In de co-main event, Abel Ramos scored a stunning last second TKO victory overBryant Perrella in a scheduled 10-round welterweight match. Op weg naar de 10thand final round Ramos was told by his cornermen that he needed a knockout to win. Ramos (26-3-2, 20 KO) delivered, badly hurting and dropping Perrella twice in the waning seconds of the frame, prompting referee Jack Reiss to wave the welterweight co-main event off with just one second remaining.

I know the fight’s not over until it’s over,” said Ramos. “That’s the game. I’ve been sick for two weeks. But no excuses. I wanted to come here and perform.

I watched the Chavez-Taylor fight like 10 million times and I never thought I’d be in something like that. It just goes to prove that fights are never over till it’s over. You have to fight every single second of every single round.

Watch Ramos stun Perrella at the end of Round 10 HIER.

Perrella (17-3, 14 KO) was up on all three cards at the time of the stoppage; 87-84 and two scores of 88-83.

This is boxing. It’s like Meldrick Taylor and Chavez,” Said Perrella, agreeing with Ramoscomments. “These things just happen. I’m not going to take anything away from my opponent. I was winning every round convincingly. Wat kan ik zeggen? There was second left in the 10th round. It’s like a needle in the haystack. Het is wat het is.”

Southpaw Perrella controlled much of the action, using side to side movement, angles and rapid-fire combinations to stifle Ramosoffense. A left hook in the third briefly buckled Ramos. Another in the fifth stunned him.

Perrella’s a tough fighter,” said Ramos. “He’s a strong, strong fighter. Ik heb niets dan respect voor hem. I expected a tough fight and that’s what happened.

Ramos never stopped coming forward, picking up the pace as Perrella slowed down. Met 34 seconds remaining in the 10th, Ramos landed a perfect left uppercut flush on the chin. Perrella sank to the mat, getting up on unsteady legs. Ramos pounced once action resumed, unloading until a straight right drove Perrella to the floor again. Opnieuw, he made it to his feet but couldn’t walk straight without stumbling. Reiss immediately waved it off at 2:59.

Everything was going well, and I was winning the fight, round by round,” Said Perrella. “Ik weet het niet. This is boxing. That’s the thing about the sport. Het is wat het is. There’s nothing I can do about it. I’m not going to make up any excuses or take anything away from my opponent. It’s just an experience that you go through in life and you have to overcome it. Absolutely I’d like to do it again with him. We can get a rematch in for sure.

I want all the welterweights,” Ramos exclaimed. “I’d like to have another big TV fight and go out there and prove myself.

The FOX PBC Fight Night opener featured a back-and-forth battle between lightweightsAustin Dulay en Diego Magdaleno. Magdaleno produced one of the finest performances of his career, dropping Dulay on his way to a 10-round unanimous decision victory in a minor upset.

The 33-year-old Magdaleno (32-3, 13 KO) was simply busier, particularly down the stretch in this battle of southpaws.

I knew mentally I could break him down,” said Magdaleno. “If I attacked the body, I knew I could break him down. He’s a young prospect. He’s taller than me so my plan of attack was to get in close and go to the body.

Dulay disagreed with the decision. “I boxed the hell out of him every round, making him miss, catching shots, countering. Ja, he hit me with a few good body shots. That doesn’t replace the heavy shots that I hit him with every single round for 10 rounds straight. That is madness. And it was a unanimous decision? That’s crazy. That’s unbelievable to me.

Even Diego just told me that he had nothing to do with the decision. He knows. How can they do that to me in my hometown? That’s dirty man.

Fighting in front of his fellow Nashville residents, Dulay (13-2, 10 KO) started fast, landing several clean lefts in the second. Magdaleno never stopped coming forward, working behind the jab and landing to Dulay’s body.

Some of those shots strayed low which elicited warnings from referee Jack Reiss. Echter, the work paid off as Dulay’s output dropped over the course of the bout. The sixth featured some of the best exchanges of the bout. Magdaleno got the better of those, landing a right to the ribs followed by one upstairs.

Magdaleno continued to press the attack in the seventh, scoring the fight’s only knockdown with a hard left hook to the solar plexus.

Once action resumed, Magdaleno pounded at his ribs until a left hook strayed low and dropped Magdaleno, causing Reiss to deduct a point.

Every round he was hitting me low and, in the back, and on the hips,” said Dulay.
It was more times than he got called for. I won that fight 100%.

Sensing the fight slipping away, Dulay picked up the pace over the last three rounds. It wasn’t enough to overcome Magdaleno’s work rate, which earned him a win by scores of 97-91, 96-92 en 96-92.

Experience has everything going for me. In my previous fight, I lost my head,” said Magdaleno. “This time I took my time. My camp said slow it down. Happy for the victory tonight.

On the non-televised undercard, former world bantamweight champion Rau’Shee “Atoombom” Warren (17-3, 4 KO) ended a 13-month layoff with a wide 10-round unanimous decision over Gilberto Mendoza (15-8-3, 7 KO).

The 33-year-old Warren used his fast hands to land an assortment of shots from his lefty stance. In de vierde, a clash of heads opened a cut over the left eye of Mexico’s Mendoza. Warren sought to close the show, but Mendoza was game, firing back though outgunned.

Two judges scored it 99-91 and the third judge had it 100-90.

It felt good to get back in there after being off for a year,” Warren said. “I didn’t feel like a rookie. I felt like I had to get a little rust off me. But I think I got most of the rust off when I was in the gym training. Going 10 rounds it felt good.

I hope to get back in May,” said Warren. “I only need 90 dagen. I’ve already had my long layoff since last January when I fought on Pacquiao and Adrien’s card. I’m ready to get it on. I’m ready to move on. The only thing he did that I didn’t expect him to do was stay up.

The event was promoted by Sweethands Promotions, TGB Promotions and Sauerland Promotions.

"Zaterdag, Maart 28 is going to be a night full of exciting action headlined by Mexican knockout artist Luis Nery beginning his path toward a world title at super bantamweight against an undefeated Mexican contender in Aaron Alameda,”Zei Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “Adding in the heavyweight showdown between Otto Wallin and Lucas Browne, plus a rematch of young light heavyweights Joseph George and Marcos Escudero, fight night at Park MGM in Las Vegas is sure to deliver explosive battles from start to finish.”

Nery (30-0, 24 KO) is a power puncher who has stopped his last 11 opponents and 15 van zijn laatste 16. The 25-year-old southpaw from Tijuana, Mexico scored a dominant stoppage victory over former champion McJoe Arroyo in March and returned in July to stop former champion Juan Carlos Payano. He scored a TKO victory over Shinsuke Yamanaka to win the bantamweight world title in 2018 and will now move up to 122 pounds to seek a world title in a second weight class.

“I’m excited to fight on SHOWTIME and I’m planning on another knockout victory to prove to everyone that I’m one of the kings of the super bantamweight division,” said Nery. “I know that I can knock out any fighter at 118 of 122 pond, and I’m hungrier than ever to prove that I’m one of boxing’s great Mexican champions. My goal is to continue to put on great performances for the fans and I’m ready to fight anyone who is willing to step up to the challenge.”

Representing Sonora, Mexico, Alameda (25-0, 13 KO) is unbeaten since turning pro in 2014 after a strong amateur career, and will step up in competition as he faces Nery for a shot at a world title bout. The 26-year-old is ranked No. 12 by the WBC and most recently knocked out Jordan Escobar in April 2019, after three victories in 2018. Alameda will fight in the U.S. for the second time when he enters the ring on March 28, after scoring a body shot knockout over Andre Wilson in a January 2016 bout in Los Angeles.

“I’m very excited to be making my SHOWTIME debut in the main event against a great fighter,” said Alameda. “All of the years of training and fighting have brought me to this fight on March 28. Nery is a Mexican warrior like myself and I can’t wait to lock horns with him and give the fans great action all the way until the final bell.”

De 29-jarige Wallin (20-1, 13 KO) will return to the ring in Las Vegas, where he nearly defeated former unified heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in September, toen hij een gruwelijke snee over Fury's rechteroog opende met een legale klap die het gevecht bijna stopte. While Wallin dropped the decision, hij bewees zijn moed als een potentiële toekomstige zwaargewichtkampioen. Vertegenwoordigt zijn geboorteland Sundsvall, Zweden, Wallin traint in New York met voormalig kampioen Joey Gamache. Wallin’s last fight in Las Vegas was his second in the U.S., after his debut on SHOWTIME in April ended in a no contest because of a cut suffered by his opponent in the first round.

Fighting out of New South Wales, Australië, Browne (29-2, 25 KO) most recently scored a knockout victory over John Hopoate in November, his second win of 2019. He’s won four of his last five bouts, with his only career losses coming to Dillian Whyte and David Allen in the U.K. Browne won his first 25 pro gevechten, including a stoppage of Ruslan Chagaev in 2016 to capture a WBA Heavyweight Championship. Hij zal zijn U.S. debuut.

George (10-0, 6 KO) emerged victorious in a battle of then unbeaten fighters when he faced Escudero on SHOWTIME in November, taking a split-decision victory. The 30-year-old didn’t start boxing until he was 19 and is managed by Washington Redskins All-Pro offensive lineman Trent Williams, and trained in Houston by NFL All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson and James Cooper. George will look to transition from prospect to contender by defeating Escudero again on March 28.

Escudero (10-1, 9 KO) will look to bounce back and even the score against George, and in turn bolster his own position in the light heavyweight division. The 26-year-old from Buenos Aires, Argentina has fought primarily in the U.S. since turning pro in 2017. His amateur career saw him become a national champion in Argentina in 2014 and represent his country in the Pan-Am Games in 2015. Escudero currently trains in Miami and scored three stoppage wins in 2019 before facing George for the first time.

PHILADELPHIA (Januari 19, 2020) – Jeison Rosario captured the WBA and IBF Super Welterweight World titles with a shocking fifth round stoppage of hometown favorite Julian “J-Rock” Williams Saturday night in the FOX PBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes from Temple University’s Liacouras Center in Philadelphia.

As soon as I stepped into the ring, I knew he could not hurt me,” said Rosario. “I knew that my power was affecting him right away. This is a big victory for me and for the whole Dominican Republic.

Rosario was the better man tonight,” zei Williams. “It was a great homecoming for my fans and I’m sorry I let them down. What went wrong tonight needs to and will be fixed. We’re going to an immediate rematch and we look forward to returning the favor.

In his first world title fight, the Dominican Republic’s Rosario landed power punches from the outset and opened up a cut on with a punch over Williamsright eye in the second round. Williams was landing power punches of his own, but was unable to stop Rosario from coming forward.

Watch round two highlights where Rosario opens the cut over Williamseye hier.

I’m so emotional in this moment right now,” said Rosario. “When I lost my last fight I said I will never lose again until I become champion of the world and that’s what happened tonight. I came prepared. I knew before the fight that I was going to win it.

In round five Rosario landed the punches that would ultimately lead to the end of the fight, hitting him with hard straight right hands that immediately slowed Williams.


I have to give a lot of credit to my team,” said Rosario. “I had a 16-week training camp and that prepared me for this. My life is changed forever and I can support my family in a whole new way. I realized that I was going to win, once I was offered the fight. I knew that if I made the sacrifice, that I would do what I did tonight. I knew it 16 weeks ago.

Rosario sensed his moment and came forward with big punches, while Williams tried to hold and survive. Eventually the onslaught proved to be too much, and referee Benjy Esteves halted the bout 1:37 in de ronde. Ten tijde van de onderbreking, Rosario led 39-37 on two cards, with the third card scored 38-38.

I wasn’t surprised he was so good,” zei Williams. “I told everybody he’s a real fighter. I have to accept it. The cut blurred my vision a little bit but it wasn’t the reason why I lost. He was the better fighter tonight. We’ve got a rematch clause. I’ll see him again soon. I’ll be back.

Watch Rosario finish Williams in Round 5 hier.

The co-main event saw rising star Chris “Prime Time” Colbert (14-0, 5 KO) drop former champion Jezreel Corrales (23-4, 9 KO) on his way to a unanimous decision victory that earned him the Interim WBA Super Featherweight Title.

“Hij is een geweldige vechter,” said Colbert. “People don’t realize that, because he had a bad decision against Ladarius Miller. But he’s a great fighter. He’s very awkward. He’s slick and fast. It was hard to catch him because he was running, but he came to fight. I take my hat off to him.

The action began tactically, with Colbert trying to figure out the awkward style of the veteran former champion Corrales. Colbert switched from orthodox to southpaw and was able to control the early action despite a slow pace.

I did my job in there,” Said Corrales. “My strategy was to hit and not get hit. I felt like I made him struggle for a lot of the fight. The knockdown wasn’t from being hurt, it was my balance. Our feet got tangled and I lost my balance. I came in here to win. We both did our jobs, but the judges scored his pushing more than his punching.

Colbert continued to vary up his attack as the fight went on, while Corrales was able to have some success in the middle rounds landing straight lefts to counter his attacking opponent. In round 10 Colbert began to pull away, landing a clean left hook followed by a right hook to the top of the head that put Corrales on a knee.

I had confidence coming into the fight,” said Colbert. “I knew I was going to dominate the fight and I told you all that before the fight happened. He was running and I was trying to catch him, so I told my corner, let’s have a dog fight. We got 12 rondes. I’m in shape. Zie je, I didn’t sit down one round. I’m in shape and I came to fight. I wasn’t going to leave without this title.

The 23-year-old from Brooklyn seemed to get stronger as the fight went on and finished the championship rounds impressively, staggering Corrales in the waning moments of the fight to punctuate the performance. Colbert was the victor on all three judges’ kaarten, door scores van 117-110 tweemaal en 116-111.

The strategy was to use my jab like I did and try to set up my punches,” said Colbert. “But he’s very awkward and has good distance. Slowly but surely I decided to stop boxing, close the distance and get on him. I knew he couldn’t out throw me, I’m from Brooklyn.

Watch highlights of Colbert vs. Corrales hier en hier. Watch the 10th ronde knockdown hier en 11th round action hier.

In the FOX PBC Fight Night opener, top super welterweight prospect Joey Spencer(10-0, 7 KO)remained unbeaten with a unanimous decision over Erik Lente (13-4-2, 1 KO) after six rounds of action.

Fighting from the southpaw stance, Spring looked to land big overhand lefts but was rarely able to catch up to the speedy 19-year-old Spencer. Spencer dominated the action with his speed and by landing big hooks throughout the action.

I was in there with a cagey, long southpaw,” said Spencer. “Om eerlijk te zijn, when a guy is fighting as cagey as he was, it’s really hard for a guy with my style to just pull something out of nothing. He was a real defensive guy.

Spencer was especially effective sneaking a powerful left hook around Spring’s guard. Spring tried to press the action in the later rounds and force a firefight but Spencer remained patient and picked his spots. Late in round six, a left hook from Spencer sent Spring flying into the ropes, before he was saved from the follow up onslaught by the bell.

At the end I really just pressed him, said I’m going to finish strong, and hit him with some good shots,” said Spencer. “If I had done that in the first or second round, I would have ended it early. I’m glad to get the six rounds in. Experience is everything. You’re only as good as your next fight. I’m happy to get in there and get some good experience and I did my thing and got the shutout.

I was waiting too much,” said Spring. “I thought he would come in and engage more and I was looking counter him but he stayed on the outside. I was more impressed by his speed then his power. He’s a talented fighter but I could have been more effective.

After six rounds, all three judges saw the fight for Spencer, by the score of 60-54 drie keer. PBC’s 2019 Prospect van het Jaar, Spencer will look for another big year in 2020.

I’m going to stay busy this year,” said Spencer. “I’m going to have a four-fight year. This is one of four. We’re looking to bring some excitement and have some fun.

Watch Joey Spencer seal his 10th career win with a powerful combo just before the final bell hier.

Prior to the main card, FOX PBC Fight Night Prelims on FS1 and FOX Deportes saw Mexico’s Jorge Cota (30-4, 27 KO) earn a fifth-round stoppage over Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna (28-3-1, 10 KO) 1:22 into their super welterweight bout, when LaManna’s corner advised the ringside doctor to halt the action.

The action also included sensational 17-year-old prospect Vito Mielnicki Jr. (4-0, 3 KO) dominate Preston Wilson (6-4-1, 4 KO) on his way to a unanimous decision by the score of 40-36 three times in their welterweight matchup.The Prelims opener saw undefeated Romuel Cruz (4-0-1, 2 KO) score a first round stoppage of Julio Garcia(3-4, 2 KO) 2:56 into their super bantamweight contest.

He’ll be given all he can handle by the tough and experienced Robert Helenius. Highly regarded rising contenders Efe Ajagba and Frank Sánchez will share the stage with Kownacki and look to continue to show off their credentials as future heavyweight champions.

Tickets voor het evenement, die wordt bevorderd door TGB Promotions, zijn nu in de verkoop en kunnen worden gekocht op Ticketmaster.com en barclayscenter.com. Tickets zijn nu ook te koop bij de American Express Box Office in Barclays Center.

Kownacki (20-0, 15 KO) is noted for his tenacity and has been progressing towards a world title shot with knockouts in five of his last seven fights. The 30-year-old Kownacki, who was born in Lomza, Poland and moved to Brooklyn when he was seven, was an accomplished amateur in New York City before turning pro. He most recently bested veteran contender Chris Arreola in an action-packed fight on FOX in augustus. His previous two fights had seen him score an impressive unanimous decision victory over former world champion Charles Martin in 2018 and a devastating knockout victory against Gerald Washington in January 2019 op FOX. This will be his fifth straight and tenth overall fight at Barclays Center, where he has routinely brought out the area’s passionate Polish sports fans.

It’s great to be fighting in Barclays Center for the tenth time,” zei Kownacki. “The last nine bouts ended in victory for me, and March 7 won’t be any different. I’m happy that FOX is showcasing the fight on free television like it was back in the old days, and with the action my fights bring, it’s definitely must-watch TV. I know Helenius will be looking to pull an upset and take my place in the rankings, but I won’t let that happen. I’m already in camp with my trainers Keith Trimble and Chris Carlsen getting ready. Na deze strijd, I want the winner of Wilder vs. Fury II.

A winner in three of his last four fights, Helenius (29-3, 18 KO) will fight in the U.S. for the second time on March 7, after establishing himself as one of Europe’s top heavyweights for several years. Born in Sweden and fighting out of Mariehamn, Finland, Helenius knocked out Erkan Teper in September 2018 to rise up the rankings before dropping his U.S. debut to Gerald Washington in July 2019. Prior to the Washington fight, the 36-year-old had won six of his last seven fights, with his lone blemish coming against Dillian Whyte. He most recently stopped Mateus Roberto Osorio in November 2019.

This is the fight I have been waiting for,” Said Helenius. “All of the years of training and fighting will pay off when we fight on March 7. Kownacki is about to feel the strength of Thor’s hammer. I respect him for taking this fight, but he chose the wrong opponent. This is not going to be a fight; het gaat om een ​​oorlog te zijn. I will be the last man standing.

Nigeria Ajagba (12-0, 10 KO) has increased his opposition in his recent fights and passed those tests by getting off the canvas to stop Iago Kiladze in December and defeating fellow 2016 Olympian Ali Eren Demirezen met 10-round unaniem besluit in juli, both on FOX. De 25-jarige Ajagba wijdverspreide bekendheid in augustus 2018 toen zijn tegenstander, Curtis Harper, liep uit de ring na het aanraken van handschoenen om de eerste ronde te starten. Ajagba won het gevecht zonder gooien van een punch als Harper werd gediskwalificeerd. Wonen in Stafford, Texas en training met Ronnie Shields, Ajagba will make his 2020 debut and third career appearance at Barclays Center on March 7, after four victories in 2019.

A former amateur standout from Cuba, Sánchez (14-0, 11 KO) now lives in Miami, trains in San Diego with Eddy Reynoso and is unbeaten since turning pro in 2017. Het 27-jarige scoorde knockouts in zijn eerste zes pro gevechten, en pakte negen overwinningen in 2018. In 2019 he added four more triumphs, including three stoppages and his first 10-round victory when he bested Jack Mulowayi in October to win by unanimous decision.

Dawejko (29-7-4, 11 KO) has been tested against a slew of tough contenders in his career that dates back to 2009. Uitvechten van Philadelphia, he has crossed paths with perennial contenders while establishing himself in the heavyweight division. The 29-year-old most recently defeated Rodney Hernandez in July.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Januari 15, 2020) – Undefeated IBF Super Middleweight World Champion Caleb “Sweethands” Plants previewed his homecoming world title defense at a press conference in Nashville Wednesday, as he prepares to take on mandatory challenger Vincent Feigenbutz Zaterdag, Februari 15 in the FOXPBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.

The press conference also featured welterweight contender Bryant Perrella, who takes on Abel Ramos in de co-main event, plus lightweight contender and Nashville native Austin Dulay, who battles former title challenger Diego Magdaleno in de televisie opener bij 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.

Tickets voor het evenement, which is promoted by Sweethands Promotion, TGB Promotions and Sauerland Promotions, zijn nu te koop en te koop bij ticketmaster.com.

Ashland, Tennessee’s Plant will bring world championship boxing back to Nashville and fight for the first time as a professional in his home state. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday at Bridgestone Arena:

CALEB PLANT

It’s great to be back in my hometown and my home city. I’m even more excited to be bringing home a world title and to defend it February 15 at Bridgestone Arena. It’s been a dream of mine since as long as I could remember. Since I was a little kid.

I’m working harder than ever to make sure that I have my hand raised on February 15. I’m looking to do it in spectacular fashion, before the 12th ronde. This fight is going to end in a knockout on my behalf. I want everyone who’s going to be in the building and tuned in to know that this world title is staying right here in Tennessee.

My dad and I have been going at this for 18 jaar straight, non-stop. Having this fight has been a dream that I’ve sacrificed a lot for. It’s a dream that on February 15, it won’t be spoiled.

It was a goal to become world champion, but it wasn’t the only goal. I think people tend to forget I only have 19 gevechten. I feel like I just made it to the base of the mountain. Some people when they become champion, they feel like they become the hunted, but that’s not the case with me. I’m still hungry. If you’re in my way, I suggest you get out of it. Because I won’t miss you.

I’ve heard Feigenbutz is strong and physical and he thinks he’s going to come in and knock me out. Mike Lee thought he was going to knock me out and Jose Uzcategui said he was going to knock me out, but how’d that go for them?

“Aan het einde van de dag, boxing is hit and do not get hit. I have plenty of skills to spare. Op februari 15, I’m not playing with this guy.

All of these guys think they’re going to walk me down and throw more punches than me. But I throw more and land more punches than them. If he thinks he’s going to come in here and spoil my plans, I promise you that he’s got another thing coming.

BRYANT PERRELLA

I’m grateful to be here today and blessed to have the opportunity to showcase who I am as a fighter. I’m a fighter who’s built on quality over quantity. Nothing has been given to me. I’ve faced nothing but excellent opposition to this point.

I eat, sleep and breathe boxing. I’m ready for this. I’m a fast, strong and tall fighter, with a high boxing IQ. Februari 15 I’m coming to dominate. Operation Abel will be unable.

I have Ramos outmatched at every category and I’m going to dominate. I’m starting hit my stride as a fighter. Everything is coming together mentally and I have an amazing team working with me now. We’re just grinding every day and putting it all together to work towards our ultimate goal.

AUSTIN DULAY

I’m really thankful to my whole team for making this fight happen and especially to Caleb for paving the way for a fight in Nashville. We’ve been training really hard and we’re training even harder for this fight to put on a show in my hometown.

I know my opponent is going to come ready, we know what he’s coming to do. Ik ben blij voor haar. I’m going to be ready for anything he brings.

“Ik kan niet wachten tot deze strijd, put on a great performance and come back to Nashville again in the future for more big fights.

JUSTIN GAMBER, Plant’s Co-Trainer

We are thrilled to come back to Nashville for this fight. It’s going to be Caleb’s first pro fight in Nashville, and from the moment that we heard first about this, we’ve been really excited.

He’s had an incredible training camp as always. He’s been looking really sharp. Expect an explosive, powerful and better version of ‘Sweethandsthan you’ve seen yet. Caleb is always improving and always getting better. He’s taking it to another level.

I’ve seen Caleb fight as an amateur in Nashville, but to be a part of him doing it in the pros, it’s so special for me. Just know that he’s going to put on a show. Skills pay the bills and he’s got all the skills.

RICHIE PLANT, Plant’s Father & Co-Trainer

We’re so glad to be here in this position. As soon as we heard that this was going to be a reality, we were just overjoyed.

We started here about 18 years ago in boxing. Over the years we’ve grown, and now we have this amazing boxing team, one that I feel is the best in boxing. We’re just getting started. We’re excited to put on a show for our hometown and we’ll see everyone here on February 15.
