“Lørdag, Juli 27 is going to be something special for the city of Baltimore,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO for Mayweather Promotions. “While we know what the main event brings, both bouts leading up to it have high stakes written all over them as well. Any time you put former world champions and young hungry prospects in the ring, you know these fighters will be looking to get the win and ultimately put themselves in position for a shot at a title. I’m anticipating non-stop action in these bouts from the first bell to the end.”

Billetter til arrangementet, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with GTD Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com or at the Royal Farms Box Office Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. ET to 5 p.m. OG.

A former titleholder at 126 og 130 pounds, Gamboa (29-2, 17 KOS) has won his last three fights, including a decision over former world champion Jason Sosa. Hans sidste time out, he dropped and defeated Miguel Beltran Jr. ved enstemmig afgørelse. An Olympic gold medalist for his native Cuba, Gamboa fights out of Miami and will look to get another world title shot with a victory on July 27.

“I’m in a great position in my career and I’m very happy to be back on this big stage again,” said Gamboa. “Rocky Martinez is a very tough and formidable opponent and we will make this a great fight for the fans. I know that I will make it past this challenge and on to more marquee opportunities. I’m looking at facing Gervonta Davis and becoming world champion again.”

Always in exciting and memorable fights, Martinez (30-3-3, 18 KOS) returned to the ring in March by knocking out William Gonzalez. Fighting out of Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, Martinez is a three-time 130-pound champion who has faced elite fighters such as Mikey Garcia and Vasiliy Lomachenko throughout a career that has also seen him defeat the likes of Orlando Salido and Diego Magdaleno.

“I’m happy for this opportunity and to have this chance to be near a world title fight again,” Said Martinez. “I’m training to win against a good fighter in Yuriorkis Gamboa. It’s a fight that will define my future and I am fully prepared to become world champion again, and this time in another weight division.”

The 25-year-old Miller (19-1, 6 KOS) har vundet 10 fights in a row, including a victory over current world champion Jamel Herring, as he looks to earn a world title fight. Originally from Memphis and now living in Las Vegas, Miller began 2019 with a first-round knockout over Daulis Prescott in February and now has his sights set on earning a world title fight.

“I’m coming to make a statement on July 27,” said Miller. “That’s the mindset I’ve been training for. I’m facing a former world champion and a win can solidify my name in the 135-pound division. I’ve been working hard and I know that Corrales won’t bring anything that I’m not prepared for. I’m excited to have this opportunity, take advantage of it and get one step closer to a world championship.”

Representing his native Panamá, Corrales(23-2, 9 KOS) won a 130-pound world title by knocking out Takashi Uchiyama in Japan in 2016, before defeating him by decision in the rematch. The 27-year-old returned to the ring in April to knock out Onalvi Sierra in two rounds.

“I’m very excited to have this opportunity and grateful that I have another chance to fight at the highest level,” said Corrales. “Miller is a very skillful boxer and I respect his abilities. I’m going to test him and see if he can fight off of his back foot. I’m going to prepare so that I have all the tools to get the victory on July 27.”

“My daughter is about to be born and with her in mind I am working very hard for this fight,” said Núñez. “I am dedicating this fight to my daughter and Panama, which has always supported me. I’m thankful for this opportunity and although some people don’t know much about me, after July 27, everyone will know me as the new champion of the world.”

BROOKLYN (Marts 3, 2019) – Former 154-pound world champion Erislandy Lara and WBA Super Welterweight Champion Brian Castaño fought to a highly competitive split-draw Saturday at Barclays Center, hjemsted for BROOKLYN BOKSNING ™, i en begivenhed præsenteret af Premier Boxing Champions. With the draw, Castaño retains the WBA belt in what was the toughest test of his career against the longtime top 154-pounder in Lara. Dommerne scorede kampen 115-113 (Castaño), 115-113 (Lara) og 114-114.

Castaño (15-0-1, 11 KOS), who was fighting in his first U.S. main event, held a large advantage in power connects (181-103) while Lara (25-3-3, 14 KOS) found success landing his left hand down the middle on his way to a 34 percent to 27 percent advantage in power accuracy.

In the close, difficult-to-score fight, five of the rounds were separated by three or fewer connects and three of those rounds favored Lara. In the final two rounds, Castaño ramped up the pressure and connected on 44 punches, while Lara landed only 24 punches across the championship rounds. Castaño won the final three rounds on all three judges’ scorecards. Without doing so, the Argentine would have lost his belt.

After the hotly contested fight, both fighters have options, including a rematch, in the talent-rich super welterweight division.

“I know I won the fight. I feel I was robbed,” a disappointed Castaño told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray. “If he wants the rematch, I’ll give him the rematch. I waited for him this time so I can wait for him again if he wants the rematch. I would give him the rematch if he wants. I can also go ahead and fight any other champion that wants to fight me. I’m ready for whoever they put in front of me. Hurd or anyone else.”

Lara, på den anden side, felt he did enough to claim the belt: “I thought I won the fight by landing the more accurate and effective punches. Castaño came to fight but he never hurt me and I hurt him. All I can do is give the fans great fights and that’s what I’ll continue to do. I have a lot of fight left in me and I’m not going anywhere.

“If we have to fight him again, I’ll fight him. Hurd or Castaño. Anybody, I’ll have the rematch with both.”

I co-feature, Cuban heavyweight slugger Luis Ortiz (31-1, 26 KOS) earned a unanimous decision victory over a game Christian Hammer (24-6, 14 KOS). Although the judges scored the fight 100-90 og 99-91 to gange, both men fought through bloody noses at different points in the fight and both were stunned in a back-and-forth second round.

Ortiz, who earned his third consecutive victory since dropping a thrilling slugfest with WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder one year ago, is now looking for another world title shot.

“The fight wasn’t what I was expecting,” said Ortiz. “It was a hard fight and my corner really had to work with me. After I got the rhythm, I heated up a little bit. Every heavyweight out there should know that I still have it at 40-years-old. Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, Jeg er klar. "

Although Hammer fought with more energy and with more resolve than in previous fights with other top-tier heavyweights Tyson Fury and Alexander Povetkin, Ortiz used his superior technique and skills to eventually cruise to the lopsided decision. Ortiz averaged 45 jabs thrown per round and landed 61 jabs to just 20 af Hammer, while also connecting on 49 procent af hans magt slag. Ortiz made a conscious effort to attack Hammer’s body with 33.6% of his total connects (45 af 140) coming via body shots.

“I fought a fight that I hadn’t for years, which is box and work,” said Ortiz. “So I’m not disappointed I didn’t knock him out because I showed some of my boxing skills tonight.”

“Ortiz is a very good and experienced fighter,” said the 31-year-old Hammer, who was making his American debut. “He’s technical and smart but he’s not as intimidating as people say he is. I respect Ortiz but I don’t think he’s the best fighter I’ve ever faced.

“I’m very confident going forward. I know that I can go the distance with anyone and I’m willing to fight anyone. People thought I’d get knocked out but I proved them wrong.”

I fjersynsudsendelse åbneren, Eduardo Ramirez (22-1-3, 9 KOS) caught Bryan De Gracia (24-2-1, 20 KOS) with a vicious right uppercut in the ninth, stunning his opponent and suddenly breaking open a close fight. Ramirez pounced on the dazed De Gracia and unleashed a wave of punches which forced referee Benjy Esteves to call the fight at 2:10 af runde ni.

The southpaw Ramirez, af Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, was trailing on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage according to two out of three judges (the third had it even). Ramirez, known to grow stronger in the later rounds, connected on 36 punches in round number nine, by far his highest connect total on the night. Although De Gracia was the more aggressive fighter, the Panamanian failed to consistently land punches. De Gracia was accurate on just 27 procent af hans magt slag, while Ramirez landed 38 procent af sin.

“I definitely knew it was close but my corner kept telling me to keep going and going, and that’s when I caught him,” said Ramirez, who was fighting with a heavy heart following the passing of his grandfather. “I didn’t just come here to fight. I came here to do something and I did it.”

Med sejren, Ramirez is now in line to face WBA (Regular) Featherweight World Champion Can Xu and will be looking to challenge for a world title fight in the deep featherweight division.

In SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN action that streamed live on theSHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page, Edwin Rodriguez (31-2, 20 KOS) won a 10-round cruiserweight fight via unanimous decision overMitch Williams (16-7-3, 11 KOS) af snesevis af 96-94 to gange og 98-92. Coverage on social media also saw Antonio Russell (13-0, 11 KOS), younger brother of WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Russell Jr., stop Jose Maria Cardenas (16-4, 13 KOS) 22 seconds into the sixth round of their bantamweight fight.

Castaño is trained by his former pro boxer father Carlos in the bustling city of Isidro Casanova in Buenos Aires, Argentina. After a long and successful amateur career leading into his pro debut in 2012, Castaño has a chance on March 2 to make a lasting impact with an impressive performance against Lara.

“I’ve been boxing since I was a small child and now this is my opportunity to prove myself on the biggest stage,” said Castaño. “This fight is the moment I’ve been waiting for and the kind of tough challenge that I love. I want to make a statement to the American audience against one of the best fighters in the world.”

In recent years, Argentine fighters such as Marcos Maidana, Jesus Cuellar and Lucas Matthysse have become champions and stars in the U.S. with their relentless styles they bring into the ring fight after fight. Castaño specifically has spoken to another Argentine great in Sergio Martinez for inspiration as he continues his journey.

“I have a great admiration for the Argentine champions that have made statements and become big names in the U.S. in recent years and I know how difficult that is to achieve,” said Castaño. “I’ve sat and had great conversations with Sergio Martinez not long ago and I was able to learn a lot from a fighter like that.”

The 29-year-old first won an interim title with a knockout of Emmanuel de Jesus in 2016, before winning tough 12-round battles against Michel Soro, and most recently a final round stoppage win over Cedric Vitu to capture the belt he will defend on March 2. These were the first two times Castaño fought into the 12th round as a pro.

“I learn new things each time I fight,” said Castaño. “When you are a world champion, there are no easy foes. The opponents come stronger and stronger each time. I’ve learned that I have to double my effort every time I get into the ring.”

In Lara, Castaño faces a challenging former amateur world champion who was the longest-reigning titleholder in the 154-pound division before he lost to fellow champion Jarrett Hurd last April on SHOWTIME in 2018’s Fight of the Year. Castaño is aware of what Lara brings to the fight and is preparing to negate it.

“On paper we know that Lara is a slick fighter that can be difficult to catch, while I’m more like a demolisher that goes after you all fight,” said Castaño. “Lara moves around the ring very wisely and has great timing on the counterpunch. I ringen, you never know how it can play out though. I probably haven’t faced someone like him before, so I have to cut off the ring in an even smarter manner.”

On March 2, Castaño will be looking to take his career to the next level with his performance, knowing that chances at the highest level are hard to come by.

“I’ve taken my career quietly to this point, but I know that I have to make myself known by putting up a great performance in this tough fight,” said Castaño. “I’m prepared to do just that. This is the opportunity that I’ve dreamed of ever since I was a little kid and I have to be ready to rise to the occasion.”

PÆN, CALIF. (Marts 29, 2017) – Ubesejret cubansk udsigt Leduan Barthelemy (13-0, 7 KOS) scorede et stop i niende runde på Reynaldo Blanco (14-4, 8 KOS) Tirsdag nat i den vigtigste begivenhed af Premier Boxing Champions TOE-til-tå tirsdage på FS1 og Boksning Champions på FOX Deportes fra Robinson Rancheria Resort and Casino i Nice, California.
“Jeg kom her velvidende, at jeg var nødt til at afgive en erklæring og levere en knockout på FS1 og FOX Deportes,” Said Barthelemy. “Jeg styrede kampen fra åbningsklokken og mistede aldrig fokus.”
Bror til to-divisions verdensmester Rances, Barthelemy viste sine bokseevner ved at bruge sin længde og hurtighed til at diktere handlingen mod Blanco. Efter en langsom start, Blanco kom til live i tredje runde og begyndte at øge sit offensive output, inklusive en looping højre hånd, der landede rent på Barthelemys hoved sent i runden.
Blanco pressede igen handlingen i runde fire og landede en skarp venstre hook, men Barthelemy tog skuddet og svarede med sit eget højre hook for at afslutte runden. Barthelemy fortsatte med at have succes med sit jab, og smide kombinationer ud af det, og åbnede til sidst et snit over Blancos højre øje i slutningen af ​​runde otte.
Barthelemy var den friskere fighter, da han kom ind i niende runde for første gang i sin karriere, og det viste sig, da han droppede Blanco med en række hårde højrehænder tidligt i niende runde. Blanco var i stand til at komme på benene, men Barthelemy fortsatte angrebet, hvilket fik Blancos hjørne til at stoppe kampen på det officielle tidspunkt for 1:30 af runde ni.
“Jeg føler, at jeg er den bedste up-and-coming fighter i divisionen,” Said Barthelemy. “Jeg er klar til at træde op til det næste niveau af konkurrence.”
Nattens co-main event så Delaware's Kyrone Davis (12-1, 5 KOS) opnå en sejr med split-decision over tidligere ubesejrede Marcos Hernandez (9-1, 2 KOS) i et 10-runders opgør af superweltervægtsudsigter.
Davis kom aggressivt ud fra start, da han så ud til at lukke afstand og angribe Hernandez indefra. Det gav næsten bagslag tidligt, da Hernandez vaklede Davis med en venstre hook og fulgte op med en højre uppercut, der satte Davis i nogle tidlige problemer.
Tidevandet svingede tilbage mod Davis efter de første to runder med et øget angreb på Hernandez' krop, hvilket bremsede Fresno-indfødtes forbrydelse. I runde syv, et omstrejfende kropsskud fra Davis blev anset for lavt af dommer Dan Stell, som trak et point, da Hernandez faldt til lærredet.
Trods fradraget, Davis var i stand til at forblive effektiv med sin aggressive gameplan, da begge kæmpere gik forbi otte runder for første gang i deres professionelle karriere. Hernandez så ud til at skade Davis midtvejs i sidste runde med en venstre hook, men Davis var i stand til at kvæle Hernandez, da han gik til knockout.
Efter slutningen af ​​ti runder tildelte dommerne Davis en delt afgørelse med snesevis af 95-94 for Hernandez og 96-93 to gange for Davis.
I tv-åbneren, ubesejret udsigt Malcolm McAllister (9-0, 8 KOS) overvandt et knockdown i sidste runde for at opnå en enstemmig afgørelse over Mexicos Alejandro Torres(9-2-2, 4 KOS) i deres seks runders superweltervægts-opgør.
McAllister havde kontrol over kampen gennem de første fem runder ved at bruge sit stik til at kontrollere distancen og slog Torres konsekvent til slaget. Han begyndte at lande flere stærke højre hænder i tredje runde og fortsatte med at bokse effektivt, mens han byggede en føring på scorekortene.
Kampen ændrede sig drastisk tidligt i sjette og sidste runde, da Torres fik overstået en udveksling af kraftslag og forbundet med en massiv venstre hook, der bedøvede McAllister og sendte ham til lærredet. Long Beach-indfødte var i stand til at komme på benene, men var stadig rystet, da Torres forfulgte ham rundt i ringen.
Med en kombination af clinches, stød og bevægelse, McAllister var i stand til at afslutte runden på sine fødder på trods af Torres’ fremskridt. Nedslaget var ikke nok til at afspore McAllister, da han vandt afgørelsen med en score på 58-55 på alle tre dommere’ kort.
