CARSON, CALIF. (Юли 4, 2021) - Непобедени изгряваща звезда Крис „Праймтайм“ Колбърт cruised to a unanimous decision victory over Tugststogt Nyambayar Saturday night to retain his Interim WBA Super Featherweight title in the main event of action live on SHOWTIME from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Халиф. in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

The 24-year-old Colbert (16-0, 6 Нокаута) rode a dominant jab to victory as he landed 112 across the 12 rounds according to CompuBox, buoying a 218 към 78 предимство при удари кацна. The Brooklyn-native used the jab to set up a variety of effective power punches that he was able to land from orthodox and southpaw stances.

“Имахме огромен тренировъчен лагер,- каза Колбърт. “We sparred a lot with a bigger guy in Michel Rivera, so I had a lot of practice using my speed and jab in camp. The jab is always a key in this sport.”

Mongolia’s Nyambayar (12-2, 9 Нокаута), който сега се бие от Лос Анджелис, stepped in to fight Colbert on less than two weeks’ notice, replacing former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa after he suffered a training camp injury. Nyambayar had successful moments in his 130-pound debut, with Colbert even noting the Olympic silver medalist’s power, but he was unable to keep up a sustained attack or keep the busier Colbert from controlling the tempo.

He carried power for a 126-pounder,- каза Колбърт. “Boxing is about hitting and not getting hit. I had to use my Muhammad Ali tactics and float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. This was a great fight and ‘Tugdid a great job coming in off only a week and a half of training for me. I take off my hat to him and wish him nothing but the best in his career.
Colbert’s post-fight interview: https://twitter.com/ShowtimeBoxing/status/1411543856345145345

Colbert rode his versatile offensive arsenal to a big advantage on the scorecards and statistically, dominating Nyambayar in punches landed as he connected on 106 power punches to 78 total punches landed by Nyambayar. След 12 кръга, the judges’ scores confirmed Colbert’s dominance, as he won the decision with scores of 117-111 и 118-110 два пъти.

“I’m number one in the WBA,- каза Колбърт. “So you know what time it is. I’m going to follow the plan and see what happens next.”

В съвместно основното събитие, rising lightweight contender Мишел Ривера (21-0, 14 Нокаута) scored a highlight-reel knockout over Джон Фернандес (21-2, 18 Нокаута) in the eighth round of their WBA Lightweight Title Eliminator.

“I’m so excited and beyond happy to get this win,"Каза Ривера. “Fernández was a strong, experienced opponent that forced me to change the game plan I had going in.”

An unbeaten Dominican fighter who now trains in Miami, Rivera seemed to take control of the action in round four, as he began to find a home for the straight right hand that would eventually end the fight. The tables turned momentarily in round six however, as Fernandez connected with a clean right hand to the head that put Rivera on the canvas for the first time in his career.

“I knew since the first round that I would have to be careful with him,"Каза Ривера. “He had heavy hands and was taller than me, but I was faster and more skilled overall.”

The 23-year-old was able to weather the storm brought by the Spaniard Fernandez and made it through the round despite the knockdown. After regaining his momentum in the seventh round, Rivera broke through with a decisive right hand that crumpled Fernandez early in the eighth, prompting referee Jack Reiss to wave off the bout 44 seconds in the frame. Rivera held an 87 към 76 предимство при удари кацна, and connected on 37% от неговите силови удари, в сравнение с 27% from Fernandez.

“I want the fight with Rolando Romero next,"Каза Ривера. “Once I do face him, I would like to go up against Gervonta Davis or Teofimo López.”

Before the night of fights, SHOWTIME host Brian Custer interviewed Bellator MMA No. 1-ranked Featherweight contender A.J. Маккий, who will face current champion Patricio Pitbull in the Bellator MMA Featherweight World Grand Prix final on July 31 на форума в Лос Анджелис.
McKee interview: https://twitter.com/SHOsports/status/1411527740646465537

“I am going to go out there and dig into my bag of tricks and I am going to shock the world,” McKee said. “He’s done a lot for the sport and he has been my target for a long time, ever since I started to come up. I’ve been calling his name for 17 fights and it is time now to get it on.”

Asked if this fight was for the No. 1 spot on the Bellator pound-for-pound list, McKee said: “Definitely. Hands down. This fight is for the pound-for-pound best, чувствам, в света. При 145 паунда, there’s not too many guys that can stop myself or Pitbull.”

McKee added: “This is not going the distance. Стилово, it’s a bad match up for him. Nothing personal but my style is not a good match up for him…. I have to stay long, keep positioning and my feet. Distance is a big part of this fight. And catching him on the angle.”

CARSON, CALIF. (Юли 1, 2021) – Unbeaten Interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion Крис „Праймтайм“ Колбърт and hard-hitting contender Tugstsogt “King Tug” Nyambayar faced off Thursday at the final press conference before they meet in the main event of action live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Юли 3 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Халиф.

Also featured at Thursday’s press conference were unbeaten rising star Мишел Ривера и лек съперник Jon Fernández, who square off in the co-main event of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

За да отворите телевизията, SHOWTIME will air a special replay of last Saturday night’s exciting pay-per-view main event fight between Gervonta Davis and Mario Barrios.

Събитието се популяризира от TGB Promotions. Билетите се продават сега и могат да бъдат закупени на AXS.com.

Ето какво борците трябваше да каже четвъртък:

CHRIS COLBERT

“I was going to knock [Yuriorkis] Gamboa out cold, and now ‘King Tug’ has to take the knockout.

“My hard work is finally paying off. All I have to do is stay focused, посветен, and disciplined, and then I’ll be the face of boxing in a couple of years.

“This venue is really known for wars. Come Saturday night I’m definitely going to bring the heat.

„Готов съм за тази битка. Nyambayar knows he’s in for trouble on Saturday. Nobody out there can take a fight with me on a week-and-half notice and not be in for trouble.

“Me and Michel Rivera got a lot of rounds in together during training down in Miami. We did a great job all camp and I’m just ready and excited to get in the ring.

“I’ve been knocking out everyone they put in front me. They still don’t give me the respect I deserve yet. I just have to keep doing my thing on Saturday night and embarrass him.

“I can’t tell you if he’s my toughest opponent yet. I know that he’s not beating me, and that’s a promise. There’s no way a 126-pounder will come up in weight and beat me.

“He’s a fighter with only one loss, he can come back from that. But it’s not going to matter on Saturday night. He’s supposed to be confident in himself. He can’t say he’s going to get washed Saturday, but that’s what is going to happen.

“I appreciate ‘Tug’ for taking the fight, but Saturday night I’m going to get in there, dominate and beat him up. This is a Nissan vs. a Lamborghini, and I’m the Lambo.

“I agree that ‘King Tug’ might be better opposition than Yuriorkis Gamboa would have been. But it doesn’t matter if it was Gamboa, ‘King Tug’, or Arnold Schwarzenegger in there with me, it was always going to be the same outcome on Saturday night.

“My hair is orange this week as a dedication to the cause of fighting Multiple sclerosis. One of my friends, Dave, back in New Jersey has it and he told me his story of how he was paralyzed as a kid and also had MS. Then I saw him on the Stairmaster in the gym the next day for like an hour. I saw that and realized there’s no excuses I can make for not being in the gym. I do the different hair colors to make people feel special. I want them to know that I’m fighting for them.

“Nobody in the 130-pound division can beat me. I’m going to continue to prove that every time I step into the ring. I’m going to deliver a dominating performance. Don’t be surprised when I stop him.

“I don’t think this is going past 10 кръга. I’m going to keep proving that I have power on Saturday night. I’m not discrediting his skills, but I’m just different.”

TUGSTSOGT NYAMBAYAR

“I’m really excited for this fight. It’s my first fight at 130 pounds and I want to show what I can do. I’m ready for this opportunity.

“Just know this, we are here to win. My team is here to win. I’m ready for Chris Colbert. Това е.

“I don’t care that I’m fighting on short notice at a higher weight. Вярвам в себе си. I can fight at 122, I can fight at 126 and I can fight at 130.

“Two weeks’ notice is enough for me. If I didn’t take the fight, Colbert wouldn’t have a fight. So he should be thankful. Let’s see what happens. I’m going to whoop his ass.

“I believe in my speed and I believe in my power. Вярвам в себе си. I just want to test myself. This is a good opportunity versus a good fighter.”

“I don’t think that he can stop me. Watch me on Saturday night. Аз съм готов.

“I’m not worried about anything he says. I’m just focused on the sight. I really believe in myself and that I’m going to hurt him on Saturday night.

“Colbert has similar speed compared to Gary Russell Jr., so it’s not going to be anything I haven’t seen before. The adjustments from the Russell fight have been made in the gym over time.

“I’m very happy to be fighting at Dignity Health Sports Park because Los Angeles is my second home. It’s very exciting to be fighting here and with a crowd there watching. The Mongolian fans are going to show up on Saturday.”

MICHEL RIVERA

“I had a good camp and I have a good team, led by Herman Caicedo who is my coach along with Jukka Toivola. I know that this is a good opportunity and I worked so hard for this fight. I’m so excited for July 3 and I know that this is my chance to show I’m great and to shine.

“Jon Fernandez is a good boxer and he’s a good puncher. I don’t know much about him, but I know that he’s Spanish and he’s a tall guy. He hits hard but I’m in the type of condition to be great in this fight.

“I’m sure that on July 3 when people are watching the fight, they will see who the best boxer is. I’m ready for everything. If he wants to fight instead of box, I will fight too. I have the skills. I believe that I am faster than him. I don’t have problems with his height. You can see in my past fights where I was fighting at 144, and I looked good with big boxers too. I don’t have a problem with it. Everybody will have to tune in July 3 на SHOWTIME, and they will see Michel Rivera beating Jon Fernandez.

“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. I’m Dominican, and in the Dominican Republic you don’t get much opportunity. I came here and I am making my name. Everybody will know that I’m ready to fight the top names at 135 – the best boxers. I have the skills and the talent. I’m young and I’m pretty, твърде.

“It’s good that he sounds confident. I am confident too. That makes for a great war. He has a lot of knockouts, but they weren’t against any boxers like me. I’m focused. Както казах, той е добър боксьор, but I’m better. I’m trusting my talent and I’m trusting my condition.

“My perspective remains the same after this press conference. Fernandez is a proud fighter and I expect nothing less than what he said. I’m also a proud fighter and I’m convinced that I’m better than him. I consider myself better prepared and ready to be considered one of the top boxers in the 135-pound division.

“Training with Chris Colbert was a great experience, and the sparring sessions were awesome. He made me better, just like I made him better. Той е страхотен човек. My fellow Dominican fighter Jeison Rosario wished me luck and told me he knows I’m going to be a world champion someday, and that he will be supporting me and watching the fight from the Dominican Republic.

“Of course I believe that I am the next world champion from the Dominican Republic. I can beat all of the top boxers, the top five, in the 135-pound division. I want to make my name at 135 because I know this is a strong division now. I want everybody to know me at this weight.

“I promise a good fight. Everybody will see the next superstar in the ring on July 3.”

JON FERNANDEZ

“I’m very excited to be here for this fight. Training camp in Madrid and Mexico have been great. We’ve had an outstanding preparation. I’m facing a great opponent in Michel Rivera, but this is the door I need to open to be in the big leagues of boxing. I don’t plan on missing out on this chance.

“I’m glad he’s confident in his abilities, but I think this is a 50-50 мач. It’s going to be a great fight and we’re definitely on the same level. There’s no difference in skill levels. I’m going to use my height and show off my boxing ability on Saturday night.

“Rivera is a very good boxer, and has many skills, but I believe that I have equal skills and more power. If I get the opening, I can knock Rivera out.

“I promise that we’re going to put on a great show and deliver fireworks in the ring. My hand will be raised when the fight is over.

“There’s nothing like fighting in Los Angeles. I have already been here before, but nothing can compare to being in the big show.

“Everyone in Spain is supporting me. My city of Bilbao has sent me all its love and they believe in me 100%. Even some famous soccer players have reached out to me. Players from Athletic Bilbao and (former Spain national team striker) Fernando Torres.

“I would like to win in order to open the door for other Spaniard boxers who come behind me and relish this opportunity – like my brother Eker, who is about to make his professional debut. I want to make him proud and put Spain on the map as far as boxing is concerned.

“If I win, it’s not just because of my power. It’s going to be a close fight, but I’m going to give everything I have to come out with the victory.”

“This lineup on July 3 features highly-touted rising stars in tough matchups against opponents looking to make statements of their own,- каза Том Браун, Председател на TGB Промоции. “Chris Colbert has been impressive fight after fight, and he will have a big test against the always-tough Tugstsogt Nyambayar. Also facing perhaps the toughest test of his career, Michel Rivera will enter the ring in an exciting matchup against contender Jon Fernández. This is a card that is lined up to deliver drama all night long.”

Представлява родния си Бруклин, N.Y., Colbert (15-0, 6 Нокаута) бързо се издигна нагоре в класацията с тегло 130 паунда, поемайки състезание на високо ниво в първия си 15 про битки. Already established as a fighter with dazzling boxing skills, Colbert showcased his ability to fight toe-to-toe in his last outing, as he stopped hard-hitting Jaime Arboleda in round 11 of their December 2020 сблъсък. The 24-year-old turned pro in 2015 and beat three unbeaten fighters in his first eight contests. Prior to the Arboleda fight, Colbert scored a highlight-reel first round knockout against Miguel Beltran Jr. през септември 2019 and a dominant 12-round decision victory over former champion Jezreel Corrales in January 2020.

“I’m very excited to be back in the ring on July 4 weekend,- каза Колбърт. “I get to set off my fireworks on SHOWTIME the night before. We’re taking this one to Dignity Health Sports Park in California, but I know I’ll have my New York family behind me. This is just another day, another dollar. I have a job to do, and that’s to get the win by any means necessary, but I’m looking to dominate. I expect Nyambayar to bring his A-game though because he knows he’ll be in there with a monster. I may not be the biggest puncher in the world, but I know how to finish a guy and get him out of there, and on July 3 that’s exactly what I’ll be looking to do.”

The 28-year-old Nyambayar (12-1, 9 Нокаута) won a silver medal representing his native Mongolia in the 2012 Olympics and now lives in Southern California, where he’s trained by John Pullman. Nyambayar ascended the featherweight rankings after his extensive amateur career with victories over then unbeaten Harmonito Dela Torre and former interim champion Oscar Escandon. He earned his first world title shot when he defeated former champion Claudio Marrero in January 2019, before dropping his championship bout against long-reigning WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Russell Jr. през февруари 2020. Ahead of his super featherweight debut on July 3, the WBC’s second-ranked featherweight Nyambayar most recently handed Cobia Breedy his first loss by scoring two knockdowns and eventually earning the decision in September 2020.

“When I got the call about this fight, I jumped at the opportunity,” said Nyambayar. “I can’t wait to compete. I was born for fights like this. I’m going to leave it all in the ring and give the fans a great show on July 3.”

Роден в Санто Доминго, Dominican Republic and now fighting out of Miami, Rivera (20-0, 13 Нокаута) burst onto the scene in 2019 making his U.S. debut with a victory over Juan Rene Tellez. The 23-year-old continued his ascent in 2020, adding a stoppage win against Fidel Maldonado Jr. and a unanimous decision triumph against lightweight contender LaDarius Miller. Съвсем наскоро, Rivera stepped back into the ring to knock out Anthony Mercado in February of this year.

“I can’t wait to be showcasing my skills once again on July 3,” said Rivera. “Fernández will be bringing his A-game and that’s exactly what I want. My coach Herman Caicedo and I have been zeroing in on the best approach to this fight and I’m excited to execute it. Jon is a rough and tough fighter and probably the best fighter I’ve faced to this point and I’m looking forward to the challenge. I know that I will be fighting for a world title soon, so I’m just staying focused and disciplined until that time comes.”

The 25-year-old Fernández (21-1, 18 Нокаута) enters this bout on a five-fight winning streak following his only career blemish, a decision loss to O’Shaquie Foster in 2018 наShoBox: Новото поколение. A native of Bilbao, Испания, Fernández will fight in the U.S. for the fourth time on July 3. Fernández has been mentored by boxing great Sergio Martinez and will look to put himself back in position for a world title against Rivera. В последния си двубой, Fernández knocked out Aristides Perez in the first-round of their February 2020 сблъсък.

“The fans are going to enjoy this fight with Rivera very much,” said Fernández. “Both of us are going to give our all in the ring for the opportunity to become a champion. This is the kind of fight that boxing is all about. Our division is full of great fighters, so you need to fight the best to be the best. My training is going very well and I believe that at this moment, I am in the prime of my career.”

Родом от Бруклин, Хичинс (12-0, 5 Нокаута) Оказа про в 2017 след като представлява Хаити на 2016 Олимпиада. 23-годишният футболист показа впечатляващи умения, като натрупа непобеден рекорд в професионалистите, което е продукт на обширна аматьорска кариера. В последния си излет, Hitchins scored a career-best victory, as he earned a decision over former world champion Argenis Mendez. Hitchins has increased his competition in winning 10-round decisions in his last three fights.

“After my last fight in December, I got right back in the ring and have been training and tweaking things to help me really get to that star level,- каза Хичинс. “I’ve always had the tools, but people are just now recognizing my talents. Each opponent has brought something different out of me, and I plan to keep rising to the occasion and putting on a show for the fans.”

Цена (17-1, 10 Нокаута) returned to the ring in April to knock out Saul Corral in the fifth round. His previous outing had come in December 2019 when he suffered a knee injury that forced him to take a TKO loss against Malik Hawkins in a fight Price led on the scorecards. Първоначално от St. Louis and now fighting out of Houston, Price was a standout track and field runner at Grambling State University before turning pro and winning his first 16 битки.

“Every dream has a process and a price tag,” said Price. “Those who embrace the process and pay the price, live the dream. Those who don’t, just dream. I can’t wait to get back in the ring on July 3 and put on a great performance.”

РИЧАРДСЪН ХИТЧИНС ОБУЧИТЕЛНИ ЛАГЕРНИ ЦИТАТИ & СНИМКИ

"Наистина вярвам, че съм най-добрият и бъдещ боец ​​в играта"



Непобеждаващ надигащ се супер лек проспективен хитч битки Бившият шампион Аргенис Мендес в състезание на главно събитие на живо по SHOWTIME® тази събота, Декември 12

NEW YORK – Декември 7, 2020 – Непобеден нараства перспектива Ричардсън Hitchins сподели подробности за тренировъчния си лагер, включително указания и мотивация, получени от Флойд Мейуедър и Джервонта Дейвис, преди неговия супер лек бой срещу бившия световен шампион Аргенис Мендес живеят на SHOWTIME тази събота, Декември 12 при 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT в събитие, представено от Premier Boxing Champions от Mohegan Sun Arena в Uncasville, Кон.

„Флойд ми помогна изключително много, докато бях в Лас Вегас,- каза Хичинс. „Вече имам основите като боец, но той ми показа малки неща тук-там и тренировки, които съм взел у дома със себе си, докато тренирам за тази битка. Не се притеснявам от способността си като боец, защото наистина вярвам, че съм най-добрият и идващ боец ​​в играта, така че това са видове битки, от които се нуждая, за да покажа на света кой е Ричардсън Хичинс.

„Гервонта играе важна роля и в миналите бойни лагери, и той е типът човек, от който се нуждаете. Той те тласка да вървиш по-усилено. Продължаваме да се превъзхождаме взаимно, и това е видът състезание, който е необходим, за да бъдем наистина най-добрите. "

Въпреки обучението през цялата пандемия, Хичинс е успял да остане на работа и на пътя си през целия си лагер, който е започнал в Лас Вегас, преди да завърши в родния си Бруклин под ръководството на главния треньор Лени Уилсън.

„Работата в мен е, Концентриран съм без значение какво,- каза Хичинс. „Не слизам след битките си. Поддържам форма през цялата година; Не е нужно да се подготвям по отношение на кондиционирането или връщането на тялото си във форма, защото това е моята работа. Приемам работата си много сериозно. Дисциплината, която Флойд е имал през цялата си кариера, е същата като мен. Наблюдавал съм своите идоли и съм им отнемал нещата, за да мога да се поставя в позиция да печеля.

„Не мисля, че пандемията или празниците задължително са променили обучението ми. Все още имам достъп до фитнеса си. Няма нищо, което да ми попречи да стана велик. Пандемията не ме забавя, това е просто поредната пречка, за да проверя моята отдаденост на спорта. "

23-годишният Хичинс представляваше Хаити в 2016 Олимпийски игри и ще се върне на ринга след дебюта си в 2020 с 10-рундова победа над Никълъс ДеЛомба през февруари. Това беше втората победа за 10-рунд на Хичинс, след като предишната му битка го видя най-добре след Кевин Джонсън 10 кръгове през ноември 2019.

„Често се сещам за битката си с Кевин Джонсън, той е твърд боец ​​и той е този, за когото мога с увереност да кажа, че извади най-доброто от мен,- каза Хичинс. „Това са битките, които ме карат да се обръщам назад и да наблюдавам внимателно нещата, върху които трябва да работя. Тази борба също ми показа, че никой не трябва да се пренебрегва, така че влизайки в тази битка срещу Мендес, Не го пренебрегвам. "

Мендес представя най-успешния противник на младата кариера на Хичинс. 34-годишният бивш шампион последно се бори срещу Хуан Хералдес и Антъни Питърсън, за да вземе равенство 2019, и вкара победи над Еди Рамирес и Иван Редкач преди това. За Хичинс, силното резюме на опонента му е нещо, което той харесва като мерителна палка за своя напредък.

„Той е ветеран, той е бил там с много корави момчета и е бивш световен шампион, така че той очевидно има набор от умения, с които мисля, че трябва да се изправя в този момент от кариерата си,- каза Хичинс. „Имам нужда от тези големи битки. Сега е по-възрастен, но чувствам, че той в разцвета на силите си все още не може да докосне моя набор от умения. Моята работа е да докажа това.

„Знам, че това няма да е лесна битка, но ще бъда готов за всичко, което той донесе. Мотивацията ми е да бъда повече от обикновена. Ще изпълня целите си, когато всичко това е казано и направено, и честно, Само чакам тази битка да дойде, за да мога да покажа това. Независимо дали е Мендес, или който и да било, убеждението, което имам и как се чувствам към себе си, е по-силно от всичко, което стои пред мен в този пръстен. "

Нордин Убаали срещу. Първоначално Nonito Donaire трябваше да се проведе през декември 12 но беше отложено, след като Убаали даде положителна проба за COVID-19.

„Това основно събитие през декември 12 ще изправи един срещу друг двама от най-вълнуващите изгряващи таланти на 130-килограмовата дивизия, докато изключително квалифицираният Крис Колбърт се изправи срещу могъщия Хайме Арболеда в сблъсък, който не може да се пропусне,- каза Том Браун, Председател на TGB Промоции. „Ко-главното събитие ще види двама претенденти в средна категория в Мат Коробов и Роналд Елис, които искат да покажат, че са сред елита на дивизията, докато началото на SHOWTIME включва вълнуващата перспектива Ричардсън Хичинс срещу винаги твърдия Аргенис Мендес в голяма битка напред. Това са три равнопоставени двубоя, които трябва да доведат до неспирна драма в бойната нощ.”

Представлява родния си Бруклин, N.Y., Colbert (14-0, 5 Нокаута) бързо се издигна нагоре в класацията с тегло 130 паунда, поемайки състезание на високо ниво в първия си 14 про битки. 24-годишният играч победи непобедените тогава бойци Остин Дюлей, Тит Уилямс и Антонио Дюбоз, всички в първите си осем битки като професионалист. В 2019, Колбърт добави още четири победи към своя резултат, включително експлозивен нокаут в първия рунд на ветерана Мигел Белтран младши. Съвсем наскоро, Колбърт спечели временната си титла, като изпусна бившия шампион в полулегка категория Йезраел Коралес по пътя си към единодушно решение през януари 2020 сблъсък.

„Много съм развълнуван да направя своя дебют на голяма сцена в главното събитие,- каза Колбърт. „Беше дълъг лагер, но обучението върви чудесно. Търся доминиращо представяне, и търся нокаута, ако го има. Ако мога да го получа, това би било прекрасно. Знам, че Джейме ще дойде да се бие. Той иска колана толкова силно, колкото аз искам да запазя колана. Всичко ще се сведе до издръжливост, пръстен IQ и кой има по-голяма воля за победа. Чувствам се, че съм човекът за работата. Няма начин, по дяволите, да се откажа от колана си в първата си защита."

26-годишната Арболеда (16-1, 13 Нокаута) натрупа впечатляваща серия от шест победи в мача срещу Colbert, с пет от тези победи, идващи вътре в дистанцията. Роден в Курунду, Панама, и сега се бият с Маями, Fla. Оттогава Арболеда се бори професионално 2014 и отбеляза нокаути над двама тогава непобедени противници 2019, Виктор Бетанкур и Хосе Саант. В последния си двубой, Арболеда, който е на четвърто място в дивизията до 130 паунда от WBA, победи бившия претендент за световната титла Джейсън Велес с единодушно решение да спечели първата си битка в 12 рунда този февруари по SHOWTIME.

“Мечтата на всеки боксьор е да се бори за титла и да победи, без да оставя никакво съмнение,“, каза Арболеда. „Това е планът ми за декември 12. Имам най-добрата подготовка в цялата си кариера. Чувствам се страхотно, силен и бърз, както никога досега. Сигурен съм, че ще бъде много вълнуваща битка от първия рунд.”

Korobov (28-3-1, 14 Нокаута) се завръща в действие, след като загуби своя декември 2019 сблъсък срещу Крис Юбанк младши. когато получи контузия на рамото, която принуди битката да приключи във втория рунд. Коробов, който засече 300 печели като украсен аматьор, влезе в тази битка след равенство с мнозинство срещу Immanuwel Aleem, след като връчи уведомление до средната категория, че ще бъде заплаха, когато загуби трудно решение от непобедения шампион в средна категория Джърмал Чарло през декември. Роден в Оротукан, Русия, и сега живее в Св. Petersburg, Fla, Коробов беше късна смяна и даде на Чарло по-тежък бой, отколкото много експерти очакваха. Коробов имаше серия от четири победи преди битката с Чарло, след първото си професионално поражение срещу Анди Лий в 2014 битка за титлата в средна категория.

“Развълнуван съм да се върна в PBC събитие на SHOWTIME на 12 декември,” каза Коробов. “Имам труден противник, но очаквам да спечеля и да докажа, че съм се върнал и още по-добре подготвен. Трябва да спечеля срещу Елис, за да върна Джърмал Чарло на ринга. Разбира се, Вярвам, че победих Чарло, но това е миналото. Елис е в моето бъдеще, и идвам да покажа, че все още съм една от най-добрите средни в света.”

31-годишният Елис (17-1-2, 11 Нокаута) ще се опита да надгради последния си излет, което го изпревари с решение с мнозинство през декември над своя колега Имануел Алеем 2019. За Елис, тази битка го върна в колоната за победи след първото му поражение в кариерата, решение с мнозинство срещу DeAndre Ware през март 2019. Лин, Масачузецът е по-големият брат на Рашиди Елис в полусредна категория, и имаше впечатляваща аматьорска кариера, включително а 2010 Националният шампионат по Златни ръкавици завърши с победа над Теръл Гауша.

“Време е да се покажа на 12 декември,” каза Елис. “Коробов имаше своя шанс срещу топ средните, и сега е моето време да се възползвам от тази възможност и да използвам победа над него, за да достигна това ниво. Работим усилено в спаринга в Сан Диего с Канело Алварес, така че всичко да е перфектно и да съм най-добре в бойната нощ.”

Родом от Бруклин, Хичинс (11-0, 5 Нокаута) Оказа про в 2017 след като представлява Хаити на 2016 Олимпиада. 23-годишният футболист показа впечатляващи умения, като натрупа непобеден рекорд в професионалистите, което е продукт на обширна аматьорска кариера. Хичинс отбеляза четири победи 2019, преди да дебютира в 2020 с победа с решение над Никълъс ДеЛомба. В първите си два двубоя от 10 рунда като професионалист, левшата вкара решаващи единодушни решения.

„Не пренебрегвам нито един противник, но вярвам, че имам по-добри и по-остри умения от Мендес,- каза Хичинс. „Имам всички нематериални активи, за да стана световен шампион. Това често се бърка като самонадеяно, но наистина само аз вярвам в себе си повече от всеки друг. Ще приема тази битка сериозно, както правя всяка друга битка и ще продължа да правя това, което правя, за да се приближа една крачка по-близо до тази титла. Да бъдеш в лагера с Флойд Мейуедър и Джервонта Дейвис, научих много. Имам чувството, че трябва да превъзхождам конкуренцията. Те наистина ме подтикнаха да бъда по-добър боец.”

Бивш шампион в полулегка категория, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 Нокаута) има репутация, че предоставя сериозни предизвикателства на най-добрите в спорта и се е доказал като издръжлив претендент на 140 паунда. В 2019, Мендес се бори до последователни равенства срещу супер леки претенденти, първо срещу Антъни Питърсън през март и след това срещу непобедения Хуан Хералдес през май. Роден в Сан Хуан де ла Магуана, Доминиканската република, Мендес сега се бие от Йонкърс, N.Y.. и притежава победи над Еди Рамирес, Иван Редкач и бившият титулист Мигел Васкес. Той също така се е сблъсквал с бившите шампиони Ранс Бартелми и Робърт Истър-младши.

„Изправен съм пред млада перспектива, която е гладна за успех, но днес съм по-гладен, отколкото някога съм бил в кариерата си и имам опит да се съобразя с това,“, каза Мендес. „Аз също съм изключително мотивиран за този двубой, което не е добра новина за Хичинс. Когато дойде времето за битка през декември 12, ще станете свидетел на интелигентен, но по-агресивен Аргенис Мендес.

Ловец, 27, се връща към Sam’s Town Live after an impressive 2019, in which he won a decisive 10-round unanimous decision against Cameron Krael and scored an upset victory over former amateur standout Sanjarbek Rakhmanov. He comes from a family of fighters, he’s the younger brother of heavyweight contender Michael Hunter and his father was a well-respected boxer who sparred with Mike Tyson. Hunter has spent the entirety of his training camp at Prince Ranch Boxing Gym in Las Vegas, where he trains alongside undefeated welterweight Blair Cobbs.



Here is what Hunter had to say about his recent training camp and upcoming battle with Hawkins:



On his opponent…



“Време е да блесна. Hawkins is a good fighter, he is talented, but he stands in my way. I am not just fighting for myself, but for my family. Ако се вгледате в моя рекорд, I’ve fought some very tough guys. I know I’m battle ready to take my career to the next level. Hawkins is going down. I am going to make people respect the Hunter name once again



“I have nothing bad to say about Malik Hawkins. He is a hard-working fighter. I just feel that I am better. Това е моето време, and no one can take this opportunity away from me. The problem for Hawkins is, I have trained harder than ever to get the win. I am more focused than ever.”



On training camp…



“I wanted this camp to be very specific. I get good sparring at Bones Adams’ gym and a lot of top pros have come through there like Shakur Stevenson, Мани Пакиао, и много други. I have watched how they trained, and I have used that same work ethic and principles for this camp with the supervision of my coaches.”



On his status as a contender…



“I’m now ranked 13 от WBA, which makes me a contender. I must get past Hawkins, so believe me when I tell you I’m going to leave everything in the ring. I’m looking at this fight like it’s a world title. Losing is not an option.”



On making his SHOWTIME debut…



“I am excited to headline on ShoBox: Новото поколение. It’s a platform that launches fighters’ careers, and SHOWTIME has a fantastic and professional production crew. One goal from the beginning was to showcase my talent on a big stage like this, now I’m here. This is a very big opportunity for me, I’m not going to let it slip away.”



Hunter is managed by Greg Hannley of Prince Ranch Boxing, advised by former two-time heavyweight world champion Hasim Rahman promoted by Greg Cohen, Founder and CEO of Greg Cohen Promotions.

Хичинс, на Brooklyn, N.Y., returns for his second consecutive test on the prospect developmental series. В последния си излет, he earned a unanimous decision over Kevin Johnson at Sam’s Town. Хичинс, a 22-year-old 2016 Хаити Olympian, has gained notoriety for having the skillset of a veteran with a gritty and slick style inside the ring. Hitchins has credited some of his boxing development to advice and pointers he has gotten from world champion Daniel Jacobs and Shakur Stevenson, and stablemate Gervonta Davis.



“Nice” DeLomba, борба от Кранстън, R.I., is coming off a five-fight win streak with three out of five wins by knockout. He’s best known for his slickness and elusiveness in the ring and looks to make a powerful statement in foreign territory as he makes his Las Vegas and ShoBox дебюти.



Here is what Hitchins and DeLomba had to say ahead of the February 28 съвпада:



How has training camp been going in preparation for February 28?



Хичинс: “Camp is good, but I’m always in camp. There’s never a time when I’m not preparing and perfecting my craft, I’m really a student of the game. I know that I’m approaching that next level in my career, so I have to stay sharp and in the gym to perform at that next level.



“I’m headed to Colorado to finish training camp. It’s where the Olympic training center is, and it’s a place I’ve gone a couple of times to finish my camp. The air is better up there and that really helps me to get in better shape going into the fight.”



DeLomba: “Training camp is going wonderful. I’m getting everything I need to prepare for the fight: хранене, meal plans, and strength and conditioning. I’ve added a new strength and conditioning coach and I’ve tweaked things to adjust to Hitchins’ style. I’m ready to go and I can’t wait for fight night.”



What is your game plan going into this fight?



Хичинс: "My game plan is the same for every fight. Stay composed and be the first to strike. I’m at a point in my career where the competition is getting tougher so the main thing for me is keeping my defense tight. My defense will keep me in good shape during the fights as the competition gets steep. But overall, I always have the mindset that I’m the better, smarter, and faster fighter.



“I surround myself with champions. That’s the only way to become one and this fight gets me one step closer.”



DeLomba: “I plan to go in and fight smart; stick to the game plan my team has for me and execute it well. My goal is to overcome whatever he tries to throw at me.”



What do you know about your opponent?



Хичинс: “I don’t know much. He’s who my team picked for me so I’m just going to get the job done and take him out. На Fight Night, I’ll have a clearer idea of how to get him out. I can adjust to anything.”



DeLomba: “I know my opponent has quick hands and likes to throw speedy shots. I’m completely focused on myself and my training. I believe in my abilities as a fighter. I’m not intimidated.”



What will a victory on February 28тата do for your career going forward?



Хичинс: “Another win carries me to that next level. Гладен съм, I come from nothing, so I stay with a chip on my shoulder. I’m appreciative of my team, Мейуедър Промоции, and to SHOWTIME for providing me with this opportunity to build my name in the sport and show the world what I can do.”



DeLomba: “A win over Hitchins will catapult me to that next level. It’s a televised bout and this will bring me the exposure I need to branch out and expose myself to a new audience. It will improve my career tremendously.”

“As we kickstart another year, I’m confident that we will continue to exceed expectations and bring top tier events to the sports and entertainment world,” says Leonard Ellerbe, Главен изпълнителен директор на Мейуедър Промоции. “Our first stop of the year is at our home venue for club shows and a stacked Friday night ShoBox карта. These prospects are looking to put on impressive performances to start their year off. They’re putting in the work to take their fight game to the next level, и на февруари 28 we will see them challenge themselves against tough opponents at Sam’s Town Live and live on SHOWTIME.”



Hawkins, (18-0, 11 Нокаута) known as “Ice Man” in the ring, fights out of Baltimore, Md., and is coming off the heels of two back-to-back knockout victories. His most recent came via fifth-round stoppage against Darwin Price on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN on the Davis vs. Gamboa undercard on December 28. The 24-year-old Hawkins is trained by the highly touted Upton Gym coaches’ trio of Calvin Ford, Kenny Price, and Russ Blakey. Hawkins turned professional in 2014 with a knockout victory, which foreshadowed what was to come from the young fighter. Като аматьор, Hawkins amassed an impressive 160-15 record while competing in the 2012 и 2013 National Championships and won a bronze medal in the 2012 Jr. Олимпиада. Best known for his gritty and powerful fighting style, Hawkins joined the Mayweather Promotions team in late 2019 with a knockout decision win over Al Rivera at Cannery Casino & хотел.



“It feels great to headline my first ShoBox събитие,” says Hawkins. “This is something I wanted to do since I was a kid. A win in this fight and the exposure fighting on a platform like SHOWTIME only brings more recognition to my talent and skills and bigger and better opportunities. I have more than myself to fight for. I have the kids who look up to me at Upton Gym. I fight for them they’re my real motivation.



“I can’t say much about my opponent. I know he’s also undefeated. He is a durable opponent and he’s coming to fight, but if you watched my last fight you know I come in to take my opponents 0.”



Twenty-seven-year-old Keith Hunter (11-0, 7Нокаута) comes from a fighting background. He’s the younger brother of heavyweight contender Michael Hunter, and his father was a well-respected boxer who sparred with Mike Tyson for many years before his tragic death. Hunter didn’t have a long amateur career, electing to turn professional after just 28 битки



“I feel confident coming into this fight,"Каза Hunter. “My last two bouts, I defeated Mayweather fighters and I’m confident with the insight I have. We’re both 6-feet tall, but he’s missing components as a fighter. He has trouble fighting on the outside. He is more comfortable on the inside. I feel I’m the better more skilled fighter going into the fight.



“Anytime I get to fight on a big stage like SHOWTIME, I invest a piece of my heart and soul, so hopefully my fans and anyone who watches my fight will see a genuine kid fighting for legacy and not money. This opportunity will help me connect with more people and I’m forever thankful for it.”



Хичинс (9-0, 5 Нокаута), от Бруклин, is a former two-time Golden Gloves champion who represented his parents’ home country of Haiti in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games. One of boxing’s top young prospects, Hitchins has sparred and trained with several world champions including Terence Crawford and stablemate Gervonta Davis. Just 21-years-old, Hitchins boasts incredible hand and foot speed and the boxing IQ of a veteran contender. Having fought eight out of his 10 professional fights in his hometown, Hitchins will travel to Las Vegas for a second time looking for a statement win in his follow-up ShoBoxвид.



I’m hungrier than ever,- каза Хичинс. “I see my brother Tank winning and prospering and I feel that same energy around me when I’m training for hours in the gym and perfecting my craft. I’m made to be great and I have the right people around me who keep my focus, keep me training at the highest level, and push me outside my comfort zone to be victorious. That’s what will show on fight night when I’m inside the ring.”



“Nice” Nick DeLomba (16-2, 5Нокаута), борба от Кранстън, RI, is coming off a five-fight win streak with three out of five wins by knockout. He’s best known for his slickness and elusiveness in the ring and looks to make a powerful statement in foreign territory as he makes his Las Vegas and ShoBox debuts next month.



“What a great opportunity this is to fight on SHOWTIME,” said DeLomba. “I’ve been fighting my way up to this point and now it’s about showing the world who I am and growing my brand. That’s what I plan on doing come fight night. I take every fight and lesson with me to the gym and train harder than the day before and push myself to really be the best fighter. I know I’m coming in as the underdog, but it’s only going to make me want the win more and to be that guy who gives Hitchins his first defeat.”.



Las Vegas’ own Kevin Newman (11-1, 6Нокаута) started boxing when he was nine-years old and built up an amateur record of 25-5 before turning pro in 2014. Impressed by Newman’s skills and technique in the ring as an amateur, Floyd Mayweather signed the rising super middleweight to his stable of fighters in the summer of 2014. Newman made his professional debut on the Mayweather vs. Maidana II undercard, where he fought to a draw against Azamat Umarzoda. Newman returns to ShoBox having avenged the only loss of his career against Mark Anthony Hernandez. Newman defeated Hernandez on November 1 at Sam’s Town Live, redeeming himself from their first matchup in 2017 on the Mayweather vs. McGregor undercard. Newman remains humble and hungry as he climbs the ranks in the super middleweight division.



“It’s always good to get that weight off your shoulders,” said Newman of his recent victory over Hernandez. “I work hard day in and day out to be the best me and I follow God’s plan. I understand that there’s more for me on my journey now and I’m past that and I’m looking to the future on February 28.



“I’ve seen Kalvin fight. There isn’t anything particular that stands out about him. I’ve been in the ring with top tier guys as an amateur and a professional and I have fought tougher opponents. I’m always the smarter opponent.



“Fighting on SHOWTIME does a lot for me. It’s not about the win, it’s about как аз печеля. I’m going to put on another dominant performance, something that will set me apart from the rest, and I’m going to take advantage of every opportunity that continues to come my way.



Originally from Fayetteville, Ark., but fighting out of Fort Worth, Tx., Henderson (12-0-1, 8 Нокаута) doesn’t have a typical background for a professional fighter. He’s a University of Arkansas alumni who pursued a career in music when he was awarded a scholarship as a percussionist. He never lost sight of boxing since he was first introduced at 15 years old and quickly after graduating in 2012, he shifted his focus back to boxing. Henderson has quickly established himself as one of the faster rising super middleweights in the division and welcomes the challenge to continue his pursuit in becoming a world class boxer.



“Fighting in other people’s backyard is not a big deal,” says Henderson. “There’s no pressure on me to do anything. I take care of business and I go home. I will say that it brings a different motivating factor. It forces me to train harder and it affects my game plan because we can’t leave the rounds too close.



“I’m excited to get in the ring and execute my game plan in front of wide audience. I want to show the world what me and my team already know. I make it hot in the ring. That’s why they call me, ‘Hot Sauce’.”

LAS VEGAS – November 1, 2019 - Undefeated super featherweight prospect Xavier Martinez thrilled a sold-out crowd and boxing royalty at Sam’s Town Live with one of the quickest knockouts in ShoBox: Новото поколение history in the main event Friday night in Las Vegas.



It took just 21 seconds for Sacramento’s Martinez (15-0, 11 Нокаута) to steal the show, connecting on a solid jab with his left hand before a glancing right hand finished the job and sent Filipino Jessie Cris Rosales (22-4-1, 10 Нокаута) down and out in a knockout of the year candidate. Rosales’ head hit hard on the canvas and his body was left sprawled on the floor. (Martinez KO video: HTTPS://twitter.com/

)



Martinez has now scored knockouts in seven consecutive fights, including a third-round stoppage of John Vicente Moralde in his ShoBox debut in April.



I wanted to steal the show,” said Martinez. "[Роландо Ромеро] did his thing and I knew I had to capitalize on that. I did it in half the time (45 секунди). Everyone did great tonight. Hitchins and Kevin [Newman] both did their thing and I had to follow.



“I’m going to get back in the gym and continue grinding. I want to be the best. I have the best team in boxing right now. As long as they keep lining them up, I’m going to keep knocking them down.”



22-year-old Brooklyn, N.Y.. native and 2016 Olympian Richardson Hitchins (10-0, 5 Нокаута) made his television and ShoBox debut in the co-featured bout, winning a unanimous decision over Kevin Johnson (7-2, 4 Нокаута). Съдиите отбелязаха за схватката 96-94 и 97-93 два пъти.



Хичинс, who represented his parents’ home country of Haiti in the 2016 Rio Games, used his skill, speed and defense to edge the 27-year-old Johnson. Hitchins was marginally better in every category round after round, allowing him to build small but decisive leads en route to the unanimous decision. Johnson was slightly more active (52.6 към 49.8 punches per round) but Hitchins was more accurate and the more robust body puncher. Hitchins landed on 30 процента на Неговата сила удари, while Johnson landed just 19 процента от неговата, and Hitchins connected on 46 body shots compared to 30 for Johnson.



“Johnson was a solid fighter,- каза Хичинс. “I haven’t been in the ring since April, but I think I did great. It was the fight that I needed. I wanted the win and I got the unanimous decision. I don’t like to rate my performance without going back and re-watching the fight. I could have closed the gaps a little better. I should have capitalized on certain moments a little better.



I’m going to run the tape back and work with my coach so we can tighten up and come out the best I can possibly be. I’m excited to see what’s next and what my team has planned for me. They’ve guided me in a great direction and I just got to do what I got to do and that’s getting these guys out one at a time until I get that title shot.”



Johnson, who performed admirably, was gracious in defeat despite disagreeing with the judges’ scorecards.



“Имаше добър удар,” Johnson said. “It was easy to download him. I put the pressure on him and kept listening to my corner, and moved to the right and kept landing. Той е корав боец. Аз ще му дам, че, he definitely came to fight. We both had moments throughout the fight. He did a good job of holding as the ref called, he knew how to hold when he was getting hurt. I think I was the better fighter. Той никога не ме боли. I give him props as a fighter.



“I really want the rematch, but I doubt that will happen. I know I won. I was the better fighter at the end of the day.



In a much-anticipated rematch between two fighters with history and bad blood, Kevin Newman II (11-1-1, 6 Нокаута) avenged the only loss of his career, dominating Marcos Hernandez (14-3-1, 3 Нокаута) with a near shutout unanimous decision. Съдиите вкараха битката 80-72 и 79-73 два пъти.



Completing the full eight-round distance for the first time in his career, Newman, who is trained by former world champion Bones Adams, dominated the second half of the fight. Приземи 82 Общо удари към 46 against in rounds five through eight and was able to establish a lethal body attack that wore down Sacramento’s Hernandez, свързване на 79 body shots compared to just 10 for Hernandez. Newman also led 152-97 in overall punches landed and 114-57 in power shots, while nearly matching Hernandez in punches thrown (399 към 435).



“The revenge felt so great,” said Las Vegas’ Newman, who dropped a unanimous decision to Hernandez on the undercard of Mayweather vs. McGregor in August 2017. “Overall, I dominated. I went to the body every chance I saw an opportunity. A lot of people have never seen me box like that so it’s great to show that side of me. I was a lot more offensive and I kept the attacks to the body.



“I’d rate my performance a B-, I think I could have been busier. I’m going to continue to developing and staying busy in the ring. I don’t think he expected me to come in like I did. We gave the fans a great performance that was TV worthy and I look forward to doing it again.”



В телевизията отварачка, undefeated knockout artist Rolando Romero (10-0, 9 Нокаута) extended his KO streak to five in a row and improved his knockout rate to 90 percent by dismantling previously once-beaten challenger Juan Carlos Cordones (14-2, 9 Нокаута) with a first-round knockout.

ShowtimeBoxing/status/1190461550190120960
)



The 24-year-old Las Vegan floored Dominican Republic’s Cordones with a combination and finished the job shortly after with a flush right to the jaw. Cordones was unable to get up off the mat, and the fight was stopped just 2:14 after it started. Looking for the knockout from the opening bell, the aggressive Romero threw twice as many punches (35-17), led nine to three in overall punches landed and connected on eight of his 18 захранващи удари.



“There’s not much to say. I promised a knockout and I saw the opportunity so I went for it,” said the exuberant Romero, who has previously stated he is the hardest puncher in the world under 147 паунда. “I made him pay for coming in overweight yesterday. Гледам напред, I just plan on dominating whoever they put in front of me.



“I’m growing as a fighter and all I want to do is continue to put on a great performance for my fans and get to that next step in my career. I want anyone whoever wants next!"



The stars of the boxing world were out in Las Vegas, as promoter and future Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather and former and current world champions Gervonta Davis, Badou Jack, Ейдриън Broner, Claressa Шийлдс, Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson were all in attendance at Sam’s Town Live.



Davis, Jack and Chris Eubank Jr. all spoke with SHOWTIME expert analyst Steve Farhood to preview their upcoming fights on the network.



“I decided to move up in weight because I have a chance to win a world title in two different weight classes,", Заяви Дейвис, who faces former unified champion Yuriorkis Gamboa for the WBA lightweight title December 28 in Atlanta. “We know Gamboa is a tough opponent and we won’t sleep on him. I wanted to share the ring with somebody great. Of course Gamboa is my toughest opponent to date. I’m going to train hard for him, he’ll train hard for me and we’ll give the fans what they want to see.



“I’m just excited to be back,” said two-division champion Jack, who will face WBA light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal in the co-featured bout on December 28. “That last loss to Marcus Browne was an accident. I’m more motivated than last time. I’m hungry to get in there and get my titles back.”



Middleweight star Chris Eubank Jr. will make his United States debut on December 7 in Brooklyn when he takes on Matt Korobov.



“This has been a long time coming,"Той каза. “I’m coming over here to the States to take over. This is the perfect opportunity. I’m in the prime of my life and I can’t wait to get out there and show you guys what I’m made of.” (Full interview video: https://twitter.com/SHOsports/status/1190467999439998976)



Promoter Floyd Mayweather also spoke to Farhood during the live telecast in which four of his top prospects impressed.



“When I see potential in a fighter, I want to take them to the next level,” the all-time great said. “I’m always on the lookout to find the next Floyd Mayweather. I like to give fighter pointers about the small things. Nothing comes overnight. It’s all about working hard and surrounding yourself with a positive team.”



In undercard action that was streamed live on Mayweather Promotions’ Facebook page, Дилън Цена, Cris Reyes, and newly-signed Mayweather Promotions prospect Malik Warren all scored TKO stoppages while Ava Knight earned a unanimous decision over Luna del Mar Torroba.
