Depois de performances consecutivas por KO este ano, Newman retorna com uma vingança para enfrentar o homem que possui a única mancha em seu histórico em uma revanche com Hernandez. Em 2017, com oito lutas profissionais em seu registro, Newman apareceu no Mayweather vs. McGregor undercard onde enfrentou Hernandez, uma perspectiva crescente difícil. Depois de seis rodadas do que Newman chama, “O pior desempenho da minha carreira profissional,”Os juízes decidiram a luta por decisão unânime a favor de Hernandez. Newman aceitou a derrota com calma e se recuperou com três vitórias consecutivas e olha para a revanche, enquanto Hernandez se concentra em repetir a história.

Aqui está o que os lutadores disseram antes de novembro 1 revanche:

No acampamento de treinamento:

Newman: “Campo de treinamento foi indo muito bem. Temos trabalhado duro dia após dia, certificando-se de que não deixamos pedra sobre pedra e trabalhando em um plano de jogo sólido na noite da luta.

“Minhas corridas e treinos têm sido um pouco mais longos e mais difíceis. Estamos apenas nos concentrando em melhorar a cada dia e empurrando o máximo que podemos para garantir que obteremos o W na revanche.

“As pessoas verão uma versão ligeiramente diferente de mim desta vez. Eu não vou revelar detalhes, mas vou chocar muita gente na noite da luta e eles vão conseguir o melhor Kevin Newman.”

Hernandez: “O acampamento tem sido ótimo. Tenho uma grande equipe por trás de mim. Eu espero que ele venha mais forte para essa luta, então estamos nos preparando para qualquer coisa desta vez. Mas permaneceremos inteligentes o tempo todo. Há coisas que estou levando comigo desta vez que aprendi e pratiquei na academia. Eu melhorei desde a nossa última luta, então é melhor ele estar pronto. ”

Sobre qual a importância de uma vitória e a rivalidade entre os lutadores:

Newman: “Uma vitória nessa luta faz muito pela minha carreira, mas não é apenas a vitória em si, é como eu ganho que fará mais por mim. Os fãs podem esperar uma luta explosiva. Isso vai me colocar em um ótimo lugar para avançar minha carreira e conseguir lutas mais difíceis, que levará ao gol final de uma disputa de título.

“Há definitivamente alguma animosidade entre nós. Muito foi dito, mais do lado dele do que do meu, mas eu apenas deixo ele e seu acampamento falarem. Espero que ele lute para vencer e vou continuar a trabalhar duro como fiz nos últimos dois anos, desde a primeira luta. Nós não gostamos um do outro, Posso dizer-lhe que, então essa luta vai trazer fogos de artifício e eu vou apenas deixar minhas mãos falarem e pegar o W. "

Hernandez: “Uma segunda vitória só vai provar que sou o melhor lutador.

“Eu sempre venho para vencer; Eu treino para vencer. Minha família estará presente me apoiando e eu sei a vontade dele também, então esta será uma luta em que nós dois temos muito a provar.

“Tem havido muita conversa sobre essa revanche, mas nada disso me afeta. Estou apenas trabalhando duro e vou gozar ainda mais forte do que na primeira luta. Nenhuma das coisas fora do ringue realmente importa para mim. Eu derrotei ele e o derrotei em 2017, e pretendo fazer o mesmo novamente desta vez, misturado com algumas outras táticas. ”

Qual é a sensação de lutar em rede nacional?

Newman: “É ótimo voltar e lutar em rede nacional, especialmente por lutar no SHOWTIME pela primeira vez na minha carreira. Sou muito grato a Leonard Ellerbe e Floyd Mayweather, bem como ao SHOWTIME por me dar esta oportunidade. A última vez que lutei em rede nacional, dei uma grande demonstração de meu talento e habilidades, então estou ansioso para fazer o mesmo desta vez. ”

“Estou muito animado com esta oportunidade de me redimir. Eu sabia que esse dia chegaria, Eu só não sabia quando. Eu ganhei lutas desde a primeira luta e tive desempenhos dominantes no processo, mas nada preencheu esse vazio. Esta é minha oportunidade de fazer isso, então vem novembro 1, quando tudo estiver dito e feito, Eu vou ser vitorioso.”

Hernandez: “É a minha primeira vez noShoBox e sou grato por esta experiência. Os fãs podem esperar uma grande luta. Ele é um lutador muito bom e eu não vou tirar nada dele. Mover-se novamente será um desafio, mas acho que posso vencê-lo novamente. ”

Principais perspectivas de promoções de Mayweather Martinez, Richardson Hitchins, Kevin Newman II e Rolando Romero apresentados em combates separados ao vivo no SHOWTIME® Do Sam’s Town ao vivo em Las Vegas



LAS VEGAS - Outubro 1, 2019 - Invicto superpluma em perspectiva Xavier Martinez retorna aoShoBox: A Nova Geração para seu segundo teste direto na série quando ele enfrenta o veterano filipinoJessie Cris Rosales no evento principal de 10 assaltos de uma transmissão de quatro lutas na sexta-feira, Novembro 1 vivo no canal Showtime (10:30 p.m. ET / PT) a partir de Sam’s Town Live em Las Vegas.

Possível peso meio-médio Hitchins enfrentará derrotado Kevin Johnson (7-1, 4 KOs) em um ataque de oito rodada, enquanto a perspectiva dos médios Newman tentará vingar a única perda de sua carreira para Mark Anthony Hernandez (14-2-1, 3 KOs), um participante do 2018 reinicialização The Contender, em outro confronto de oito rodadas.

“Este é o nosso segundo ShoBox show do ano e estamos felizes por ter feito de Sam’s Town a nossa casa para esses eventos,”Diz o CEO da Mayweather Promotions, Leonard Ellerbe. “Não posso dizer o suficiente que este é o cenário e a plataforma perfeitos para mostrar nossos futuros clientes em potencial. Xavier Martinez deve ficar atento quando ele manchete seu primeiro ShoBox cartão. Temos um line-up muito emocionante de lutadores, dentro e fora da televisão, fazendo um cartão que você não quer perder. ”



Martinez (14-0, 10 KOs), de Sacramento, Calif., marcou seis nocautes consecutivos, incluindo uma paralisação na terceira rodada de John Vicente Moralde em seu ShoBox estreia em abril (Assistir KO Aqui). O jovem de 21 anos tornou-se profissional em 2017 no México seguindo uma carreira amadora, onde acumulou uma 85-10 recorde enquanto competia no 2012 e 2013 Campeonatos Nacionais e ganhando uma classificação como o Não. 3 amador no país. Mais conhecido por seu estilo de luta astuto e poderoso, Martinez juntou-se à equipe de Promoções Mayweather no final 2016 com vitória por decisão unânime sobre Wilfredo Garriga em Sam’s Town Live.



“Estou muito animado para voltar ao ringue,”Disse Martinez, de 21 anos. “Sam’s Town se tornou minha casa longe de casa e eu tive ótimas apresentações lá. Estou realmente ansioso para fazer uma ótima performance novamente na televisão nacional e alcançar um público maior. Logo todos saberão quem é Xavier Martinez.



“Campo de treinamento está indo muito bem. Eu adicionei um treinador de força e condicionamento e uma nutricionista. Ter alguém me ajudando a preparar minhas refeições e me educar sobre o que está acontecendo em meu corpo realmente me ajudou a treinar melhor e a colocar meu corpo na forma certa. Meu nível de energia para treinar é diferente e me sinto mais forte.”



Rosales (22-3-1, 10 KOs), 27, se tornou profissional em 2008 e começou sua carreira profissional invicto em seu primeiro 22 lutas enquanto competia principalmente em suas Filipinas natal. Rosales aumentou seu nível de oposição em 2017, perder para o ex-campeão mundial de duas divisões Jhonny Gonzalez em 2017 e 2016 Medalha de prata olímpica e potencial invicto Shakur Stevenson em 2019. Em sua última luta, ele perdeu uma decisão dividida para o candidato invicto Tyler McCeary. Experiente contra grandes adversários, As três derrotas de Rosales foram contra adversários com um recorde combinado de 96-11-1.



“Ele está invicto, mas tenho muito mais experiência com caras melhores, então tenho essa vantagem vindo para essa luta,”Disse Rosales. “Estou saindo de duas lutas duras e essa vai ser mais uma grande luta para me testar como lutador e também um bom show para os fãs. Estou de volta à academia trabalhando em algumas coisas, e estou entrando nesta luta mais forte e mais nítido. "



Hitchins (9-0, 5 KOs), a partir de Brooklyn, N.I., é um ex-campeão do Luvas de Ouro que representou o país natal de seus pais, o Haiti, no 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, onde perdeu para Gary Russell Jr da equipe dos EUA. Um dos melhores jovens candidatos do boxe, Hitchins treinou e treinou com vários campeões mundiais, incluindo Terence Crawford e seu colega de equipa Gervonta Davis. Apenas 21 anos, Hitchins ostenta uma incrível velocidade de mãos e pés e o QI de um lutador veterano. Tendo lutado oito de suas nove lutas profissionais em sua cidade natal, Hitchins vai viajar para Las Vegas em busca de uma vitória de declaração em sua estreia na televisão.



“Estou pronto para recomeçar de onde parei,”Disse Hitchins. “Tenho permanecido em grande forma desde que meu último oponente caiu em julho, mas funcionou porque agora tenho a oportunidade de mostrar meus talentos na televisão nacional. Meu irmão tanque [Gervonta Davis] me mostrou muitas coisas neste verão e ótimas técnicas para aprimorar minhas habilidades. Estou trabalhando duro e conseguindo trabalho em várias academias de diferentes classes de peso para me ajudar com minha velocidade e potência. Vou dar tudo de mim e entregar com uma vitória dominante. ”



Johnson, um residente de Las Vegas, começou sua carreira profissional com quatro vitórias consecutivas por TKO. Suas últimas quatro lutas foram todas contra uma oposição invicta, incluindo uma vitória por decisão dividida sobre Larry Gomez, que era 8-0 entrando na luta, em sua última saída em abril. A única derrota de Johnson veio contra 2016 Medalha de ouro olímpica Fazliddin Gaibnazarov.



“Essa vai ser uma luta divertida para os fãs,”Disse Johnson. “Prevejo um nocaute no quarto ou quinto round - não sou eu sendo arrogante, apenas eu entendendo o que está em jogo. Esta é uma grande luta para mim e vou estar à altura da ocasião. Estou aqui para expor a todos com quem piso. Vou lutar contra qualquer um que eu achar que é um bom desafio. Eu vi Hitchins treinar Devin Haney e vi algumas de suas lutas. Ele foi muito bem, mas consegui identificar algumas oportunidades e me sinto confiante de que posso vencer esse garoto. ”



Newman de Las Vegas começou no boxe quando ainda era 9 anos de idade e construiu um recorde amador de 25-5 antes de se tornar profissional 2014. Impressionado com as habilidades e técnica de Newman no ringue como um amador, Floyd Mayweather assinou com o crescente peso médio para seu crescente estábulo de lutadores no verão de 2014. Newman fez sua estreia profissional no Mayweather vs. Maidana II undercard, onde lutou pelo empate com Azamat Umarzoda. Ele venceu suas próximas sete competições antes de cair uma decisão para novembro 1 adversário, Mark Anthony Hernandez, na eliminatória de Mayweather vs. McGregor em agosto 2017. Desde então, ele se recuperou com três vitórias consecutivas por KO em Sam’s Town.



“Agradeço a minha equipe por mais uma luta,”Disse Newman. “Esta é a minha terceira luta este ano, e estou ansioso para fazer um show e realmente terminar este ano com uma explosão. O acampamento de treinamento consistiu em uma grande luta com caras de nível A, incluindo Anthony Dirrell por sua luta com David Benavidez. Consegui obter muitas rodadas de qualidade já, e este é apenas o começo do meu campo de treinamento. Estou extremamente afiado agora, então estamos apenas mantendo isso e colocando meu corpo em forma de luta. "



Hernandez, 26, de Fresno, Calif., não é estranho lutar sob os holofotes. Depois de perder uma decisão dividida para Kyrone Davis em 2017, Hernandez se recuperou com a maior vitória de sua carreira sobre Newman na eliminatória do blockbuster Mayweather vs. Evento McGregor. Hernandez estava entre 16 lutadores profissionais selecionados para competir em 160 libras no 2018 reinicialização The Contender série. Ele obteve uma decisão dividida sobre Danny Valdivia e um veredicto unânime sobre Quantavious Cash para terminar atrás do campeão Brandon Adams e do vice-campeão Shane Mosley Jr. Em fevereiro deste ano, sofreu contratempo em revanche contra Jeison Rosario, com quem ele lutou para empatar 2018, mas se recuperou com vitória por decisão unânime sobre Francisco Castro em sua última luta.



“Espero que Kevin venha melhor do que na primeira vez que lutamos,”Disse Hernandez. “A primeira luta foi uma decisão unânime clara para mim. Eu não achei que houvesse qualquer polêmica. Ele tem suas razões pelas quais ele não executou, mas isso não importa para mim. Eu subi de peso para levar aquela luta de 154 para 165 libras então eu também estava entrando com uma ligeira desvantagem, e agora estou subindo novamente para lutar com ele novamente. Eu o derrotei e venci na primeira vez e os fãs podem esperar uma grande luta novamente. Ele é um lutador muito bom, Eu não vou tirar nada dele. Mover-se novamente será um desafio, mas acho que posso vencê-lo novamente.”



Peso leve em ascensão Romero, nascido e criado no norte de Las Vegas, começou sua carreira de boxe aos anos 18 depois de passar grande parte de sua juventude competindo no judô. Apesar de uma carreira amadora limitada que consiste apenas em 45 lutas, Romero chamou a atenção de Floyd Mayweather e assinou contrato com sua empresa promocional em novembro de 2016. Ele fez sua estreia profissional no mês seguinte e marcou um nocaute técnico com pouco mais de um minuto de luta. Com oito paralisações em nove lutas profissionais, Romero dá um soco forte e espera seu quinto nocaute direto em novembro 1.



“Tem sido um ótimo ano para mim profissionalmente,”Disse Romero. “Consegui ganhar uma base de fãs ainda maior desde minha última apresentação no início deste ano e estou animado para fazer o que faço de melhor e isso é eliminar a competição e continuar a crescer como lutador. Muitas pessoas duvidaram de mim por minha falta de experiência amadora, mas meu poder e QI de boxe são inegáveis. Estou aproveitando a experiência da minha última luta e trabalhando para corrigir algumas coisas. Meu objetivo é me tornar o lutador mais versátil apoiado pelo poder. ”



Barry Tompkins, do Hall da Fama, ligará para o ShoBox ação do ringue com o colega do Hall da Fama Steve Farhood e o ex-campeão mundial Raul Marquez atuando como analistas especialistas. O produtor executivo é Gordon Hall com Richard Gaughan produção e direção de Rick Phillips.

Watch the Wilder KO : http://s.sho.com/2I0JWJB
BROOKLYN (Março 4, 2018) – Campeão mundial peso-pesado invicto Deontay “A Bomber Bronze” Wilder retained his WBC title in his seventh defense with a tenth round knockout over unbeaten challenger Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz in a thrilling back-and-forth SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event Saturday night from Barclays Center, a casa de BROOKLYN BOXING®.
Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) not only survived the toughest test of his career but also finished the job in spectacular fashion by unleashing a ferocious 10th round assault on Ortiz (28-1, 24 KOs). Wilder floored the Cuban challenger twice in the round, forcing referee David Fields to stop the fight at2:05 da ronda. Watch the knockout video AQUI.
Oritz looked like he would dethrone Wilder in the seventh round, countering with a strong right hand that hurt the WBC heavyweight champion. Ortiz unleashed a barrage of punches against a stunned Wilder, who somehow managed to stay on his feet to close the round before being saved by the bell. Ortiz continued his assault on Wilder into the eighth round, who again managed to make it through the round.
In the ninth round, Wilder began to rebound as he knocked Ortiz off-balance with a straight right hand. America’s only reigning heavyweight champion was firmly back in the fight as he landed a strong combination on Ortiz to close the round, completely changing the momentum of the fight.
Both fighters came out strong at the start of the tenth round, landing simultaneous blows that made each fighter temporarily wobbly. But it was Wilder who capitalized on the moment, as the Alabama-native pounced on Ortiz, sending his opponent to the canvas for the second time of the night with a flurry of overhand right hands. A dazed Ortiz returned to his feet, but was unable to withstand a follow-up assault from a confident Wilder, who landed an uppercut that sent Ortiz to the canvas for the third and final time.
Following his third successful title defense at Barclays Center, an emotional Wilder spoke to SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray about the most difficult fight of his career.
A true champion always finds a way to come back and that’s what I did hoje à noite,” Disse Wilder. “Luis Ortiz is definitely a crafty guy. He put up a great fight. We knew we had to wear him down. I showed everyone I can take a punch.
He was hitting me with those furious punches but they didn’t have sting on them. He was throwing combos that knocked me off balance. I just had to get my range back and my fundamentals back. And I was able to do that. I showed I was a true champion hoje à noite.”
A proud but disappointed Ortiz, who was on the brink of a sensational seventh round stoppage of Wilder before the bell rang, also spoke to Gray following the fight.
It was a great fight and I performed well,” Ortiz said. “I thought I was up on the scorecard going into the tenth round, but it’s heavyweight boxing and you never know what’s going to happen.
I almost had him and I think I would’ve if there were a few more seconds in the round.
Wilder out landed Ortiz 98-87, although Ortiz held a slight advantage in landed power punches, 63-60.
In the co-featured event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, Jose Uzcategui (27-2, 23 KOs) derrotado Andre Dirrell (26-3, 16 KOs) via TKO two seconds into round nine, upon the request of Dirrell’s trainer, Virgil Hunter. A vitória, which makes Uzcategui the interim IBF Super Middleweight World Champion, puts the hard-hitting Venezuelan in position to fight for the super middleweight title that Caleb Truax earned via a majority decision over James DeGale in December.
Saturday night’s fight was a rematch of the hotly contested May 2017 fim, in which Uzcategui was disqualified for landing a punch after the bell sounded to end the eighth round. Na revanche, Uzcategui dominated the action from start to finish, using his powerful right hand to set the stage for the withering assault which led to Dirrell’s corner stopping the fight two seconds into round nine. Uzcategui out landed Dirrell 169-141 in total punches, including a huge 112-51 discrepancy in power punches landed.
I was a little surprised they stopped it in the ninth,” Disse Uzcategui. “I had said it would be the third round that I would knock him out. It took a little longer, but it finally came.
I think it was very clear in the first fight that I did my job. In the second fight I showed even more, so there’s going to be a lot of Uzcategui from now on.
Dirrell, a native of Flint, Michigan, found Uzcategui’s length and aggression difficult to deal with.
I’ve been in there with long fighters before, but he was especially long,” Disse Dirrell. “I think I was a little heavier than I wanted to be hoje à noite, but that’s no excuse. Uzcategui did a great job.
We knew we needed a knockout. The way it was going I needed to at least pick it up. I felt a little sluggish and he hit all the right shots. None of them really hurt, but he hit me where he was supposed to.
In a world title fight featured on the undercard, Long Island, Alicia Napoleon (9-1, 5 KOs) won the Vacant Women’s WBA Super Middleweight world title with a dominant unanimous decision victory over Femke Hermans (6-1, 3 KOs).
It’s hard to find words to describe this right now,” said Napoleon. “It’s so surreal it’s almost like a dream. I’m just glad I did it. This is one down, but there’s many more to go. The goal is to get all the belts.
Napoleon controlled the action with her power and superior athletic prowess and wobbled Hermans in the final round before earning the decision by scores of 99-91 e 98-92 duas vezes.
I think this means a lot for women’s boxing, not just that I won the belt, but where I was placed on this great card,” said Napoleon. “People are going to continue to see and hear more and more from women boxers.

CITAÇÕES FLASH

Deontay WILDER:

“I’m going to let the world know that the weight don’t mean a thing; it’s all mental at the end of the day. Like I’ve said, I’d rather be the part than look the part. I’ve said many a time that I put these guys on their ass, and that’s what I come to do Sábado noite. Over and over again all my guys have out-weighed me. So that’s nothing compared to where I came from, and nothing compared to where I’m going come Sábado noite. You’re all in for a treat and I can’t wait.

 

“On paper he’s looked good against the opposition he’s faced, but he’s never faced a Bronze Bomber; he’s never faced a guy who has more killer instinct than him. He’s never faced a guy who wants to just rip his head off, and I do mean rip his head off!

 

“I am the best and I’m ready to show no sábado night that I’m the best in the world.”

 

LUIS ORTIZ:

 

 

“Our training camp was prepared for whatever Deontay Wilder was going to bring into the ring, whether it was a runner, or a puncher – whatever he wants to do we have trained for it so there’s no problem.

 

 

“You have to adapt and make changes come fight night, and I’m prepared to do that and I’m experienced to do that. I’ve been waiting my whole career to do this as a pro and as an amateur this is something I never dreamed I would do, and I’m not losing amanhã."

 

 

ANDRE DIRRELL:

 

 

“I just saw a piece of meat, and I’m hungry.

 

 

“The IBF demanded this. There were two wrongs from the last fight and I was hit after the bell, and he was hit after the bell. The IBF wanted to right that wrong and this is the only way to do so. He deserves this shot and I deserve this shot. It’s going to be a better fight this time around.

 

 

“It’s all about what [new trainer] Virgil [Caçador] has done with my mind. The ability is there, as we all know. We’ve perfected that. And we’ve changed the mind this time, também.

 

 

“We all know that Jose Uzcategui is a fighter in full; that boy can throw, but that’s just not going to be enough come fight night.”

 

 

JOSE Uzcategui:

 

 

“The ref will not have to intervene; I’ll knock him out quicker this time.”

 

 

“Maybe if Virgil Hunter gets in the ring too because that’s the only way they’re going to win is if the corner gets in the rings. Because that’s the only way they will get the win.”

Aqui está o que os participantes tinham a dizer Quinta-feira:
Deontay WILDER
The reason I wanted this fight is not only do I think Ortiz is one of the best technical fighters in the division, but he’s the boogeyman that everyone is running from. Champions have avoided him and I’ve always said I was the best and this is my chance to prove it.
This result isn’t up to anyone but myself. Every time I get under the bright lights, I give the fans what they want to see. This is the best versus the best and that’s what boxing deserves.
I had all the excuses in the world to run away from this fight after he failed the test. There are a lot of good, up-and-coming heavyweights out there, but I wasn’t interested in them. This fight is how I prove that I’m the baddest man on the planet.
“Em março 3, with all the personal things put aside, it’s going to be an honor to fight Luis Ortiz, man to man and father to father. I know that family is his motivation, just like it is for me, and that’s why I blessed him with this opportunity.
The exciting thing about Saturday night is for everyone to see what I’m capable of doing. Luis Ortiz is determined to get my WBC belt. This is my seventh defense of my title and I’ve enjoyed every one. It’s a lot of responsibility and I take it seriously. You’ll all see no sábado night why I’ve said the things I’ve said.
Everyone knows what I’m expecting Sábado noite. I can’t say it enough. I have knocked every opponent out for a reason. I plan on continuing my knockout streak. That’s what I do and that’s what I’m best at.
This is the best fight right here in boxing that can be made. Não tem como ficar melhor do que isso no sábado noite. You have to be here in person, because you won’t want to miss anything. You never know what you’ll see, mas Sábado night will be bombs away.
LUIS ORTIZ
I never say anything bad about fighters because inside the ring, tudo pode acontecer. I respect everyone who steps into the ring. Esta é minha oportunidade. Esta é a minha vez. Deontay is a great champion but this is my chance.
Like I always say, this is my time and it’s going to be a great triumph. This is big for all of Cuban boxing and I will make my country proud.
This is going to be like two trains on the same track about to collide. I’m going to win and I’m going to take his belt.
This is not a video game. This is not using controllers. You have to actually step into the ring with me no sábado noite.
Deontay is scared. He’s talking a lot of nonsense. He’s worried about what I’m going to do. Esta é a minha vez. I’m going to show everyone.
“Eu sou 100 percent ready to go. Sparring has been amazing and I’m totally prepared for Deontay Wilder. Deontay’s biggest mistake is that he talks too much.
I looked into his eyes and I knew that I’m not going to lose this opportunity. I’m going to be the first Cuban and the first Latino born outside the country to win a title. Sábado night will be historic.
The public gave me this opportunity to fight for the title and beat you for your belt. I’m going to make the most of my chance and knock Deontay Wilder out.
ANDRE DIRRELL
It was a rocky start for me in our first fight. He caught me with a good shot in the early rounds, but I was able to fight through it. I started to dominate the second half of the fight but he had definitely thrown my game off. I still weathered the storm and made good things happen. This fight is very deserving of a rematch and I’m looking forward to it.
This fight right here is one of the beautiful moments we have in boxing. There were two wrongs that night in the last fight. I’m really happy with everyone who has made this rematch and gave the sport what it deserves.
Now Jose Uzcategui and myself both have chances to prove ourselves again. This is going to be the worst opportunity of Uzcategui’s life. But it will be the best opportunity for me.
This is my opportunity to prove all of the critics wrong this time. I’m not the favorite, and it’s a beautiful thing. I’m going to change every single mind no sábado noite. I’m stepping up to the plate, and I’m preparing to hit a home run.
Virgil Hunter has definitely helped me with my mental game. We’ve worked on a masterful game plan. Virgil is tough to work with but we did all of the necessary things we had to in order to accomplish what we have to no sábado.
The next two years or more will be the best years of my career. I’ve been blessed with an illustrious career. This is a new look for me and I feel good. I have a very tough, hungry fighter in front of me and I can’t wait to prove myself.
JOSE Uzcategui
We’re not doing anything differently heading into this fight. I’ve put the time in at the gym every day to make sure that the fight ends conclusively this time.
Before I even got to the ring in the first fight I felt some animosity from the referee towards me and it kind of led to what happened in the fight.
Saturday night you’re not just going to see that I’m a boxer-puncher, but you’ll see my full power on display.
I’m happy to be in this rematch. I hope that Dirrell brings action like he’s talking about no sábado. I don’t want to chase him around the ring all night.
I’m ready to accomplish my dreams, and that involves beating Andre Dirrell more decisively than last night and leaving no doubt at all who the better fighter is.
Lou DiBella, Presidente da DiBella Entertainment
Deontay Wilder put everything aside to face one of the greatest amateur heavyweights in the history of boxing. This fight is happening because Deontay is that good and he’s that proud. Deontay is ready to prove that he’s the baddest man on the planet.
There is a sensational off-television undercard beginning at 5:30 p.m. at Barclays Center that includes a group of top contenders and prospects. It’s really a loaded undercard from top to bottom.
That great undercard includes a woman’s title fight involving Alicia Napoleon. Everyone involved in this fight has made an effort to have women’s boxing represented on our cards and I’m proud to be able to deliver that for fans.
This will be Deontay’s third defense of his title in Brooklyn at Barclays Center. He successfully defended against Artur Szpilka and Bermane Stiverne, with two frightening knockouts. I’m proud to work with Barclays Center and promote boxing in Brooklyn. This is certainly one of the best venues for boxing in the world and certainly a venue that is dedicated to bringing the fans consistently excellent programming inside the arena.
This fight is getting the kind of reception that it deserves. If you want to get tickets for Sábadonoite, I would call now because they’re moving fast.
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & Programação de eventos, Showtime Sports Inc.
When we have a fight card like this, the network gets a lot of credit but these fights truly don’t happen unless fighters like Wilder and Ortiz are ready to take the fights.
When we announced our schedule back in January, there was one fight that jumped out to everyone, and it was Wilder vs. Ortiz. They have 67 fights between them, 67 vitórias, 0 perdas e 62 nocautes. This is part of what we’re calling ‘March Madness’ no canal Showtime. All four heavyweight titles, the top four heavyweights in the world, including Anthony Joshua vs. Joseph Parker on Março 31, facing each other this month on SHOWTIME. There hasn’t been a lineup like that put together by any network in the history of the sport.
The titles are great but these fights are about something else. They’re about legacy. When people look back and ask, ‘what kind of fighter was Deontay Wilder?’ This is the fight that they will talk about. More important than knockouts and unbeaten records, this is why fighters are remembered.
“Dirrell vs. Uzcategui 2 is good enough to be a main event and they deserve to have a great stage for this rematch. These are the kind of cards that people look back and say, were you there that night? If you’re not watching this card, you’re not a boxing fan. Because this is the best that the sport has to offer.
BRETT Yormark, CEO do Brooklyn Sports & Diversão
I can’t tell you how excited I am for Saturday night. People are starting to realize how viable this sport is and that boxing is a sport on the rise. We’re thrilled to be a part of it
Events like Sábado in Brooklyn are why this sport is thriving. It features a deep card from top to bottom, 50-50 fights and great fighters with magnetic personalities
“Deontay, even though you weren’t born in Brooklyn, we do consider you our own. We’re excited to have Luis Ortiz as well, pela primeira vez, no sábado noite. This is a card from top to bottom that’s incredible and I’m thrilled to welcome Andre and Jose to Brooklyn.
The seats are moving really quickly and this should be one of the biggest fights we’ve had at Barclays Center. We’re very excited for this show and look forward to seeing everyone there.

Luis Ortiz Looks to Make Heavyweight History by Becoming First Latino or Hispanic Heavyweight World Champion Born Outside U.S.

Unbeaten Cuban Faces WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder Sábado, Março 3 live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center in Brooklyn & Apresentado pela Premier Boxe Campeões
BROOKLYN (Fevereiro 26, 2018) – When unbeaten heavyweight Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz faces WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder Sábado, Março 3 viver no canal Showtime do Barclays Center, a casa de BROOKLYN BOXE ™, he will be looking to make history not just for Cuban boxing, but for all Hispanic or Latino fighters.
Ortiz has a chance to become the first Latino or Hispanic heavyweight world champion born outside of the U.S. and just the second heavyweight of Latino or Hispanic descent to capture the heavyweight world title. The first was Massachusetts’ John Ruiz, whose parents were Puerto Rican and who defeated Evander Holyfield for the WBA Heavyweight World Championship in March 2001.
This fight is not only important for my family, but for Cuban boxing history,” disse Ortiz. “My only focus right now is on the strategy I will need to defeat Wilder, but I know this fight has a lot of significance. I’m going to make history for myself and my country when I knock out Wilder on Março 3.”
Cuba has had three previous fighters vie for the heavyweight title, with Jorge Luis Gonzalez losing to Riddick Bowe in 1995 and Vitali Klitschko defeating both Juan Carlos Gomez in 2009 Odlanier Solis in 2011. Ortiz hopes to stake his claim to the upper echelon of Cuban heavyweight lore along with heavyweight Teofilo Stevenson, who won three Olympic gold medals and is considered the greatest Cuban fighter of all time, despite never fighting professionally.
The strong boxing tradition of Cuba has continued to this day, with Ortiz looking to become the 18th world titlist from the country. Prominent active Cuban fighters include WBA 154-pound champion Erislandy Lara, who fights Jarrett Hurd in a unification showdown Abril 7 no canal Showtime, and two-division world champion Rances Barthelemy, who looks to become the first three-division champion in Cuban history Março 10 no canal Showtime.
The history of Hispanic fighters vying for the heavyweight title dates back to the legendary matchup in 1923 between Jack Dempsey and Argentina’s Luis Firpo. Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and Larry Holmes all defended against Hispanic challengers while Deontay Wilder has beaten three Mexican-American opponents in Chris Arreola, Gerald Washington and Eric Molina.
The fourth heavyweight title fight in Barclays Center history will give Ortiz a chance to make his name not only as a world champion, but a barrier-breaker for Hispanic heavyweights.

No evento principal, WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder will make the seventh and most difficult defense of his title against fellow-unbeaten heavyweight Luis Ortiz.
In the opening bout of the Março 3 doubleheader, Andre Dirrell and Jose Uzcategui will meet for the Interim IBF Super Middleweight World Championship in an immediate rematch of one of 2017’s best and most controversial fights.
Charlo vs. Centeno will now be a featured bout on the previously announced Abril 21 SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

I’m devastated.,said Centeno. “I’ve been in the gym for a long time. Being so close to a fight and accomplishing my dream of a world title it’s devastating.
It happened during sparring. I tried to work through the pain and as the day progressed and the adrenaline subsided I had to go to the ER and get checked out. It’s a good enough injury that it had to be postponed. Nothing was broken, but it was severe enough to keep me from fighting.
I was just about to peak. Now I have to taper off a bit and cut back to let my body recover and then pick it up and get some momentum back.
“Eu estou pronto para ir,” Disse Charlo. “Eu sou 167 libras agora, and this was the best camp I’ve ever had. I’m so disappointed. I’m at a loss for words. When you want something so bad and you don’t get it, you can’t be a kid about it. You just have to deal with it.
I’m hungry and I’m ready to get back in the ring. I’m still coming to the fight though. I’m going be there to support Deontay. I love Barclays Center and all my fans in Brooklyn.
