In the tenth and final round, Figueroa sealed the win with a powerful combination that ended in a right upper cut to Escandon’s chin, sending him to the canvas rendering him unable to stand at minute 1:42.

 

 

 

Escandon is tough. He is short and it was hard to get to the body,” Said Figueroa. “I can fight both inside and outside, but his size did matter. I had to get in there and he wasn’t backing up. I was ready for this fight. Opportunities like this don’t come often so I had to take it and run with it. I have been training all summer and I am ready to take a few days off and get right back to it.

 

 

 

I knew Figueroa was good, but I was surprised at how tough he was,” said Escandon. “Everyone can get caught with a punch. I wasn’t tired. Tocmai am fost prins. I am okay. I am going to keep going.

The fight ended in the with 41 seconds to go in the fifth round as Joyce landed a hard left hook to Kiladze’s body knocking him out.

 

 

 

It is great to be here,” said Joyce. “I started training in the United States because it was the best way to start my career here,” said Joyce. “It is great to have my sixth win here and I look forward to getting in the ring again soon. I think I made a great impression here tonight and I just want to continue that streak.

 

 

 

Also featured on the card was fast-rising star Joey Spencer (5-0, 5 KO) of Union City, Calif. Against Cory Macon (0-3-0) of Durham, NC in a four-round middleweight bout.

He continued to attack the body, but with a hard left hook, he sent Macon to the canvas, ending the fight just inside round number one at minute 2:36.

 

 

 

I stay active and stay in the gym. It keeps me focused and ready,” said Spencer. “My goal is to become a world champion by age 20. Fans need to keep an eye on me and my career because I am here to stay.

 

 

 

Efe Ajagba (7-0-0, 6 KO) faced Nick Jones (7-1-0, 5 KO) of Okmulgee, OK in a six-round heavyweight fight that didn’t even last one round. With a hard right hand, Ajagba sent Jones to the canvas with a devastating knockout in 2:25 de primul.

 

 

 

Now we know why my last opponent walked out of the ring. He was afraid that was going to happen to him,” said Ajagba. “I watched tape of Jones and I knew he was slow. I was ready to attack the minute I got into the ring. I want anyone that my management will put in front of me. Eu sunt gata. I prepared for six rounds and I can’t wait to get back in the ring.

 

 

 

In a televised swing bout, young prospect Jose Balderas (5-0-0) of Santa Maria, Calif. was tested by Mexican Ivan Martino (3-3-0, 3 KO) într-un cocoș, but was able to get his shots off, connected with several left hooks to Martino’s body.

Here is what the participants at the media event had to say Thursday from Fortune Gym in Los Angeles:

 

VICTOR ORTIZ

 

 

 

“John Molina Jr. is a warrior, and it’s going to be two warriors on fight night. This is another chance for me to do what I love to do and what I have the most passion in the world for.

 

 

 

You have to keep that fire burning inside you to keep competing in this sport. You have to go in there 100 mile pe oră. This is a sport and I’m going in there to destroy him, then we can go have lunch after.

 

 

 

I have lots of respect for Molina, but this is still boxing. He’s in my way right now and I’m going to knock him out of the way.

 

 

 

I have one big task ahead of me and that’s John Molina Jr. septembrie 30. I can’t focus on anyone else out there, as much as I may want to fight them. I have a tremendous challenge in front of me.

 

 

 

I don’t feel that I have the size advantage. Molina is a big guy. I’m not too small or anything, but at the end of the day we’re going to have a good dance in that ring and there’s going to be no excuses.

 

 

 

I’m working hard each day in camp to be ready for September 30. Whatever the coaches have been asking of me, I’ve been there and delivered.

 

JOHN MOLINA JR.

 

 

 

I know that Victor is going to be himself in there. We’re both veterans who have been been down this road before. He’s coming to win and that’s what excites me. I think everyone watching is going to get a treat on September 30.

 

 

 

Victor is probably the physically bigger guy because he’s been at welterweight longer, but I think I carry the weight well. I’ve always been big for my weight classes so I think it will fit perfectly.

 

 

 

Training is what I do. I’ve been down this road before so it’s really just built into my system to get in the gym and work hard. Everything has been going great. We’re on track with some hard work ahead to be ready for fight night.

 

 

 

Victor deserves my undivided attention and he has it. Especially for this fight. He is a big strong guy who hits hard for 147-pounds. I never pick the easy guy when I move up in weight. My first fight at 140 was Lucas Matthysse and I expect fireworks for this fight as well.

 

 

 

My ability to bounce back and deal with adversity in the ring is all about mindset. When I’m in that ring, I’m just 100 percent focused on doing what I have to do for my family. I’ve been blessed by boxing. I put it all on the line.

 

 

 

I know I have to go through the fire every time I get into the ring. If I didn’t think that I’d be fooling myself. You can say what you want about Victor, but he’s always been in exciting fights and I’m going to have to deal with that style on September 30.

 

KARLOS BALDERAS

 

 

 

I envision myself going out there and breaking down my opponent little by little. I think we’ve kept the same kind of training going, but me and my brother are much more comfortable as pros now, so it’s gotten even more productive.

 

 

 

I’m excited to keep working and getting my rounds in, while also having fun with this job I’m blessed to have. I’m not planning to let this fight go the distance and I’m going to take the opportunity to end it when I see it.

 

 

 

Me and my brother both believe that the fight is really won in the gym. By the time you get up into the ring, it’s just sparring really. That helps me stay relaxed and focused on the work I’m there to do and not worried about anything going on around me.

 

JOSE BALDERAS

 

 

 

I feel great going into this fight. I’ve learned a lot from each time I’ve gotten into the ring and I’m going to take that into this next fight to put on my best performance.

 

 

 

My goal is always to go out there and be great. I’m ready to break my opponent down and do what I have to do.

 

 

 

It’s exciting to be on the same card as my brother again. We definitely are still invested in each other’s fights. Hopefully we can each take care of business and be able to be there cheering each other on.

 

RICHARD SCHAEFER, Preşedinte & CEO al Ringstar Sport

 

 

 

It’s refreshing to see the level of respect from Ortiz and Molina. This is an extremely evenly matched fight with no clear favorite. These are fighters who can create a memorable night. It’s the perfect example of how styles make fights.

 

 

 

Both of these men know how to entertain and are must-see television every time they step into the ring. Now they’re fighting each other and it’s got war written all over it. The fans watching on Sunday night and here in Ontario are in for a treat.

 

 

 

I’m excited to see the continued development of Karlos Balderas on September 30. He is quickly making an impression throughout the sport and I believe he’s going to prove that he can live up to the promise in the not too distant future. Sunday will be another step toward what he can really accomplish.

John and I have known each other for many years. I’m not one to bad mouth anybody, but especially this guy. We’re in this to go to war on September 30. I fight violently and I can’t change that. I hope at the end of the day it gives people a fun showdown.

 

 

 

I’m happy to be back in this position as the main event and for it to be in Southern California is even better. I’m humbled to have this opportunity.

 

 

 

I still feel strong and powerful and I’m not going to waste this time I have to still compete at the highest level. I’m ready to go out there and put on another war for the fans.

 

 

 

“John Molina Jr. actually told me at the Mayweather vs. McGregor press conference that he was moving up to 147 and I better get out of the way, so it’s funny now that we’re facing-off. We have a lot of mutual respect for each other. It doesn’t change anything though, we’re going to go out there and give it our all.

 

JOHN MOLINA JR., Fostul Lumea Titlul Challenger

 

 

 

I’m grateful to Victor Ortiz and his team for accepting this challenge. We have nothing but respect for each other. My only prediction is that September 30 is going to be two guys coming to win and two guys refusing to go home with a loss.

 

 

 

I know that Victor is going to be up in my face and that’s exactly my style and how I like to fight. It’s got all the makings of an all-action brawl.

 

 

 

In this business we have to fight people we know very well. This is how we feed our families so we take it extremely seriously. I know we’re both going to be prepared and the best man will win.

 

 

 

Every time I get into the ring it’s a war. My way of boxing has always been to fight the toughest guys and Victor is certainly no slouch. E un luptător extraordinar. He’s explosive and it’s going to make it a great fight.

 

 

 

In a fight like this you’re going to have fireworks. Victor is a big, strong guy who’s coming to win. He wants to get back to the mountain top. But there’s no quit in me. That’s the intrigue for this fight. Can I out will him? We’ll find out on September 30.

 

 

 

Every fight that I’ve had, has been my biggest fight. Everyone knows that I leave everything in the ring. Every fighter says that, but if you’ve ever watched my fights you know it’s the truth. It’s going be the same thing on September 30.

 

JOE JOYCE, Unbeaten Heavyweight Prospect

 

 

 

I have a plan, and a goal to get where I want to be to win a world title. I’ve settled into Big Bear to train and it’s like my second home. I’m looking forward to making my U.S. debut on September 30.

 

 

 

I’m going to show the American fans my style and put on a really good show and a strong performance. Stay tuned and watch my progression here in the U.S., because I’m going to be heavyweight champion of the world.

 

 

 

I’ve looked at Kiladze’s record and he has a good knockout percentage and he has a lot of good experience. He’s a strong guy but I’m just going to have to look a little more closely and work out his strengths and weaknesses and capitalize on that.

 

 

 

I have a lot of really good sparring up in Big Bear for the next couple weeks and it’s going to get me ready for September 30. It’s a different structure and tempo in Big Bear than it was in the UK. It took a bit of time to adjust but now I feel comfortable and I feel like I fit into the group of boxers we have there. I see myself progressing and getting even stronger.

 

IAGO KILADZE, Heavyweight fighting out of Los Angeles

 

 

I have a very good and strong opponent but I am in great shape and I’ve had an incredible training camp. I’m ready to go and I know I’m going to come out with the victory.

 

 

 

Los Angeles is my adopted home and I love being able to fight here with those close to me watching. It’s going to give me more motivation to win this fight and help once fight week comes.

 

 

 

I don’t worry too much about what my opponent has accomplished but I am mostly preparing myself to be my best. My team will have a great plan to guide me to this win on September 30.

 

KARLOS BALDERAS, Unbeaten Super Lightweight Prospect

 

 

 

I’m really focused right now on finishing 2018 strong so I can pick it right back up in 2019. I’m going to continue to take my time and move forward, but I have my eye on a world title. My brother Jose Balderas will also be on the card, so we’re looking to both put on a show for everyone watching.

 

 

 

I’ve been getting better at controlling my emotions in the ring. Me and my brother get mentally prepared in camp so that when we get to the fight, it’s really just another day.

 

 

 

We’re just going to continue working and growing and building up our fan base step-by-step. We might start fighting on different cards down the road, but for now we enjoy fighting on the same night.

 

 

 

I don’t think it will be too long until I start moving my up the cards until eventually I’m the main event. I want to close this year strong so that in 2019 I’m in a position to get even closer to a title shot.

 

RICHARD SCHAEFER, Preşedinte & CEO al Ringstar Sport

 

 

 

This fight between Victor Ortiz and John Molina Jr. is a great cherry on top to a great month for the sport of boxing. This is an all-action brawl that will be toe-to-toe. That’s what the fight fans want to see and that’s what we are going to get.

 

 

 

This card is absolutely loaded. It is full of young talent and experienced fighters who are sure to put on a great night of action for the fans at Citizens Business Bank Arena.

 

 

 

I know that Karlos Balderas and Joe Joyce are fired up to have this chance to perform on this platform and I believe the fans are going to be in for a real treat. For Joe it’s a debut in the U.S. that gives him a chance to make a big first impression. Both of these guys are absolutely ready to step into the spotlight.

Ortiz (32-6-3, 25 KO) is an all-action boxer-puncher who comes to fight and is always in exciting battles. The 31-year-old southpaw has one of the best resumes of anyone in the welterweight division having been in against Floyd Mayweather, Andre Berto twice, Lamont Peterson, Luis Collazo and Marcos Maidana. Ortiz, who was born in Garden City, Kansas and now lives in Ventura, California, is coming off a majority draw against Devon Alexander in February.

 

 

 

We’ve known each other a long time and we’re both always in exciting battles, so fans should expect nothing less on September 30,” a spus Ortiz. “I had a broken eye socket from an injury in the second round of the Alexander fight, but I’m feeling 100 percent now.

Molina (30-7, 24 KO) has never backed down from a challenge and has been in the ring with some of the best boxers from lightweight to welterweight during his career.

Another standout battle from Molina’s career saw him drop former welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse twice before losing on an 11th round knockout. In his last fight he scored a fourth round TKO victory over Ivan Redkach in a back-and-forth bout from December on FS1.

 

 

 

I respect Victor and everything he’s accomplished in this game, but I know that I have the tools to overcome everything he does,” Said Molina. “Everyone knows that I’m in it to win it. We’re both going to be ready to mix it up and throw bombs. There is no way that I see this fight going the distance. It’s going to come down to heart and I’m going to be there until final bell.

 

 

 

Victor Ortiz vs. John Molina Jr. has war written all over it and should be another in a long line of memorable battles featuring these Southern California fan-favorites,” said Richard Schaefer, Chairman and CEO of Ringstar Sports. “These two men are known for leaving it all in the ring and giving the fans incredible action from the opening bell.

We’re excited to bring this matchup, plus a jam-packed undercard, to the fans in Ontario and watching live on FS1 and FOX Deportes.

 

 

 

This is a true crossroads battle between two hardnosed veterans who have fought almost every welterweight of note in the last decade,” spuse Tom Brown, Președintele TGB Promoții. “The one thing you can be certain of when you get Victor Ortiz and John Molina Jr. in the ring is that a fight will break out. This match should be highly entertaining for the fans at Citizens Business Bank Arena and those who tune in on FS1 and FOX Deportes on September 30.

LOS ANGELES (Iulie 28, 2018) – Mikey Garcia a devenit 10lea campion la categoria ușoară pentru a unifica divizia printr-o decizie unanimă împotriva lui Robert Easter Jr. Sâmbătă la SHOWTIME, și imediat după aceea și-a pus ochii pe cele mai bune din box, și anume Errol Spence Jr.

Repere complete ale luptei aici: https://s.sho.com/2LzlnJ6

 

 

 

 

Toți cei trei judecători au marcat lupta în favoarea lui Garcia,118-109, 117-110, 116-111, într-o luptă electrizantă în faţa 12,560 fanii de la Staples Center într-un eveniment prezentat de Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

 

Campionul mondial în patru divizii Garcia (39-0, 30 KO) – care a luptat în California de Sud natală pentru prima dată în șapte ani – își păstrează titlul WBC de 135 de lire., și pretinde, de asemenea, centura ușoară IBF de Paște

 

 

 

 

„Sunt aici pentru cele mai mari provocări,” a spus Garcia, 30, care a unificat un titlu pentru prima dată în carieră. „Nu știu dacă există cineva care să fie o provocare mai mare decât Errol Spence. Știu că este pregătit să lupte cu toată lumea, așa că hai să facem asta. Cred că se poate face. Cred că aceasta este următoarea mare luptă care urmează.

 

 

 

 

„Simt că am puterea și abilitățile de a concura în orice divizie până la greutatea welter. Este cel mai dur tip la welter, așa că vreau să-l înfrunt.”

 

 

 

 

Garcia a înscris un knock-down în runda a treia împotriva Paștelui (21-1, 14 KO) de Toledo, Ohio, care a fost trimis pe pânză doar pentru a doua oară în carieră. O lovitură puternică la dreapta l-a scos pe Paște din poziție, urmat imediat de un cârlig de stânga devastator trimis Paștele jos cu 24 secunde rămase în rundă.

 

 

 

 

Garcia s-a îmbunătățit pe măsură ce lupta a progresat. În ultimele patru runde, Garcia a depășit Paștele 95-34 în pumni totale și a încheiat lupta fiind aruncarea luptătorului mai activă 555 pumni la Paște 507. S-a conectat aproape 40 la sută din loviturile sale de putere în timp ce Paștele a aterizat la a 24 clip la sută.

 

 

 

 

„Este o mare realizare să fii aici în L.A.”, a spus Garcia. „Am controlat cea mai mare parte a luptei, și am făcut ce trebuia să fac. Știam că este un adversar dur. Este un războinic dur. A dat o luptă grozavă, dar eu am fost un luptător mai bun. Eram în controlul luptei și am făcut ce trebuia să fac pentru a câștiga.”

 

 

 

 

Paști, care a intrat în vestiarul Garcia după lupta pentru a-și felicita adversarul, a fost grațios în înfrângere.

 

 

 

 

„De câte ori pășim în ring, amândoi ne punem viața în pericol și în seara asta Mikey a fost învingător.,” a spus Paștele, care a intrat în luptă ca cel mai lung campion în domnie la 135 de lire sterline. „Nu am reușit să găsesc momentul și nu mi-am putut lăsa mâna dreaptă să plece. M-a prins cu o lovitură curată și am coborât, dar m-am ridicat ca un adevărat campion”.

 

 

 

 

 

În timpul unui interviu la biroul gazdei SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, Spence, un tovarăș de top-5 liră pentru liră grozav, a spus că va „cu siguranță” binevenit o luptă cu Garcia. „Simt că aceasta este cea mai bună luptă disponibilă pentru mine în acest moment cu Shawn [Uzură] și Danny [Garcia] lupta în septembrie. Keith Thurman încă se recuperează și are nevoie de o perfecționare.

Interviul complet aici: https://s.sho.com/2veXH1T.

 

 

 

 

„Îndrăznește să fie grozav, vrea să fie grozav, vrea să urce și să mă detroneze și nu se va întâmpla. Cu siguranță va fi o luptă ușoară. [Garcia] va fi liră pentru liră nr. 1 dacă mă bate. Are abilități grozave, dar mă văd câștigând. Nu văd cu adevărat nimic care să mă preocupe. El este bun din punct de vedere tehnic, dar nu-l văd că mă rănește la 147.”

 

 

 

 

Soliscul grea Luis Ortiz (29-1, 25 KO) a revenit pe ring cu o victorie răsunătoare, înscriind un KO devastator din turul al doilea (2:08) al fostului rival la titlul mondial Razvan Cojanu (16-4, 9 KO)

 

 

 

 

Ortiz a aterizat 42 sută de fotografii sale de putere (opt din 19) în timp ce Cojanu a aterizat doar două din 13 (15%) în lupta scurtă.

 

 

 

 

Ortiz a fost emotionat dupa lupta. El i-a spus lui Jim Gray de la SHOWTIME că în urmă cu doar cinci zile a aflat că medicii au găsit un remediu pentru epidermoliza buloasă., o boală de care suferă fiica lui.

 

 

 

 

„Mulțumită lui Dumnezeu, au găsit un leac pentru boala fiicei mele,” a spus Ortiz. „Soția mea mi-a spus în timp ce mă urcam în avion să ajung aici. Mi-a fost greu să fii departe de ei. Sunt fericit că am câștigat, dar a fost foarte greu să fii departe de ei.”

 

 

 

 

 

Ambii luptători aveau pierderi în lupte pentru titlul mondial la categoria grea. Ortiz lupta pentru prima dată de când l-a provocat pe Deontay Wilder într-o 2018 Lupta a candidatului Anului. Ortiz de 6 picioare și 4 metri a pierdut puțin timp învingându-l pe cei de 6 picioare și 7½, 269-pound Cojanu, revenind pentru prima sa luptă de la provocarea pe atunci campionul WBO la categoria grea Joseph Parker.

 

 

 

 

 

„În mintea mea, King Kong nu a fost învins. Nu simt că am pierdut împotriva lui Deontay Wilder. vreau să lupt [Anthony] Joshua, dar se luptă doar cu boxerii pe care este sigur că îi poate învinge. O să cer guvernului să mă pună pe dizabilități, poate așa se va lupta Joshua cu mine.”

 

 

 

 

În deschizătorul de programe de televiziune, Mario Barrios (22-0, 14 KO) a rămas neînvins, înregistrând a șasea oprire consecutivă cu un TKO în runda a opta a lui Jose Roman (24-3-1, 14 KO) într-un meci programat de 10 runde la categoria welter. Fiecare dintre judecători, precum și marcatorul expert SHOWTIME Steve Farhood, a marcat lupta 80-70 în favoarea lui Barrios în momentul opririi, deoarece colțul lui Roman nu a răspuns la soneria pentru runda a noua.

 

 

 

 

Barrios din San Antonio s-au bazat pe munca eficientă a corpului pentru a domina lupta, conectarea la 61 sale 133 fotografii ale corpului. S-a conectat mai departe 44 la sută din pumni sale de putere (104/239) comparativ cu 26 la sută pentru Roman (34/132), care a avut doar cinci împușcături corporale în noapte.

 

 

 

 

"[Munca corpului] este ceva la care am reușit să lucrez,” i-a spus Barrios lui Gray în ring. „Ai pus munca la corp devreme și până la sfârșitul luptei nu mai au nimic. Asta a funcționat perfect pentru această luptă. Acesta a fost cel mai departe pe care am mers de mult timp. A fost o muncă grozavă și simt că trec la luptătorul pe care l-am crezut mereu că sunt.”

 

 

 

 

Cartiere, care a suferit o tăietură deasupra ochiului stâng în primul tur, trimis pe Roman pe pânză la 1:15 din runda a patra cu o dreapta puternică care l-a năucit pe Roman, apoi un cârlig de stânga care l-a dat jos pe Roman pentru a șaptea oară în carieră. Barrios a încheiat runda cu o rafală de pumni care l-au lăsat uluit pe Roman.

 

 

 

 

 

Barrios, în vârstă de 23 de ani, l-a trimis din nou pe Roman 1:38 rămânând în runda a opta. Roman a supraviețuit rundei, dar colţul lui a refuzat să răspundă la sonerie şi lupta s-a încheiat.

 

 

 

 

„Simt că sunt pregătit [pentru o lovitură de titlu)],” a spus Barrios. „Mă simt puternic. Mă simt repede. Sunt tineri, dar orice îmi aruncă managerii mei, sunt gata. Dacă l-aș putea primi mâine, Aș lua-o.”

 

 

 

 

 

A fost o noapte plină de stele la Staples, când actualii și foștii campioni mondiali au participat la lupte, inclusiv Jarrett Hurd, Errol Spence Jr., Leo Santa Cruz, Abner Mares, Gervonta Davis și Adrien Broner.

 

 

 

 

 

Shawn Porter a fost și el la prezență. Recent a fost anunțat că Porter și fostul deținător al titlului mondial de 147 de lire, Danny Garcia, se vor lupta unul împotriva celuilalt pentru Campionatul Mondial WBC vacant la categoria welter în direct la SHOWTIME sâmbătă., Șapte. 8 de la Barclays Center din Brooklyn, N.Y..

 

 

 

 

„Sunt doar un alt tip de atlet,” i-a spus Porter lui Brian Custer de la SHOWTIME. „Când vorbești despre a avea instrumentele necesare pentru a deveni de două ori campion mondial; Am instrumentele, atletismul, tenacitatea generalitatea ringului. Veți vedea toate acestea în septembrie. 8.

 

 

 

 

 

„Întotdeauna spunem că afacerea trebuie să aibă sens [a face lupte], Și mi se pare că afacerea și-a jucat rolul. Câștig campionatul WBC și îl vei primi pe Shawn Porter vs. Errol Spence.”

 

 

 

 

 

Acoperire în streaming a luptelor live undercard pe SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN, neînvins prospect super-ușor Fabian Maidana (16-0, 12 KO), fratele fostului campion Marcos Maidana, a înregistrat o oprire în runda a șaptea (2:32) împotriva fostului rival la titlul mondial Andrey Klimov (19-5, 9 KO).
