Winners Set To Meet In Unification Bout
Later This Year On SHOWTIME
ಈಗ ಮಾರಾಟಕ್ಕೆ ಟಿಕೆಟ್
ನ್ಯೂಯಾರ್ಕ್ (ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 28, 2016)- A three-fight series to crown a unified divisional champion will begin on ಶನಿವಾರ, ಏಪ್ರಿಲ್ 30, when WBC 168-pound champion Badou ಜ್ಯಾಕ್ defends his title against former longtime titlist ಲೂಸಿಯನ್ Bute, and IBF Champion ಜೇಮ್ಸ್ DeGale risks his belt against mandated challenger Rogelio Medina ಒಂದು ಷೋಟೈಮ್ ಚಾಂಪಿಯನ್ಷಿಪ್ ಬಾಕ್ಸಿಂಗ್ doubleheader live onಷೋಟೈಮ್ (10 p.m. ಮತ್ತು/7 p.m. ಪಿಟಿ) ರಿಂದ DC Armory ವಾಶಿಂಗ್ಟನ್ ಡಿ.ಸಿ.ಯಲ್ಲಿರುವ.
The winners will meet in a super middleweight world-title unification fight later this year.
ಜ್ಯಾಕ್ (20-1-1, 12 ಕಾಸ್) will make his second title defense after a breakthrough 2015 campaign in which he won the WBC belt from ಆಂಟನಿ Dirrell and successfully defended against ಜಾರ್ಜ್ ಗ್ರೋವ್ಸ್. The southpaw Bute (32-3, 25 ಕಾಸ್), a former IBF champion with nine defenses between 2007 ಮತ್ತು 2012, revived his career last November with a gutsy and inspired performance against DeGale.
“I’ve been training really hard for this fight and I’m excited to get in the ring,” ಜ್ಯಾಕ್ ಹೇಳಿದರು. “I can’t wait to defend my title once again on ಏಪ್ರಿಲ್ 30. The fans can expect to see an explosive and skillful performance from me come fight night. I believe I’m the best super middleweight in the world and that I have the skills to beat anyone I get in the ring with. I’m fully focused on Lucian Bute, but I know that a win can set up a massive fight against James DeGale and I’m going to deliver.”
“I’m thrilled to have this tremendous opportunity,” ಸೆಡ್ ಬ್ಯುಟ್. “I was ringside for Badou Jack’s last two fights — well deserved world title wins. He is a great champion. I plan to train hard and be in the best shape of my career on ಏಪ್ರಿಲ್ 30. It’s my chance to win the WBC belt and become two-time world champion. I will win and give boxing fans a spectacular fight.”
DeGale (22-1, 14 ಕಾಸ್) will make his second title defense after an impressive 2015 in which he defeated Andre Dirrell to win the vacant IBF belt and topped Bute in a Fight of the Year candidate. The hard-hitting Medina (35-6, 29 ಕಾಸ್), the IBF’s mandatory challenger, has knocked out three consecutive opponents.
“I am delighted to be defending my world title on another great show in the United States,” said DeGale. “I won my belt in style in Boston and I’m looking forward to moving down the East Coast to the great city of Washington, ಡಿಸಿ. It’s going to be a defining night in the super middleweight division as Badou Jack and myself look to set up a huge fight later in the year. I’m fully focused on Rogelio Medina. He’s a tough Mexican who earned his title shot. ಆದರೆ ನನ್ನ ನಂಬಿ, no one is getting my world title.”
“This is such a great opportunity for me and I can’t wait to get in the ring,” said Medina. “I’ve worked so hard for this and I am going to make the most of it. Everyone who has seen me fight knows I leave it all in the ring and you can expect to see an all-out battle on ಏಪ್ರಿಲ್ 30. ನಾನು ಹೊಸ ವಿಶ್ವ ಚಾಂಪಿಯನ್ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ.”

“Mayweather Promotions is proud to bring another exciting night of boxing to the great boxing fans in my hometown of Washington, D.C.,” ಸೆಡ್ ಲಿಯೊನಾರ್ಡ್ Ellerbe, ಮೇವೆದರ್ ಪ್ರಚಾರಗಳು ಸಿಇಒ. “I’m really excited about the Badou Jack vs. Lucian Bute fight. ಇದು ಒಂದು ದೊಡ್ಡ ಹೋರಾಟ ಎಂದು ವಿಶೇಷವೇನು. We know Bute is tough as nails and he’s coming to take the title away from Badou. Badou is going to have to be at his best to be able to beat Bute that night. The winner of that fight will set up a spectacular unification fight with the winner of the fight between British champion James DeGale and Mexican brawler ‘Porky’ Medina. DeGale can’t take Medina lightly if he wants the unification bout. It’s going to be a thrilling night of action at the DC Armory and on SHOWTIME.”
Badou ಜ್ಯಾಕ್ “ರಿಪ್ಪರ್”, of Las Vegas by way of Stockholm, ಸ್ವೀಡನ್, captured the WBC 168-pound crown with a 12-round majority decision over previously unbeaten defending champion Anthony Dirrelllast ಏಪ್ರಿಲ್ 24. A former amateur standout who represented Gambia in the 2008 ಒಲಿಂಪಿಕ್ಸ್, Jack retained his belt against former world title challenger George Groves last ಏಳು. 12 on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s final fight. ಜ್ಯಾಕ್, who fights under the Mayweather Promotions banner, was an underdog against both Dirrell and Groves. 6 ಅಡಿ 1, 32-year-old has won four in a row since a shocking first-round knockout loss to Derek Edwards in February 2014.
ಬ್ಯುಟ್, ಮಾಂಟ್ರಿಯಲ್, Canada by way of Romania, has been a super middleweight mainstay for the last decade. He has competed in 12 title fights since 2007, scoring seven knockouts in nine consecutive defenses of the IBF belt he won in 2007 in his adopted hometown of Montreal. During his title reign, the 36-year-old defeated the likes of Glen Johnson, Librado Andrade and Jean-Paul Mendy, but he lost the belt to Carl Froch in 2012 and a string of injuries kept him largely inactive over the next three years. Bute returned from a 19-month absence in August 2015 under new trainer Howard Grant, knocking out Andrea Di Luisa to set up the title shot against DeGale for the crown he once held. Bute stalked the switch-hitting DeGale with a relentless attack, turning in his most impressive performance in years in a close decision loss.
ಜೇಮ್ಸ್ “Chunky” DeGale, ಲಂಡನ್, ಇಂಗ್ಲೆಂಡ್, won the vacant IBF belt in his U.S. debut last May by dropping Andre Dirrell twice on his way to a unanimous decision. ದಿ 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist then successfully defended it last November in a thrilling shootout with hometown favorite and former titlist Lucian Bute. The 30-year-old, who’s only blemish came in a majority decision in his 11ನೇ bout against then-unbeaten George Groves, will make his third consecutive start outside his native England as he looks to become a global power at 168 ಪೌಂಡ್.
Rogelio “Porky” Medina is a hard-hitting veteran with 30 ರಲ್ಲಿ ನಾಕ್ಔಟ್ಗಳಿಗೆ ತನ್ನ 36 career wins. He’s knocked out three consecutive opponents, including a shocking third-round knockout of then-undefeated J’Leon Love in August, 2014. Medina, 27, has suffered six losses in 42 ಪಂದ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ, although those defeats came against opponents with a combined record of 187-16-3, including four previously undefeated fighters.

HIDALGO, TEXAS (ಮೇ 9, 2015) – ಒಮರ್ “Panterita” ಫಿಗುಯೆರಾ (25-0-1, 18 ಕಾಸ್) remained undefeated as he put on an exciting show in front of a raucous hometown crowd and earned a unanimous decision over ರಿಕಿ ಬರ್ನ್ಸ್ (37-5-1, 11 ಕಾಸ್) on Premier Boxing Champions on CBS live from State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, ಟೆಕ್ಸಾಸ್.

 

Figueroa was the sharper fighter who landed harder punches and was able to dictate the pace of the fight. Burns was deducted a point in both the eighth and 11ನೇ rounds by the referee for excessive holding. “Panterita” ಅಂಕಗಳು ಜಯ ಸಾಧಿಸಿದೆ 116-110 ಎರಡು ಬಾರಿ ಮತ್ತು 117-109.

 

In the first televised fight of the afternoon, British star ಜೇಮೀ ಮೆಕ್ಡೊನೆಲ್ (25-2-1, 12 ಕಾಸ್) earned a narrow but unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Tomoki “Mexicanito” Kameda (31-1, 19 ಕಾಸ್). McDonnell was knocked down for the first time in his career by a sharp right hand from Kameda in round three but quickly recovered to win by a score of 114-113 ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಮೂರು ನ್ಯಾಯಾಧೀಶರ ಮೇಲೆ’ ಕಾರ್ಡ್.

 

Here are what the fighters had to say after their bouts:

 

OMAR ಫಿಗುಯೆರಾ

 

“Fighting a fight like that, it takes a lot to go even four rounds, much less 12. With a fighter like that, leaning on you and using his weight on you it’s tough. I’m just glad I was in shape and didn’t let my fans down.

 

“I’m a very offensive fighter, so the holding kind of slowed me down. I tried to do what I could and, thankfully, the judges saw that.

 

“My hands are a little sore, but I really did hold back on my punches, especially because he has one of those European guards where he holds his hands up high and his elbows are exposed. I had to be careful going to the body because that’s how I hurt my hands most times, from hitting the elbows. I felt ridiculously strong at the new weight, but I didn’t think my hands would hold up, so I was holding back and trying to win the fight on points and if I could hurt him I would try to stop him.

 

“He was punching me behind the head, so I felt like I had to do the same. If you want to play like that, I can play that game.

 

“At the end of the fight, he came with a good body shot that hurt me a bit. That’s why I slowed down at the end. I have to give it to Ricky. ಅವರೊಬ್ಬ ಕಠಿಣ ಹೋರಾಟಗಾರ.

 

“It’s time to rest up. I’ve been training since the beginning of the year and I deserve a little rest.”

 

RICKY BURNS

 

“We knew it was going to be a tough fight, but I didn’t agree with the deductions for holding. I thought he was holding as much as me and that’s why I had to tie him up.

 

“We moved up in weight for this one but still had some trouble making weight, but I didn’t want to jeopardize my chance to fight in America.

 

“I think it was his size that gave me problems more than anything. I don’t know what weight he was in that ring, but it was a lot bigger than me.

 

“The plan was to try to stick to boxing for the first half of the fight, but once the size really took over I had to stand and exchange more than I would have liked. I couldn’t get him off of me. I’ve got no excuses, as I said the best man will win.

 

“I always leave everything in the ring and that’s all I can do. I hope everyone who watched enjoyed the fight.

 

“We’ve enjoyed the experience of being in the U.S., obviously the decision didn’t go our way which puts a damper on it, but overall everyone here in Texas has been great. I want to say a big thank you to everybody. I hope to back again.”

 

ಜೇಮೀ ಮೆಕ್ಡೊನೆಲ್

 

“I felt in control all the way through. It was a great performance. I know I should have just boxed but I wanted to fight.

 

“I didn’t think I was going to get the decision being abroad, but it’s more than spectacular to come out of here victorious. He’s a great, ಗೆಲುವಿನ ಚಾಂಪಿಯನ್.

 

“His speed surprised me on the knockdown. I knew he was going to be fast, but I didn’t expect it like that. I didn’t see the shot and next thing I knew I was on the floor.

 

“Hit and move, hit and move, that was the strategy. I remember being in there and thinking, ‘Man, this isn’t easy.’ I knew the crowd was going to go his way but it was a great experience.

 

“It’s been a fantastic time being here in America. I’d like to see some familiar faces but it’s a new experience. I was up against it but I knew I could pull it off. I knew deep inside that I could do it.

 

“I think I’m going to move up in weight. I want to catch the big fights before they’re gone.”

 

Tomoki KAMEDA

 

“I think I won the fight. I did enough to win. He did a lot to win the last rounds, but I did more over the fight. I don’t agree with the judges decision, but I respect it.

 

“I knew he would get up after the knockdown because he’s a world champion. He’s a great fighter and I take my hat off to him, but I won the fight.

 

“ನಾನು ಮರುಪಂದ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಯಸುವ.”

HIDALGO, TEXAS (ಮೇ 7, 2015) – Fight week for ಪ್ರೀಮಿಯರ್ ಬಾಕ್ಸಿಂಗ್ ಚಾಂಪಿಯನ್ ಮೇಲೆ ಸಿಬಿಎಸ್ continued Thursday as televised fighters ಒಮರ್ “Panterita” ಫಿಗುಯೆರಾ, ರಿಕಿ ಬರ್ನ್ಸ್, Tomoki “Mexicanito” Kameda, ಜೇಮೀ ಮೆಕ್ಡೊನೆಲ್ಮತ್ತು ಆಸ್ಟಿನ್ “ನಿಸ್ಸಂದೇಹವಾಗಿ” ಟ್ರೌಟ್ spoke to the media at the final press conference before their respective bouts taking placeಶನಿವಾರ, ಮೇ 9 ಸ್ಟೇಟ್ ಫಾರ್ಮ್ ಅರೆನಾದಲ್ಲಿ.

 

Here are what the participants had to say Thursday:

 

OMAR ಫಿಗುಯೆರಾ

 

“This is the biggest fight of my career thus far. I have my brother on the undercard and it’s here at home. ಈ ಇದೆ. I think it’s great for people from the Valley to get a huge card like this here. They haven’t seen this since Vasquez vs. Marquez, so I hope to bring that level of boxing back to the Valley.

 

“I definitely feel more pressure but the good kind of pressure. I’ve thrived on pressure my whole life. I was a pitcher for a long time. I was a closer. So I’ve been in situations where it’s bases loaded and we’re down so many runs and I’ve got to keep the game close. ನಾನು ವಾಸಿಸುವ ಏನು.

 

“I haven’t seen any film of Ricky Burns. Haven’t watched him at all. But from what I’ve heard he’s a tough fighter in great shape, so if we go 12 rounds it’ll be a good 12 ಸುತ್ತುಗಳ. I’m going to go out there and give it my all and win in the most impressive way possible.

 

“It wasn’t difficult to give up my title. I don’t fight for titles. I don’t care for titles. I think they’re just aesthetic things. I’d rather please the fans with a good fight. I don’t care if I win a title at the end of the day, but if the fans are happy, I am happy.

 

“I’m going to be a lot stronger at this new weight. I don’t know what to expect. I’m excited to get in the ring and find out.”

 

RICKY BURNS

 

“When you’re in hard fights, that’s what brings out the best of you. I’m looking forward to getting in the ring and putting on a good performance and win some fans over here.

 

“It’s a very tough fight and we knew that before we took it. Figueroa likes to come forward and be aggressive, but that can be his downside because he takes a lot of shots. We’re prepared for whatever happens on fight night and the best man will win.

 

“Some people think I’ve come over here just to be an opponent but that’s not the case. I had a bad year but it’s all behind me. I’m going to get back to my winning ways.

 

“This is everything I’ve ever wanted to accomplish in boxing. It’s going to be a hard fight but by the time the fight comes it will be just about four weeks that I’ve been in Texas.

 

“I treat boxing as my job, when it comes to training and fighting I always give it 100 percent and leave it all in the ring and hopefully the fans will see that. Omar is never in a dull fight and I’m not one to back out.

 

“We’ve treated this fight exactly the same as any other. Even though we’re in his hometown, as soon as that first bell goes that’s when it’s going to count. It’s just me and him in that ring.”

 

Tomoki KAMEDA

 

“It is a dream come true to fight on a network like CBS. Millions are now going to get to know me, get to know my style. Boxing is changing and to be part of that is a great honor to me.

“It was not easy to relinquish my world title — I was the first Japanese to hold that title. It’s never easy to give up something that you’ve worked so hard for. But I respect the sanctioning body’s decision, they said I had to relinquish it and so I did. ಈಗ, I’m going for another title, and after that maybe unification.

“McDonnell is a good boxer. He knows how to box and knows his way inside the ring. Most British fighters do that, move around a lot. Its not an easy style to face, but my team and I have a great strategy and we are going to win, we are going to win by knockout.

“I love Mexico. I moved there when I was 15 with my family. I did all of my amateur and all my professional career there. I’m grateful to Mexico and all Mexicans for giving me so much.

“My team and the guys at the gym started calling me ‘El Mexicanito’ because I embrace Mexican culture as my own. I love the food, the people and of course the Spanish language. I struggle with it at first, but now I think I got it mastered.”

 

ಜೇಮೀ ಮೆಕ್ಡೊನೆಲ್

 

“I think Kameda is a bit scared and a bit intimidated by my size. I genuinely believe I am going to knock him out. I’m too big and too strong.

 

“I’ve been a world champion for a couple of years now. I’m ultra-confident for this fight. It’s the best I’ve ever felt. ನಾನು ಇದು ಮುಂದೆ ಹುಡುಕುತ್ತಿರುವ ಬಾಗುತ್ತೇನೆ.

 

“Kameda is a good fighter and I expect the very best from him. He better expect the very best from me. This is life changing, whoever wins this fight gets propelled up a few levels.

 

“I want the best life possible for my wife and baby daughter. To do that I have to beat him.

 

“My losses were six years ago and I didn’t even really believe in myself at that time. I’ve gone through every experience that you can in that time and I bring everything to the table.

 

“Fans can expect to see a lot of heart. I can take a punch, I can give a punch. It’s an interesting fight and it’s a chance for me to showcase what I’m all about on this great stage here in America.”

 

AUSTIN TROUT

 

“As far as my opponent dropping out at the last minute, disappointment is kind of an understatement. But I’m trying to keep it classy, so I’ll stick with disappointed. I’m not surprised though.

 

“The day I heard that he pulled out it definitely changed my mindset, but I had to find that focus and realize that we still have work to do.

 

“It’s an honor to be part of this whole PBC on CBS card. I feel like this is the resurgence of boxing – brining it back to the golden days. For me to be a part of that was one of my goals when I turned pro. I wanted to be a part of the comeback of boxing.

 

“I’m trying to get a belt. I want my world title back. After I get a world title I’m going to try and avenge those losses. After I avenge those losses I want another title so I can become an undisputed champion. Once that’s done we can consider moving up to another weight class maybe.”
