Uncasville, Conn. - maart 13, 2021 - Voormalig tweevoudig wereldkampioen David Benavidez hield zijn perfecte ringrecord intact met een 11th-ronde technische knock-out overwinning tegen veteraan Ronald Ellis in hun WBC Super Middleweight Title Eliminator main event op de uitzending van SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING op zaterdagavond, live op SHOWTIME van Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., in een Premier Boxing Champions-evenement.

Phoenix's Benavidez (24-0, 21 KO) flitste briljante handsnelheid, nauwkeurigheid en kracht terwijl hij Ellis domineerde (18-2-2, 12 KO) van Lynn, Massa., over 11 rondes voordat scheidsrechter Johnny Callas eindelijk het gevecht afzwaaide 2:03 van de voorlaatste ronde. De 24-jarige ster had een aanzienlijke voorsprong op alle drie de scorekaarten (99-91, 98-92 x2) op het moment van de stopzetting.

“Ik beoordeel mijn prestatie redelijk goed, maar ik weet dat ik het beter had kunnen doen,”Zei Benavidez, die zijn perfecte staat van dienst uitbreidde naar 24-0. “Ronald Ellis is een lastige concurrent. Ik hoop alleen dat de fans het leuk vinden wat ze zagen. Ik gooide veel combinaties, stoten in trossen. Ik dacht vaak dat Ellis zou stoppen, maar dat deed hij niet. Petje af voor hem, hij is een stoere vent. Het was iets later dan ik wilde, maar een onderbreking is nog steeds een onderbreking. Ik hoop dat de fans vanavond een goede show hebben gekregen. "

Een wonderkind boksen werd de jongste wereldkampioen super middengewicht in de boksgeschiedenis, Benavidez leverde een meesterlijke prestatie, zoals blijkt uit zijn punch-statistieken, landing 289 van 532 krachtige stoten gegooid voor een oogverblindende verbindingssnelheid van 54%. Benavidez heeft verbinding gemaakt 50 stoten in de 11th ronde die uiteindelijk leidde tot de staking. Beide vechters gecombineerd om te gooien 1,403 stoten. Na zijn dominante overwinning op SHOWTIME, Benavidez is een stap dichter bij het terugwinnen van een super middengewicht wereldtitel.

'Ik wil alle grote jongens,”Voegde Benavidez eraan toe. 'Ik spreek ook voor de fans, ze zouden me graag zien tegen alle grote jongens, want zoals je kunt zien, Ik hou van stoten. Ik hou ervan mensen te stoppen, dus ik zou tegen een grote naam een ​​geweldig gevecht zijn. Ik wil [Jermall] Charlo, Canelo Alvarez, Caleb Plant, allemaal."

Ellis, 31, toonde enorme vastberadenheid en een zeer stevige kin terwijl hij de constante aanval van de voormalige tweevoudige wereldkampioen absorbeerde. Vaak aan het werk terwijl Benavidez op de actie drukte, Ellis is geland 89 zijn 334 jabs.

'Ik had de prik kunnen laten knallen en de dingen een beetje meer kunnen beheersen en me niet door hem laten smoren,”Zei Ellis. "Hell yeah, ik wilde het afmaken. Ik wilde hem die voldoening niet schenken. Ik had een beetje meer kunnen bewegen en niet zoveel schoten op het hoofd kunnen maken. Petje af voor hem. Hij deed wat hij moest doen. Hij me nooit kwaad, dat is het grappige. Ik heb veel foto's gemaakt, maar hij heeft me geen schade berokkend of super gekwetst. Ik heb er nooit aan gedacht om te stoppen. "

De sportwereld verloor vandaag een icoon toen de dood van Marvelous Marvin Hagler werd gemeld uren voordat de live uitzending begon. Een lid van de International Boxing Hall of Fame, Hagler, wie was 66 jaar oud, vochten in het eerste hoofdevenement ooit op SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in maart 10, 1986. Hagler werd geëerd met een ceremoniële 10-count voorafgaand aan het hoofdtoernooi van vanavond. Klik hier om SHOWTIME's eerbetoon aan Marvin Hagler te bekijken

Benavidez dacht na over het overlijden van Hagler na het gevecht: “Ik had Marvin al eens eerder ontmoet en hij was een groot kampioen. Iemand vertelde me dat hij het eerste gevecht op SHOWTIME vocht. Iemand van mijn team liet me een paar uur voor het gevecht weten dat hij voorbij was. Het is triest en hij zal worden gemist. Hij was een echte legende. "

In de co-main event, Isaac Cruz (21-1-1, 15 KO) van Mexico City behaalde een unanieme beslissing over de overwinning op Argentinië Matias Romero (24-1, 8 KO) in een WBA Lightweight Title Eliminator van 12 ronden. Het was de eerste keer dat de 22-jarige Cruz vertrok 12 rondes in zijn professionele carrière. De scorekaarten van de juryleden worden gelezen 114-113, 115-112 en 118-109. SHOWTIME's onofficiële scorer Steve Farhood scoorde het gevecht 115-112, rondes geven 10 door middel van 12 naar de rijzende ster.

"Ik ben niet blij met de stijl van het gevecht, maar ik ben tevreden dat ik de overwinning mee naar huis heb genomen en we zijn bij de. 1 plek in de WBA,"Zei Cruz. "Ik wist niet wat er ging gebeuren [voor zover de rechters]. We hebben het gevecht te allen tijde geforceerd en het zou voor de juryleden zeer onmogelijk zijn geweest om me iets aan te doen toen ik degene was die het gevecht aandreef. "

Gedurende de 36 minuten durende affaire, Cruz oefende constant druk uit op zijn tegenstander wat leidde tot Romero, de meer doorgewinterde professional, buitensporig vasthouden in een poging de druk af te remmen. Ondanks dat hij regelmatig werd gewaarschuwd door scheidsrechter Harvey Dock, de 24-jarige Romero werd nooit bestraft. Tijdens de ruige wedstrijd, echter, Cruz zat in de zesde ronde een punt vast voor een lage slag.

"Hij was een vechter die geen klappen wilde uitwisselen,'Voegde Cruz eraan toe, met betrekking tot de aanhoudende clinchen. 'Ik was de clinches erg beu - er was nooit een waarschuwing voor hem. Ik heb daar mijn best gedaan. Niet de beste manier waarop ik het wilde doen, maar godzijdank hebben we het gevecht gewonnen en nemen we de overwinning mee naar huis. "

Romero gaf gedurende het gevecht een effectieve prik, landing 89 van 282, maar het was Cruz 'krachtpons die hem uiteindelijk de overwinning opleverde. Kruis, wie is nu de Nee. 1 kanshebber voor een wereldtitel geschoten 135 pond, geland 145 van 459 macht stoten, inclusief 91 lichaamsschoten.

"Ik ben duidelijk niet blij met de beslissing,”Verklaarde Romero na zijn eerste professionele verlies. 'Ik dacht dat het misschien een gelijkspel was. Over het algemeen ben ik tevreden met mijn prestatie. Hij zou de ‘Pit Bull’ moeten zijn en ik ging het hele eind. Je moet de kansen grijpen wanneer ze worden aangeboden en ik wou dat ik meer tijd had gehad om me voor te bereiden op dit gevecht. "

In de openingswedstrijd van de avond, Cleveland's Terrell Gausha (22-2-1, 11 KO) scoorde een indrukwekkende technische knock-out in de tweede ronde op mede-Ohioan Jamontay Clark (15-2-1, 7 KO) van Cincinnati. Gausha, 33, landde geen enkele krachtige stoot in de openingsronde maar werkte goed achter de prik, het winnen van de ronde op twee van de scorekaarten van de juryleden. Toen de tweede ronde zijn voltooiing naderde, Gausha verzette zich prachtig tegen een uitval van de linkerhand van de linkshandige Clark die de 26-jarige voor het eerst in zijn professionele carrière naar het canvas stuurde.. Clark versloeg de graaf, maar werd even later opgevangen door een spervuur ​​van onbeantwoorde stoten in de neutrale hoek. Scheidsrechter Arthur Mercante sprong erin en stopte het gevecht bij 2:44 van de tweede ronde.

'Ik wist dat Jamontay een stoere jongen was, Ik kijk naar hem sinds Cleveland, dus ik wist al van hem,Zei Gausha. "Ik had het gevoel dat ik de kans had om hem knock-out te slaan, maar ik wist niet hoe het gevecht zou verlopen. Maar ik heb het gevoel dat ik het goed heb gedaan, voerde het spelplan uit. Mijn coaches hadden film gestudeerd en we executeerden.

'Ik heb gewoon mijn tijd genomen,”Voegde Gausha toe. 'Ik was vallen aan het zetten. Ik wist dat hij uiteindelijk open zou zijn, maar ik moest ook voorzichtig zijn, want hij is een slanke man, heeft een goede linkerhand. Maar ik wist dat er gaten in zijn spel zaten en we executeerden en wanneer de gelegenheid zich voordeed, we hebben die grote rechterhand geland. "

Met zijn nadrukkelijke onderbreking wint, de 2012 Olympian komt naar voren als een kanshebber voor een titelschot in de superweltergewichtdivisie. In zijn eerste en enige binnengeschoten wereldtitel 2017, Gausha liet een unanieme beslissing vallen aan de huidige wereldkampioen superweltergewicht Erislandy Lara.

'Ik weet dat ik vanavond een verklaring heb afgelegd,”Voegde Gausha toe. 'Ik heb de divisie op de hoogte gebracht. Ik ben op slot en geladen en ik ben er klaar voor. Ik wil wereldkampioen worden, dus ik ben op zoek om te vechten tegen wie ik moet vechten om bij de gordels te komen. "

Zaterdag Showtime Championship Boxing uitzending zal zondag opnieuw worden afgespeeld om 8:55 a.m. ET / PT op SHOWTIME en maandag om 10 p.m. ET op SHOWTIME EXTREME.

UNBEATEN INTERIM WBA SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION CHRIS COLBERT BATTLES HARD-HITTING JAIME ARBOLEDA LIVE ON SHOWTIME® SATURDAY, December 12 IN AN EVENT PRESENTED BY PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS

Laat een reactie achter

Middleweight Contenders Matt Korobov and Ronald Ellis Clash

in Co-Main Event; Rising Super Lightweight Prospect Richardson Hitchins Takes on Former World Champion Argenis Mendez in Telecast Opener

NEW YORK – November 20, 2020 – Two of the top fighters in the 130-pound division will meet when unbeaten interim WBA Super Featherweight ChampionChris “Primetime” Colbertfaces the hard-hittingJaime Arboledain het main event vanShowtime Boxing: SPECIALE EDITIE Zaterdag, December 12 bij 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., in een gebeurtenis die door Premier Boxing Champions.

The tripleheader, originally scheduled for November 28, will see middleweight contendersMatt KorobovenRonald Ellisbattle in the 10-round co-main event and rising super lightweight phenomRichardson Hitchinstaking on the toughest test of his young career as he faces former world championArgenis Mendezin a 10-round telecast opener. Het evenement wordt gepromoot door TGB Promotions en Sampson Boxing. Hitchins vs. Mendez is co-promoted by Mayweather Promotions.

Nordine Oubaali vs. Nonito Donaire was originally scheduled to take place on December 12 but was postponed after Oubaali tested positive for COVID-19.

“This main event on December 12 will pit two of the 130-pound division’s most exciting rising talents against each other as the sublimely skilled Chris Colbert faces the powerful Jaime Arboleda in a can’t-miss showdown,”Zei Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “The co-main event will see two middleweight contenders in Matt Korobov and Ronald Ellis looking to show that they’re among the division’s elite, while the SHOWTIME opener features the exciting prospect Richardson Hitchins against the always tough Argenis Mendez in a big step up fight. These are three evenly-matched bouts that should make for nonstop drama on fight night.”

Representing his native Brooklyn, N.Y., Colbert (14-0, 5 KO) has quickly shot up the 130-pound rankings, taking on high-level competition in his first 14 pro gevechten. The 24-year-old beat then-undefeated fighters Austin Dulay, Titus Williams and Antonio Dubose, all in his first eight fights as a professional. In 2019, Colbert added four more victories to his tally, including an explosive first-round knockout of veteran Miguel Beltran Jr. Meest recent, Colbert won his interim title by dropping former super featherweight champion Jezreel Corrales on his way to a unanimous decision in their January 2020 clash.

“I’m super excited to be making my big stage debut in the main event,” said Colbert. “It’s been a long camp, but training is going great. I’m looking to put on a dominant performance, and I’m looking for the knockout if it’s there. If I can get it, that would be splendid. I know Jaime is going to come to fight. He wants the belt as bad as I want to keep the belt. It’s all going to come down to stamina, ring IQ and who has the greater will to win. I feel like I’m the guy for the job. There’s no way in hell I’m giving up my belt in my first defense.”

The 26-year-old Arboleda (16-1, 13 KO) has amassed an impressive six-fight winning streak heading into the matchup against Colbert, with five of those victories coming inside of the distance. Born in Curundu, Panama, and now fighting out Miami, Fla. Arboleda has fought professionally since 2014 and scored knockouts over two then-undefeated opponents in 2019, Victor Betancourt and Jose Saant. In zijn laatste gevecht, Arboleda, who is ranked fourth in the 130-pound division by the WBA, versloeg voormalig wereldkampioen Jayson Velez door unaniem besluit om zijn eerste gevecht van 12 ronden in februari op SHOWTIME te winnen.

“De droom van elke bokser is om te vechten voor een titel en zonder twijfel te overwinnen,”Zei Arboleda. “Dat is mijn plan voor december 12. Ik heb de beste voorbereiding van mijn hele carrière. Ik voel me geweldig, sterk en snel als nooit tevoren. Ik weet zeker dat het vanaf de allereerste ronde een heel spannend gevecht zal worden. "

Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KO) keert terug in actie na het verliezen van zijn december 2019 botsing tegen Chris Eubank Jr. toen hij een schouderblessure opliep waardoor het gevecht in de tweede ronde moest eindigen. Korobov, die gekerfd 300 wint als gedecoreerde amateur, kwam in dat gevecht op basis van een gelijkspel tegen Immanuwel Aleem, after serving notice to the middleweight division that he would be a threat when he lost a hard-fought decision to undefeated middleweight champion Jermall Charlo in December. Born in Orotukan, Rusland, and now living in St. Petersburg, Fla, Korobov was a late replacement and gave Charlo a tougher fight than many experts expected. Korobov had been riding a four-fight win streak before the Charlo fight, following his first professional defeat against Andy Lee in a 2014 middleweight title fight.

“I am excited to be back in a PBC event on SHOWTIME December 12,” said Korobov. “I have a difficult opponent, but I expect to win and prove that I am back and even better prepared. I must win against Ellis in order to get Jermall Charlo back in the ring. Natuurlijk, I believe I beat Charlo, but that is the past. Ellis is in my future, en ik kom laten zien dat ik nog steeds een van de beste middleweights ter wereld ben.”

De 31-jarige Ellis (17-1-2, 11 KO) zal proberen voort te bouwen op zijn laatste uitje, waarmee hij in december met een meerderheidsbesluit voorsprong op mededinger Immanuwel Aleem 2019. Voor Ellis, dat gevecht bracht hem terug in de winstkolom na zijn eerste nederlaag in zijn carrière, een meerderheidsbesluit tegen DeAndre Ware in maart 2019. De Lynn, Mass.-native is de oudere broer van weltergewicht Rashidi Ellis, en had een indrukwekkende amateurcarrière, waaronder een 2010 Nationaal kampioenschap Gouden Handschoenen afgesloten met een overwinning op Terrell Gausha.

“Het is tijd voor mij om te pronken op 12 december,” zei Ellis. “Korobov kreeg zijn kans tegen de beste middleweights, en nu is het mijn tijd om van deze gelegenheid gebruik te maken en een overwinning op hem te gebruiken om dat niveau te bereiken. We’re working hard in San Diego sparring with Canelo Alvarez so that everything is perfect and I’m at my best on fight night.”

A native of Brooklyn, Hitchins (11-0, 5 KO) werd professional in 2017 after representing Haiti at the 2016 Olympische Spelen. The 23-year-old has flashed impressive skills as he’s amassed an unbeaten record in the pro ranks, which is the product of an extensive amateur career. Hitchins scored four victories in 2019, before debuting in 2020 with a decision victory over Nicholas DeLomba. In his first two 10-round bouts as a professional, the southpaw has scored decisive unanimous decisions.

“I don’t overlook any opponent, but I believe I have a better and sharper skillset than Mendez,'Zei Hitchins. “I have all of the intangibles to become a world champion. That’s often mistaken as being cocky, maar ik geloof gewoon meer in mezelf dan wie dan ook. Ik zal dit gevecht serieus nemen zoals ik elk ander gevecht doe en blijf doen wat ik doe om een ​​stap dichter bij die titel te komen. In het kamp zijn met Floyd Mayweather en Gervonta Davis, Ik heb veel geleerd. Ik heb het gevoel dat ik me moet aanmelden voor de concurrentie. Ze hebben me echt onder druk gezet om een ​​betere vechter te worden. "

Een voormalig super vedergewicht kampioen, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 KO) heeft de reputatie de beste van de sport stevige uitdagingen te bieden en heeft bewezen een duurzame kanshebber te zijn van 140 pond. In 2019, Mendez vocht om back-to-back draws tegen super lichtgewicht kanshebbers, eerst tegen Anthony Peterson in maart en daarna tegen de ongeslagen Juan Heraldez in mei. Geboren in San Juan de La Maguana, Dominicaanse Republiek, Mendez now fights out of Yonkers, N.Y.. and owns victories over Eddie Ramirez, Ivan Redkach and former titlist Miguel Vazquez. He has also gone toe-to-toe with former champions Rances Barthelemy and Robert Easter Jr.

“I’m facing a young prospect who’s hungry for success, but I’m hungrier today than I’ve ever been in my career and I have the experience to go along with it,” said Mendez. “I’m also extremely motivated for this fight, which isn’t good news for Hitchins. When fight time comes on December 12, you’ll witness an intelligent but more aggressive Argenis Mendez.”

BROOKLYN (December 8, 2019) – Ongeslagen WBC middengewicht wereldkampioenJermall Charlo (30-0, 22 KO) successfully defended his title for the second time, stopping highly-ranked Irish contender Dennis Hogan (28-3-1, 7 KO) with a showstopping one-punch knockout in the seventh round Saturday night live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, het huis van BROOKLYN BOKSEN ™, in een gebeurtenis die door Premier Boxing Champions.

WATCH CHARLO’S FINISH

Houston’s Charlo, one of the most exciting young champions in the sport, delivered on his promise that he would close the show in spectacular fashion after going the distance in his previous two bouts. Bij :28 of round number seven, Charlo set Hogan up by feinting on the jab before connecting on a ferocious left hook to Hogan’s nose that sent him falling against the ropes. The 34-year-old Hogan, who was moving up after most recently challenging for the title at 154 pond, rose to his feet before the ten count, but referee Charlie Fitch waived off the bout.

When Hogan was dropped in the seventh round, it was the third time in his career that he had been down and the second time during the fight. In de derde ronde, a vicious left uppercut from Charlo just 12 seconds into the frame sent Hogan rolling backwards onto the canvas, but the Irishman rose quickly and acrobatically to his feet.

Despite throwing far fewer punches, Charlo had the more effective and efficient attack. Charlo landed 86 van de 266 punches he threw (32%) while Hogan landed just 71 van de 418 punches he threw (17%). Despite Hogan landing on 61 macht stoten in vergelijking met 57 for Charlo, Hogan was unable to hurt Charlo, while Charlo’s trademark power resulted in another highlight reel stoppage.

“I made it through 2019 and we’re going to 2020 met 20/20 vision,” said Charlo in the ring following the fight. “Shout out to Dennis Hogan for giving me real competition and for coming up to fight me.Of course my power prevailed tonight.

“We’ve been working on that (the uppercut). I try to take him out with every punch and we work hard for it. He got up and he fought like a champion. Ronnie (Shields) told me to cut him off. I just threw the shot and I made sure I threw it right on the money.

“The middleweight division is wide open. I’m the WBC Champion. I’m going to enjoy this and spend time with my team. I’m here to fight whoever. You have to make the right decisions and do it at the right time. That’s what it’s all about.”

“I wanted to keep going but the decision was fair enough by the referee,” said Hogan. “I didn’t see the punch coming on the second knockdown. I was trying to keep boxing him but then all of a sudden I was on the ground and the fight was over.

“I’m looking forward to spending the Christmas holiday with my family, taking a month off, and then we’ll work on what’s next for me.”


In de co-featured bout, Chris Eubank Jr.'S (29-2, 22 KO) long-awaited United States debut ended in frustrating fashion as his opponent, Matt Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KO), suffered a bout-ending injury at just :34 van de tweede ronde. Because it was ruled a self-inflicted injury, the result was officially declared a TKO victory for Eubank, who picked up the Interim WBA Middleweight Title.

Korobov, a top contender in the middleweight division, injured his left shoulder after throwing a punch that failed to land. After consulting with the ringside doctor, it was deemed that he would be unable to continue.

“I felt like I was about to get my swagger on,” Eubank told SHOWTIME reporter Jim Gray following the stoppage. “He just turned around and stopped. I was going to go jump on him. I guess something happened with his shoulder. There’s nothing to take from the fight. I threw like three or four punches. I was just warming up.”

In de aanloop naar het gevecht, Eubank, the son of British boxing legend and former two-division world champion Chris Eubank Sr., repeatedly said that there would be a new contender in the stacked middleweight division. Despite not getting a chance to introduce himself to the American audience in the way he envisioned, Eubank is looking ahead to a busy 2020.

“I’m the winner, I’m going to move forward and challenger for these belts,” said Eubank. “This wasn’t my dream. My dream was to come here to America and make a statement. Now that I’ve landed and I settled with the new promotional team, I feel I can get the ball rolling for an active 2020. It’s a shame it had to start like this, but it is what it is.”

“I was trying to throw the left hand straight, and I just felt the muscle immediately, like I pulled it,” said Korobov. “It was a lot of pain right away. I couldn’t fight with just one arm, especially being a southpaw.”

In a battle of former world champions to open the telecast, van Japan Ryosuke Iwasa (27-3, 17 KO) knocked out the Philippines’ Marlon Tapales (33-3, 16 KO) with a devastating straight left-hand at 1:09 van de 11th ronde. Met de overwinning, Iwasa earned the vacant Interim IBF World Junior Featherweight Title.

Iwasa, who held a six-and-a-half-inch reach advantage, was more consistent throughout the entirety of the bout, stringing together multi-punch combinations. The decisive moment of the 12-round fight came in the penultimate round, when Tapales was caught with a counter left-hand that connected flush on his chin and put him sprawled on the canvas. Tapales beat the count, rising after eight seconds, but referee Shada Murdaugh waved the fight off.

Ten tijde van de onderbreking, Iwasa led on all three scorecards (97-92, 95-94, 97-92). While Tapales was more accurate throughout the night, Iwasa was busier and landed 163 total punches compared to 148 for Tapales and held a 125-99 advantage in power punches landed. In de derde ronde, Tapales was dropped to a knee after an accidental clash of heads. The clash, which was incorrectly ruled a knockdown, caused severe swelling under Tapales’ right eye and swung a would-be 10-9 round in his favor to a 10-8 round in Iwasa’s favor.

“I knew that I had him hurt in the 11th round and I was ready for the finish if the referee had let him keep fighting,” said the 29-year-old Iwasa. “It was a tough fight but I trained really hard for this performance. My height and reach was definitely an advantage. I was able to put my punches together well. He never hurt me but he was still difficult and I had to focus to figure him out.

“We’re ready for anyone next. I’m going to keep working hard to become a world champion again next year.”

On Saturday’s telecast it was announced that former two-division world champion Danny Garcia would return to the ring on Saturday, Januari 25 live op Showtime van Barclays Center. During an interview with SHOWTIME Sports host Brian Custer, Garcia discussed his anticipated return to the ring.

“Januari 25, I’m back at Barclays Center, my home away from home,” Garcia said. “It’s a great atmosphere. Every time I’m here, I get the jitters, so I just can’t wait to be back. I’ve been in the gym for a month. I’m already ready. I don’t know who my opponent is, but whoever they put in front of me, I’m ready to get it on.

“Eerst en vooral, Godzijdank (Errol) Spence is doing good. I hear that he’s recovering well. I was really looking forward to fighting him but maybe he could be next after January 25. Pac-Man (Manny Pacquiao) or Spence, that’s who we want. 2020 is going to be a big year for me.”

Prior to the telecast on SHOWTIME, SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN streamed live on the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube-kanaal en Showtime Boxing Facebook-pagina and saw Ronald Ellis (17-1-2, 11 KO) win a majority decision over Immanuel Aleem (18-2-2, 11 KO) in their 10-round super middleweight fight.

The back and forth affair saw both men grab the momentum of the fight at different points, but it was Ellis’ activity and ability to box effectively from the outside that gave him the edge. While one judge had the fight 95-95, he was overruled by two scores of 98-92 en 97-93 for Ellis.

The opening streaming bout saw Louisa Hawton (10-2, 5 KO) retain her Interim WBC Atomweight Championship by unanimous decision in an all-action rematch againstLorraine Villalobos (4-3, 2 KO).

Hawton came back after being dropped by a powerful left hook from Villalobos in the sixth round. Hawton was saved by the bell in the round and finished the fight strong, punctuating the action getting the best of several exchanges in the late rounds to win by the score of 95-94 alle drie kaarten.

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader will replay on Monday at 10:05 p.m. ET / PT op SHOWTIME EXTREME.

BROOKLYN (November 19, 2019) – Middleweight star Chris Eubank Jr. en top contender Matt Korobov shared their thoughts on their upcoming showdown for the Interim WBA Middleweight Title taking place Saturday, December 7 live op Showtime van Barclays Center,het huis van BROOKLYN BOKSEN ™.



The middleweight division will take center stage on the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®uitzending (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT) that is headlined by undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo defending his title against highly-ranked contender Dennis Hogan. In de opening aanval van de uitzending, former world champions Marlon Tapales en Ryosuke Iwasawill meet for an interim 122-pound title.



Tickets voor de live-evenement, die wordt bevorderd door Lions Alleen Promoties en TGB Promotions, are on-sale now and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com
en barclayscenter.com. Tickets kunnen ook worden gekocht bij de American Express Box Office op Barclays Center. Groep kortingen zijn verkrijgbaar door te bellen naar 844-BKLYN-GP.



Eubank will make his U.S. pro debut on December 7, after establishing himself as a contender at 160 en 168 pounds while fighting in his native United Kingdom. He most recently registered a career-best win over former champion James DeGale in February on SHOWTIME in London but will now move back down to 160 pounds to seek a title at middleweight beginning with the fight against Korobov.



Korobov will return to fight at Barclays Center for the second time nearly one year after losing a close decision to Charlo as a late replacement opponent last December in Brooklyn. After fighting to a controversial draw against Immanuwel Aleem in May, Korobov will look to make a statement against Eubank to earn another shot at a world title.



Here is what Eubank and Korobov had to say about their matchup, a future fight with Jermall Charlo and more:



CHRIS Eubank JR.



How does it feel to be making your U.S. pro debut on December 7? What are you looking to show the U.S. fans in this fight?



“It’s always been a dream of mine to fight in the U.S. Even with everything I’ve done in the sport over in the U.K, I’ve always felt there was something missing and I believe it was the urge to introduce myself and my fight style to the American audience of fight fans. Now I have my opportunity.”



Why did you make the decision to move down to middleweight for this fight? In what ways are you stronger at 160-pounds?



“I’ve never been a real super middleweight. I walk around at 170 pounds out of competition and have to eat breakfast the day of my weigh-ins to make 168. I believe at 160 I am going to be a beast now that I have become accustomed to fighting much bigger fighters over the last three years.”



What do you know about Korobov as a fighter and how do you see this fight going stylistically?



“I think Korobov will be awkward until I pin him down and when I do, I will show the audience why I am a fan friendly fighter.”



If you’re able to get past Korobov, what would you think of a fight against Jermall Charlo? What advantages do you think you have in that fight?



“When I dispatch of Korobov, Charlo is definitely the name that’s on my radar. He is seen as one of the elite fighters in the middleweight division and I intend to prove that he is not on my level. It will be satisfying stamping my mark on the division against Charlo after I beat Korobov. I think it will be a great fight for the fans as together our styles would make for a very exciting bout.”



MATT KOROBOV



Is it exciting to be back at Barclays Center as the co-main event to Charlo, because with a win, you have an opportunity to show him why you deserve the rematch?



"Ja, it is very exciting to be back at Barclays Center, only this time I will leave with the belt. I thought I deserved an immediate rematch against Charlo because many people believed I won. I think when I defeat Eubank Jr. and win this belt, it will force Charlo to give me a rematch. We shall see. I only focus on one fight at a time and right now I am only focused on Chris Eubank Jr.”

How do you stay mentally focused on the next fight when you believe you had two bad scorecards go against you?



“I do not focus on the past. I focus on the future because I can only control the future. I will be my best and my best will be good enough against Chris Eubank Jr. We’re doing everything possible in camp to make sure I’m ready.”

What do you make of Eubank as a fighter? How do you expect the fight to look stylistically?



“Eubank is a very good fighter, one of the best. I believe I am a more disciplined fighter. I think my technique is better, but he does some things very well. Let’s see on December 7. I don’t want to give away the weaknesses I see, but the style difference will make a very entertaining fight for the fans.

Do you think you have the advantage as far as boxing skills over Eubank? How do you counter his possible size advantage, given that he’s coming down from 168 pond?



“I think my skills are better. I do not think weight will be an issue. He is professional and I am professional. Als iets, perhaps it is a little more difficult for him to make 160 after years at 168. I will fight anyone between 160 en 168 pond, so I don’t see any problem with weight for me, perhaps more for him. We will find out December 7.”

Ellis (15-0-2, 10 KO), who recently sparred with Canelo Alvarez and Sergey Kovalev, terug naarShoBox for the fourth time seeking a statement win. De Lynn, Massa., native faces Ware (12-1-2, 8 KO), a come-forward fighter out of Toledo, Ohio who trained with Tony Harrison in preparation for his upset win over Jermell Charlo.
 
Het evenement wordt gepromoot door GH3 Promotions in samenwerking met Greg Cohen Promoties. Tickets can be purchased by calling 585-232-3221.
 
In de opening aanval van de uitzending, undefeated lightweights Thomas Mattice and Will Madera will face off in an eight-round 135-pound matchup. Like Ellis, Mattice (13-0-1, 10 KO), Cleveland, returns for his fourth bout on the prospect developmental series. Madera (12-0-2, 6 KO), a three-time New York Golden Gloves Champion out of Albany, N.Y., will make his television debut.
 
The scheduled televised opener between Abraham Nova and Oluwaseun Joshua Wahab was cancelled after Wahab was forced to withdraw from the bout due to immigration issues entering the U.S. from Ghana.
 
DEFINITIEVE GEWICHTEN
 
Super Middleweight 10-Round Bout
Ronald Ellis – 167 ½ Pounds
DeAndre Ware – 166 ¾ Pounds
 
Lightweight 8-Round Bout
Thomas Mattice – 134 ¼ Pounds
Will Madera – 134 ½ Pounds
 
 
FINAL QUOTES:
 
RONALD ELLIS 
 
“It’s my fourth time onShoBox, this time I have to get it right, this time I have to go out with a bang.
 
“I’m going to show a lot, I’m going to show boxing, banging, whatever they want to see we’re going to bring.
 
“I trained at Buddy McGirt’s new boxing gym in Northridge, Calif. I sparred Canelo Alvarez for his last fight and was in camp with Sergey Kovalev for his fight this weekend.
 
“I learned a lot from Canelo and Kovalev. I feel like sparring with them gave me an edge, so I’m going to look like a whole different fighter in there. Canelo is more compact and he comes a little bit faster. Kovalev, he’s big and he’s a banger.
 
“DeAndre Ware is tough. He’s just a real tough guy who comes to fight. He got a lot of heart and he’s just going to do what he got to do. He’s not going to stick and move. He’s going to be there all night unless I get him out. I think his game plan is just going to be to come in and do what he does.
 
“I think it’s a perfect fight for SHOWTIME. This one is going to be entertaining.”
 
 
DeANDRE WARE
 
"Ik voel me geweldig, feeling strong. We had a full camp this time around so I’m looking for good things. My training camp was about six to eight weeks at the Glass City Gym in Toledo. Prior to that, I was in Tony Harrison’s camp helping him to get ready to fight (Jermell) Charlo.
 
“Sparring was great, it was probably the best sparring and best camp I’ve had so far. I only had about 12 days to prepare for my last fight and I’m in much better shape this time. I think that’s going to play a big difference in this fight tomorrow night.
 
“Ronald Ellis is just another guy in my way. I think Ellis is a tough fighter. From what I’ve seen, he’s a come-forward guy. He tries to box a little bit – there’s skill. I respect anybody that gets in that ring, but come fight time, all that stuff goes out the door. I’m coming to win.”
 
 
THOMAS MATTICE
 
“It’s a great feeling to come back toShoBox for the fourth time. Mijn laatste gevecht [a draw against Hamazaryan] was a great fight, a very exciting fight, but I thought I edged it five rounds to three. We’re going to do what we have to do to make sure this fight doesn’t turn out like that.”
 
“If I use my skills and my ability to use the ring it should help me tomorrow night. I don’t really know much about my opponent, I haven’t watched him since he was a last-second opponent and I got him like two weeks ago.
 
“Training camp was great. We were training for a southpaw and then they switched it when my opponent switched but I’m confident and I feel ready.
 
“I’m better than what I’ve shown in the past. My plan is to show that tomorrow night.”
 
WILL MADERA
 
"Ik voel me geweldig, I’m confident and I’m looking to put on a show. I had a great camp, I trained hard and I have no worries.
 
“For tomorrow, the key is pressure, intelligent pressure. I don’t want to come in overwhelming myself but still keep the pressure on him.
 
“Our styles should make for an exciting fight. If I bring the pressure it’s going to be a fun fight
 
[The Hamazaryan fight] was controversial. The first fight was a really close fight and I think if I apply the same pressure and fight smarter, I’ll get the victory.
 
“I’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this. Now I just need to finish the job.”

UNDEFEATED SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT RONALD ELLIS LOOKS TO GET NEW ENGLAND SPORTS OFF TO A GREAT START IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION THIS FRIDAY, Februari 1 LEVEN OP Showtime

Ellis Takes On DeAndre Ware In Main Event Of Tripleheader Beginning Live At 10 p.m. ET/PT From Main Street Armory In Rochester, N.Y..


NEW YORK – Januari 29, 2019 – Undefeated super middleweight prospect and Massachusetts native Ronald Ellis (15-0-2, 10 KO) will look to set the tone for a successful sports weekend for New England when he takes on DeAndre Ware (12-1-2, 8 KO) in the 10-round main event of ShoBox: The New Generation this Friday live on SHOWTIME (10 PM ET / PT).

De strijd, which will take place at The Main Street Armory in Rochester, New York, will serve as another opportunity for Ellis, a native of Lynn, Massachusetts.

Ellis, who is a huge fan of his beloved New England Patriots, is eager to earn a big win and then return to his new residence in Los Angeles to see Tom Brady bring home a record sixth Super Bowl title.

“My camp went beautiful. I have had a couple camps in a row, so I was able to work on a lot of things. I learned a lot in this camp,” zei Ellis.

The 29-year-old Ellis knows that he has a tough customer in front of him in once-beaten Ware.

“Ware is a solid fighter. He is real tough, and he comes forward. He is not a tall guy, but he makes up with it with his toughness. He is a former football player, and he likes to come forward, so I know he will be there.”

This will be the fourth appearance on ShoBox for Ellis, and he feels that a strong performance will lead him to major fights in the next year.

“Dit jaar, I have to execute. Now it’s time to perform. I just need to keep fighting, and if that happens I feel that I will be in line for a title shot in the next year. There is a lot of talent in the division, and now it’s time to knuckle up and all fight each other. I feel that I can compete with the elite of the division.”

When talking about the Patriots, Ellis lights up. He has been a fan of the team since he was a youth growing up in the Boston suburbs.

“It’s is going to be a great game. Ironisch, I moved to Los Angeles to train a couple of years ago, and for the last week all I’ve been hearing about is the Rams. It has been fun going at with the guys in the gym about the game, but I will always represent the Patriots. I am going to get the state of Massachusetts off to a good start on Friday, and the Patriots will have their arms raised on Sunday.”

Ellis and Ware headline a tripleheader that will also feature undefeated lightweights Thomas Mattice (13-0-1, 10 KO) of Cleveland taking on Will Madera (12-0-2, 6 KO) van Albany, New York in an eight-round bout. The broadcast kicks off with a eight-round super featherweight contest between undefeated fighters Abraham Nova (14-0, 10 KO) van Albany, New York and Oluwaseun Joshua Wahab (18-0, 11 KO) van Accra, Ghana.

Tickets voor de live-evenement, which is promoted by GH3 Promotions in association with Greg Cohen Promotions, zijn geprijsd op $100 for VIP Ringside, $50 for Preferred Seating, $30 voor algemene toelating en $2,000 for VIP Tables. Tickets can be purchased by calling 585-232-3221.

UNDEFEATED SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT RONALD ELLIS RETURNS TO FACE DEANDRE WARE IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: DE NIEUWE GENERATIE VRIJDAG, Februari 1 LEVEN OP Showtime

Highly Regarded Prospects Logan Yoon and Abraham Nova To Make ShoBox Debuts In Separate Bouts Of Three-Fight Telecast

Wonen bij 10 p.m. ET/PT From Main Street Armory In Rochester, N.Y..

NEW YORK - Januari 8, 2019 – Undefeated super middleweight prospect Ronald Ellis returns to ShoBox: The New Generation seeking a statement win against DeAndre Ware in the 10-round main event of a three-fight telecast on Friday, Februari 1 live on SHOWTIME from Main Street Armory in Rochester, N.Y..

The first of two February editions of the prospect developmental series will feature six fighters with a combined 89 wins against just three losses. The series returns just two weeks later on February 15 with a focus on the heavyweight division.

In the February 1 co-featured fight, 20-year-old Hawaiian Logan Yoon (14-0, 11 KO) will make his national television debut against Richard Zamora (18-2, 11 KO) in an eight-round super lightweight bout.

In de opening aanval van de uitzending, former No. 1-gerangschikt in de VS. amateur Abraham Nova (12-0, 10 KO) will face fellow-unbeaten Oluwaseun Joshua Wahab (18-0, 11 KO), van Ghana, in an eight-round super featherweight bout.

The 29-year-old Ellis, originally from Lynn, Massa., returns for his fourthShoBox appearance as he seeks a statement win following a controversial draw in his last outing on the series. The former National Golden Gloves Gold Medalist out-boxed Junior Younan last February in a fight many observers thought he deserved to win. Still undefeated, Ellis returns as he looks to prove he has what it takes to turn from prospect to contender.

“I need to make a statement,”Zei Ellis, who upset highly regarded Terrell Gausha to win the 2010 Nationale Golden Gloves. “The last time I was onShoBoxI got a draw. This is the perfect opportunity for me to show I have what it takes. Ware won’t run – he comes at you, he roughs you up, and he’ll be right there for me to hit. I know what I am up against. I have been working hard, training in different camps and approaching this as the biggest fight of my life. I appreciate SHOWTIME for giving me another opportunity to prove I’m ready for the big show.”

The fan-friendly Ware suffered the first loss of his career last September in a close and entertaining brawl with Cem Kilic onShoBox. De 2013 National Golden Gloves Bronze Medalist will look to return to the win column as he faces his third consecutive unbeaten opponent. The 30-year-old’s career-best victory came last year over 2012 Olympian and previously undefeated prospect Enrique Collazo. A former collegiate football player at the University of Toledo, Ware also works fulltime as a firefighter in his hometown of Toledo.

“My last time out onShoBox was great, but unfortunately I didn’t come out victorious,” Ware said. “This time I’m looking to come out with my arm raised at the end of the fight. Ronald Ellis is a tough fighter, and I commend and respect anyone who steps in that square circle. I know a win against a tough, undefeated guy is what I need to get me on track to winning a world title. I see big things happening for me after a win like this. The sky is the limit after this win.”

The 20-year-old Yoon, who was born and raised in Honolulu, ging 100-11 as an amateur before turning professional in 2016. Gifted with one-punch power, Yoon started his career with 10 straight knockouts before earning a unanimous decision over former world champion Juan Carlos Salgado in just his 11th professional fight. Yoon fought five times in 2018, and his level of opposition has steadily increased as he has gained experience.

“This is a great opportunity to show the world what I already know – that I’m one of the best young fighters in the game,” Yoon said. “A win at this point of my career will open up new doors and will get me one step closer to where I want to be. We’re studying our opponent and putting a plan together for February 1. It will be my job to execute it.”

Zamora hails from Matehuala, San Luis Potosí, Mexico, where he compiled an amateur record of 60 wins against just four losses. The 25-year-old won the silver medal at the Mexican National Amateur Championships before turning professional in 2012. Zamora has fought his entire career in Mexico and will make his U.S. debut on February 1. He has won five straight since a 2017 loss to Antonio Moran, who recently dropped a close decision to Jose Pedraza.

“This will be my first fight in America and I’m thrilled that it will be onShoBox,” Zamora said. “I will win this for my parents that sacrificed a lot for me and for my wife and son – I can’t let them down. I am coming to win and to show everybody that Mexico will always produce proud champions.”

Born in Puerto Rico, the 24-year-old Nova fought as an amateur in the U.S. where he compiled a stellar record of 167-11. Nova, who fights out of Albany, N.Y., was the No. 1 ranked 141-pound fighter in the United States and won gold at the 2014 U.S. National Boxing Championships. He turned professional in 2016 shortly after losing a close decision in the Olympic Trials to Gary Antuanne Russell. The hard-hitting super featherweight picked up five wins in 2018 and will face just his second undefeated opponent on February 1.

“I’m looking forward to making myShoBox debut and the fact that it’s in Upstate New York makes it even more special,” Nova said. “I’ll have many of my friends, family and fans in attendance, so I plan on making a statement. You don’t want to miss it.”

Wahab was born in Nigeria but fought as an amateur for Ghana, where he was a three-time national amateur champion. He has fought his entire professional career in Africa, where he has already been in five-scheduled 12 ronde gevechten. The 28-year-old Wahab is mentored by Ghanaian great Azumah Nelson, who is widely considered the greatest African boxer of all time.

"In alle eerlijkheid, I’ve watched his fights, and I respect all fighters, but Nova hasn’t seen a fighter like me yet,” Wahab said. “I’ll be leaving New York undefeated.”

Tickets voor de live-evenement, which is promoted by GH3 Promotions in association with Greg Cohen Promotions, zijn geprijsd op $100 for VIP Ringside, $50 for Preferred Seating, $30 voor algemene toelating en $2,000 for VIP Tables. Tickets can be purchased by calling 585-232-3221.

GH3 Promotions fighters shine in Philly!

Laat een reactie achter

Nutley, NJ (April 6, 2018)-Two of GH3 Promotions top fighters remained undefeated last Friday night at The Fillmore in Philadelphia.

 

 

 

Super middengewicht Ronald Ellis won a six-round unanimous decision over Taneal Goyco, terwijl Joey Alday, Jr. kept his perfect knockout record intact by stopping Michael Crain in the 3rd round of their junior middleweight bout.

 

 

 

Ellis battered the upset-specialist Goyco for much of the fight, and almost had the tough Philadelphian stopped several times during the fight. Ellis of Lynn, Massachusetts cruised home by with the victory by scores of 60-53 tweemaal en 59-54 om zijn stempel te verhogen 15-0-2.

 

 

 

Alday, who was making his debut under the GH3 Promotions banner, fought as expected by using good boxing skills while mixing power shots. He just needed a wicked body shot to end things at at 1:28 of round three to keep unblemished at 7-0 met 7 knock-outs.

 

 

 

“Ronald came back very nicely after a tough fight in February,” zei Vito Mielnicki, CEO van GH3 Promotions, who was referring to Ellis’ disputed draw with Junior Younan in February. “His next fight will be another significant fight against a top opponent. He is a couple fights away from something big in the super middleweight division. As for Joey, he performed terrific. He is a big junior middleweight who displayed both boxing skills and power. We will bring him along nicely, and have him back in May.”

The sold-out show was promoted by Hard Hitting promotions.

 

 

 

Hawkins used his length to pick and land shots on the inside. Hawkins raced to the early lead, but the veteran Serrano got going in the middle rounds as he used his experience to get himself back into the fight by winning scrums on the inside and an occasional long right hand. Down the stretch, Hawkins dug down deep and took control of the fight as seemed to be the fresher fighter. Hawkins who had never been past seven rounds, paced himself well against a tough Serrano, who never showed any signs of retreating as the two stood and fought until the final bell.

 

 

 

Hawkins of Baltimore, MD won met scores van 98-92, 97-93 en 96-94 to raise his perfect mark to 13-0. Serrano of Philadelphia was urged on by his loyal fan base, but fell just short, and now drops to 24-5.

Teah of Philadelphia is now 13-2-1 met 6 knock-outs. Rizo of Managua, Nicaragua 19-13.
