Վերջին ութ տարվա ընթացքում Նավարեթեն անպարտելի է, որը տարածվում է 27 մարտեր.


Մենամարտը տեղի կունենա ժ “Փուչիկը” MGM Grand Conference Center- ի ներսում, և հեռուստատեսությամբ ուղիղ հեռարձակմամբ կցուցադրվի ESPN և ESPN արտաքսումներով.


“Այս հնարավորության համար ես փոքր ժամանակվանից հետույքս էի աշխատում, և ես պարզապես չեմ կարող սպասել, որ այնտեղ հայտնվեմ և պայքարեմ տիտղոսի համար,” - ասաց Վիլյան, ում կողմից նպաստում է Banner Ակցիաներ իսկ Thompson Բռնցքամարտի. “Navarrete- ն իսկական ագրեսիվ մեքսիկացի մարտիկ է. Նա գալիս է հաղթելու. Նա նախկին չեմպիոն էր, և ես անօրենն եմ, բայց ես նրան հաղթելու ոճ ունեմ. Մենք ճամբարը նույնն ենք պահել. Մենք դրան պարզապես վերաբերվում ենք այնպես, ինչպես յուրաքանչյուր մարտում, պարզապես այս մենամարտը աշխարհի կոչման համար է. Իմ ամբողջ քրտնաջան աշխատանքը տալիս է իր արդյունքը.

“Սա այն է, ինչ մենք պատկերացնում էինք Ռուբենի համար, երբ նրան դուրս գրեցինք սիրողականներից, պայքարել աշխարհի կոչման համար,” ասել է Արտի Pelullo, Նախագահ Banner Ակցիաներ. “Այդ հնարավորությունն այժմ եկել է, և մենք ակնկալում ենք, որ Ռուբենը հիանալի ելույթ կունենա հոկտեմբերի 9-ին և նվաճելու WBO վարկածով աշխարհի չեմպիոնի կոչումը. Ես զուսպ կլինեի, եթե չշնորհակալություն հայտնեի Stephen Espinoza իսկ Gordon Hall Showtime- ի համար `Ռուբենի կարիերայի զարգացման գործում նրանց բոլոր օգնության համար, ցուցադրելով նրան ShoBox- ում, որն օգնել է նրան պատրաստ լինել այս մենամարտին:”


“Ռուբեն Վիլյան սարսափելի մարտիկ է և ունի աշխարհի չեմպիոն դառնալու իր երազանքը իրականություն դարձնելու ունակություն. Hardանր աշխատանքը, որը Banner Promotions- ը և մենք Thompson Boxing- ում տանում ենք նրա կարիերայի վրա, անպայման կտան իրենց արդյունքը,” ասել է Ken Thompson, Thompson Boxing- ի գլխավոր տնօրեն. “Navarrete- ն ահռելի չեմպիոն է, և դա հսկայական մարտահրավեր կլինի մեր մարտիկի համար, բայց ես համոզված եմ, որ Ռուբենը կբարձրանա առիթով և մեզ բոլորիս հպարտ կդարձնի:”

With հաղթանակից, Villa successfully defended his WBO International title.

In that bout, Villa was dominant throughout and displayed a diverse arsenal of punches that were very effective in decisively out punching the offensive minded Collado.

The ranking from the heralded magazine, adds to his world rankings of #5 կողմից WBO եւ #13 կողմից WBC.

I was just surprised to get the recognition that I deserve. It’s been tough, but its finally starting to payoff. I am trying to get better with each fight and the people were happy. That the last fight against Collado meant a lot and opened up many doors,” - ասաց Վիլյան

Being recognized in the top-10 by Ring Magazine solidifies and validates Ruben of graduating from top-prospect to bona fide contender. In his next bout, we are looking for Ruben to really make a statement and face another world-ranked opponent in order to put him in position to fight for a world title,” ասել է Banner Promotions նախագահ, Արտի Pelullo.

SHREVEPORT, La. – January 31, 2020 - After his fourth consecutive victory in a little more than 12 months onShoBox: The New Generation, Ruben Villa is ready to graduate from the 19-year prospect series.


 
The undefeated featherweight Villa put on a boxing clinic in a dominating unanimous decision win over Alexei Collado. The judges scored the fight 99-91 and 98-92 twice in the main event Friday night from George’s Pond at Hirsch Coliseum in Shreveport, The.


 
The 22-year-old Salinas, Կալիֆոռնիա, native Villa (18-0, 5 Նոկաուտով), who entered the ring paying tribute to the late Kobe Bryant by wearing his No. 8 Lakers jersey into the ring, called his performance “solid” against a “tough and aggressive fighter.”


 
“He was challenging throughout the fight,” said Villa. “I feel like I put on a good show. He was a big knockout puncher and he’s no pushover. He brought out the best in me.”


 
Վիլլա, who was the was also the 2014 իսկ 2016 National Golden Gloves Champion, is currently ranked No. 5 ի 126 pounds by the WBO and No. 13 կողմից WBC. He said after the fight he’s ready for the best his division has to offer.


 
The 31-year-old Cuban Collado (26-3, 23 Նոկաուտով) who lives in Miami, lost for the first time in seven bouts. “It was a good fight,” said Collado, who won the 2006 Junior World Title in the flyweight division. “We both brought everything. We put on a good show for the fans. He moves a lot and he’s a smart fighter. I feel like when I threw a lot I hit him but I wasn’t active enough.”


 
Villa said he stayed disciplined training during the holidays. “Now I’m going to take a few weeks off and then get right back in the gym,«Նա ասել է.


 
Ի համագործակցության հնարավորություններով մենամարտում, undefeated Ukrainian and 2012 Olympic Bronze medalist Taras Shelestyuk (18-0, 10 Նոկաուտով) recorded a dominating unanimous decision victory against Argentina’s Luis Alberto Veron (18-2-2, 9 Նոկաուտով). The judges scored the 10-round welterweight fight 97-93 իսկ 98-92 երկու անգամ.


 
Shelestyuk, who overcame a bad fifth-round cut on his forehead, had boxed just 10 rounds in the last three years.


 
“It was a good fight,” Shelestyuk said. “I hit him with some good shots, and controlled the fight. I have been out since March, and I feel that I performed well. I am happy to be back on television.


 
“The cut didn’t bother me. This is professional boxing, and these things happen. I want to be back in May or June. If I come back in the next several months, I want to fight a big name – guys like Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia.”


 
Հեռարձակման բացիչում, late replacement Sulaiman Segawa (12-2-1, 3 Նոկաուտով) looked impressive in hisShoBox debut seemingly out-boxing Zhora Hamazaryan (9-1-2, 6 Նոկաուտով) and recording the better stat sheet, but the close lightweight fight was called a split-decision draw. One judge had Segawa winning 78-74, another 77-75 for Hamazaryan and the third judge called it even, 76-76.


 
ShoBox analyst Steve Farhood had the fight scored 77-75 Segawa, while Barry Tompkins and Raul Marquez both saw it 78-74 in favor of Segawa.


 
“I won the fight,” said Segawa, who took the fight on just four days’ notice. “I maintained him and his aggressiveness. I came up to his weight and dictated the action. I staggered him a couple of times and he was not touching me.”


 
Segawa earned the better stats in nearly every category. Hamazaryan was more active (57.5 punches per round to Segawa’s 53.6) but Segawa outlanded him 130-100 ընդհանուր, 42-14 jabs and 88-86 power and was more accurate in all phases (30%-22% ընդհանուր, 28%-8% jabs, 31.3%-31.1% իշխանություն). Segawa even led 25-22 in body connects


 
Segawa, 28, moved to Silver Spring, Md., two years ago and is originally from Kampala, Uganda. He has won six times against previously undefeated opponents with his two losses also to undefeated fighters.


 
Hamazaryan, who was making his thirdShoBox հայտնվելը, returned to the ring after 16 months as he returned to his native Armenia to get his physical education degree.

 

“It was a good fight,” the 23-year-old Hamazaryan said. “I started slow because of the switch in opposition and felt rusty. I’m going to go right back to the gym and keep on learning. And I will be better.”


 
It was the second consecutive split draw for Hamazaryan, who also recorded a split draw against Thomas Mattice in his lastShoBox appearance in September of 2018.


 
Friday’s fights were promoted by Banner Promotions, Thompson Boxing and Bishop Promotions LLC. The full telecast will replay on Monday, Փետրվար 3 ի 10 կեսօրից. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.

ԿՈՐՈՆԱ, Կրոնապետ. – May 10, 2019 – Undefeated prospect Ruben Villa stayed true to his calm and consistent style, recording a unanimous decision over Luis Alberto Lopez in his first main-event appearance on ShoBox: The New Generation Friday from Omega Products Events Center in Corona, Կրոնապետ.



The judges’ scorecards read 98-92, 97-93 իսկ 96-94 in the featherweight bout, although all three ShoBox commentators had Villa winning each round except the 10րդ կլոր, giving the final round to Lopez (17-2, 8 Նոկաուտով) in a fight that saw nearly 1,400 punches thrown.



“I give myself a ‘C’ grade,” said Villa, making his second consecutive ShoBox հայտնվելը. “He was a tough opponent and had a real awkward style and wasn’t really a boxer. It took me awhile to adjust to him and it was hard not to get frustrated.”



Taken the 10-round distance for the first time in his career, the 22-year-old Villa (16-0, 5 Նոկաուտով) of Salinas, Կալիֆոռնիա, took the first two rounds to get used to the top-15 ranked contender Lopez’s awkward style before he began landing heavy body shots to dominate the third round.



In the seventh round, Villa out-jabbed Lopez and continued the onslaught of body punches in the ninth round, but was not able to get the knockout against the game Lopez.



“I agreed with the judges’ scorecards,” the two-time National Golden Gloves Amateur Champion Villa said. “I still got the unanimous decision win so I have no problem with that. I can take a whole lot from this fight tonight.”



Lopez was coming off an upset victory over Ray Ximenez in his U.S. debut in February but could not repeat the feat against the highly regarded Villa.



“I hit him with the better shots,” Lopez said. “I was consistently throwing and landing the power shots while he was just jabbing. Ես զգացի, լավ. It’s a complicated to fight a lefty, but I thought I landed the punches that scored.”



Ի co-հնարավորությունը, undefeated 21-year-old rising prospect Michael Dutchover (13-0, 10 Նոկաուտով) made quick work of late replacement Rosekie Cristobal (15-4, 11 Նոկաուտով) Ֆիլիպինների, connecting on a right-left combination to Cristobal’s liver that sent him to both knees before being counted out by referee Zachary Young at 1:46 of the first round of a scheduled eight-round super lightweight contest.

“I have to be able to adjust,” said Dutchover, a runner-up at the 2016 National Golden Gloves and a bronze medalist in the 2016 Օլիմպիական որակավորման. “I was given a tall lefty on short notice due to the original opponent dropping out. Part of being a professional is being able to adapt. It’s nothing I haven’t seen before. I’ve seen pretty much every style through the amateurs and now during sparring sessions as a pro.”



Dutchover added: “I was patient and waited for the open shots. He wasn’t covering up the body so that was my target. The plan from the beginning was to break him down. I’m just happy I was able to end it early and give the fans something to talk about.”



Բացման մենամարտում է tripleheader, undefeated bantamweight prospect Saul Sanchez (12-0, 7 Նոկաուտով) recorded an eighth-round knockout against Brandon Benitez (14-2, 6 Նոկաուտով) in an entertaining and all-action fight.



After an even first round, Sanchez and Benitez continued to trade shots over the first three rounds before Benitez’s legs began to betray him and he tired midway through the fourth, slowing the pace of the fight considerably. Sanchez, of North Hollywood, Կալիֆոռնիա, landed three huge punches that staggered Benitez as the fourth round came to a close, stoking the undefeated prospect with confidence as the fight reached progressed to the later rounds.



In the seventh round, Mexico’s Benitez suffered an injury over his right eye from a Sanchez punch, and referee Raul Caiz Jr. warned Benitez prior to the eight round to protect himself. At the start of the eighth round, a flush right hand by the 21-year-old Sanchez connected cleanly and Caiz Jr. stepped in and stopped the fight after just 18 վայրկյան.



“I felt strong throughout the fight,” Sanchez said. “Benitez was tough so I had to be careful and aggressive at the same time. I know I hurt him a handful of times, but I know I can do better. My conditioning was great. I was ready to go the distance.”



Sanchez out-landed the 21-year-old Benitez 145-94 overall and 123-78 in power connects while landing 42 percent of his power shots to Benitez’s 29 տոկոս.

Watch the Haney KnockdownHERE

SHREVEPORT – January 12, 2019 – Devin Haney passed the biggest test of his young career Friday night onShoBox: The New Generation, kicking off the 2019 boxing year with a dazzling performance and unanimous decision victory over fellow undefeated former South African champion Xolisani Ndongeni live on SHOWTIME from StageWorks of Louisiana.

Haney (21-0, 13 Նոկաուտով) scored a second-round knockdown and wore Ndongeni (25-1, 13 Նոկաուտով) down with punishing body shots in the latter part of the fight in winning easily on all three judges’ scorecards, 100-89 երկու անգամ, and 99-90.See the second-round knockdownHERE.

Haney told SHOWTIME’s Steve Farhood in the ring after the fight he only wants to be considered a contender from here on out. “I want those top guys,«Նա ասել է. “Now they really can’t deny me. I’ve been saying this for a long time but now, I’m a contender.”See the post-fight interviewHERE

The knockdown came at 1:30 of the second round as a Haney right hand landed flush knocking the unbalanced Ndongeni to the canvas. But it was Haney’s body shots that wore out the stubborn Ndongeni, who was fighting in the United States for just the second time. Haney badly wanted to end the fight with a knockout, even telling his father Bill Haney between rounds, “I’m going to knock him out

“He’s a great fighter,” said Haney, who with the victory takes home the WBO Intercontinental and WBC International belts. “You don’t make it to 25-0 without being anybody. I knew it was going to be tough opponent from the very beginning. He’s a really good fighter and I didn’t choose him. That was the opponent that came up and you know me, I don’t turn down anybody. I fight whoever comes in front of me.”

Farhood said 2019 could be the year Haney fights for a world title. “I’m impressed because he showed a side of himself that we hadn’t seen before,” the International Boxing Hall of Famer Farhood said. “For a young fighter, although he’s very skilled, you want to see him handle all kinds of situations. He went to the body effectively and if the fight goes 30 seconds longer he gets the stoppage. Is a world title fight in 2019 a possibility? Certainly. Just because he’s 20 doesn’t mean he’s not good enough. It’s clear there’s no one that’s going to out-box him.”

Farhood finally gave Ndongeni a round for the first time in the seventh as he used some effective body work to control the round, although never visibly hurting Haney or putting him in too much danger.

As the fight went deeper and deeper, Haney just kept getting stronger. In the final two roundshe led 69-28 on overall landed punches (16-6 jabs and 53-22 իշխանություն). In the final minute of the final round, Haney out-landed Ndongeni 23-3 in total connects.

“I’m getting stronger with each fight and I feel my man strength emerging,” Haney said. “Ndongeni is a very durable fighter. I attribute his big heart for keeping him in the fight. I knew I was the superior fighter. I showed everyone I can fight coming forward, Ես կարող եմ տուփ, I can bang, I do it all. Ես պատրաստ եմ…no one is stopping me.”

In a battle of undefeated Rubens, former decorated amateur Ruben Villa (15-0, 5 Նոկաուտով) handed Colombian Ruben Cervera (10-1, 9 Նոկաուտով) his first career defeat scoring a dominating unanimous decision, 80-72 on all three scorecards in the eight-round featherweight co-feature bout.See fight highlightsHERE.

The 21-year-old two-time Junior Olympic National Champion and the 2014 իսկ 2015 National Golden Gloves Champion from Salinas, Կալիֆոռնիա, Villa outworked and outperformed the slower but determined Cervera en route to a decisive decision victory.

“It felt good fighting on the big stage and I got the victory against a very tough undefeated fighter,” the one-time Olympic alternate Villa said. “I felt I controlled the entire fight with my superior boxing skills. I’m ready to step up to the next level. I’m taking on all comers no matter who they are, I feel I’m the best featherweight in the world.”

In the sixth round, Villa got to work featuring a strong right hand and following up with jabs and combinations that seemed to buzz Cevera, who was out-landed on punches in the round 35-5.

The jab was the key weapon for Villa as he led 105-23 in connects as well as holding a 36 percent to eight percent advantage in jab accuracy. Villa exceeded double-digits in jabs in every round but the first.

The lefty Villa said visiting Riverside and spending time with noted trained Robert Garcia has helped his game. “I’ll give myself an 8 կամ 9 այսօր երեկոյան,«Նա ասել է. “I believe in my speed. I know there are guys like [Աբենները] Mares and [Առյուծ] Santa Cruz who people know, but visiting Riverside let me see I can step in there with anyone.”

Cevera became the 182րդ career fighter to lose his undefeated record onShoBox. “I knew Ruben Villa was a very fast fighter because I saw some video of him, but I didn’t know he was that fast,” Cervera said. “He’s much faster when you see him inside the ring. I tried everything I could but my distance was off. I was able to hit them with a couple of combinations and he probably felt my power. I don’t disagree with the judges’ decision, he was the better man tonight.”

Հեռարձակման բացիչում, Cuban heavyweight Frank Sanchez (11-0, 9 Նոկաուտով) overcame a 14-minute delay between the first and second rounds knocking out former college football player Willie Jake, Jr. (8-2-1, 2 Նոկաուտով) ի 2:59 երկրորդ փուլի. Both fighters sat calmly on their stools as local promoters worked to repair two of the ropes that had fallen from their post.See fight highlightsHERE.

After controlling the action in the first round, Frank’s raw punches simply overpowered the heavier Jake, catching him with a glancing right to the head and a cuffing hook to the body that caused Jake to fall face-first to the canvas and the fight was waved off with just one second remaining in the second round.

Sanchez was the more accurate fighter landing 39 percent of his power shots to Jake’s 25 տոկոս. He also outlanded the Indianapolis native in total connects (28-15) and in landed power shots (20-14).

“I wanted to show the world that I’m the new Cuban boxing sensation,” said Sanchez, who grew up in Guantanamo, Կուբա, and now resides in Miami. “I didn’t let the ring rope delay affect my performance. I was ready to go no matter what happened. My manager the great Richard Steele [former boxing referee] is already putting together my next fight. I’m coming for everyone in the heavyweight division. All contenders better watch out.”

The event was promoted by Devin Haney Promotions and Bishop Promotions LLC, in association with Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing. The full telecast will replay on Monday, Հունվար 14 ի 10 կեսօրից. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.

DEVIN HANEY:

“This is a 10-round fight for the WBO Intercontinental and WBC International belts, so it’s a big deal. This is a true step up for me.

“It’s important for me build a name in different areas of the country. I’ve fought in Southern California and Philadelphia, and now I’m fighting in Louisiana. This fight I will show who Devin Haney is. In this fight I’ll showcase my skills and I’ll show my full arsenal.

“My style is not a style that people want to fight. I will fight whoever is out there. We haven’t been getting a lot call backs. I’ve had other offers from all the top promotion companies, but I want to remain independent and make my own decisions.

“My opponent has an awkward style. I know he has a lot of confidence and he thinks he can beat me. That’s great for him, but he hasn’t faced anyone with my combination of speed and power.

“At the end of my career I think it would be great if the world continued to say, ‘I don’t know if he can take a punch.’ That would be the goal.”

XOLISANI NDONGENI:

“I’ve trained and sparred with guys at Mayweather’s gym in Las Vegas for four months in 2017. I learned a lot got some great experience.

“I see a young, good prospect in Devin Haney. I just have to keep to my game plan. He doesn’t realize how fast I am. I’ll show some different looks, and know what he’s planning to do. Whatever Haney brings, I’ll adjust.

“I’ve been in some deep waters and I have more rounds than Haney. That experience will pay off for me.

“I’ve been knocked down once in my career. It was early and I came back to knock him down five times and won the fight.

“Haney wants to be called a contender. I’ve been a contender and I know what it takes to be at the top level of the sport. I’ve never taken a fight I wasn’t prepared for or thought that I couldn’t win.”

RUBEN VILLA

“This is exciting and what we’ve been working toward. The contracted weight is 128 for this fight, but I’m a natural featherweight at 126. I’m a southpaw but a natural righty. I throw a lot of jabs, որ իմ ոճը.

“I’m representing Salinas and want to be a world champion someday. I’m only 21 տարեկան, and to already be fighting onShoBox is a dream come true.

“People say I don’t have the knockouts, but it’s in my mind and they will come. The power and knockouts will come.

“I once beat Devin [Haney] by unanimous decision in the amateurs. Ես եղել եմ 15, and it was in the finals of the Junior Olympics. Devin’s real slick and aggressive and he moves well. That’s how you beat him.

RUBEN CERVERA

“I’ve never been to the U.S., and I love it here. The press conference and the amount of attention this fight is getting is amazing. I’m used to watching this kind of stuff on T.V. But my mind is totally focused on this fight.

“I have power in all my punches. I’m a strong fighter who has to take a step up in my career. Ես երիտասարդ, միայն 20 տարեկան, so I’m anxious to get my career going.

“I know Villa is a southpaw. I’ve fought lefties several times in my career and have had no problem with it.

“There is a lot of talent in Colombia, but there aren’t the resources there to have a good career. You have to sacrifice a lot and that’s what I’ve done.”

FRANK SANCHEZ

“I’m 6-foot-4 and use my height to my advantage. I defected from Cuba in 2016 and my family is still in Cuba. My brother is the only one here in the States with me.

“I’m living in Miami now and training there. That will be my home base now.

“I’d love to fight [Deontay] Wilder. I want to be world champion so maybe someday I will. His technique is a little bit wild.

“I had great amateur experience and am a former member of the Cuban national amateur team. I know that will help me. I know there’s never been a heavyweight champion from Cuba, and I plan to be the first one.”

WILLIE JAKE JR.

“Indianapolis is a tough town to be a boxer because there’s not a lot going on there.

“I played college football [for Pasadena City College] but I hurt my wrist and decided to go into the military.

«[Անկեղծ] is a little fellow. He needs some maturing. I know they do things differently there in Cuba, but we both are fighting for our families. I’m going to let him know he needs to be a cruiserweight.”
