La 2008 Ucraniano olímpico, Derevyanchenko tuvo el control desde el principio, manteniéndose firme y lanzando tiros inteligentes mientras Soliman intentaba desconcertarlo con movimientos y ángulos incómodos.
Soliman fue atrapado con un misil en la mano derecha de Derevyanchenko que aterrizó justo en la barbilla y envió al australiano desequilibrado a la lona.. Sin embargo, Soliman no parecía herido, mientras continuaba avanzando para tratar de interrumpir y frustrar al luchador invicto.
Derevyanchenko continuó conectando tiros efectivos y sorprendió a Soliman fuera de balance nuevamente en la segunda ronda., esta vez con un gancho de izquierda que puso a Soliman en el suelo.

Khytrov terminó la pelea con un 482-125 ventaja en golpes aterrizados al aterrizar 50 por ciento de sus disparos totales.
Esto es lo que los combatientes tenían que decir Jueves:
SERGIY DEREVYANCHENKO
“I looked into his eyes after I knocked him down the first time and I knew he would continue coming forward. I wasn’t going to drop my guard. I didn’t even feel that punch on my glove because it was so clean to the chin. But I felt the final punch.
“I warmed up more than once and that broke my rhythm. In the ring I had to get my rhythm.
“Soliman came out nervous and not very coordinated, but that’s the way he usually fights. That’s his style.
“I’m going to keep moving forward. I can’t sit and wait. We will assess the situation and move from here.”
SOLIMAN SAM
“I’m doing well. I didn’t get to warm up, just a couple of minutes, pero eso no es excusa. He did his job. That’s never happened before to me.
“He’s a good boxer who did what he had to do. No puedo tomar nada fuera de él.
“Después de cada pelea, fighters have to decide what to do next. I have a lot outside of boxing that makes me happy, and it takes the sting out of tonight.”
IEVGEN KHYTROV
“I love to fight and battle and go toe-to-toe. I executed the game plan. My defense was much better and I’ve worked hard on my defense. This was my best fight because that guy stood and fought, he didn’t run.
“I wasn’t surprised that Mendez took so many punches because I didn’t throw every punch hard, I mixed it up, but did throw some hard punches.
“I want a couple more fights then I want to fight for the world title. That’s what I’ve worked so hard to do. I’m not going to dodge anybody. I want to fight Gennady Golovkin and take his belts.”

PBC en ESPN & ESPN Deportes Doubleheader
Jueves, Julio 21
From Foxwoods Resort Casino – 8 p.m. Y/5 p.m. PT
Mashantucket, Connecticut (Julio 19, 2016) — Connecticut may not have equal status with New York City or Las Vegas in terms of being a fight capital, but the Nutmeg State has produced five Hall-of-Famers with Foxwoods Resort Casino, located in Mashantucket, Connecticut, hosting many of the sport’s greatest fighters and fights over the past two decades.
The tradition continues on Jueves, Julio 21, as rising middleweight contender Sergiy “El técnico” Derevyanchenko (8-0, 6 KOs) se enfrenta al ex campeón mundial Soy “Rey” Soliman (44-13, 18 KOs) en el evento principal a 10 asaltos de Liga de Campeones de Boxeo en ESPN & ESPN Deportes.
La cobertura televisada comienza en 8 p.m. Y/5 p.m. PT, and features a 10-round middleweight clash between powerful Ievgen Khytrov (13-0, 11 KOs) y de California Pablo Méndez (19-2-2, 9 KOs).
Connecticut’s all-time greatest boxer is the late Willie “Will ‘o the Wisp” Energía (229-11-1, 65 KOs), who was born in Middletown and lived in Rocky Hill. Energía, who fought professionally between 1940 y 1966, was a two-time world featherweight champion who had an epic rivalry with De Sandy Saddler.
Other Hall-of-Famers from Connecticut are world heavyweight champion (1926-28)Gene “The Fighting Marine” Tunney (65-1-1, 48 KOs), of Greenwich, who defeated the legendary Jack Dempsey dos veces; Ukrainian-born world featherweight (1925) titular Louis “Niño” Kaplan (108-22-12, 72 KOs), from Meriden; campeón mundial de peso semipesado (1933) “Slapsie” Maxie Rosenbloom (222-42-31, 2 NC, 19 KOs), of Leonard Bridge; world light heavyweight titleholder (1926-27) Gato “Bright Eyes” Delaney (73-11-2, 43 KOs), who was born in Canada but lived in Bridgeport.
Over the year, many other Connecticut fighters have made an impact on the sport including Hartford’s NBA featherweight champion Battling Battalino (57-26-3, 26 KOs), who was the first world champion to lose his title on the scale, Hartford’s two-time world welterweight titlist Marlon “Magic Man” Estornino (45-6-12, 27 KOs), Norwalk’s WBA junior middleweight champion “Tremendous” Travis Simms (28-1, 21 KOs), New Haven’s three-time world light heavyweight champion “Malo” Chad Dawson (33-4, 18 KOs) and world welterweight contender Gaspar “El Indio” Ortega (131-29-6, 69 KOs), Stamford’s world No. 1-welter clasificado Chico Vejar (92-20-4, 43 KOs), and Bloomfield’s 1996 Olympic Team USA captain Lawrence de Clay-Bey (21-3-1, 16 KOs).
El no. 1 Foxwoods fight of all-time, held on April 16, 2011, was also promoted by DiBella Entertainment, and was selected as the 2011 Ring Magazine and BWAA Fight of the Year. Defending champion Otros Berto (27-0) y el retador Víctor Ortiz (28-2-2) battled for 12 rondas, each getting dropped twice, with Ortiz winning a hard-fought decision (114-111, 114-112, 115-110) for the WBC welterweight title.
A close second place is the 2003 BWAA Fight of the Year, in which future Hall-of-FamerJames Toney (65-4-2) won a 12-round decision over reigning IBF cruiserweight champion Vassiliy Jirov. The action started days earlier at the pre-fight press conference when a skirmish erupted as tables were overturned and glasses thrown. The animosity continued between the two fighters and their respective camps right up to the final bell. Previously undefeated, Jirov (31-0) started fast but faded, getting decked in the final round.
En 2004, New England favorite Scott “The Sandman” Pemberton, hailing from nearby New Bedford, Massachusetts, was involved in a great 12º ronda, nocaut venidero de siempre duro Omar Sheika en una revancha de un empate anterior, por un título regional de peso súper mediano.
Otros dos N.E. Los favoritos de los fanáticos que lucharon regularmente en Foxwoods fueron múltiples campeones del mundo. Vinny Paz (Pazienza durante su carrera boxística), luchando fuera de Cranston, Rhode Island, y toda la acción de New Bedford “Sucra” Ray Oliveira. Paz tuvo un 13-3 récord en Foxwoods, destacado por su 1998 decisión sobre Glenwood Brown y su 50ºganar su carrera en su jubilación lucha contra Tocker Pudwill en 2004. Oliveira era solo 6-7-1 peleando en Foxwoods, pero no enfrentó nada más que hierro y derrotó a un campeón mundial, Vince Phillips, en sus 2000 pelea sin título que produjo la segunda mayor cantidad de golpes totales (2,989) grabado en ese momento.
Los fanáticos del boxeo brasileño siempre se volvieron fuertes cuando compatriota Acelino “Culata” Freitas luchó en Foxwoods, principalmente debido a la gran comunidad brasileña en Connecticut. Freitas peleó allí cuatro veces, todo en peleas por el título mundial de peso ligero, derrotandoZahir Raheem y Artur Grigorian y la pérdida de Juan Diaz y Diego Corrales.
Other great fights at Foxwoods include future world middleweight champion Andy Leecoming back from the brink of possibly getting knocked out to stop Craig McEwan en el 10º asalto de su 2011 lucha, Carl Froch‘s dramatic late surge in 2009 to knock outJermain Taylor (who was well ahead on the scorecards) en el 12º round for the WBC super middleweight championship, Pernell Whitaker taking a close decision fromAndrey Pestryaev (115-113, 115-112, y 114-113) en sus 1997 WBA eliminator (later ruled a No Decision due to Whitaker’s failed drug test), y Ike Quarteyovercoming two knockdowns to successfully defend his WBA welterweight title versusJose Luis Lopez en 1997 (Quartey was originally awarded a win by majority decision, but a scoring error was discovered and the fight was ruled a majority draw).
Two of the greatest boxers in modern boxing history, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. y Roy Jones, Jr., both fought at Foxwoods in 1998. En su 15º pelea profesional, Mayweather registered a third-round technical knockout of Miguel Melo, while Jones successfully defended his WBC/WBA light heavyweight titles with a 10º-TKO ronda de Otis Grant. In the Jones-Grant co-feature, IBF lightweight champion Shane Mosley successfully defended his title against Jesse James Leija, who was unable to answer the bell for the 10º ronda.

BELÉN, Pensilvania. (Marzo 6, 2016) – Julian Williams secured the IBF’s No. 1 position at 154 pounds and called out Junior Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo after an impressive seventh-round TKO of Italian Marcello Matano Sábado on SHOWTIME from Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Papá. VIDEO OF WILLIAMS CALLING OUT CHARLO:http://s.sho.com/1UJo5bp
The undefeated Philadelphia native put on a clinic, breaking down his opponent from the opening bell until referee Gary Rosato stepped in to protect a defenseless Matano (16-2, 5 KOs) en 2:24 of the seventh. Williams (23-0-1, 14 KOs) utilized a steady diet of combos, jabs and body shots in the middle rounds to weaken Matano and set up the big shots to close the show in the seventh. Video: http://s.sho.com/1QzbBBb
Williams landed 59 por ciento de sus tiros de la energía, including a staggering 76 percent in the deciding seventh.
“Maybe people will think they saw a chink in the armor tonight,” Williams dijo. “Maybe guys will come out from under the rock and get some of this West Philly work.
“Jermall has been watching my performances. Him and his brother know exactly who I am. He needs to fight or vacate now. He needs to step up, but he’s already laying his groundwork and making excuses.
“Step up and fight me. It’s two of the best junior middleweights in the world. It’s about greatness. Quiero ser grande. All of you turkeys at 154 libra, let’s fight.”
Después de la pelea, Matano took issue with the stoppage.
“He was pretty fast with his jab, but I felt like I was just getting into the fight,” Matano said. “I felt the punch, but I felt like I could have kept going. I have a warrior heart and I never want to quit.
“I’m going to go back to Italy and take a little rest, then I’ll be right back in the gym. It was a wonderful experience coming here to America. I got to fight a top-echelon fighter and I feel like I belong.”
Avtandil Khurtsidze, a human brick wall barreling forward, upset previously unbeaten middleweight contender Antoine Douglas with a thoroughly dominating 10º-TKO. Video:http://s.sho.com/21er63g
The 35-year-old “mini-Mike Tyson” plowed forward from the opening bell until the TKO at 0:33 de los 10º. The 6-foot Douglas had no answer for his 5-foot-4 opponent, a Brooklyn-based native of Georgia who is looking to become the first world champion from the former Soviet nation.
Khurtsidze (32-2-2, 21 KOs) hurt Douglas (19-1-1, 13 KOs) with a big left in the opening seconds of the third round, sending the 23-year-old face forward through the ropes. De algun modo, Douglas recovered from the first knockdown of his career and fought himself back into the fight. El Washington, D.C., native rallied to win the fourth and the fifth rounds, and the all-action sixth could have gone either way.
Khurtsidze opened the seventh with a monstrous one-punch left to floor Douglas, who again somehow survived the round on failing legs as Khurtsidze threw over 100 golpes totales. Khurtsidze, who showed unbelievable stamina to push the pressure throughout, started the 10º with a relentless attack, forcing referee Benjy Esteves to stop the fight at 0:33 of the with Douglas defenseless against the ropes.
“Yo sabía que iba a cansarse,” said Khurtsidze, who took the fight on less than three weeks notice. “I felt like I was going to catch him. Él es un buen boxeador, but he’s not strong.
“I knew he was going to be hungry. But I also knew that I was going to beat him. It was short notice but I did everything I could in the time we had. I stayed in the gym and stayed sharp.
“Whoever they put in front me, I’m ready for them. Me encanta la lucha contra. Voy a pelear con nadie.”
Douglas had entered the fight as a fast-rising 160-pounder on the cusp of a title shot.
“I feel OK,” Douglas told SHOWTME Sports analyst Steve Farhood after the fight. “He definitely dictated. He definitely had a better day today. It’s not discouraging, we just weren’t able to execute. Naturalmente, I’m crushed. It’s back to the drawing board.”
En la primera pelea de la transmisión por televisión, contendiente de peso medio Tony Harrison looked impressive in a sixth round TKO over former world title challenger Fernando Guerrero.
Harrison (23-1, 19 KOs) was the aggressor from the outset, jabbing at range to set up his favorite weapon – a powerful right. The Detroit native floored Guerrero with a big right with 15 seconds to go in the second round. The southpaw got up, but looked hurt and was saved by the bell.
Guerrero (28-4, 20 KOs) had his moments in the fourth and fifth rounds after some heedful advice from his corner, but he couldn’t get inside to escape Harrison’s powerful right. It was a clean left hook midway through the sixth that ultimately finished Guerrero. After Harrison dropped Guerrero with the left, the Dominican Republic native beat the count but had no legs and went back to the canvas after four more consecutive shots from Harrison, forcing referee Gary Rosato to stop the bout at 1:56 of the sixth.
“I threw punches back and I finished the rounds stronger than him,” dijo Harrison, que aterrizó 57 por ciento de sus tiros de la energía. “Dominé la pelea. My dad kept telling me to put the hook behind the right hand and if I had listened to him better I could have gotten the knockout much quicker.
“I was backing him up. My game plan was to take advantage of the fact that southpaws don’t fight well going backwards. I tried to just keep putting him back and discouraging him. I told everyone I was taking the fight to him. What’s not to like about me? I’m exciting.
“I want big fights, I want to go back to Detroit and I want the Willie Nelson rematch.”
Said Guerrero: “I wasn’t on today. He wasn’t faster than me, stronger than me or more skilled. I just locked up. I wasn’t listening to my corner, I didn’t do anything tonight.
“It just happens. Sometimes you have a bad day. Today was as bad as I could ever imagine.
“We’ll go back to the drawing board. I didn’t do what I was supposed to do. We trained so hard. He wasn’t as fast or strong as we thought he’d be. Today was a bad day for me to have a bad day.”

“I want to thank Matano and his team for coming all the way over here. We’ve had a difficult time getting opponents for different reasons, but I’m excited to headline this stacked card.
“When I win this fight I’ll be able to accomplish my dream of being a world champion. It’s one step closer.
“I’m going to attack the head and body as much as I can. I’ve got enough film on him to see what he’s got. He’s pretty solid. He got better each time out. But those guys in Italy don’t have the skills that I have. I think he’s going to bring it for as long as he can handle it.
“He’s an awkward fighter. He’s definitely a boxer and he can be a little skittish in the ring. I know I’ve fought the better competition and I’ve trained my hardest for this.
“I’m ready to make a statement. I’m not worried about a knockout. However the win comes, it’s great. I’m just looking to win and beat him down.
“I’m expecting a good Philadelphia crowd to be out here supporting me. Ninety percent of my career I’ve been on the West Coast and other places. But now fighting in front of my hometown fans, there’s nothing better. It’s perfect.”
MARCELLO MATANO
“I feel very good. I’ve been here since Friday so I have gotten used to the time zone difference and I’m ready to fight. My American experience is just starting and I’m looking forward to it.
“It’s been a hard two months of training for this fight. This is by far the most important fight of my career so I’ve trained even harder than I usually do.
“I know that Julian Williams is a top-notch athlete and that he is coming to give his best, al igual que yo. It’s going to be an exciting fight because we both want to get to the top.
“I can adapt myself to any opponent. I can be a boxer or I can be a brawler. But in my heart, I am a warrior and I will come forward all fight. I am coming to leave that ring victorious.
“This is a dream come true to come here to the United States. I’ve always worked hard and it’s gotten me here. I will put all of my heart into the ring en sábado noche.”
ANTOINE DOUGLAS
“You can always look forward to an action-packed fight when I step into the ring. I have an admirable opponent who I know is coming to fight.
“I’ve grown into this role and into who I am. If you asked me earlier in my career, I would have never thought I’d be here. This is great and it comes from all the hard work I’ve put in over the years.
“You will see my growth Sábado night in the ring. I plan on being victorious. The work I put in won’t let me be any less than that. I’m looking forward to the action.
“I have a very strong opponent and I think it will make for a more exciting fight than Sam Soliman.
“I just always have to be prepared for whatever is thrown at me. Esto es boxeo – there are no guarantees. We just have to be prepared for everything and do our best.
“The styles of Soliman and Khurtsidze are completely different, but we always base our offense and defense off a fighting at range and working the jab. I’m not going in blind – I’ve faced opponents who come forward. We’ll be ready for him and ready to make the adjustments in the ring.
“Una victoria en sábado will definitely put me in a position for a title shot. We just take it day-by-day. It’s not about looking at future opponents. We take each step successfully and see where it puts us.”
AVTANDIL KHURTSIDZE
“I’m very happy to be here and I’m grateful for the opportunity. I’m fighting a very strong fighter. Once I step into the ring I’m expecting a good challenge and I can’t wait for Sábado noche.
“Everything in training went well. We’ve trained really hard and we’re ready for Sábado noche.
“Douglas is a good fighter. He’s a good boxer and he has a good left hook. But none of that means anything until you get in the ring.
“Once I step into the ring, I will bring 100 por ciento. I am not going to stop swinging until Douglas goes down.”
FERNANDO GUERRERO
“We’re ready to fight. We had a great training camp and there’s not too much to say. It’s warrior time.
“I’ve been through my ups and downs, but I’m still here and I’m not going anywhere. This is for my whole nation, everyone in the Dominican Republic who is watching. You have to step in that ring for something.
“Este no es un juego. This is the only sport that you cannot play. I’m going to make this one of those fights that will be one of the best of the year. It will either be the best knockout or the best fight of the year. This is going to be memorable.
“This is the kind of opponent who will bring out the best of me. Everybody has to watch out for me. Voy a hacer una declaración en sábado.”

Here is what Julian and his trainer, Stephen Edwards, tenía que decir Martes:
JULIAN WILLIAMS
“I am extremely focused. There is a lot at stake este sábado. I am finally in the position I wanted to be in since turning pro.
“I have come to a conclusion that if people don’t have to fight Julian Williams then they won’t. It hasn’t been that frustrating though because I always have a fight on the books. I can’t worry about the people who won’t fight me. I just have to stay ready and put myself in the mandatory spot. That’s what I am going to do en sábado noche.
“It’s never any challenge fighting at home. I know exactly what I have to do. I don’t cut any corners in camp. The biggest challenge is the waiting because I am so anxious to get in there and get a win, especially in front of my home crowd.
“I always knew I wanted to pursue a boxing career, so I treat it like I want it. I’ve been dreaming about this for a long time and my opportunity is finally here.
“I’ve been a student of the game since I started watching boxing. I want to learn and I want to know everything about boxing.
“It means everything to have my biggest fight to date in my backyard. I know my fans cheer loud and it feels great to have their support in my corner.
“I know everything about my opponent. I probably know what kind of toothpaste he used this morning. I searched high and low for videos of Matano. I am ready because I know he is ready.
“He is a little bit awkward. He seems to have a really good gas tank. He said he wants to take me the distance, así que veremos.
“The last fight solidified the things that I already knew about myself. I know I am fundamentally sound and I know I am the hungriest fighter in the world.
“I always want to put on an explosive performance. It’s always about a win.
“In about nine months, Philadelphia will have it’s fourth IBF super welterweight champion after David Reid, Robert Hines and Buster Drayton.”
STEPHEN EDWARDS, Williams’ entrenador
“Estamos listos. It’s been a long four-month camp. We thought were going to fight in January, so we’ve been grinding through this rough weather early in the morning. Julian is chomping at the bit and ready to rock ‘n roll.
“We thought we were going to fight Austin Trout in December, and he saw that Julian gave his opponent a concussion and said I don’t want to fight him. It’s just that simple. We have to get past Matano and then we can talk about (super welterweight champion Jermall) Charlo.
“Anybody with two hands and a heartbeat can fight. Matano is ranked and just because he isn’t well known, it doesn’t mean he can’t fight. Él es 16-1 and they didn’t have a hard time convincing him to take the fight. The best soldiers are volunteers. Any time someone willingly comes to someone else’s country, you have to take him seriously.
“I don’t want to make a prediction, but Julian will hurt this guy very bad.”

ANTOINE DOUGLAS TO FACE AVTANDIL KHURTSIDZE IN MARCH 5 Showtime boxeo: SPECIAL EDITION® CO-FEATURE

Khurtsidze Replaces The Injured Sam Soliman

 

Julian Williams Takes On Marcello Matano In 154-Pound Eliminator In Main Event Of Tripleheader Live On SHOWTIME® Desde el centro de eventos Sands Bethlehem en Bethlehem, Papá.

 

NUEVA YORK (Febrero. 23, 2016) – Undefeated middleweight contenderAntoine Douglas se enfrentará contundente Avtandil Khurtsidze en el co-característica de Showtime boxeo: SPECIAL EDITION® en sábado, Marzo 5, vivir TIEMPO DE LA FUNCION® (10 p.m. Y/PT) Centro de Eventos Sands Bethlehem en Bethlehem, Papá.

 

Khurtsidze (30-2-2, 20 KOs) steps in to face GH3 Promotions’ Douglas (19-0-1, 13 KOs) in a 10-round middleweight bout for the WBO International title after Sam Soliman pulled out of the fight last week with a knee injury.

 

Khurtsidze, de Brooklyn, N.Y. by way of Kutaisi, Georgia, has won eight straight – including six by knockout – since dropping a controversial decision to then-unbeaten Hassan N'Dam in a bout for the vacant interim WBA World Middleweight Title in Paris in 2010.

 

Khurtsidze was scheduled to face N’Dam in a rematch last Noviembre 21 en París, but the event was cancelled following the tragic Noviembre 13 terror attacks in France. The rematch with the former world champion was to be contested for the IBF No. 2 spot at 160 libra.

 

A pressure fighter, Khurtsidze was also slated to fight last week on a DiBella Entertainment Broadway Boxing event and has been training since the fight with N’Dam was called off. El 36-años de edad,, who has also campaigned at super middleweight, is coming off a knockout victory over Melvin Betancourt last August.

 

“Avtandil is a world class guy, a former silver titlist and has been at the top of the division for years,” dijo Lou DiBella, El presidente de DiBella Entertainment. “This is a great opportunity for him and a huge step up for Douglas. Avtandil had been on his way to France to fight for the No. 2 ranking against N’Dam when the tragic terrorist attacks hit Paris, which was a terribly unfortunate situation for all. Ahora, he looks to impress in this fight against the highly regarded Douglas. The winner of this bout moves up significantly in the middleweight world rankings and will be in line for a major fight in the 160-pound division later this year.”

 

In the main event of the SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION tripleheader, Julian “J-Rock” Williams and once-beaten Italian Marcello Matano will square off in a 12-round IBF eliminator for the No. 1 ranking at 154 libra. En la primera pelea de la transmisión por televisión, prospecto contundente Tony Harrison will face veteran former world title challenger Fernando Guerrero en un concurso de peso súper welter a 10 asaltos.

 

Las entradas para el evento en vivo, el cual es promovido por Promociones del Rey, tienen un precio de $100, $75 y $45, No incluidos los gastos y los impuestos aplicables de servicio y están a la venta. Los boletos están disponibles AQUÍen www.ticketmaster.com. Para comprarlos por llamada telefónica a Ticketmaster al (800) 745-3000.
