LAS VEGAS (Május 2, 2019) – Unbeaten super lightweight contenderJuan Heraldez is looking to make a statement when he takes on former world championArgenis Mendezin a 10-round showdown Saturday, Május 18 él SHOWTIME a Barclays Center, a hazai BROOKLYN BOXING ™, és bemutatott Premier Boxing Champions.
“I have to outclass him and make him not even want to fight anymore,” said Heraldez. “I’m going to make him retire. My goal on fight night is to win and show out for my Mexican fans in New York.”
Heraldez, who trains out of the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas with coach Otis Pimpleton, made his 2019 debut in February by knocking out Eddie Ramirez in round seven of their super lightweight fight. Mendez is another step up in competition for the 28-year-old.
“On paper he’s the toughest fighter I’ve faced,” said Heraldez. “I only watched some of his fight against Ramirez, but being a former world champion, it means he’s doing something right. I don’t think he does anything better than me and I’m looking to show it on fight night.”
This will be Heraldez’s first fight on SHOWTIME, giving him a chance to shine on a big stage leading up to the Deontay Wilder heavyweight world title defense against Dominic Breazeale in the main event. For Heraldez, he sees this is an opportunity to display what he’s already being doing in the ring for years.
“I’m excited to be able to show off what I’ve always been able to do,” said Heraldez. “It’s going to be no surprise to the people around me who know what I’m capable of. It’s another stage with more people watching, but the ring and everything else stays the same.
“A fight like this adds more motivation for my future because I want to keep changing the lives of my family. Little by little, win by win and fight by fight, I can accomplish that. That’s where my motivation comes from.”
A Las Vegas-native who is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, Heraldez believes he’s ready for a world title shot and knows that Argenis Mendez is currently in his path to getting that coveted opportunity.
“If the title fight is there after I beat Mendez, I’m taking it,” said Heraldez. “That’s one of the ultimate goals and something I’ve been preparing for my whole career. I’m going to keep training hard like I always do to be at my best against Mendez. I’m going to have a great performance May 18 and they won’t be able to deny my place in this division.”

The 30-year-old Russell (29-1, 17 KO), who was born in Washington, D. C. and now lives in Capitol Heights, Maryland, will make the fourth defense of his featherweight world title on May 18 and his second career appearance at Barclays Center. Russell won his title by knocking out Jhonny Gonzalez in 2015. After stopping Patrick Hyland and Oscar Escandon, he most recently defeated previously unbeaten Joseph Diaz Jr. last May. Russell, who is trained by his father, Gary, Sr., is part of a boxing family. Two of his younger brothers, Gary Antonio and Gary Antuanne, are currently unbeaten professionals.
“I expect to send a message to everyone in or near my division that I’m a force to be reckoned with,” said Russell. “I want to unify against Leo Santa Cruz and I’m going to do what I have to do to get there. I’m never going to take any opponent lightly and right now, it’s my job to take care of Kiko Martinez before I worry about anything else. Május 18 you should expect to see excitement, stancolóerővel, kéz sebessége, fast combinations and a great level of boxing IQ. I’m the best in boxing today and I prove that every time I get in the ring.”
A native of Comunidad Valenciana, Spanyolország, Martinez (39-8-2, 28 KO) has faced the best names in and around the featherweight division throughout his career. He won a super bantamweight world title in 2013 by stopping Jhonatan Romero and has faced the likes of Leo Santa Cruz, Carl Frampton, Josh Warrington and Scott Quigg. The 33-year-old is unbeaten in his last four contests, including most recently defeating Marc Vidal for a European featherweight title in October.
“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity to win another world title and I’m thankful and excited for May 18,” Said Martinez. “Gary Russell Jr is in for a rude awakening. I have a lot of experience and I feel great at featherweight. There will be nothing better than celebrating my 50thfight with a new world title.”
The undefeated Heraldez(16-0, 10 KO) continued to rise up the rankings in 2019 when he knocked out Eddie Ramirez in their February showdown. The 28-year-old from Las Vegas earned a decision victory over Kevin Watts and a stoppage of Maynard Allison in 2018. That followed up a unanimous decision victory over then unbeaten prospect Jose Miguel Borrego in his first 10-round bout in August 2017 on the Mayweather vs. McGregor undercard.
“I’m one of the best super lightweights in the world and I’m going to show it again on May 18,” said Heraldez. “They keep lining them up and I’ll keep knocking them down. Mendez is good, veteran opposition, but I’m going to show I’m on a different level. This is a great opportunity to once again perform on a big stage and I’m going to take full advantage and steal the show.”
Mendez (25-5-2, 12 KO) most recently fought to a competitive split-draw against Anthony Peterson in March, running his unbeaten streak up to three fights. The 32-year-old defeated Eddie Ramirez and Ivan Redkach in back-to-back fights after losses to Robert Easter Jr. and Luke Campbell. Originally from San Juan de la Maguana, Dominican Republic and now living in Brooklyn, Y., Mendez won the IBF super featherweight title with a knockout victory over Juan Carlos Salgado in 2013.
“This fight is do or die for me to become champion again,” said Mendez. “Anthony Peterson ran from me in our fight in March, so if Heraldez does that on May 18, I will be better prepared. If he stands and fights with me, I feel strongly that I will dominate him and make a statement to everyone that I’m an elite 140-pound fighter.”

CARSON, Kalifornia., (Február 9, 2019) – Gervonta Davis defended his WBA Super Featherweight World Championship with a thrilling first-round TKO of former world champion Hugo Ruiz before a sellout crowd of 8,048 at Dignity Health Sports Park Saturday non SHOWTIME. Knockdown video highlight: https://s.sho.com/2URYn8t
Baltimore’s Davis (21-0, 20 KO) recorded his eighth career first-round knockout as referee Jack Reiss called off the fight with one second remaining in the first round following a devastating sweeping right hook by Davis connected cleanly and sent Ruiz (39-5, 32 KO) down to his knees.
Davis, who entered the ring to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”, elvesztegetett kevés idő, megmutatva, miért szerepel az emelkedő szupersztárok között a világbajnoki küzdelem lenyűgöző negyedik győzelmével. A 24 éves Davis a legfiatalabb, az Egyesült Államokban született világbajnok a bokszban, és első ízben szerepelt.
A promótere, Floyd Mayweather nézi, Davis gyorsan elvégezte későn cserélt ellenfelét. „Tudtam, hogy jön,"Ő mondta. „Több kört akartam megtenni, de tudtam, ha korán kiviszem onnan, hamarabb újra harcolni tudok. Amikor megérintettem az állványt, láttam, hogy a karja az arca előtt van, tehát ha horgot vagy felső vágást dobtam, az egyenesen a sorban volt.
Davis, aki most megállította utolsóját 12 ellenfelek, bekapcsolva 50 százaléka a erejű ütések, közvetlenül a 51 százalékos teljesítménypontosság, amelyet az utolsó négy küzdelmében bejelentkezett.
The late substitute 32-year-old Ruiz was fighting for the second time in three weeks as he replaced the injured Abner Mares. Ruiz was used to being on the other side of first-round knockouts having recorded 18 of his own during his career.
“As soon as he started landing punches, I could feel them,” Ruiz said. “I have a lot of first round knock outs, today was my turn to lose in the first round. It happens in boxing.”
Next up for Davis could be the winner of the March 2 Ricardo Nunez-Edner Cherry WBA Eliminator on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center. “We could do that,” Davis said. “At the end of the day I’m a fighter. I’m a fighter and I have a great team. One of the best in the sport. I believe in my team and whatever they line up, Készen állok,.
Davis told SHOWTIME reporter Jim Gray he’s ready for a sweet homecoming for his next fight. "Igen, úr. We’re coming to Baltimore. We’re going home, baby.”
A co-szolgáltatás, Mario Barrios (23-0, 14 KO) knocked out his seventh consecutive opponent as the 23-year-old from San Antonio stopped Mexico’s Richard Zamora (15-3, 10 KO). A leállás jött 2:16 in round four as referee Ray Corona waved off the fight after a barrage of Barrios punches landed cleanly and dazed the game Zamora.
With noted trained Virgil Hunter in his corner, the accurate Barrios landed a staggering 59 százaléka a erejű ütések, beleértve 37 a 58 (64 százalék) in the fourth and final round.
“He wasn’t an easy target at all,” said Barrios, who sparred with Amir Khan and Devin Haney in training camp and is the WBA’s No. 1 ranked fighter at 140 font. We just used everything we worked on in camp to find my range.”
Hozzátette: “It was an amazing fight. I tip my hat to Zamora – he’s a hell of a warrior. I wish him nothing but the best for the rest of his career. Like he said at the press conference, he wanted a war and I brought it to him. Total respect to him.”
Zamora was making his United States debut. “I came to fight,"Ő mondta. “I didn’t come to lay down. I thought I still could have fought more. I don’t want to criticize the referee. He did what he had to do.”
Barrios said he’s ready for the next big step-up in his career. “That’s up to my managerial team,"Ő mondta. “Whenever they feel I’m ready I’ll fight for a world title. Any one of them. I am knocking down the door for a world title right now.”
A televízió nyitójában, Javier Fortuna (34-2-1, 23 KO) won a unanimous decision against Sharif Bogere (32-2, 20 KO) egy 10 körös viadal könnyű. All three judges scored the fight 96-93 in favor of Fortuna.
The southpaw Fortuna, of Braintree, Mass, by way of the Dominican Republic, knocked down Bogere in the sixth round, the same round Bogere suffered a nasty cut above his right eye after an accidental head clash.
The knockdown occurred after a powerful left uppercut by Fortuna dazed Bogere, who appeared to be pushed down and touched his glove on the canvas. Referee Edward Collantes scored it a knockdown, giving Fortuna the 10-8 kerek.
"(The knock down) was correct,”Mondta Fortuna, who said he would love a future shot against Davis. “I saw his eyes were a little glossy and his legs buckled a bit. When I saw that he was cut, the game plan changed again and we had to work again to attack the cut.”
Originally from Uganda but now living in Las Vegas, Bogere gave himself a seven out of 10 grade. “I think I won the fight,"Ő mondta. “Even the knockdown was bull. He kept coming at me with the head. He kept trying to head butt me. The challenge was that there was blood in my eye. The first couple of rounds I was boxing him easily.”
At the midway point of the fight, Fortuna began pulling away winning rounds six, seven and eight on SHOWTIME Steve Farhood’s unofficial scorecard as Bogere continued to fade, although coming back to win round nine on Farhood’s card.
In the power punch category, Fortuna connected on 89 a 310 punches for 29 percent while Bogere landed 59 a 317 for just 19 százalék. Bogere was riding a 13-fight winning streak over the past six years coming into the fight.
“What I want right now is a contract so I can fight Gervonta Davis wherever. Lomachenko, any of them,”Mondta Fortuna, who had a No Decision against Adrian Granados last June on SHOWTIME after falling out of the ring in the fourth round suffering a head and neck injury.
SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN featured two live undercard fights on social media platforms leading into the televised tripleheader. Former world title challenger Erickson Lubin (20-1, 15 KO) knocked down Ishe Smith (29-11, 12 KO) a total of four times before the fight was stopped at the end of round three in a scheduled 10-round super welterweight bout. Undefeated super lightweight Juan Heraldez (16-0, 10 KO) stopped Eddie Ramirez (17-3, 11 KO) in round seven of a scheduled 10-round fight.
Veteran broadcaster Brian Custer hosted SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. Versatile combat sportscaster Mauro Ranallo called the action alongside Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and former two-division world champion Paulie Malignaggi.

Davis was joined on-stage by his promoter, legendary boxer and Mayweather Promotions PresidentFloyd Mayweather. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday at the Westin Los Angeles Airport before Saturday night’s event:
GERVONTA DAVIS
“I’m so excited to come back strong in 2019. This is the year that could put me over the top and put me at the highest level.
“The opponent change didn’t really affect me. In the amateurs we fought four or five times a week so we always had different opponents. I had been sparring someone taller than me in training camp anyway. I think a fighter should be ready and able to adapt to anything that is in front of him in the ring. I’m ready and I hope Ruiz is too.
“Edzőtábor volt nagy. I’m ready for Saturday night. We planned on fighting Abner Mares, but he had an injury and we hope to still get him down the line if everything is okay with his health.
“Hugo Ruiz is a great opponent. He’s going to come to fight on Saturday night. He’s been telling the media he’s going to knock me out, so I hope we get an action packed fight for the fans. I’m glad Ruiz is coming for the knockout. We owe it to the fans and I’m praying that he comes ready to give them a great show.
“I feel like I’m the fighter that can be the next big star. I’m working towards it. I’m just a kid soaking it all in right now. Szombat este, I hope everyone is ready, because it’s going to be action.
“Ruiz’s record speaks for itself. I’ve watched him and he has some pop. He’s accurate and I’m ready for it. I don’t think I’ll have any ring rust. I’ve worked with a lot of great fighters in the gym. I’m just excited to get back in the ring.
“I want to give my fans all over the world a great show. Everyone tuning in is going to see a great performance. Hopefully Hugo will live up to his word, because I’m going to live up to mine.”
HUGO RUIZ
“I’m very happy to have this opportunity. Megyek hagyjunk mindent a ringben. I have a lot of faith in my boxing skills. I trust and believe that there is going to be a new world champion on Saturday night.
“I’m in rhythm and in shape. I’ve been very active leading into and since my last fight. Davis is a tremendous champion, de ő nem megfélemlíteni nekem. I’ll be ready for him come Saturday night.
“This is a great opportunity to fight a southpaw, as I had originally been training for a lefty before my opponent changed in my last fight. I also fought a southpaw in November. I’ve been training with a lot of lefties for a while. I’m more than ready for this opportunity.
“Davis is a strong champion and I know this is a big opportunity for me to fight someone of his caliber. I’m ready mentally and physically for the greatest opportunity that has been given to me.
“At 130-pounds I feel more power than ever and I will demonstrate that on Saturday night. This is a big challenge for me. This is the opportunity that I’ve been waiting for throughout my 12-year career. I don’t plan on wasting it.”
MARIO BARRIOS
“This is a huge opportunity and I’m very excited for it. I’m looking forward to going out there and putting on a great show for the boxing fans.
“I’m ready and I’m prepared to take full advantage of this chance to make a statement on Saturday night. I want any one of the champions in this division, but I’m not looking past Zamora. I just know that the work that I put in will pay off.
“I have big things on the horizon and Zamora is in my way. I’m focused and ready to make this a great night. If he wants a war, I’ll give him a war.”
RICHARD ZAMORA
“I’m very happy and thankful to be in this fight. This is the opportunity I’ve been looking for. I’m ready to compete and I’m not going to let this opportunity pass me by.
“This is definitely a big step for me in my U.S. bemutatkozás. If I can get a win over Mario Barrios, then I would be able to reach a lot of dreams that I have.
“I come well prepared and I’m expecting a war. I’m going to be ready to go and battle until the end. You’ll see that I’m going to leave it all in the ring.”
JAVIER FORTUNA
“I’m going to give the best that I have in the ring. I’m going against a good boxer with a good record, but it doesn’t matter what obstacles are in front of me. I’m going to come through with a big win on Saturday night.
“We have a new team and a new trainer that is going to give the fans the best Javier Fortuna possible on Saturday.
“A victory against Sharif Bogere is very important for me and a stepping stone to where I want to get. It’s going to be a difficult fight, but I’m ready to make this a very tough night for him.”
SHARIF BOGERE
“We are going to make this a great fight on Saturday. Fortuna is a good fighter and tough guy. I expect him to bring a lot of fireworks. I’m prepared for it and I have the game plan to win.
“Every day is a tough test in life. This is going to be just another fight. I’m prepared and I have a great team behind me. I’m coming on Saturday night for what belongs to me.
“Fortuna has a big name and is a step up for me. This win will put me up there toward the top and I’ll be prepared for whatever challenge comes after that.”
FLOYD Mayweather, Elnöke Mayweather Promotions
“It’s great to be here with so many young talented fighters. I could remember 23 years ago when I was in that same position. When you’re in this position you have to take advantage of it. Opportunities like this come once in a lifetime. You must go out there and give it your all.
“I want to see these fighters become great and become stars. The records that I’ve set were made to be broken.
“I remember when Gervonta Davis first came to my gym. He worked hard and believed in himself. Sometimes we did two-a-days. If we didn’t think the job was done right, we’d come back and correct it. We continue to strive every day to be the best we possibly can be. Gervonta works extremely hard, but he can’t take anything for granted in this fight.
“I think Hugo Ruiz is more dangerous opponent than Abner Mares. Abner is a tremendous fighter, but Ruiz is very tough and he has good knockout power. This is a great matchup and the kind that people want to see. It’s all about putting on great shows and Saturday will be another blockbuster.”
Leonard Ellerbe, Vezérigazgatója Mayweather Promotions
“We have a great event this Saturday night with great fights from top to bottom of this card. This is going to be a great night of boxing.
“Gervonta Davis has reached goals beyond just the boxing ring. I know the impact that Gervonta has on the youth all around the world. When it comes to excitement, explosiveness and knockout power, this is something new that the fans are getting a chance to witness.
“At the young age of 24, fans have come to know Gervonta for his punching power. But he’s also a very skilled boxer. This is one of the things that he’ll be able to showcase moving forward in a number of big fights he’s going to have.
“We know he has a tough challenge in front of him. Anytime you have a last minute replacement who’s an excellent fighter, it’s a big challenge. Ruiz is an aggressive fighter and we expect nothing but a great fight.
“Gervonta Davis has the full arsenal. Szerintem, ő a legizgalmasabb harcos és a legnagyobb ütő az egész sportágban. Több kell, mint a kieséses erő, és azt hiszem, látni fogja a készségének tömbjét.”
SAMPSON LEWKOWICZ, Elnöke Sampson Boxing
“Valóban megtiszteltetés számomra, hogy részt vehetek ebben a nagyszerű előadásban. Ez három nagy küzdelem lesz. Hugo Ruiz edzőt edzett egy macska előtt, mire az ellenfél váltása oda vezetett, hogy az utolsó harcban egy jobbkezes ellen küzdött. Néhány hét múlva vezetett a küzdelemhez, Ruiz az 100 százaléka kész erre a kihívásra.
“Higgy nekem, ez durva harc lesz. Hiszem, hogy Davisnek tele lesz a keze Hugo Ruiz-szal. Ruiz harcosok családjából származik, és igazi mexikói harcos, aki szombaton mindezt a ringben hagyja.”

OAKLAND, Kalifornia. (Február 4, 2019) – Undefeated super lightweight contenderMario Barrios will look to continue his push toward a world title shot when he faces Mexico’sRichard Zamora (19-2, 12 KO) élőben a szombati SHOWTIME napon, Február 9 a Dignity Health Sports Parktól, korábban StubHub Center, Carson, Kalifornia, és bemutatott Premier Boxing Champions.
A háromharcos SHOWTIME televízió élőben kezdődik 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT, élén a szuper pehelysúlyú világbajnok Gervonta Davis védi a címét a volt világbajnok Hugo Ruiz ellen.
A 23 éves sanantonói februárban hétre növelheti kiesési sorozatát 9, mindez mióta 140 fontra nőtt. Itt van, amit Barrios (22-0, 14 KO) mondani kellett a közelgő mérkőzéséről és egyebekről az oaklandi edzőtáborból, Kalifornia.:
Richard Zamorával való meccsén:
“Zamora az eddigi legkeményebb ellenfelem véleményem szerint. Utolsó öt küzdelmét megnyerte, szóval tudom, hogy nagyon magabiztosan vesz részt ebben a harcban. Mindkét kezében hatalom van, és nagyon kemény. De magam is nagyon magabiztosan megyek bele ebbe a harcba. This is going to be a war and one I’m looking forward to. I have no doubt in my mind that I’m going to come out on top.”
On his recent training camp:
“Camp started back home with my dad Martin and he really got me ready before I left for California. I’ve spent the last six weeks training in the Bay Area with Virgil Hunter. I’ve also been training with Victor Conte and Remi Korchemny at the SNAC facility. Most, my body is in the best shape of my life. I got good sparring with Devin Haney and a few other top-level fighters. All the hard work is almost done. We have one week left and then its fight week. Virgil and I are working great together and I’m ready to go.”
On fighting in the co-main event on SHOWTIME:
“Nagyon izgatott vagyok, hogy SHOWTIME-ban ismét nagy kártyán küzdök, ezúttal a főversenyen. Nagyon sok izgalmat fogok okozni a tévében nézők számára. A stílusom rajongóbarát, és mindenki, aki ráhangolódik, meglátogatja a boksz következő szupersztárját. Kihasználom ezt a lehetőséget a nagyszínpadon folytatott harcban.”
Akkor, amikor harcolni fog a világbajnoki címért:
“Jelenleg a Nem rangsorban vagyok. 1 A WBA, szóval tudom, hogy nagyon közel van egy világbajnoki lövés. Most, a fő hangsúlyom Zamora legyőzése. Túl kell mennem ezen a küzdelemen, és akkor itt az ideje, hogy szembesüljek a szuper könnyűsúlyú osztály összes legjobb srácjával. Szeretnék valamikor ebben az évben világbajnoki küzdelemben részt venni.”

LOS ANGELES (Január 30, 2019) -Three-division, four-time champion Abner Mares has been forced to pull out of the WBA Super Featherweight title match against two-time super featherweight champion Gervonta Davis on Saturday, Február 9 after suffering an injury while training.
Davis will now defend
against former world championHugo Ruizin the main event of
SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, A lefedettség kezdődő 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT
from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California and presented by Premier
Boxing Champions.
Ruiz is an all-action
brawler who previously picked up a world title at super bantamweight in 2015
and most recently defeated Alberto Guevara in January on the Pacquiao vs.
Broner PPV event in a featherweight fight. Ruiz, aki rendelkezik 18 first round
knockouts, floored Guevara in the opening minute and cruised to a near-shutout
decision victory.
He had originally been
slotted for an interim title shot against Jhack Tepora in January before Tepora
missed weight, but will now have his chance to fight for a belt against one of
the most-feared punchers at 130-pounds on February 9. The 30-year-old from
Sinaloa, Mexico stands at five feet, nine inches tall, nearly four inches taller
than Davis, and has won three straight fights leading up to this fight.
“I trained for
three months to fight a southpaw when I fought in January,” said Ruiz.
“When the opponent changed, it was hard to adjust in 24 óra. After the
fight I immediately went back to the gym, because you never know what’s going
to happen in boxing. Vagyok 100 percent ready to knockout Gervonta Davis.”
“Hugo Ruiz has
another opportunity to fight for a world title because he’s demonstrated that
he’s devoted to boxing and his career,” Said Sampson Lewkowicz, Ruiz’s
Promoter. “He went right back to the gym after his last fight. He’s ready
for another great opportunity to be a world champion and he’s going to take
advantage of that opportunity.”
Mares injured his right
elbow during sparring at the Robert Garcia Boxing Gym in Riverside, Kalifornia.
Mares said he had experienced soreness in his elbow following the past two
fights, but nothing that had ever given him nor his team concern.
“I’m not going to
sugarcoat this. I’m disappointed and devastated that I’ve injured my right
elbow in sparring,” Mares said. “This is something that I haven’t had
happen to me during my career and the feeling is just horrible. I will be going
to see my doctor about this and am prepared to follow whatever recommendations
and rehab that gets me back into the ring. Egészséges vagyok, not afraid of doing the
work and I will be back. This is a temporary setback. Don’t count me out.”
“Boxing is a sport
of brains, passion and physical punishment,” mondta Mares’ trainer Robert
Garcia. “When you’re in the ring sparring with talented, top-class
sparring partners, the chances of injuries are very high. That was the
situation in this case. He was sparring top young fighters and he injured his
elbow. He cannot fight like that, especially in a fight against Davis.”
Anyák, who has engaged
in numerous memorable fights throughout his storied career, was seeking to move
up in weight and looking to capture his fifth world title in a fourth weight
class.
The event is promoted
by Mayweather Promotions, TGB Promotions and Sampson Boxing.
SHREVEPORT - január 12, 2019 - Devin Haney teljesítette fiatal karrierje legnagyobb tesztjét péntek esteShoBox: A New Generation, felrúgva a 2019 káprázatos év káprázatos teljesítménnyel és egyöntetű döntési győzelemmel a vereséget szenvedett korábbi dél-afrikai bajnok Xolisani Ndongeni felett élőben, a SHOWTIME-on a Louisiana StageWorks-től.
Haney (21-0, 13 KO) második körös leütést szerzett és Ndongenit viselte (25-1, 13 KO) büntető testlövésekkel a küzdelem utolsó részében, könnyedén megnyerve mind a három bíró eredményjelzőjét, 100-89 kétszer, és 99-90.Lásd a második forduló leütésétITT.
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,"Ő mondta. “Now they really can’t deny me. I’ve been saying this for a long time but now, I’m a contender.”Lásd a poszt-harc interjúITT.
A leütés jött 1:30 A második fordulóban a Haney jobb partra flush kopog a kiegyensúlyozatlan Ndongeni a vászonra. De ez volt Haney testét felvételek elkopnak a makacs Ndongeni, aki harcol az Egyesült Államokban mindössze másodszor. Haney rosszul akarta fejezni a harcot a knockout, még azt mondta az apja, Bill Haney körök között, „Megyek ütni!"
„Ő egy nagy harcos,”Mondta Haney, aki a győzelem hazaviszi a WBO Interkontinentális és a WBC nemzetközi övek. „Nem azt, hogy 25-0 anélkül, hogy bárki. Tudtam, hogy ez lesz a kemény ellenfél a kezdetektől. Ő egy nagyon jó harcos, és nem én választottam neki. 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? Azt hiszem, hiányzik belőle a gyűrűtábornokság, ami a lábmunkát illeti, amire szüksége lenne. 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 végül megadta Ndongeni kerek először a hetedik, mint szokott, néhány hatékony szervezet munkáját, hogy ellenőrizzék a kerek, bár soha nem láthatóan fáj Haney vagy üzembe neki túl nagy veszélyben.
Ahogy a harc ment mélyebbre és mélyebbre, Haney csak folyamatosan erősödik. Az utolsó két fordulóban, ő vezetett 69-28 A teljes kirakodott ütések (16-6 jabs és 53-22 teljesítmény). Az utolsó percben az utolsó fordulóban, Haney ki végű kihívás 23-3 Összesen összeköt.
„Kezdek erősebb minden harcot, és úgy érzem, az én emberem ereje kialakulóban,”Haney mondta. „Ndongeni egy nagyon tartós vadászgép. Tulajdonítom a nagy szív tartása vele a harcot. Tudtam, hogy a kiváló harcos. Azt mindenkinek megmutatta tudok harcolni jön előre, Én is box, Azt bumm, Azt csinálom. Készen állok,…senki sem megállás engem.”
A csata veretlen Rubens, former decorated amateur Ruben Villa (15-0, 5 KO) handed Colombian Ruben Cervera (10-1, 9 KO) 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 highlightsITT.
The 21-year-old two-time Junior Olympic National Champion and the 2014 és 2015 National Golden Gloves Champion from Salinas, Kalifornia., 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. A villa az első körben minden fordulóban meghaladta a kétszámjegyeket.
A baloldali Villa szerint a Riverside meglátogatása és a jól képzett Robert Garciával töltött idő segített a játékában. „Adok magamnak egy 8 vagy 9 ma este,"Ő mondta. „Hiszek a sebességemben. Tudom, hogy vannak olyan srácok, mint [Abner] Kancák és [Oroszlán] Santa Cruz, akiket az emberek ismernek, de meglátogatva a Riverside-et, láttam, hogy bárkivel odaléphetek.
Cevera lett a 182nd karrierharcosa, hogy elveszítse veretlen rekordjátShoBox. - Tudtam, hogy Ruben Villa nagyon gyors harcos, mert láttam róla egy videót, de nem tudtam, hogy ilyen gyors,- mondta Cervera. - Sokkal gyorsabb, amikor meglátod a ringben. Próbáltam mindent, amit csak tudtam, de a távolságom nem volt megfelelő. Pár kombinációval el tudtam találni őket, és valószínűleg érezte az erőmet. Nem értek egyet a bírák döntésével, ő volt a jobb ember ma este.
A televízió nyitójában, Kubai nehézsúlyú Frank Sanchez (11-0, 9 KO) legyőzte az első és a második forduló közötti 14 perces késést, és kiütötte Willie Jake volt egyetemi futballistát, Jr. (8-2-1, 2 KO) at 2:59 A második fordulóban. Mindkét harcos nyugodtan ült a székletén, miközben a helyi promóterek azon dolgoztak, hogy megjavítsanak két kötelékét, amelyek leestek a posztjukról.See fight highlightsITT.
Miután ellenőrizte a cselekvést az első körben, Frank nyers ütései egyszerűen felülkerekedtek a nehezebb Jake-en, elkapta őt egy pillantással a feje felé és egy bilincset a testhez, aminek következtében Jake arccal a vászonra esett, és a küzdelem csak egy másodperccel maradt a második körben.
Sanchez volt a pontosabb vadászrepülő 39 ereje Jake-re lövések százaléka 25 százalék. Emellett az Indianapolis-i bennszülötteket is összekapcsolta (28-15) és landolt hatalmi lövésekben (20-14).
„Meg akartam mutatni a világnak, hogy én vagyok az új kubai ökölvívó szenzáció,- mondta Sanchez, aki Guantanamóban nőtt fel, Kuba, és most Miamiban lakik. „Nem hagytam, hogy a gyűrűs kötél késése befolyásolja a teljesítményemet. Kész voltam indulni, bármi is történjen. A menedzserem, a nagy Richard Steele [volt bokszbíró] már összeállítja a következő harcomat. Mindenkinek jövök a nehézsúlyú osztályban. Minden versenyző jobban vigyáz.
