The 32-year-old Joe Goossen-trained Lipinets (16-2-1, 12 KO) of Woodland Hills, Kalifornii., showed determination in weathering the onslaught of combinations from Ennis.

Prior to tonight, Lipinets had only been down in his other professional loss which came at the hands of four-division world champion Mikey Garcia.

“Lipinets has been in there with the best before, so I wasn’t surprised he held up for a while,” added Ennis. “I knew he’d be durable. That’s why I didn’t jump on the gas right away. I just took my time and broke him down.”

In the sixth round, Ennis poured it on Lipinets from all angles as he beautifully assembled combinations. The budding superstar has yet to go past the sixth round in his professional career as he has amassed a remarkable 89% Stosunek nokaut.

This was the most difficult challenge of the rising 26-year-old’s career as Dulorme took him past the ninth round for the first time. The three ringside judges scored the fight 115-113, 116-112 i 117-111.

“Dulorme always threw back at me, even if I hurt him,” stated Stanionis, who is one step closer to becoming Lithuania’s first world champion. “I knew that if I was wild, he could have caught me with a good shot. I have more confidence in myself now because I know I can go 12 rounds with a good fighter. I know how the pressure will hit me now. Wszystko może się zdarzyć w tym sporcie, so I made sure I was prepared coming into this fight.”

W 10th okrągły, a nasty cut opened above the left eye of Dulorme which was ruled by referee Harvey Dock to have resulted from a punch. The fight came to a fantastic finish as the Lithuanian prospect went for the knockout in the 12th round but the veteran Dulorme did not subdue to the pressure.

I waited a long time for the opportunity to get back in the ring and it’s exciting to win in my first fight on this stage fighting on SHOWTIME,” said Ancajas. “This was my toughest fight so far. It was the hardest of any of my nine defenses and it’s exciting that it was on a big card. I trained hard for this opportunity and it feels great to get the win.”

He’s a good guy so I’m rooting for him. But if I have to fight him, I know he’s tough. I’m in this tournament and I ran through another tournament before. I had fun so that’s why I came down here. It doesn’t matter who’s in my way. I want that belt back and this was the first step right here.

“I’m coming there to take a win home to Philadelphia and look good doing it, by any means,” – Ennis

Rising Welterweight Star Ennis Battles Former World Champion Sergey Lipinets Saturday, Kwiecień 10 Żyją w telewizji Showtime® in a Premier Boxing Champions Event

PHILADELPHIA (Kwiecień 1, 2021) - Niepokonany półśredniej Jaron „Boots” Ennis will look to cement his status as a rising star in the welterweight division when he takes on rugged former world champion Sergey Lipinets in a 12-round battle that headlines action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Kwiecień 10 z Mohegan Sun Arena w Uncasville, Conn. w wydarzeniu Premier Boxing Champions.

The 23-year-old Ennis will be facing the toughest competition of his career in Lipinets, as he enters the ring in his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event. Representing the fighting city of Philadelphia, Ennis has used sublime boxing skills and power in both hands to make his claim as the city’s next great champion.

Ennis put together a 16-fight knockout streak that included becoming the first person to stop Juan Carlos Abreu when he blasted out the longtime challenger in the sixth round in August 2020. Ennis was unable to extend that streak in December 2020, when his fight against Chris van Heerden was declared a no-contest after round one due to a clash of heads causing a severe cut on Van Heerden’s forehead.

Trained by his father Bozy Ennis, Ennis shared his thoughts on training camp, Lipinets and more below:

On headlining his first Showtime Championship Boxing card:

“It has made my schedule a little crazier. Being in the main event on SHOWTIME brings more attention, but I like it. I like being in the spotlight. I like to shine, so it’s nothing new to me. Now it’s fight time. I am locked in and ready to rock and roll.”

On training camp:

“We always do four-minute rounds in camp. I’ve been doing that since I was a baby. That’s another reason why I don’t sit down when I fight, because I am so used to the four-minute rounds. The three-minute rounds go by real fast on fight night. One thing we added this camp was the underwater treadmill work.”

On his final preparations:

“The week before the fight, we are winding it down and sharpening up. It’s been a great training camp. I have been getting better and better each and every day, and I can’t wait to perform next Saturday.”

On facing his first former world champion:

"On jest dobrym zawodnikiem, but it doesn’t mean anything to me. It’s just another day in the office. He’s a regular person just like anyone else.”

On Sergey calling him a ‘typical Philly fighter’:

“I guess he knows I’m tough, gritty and I’m ready to rumble. I’m coming there to take a win home to Philadelphia and look good doing it, by any means.”

On his knockout power:

“I don’t think I have my man strength yet. I feel it will be one or two more years until I fully have my man strength. The crazy part is, I feel like in a fight, I still haven’t thrown a real power shot and really sat down on a punch yet. Everything I’ve been knocking guys out with has been all natural strength.”

On how he views his knockout streak:

“Some people might look at a knockout on April 10 a 17th consecutive knockout, some might view it as the start of a new knockout streak. Dla mnie, I don’t really care as long as I come out victorious. That’s all that matters to me. I’m not looking for a knockout but I’m going to take it if it comes.”

Hard-Hitting Welterweights Eimantas Stanionis and Thomas Dulorme Duel in WBA Title Eliminator; IBF Junior Bantamweight Champion Jerwin Ancajas Defends Title Against Jonathan Rodríguez in Televised Opener

NEW YORK - marzec 17, 2021 – Rising welterweight star Jaron „Boots” Ennis faces his most difficult test in pursuit of a world title shot as he headlines his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® przeciwko byłym mistrzem świata Sergey Lipinets. These formidable contenders meet in a 12-round, crossroads fight with welterweight world title implications on Saturday, Kwiecień 10 żyć na SHOWTIME na 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. w wydarzeniu Premier Boxing Champions.

W co-MISTRZOSTWA BOXING funkcji SHOWTIME, a pair of hard-hitting welterweights square off as Eimantas Stanionis takes another step up in class as he faces former world title challenger Thomas Dulorme in a 12-round WBA Welterweight Title Eliminator. The telecast opener features IBF Junior Bantamweight World Champion Jerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas broniąc swojego tytułu przeciwko Jonathan Rodríguez w 12-rundowej walce.

Wydarzenie jest promowane przez TGB Promotions. Ennis vs. Lipinets is promoted in association with D&D Boks.

“Ennis vs. Lipinets is a fantastic fight in the welterweight division that pits an ascending force in Ennis against a former world champion in Lipinets,- powiedział Tom Brown, Prezes TGB Promocje. “It’s a very competitive fight that presents a fascinating clash of styles and will have big implications on the future of the 147-pound division. Another sensational young welterweight will look for a career best win in the co-feature, as Eimantas Stanionis takes on his toughest test to date in the veteran Thomas Dulorme. Adding in 115-pound champion Jerwin Ancajas seeking an impressive ninth title defense against Mexico’s Jonathan Rodríguez, and all the ingredients are in place for an action-packed night on SHOWTIME April 10.”

Ennis (26-0, 24 KO) is the latest in the pantheon of outstanding Philadelphia fighters, combining sublime boxing skills with natural power in both hands. After numerous appearances on ShoBox: Nowa Generacja, the 23-year-old Ennis has graduated to headlining his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast. Heading into his last bout against Chris van Heerden, Ennis was riding a streak of 16 kolejne nokautów. That streak ended when the fight was stopped after the first round due to an accidental clash of heads that opened a severe cut on the forehead of Van Heerden.

“I’m excited to be back April 10,” said Ennis. “This is the type of fight I’ve been waiting for. I can’t wait to perform and put on a beautiful show. Y’all will see something special out of me come fight night. I’m excited to be the main event. It’s time for me to shine!"

The 31-year-old Lipinets (16-1-1, 12 KO) established himself as a force at 140 pounds when he won the IBF world title with a victory over Akihiro Kondo in 2017. He lost the title to four-division world champion Mikey Garcia in 2018 and then moved up to welterweight in 2019. He served notice that he would be a contender at welterweight when he scored an impressive stoppage victory over two-division champion Lamont Peterson in 2019. Born in Kazakhstan and representing Russia, Lipinets now lives in Woodland Hills, California and is trained by renowned trainer Joe Goossen. Lipinets is coming off a hard-fought majority draw against undefeated Custio Clayton in October 2020.

“Training is grueling and I’m working hard with Joe Goossen to be at my best on fight night,” said Lipinets. “We have a tough, young fighter in Ennis who thinks I’m a stepping stone for him. But sometimes stepping stones trip you up, and I’ll be doing my best to trip him up on April 10. I’m just doing my best to get prepared for what I expect to be a dog fight. Every fan that knows boxing knows that this is going to be a real war and worth tuning in for. I expect we’ll be fighting in a phone booth at times, but I also expect him to try to use his reach and fight me at a distance at times. But no matter what he does, I’ll be ready for him.”

Stanionis (12-0, 9 KO) has put together a string of impressive victories as he has climbed up the ranks from prospect to contender. He enters the match against Dulorme with four consecutive knockout victories. The 26-year-old from Lithuania, who now lives and trains in California, looked impressive as he picked up three solid victories in 2019, beating Samuel Figueroa via unanimous decision and scoring early stoppages against Julio Cesar Sanchez and Evincii Dixon. The undefeated welterweight has put the division on notice with back-to-back dominating main event performances in November and December 2020, when he notched ninth-round knockouts over Justin DeLoach and Janer Gonzalez respectively.

“This is my first time fighting on SHOWTIME and it feels like a dream come true,” said Stanionis. “Dulorme is experienced and has been a good fighter for a long time. Na papierze, this is my toughest fight, ale jestem gotowa. I’ll be prepared for whatever he brings. With our styles, to będzie wojna. I’m ready to fight right now. Somebody is going down and no matter what happens, the fans are going to win.”

The 31-year-old Dulorme (25-4-1, 16 KO) has amassed a solid resume at 140 i 147 pounds during his career, climbing into the ring with world champions Yordenis Ugas, Jessie Vargas and Terence Crawford. Born in Marigot, Guadeloupe but fighting out of and representing Carolina, Portoryko, Dulorme rebounded from a loss to Crawford for a 140-pound title by scoring back-to-back knockouts, followed by a narrow decision loss to top welterweight Yordenis Ugas. The world title challenger is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Jamal James in his last fight in August.

“I’m very excited for this fight on April 10,” said Dulorme. “I came up short in my last fight for the title, but a win against Stanionis will put me right back into the position I want. He’s young and strong, but I have a lot more experience and I will show it in the ring and it will lead me to victory.”

Uncasville, Conn. - Marsz 13, 2021 - Former two-time world champion David Benavidez kept his perfect ring record intact with an 11th-round technical knockout victory against veteran Ronald Ellis in their WBC Super Middleweight Title Eliminator main event on Saturday night’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast, na żywo w SHOWTIME z Mohegan Sun Arena w Uncasville, Conn., w wydarzeniu Premier Boxing Champions.

Phoenix’s Benavidez (24-0, 21 KO) flashed brilliant hand speed, accuracy and power as he dominated Ellis (18-2-2, 12 KO) Lynn, Msza św., przez 11 rounds before referee Johnny Callas finally waved off the fight at 2:03 of the penultimate round. The 24-year-old star held a significant lead on all three scorecards (99-91, 98-92 x2) at the time of the stoppage.

“I rate my performance pretty good but I know I could have done better,” said Benavidez, who extended his perfect record to 24-0. “Ronald Ellis is a tough competitor. I just hope the fans like what they saw. I threw a lot of combinations, punches in bunches. There were a lot of times I thought Ellis was going to quit but he didn’t. Hats off to him, że jest twardzielem. It was a little later than I wanted but a stoppage is still a stoppage. I hope the fans got a good show tonight.”

A boxing prodigy turned youngest super middleweight world champion in boxing history, Benavidez turned in a masterful performance as evidenced by his punch stats, lądowanie 289 z 532 power punches thrown for an eye-popping connection rate of 54%. Benavidez connected on 50 punches in the 11th round which ultimately led to the stoppage. Both fighters combined to throw 1,403 stemple. Following his dominating win on SHOWTIME, Benavidez is one step closer to reclaiming a super middleweight world title.

“I want all the big guys,- dodał Benavidez. “Speaking for the fans too, they would love to see me against all the big guys because as you can see, I love throwing punches. I love stopping people so me versus any big name would be an amazing fight. Chcę [Jermall] Charlo, Canelo Alvarez, Caleb roślin, all of them.”

Ellis, 31, showed tremendous determination and a very sturdy chin as he absorbed the constant onslaught from the former two-time world champion. Often working off the ropes as Benavidez pressed the action, Ellis landed 89 z jego 334 szturcha.

“I could have popped the jab and controlled things a little bit more and not let him smother me,” said Ellis. “Hell yeah I wanted to finish. I didn’t want to give him that satisfaction. I could have moved a little bit more and not taken so many shots to the head. Hats off to him. He did what he had to do. Nigdy mnie nie boli, that’s the funny thing. I took a lot of shots but he didn’t damage me or have me super hurt. I never thought about quitting.”

The sports world lost an icon today as the death of Marvelous Marvin Hagler was reported hours before the live telecast began. A member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Hagler, kto był 66 lat, fought in the first main event ever on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on March 10, 1986. Hagler was honored with a ceremonial 10-count prior to tonight’s main event. Click Here to Watch SHOWTIME’s Tribute to Marvin Hagler

Benavidez reflected on Hagler’s passing after the fight: “I had met Marvin once before and he was a great champion. Someone told me he fought the first fight on SHOWTIME. Someone on my team let me know a few hours before the fight that he had passed. It’s sad and he will be missed. He was a true legend.”

W przypadku co-main, Isaac Cruz (21-1-1, 15 KO) of Mexico City earned a unanimous decision victory over Argentina’s Matias Romero (24-1, 8 KO) in a 12-round WBA Lightweight Title Eliminator. It marked the first time that the 22-year-old Cruz went 12 rounds in his professional career. The judges’ scorecards read 114-113, 115-112 i 118-109. Nieoficjalny strzelec SHOWTIME Steve Farhood zaliczył walkę 115-112, giving rounds 10 przez 12 to the rising star.

“I’m not happy about the style of the fight but I am satisfied I took the victory home and we’ve come to the No. 1 spot in the WBA,"Powiedział Cruz. “I didn’t know what was going to happen [as far as the judges]. We forced the fight at all times and it would have been very impossible for the judges to do something to me when I was the one pushing the fight.”

Throughout the 36-minute affair, Cruz constantly applied pressure against his opponent which led to Romero, the more seasoned professional, to hold excessively in an attempt to stall the pressure. Despite being warned frequently by referee Harvey Dock, the 24-year-old Romero was never penalized. During the rough-and-tumble contest, jednak, Cruz was docked a point in the sixth round for a low blow.

“He was a fighter who didn’t want to exchange punches,” Cruz added, in reference to the persistent clinching. “I was very fed up with the clinches—there was never a warning toward him. I did my best out there. Not the best way I wanted to do it but thank God we won the fight and we’re taking the victory home.”

Romero presented an effective jab throughout the fight, lądowanie 89 z 282, but it was Cruz’s power punching that ultimately earned him the victory. Krzyż, who is now the No. 1 contender for a world title shot at 135 funtów, wylądował 145 z 459 stemple mocy, Łącznie 91 strzały na ciało.

“Obviously I’m not happy with the decision,” stated Romero following his first professional loss. “I thought maybe it was a draw. Overall I’m happy with my performance. He’s supposed to the be the ‘Pit Bull’ and I went the distance. You have to take the opportunities when they are presented and I wish I would have had more time to get ready for this fight.”

In the evening’s opening bout, Cleveland’s Terrell Gausha (22-2-1, 11 KO) scored an impressive second-round technical knockout over fellow Ohioan Jamontay Clark (15-2-1, 7 KO) Cincinnati. Gausha, 33, did not land a single power punch in the opening round but worked well behind the jab, winning the round on two of the judges’ scorecards. As the second round neared completion, Gausha beautifully countered a lunging left hand from the southpaw Clark which sent the 26-year-old to the canvas for the first time in his professional career. Clark beat the count but moments later was met by a barrage of unanswered punches in the neutral corner. Referee Arthur Mercante jumped in and called a halt to the bout at 2:44 drugiej rundzie.

“I knew Jamontay was a tough kid, I’ve been watching him since Cleveland so I knew about him already,” said Gausha. “I felt like I had a chance to knock him out but I didn’t know how the fight would play out. But I feel I did good, executed the game plan. My coaches had been studying film and we executed.

“I just took my time,” added Gausha. “I was setting traps. I knew he would be open eventually, but I had to be cautious too because he’s a rangy guy, has a good left hand. But I knew there were holes in his game and we executed and when the opportunity presented itself, we landed that big right hand.”

With his emphatic stoppage win, the 2012 Olympian emerges as a contender for a title shot in the super welterweight division. In his first and only world title shot in 2017, Gausha dropped a unanimous decision to current super welterweight world champion Erislandy Lara.

“I know I made a statement tonight,” added Gausha. “I put the division on notice. I’m locked and loaded and I’m ready. I want to be a world champion so I’m looking to fight whoever I need to fight to get to the belts.”

Sobotę SHOWTIME MISTRZOSTWA BOKS telecast will replay Sunday at 8:55 a.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and Monday at 10 p.m. ET on SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Uncasville, Conn. - Grudzień 20, 2020 - niepokonany koguci Reymart Gaballo zdobył kontrowersyjne zwycięstwo w wyniku niejednoznacznej decyzji nad byłym mistrzem świata Emmanuel Rodriguez w głównym wydarzeniu sobotniego wieczoru SHOWTIMEBOXING: SPECJALNA EDYCJA z Mohegan Sun Arena w Uncasville, Conn., w wydarzeniu prezentowanym przez Premier Boxing Champions. Ze zwycięstwa, Gaballo odebrał wolny tymczasowy tytuł WBC wagi koguciej.

Sobotni headliner ostatniego wydarzenia SHOWTIME BOXING w 2020 był konkurencyjny od pierwszego dzwonka. Tylko w trzech z dwunastu rund Rodriguez i Gaballo byli oddzieleni więcej niż trzema ciosami. Ogólny, Kawałki (24-0, 20 KO) rzucił 148 więcej ciosów niż Rodriguez (19-2, 12 KO), ale nadal udało mi się połączyć 16 mniej uderzeń mocy. Uderzenia 28-letniego Rodrigueza wydawały się czystsze, gdy niejednokrotnie kołysał filipińskim Gaballo. Jednak, Dwóch sędziów faworyzowało agresję Gaballo nad generałami Rodrigueza w ringu.

Nieoficjalny strzelec SHOWTIME Steve Farhood zaliczył walkę 118-110 na korzyść Rodrigueza i analityka SHOWTIME, byłego mistrza świata Raula Marqueza, był skonsternowany decyzją sędziów.

„Nie ma mowy, żeby Gaballo mógł wygrać tę walkę,- powiedział Marquez. „W najgorszym przypadku, mogłeś mu dać trzy rundy. Nie dałem mu żadnych obchodów ”.

„Jestem bardzo szczęśliwy i błogosławiony, że zdobyłem ten pas,”Powiedział 24-letni Gaballo. „Zawsze szedłem do przodu i kontrolowałem tempo, więc pomyślałem, że to była zacięta walka, którą każdy z nas mógł wygrać.

„Czekam, aż mój zespół powie mi, co zaplanowali dla mnie w następnej kolejności. I’m going to keep training hard so I’m always ready for the opportunity when it comes.”

„To była dobra walka, but he only won about two or three rounds,” said Rodriguez. “There were two punches from me for every punch he landed. He knows he lost. Everyone knows we won. My team told me to go out and keep boxing him in the late rounds. We knew he needed a knockout in the twelfth round. That was his only chance to win.”

W przypadku co-main, Philadelphia’s undefeated welterweight sensation Jaron Ennis (26-0, 24 KO) saw his impressive 16-fight knockout streak come to a disappointing end after an accidental headbutt in the first round caused a brutal cut to the forehead of his opponent, Chris van Heerden (28-2-1, 12 KO).

With only two minutes and thirty-nine seconds inside the ring to showcase his skills, Po wylądowaniu Ennis wciąż był w stanie rzucić okiem na swój mistrzowski potencjał 22 z 57 stemple, 19 z nich to potężne strzały, gdy wydawał się być przeznaczony do zatrzymania południowoafrykańskiego van Heerdena i utrzymania przy życiu swojej passy KO przed zderzeniem głów.

„Jeszcze przed uderzeniem w głowę zraniłem go i poczułem się silny,- powiedział rozczarowany Ennis. „Wiedziałem, że jest gotowy do drogi. Czuję, że jestem coraz lepszy. Teraz po prostu wrócę na siłownię. Jak widać od pierwszej rundy, Z łatwością sobie z nim radziłem. Czuję, że wszyscy wciąż na mnie śpią, ale jestem gotowy na każdego. Przynieś wielkie nazwiska ”.

W otwieracza transmitowane, zawodnik wagi koguciej Gary Antonio Russell (18-0, 12 KO) zachował nienaruszony rekord dzięki technicznym zwycięstwom nad byłym mistrzem świata Juan Carlos Payano (21-5, 9 KO). Po przypadkowym uderzeniu głową spowodowało poważne skaleczenie na lewym czole Payano, sędzia David Fields przerwał walkę po szóstej rundzie za radą lekarza z ringu. Walka poszła na karty wyników, gdzie Russell prowadził we wszystkich trzech kartach (58-56, 59-55, 59-55).

Przed kontuzją, Russell i Payano byli zaangażowani w bójkę, w której doszło do wielu wymian ciosów. W ostatnich sekundach szóstego, i ostatecznie runda finałowa, Russell złapał Payano kontr-strzałem, który zranił Payano. Russell wylądował 86 z 243 ciosy, podczas gdy Payano właśnie wylądował 58 z 268 stemple. Russell błysnął doskonałą pracą ciała przez całą walkę, lądowanie Payano 40 do 17 na ujęciach ciała.
