Film je směrován dvojnásobnou Emmy® Vítěz ceny Eric Drath. Drath a Danielle Naassana, oba Live Star Entertainment, pracoval jako producent a šestnáctinásobný držitel ceny Emmy Aaron Cohen jako spisovatel a konzultant.
Kromě Leonarda, Trinidad a Roach, minulí mistři světa Ray Mancini, Greg Haugen, Vinny Pazienza a další vzpomínky na lezení do ringu proti honosnému a zručnému Hectorovi „Macho“ Camachovi:
CUKROVÁ RAY LEONARDOVÁ - březen 1, 1997; V závěrečném zápase kariéry Raye Leonarda, Camacho vyhrál TKO pátého kola: “Oba jsme byli přirozeně za námi, ale cítil jsem, že jsem větší muž. Byl jsem chytřejší, silnější, všechny ty věci, ale poprvé hodil úder, bylo to jako, Pow! A řekl jsem, 'Wow, to bolelo. “Snažil jsem se, jak jsem mohl, prostě jít dál. Když byl v nejlepším stavu, byl věcí krásy. “
FELIX "TITO" TRINIDAD - Leden 29, 1994; Název IBF Welterweight: "Poprvé jsem potkal Macho Camacho, když jsem byl." 12 let na akci v aréně v Portoriku. Byl už mistrem světa. Byl jsem v úžasu. Camacho mluvil se všemi a byl sám sebou. Jedl 12 empanadas najednou, jen abych byl zábavný.
"Když jsem s ním musel bojovat.", byla to moje třetí obhajoba titulu. Byl jsem 21 a on byl 10 roky starší než já. Měl tolik zkušeností a hrál tolik mozkových her. Na závěrečné tiskové konferenci, he sat at the very end of the table – sideways, kind of ignoring the press – and staring at me. When it was his time to talk, he just talked trash. He was such a showman. When we got in the ring in Las Vegas, like every fighter at a crossroads fight, I was a little nervous. He was such a great fighter. He was so experienced and technical. He was a little crazy but was such a good person. Pokořit.
“After the fight, he came over with his chin down and congratulated me. He was like a different person – he was so friendly and calm. ‘It was a good fight,’ he told me. ‘You are going to be a great champion. Keep on climbing.’ It was a great experience for me. After that fight, I felt something had changed in me as a fighter. I had shared a ring with Macho Camacho. You are never the same after that. He helped me be a better fighter. He was the first Puerto Rican I ever faced. The only fighter that cut me. I got my win against him the same night [Frankie] Randall handed Julio Cesar Chavez his first defeat. It was a historic night.”
FREDDIE ROACH – December 18, 1985; Camacho won a super lightweight bout via unanimous decision to improve to 28-0: “Hector Camacho was the best boxer I ever fought. His speed was unbelievable. At one point during the fight, we were in a clinch and I bit his shoulder. He stepped back, smiled, and told me, ‘That’s not going to work.’ He was right. I had so much trouble handling his speed. You just couldn’t prepare for it – a měl jsem opravdu dobrý výcvikový tábor. Opravdu jsem byl na ten boj. Myslím, že jsem vyhrál jedno kolo, a to jen proto, že jsem mu šlápl na nohu a srazil mě. Po boji, narazili jsme do sebe v hotelové hale a vzal mě na večeři do hotelové restaurace. Během večeře jsme si povídali a smáli se. Byl to skvělý chlap. “
RAY MANCINI - březen 6, 1989; Camacho vyhrál rozhodnutí o rozdělení na uvolněný titul WBO Junior Welterweight: “Hector měl zvláštní schopnost vyhýbat se úderům. Měl vynikající rychlost ruky, pohyb a reflexy. Dostal se do ringu se všemi. A byl sakra legrační. Zaprvé, Nemohl jsem ho vystát. Ale jakmile jsme byli v důchodu, zakopali jsme sekeru a pokaždé, když jsme se viděli, bylo to objetí a smích. Rozesmál všechny. Byla to dobrá duše. I was heartbroken when I heard the news about his murder. In my book, when you talk about all-time greats, he is in the top five for Puerto Rican fighters and top 20 for Latino fighters.”
GREGHAUGEN - Únor 23, and May 18, 1991; Camacho’s first career loss and the rematch for WBO Jr. Welterweight World Championship: “Camacho was looking for a tune-up fight for the big battle of the undefeateds with Julio Cesar Chavez so that’s how I got the fight. But I had studied his fights and I knew Hector only liked to fight a minute, minute and a half of each round. My plan going into the fight was to make him fight three minutes of each round. I was hitting him with body shots and he was wincing. And plus, I was talking to him the whole fight, so he was getting frustrated. So we get to the 12th round and he ends up sucker punching me before the start of the round because I refused to touch gloves, and they end up taking a point from him which won me the fight. (In the rematch) he was so sure he lost the fight, he actually left the ring after the fight. The promoter Dan Duva had to pull him out of his dressing room and basically talk him into getting back in the ring to hear the decision. He had to win that fight because that would line him up with Chavez. I thought I beat him more so in the second fight than the first fight.”
VINNY PAZIENZA – February 3, 1990; Camacho won a unanimous decision for the WBO Junior Welterweight title: “I thought I was going to wreck him. I thought I was going to go right through him. But he was much stronger and much faster than I believed. And I was thinking, ‘Oh God, I’m in for a long night.’ He got ready for me like no other fight. He was so amped and so ready. He got off all the drugs. He wasn’t drinking. He got up so high and after he beat me, he was never the same again. Hector was such a character. He surpasses me in that capacity. He was a wild guy and he was wild his whole life.”
PJ GOOSSEN – June 18, 1999; Camacho won a unanimous decision at the age of 37 to improve his record to 68-4-1: “That was a bad night for me. I had three broken ribs, and no one really knew it. Tak, I could barely breathe, let alone fight, but that’s what you have to do in boxing sometimes. As we were getting ready for the fight, his dressing room was right next to mine and they had this door separating us. I could hear him before the fight yelling, ‘Macho time!’ ‘Macho time!’ And he hits the wall. And he keeps doing that, yelling louder and louder. Dobře, he hit the door so hard it busted through and he fell into my dressing room. Tak, he gets up and walks back in around through the other opening and says, ‘Sorry about that.’ It was actually pretty funny and me and my dad and brother were laughing. To come back in and apologize when he’s supposed to be getting hyped up to fight me. I would mark him down as one of the best lefthanders there ever was, especially when he was at featherweight and lightweight.”
UNBEATEN INTERIM WBA SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION CHRIS COLBERT BATTLES HARD-HITTING JAIME ARBOLEDA LIVE ON SHOWTIME® SATURDAY, Prosince 12 IN AN EVENT PRESENTED BY PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS
Middleweight Contenders Matt Korobov and Ronald Ellis Clash
in Co-Main Event; Rising Super Lightweight Prospect Richardson Hitchins Takes on Former World Champion Argenis Mendez in Telecast Opener
NEW YORK – Listopad 20, 2020 – Two of the top fighters in the 130-pound division will meet when unbeaten interim WBA Super Featherweight ChampionChris “Primetime” Colbertfaces the hard-hittingJaime ArboledaV hlavní událostiSHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIÁLNÍ EDICE Sobota, Prosinec 12 na 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
The tripleheader, originally scheduled for November 28, will see middleweight contendersMatt KorobovaRonald Ellisbattle in the 10-round co-main event and rising super lightweight phenomRichardson Hitchinstaking on the toughest test of his young career as he faces former world championArgenis Mendezin a 10-round telecast opener. The event is promoted by TGB Promotions and Sampson Boxing. Hitchins vs. Mendez is co-promoted by Mayweather Promotions.
Nordine Oubaali vs. Nonito Donaire was originally scheduled to take place on December 12 but was postponed after Oubaali tested positive for COVID-19.
“This main event on December 12 will pit two of the 130-pound division’s most exciting rising talents against each other as the sublimely skilled Chris Colbert faces the powerful Jaime Arboleda in a can’t-miss showdown,“Řekl Tom Brown, Prezident TGB Promotions. “The co-main event will see two middleweight contenders in Matt Korobov and Ronald Ellis looking to show that they’re among the division’s elite, while the SHOWTIME opener features the exciting prospect Richardson Hitchins against the always tough Argenis Mendez in a big step up fight. These are three evenly-matched bouts that should make for nonstop drama on fight night.”
Representing his native Brooklyn, New York, Colbert (14-0, 5 KO) has quickly shot up the 130-pound rankings, taking on high-level competition in his first 14 Pro boje. The 24-year-old beat then-undefeated fighters Austin Dulay, Titus Williams and Antonio Dubose, all in his first eight fights as a professional. V 2019, Colbert added four more victories to his tally, including an explosive first-round knockout of veteran Miguel Beltran Jr. V poslední době, Colbert won his interim title by dropping former super featherweight champion Jezreel Corrales on his way to a unanimous decision in their January 2020 clash.
“I’m super excited to be making my big stage debut in the main event,” said Colbert. “It’s been a long camp, but training is going great. I’m looking to put on a dominant performance, and I’m looking for the knockout if it’s there. If I can get it, that would be splendid. I know Jaime is going to come to fight. He wants the belt as bad as I want to keep the belt. It’s all going to come down to stamina, ring IQ and who has the greater will to win. I feel like I’m the guy for the job. There’s no way in hell I’m giving up my belt in my first defense.”
The 26-year-old Arboleda (16-1, 13 KO) has amassed an impressive six-fight winning streak heading into the matchup against Colbert, with five of those victories coming inside of the distance. Born in Curundu, Panama, and now fighting out Miami, Fla. Arboleda has fought professionally since 2014 and scored knockouts over two then-undefeated opponents in 2019, Victor Betancourt and Jose Saant. Ve svém posledním zápase, Arboleda, who is ranked fourth in the 130-pound division by the WBA, bested former world title contender Jayson Velez by unanimous decision to win his first 12-round fight this February on SHOWTIME.
“Every boxer’s dream is to fight for a title and be victorious without leaving any doubt,” said Arboleda. “That is my plan for December 12. I’m having the best preparation of my entire career. Cítím se skvěle, strong and fast like never before. I’m sure it will be a very exciting fight from the very first round.”
Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KO) returns to action after losing his December 2019 clash against Chris Eubank Jr. when he suffered a shoulder injury that forced the fight to end in the second round. Korobov, who notched 300 wins as a decorated amateur, came into that fight off of a majority draw against Immanuwel Aleem, after serving notice to the middleweight division that he would be a threat when he lost a hard-fought decision to undefeated middleweight champion Jermall Charlo in December. Born in Orotukan, Rusko, and now living in St. Petersburg, Fla, Korobov was a late replacement and gave Charlo a tougher fight than many experts expected. Korobov had been riding a four-fight win streak before the Charlo fight, following his first professional defeat against Andy Lee in a 2014 middleweight title fight.
“I am excited to be back in a PBC event on SHOWTIME December 12,” said Korobov. “I have a difficult opponent, but I expect to win and prove that I am back and even better prepared. I must win against Ellis in order to get Jermall Charlo back in the ring. Samozřejmě, I believe I beat Charlo, but that is the past. Ellis is in my future, and I am coming to show I am still one of the best middleweights in the world.”
The 31-year-old Ellis (17-1-2, 11 KO) will look to build off of his last outing, which saw him edge fellow contender Immanuwel Aleem by majority decision in December 2019. For Ellis, that fight got him back in the win column after his first career defeat, a majority decision against DeAndre Ware in March 2019. The Lynn, Mass.-native is the older brother of welterweight Rashidi Ellis, and had an impressive amateur career including a 2010 National Golden Gloves championship capped off by a victory over Terrell Gausha.
“It’s time for me to show out on December 12,” said Ellis. “Korobov had his chance against the top middleweights, and now it’s my time to take advantage of this opportunity and use a win over him to reach that level. We’re working hard in San Diego sparring with Canelo Alvarez so that everything is perfect and I’m at my best on fight night.”
A native of Brooklyn, Hitchins (11-0, 5 KO) Profesionálem v 2017 after representing Haiti at the 2016 Olympijské hry. The 23-year-old has flashed impressive skills as he’s amassed an unbeaten record in the pro ranks, which is the product of an extensive amateur career. Hitchins scored four victories in 2019, before debuting in 2020 with a decision victory over Nicholas DeLomba. In his first two 10-round bouts as a professional, the southpaw has scored decisive unanimous decisions.
“I don’t overlook any opponent, but I believe I have a better and sharper skillset than Mendez,” said Hitchins. “I have all of the intangibles to become a world champion. That’s often mistaken as being cocky, but it’s really just me believing in myself more than anyone else. I will take this fight seriously like I do any other fight and continue to do what I do in order to get one step closer to that title shot. Being in camp with Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis, I’ve learned a lot. I feel like I have to one-up the competition. They really pushed me to be a better fighter.”
A former super featherweight champion, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 KO) has a reputation for providing stiff challenges to the sport’s best and has proven to be a durable contender at 140-pounds. V 2019, Mendez fought to back-to-back draws against super lightweight contenders, first against Anthony Peterson in March and then against the unbeaten Juan Heraldez in May. Born in San Juan de La Maguana, Dominikánská republika, Mendez now fights out of Yonkers, New York. and owns victories over Eddie Ramirez, Ivan Redkach and former titlist Miguel Vazquez. He has also gone toe-to-toe with former champions Rances Barthelemy and Robert Easter Jr.
“I’m facing a young prospect who’s hungry for success, but I’m hungrier today than I’ve ever been in my career and I have the experience to go along with it,” said Mendez. “I’m also extremely motivated for this fight, which isn’t good news for Hitchins. When fight time comes on December 12, you’ll witness an intelligent but more aggressive Argenis Mendez.”
