פילדלפיה, PA/ / ORANGE, כגון. (שבע. 21, 2020) – ביום שישי בלילה, אוקטובר 9, undefeated WBO number-two ranked featherweight contender וילה רובן (18-0, 5 קוס) gets his much deserved world title shot when he takes on former WBO super bantamweight world champion, and WBO number-one ranked contender, Emanuel Navarrete (32-1, 28 קוס), in a battle for the WBO World Featherweight title.


Navarrete is undefeated in the last eight-years, which spans 27 קרבות.


The fight will take place at “The Bubble” inside the MGM Grand Conference Center, and will be televised live on ESPN and ESPN Deportes.


“I have been working my butt off since I was a little kid for this opportunity, and I just can’t wait to get in there and fight for the title,” אמרה וילה, שמקודם על ידי מבצעים באנר ו תומפסון אגרוף. “Navarrete is a real aggressive Mexican fighter. He is coming to win. He was a former champion, and I am the underdog, but I have the style to beat him. We have kept the camp the same. We just treat it like it’s every other fight, just that this fight is for a world title. All my hard work is paying off. I am honored and excited to represent everyone who has supported me and my journey to become a world champion, and I plan on bringing the world title back to my home city of Salinas, קליפורניה.”


“This is what we envisioned for Ruben when we signed him out of the amateurs, to be fighting for a world title,” אמר ארטי Pelullo, נשיא מבצעים באנר. “That opportunity has now arrived, and we expect Ruben to put on a great performance on October 9th and win the WBO Featherweight World Title. I would be remiss if I didn’t thank סטיבן אספינוזה ו גורדון הול of Showtime for all their help with the development of Ruben’s career, by showcasing him on ShoBox that has helped get him ready for this fight.”


“Ruben Villa is a terrific fighter and has the ability to make his dream to become a world champion a reality. The hard work that Banner Promotions and us at Thompson Boxing have put on his career will surely pay off,” אמר קן תומפסון, CEO of Thompson Boxing. “Navarrete is a terrific champion and it will be a huge challenge for our fighter, but I’m sure Ruben will rise up to the occasion and make us all proud.”

Listen to SHOWTIME BOXINGכאן

מה: This week’s installment of SHOWTIME BOXING WITH ERIC RASKIN AND KIERAN MULVANEY podcast features an interview with Stephen Espinoza, נשיא, תכנות ספורט ואירועים, Showtime Networks Inc. In the new episode, veteran boxing reporters Raskin and Mulvaney discuss a wide-range of topics with Espinoza, including the current state of boxing and what may lie ahead for the network’s boxing programming once the current hiatus comes to an end. For the full interview, click on the following link: https://s.sho.com/3bkvFp1.

Below are excerpts from the interview with Espinoza:

On SHOWTIME Sports’ interim content plan…

Espinoza – “It is therapeutic to look forward to and make plans for things that are more reflective of normal life for us, בהחלט. Our goal is to fill that gap with a lot of the stuff we have. We have a deep library of documentaries and we are definitely surfacing a lot more of the archive bothON DEMAND and we will look at it on linear more regularly.”

On what lies ahead when boxing resumes…

Espinoza – “It’s going to be a wild ride. There’s a lot to be made up. There are a lot of fighters that need fights to happen, and I think we could be in for a pretty interesting period of time where there’s a lot of activity in a relatively short window … I think we’re going to see an action-packed, jam-packed schedule whenever we return, whether it’s in three, six or nine months – and we may see people taking a different tact on taking fights.”

On what fight you wish you could go back in time to attend live …

Espinoza – “Chavez vs. Haugen on February 20,1993 for the WBC Light Welterweight Title at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City… It wasn’t a great fight or great opponent but it’s my pick because of the legendary status that fight has within Showtime’s hallways. היו 132,000 אנשים בנוכחות, you had Chavez taking the presidential helicopter to events [ו] you had Don King getting robbed on his way from the airport to the hotel as soon he got into town. There were so many things around the atmosphere. It was one of those legendary events I would’ve loved to be at for the atmosphere.”

The weekly SHOWTIME BOXING podcast features Raskin and Mulvaney diving deep into the boxing and SHOWTIME boxing events. New episodes are release in all major podcast platforms every Monday, including Radio.com.

הנה מה שהיה ללוחמים והמנהלים לומר:

GERVONTA DAVIS:
מחשבות על גמבואה ועליה במשקל:
“אנחנו יודעים שגמבואה הוא ותיק ושהיו לו הרבה מלחמות, אז אנחנו יודעים שיש לנו מאבק קשה. הוא בהחלט מסוכן. הוא יכול להכות. הוא יכול להילחם.

“הקרב האחרון שלו הוא ניהל 134, כדי שנדע שהוא יכול להיות גדול ממני במשקל הזה. אני נכנס לזה בידיעה שהוא לוחם גדול ממני. אני רק אביא את כוחי ונצל את המעמד המשקל ההוא ולהפוך לאלוף העולם.

“אני מאמין שאני אחד הלוחמים הבכירים בעולם, אבל אני לא משווה את עצמי ללוחמים אחרים. אני פשוט יוצא ומבצע את העבודה.

“אטלנטה היא הבית השני שלי. אני בטוח שאמכור את זה.”

על יכולתו וייחודו כלוחם:
“אני בא מבד אחר מהבחורים האחרים האלה. עברתי הכל בחיי. הרבה אנשים לא חוו את מה שיש לי. אם אי פעם אקבל מכות זה היה צריך להיות על ידי מישהו שעבר את מה שעברתי. זה לא יכול להיות מישהו שפשוט התאמן כל חייהם.

“בכל פעם שאני נכנס לזירה אני מוכן להשאיר את הכל שם. הרבה אנשים לא ראו את מלוא כישורי כי לא נלחמתי ביריב שהוציא אותם החוצה.”

על הפוטנציאל שלו בספורט:
“עולם האיגרוף לא ראה את הפוטנציאל האמיתי שלי כלוחם, הם פשוט ראו את הכוח שלי. אני סוג המתאגרף שבו אם אתה לא שייך לשם איתי, אתה לא תהיה שם יותר מדי זמן. יש לוחמים שאוהבים לקחת את הזמן. אני הטיפוס, אם אני יודע שאתה לא ברמה שלי, אני הולך להראות את זה. העולם יראה. אני אלחם בכל אחד.”

JACK אדואו:
במפגש הקרוב שלו נגד פסקל:
“אני מתרגש למאבק הזה. למעשה התקשרתי לפסקל יום לפני הקרב האחרון שלו והודעתי לו שאני שורש לו. אבל זה עסק בסופו של יום. אני בא להחזיר את התואר שלי.”

על איך הוא מרגיש בגיל הזה:
“אני מרגיש צעיר 36 שנים. אני חי חיים נקיים. אני תמיד באימונים בחדר הכושר ואני משתדל לא לקחת שום עונש. נותרו לי כמה שנים ואני חדור מוטיבציה יותר מתמיד. הייתי צריך את ההפסקה הקטנה ההיא. לא הייתה לי הפסקה מאז שהייתי חובבן לפני עשרים שנה. לקחתי זמן להירגע עם המשפחה ולאכול אוכל טוב. עכשיו אני רעב.”

בהופעתו האחרונה מול מרקוס בראון:
“כל מי שראה אותי בקרב האחרון שלי יכול היה לראות שאני שטוח. יצר הלחימה שלי התחיל באותה נקודה. הוא נלחם באדם מת.”

על דייויס נגד. התאמה לגמבואה:
“זה מאבק גדול. גמבואה קצת יותר מבוגרת, אבל הוא נראה טוב בקרב האחרון שלו. אני גדול, מעריץ גדול של טנק – הדרך בה הוא נלחם, המהירות שלו, האתלטיות שלו, הכל. יש לו כוח כוכבים. הוא היה על הכרטיס התחתון שלי, עכשיו אני על שלו. הוא הולך להביא דברים גדולים לספורט וכל עוד הוא יישאר מרוכז, הוא הולך להיות סופרסטאר. הוא כבר סופרסטאר.”

לאונרד Ellerbe:
על דייוויס’ מיקום והתקדמות בספורט:
“אנו הולכים להראות לכולם כיצד הוא יהפוך לכוכב הגדול ביותר בספורט. ב 2020 אנחנו הולכים לפוצץ את זה מהמים. הצלחנו לחשוב מחוץ לקופסה. ככה מגדלים את הספורט. עשינו מאמץ מרוכז להעביר אותו למיינסטרים; עובדים עם עורבי בולטימור, המצעד שלו, עכשיו אטלנטה.

“התוכנית שלנו היא לבצע את הקרבות הגדולים והטובים ביותר שיש שם. אנחנו הולכים לקרוא לזריקות וזה הולך להיות בתנאים שלנו, ואנחנו נודיע לכולם מתי זה יקרה. כולם רוצים להילחם בטנק. יש דבר אחד נפוץ כשמדברים עליו 126, 130, 135, ועכשיו 140. יש שם אחד שנפוץ בקרב הלוחמים וזה טנק. זה הולך להיות מסע נהדר וכדאי שתעלו עליו עכשיו.

“אם הוא יכול לעבור את גמבה בדצמבר 28, ואז פנימה 2020 הוא נכנס לעולם התשלום לפי צפייה. כשיש לך סוג כזה של כוח כוכב ואתה חושב מחוץ לקופסה, לא רק אוהדי אגרוף, אנחנו הולכים לעשות את הקרבות הגדולים ביותר בעולם.”

על באדו ג'ק:
“באדו חלום של האמרגן. הוא בחור שלא נותן לך שום בעיות. הוא שם עושה דברים נפלאים עבורו ועבור משפחתו. הוא עושה כל כך הרבה כדי לעזור לכל כך הרבה אחרים. הוא משתמש בפלטפורמה שלו בצורה הנכונה. זה כבוד לעבוד עם לוחם כמוהו.

“תמיד ידעתי שהוא כישרון גדול ולפעמים אפשר למצוא את היהלומים במחוספס. כולם תמיד מסתכלים על החבר'ה שיוצאים מהאולימפיאדה. ראינו אותו בחדר הכושר והוא ממש פישל בחור. הייתה לנו עין עליו ועבדנו על עסקה עם לו [DiBella] והשאר היסטוריה.

“הייתה לנו נסיגה אחת, אבל הכל קורה מסיבה, והוא פשוט המריא מאז. הוא לוחם נהדר ואני אוהב את העובדה שהוא תמיד מוכן להילחם הכי טוב. מעולם לא היה צריך לנחש שנייה שהוא מוכן להילחם בכולם.”

סטפן אספינוזה:
“ישנם יתרונות וחסרונות בקידום מופע בתאריך זה. היו הרבה הצלחה בקידום מופעי מוזיקה באותו סוף שבוע. זה לא תפוחים לתפוחים, אבל זה אחד הגורמים שנכנסו ויש דרך להפוך את זה למשהו מיוחד וייחודי בגלל קהל המעריצים של גרבונטה.

“זה נהדר שיש מתאגרפים מיומנים אבל אנחנו צריכים, לבריאות הספורט, בחורים כמו גרבונטה שמכניסים קת מושבים. זה המפתח בהבאתו לאטלנטה. אגרוף הוא חלק מתרבות העוברת למוסיקה ולספורט. אין אתלט שלא צופה במשחק אגרוף בתשלום לפי צפייה. השימוש בזה עם אישיות כמו טנק רק הולך להרחיב את הספורט.

“יש אותנטיות ופתיחות לגבי גרוונטה. יש הרבה אנשים שהיו להם נסיגות שלא מדברים על זה, כמו טנק. לוקח סיכון לדבר על זה ובגלל זה הרבה אנשים יכולים להתייחס. זה טנק. מה שאתה רואה זה מה שאתה מקבל. זה אמיתי מאוד. זה מאוד אותנטי ואני חושב שבגלל זה אנשים מתחברים אליו לאדם לעומת לו הלוחם.”

לוס אנג'לס (יולי 28, 2018) – Mikey Garcia became the 10ה lightweight champion to unify the division with a unanimous decision against Robert Easter Jr. Saturday on SHOWTIME, and immediately afterward set his sights on boxing’s best, namely Errol Spence Jr.

Full fight highlights here: https://s.sho.com/2LzlnJ6

 

 

 

 

All three judges scored the fight in favor of Garcia,118-109, 117-110, 116-111, in an electrifying fight in front of 12,560 fans at Staples Center in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

 

The four-division world champion Garcia (39-0, 30 קוס) – who was fighting in his native Southern California for the first time in seven years – keeps his 135-pound WBC title, and also claims Easter’s IBF Lightweight belt

 

 

 

 

“I’m here for the biggest challenges,” said Garcia, 30, who unified a title for the first time in his career. “I don’t know if there is anyone that is a bigger challenge than Errol Spence. I know he’s up to fight everyone so let’s make it happen. I think it can be made. I think that’s the next big fight coming up.

 

 

 

 

“I feel I have the power and the skillset to compete in any division up to welterweight. He’s the toughest guy at welterweight so I want to face him.”

 

 

 

 

Garcia scored a knock down in the third round against Easter (21-1, 14 קוס) של טולדו, אוהיו, who was sent to the canvas for just the second time in his career. A strong right jab put Easter out of position, immediately followed by a devastating left hook sent Easter down with 24 seconds remaining in the round.

 

 

 

 

Garcia got better as the fight progressed. In the final four rounds Garcia out-landed Easter 95-34 in total punches and ended the fight being the more active fighter throwing 555 punches to Easter’s 507. He connected on nearly 40 percent of his power shots while Easter landed at a 24 קליפ אחוז.

 

 

 

 

“It’s a great accomplishment being here in L.A.,” Garcia said. “I was in control most of the fight, and I did what I had to do. I knew he was a tough opponent. He’s a tough warrior. He gave a great fight but I was a better fighter. I was in control of the fight and I did what I had to do to win.”

 

 

 

 

חג הפסחא, who went into the Garcia locker room after the fight to congratulate his opponent, was gracious in defeat.

 

 

 

 

“Whenever we step in the ring we are both putting our lives on the line and tonight Mikey was victorious,” said Easter, who entered the fight as the longest reigning champion at 135 קילו. “I just couldn’t find the timing and I just couldn’t let my right hand go. He caught me with a clean shot and I went down, but I got up like a true champion.”

 

 

 

 

 

During an interview at the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING host desk, ספנס, a fellow top-five pound-for-pound great, said he would “definitely” welcome a fight with Garcia. “I feel like that’s the best fight available for me right now with Shawn [תלבש] and Danny [גרסיה] fighting in September. Keith Thurman is still recovering and needs a tune up.

Full interview here: https://s.sho.com/2veXH1T.

 

 

 

 

“He’s daring to be great, he wants to be great, he wants to move up and dethrone me and it’s not going to happen. It’s definitely going to be an easy fight. [גרסיה] will be pound-for-pound No. 1 if he beats me. He has great skills but I see myself winning. I don’t really see anything that concerns me. He’s technically good, but I don’t see him hurting me at 147.”

 

 

 

 

Heavyweight southpaw Luis Ortiz (29-1, 25 קוס) returned to the ring with a resounding victory, scoring a devastating second round knockout (2:08) of former world title challenger Razvan Cojanu (16-4, 9 קוס)

 

 

 

 

Ortiz landed 42 אחוזים מיריות כוחו (eight of 19) while Cojanu landed just two of 13 (15%) in the short fight.

 

 

 

 

Ortiz was emotional after the fight. He told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray that just five days ago he learned doctors have found a cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa, a disease his daughter suffers from.

 

 

 

 

“Thanks to God they found a cure for my daughter’s disease,”אמר אורטיז. “My wife told me while I was boarding the plane to get here. It’s been hard to be away from them. I’m happy I won, but it’s been really hard to be away from them.”

 

 

 

 

 

Both fighters were coming off losses in heavyweight world title fights. Ortiz was fighting for the first time since challenging Deontay Wilder in a 2018 מאבק של מועמד השנה. The 6-foot-4 Ortiz wasted little time knocking out the 6-feet-7½, 269-pound Cojanu, returning for his first fight since challenging then-WBO Heavyweight Champion Joseph Parker.

 

 

 

 

 

“In my mind King Kong has not been defeated. I don’t feel I lost against Deontay Wilder. I want to fight [אנתוני] יהושע, but he only fights boxers he’s sure he can defeat. I’m going to ask the government to put me on disability, maybe that way Joshua will fight me.”

 

 

 

 

בפותח הטלוויזיה, מריו באריוס (22-0, 14 קוס) remained undefeated recording his sixth straight stoppage with an eighth-round TKO of Jose Roman (24-3-1, 14 קוס) in a scheduled 10-round welterweight match. Each of the judges, as well as SHOWTIME expert scorer Steve Farhood, scored the fight 80-70 in favor of Barrios at the time of the stoppage as Roman’s corner didn’t answer the bell for the ninth round.

 

 

 

 

San Antonio’s Barrios relied on effective body work in dominating the fight, חיבור על 61 שלו 133 גוף יריות. He connected on 44 אחוזים מאגרופי כוחו (104/239) לְעוּמַת 26 percent for Roman (34/132), who had just five body shots on the night.

 

 

 

 

"[Body work] is something I’ve been able to work on,” Barrios told Gray in the ring. “You put the body work in early and by the end of the fight they have nothing left. That worked perfectly for this fight. This was the farthest I’ve gone in a while. It was great work and I feel like I’m transitioning to the fighter that I always thought I’ve be.”

 

 

 

 

שכונות, who suffered a cut above his left eye in the first round, sent Roman to the canvas at 1:15 of the fourth round with a strong right that dazed Roman, then a left hook that put Roman down for the seventh time in his career. Barrios ended the round with a flurry of punches that left Roman stunned.

 

 

 

 

 

The 23-year-old Barrios sent Roman down again with 1:38 remaining in the eighth round. Roman survived the round, but his corner refused to answer the bell and the fight was over.

 

 

 

 

“I feel I’m ready [for a title shot)],” Barrios said. “I feel strong. I feel fast. אני צעיר, but whatever my managers throw at me I’m ready. If I could get it tomorrow, I’d take it.”

 

 

 

 

 

It was a star-studded night at Staples as current and former world champions attended the fights, including Jarrett Hurd, ארול ספנס ג'וניור, ליאו סנטה קרוז, סוסות אבנר, Gervonta Davis and Adrien Broner.

“I’m just a different type of athlete,” Porter told SHOWTIME’s Brian Custer. “When you talk about having the tools to become a two-time world champion; I have the tools, the athleticism, the tenacity the ring generalship. You will see all of that on Sept. 8.

 

 

 

 

 

“We always say that the business has to make sense [to make fights], And it sounds to me like the business has played its part. I win the WBC Championship and you’ll get Shawn Porter vs. Errol Spence.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Conga Room at L.A. בשידור חי:

 

מייקי גךסיה

 

 

 

“This will be my first title unification match. It means a lot to face another unbeaten champion. It will help my legacy and my career. I’m taking the proper steps to move forward and cement my name for the ages.

 

 

 

“There isn’t another fight in front of me right now that gets me excited other than this one against Robert Easter Jr. הוא הולך לבוא עם כל מה שיש לו. This is definitely his biggest fight and I believe we’ll be able to bring the best out of each other.

 

 

 

“Me and Robert Easter Jr. are the only unbeaten champions in the division. So in my eyes, the winner is the best fighter in the division.

 

 

 

“I’m very happy to be fighting again in Los Angeles. It’s been seven years since I fought here. To give fans a chance to see this big fight live at STAPLES Center is a great thing. I’m very thankful that we could have the fight here. Most opponents wouldn’t have come here.

 

 

 

“I’m coming back to STAPLES Center as a world champion and I have a chance to unify in my hometown. There’s nothing better that I could ask for. I’m going to do everything I can to come out victorious on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“I’m glad that Robert is confident coming into this fight. I believe that he will show up the best possible version of himself. That’s what gets me even more motivated and excited for this fight.

 

 

 

“I’m here to take the biggest fights and biggest challenges. I will be at welterweight very soon and I look forward to taking on the best there. Everyone says not to do it, and that’s what excites me and motivates me the most.”

 

רוברט הפסחא JR.

 

 

 

“I really don’t pay attention to being ‘overlooked’ or what my opponents say leading up to a fight. בחודש יולי 28 we still have to get in there and throw these hands. Nothing said by him or anyone outside bothers me at all.

 

 

 

“The only big name Mikey Garcia has beaten is Adrien Broner. I’m going to give him problems. I believe with our skills and record, the winner of this fight is the best fighter in the weight class.

 

 

 

“This can add big attention to my career. It can help me get the recognition that I deserve. I look at all my fights like a big fight, but obviously this is unification. You will see two warriors in there on Saturday.

 

 

 

“It’s been a long time since I made my pro debut at STAPLES Center. You’re going to get a lot of action and excitement on Saturday night. Expect the unexpected.

 

 

 

“I had such a great training camp with coach Cunningham and my dad. It was all boxing all the time and really what I needed heading into a matchup like this.

 

 

 

“Everyone will be able to see my hard work pay off on Saturday night. I’m not the one who likes to talk about it, I want to show everybody what I got.

 

 

 

“These are the kind of fights that I’ve always wanted to be a part of. It’s a big fight that I know the fans are going to really enjoy. I’m going to give them something to remember.

 

 

 

“Being the underdog is what it is. Only one of us can be the favorite. We did what we had to do to prepare for this fight and on July 28 you’ll see it all in action.”

 

רוברט GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother and Trainer

 

 

 

“There’s always risk in any fight. We’re very well-prepared for this big challenge and Mikey is in a great place mentally. Easter is a tall guy who I’m sure will try to use his reach and fight from the outside. But we’ll be ready for whatever he brings.

 

 

 

“This is obviously a big fight for Mikey against another elite boxer. When two undefeated guys are unifying, it’s always big. We had great sparring partners who prepared Mikey to be at his very best.

 

 

 

“We’re ready for the best Robert Easter possible. I’m not even looking at his past two performances. We’ve done what we had to do to be ready for this fight and the best version of our opponent.”

 

KEVIN קנינגהם, Easter’s Co-Trainer

 

 

 

“Robert has always been a tremendous fighter and an excellent boxer when he wants to box. We just put extra emphasis on how we want to fight Mikey Garcia. Robert has the natural skill and ability, plus the size and reach to get this done.

 

 

 

“We’re prepared to dictate the tempo, control distance and range and do everything we want to do. We’ve done it so far in camp and we’re going to bring it into the ring on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“It’s obvious for the last couple of weeks that Garcia has been talking more about future fights than this fight on Saturday night. I look at that as him overlooking Easter. עם זאת, Mikey is a pro with a seasoned trainer so I doubt he’s being totally overlooked. He better be ready.”

 

ROBERT EASTER SR., Easter’s Father & Co-Trainer

 

 

 

“I always feel very confident about Robert’s chances every time he steps into the ring. We had a good camp and I know he’s ready. He’s always ready, just like he’s been for every fight leading up to this one.

 

 

 

“This fight is going to live up to the hype. Robert is going to go out there and show the world what he is really made of.

 

 

 

“We’re going to go out there and get the win. We’re going to impose our game plan on Mikey and make it a really long night for him.”

 

לואיס אורטיז

 

 

 

“My hunger and motivation to become world champion has not changed at all. My opponent is very big, but in the ring everyone is the same size. We’re going to be smart and I’m going to do my job on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“The Wilder fight is what it is. It’s the past now, and I don’t regret it. At the end of the day I want the rematch and I believe I deserve the rematch. They’re still running from me and they’re obviously running from Wilder, but I’m running from no one.

 

 

 

“A victory on Saturday night will put me back in line for the rematch with Deontay Wilder. Fighting is what I know how to do, and that’s what I’m coming to do on Saturday night. We’re both hungry for a win and we will see who comes out on top.

 

 

 

“I learned that I need to train even harder, fight harder, throw more and connect more. If I hadn’t been fatigued, I’d still be punching him today. I threw the clock away at the gym. We’re going to be smarter going forward.”

 

RAZVAN COJANU

 

 

 

“I am very ready for this matchup. When we got this call, I was already in shape. We just had to make the adjustment to fighting a southpaw. We have about a month of really fun sparring leading up to this fight.

 

 

 

“I feel very comfortable against the southpaw, especially one that everyone is familiar with like Ortiz. I know I have the skills to take home the victory.

 

 

 

“הווילדר נגד. Ortiz fight was a great fight and I congratulate him for that performance. I saw plenty of things that I can expose. The main thing is the sharp one-two combination that gives him trouble.”

 

MARIO אריוס

 

 

 

“This is definitely the toughest test of my career. I’m very happy to have this big fight. This is going to be the breakout performance that I’ve been looking for.

 

 

 

“Whichever title is available to me is the title we’ll go after. It doesn’t matter who I have to face, אני אהיה מוכן. I’m gunning for the very best.

 

 

 

“This is a great opportunity to make my debut on SHOWTIME. This is a card packed with talent, but I plan on stealing the show. I’m going to show everyone the kind of fighter that I am.

 

 

 

“I know that Roman is going to come to fight but so am I. I can’t wait to fight in this building. All the greats have fought here and I can’t wait to put on a great show.”

 

JOSE ROMAN

 

 

 

 

“שכונות’ best weapon would be his speed and his range and I think we have the perfect game plan to oppose it. I know that I have to be patient in there because I have a difficult opponent. I’m doing this for my family and no one can stop me.

 

 

 

“A win over Mario Barrios would be huge for me. The fans can come in there expecting a war between two Mexican warriors who will leave it all in the ring.

 

 

 

“When I’m not fighting I’m going to Cyprus College and majoring in Mathematics. I’ve been really good at math since I was a kid. I’m on a great track right now in my boxing career and in life.”

 

ריצ'רד שייפר, יוֹשֵׁב רֹאשׁ & מנכ"ל ספורט Ringstar

 

 

 

“This is a top to bottom amazing card. It’s a boxing spectacular taking place here at STAPLES Center. We have a little bit of everything on this card. That includes talent from Robert Garcia’s gym, יותר 2016 מתגורר בארה"ב. Olympian Karlos Balderas, who I believe will one day be headlining at STAPLES Center one day.

 

 

 

“The televised portion of this card has a stellar lineup as well, including an undefeated Mario Barrios, who represents Texas well and makes his state proud. He’s one of the most exciting fighters in the division and will have a tough challenge in Jose Roman.

 

 

 

“Luis Ortiz is the kind of fighter that you just don’t want to miss a minute of when he fights. He is coming off of one of the best fights of this year, when he challenged WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.

 

 

 

“The matchup between Mikey Garcia and Robert Easter Jr. is the cherry on top of an amazing night. I know that these fighters are ready to entertain and showcase their talent.”

סטפן אספינוזה, נשיא ספורט & תכנות אירוע, Showtime Networks Inc.

 

 

 

“There are fighters who say they want tough fights and then there are fighters who actually take tough fights. There’s a big difference between these two. Mikey Garcia and Robert Easter Jr. are the fighters who actually take the top fights.

 

 

 

“This is the third world title unification on SHOWTIME this year. No other network has delivered this level of fights to boxing fans. That’s more world title unifications than all the other networks combined this year.

 

 

 

“Mikey is a top pound-for-pound fighter and Easter is the longest reigning champion at lightweight and probably the most avoided fighter in the division. No one is rushing to fight either of these guys, עדיין, this was an easy fight to make.”

SAN ANTONIO (מרץ 11, 2018) - מייקי גרסיה captured a world title in his fourth weight division, outpointing previously undefeated Lipinets סרגיי to win the IBF Junior Welterweight World Championship יום שבת on SHOWTIME from Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio.

עם הנצחון, גרסיה (38-0, 30 קוס) joined Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez as the only fighters in history to win titles at 126, 130, 135 ו 140 קילו.

“It’s a great feeling. Winning this fourth title in a fourth division is an honor,” Garcia said. “To get to be mentioned with Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez is a huge honor for me. It just leaves a little chapter in boxing with my name, my brother, my dad. I think people will remember the Garcia family for ages to come.”

גרסיה, who was fighting for just the second time at 140 קילו, relied on a steady diet of combos to back up Lipinets, who was making the first defense of the IBF title he won last November on SHOWTIME. Garcia floored Lipinets for the first time in his career, connecting on a counter left hook midway through the seventh in a rousing moment that sent the pro-Garcia crowd at Freeman Coliseum to their feet.

גרסיה, who won by scores of 116-111 ו 117-110 פעמיים, connected on 46 percent of his power shots compared to 36 percent for the defending champion.

“He came in exactly as I expected – a very tough, very hungry and strong fighter,” Garcia said. “We worked with angles behind the jab. He’s very dangerous, but we had a great game plan and we were able to prevail.

“I know I carry the power, but I was fighting a bigger man and he could take a punch. I didn’t want to get caught and I had to be patient.”

אחרי הקרב, גרסיה, who still holds the WBC title at lightweight, reiterated his mantra that he’s seeking the biggest fights available, regardless of weight division.

“What I love is I have all the options,” Garcia said. “I could go down to 135 to unify titles, which is what I really want to do. And in a couple of fights you’re going to see me at 147.

Despite being the defending champion, Lipinets (13-1, 10 קוס) was fighting in just his 14ה professional fight. The Russian, who was born in Kazakhstan, delivered a valiant effort against one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.

“It was probably experience that took over at some point,” Lipinets said. “Mikey is a great fighter, he can obviously crack. It was just experience that I was lacking.

“I want to go back in the gym and work on the problems I showed in the ring. There are a couple of holes I need to close. I’ll be back. It’s a learning experience.”

In a rematch of one of 2017’s best and most controversial fights, קיריל Relikh handed former two-division world champion Rances ברתלמי the first loss of his career with a wide unanimous decision victory to capture the vacant WBA Super Lightweight World Championship.

Relikh (22-2, 19 קוס) was the more active fighter and controlled the co-main event of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast from the opening bell, זריקה 1,237 אגרופים סה"כ לעומת סתם 494 for Barthelemy. Relikh, who many thought won their first matchup, consistently worked off his jab, חיבור על 103 punches per round while Barthelemy landed an average of just 41.

While Barthelemy (26-1, 13 קוס) won a disputed and wide decision in their first bout there was no controversy in the judges’ scorecards in the rematch, שבקיע 117-110 ו 118-109 פעמיים.

Relikh became just the third fighter from Belarus to win a world title while Barthelemy came up short in his bid to become the first Cuban to win a world title in three weight divisions.

“Last time I was not ready,” Relikh said. “I didn’t have proper preparation in the first fight but this time, with my new trainers, הייתי מוכן. אני מאוד שמח. I’ve waited for this dream for 20 שנים. I’ve worked hard for this dream and now it’s mine.

“Coming in we were looking to box all the way. My jab has developed so much since the last fight. They probably thought that I would run out of gas like last time, but I trained like a champion this time. Everything was geared toward becoming champion and that’s what we did הלילה."

ברתלמי, who picked up the pace a bit in the final three rounds, didn’t dispute the decision.

“My heart is broken because I came in to this fight trying to get that third world title,” Barthelemy said. “I have to admit defeat and say that Relikh deserved to win that fight, but I will be back.

“At this point I have to look forward and put it behind me.”

The featured attraction of the SHOWTIME BOXING on SHO EXTREME telecast saw San Antonio’s own מריו באריוס (21-0, 13 קוס) deliver a sensational second round knockout of אודי ברנרדו (23-3, 17 קוס) in front of his hometown fans.

“I definitely made a statement הלילה,אמר בריוס. “I showed the 140-pound division that I’m here and ready for any of them.”

Barrios was dominant from the start and struck early in the second with a vicious straight right that put Bernardo down. Although Bernardo got to his feet and beat the count, referee Jon Schorle had seen enough and waved off the bout 45 seconds into the second round of the super lightweight affair.

“I wasn’t going in there looking for the knockout, but I caught him early,אמר בריוס. “I’ve been on a good run and I’m ready to continue that streak. We’re moving up the ranks fight by fight. I’m looking to get a title eliminator by the end of the year and hopefully a title shot early next year.”

בהתקף הפתיחה של משדר SHO EXTREME, ריצ'רד קומי (26-2, 23 קוס) scored a sixth-round TKO of אלחנדרו לונה (22-1, 15 קוס) in their IBF Lightweight World Title Eliminator.

“Despite the win, my performance wasn’t up to the level that I hoped it would be,” said Commey. “He was exactly what I expected and if I had connected on more of my punches in the beginning I think the fight would have been over earlier. I was really trying to work on what we had been focusing on in camp but I just wasn’t performing well at the start of the fight.”

The fight was defined by exciting exchanges throughout, with Commey, fighting on his 31רח ' יום הולדת, getting the better early and connecting with power punches that caused Luna’s jaw to swell. Commey’s power broke through in round six when a powerful combination punctuated by a left uppercut sent Luna to the canvas for the first time in his career.

“אני מאוד מאוכזב,” said Luna. “All the credit to Commey, but I expect more of myself and I’m going to get back in the gym and come back much stronger and better.”

Luna rose to his feet but was quickly pounced on by Commey, שנחת 62 percent of his power punches in the round, and was sent to the mat again. This forced referee David Fields to call a halt to the bout at 1:54 of round six. Commey now becomes the mandatory challenger for IBF Lightweight World Champion Robert Easter, who Commey lost a split decision to in September 2016.

“It is the greatest feeling to get the win on my 31st birthday,” said Commey. “I am looking forward to fighting for the 135-pound world title and becoming champion.”

The SHO EXTREME swing bout featured unbeaten prospect ברנדון פיגרואה (15-0, 10 קוס) scoring a seventh round knockout of Mexico’s Giovanni Delgado (16-6, 9 קוס) in their super bantamweight clash.

פיגרואה, the brother of former champion Omar, continued to show the aggressive style that has defined his early career as he threw an astonishing 178 punches in the third round. That number was good for the second most ever thrown in a single round by a fighter in a super bantamweight bout, according to CompuBox.

The 21-year-old Figueroa continued to put the pressure on, battering Delgado until referee Gregorio Alvarez halted the fight at 1:55of the seventh round.
