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

“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,” Villa cho biết, who is promoted by Banner Khuyến mãi và Thompson Boxing. “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, California.”


“This is what we envisioned for Ruben when we signed him out of the amateurs, to be fighting for a world title,” nói Artie Pelullo, Chủ tịch Banner Khuyến mãi. “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 Stephen Espinoza và Gordon Hội trường 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,” nói Ken Thompson, 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.”

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, tuyệt đối. 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. Có 132,000 người tham dự, you had Chavez taking the presidential helicopter to events [và] 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.

GERVONTA DAVIS:
Suy nghĩ về Gamboa và di chuyển lên về trọng lượng:
“Chúng ta biết Gamboa là một cựu chiến binh và rằng anh ấy đã có rất nhiều cuộc chiến tranh, vì vậy chúng tôi biết chúng tôi có một cuộc chiến khó khăn. Anh ấy chắc chắn nguy hiểm. Ông có thể đánh. Ông có thể chiến đấu.

“cuộc chiến cuối cùng của ông, ông làm 134, vì vậy chúng tôi biết ông có thể nhận được lớn hơn tôi tại trọng lượng mà. Tôi sẽ thành này biết ông là một máy bay chiến đấu lớn hơn tôi. Tôi chỉ sẽ mang lại sức mạnh của mình và tận dụng điều đó hạng cân và trở thành nhà vô địch thế giới.

“Tôi tin rằng tôi là một trong những máy bay chiến đấu hàng đầu thế giới, nhưng tôi không so sánh bản thân mình với máy bay chiến đấu khác. Tôi chỉ đi ra ngoài và hoàn thành công việc.

“Atlanta là quê hương thứ hai của tôi. Tôi tự tin tôi sẽ bán nó ra.”

Vào khả năng và tính độc đáo của mình như là một máy bay chiến đấu:
“Tôi đến từ một miếng vải khác với những kẻ khác. Tôi đã trải qua tất cả mọi thứ trong cuộc sống của tôi. Rất nhiều người chưa có kinh nghiệm gì tôi có. Nếu như tôi có beat nó sẽ phải bởi người ấy đã trải qua những gì tôi đã trải qua. Nó không thể là bất cứ ai chỉ được đào tạo trong suốt cuộc đời của họ.

“Mỗi lần tôi bước vào chiếc nhẫn tôi sẵn sàng để lại nó tất cả trong đó. Rất nhiều người chưa thấy kỹ năng đầy đủ của tôi bởi vì tôi đã không chiến đấu một đối thủ mà đã mang chúng ra.”

Về tiềm năng của mình trong các môn thể thao:
“Thế giới quyền anh đã không nhìn thấy tiềm năng thực sự của tôi như là một máy bay chiến đấu, họ vừa nhìn thấy sức mạnh của tôi. Tôi là loại võ sĩ quyền Anh ở đâu nếu bạn không thuộc trong đó có tôi, bạn sẽ không ở đó quá lâu. Một số máy bay tiêm kích thích dành thời gian của họ. Tôi loại, nếu tôi biết bạn không phải trên trình độ của tôi, Tôi sẽ thể hiện điều đó. Thế giới sẽ nhìn thấy. Tôi sẽ chống lại bất cứ ai.”

JACK BADOU:
Trên matchup sắp tới của mình chống lại Pascal:
“Tôi vui mừng cho cuộc chiến này. Tôi thực sự gọi là Pascal ngày trước khi cuộc chiến cuối cùng của ông và để cho anh ta biết tôi đã cổ vũ cho anh ấy. Nhưng điều này là kinh doanh vào cuối ngày. Tôi đến để lấy lại danh hiệu của tôi.”

Về cách anh cảm thấy ở tuổi này:
“Tôi cảm thấy giống như một thanh niên 36 tuổi. Tôi sống một cuộc sống trong sạch. Tôi luôn trong việc đào tạo tập thể dục và tôi cố gắng không để mất bất kỳ sự trừng phạt. Tôi đã một vài năm còn lại và tôi nhiều động lực hiện nay hơn bao giờ hết. Tôi cần thiết mà break rất ít. Tôi đã không có nghỉ ngơi kể từ khi tôi là một nghiệp dư hai mươi năm trước. Tôi dành thời gian để thư giãn cùng gia đình và ăn những món ăn ngon. Tôi đang đói.”

Về màn trình diễn cuối cùng của ông chống lại Marcus Browne:
“Mọi người nhìn thấy tôi trong cuộc chiến cuối cùng của tôi có thể nhìn thấy tôi đã phẳng. Bản năng chiến đấu của tôi đá vào tại thời điểm đó. Ông đã chiến đấu với một người đàn ông đã chết.”

Trên Davis vs. Gamboa matchup:
“Đó là một cuộc chiến lớn. Gamboa là một chút cũ, nhưng anh ta nhìn tốt trong cuộc chiến cuối cùng của ông. Tôi là một người lớn, fan hâm mộ lớn của Tank – cách ông chiến đấu, tốc độ của mình, điền kinh của mình, mọi điều. Ông có ngôi sao quyền lực. Ông là trên undercard của tôi, bây giờ tôi đang trên mình. Anh ta sẽ mang lại những điều tuyệt vời để các môn thể thao và chừng nào ông vẫn tập trung, anh ta sẽ trở thành một siêu sao. Ông đã là một siêu sao.”

LEONARD ELLERBE:
Mở Davis’ vị trí và tiến triển trong các môn thể thao:
“Chúng ta sẽ thấy tất cả mọi người làm thế nào ông sẽ trở thành ngôi sao lớn nhất trong thể thao. Trong 2020 chúng ta sẽ thổi ra này của nước. Chúng tôi đã có thể suy nghĩ bên ngoài hộp. Đó là cách bạn phát triển các môn thể thao. Chúng tôi đã thực hiện một nỗ lực phối hợp để vượt qua hắn rơi vào dòng chính; làm việc với Ravens Baltimore, diễu hành của mình, tại Atlanta.

“Kế hoạch của chúng tôi là làm cho chiến đấu lớn nhất và tốt nhất trên mạng. Chúng ta sẽ gọi các mũi chích ngừa và nó sẽ là những điều khoản của chúng tôi, và chúng tôi sẽ cho mọi người biết khi điều đó xảy ra. Mọi người đều muốn chống lại xe tăng. Có một điều phổ biến khi bạn nói về 126, 130, 135, và bây giờ 140. Có một tên đó là phổ biến trong các máy bay chiến đấu và đó là xe tăng. Đây sẽ là một cuộc hành trình tuyệt vời và bạn tốt hơn có được trên nó bây giờ.

“Nếu anh có thể vượt qua Gamboa vào ngày 28, sau đó trong 2020 anh ấy đi sâu vào thế giới pay-per-view. Khi bạn có loại sức mạnh ngôi sao và bạn đang ở bên ngoài suy nghĩ của hộp, không chỉ người hâm mộ đấm bốc, chúng ta sẽ làm cho chiến đấu lớn nhất hiện có trên thế giới.”

Trên Badou Jack:
“Badou là giấc mơ của một promoter. Anh ấy là một anh chàng mang đến cho bạn không có vấn đề. Ông ấy làm ra có những điều tuyệt vời cho bản thân và gia đình mình. Anh ấy đang làm rất nhiều để giúp đỡ rất nhiều người khác. Ông đang sử dụng nền tảng của mình một cách đúng đắn. Đây là một vinh dự làm việc với một máy bay chiến đấu như anh.

“Tôi luôn biết ông là một tài năng tuyệt vời và đôi khi bạn có thể tìm thấy những viên kim cương trong thô. Mọi người luôn nhìn vào những kẻ ra khỏi Thế vận hội. Chúng tôi nhìn thấy anh ấy trong phòng tập thể dục và ông thực sự sai lầm một chàng trai lên. Chúng tôi đã có một mắt trên anh ấy và chúng tôi làm việc ra một thỏa thuận với Lou [DIBELLA] Và phần còn lại là lịch sử.

“Chúng tôi đã có một trở ngại, nhưng tất cả mọi thứ xảy ra đều có lý do, và anh ấy chỉ cất cánh từ. Anh ấy là một chiến binh vĩ đại và tôi thích sự thật rằng anh ấy luôn sẵn sàng chiến đấu tốt nhất. Chưa bao giờ phải đoán thứ hai rằng anh ấy sẵn sàng chiến đấu tất cả mọi người.”

STEPHEN Espinoza:
“Có lợi thế và bất lợi để thúc đẩy một chương trình vào ngày này. Hiện đã có rất nhiều thành công thúc đẩy chương trình âm nhạc vào cuối tuần đó. Nó không phải táo để táo, nhưng nó là một trong những yếu tố đi vào và có một cách để tắt chức năng này vào một cái gì đó đặc biệt và vì độc đáo của lượng fan Gervonta của.

“Thật tuyệt khi có võ sĩ có tay nghề cao nhưng chúng ta cần, cho sức khỏe của các môn thể thao, kẻ như Gervonta người đang đặt butts trong ghế. Đó là chìa khóa trong việc đưa ông đến Atlanta. Boxing là một phần của một nền văn hóa vượt qua phía trên thành âm nhạc và thể thao. Không có một vận động viên những người không xem một trận đấu quyền anh pay-per-view. Khai thác vào đó với một nhân vật như xe tăng chỉ là sẽ mở rộng các môn thể thao.

“Có một tính xác thực và cởi mở về Gervonta. Có rất nhiều người đã đã thất bại người không nói về nó, như xe tăng. Phải mất một nguy cơ đối với nói chuyện về điều đó và đó là lý do rất nhiều người dân có thể liên hệ. Đây là xe tăng. Những gì bạn thấy là những gì bạn nhận được. Đó là rất thực tế. Nó rất đáng tin cậy và tôi nghĩ rằng lý do tại sao mọi người kết nối với anh ta người như trái ngược với anh chiến đấu.”

LOS ANGELES (Tháng bảy 28, 2018) – Mikey Garcia became the 10th 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 Kos) – 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 Kos) Toledo, Ohio, 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 percent clip.

 

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

 

Phục Sinh, 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 pounds. “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, Spence, 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 [Dùng] and Danny [Garcia] 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. [Garcia] 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 Kos) 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 Kos)

 

 

 

 

Ortiz landed 42 phần trăm các bức ảnh quyền lực của mình (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,” Ortiz said. “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 Chiến đấu của ứng cử viên năm. 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 [Anthony] Joshua, 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.”

 

 

 

 

Trong chương trình truyền hình mở, Mario Barrios (22-0, 14 Kos) remained undefeated recording his sixth straight stoppage with an eighth-round TKO of Jose Roman (24-3-1, 14 Kos) 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, kết nối trên 61 của mình 133 body shots. He connected on 44 phần trăm các cú đấm quyền lực của mình (104/239) compared to 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.”

 

 

 

 

Khu dân cư, 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. Tôi còn trẻ, 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, Errol Spence Jr., Leo Santa Cruz, Abner Mares, Gervonta Davis and Adrien Broner.

 

 

 

 

 

Shawn Porter was also in attendance. It was recently announced that Porter and fellow former 147-pound world title holder Danny Garcia will square off against one another for the vacant WBC Welterweight World Championship live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Bảy. 8 từ Trung tâm Barclays ở Brooklyn, N.Y..

 

 

 

 

“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.”

 

 

 

 

 

In streaming coverage of live undercard fights on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN, undefeated super lightweight prospect Fabian Maidana (16-0, 12 Kos), the brother of former champion Marcos Maidana, recorded a seventh-round stoppage (2:32) against former world title challenger Andrey Klimov (19-5, 9 Kos).

 

 

 

 

 

Also on the live stream, 2016 La Mỹ. Olympian and unbeaten prospect Karlos Balderas (6-0, 5 Kos) dominated 54-fight veteran Giovanni Caro (27-24, 21 Kos) scoring a stoppage at 2:09 of the fourth round in a scheduled six-round super featherweight bout.

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

 

Mikey GARCIA

 

 

 

“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. He’s going to come with everything he has. 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.”

 

ROBERT EASTER JR.

 

 

 

“I really don’t pay attention to being ‘overlooked’ or what my opponents say leading up to a fight. Ngày 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.”

 

ROBERT 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 CUNNINGHAM, 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. Tuy nhiên, 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.”

 

LUIS ORTIZ

 

 

 

“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.

 

 

 

“The Wilder vs. 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 Barrios

 

 

 

“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, Tôi sẽ sẵn sàng. 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

 

 

 

 

“Khu dân cư’ 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.”

 

RICHARD Schaefer, Chủ tịch & Giám đốc điều hành của Ringstar thể thao

 

 

 

“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, hơn 2016 La Mỹ. 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.”

STEPHEN Espinoza, President Sports & Lập trình tổ chức sự kiện, 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, nhưng, this was an easy fight to make.”

SAN ANTONIO (Tháng ba 11, 2018) - Mikey Garcia captured a world title in his fourth weight division, outpointing previously undefeated Sergey Lipinets to win the IBF Junior Welterweight World Championship Thứ bảy on SHOWTIME from Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio.

Với chiến thắng, Garcia (38-0, 30 Kos) joined Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez as the only fighters in history to win titles at 126, 130, 135 và 140 pounds.

“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.”

Garcia, who was fighting for just the second time at 140 pounds, 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.

Garcia, who won by scores of 116-111 và 117-110 hai lần, kết nối trên 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.”

Sau khi chiến đấu, Garcia, 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 Kos) was fighting in just his 14th 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, Kiryl Relikh handed former two-division world champion Rances Barthelemy 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 Kos) was the more active fighter and controlled the co-main event of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast from the opening bell, sự lột da 1,237 total punches compared to just 494 for Barthelemy. Relikh, who many thought won their first matchup, consistently worked off his jab, kết nối trên 103 punches per round while Barthelemy landed an average of just 41.

While Barthelemy (26-1, 13 Kos) won a disputed and wide decision in their first bout there was no controversy in the judges’ scorecards in the rematch, mà đã được ghi 117-110 và 118-109 hai lần.

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, Tôi đã sẵn sàng. I’m very happy. I’ve waited for this dream for 20 năm. 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 tối nay."

Barthelemy, 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 Mario Barrios (21-0, 13 Kos) deliver a sensational second round knockout of Eudy Bernardo (23-3, 17 Kos) in front of his hometown fans.

“I definitely made a statement tối nay,”Barrios cho biết. “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,”Barrios cho biết. “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.”

Trong trận đấu này khai mạc của chương trình truyền hình SHO EXTREME, Richard Commey (26-2, 23 Kos) scored a sixth-round TKO of Alejandro Luna (22-1, 15 Kos) 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 31st ngày sinh nhật, 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.

“Tôi rất thất vọng,” 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, người hạ cánh 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 Brandon Figueroa (15-0, 10 Kos) scoring a seventh round knockout of Mexico’s Giovanni Delgado (16-6, 9 Kos) in their super bantamweight clash.

Figueroa, 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.
