Philadelphia (Lub yim hli ntuj 6, 2016) – Undefeated rising contender David “Tus liab Flag” Benavidez (16-0, 15 Kos) khob qhov rooj tawm Denis Douglin (20-5, 13 Kos) nyob rau hauv lub 10-round ntsiab kev tshwm sim ntawm Premier Boxing Champions rau ESPN thiab ESPN los ntawm cov 2300 Arena nyob rau hauv Philadelphia.
Douglin, who is trained by his mother Saphya, opened the fight very aggressive, stealing the first round on all three judges’ scorecards. Douglin continued to press the action, also winning the second round battle with two of the three judges, but Benavidez would soon settle in and take control of the war.
“Kuv paub nws twb yuav mus yuav ib tug nyuaj kev sib ntaus. I knew Douglin wasn’t going to go out without a fight,” said Benavidez. “So I came in here and started slower than I usually do, just using my jab a little bit more.”
The 19-year-old Benavidez made the necessary corrections in round three and never looked back, chipping away throughout the fourth and fifth rounds. In the sixth, Benavidez teed off on Douglin with damaging punches to both Douglin’s body and head.
In the seventh round, Benavidez was still having his way when one of the top turnbuckles gave out, causing the ropes on one side of the ring to collapse, and stopping the fight momentarily. When the action resumed, Douglin came forward with a flurry, but that burst of energy was short-lived.
Benavidez regained control in the eighth round, and in the ninth he scored the only knockdown of the fight. In the tenth and final frame, Benavidez threw a barrage of punches, several of which buckled Douglin, causing referee Gary Rosato to intervene and stop the fight at :35 mus rau hauv lub round.
When asked about Douglin’s resilience, Benavidez said, “I hurt him a lot of times, but I kept my cool. I knew I was going to get him out of there sooner or later and that’s exactly what I did tonight. This is a good victory for me. Douglin is a tough veteran. He started fast and swinging wildly, and his offense probably looked better on-camera than it was, but he did what he had to do to survive until the final round.”
Benavidez continued, “It was important to me to get the stoppage and show everybody that I am just as strong in the late rounds as I am early on. I love this. This is what I signed up for. I want tough fights.”
A disappointed Douglin said, “I was in this fight, I just got winded. I was in great shape and everything, but I got winded there towards the end. Benavidez is a tough, young fighter. He was able to make me stay in there longer than I wanted to, but I feel good and I’ll be back.”
Benavidez concluded, “Txoj cai tam sim no, I would like to say that I don’t think about who’s next. I’m just trying to progress in my career and I’m not trying to call anybody out. But if I do dream about fighting anybody, it would be whoever is the champion at my weight. I’m going to work hard to get to that spot.”
Televised coverage began with exciting undefeated contender Alejandro “El Charro” Nkauj hnub nraug hli (21-0, 15 Kos) defeating Philadelphia prospect Naim Nelson (13-2, 1 KO) los ntawm sawv daws pom kev txiav txim siab (99-91, 98-92, 97-93) in a ten-round bout fought at a catch weight of 144 phaus.
Nelson, who stepped up to face Luna on only 24-hours notice, tried to bring the fight to Luna in the early rounds and make it a physical contest on the inside.
Despite Luna landing a couple of blistering uppercuts in the second and third rounds, Nelson still came forward. Luna later said, “Nelson was a tough guy and could bang a little bit.”
By the close of the third round, Luna’s left eye appeared to be swelling badly, but luckily for Luna Nelson’s gas tank appeared to drain just in time. Although Nelson was all aggression and wanted to fight in a phone booth early on, he found himself landing fewer punches and looking to create distance in the middle rounds.
Luna soon took over the action, and in the seventh round a cut opened on Nelson’s forward, but was quickly controlled by his corner. Cuaj kaum, Luna had done enough damage in the middle stages of the scrap and was able coast to a unanimous victory on the scorecards.
“Obviously we prepared for another opponent, but I felt I had a solid performance against him,” said Luna. “Nelson came to fight and was in shape, and I thought I handled him pretty well, but I know I can still do better.”
When asked about taking the fight on short notice Nelson said, “I make no excuses, but we took this fight at 9 p.m. last night and I knew I was stepping up to face a tough opponent. I didn’t get the decision, but I felt good in there tonight, and I proved I can compete with a world class fighter.
Nelson added, “Luna is a good puncher and he’s strong. I won’t take anything away from him. We fought a hell of a fight, and I look forward to being back soon.”
Luna summed up the night adding, “I’m looking to build on what I did here tonight and get back in the ring soon for another good fight.”

Danny O'Connor
“Qhov no yog tag nrho hais txog kuv sib ntaus sib tua hauv tus txheej txheem. Gabriel Bracero beat me but I really beat myself. Just like training for this fight, we had a baby son. Two weeks before our first fight, my first son was born and I didn’t know how to separate sport from such life-changing events. Kuv yog 14-0 thiab sib ntaus sib tua nyob Showtime. We just had a baby boy two weeks before this fight. I want to prove to myself that I can beat this process. Bracero is my redemption!
“Qhov no sib ntaus yog kuv vs. kuv. The time was right for this fight. I was offered this fight five times during the past few years but the time wasn’t right.
“I was a scared little kid with no experience in our first fight. I couldn’t handle the pressure, I didn’t even know it was there. Tam sim no, I’m a mature man who is a husband and father. I’m a totally different person.
“This fight could be in my living room. I’m at peace in the ring doing what I love to do. It’s great being back in the ring in Lowell, qhov twg kuv yeej tus tshiab hais Golden Cov hnab looj tes title thiab kuv sib ntaus sib tua nyob lub teb chaws TV, tab sis cov kev tshwm sim nruab nrab ntawm plaub ceg kaum thiab hais tias yog dab tsi tiag tiag suav.”
Gabriel BRACERO
“Kuv pog. I’ve trained for this fight like I’ve never fought Danny before. I beat him but that was four years ago. I can’t overlook him. He has obviously made improvements and I did also to get where we are today.
“Kuv ntau txog tej. I moved to train in Orlando and get away from distractions. I hit a few bumps and got incarcerated. Tommy Gallagher (tus kws qhia) saved my lie. He was there when I went to prison and there when I got out. I added a new trainer to our corner, Alexander Lopes, tab sis Tommy thiab kuv txiv, Kiro, are still there. Tommy gives the orders and he likes what Lopez has done with me.
“Tommy Gallagher is my guardian angel. He believed in me more than I believed in myself. He had this vision before I did.
“Danny has become a better fighter. Kuv tsis tau noj dab tsi deb ntawm nws, tab sis kuv tab tom nrhiav rau pem hauv ntej rau muab rau ib tug spectacular kev kawm Saturday hmo ntuj.”
Jonathan Guzman
“Kuv yuav mus ua rau nws 20-rau-20, muaj! I’m powerful because I make strong moves. My left hook is my best punch. Kuv yuav muaj lub hwj chim los ntawm kuv lub cev tag nrho thaum kuv ntaus leejtwg txoj cai.
“Kuv tsis txhawj txog kuv tus nrog sib ntaus los yog dab tsi nws yuav ua li cas nyob rau hauv lub yav dhau los.
“Lawrence is my home now. I will go back to the Dominican Republic in December for the holidays. I feel like a Bostonian. This is the sixth fight I’ve trained here for and I love the Boston Red Sox.”
Danny AQUINO
“Kuv lub xeem sib ntaus propelled kuv (chim siab los ntawm kev txiav txim siab tshaj Ryan Kielczweski). It made me more confident in myself. Kuv lub xeem sib ntaus yog nyob rau ESPN thiab qhov no yog ib tug nyob NBCSN.
“I don’t know too much about my opponent other than he has power that I’ll be looking out for. A win over him should put me in the top 10 thiab hais tias yog vim li cas kuv thiaj mob siab rau qhov no sib ntaus.
“Kuv yeej tus tshiab hais Golden Cov hnab looj tes Championship nyob rau hauv Lowell Memorial Auditorium nyob rau hauv 2007.
“Kuv qhia ib thiab kuv yeej ib txwm nyob rau hauv zoo txaus puab tuav leej twg.”
Ryan KIELCZWESKI
“I like fighting at home and this is one of my favorite venues. I won the New England Golden Gloves there twice.
“Kuv twb kawm rau qhov no yuav tsum yog tus toughest sib ntaus ntawm kuv ua hauj lwm.
“(Vasquez) is tough with a lot of power. He’s going come forward, tab sis kuv mam li yuav tau tawm-lub thawv rau nws.
“Nws nyob nyob rau hauv lub saum toj 10 ntawm lub ntiaj teb no thiab ib tug yeej yuav tsum muab tso rau kuv rov qab nyob rau hauv lub saum toj 10 sib ntaus sib tua rau ib lub ntiaj teb title nyob rau hauv lub xyoo tom ntej.”
RAFAEL VASQUEZ
“Qhov no yog ib lub sijhawm zoo rau kuv. I think this fight will put me on the map fighting on national TV and showing fans what I’ve got.
“Kuv yog ib tug tshaib plab, small fighter determined to win. I fight for my wife, Sandra, uas muaj theem-plaub cancer thiab kuv muaj yim xyoo xwb-laus tus ntxhais, Kaline, who has autism. It’s not just me fighting in the ring, it’s the Vasquez family. With God’s grace, txhua yam uas yog tau.
“Ryan txav ntau. He uses the ring and boxes. He lost to Aquino and I know he’ll be coming back to prove himself. “
Gary “Ntsia hlau loj” O'SULLIVAN
“Boston is my second home. I love it here. The people are so nice and there are good gyms.
“Kuv yog ib tug exciting, entertaining fighter uas yeej ib txwm los mus tua.
“Tom qab kuv tag tawm Eubanks, Kuv yuav ua tus tsis. 1 contender nyob rau hauv lub WBA thiab Golovkin yuav tsis tau tuav kuv tawm lawm.
“I watched a few clips of my opponent. We have identical records. We both knock people out, so I have to be careful. I’d like to get in a few rounds, tab sis thaum kuv ntaus cov neeg, lawv poob.”
Stephen ORMOND
“My first four fights were here in the US. Boston is like my second home. The people are so nice. Boston is a real fight city. I can’t wait for these people to see me in the ring.
“I saw my opponent fight last year in Boston. He’s an experienced guy with a lot of fights. He fought for a world title a long time ago.
“Nrog Ken Casey qab kuv, an impressive victory will get me a title shot. I’ll take any of them. Kuv yog ib tug sib ntaus deb, losing a qualifier. My grandmother passed away the day of my fight. I’m ready now!”
