In celebration of the best rivalries on SHOWTIME, see below for a special column from SHOWTIME Sports expert analyst and boxing historian 史蒂夫Farhood.
LEGENDS
By Steve Farhood
Boxing without legends would be like religion without saints.
There’s no formula for a fighter to advance from star to superstar to legend. The process depends on timing, circumstance, and sometimes as little as a point or two on the judges’ 牌.
And oh, 耶: It helps if a guy can really fight.
As we celebrate 30 years of boxing on SHOWTIME, we’re focusing on a different theme each month. Throughout March, the theme will be Legends.
在 130 years from John L. Sullivan to Floyd Mayweather, boxing has given us what other sports can’t provide. Consider:
- The Associated Press voted Luis Firpo’s knockdown of Jack Dempsey as the greatest sports moment of the first half of the 20th Century.
- The Frazier-Ali “Fight Of The Century” in 1971 was easily the most anticipated sporting event in history.
- Last year’s Mayweather-Pacquiao fight generated more than half-a-billion dollars — in one night!
Legends are made by big moments … and how they respond to those moments.
在Showtime, we’ve featured three decades worth of legends. Here’s a look at those who will share the spotlight in March.
MARVIN HAGLER: Since Vince Lombardi didn’t exactly say, “Timing isn’t everything, it’s the only thing,” Hagler should’ve said it.
Hagler was a great fighter long before he was a superstar, but it wasn’t until he fought Roberto Duran, 托马斯·赫恩斯, 和糖光芒伦纳德 (three of Hagler’s last six bouts) that Marvin became Marvelous.
Hagler’s one appearance on SHOWTIME, which happened to be the first bout televised on the network (三月 1986), was the final win of his career. Undefeated over 10 岁月, Hagler had established himself as one of the greatest middleweights in history. And while it could be argued in hindsight that at age 31, the ultimate blue-collar fighter was slightly past his prime, much of what made Hagler special was on display during his savage defense against his unbeaten and ferocious challenger, John Mugabi.
Almost three decades after his retirement, Hagler remains the middleweight today’s 160-pounders are measured against.
SUGAR RAY LEONARD: If Hagler bloomed late, Leonard was a superstar before he threw a single punch as a professional.
Back in the mid-‘70s, that’s what a magnetic smile, an Olympic gold medal, and repeated exposure on prime time television could do for a young fighter.
It’s ironic that Leonard was initially viewed by some as a coddled creation of the media. 事实上, he was as tough as any fighter of the star-studded early-‘80s. Better yet, he remains the best fighter I’ve covered in 38 years on the boxing beat.
Leonard’s appearance on SHOWTIME was the penultimate bout of his career. In electing to end yet another lengthy layoff, 罗宾森, 34, chose outstanding 23-year-old super welterweight titlist Terry Norris as his opponent. Leonard dropped from 160 到 154 pounds and fought at Madison Square Garden for the first time.
The bout served as a reminder that at least in a pre-Bernard Hopkins world, boxing was very much a young man’s game.
FELIX TRINIDAD: There are only three Hispanic fighters who became superstars in the USA without speaking English. The first was Panama’s Roberto Duran. The second was Mexico’s Julio Cesar Chavez.
The third was Puerto Rico’s Trinidad.
Trinidad’s motto might as well have been, “If you can’t be from America, then beat America.”
A classic puncher with a boy scout’s smile and a fan-friendly personality, Trinidad made his name by defeating four U.S. 奥运选手, Pernell惠特克, 霍亚 (albeit by a terrible decision), 戴维·里德, 和费尔南多·巴尔加斯.
而且, 惠特克, 霍亚, and Reid had all been gold medalists.
The fight we’ll feature on 三月 17 在SHO EXTREME, Trinidad vs. Reid, was Trinidad’s 14th and final appearance on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING and SHOWTIME pay-per-view.
From his welterweight title-winning kayo of Maurice Blocker in 1993 through his defense against Mahenge Zulu in 1998, 13 of Trinidad’s 14 bouts were aired on SHOWTIME. Twelve of those fights were knockout wins.
Where Trinidad ranks with Wilfredo Gomez, 米格尔·库托, 卡洛斯·奥尔蒂斯, 威尔弗雷德·贝尼特斯, and the rest of the legends from Puerto Rico is debatable. What is inarguable is that “Tito” generated as much excitement as any fighter of his era.
RICARDO LOPEZ: What’s smaller: the chance that a strawweight (105 英镑) becomes an American television star or the fighter himself?
There’s never been an American world champion at strawweight (or minimumweight). We just don’t grow fighters that size. 事实上, until the emergence of Mexico’s Lopez in the early-’90s, most American boxing fans couldn’t have identified a single strawweight if armed with a map of the world and a set of WBC ratings.
Lopez was so complete, so dominant, so technically perfect, that from 1994 to ’99, he was a staple of SHOWTIME’s boxing programming. 他打 13 consecutive bouts on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING or SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View, and the first 11 of those contests were defenses of the strawweight title.
And if you think the little guys can’t punch, 很好, there were some one-punch kayos sprinkled in.
洛佩兹, who retired with a mark of 51-0-1, is universally acknowledged as an all-time great. Too bad he never fought America’s Michael Carbajal at light flyweight. Had he won that bout, he’d likely be acknowledged as one of the two or three greatest Mexican fighters ever.
Which is saying a lot for a fighter who never faced an opponent recognized by the American viewing public.

TUCSON, 亚利桑那州. (一月. 22, 2016) – Undefeated middleweight prospect Rob Brant scored the most impressive victory of his career with a fourth-round knockout of Decarlo Perez in the main event of 的ShoBox: 新一代, 住在Showtime 在周五 from Casino Del Sol in Tucson, 亚利桑那州. 视频精彩场面: http://s.sho.com/1QqySWm
Known more for his boxing prowess, 黑雁 (19-0, 12 科斯) displayed impressive power. After a big first round, in which he threw 97 punches and more of the same in the second, Brant floored Perez with a straight-right shot midway through the third.
The Minnesota native kept on the gas in the fourth and landed another straight right that sent Perez falling straight back partially through the ropes. 佩雷斯 (15-4-1, 5 科斯) awkwardly landed back into the ring and referee Rocky Burke instantly ended the fight at :39.
“The game plan was to be aggressive,” Brant said. “We knew we wanted to show him our power early and make him respect us right away. When I caught him with the right on the temple in the third I knew we had him. And then when I connected in the fourth it was lights out, game over. I just want to get back in the ring as soon as possible and continue making progress.”
佩雷斯, who entered the fight coming off an impressive win over previously undefeated Juan Ubaldo Cabrera last August on 的ShoBox, said he just got caught with a good shot.
“I just got caught,” Perez said. That’s all that happened. I didn’t see the shot coming and he was speedier than I thought. He’s fast and he got me with something I wasn’t ready for.”
SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood was surprised by Brant’s performance.
“Brant showed a dimension we hadn’t seen before,” Farhood said. “He’s thinking man’s fighter who fought an angry fight. 和, as result of that, you have to put him near the very top of the list of middleweight prospects.”
Undefeated heavyweight prospect Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller floored Donovan Dennis twice in a thoroughly dominating seventh round TKO (2:31) 在 的ShoBox 共同特征.
磨坊主 (16-0-1, 14 科斯), who went past the sixth round for the first time in his career, 登陆 52 他的力量，投篮的百分比. The Brooklyn native scored two knockdowns in the first round – the first with a devastating looping right, the second with a straight to the chest – and had Dennis nearly out on his feet in what looked like a certain first-round finish.
The southpaw Dennis (14-4, 11 科斯) somehow survived the round and actually pushed Miller into uncharted waters. Dennis had some moments where he out boxed his opponent, but Miller’s power and size – a 56 pound weight advantage – was the deciding difference. Dennis was breathing through his mouth and gasping for air when referee Tony Zaino wisely halted the contest as “Big Baby” teed-off on his defenseless opponent.
“I had him out in the first round, but I threw my shoulder out throwing a left hook,” Miller said. “I was looking for the knockout so bad he started catching me with some shots. So then I decided to box a little bit and that’s what I did until the knockout came.
“I’m glad it went seven rounds. It taught me to go to Plan B. I can box beautifully when I want and I showed some of that 今晚. It was good experience. 我的力量在那里; my wind was good. I was breathing well and seeing the shots.”
战斗结束后, Miller called out the two American heavyweight world champions.
“Charles Martin, 我来找你. Deontay怀尔德, I’m coming for your Alabama BBQ.”
In the locker room after the bout, Dennis admitted that he was surprised by Miller’s boxing ability: “He’s a better boxer than I thought he would be. That surprised me.”
在转播的开幕回合, undefeated welterweight prospect Bakhtiyar Eyubov impressed with a dominating demolition of the durable Jared Robinson with a third round TKO (:56).
Yeyubov (10-0, 10 科斯), who scored three knockdowns in three rounds, recorded his 10日 knockout in his 10日 career professional fight. The hard-throwing Eyubov landed a staggering 57 percent of his power shots while throwing only three jabs in the fight. The Kazakhstan native scored two knockdowns in the first and one in the third over the veteran Robinson (17-3-1, 17 科斯), who was only the second opponent to push Eyubov into the third round.
“Was I surprised at how easy it was? 别, I can’t believe he made it to round three,” Eyubov说. “The ref should have stopped it earlier. I am much smarter than I was before. I expect more of myself now. It was another step forward and I promise everyone all my fights will be like that. I am like (阿图罗) Gatti.
“My trainers are teaching me to move my head, and I’m confident that no one can hurt me. I will never ever be knocked down.”
Yeyubov, who entered the ring with a “papakha,” explained his cultural dance following the knockout win.
“The dance and the hat are traditional Kazakhstan traditions,” Eyobov said. “I was honoring my countrymen with that dance. And the hat is a symbol of my honor. No one can take that hat from me. “
该 的ShoBox tripleheader will re-air on 星期一, 一月. 25 在 10 P.M. AND/PT在Showtime极端，将可在Showtime ON DEMAND® 开始周六, 一月. 23.

The event is promoted by Greg Cohen Promotions.
Boxing historian and expert ring analyst 史蒂夫Farhood has called every fight on 的ShoBox since it premiered in 2001. He anticipates another year of excellent, competitive matchups in 2016.
“在 2015, we had eight fighters who appeared on 的ShoBox 并去赢得世界冠军. That means the average number of shows in which you’ll see a future world champion is one out of four,“Farhood的说.
“We saw some fantastic prospects last year, 含 埃里克森鲁宾 和 雷吉斯Prograis and fresh faces like 贾勒特赫德, Rob Brant—and a fighter who almost seems ready to fight for a title now—谢尔盖Derevyanchenko. Given 的ShoBox’s 15-year history, I’m fully expecting that we will have more of the same in 2016.’’
黑雁, Perez and Miller will be making their second consecutive appearances on 的ShoBox. Brant and Miller were victorious last 十月. 23, Perez last 八月. 28. Robinson will also be making his second ShoBox start; the four other boxers will be making their debuts.
“Both Brant and Perez won their most recent appearances on 的ShoBoxand both were impressive,''Farhood的说. “Brant took a big step up and outpointed 路易·罗斯 in October and Perez pulled off the upset over the previously unbeaten 胡安·乌巴尔多·卡布雷拉 八月. So it makes all the sense in the world to match them against each other. On Jan. 22, we’re going to find out just how hot Rob Brant is.’’
Twenty-six-year-old Brant will be headlining his second consecutive的ShoBox. 在他的第一, he captured a hard-fought 10-round majority decision over Rose. 展望 10 轮首次, Brant triumphed in an entertaining tight fight.
在转为职业选手在十一月 2010, Brant was a 2010 全国金手套冠军在 178 磅和U.S的成员. national boxing team pro. He currently trains in Dallas alongside top prospect 埃罗尔·斯彭斯JR.
“I’m really excited about this fight and I’ve been training hard for several weeks now,’’ Brant said. “I’ve got a very serious opponent in front of me. He rates about a 7.7 at everything, which doesn’t leave a whole lot of weaknesses. I’ve got to go back to pure boxing for this one. I have to be better in every department. It’s my second time headlining 的ShoBox and I plan on improving from the first time, so viewers can chart my progress. This is my time to show my growth.’’
佩雷斯, 谁从一个格斗家冰雹, has won four straight and nine of his last 10. He scored a surprising, 烦乱, a 10-round unanimous decision over Cabrera (23-0 在去) in his last outing. 佩雷斯, 谁花了一个星期的通知的斗争, outpointed the two-time Dominican Republic Olympian by the scores of 98-91 两次， 97-92.
“I’m so excited I’m the main event on national television,’’ Perez said. “I don’t know a lot about my opponent but I’m well prepared, both mentally and physically. I plan on giving the fans an exciting night.
“Camp is going very well. My management team has brought in top sparring with all undefeated boxers, one being 朱利安·威廉姆斯. I’m excited that my trainer is allowing me to fight the majority, if not all of this fight, in the southpaw stance. I’m really a southpaw, but I have fought right-handed most of my career.”
Perez’ last loss came on a split eight-round decision to world title challenger Wilky Campfort 一月 2014. 环外, Perez is a pharmacy technician at an Atlantic City hospital.
磨坊主, a former New York Golden Gloves finalist who turned pro in July 2009, is a confident, power-punching heavyweight who comes to knock you out. He won his ShoBox debut, 停车 Akhror Muralimov with a devastating right hand to the chin at 1:03 在第三轮.
“I feel like I should have been here two years ago,’’ Miller said. “I’m not coming to make friends. I’m here to annihilate and destroy the whole heavyweight division. On Jan. 22, I’m going to put Donovan Dennis to sleep. I’m not being heard right now, so I have to make myself known. After this fight and what I do to Dennis, things will really, really start to pick up. I’m ready to destroy.’’
Besides being a hard hitter, Miller has good overall skills and movement for a big man whose weight fluctuates from fight to fight. He’s won his last four by knockout, all inside three rounds.
Known for an aggressive style, Miller is now fully focused on a fistic career, but he hails from an MMA and kickboxing background. 几年, 他在K-1比赛, 历史上世界一流的跆拳道组织, 并两次打传奇 米尔科 “克罗马警察” Filipović.
“There seems to be a new energy and enthusiasm on the American heavyweight scene,''Farhood的说. “Part of that is explained by the fall of a dominant champion in 弗拉基米尔克里琴科 and part of it is explained by the emergence of Deontay怀尔德, 乃至 特拉维斯考夫曼. So for a young heavyweight like Jarrell Miller, the time seems to be ideal to secure TV exposure and make a name for himself.’’
丹尼斯, 28, was born and raised in Davenport, 爱荷华州. Before turning pro in June 2010, he was a top-level amateur: 11-time Iowa State Champion, 2011 National Golden Gloves runner-up in and 2012 该. S. Olympic Games Trials contestant.
The 6-foot-4 Dennis possesses good skills, movement and punching power to go with his strong amateur background. His weakness is durability; he’s been knocked out in all of his losses.
“I’m ready to fight,’’ Dennis said. “I’ve been training really hard and I am looking forward to the fight. I just want to get this win and move on as I will have a big year in 2016.’’
德拉托雷, considered one of the top young talents in the Philippines, will be fighting outside of Asia for the first time. A big puncher and winner of seven straight by knockout, 5尺8, 21-year-old is coming off athird-round TKO over Ricard Betos 最后 十一月. 14.
“It’s every boxer’s dream to fight on big cards in United States. This is the next step in my pathway to becoming world champion,’’ Dela Torre said. “I can’t wait.
