“I’m excited just to get back in the ring,” Said Garcia, who was reigning world champion for the better part of six years dating back to his win over Hall of Famer Erik Morales in 2012 til marts 2017. “I needed the time off to recuperate and let my body heal.”
Garcia (33-1, 19 KOS) was a unified world champion at super lightweight and welterweight and has fought and defeated many of the most formidable opponents in both divisions spanning two generations-Morales, Zab Judah, Kendall Holt, Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse, Paulie Malignaggi and Lamont Peterson among them. Four of his five opponents in the welterweight division were world champions and 10 af hans sidste 14 opponents were world champions or former world champions.
“I was the reigning champion for six years, so I needed the rest,” continued the 29-year old Philadelphia fighter. “I’m ready to kick off the year in style and take over the welterweight division.”
I sin sidste kamp, a welterweight clash of world title holders, Garcia lost via split decision to now unified 147-pound world champion Keith Thurman in a hard-fought, exciting fight that aired live on CBS. The SHOWTIME BOXING on CBS broadcast drew the biggest boxing audience of the year, mere end fem millioner seere, der fortsat den største publikum at være vidne til et primetime boksning udsendelse siden 1998.
Nu, Garcia ser ud til at genetablere sin engang dominerende stilling på weltervægt, en division, der kan prale flere top-10 pund-for-pund krigere i sporten end nogen anden vægtklasse; krigere herunder verdensmestre Errol Spence Jr., Thurman, Shawn Porter, Kell Brook, Lamont Peterson og mere.
“Det interessante i denne kamp med Brandon Rios er vores stilarter. Vi begge gerne komme frem. Denne form for matchup vil bringe det bedste frem i os begge. Jeg er spændt på at være tilbage i Las Vegas. Jeg har haft nogle af mine bedste præstationer, og nogle af mine største kampe der. Jeg slog Lucas Matthysse og Amir Khan i Vegas. Du kæmper i Las Vegas, du er en superstjerne,” tilføjet Garcia.
Ligesom Garcia, Rios har kæmpet mange af de øverste weltervægt i denne æra, herunder verdensmestre Timothy Bradley og Manny Pacquiao. Den benhård Slugger fra Oxnard, Calif., har 34 vinder, 25 af knockout. Den 31-årige Rios kommer altid parat til at kæmpe. Med en aggressiv stil og granit hage, han er en af ​​de mest underholdende boksere i sporten. I sin sidste kamp scorede han en TKO sejr over Aaron Herrera på Juni 11. En sejr over Garcia, en top-10 weltervægt i sin egen ret, ville straks ændre løbet af Rios’ karriere og krav om, at han skal placeres blandt de top-rangerede i divisionen.
“Jeg er spændt på at bevise mine kritikere galt igen,” Said Rios. “Jeg bringe en ’Bam Bam’ Rios slugfest til mine fans. Danny er en stor fighter, but I will beat him just like I have beat others in the past. I am focused and will make this a classic Mexican-Puerto Rican battle!”
“SHOWTIME is poised to start the year with two crucial welterweight main event matchups,” sagde Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President og General Manager for SHOWTIME Sports®. “Following the January 20th event pitting Errol Spence Jr. vs. Lamont Peterson, Garcia vs. Rios features two of the most battle-tested and ferocious 147-pound fighters in the world. Add in the Benavidez vs. Gavril II co-feature, a fight that is guaranteed to deliver dramatic action, and we are picking up right where we left off in 2017 delivering the most compelling and important matchups in boxing’s deepest divisions.”
“We’re looking forward to the action at Mandalay Bay Events Center in February,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promotions. “Both Garcia and Rios are seasoned fighters that have faced the toughest competition in the welterweight division and they are both very hungry for a big win. Den co-funktionen omkamp mellem den yngste regerende verdensmester David Benavidez og udfordrer Ronald Gavril vi allerede ved vil være spændende. Alle fire af disse mænd har bevist, at de vil sætte det hele på spil i bokseringen at efterlader ingen tvivl om, hvem den bedre manden er. Desuden, Vi arbejder på en crowd-glædeligt undercard nu. Alle på dette kort skal medbringe deres ’Et spil’ to Las Vegas in order to be victorious on Februar 17.”
“Danny Garcia er en af ​​de mest kamp-testet, dygtige boksere i sporten. What he did in running through the 140-pound division before moving up to welterweight is simply amazing,” sagde Tom Brown, Formand for TGB Promotions. “‘Bam Bam’ Rios is a throwback warrior. He never met a fight that he backed down from. Putting Garcia and Rios into the ring against each other promises nothing but fireworks in a match that should provide maximum entertainment for fans. It’s the kind of fight that belongs in Las Vegas, a classic battle that harkens to welterweight wars of the past. The first match between Benavidez and Gavril left enough room for doubt that a rematch should settle any remaining questions. I’d expect both boxers to come in with something to prove and that translates into a fan-friendly match.”
The 21-year-old Benavidez (19-0, 17 KOS) became the youngest reigning world champion in boxing and the youngest 168-pound champion in history at 20-years, ni måneder gammel, da han scorede et split beslutning mod Gavril at vinde super mellemvægt titel på September 8. Den kamp featured flere gynger af momentum, spændende udvekslinger og en vild 12th omgang. Benavidez og Gavril skubbede hinanden for at levere den bedste ydeevne af deres respektive karrierer hidtil.
“Jeg føler, at jeg vandt kampen,” sagde Gavril umiddelbart efter beslutningen. “Jeg dominerede tempoet. Jeg kan ikke sige noget andet… Det eneste jeg kan gøre er at bede om en omkamp.”
På Februar 17, Gavril vil få det.
“Ingen undskyldninger denne gang,” sagde Sampson Lewkowicz af Sampson Boxing. “I det øjeblik Benavidez færdig kampen jeg anmodede om omkamp-på vegne af vinderen-alene af den grund, at han havde brug for at vinde ved eftertrykkeligt og ikke opdelt beslutning. Jeg ønskede offentligheden at være i stand til at have den omkamp, ​​så alle vil vide, hvem den bedste er. Jeg forventer denne gang Gavril vil sige, at han virkelig er blevet slået. Som den yngste regerende mester i sporten i dag, Jeg ønsker ikke i tvivl om, at Benavidez er det bedre menneske. It was a great fight the first time and this time we’ll see who the best truly is. Ingen undskyldninger. No doubt.”
Kæmper ud af Phoenix, Ariz., Benavidez had scored 10 straight knockouts leading up to the match against Gavril. His eight-round KO victory over Rogelio Medina put him position for the vacant title.
“This is a fight that my father, my team and I decided to take again to show everybody that I’m really the champion and there’s more to me than just being the youngest world champion,” Benavidez said. “I feel like I’m the better fighter and I’m going to definitely show it this time. I learned from that first fight that he puts on a lot of pressure. He likes to throw at the same time that I’m throwing. There are a couple different approaches to take against that. It’s going to be a great night of fights. Danny Garcia and ‘Bam Bam’ Rios, these are two fighters I look up to in the sport and it’s an honor to fight in their undercard. My training has been going well. We decided to bring in a strength and conditioning coach and I feel really strong. I believe I’ll be very prepared.”
Gavril (18-2, 14 KOS) rose rapidly through the ranks by scoring seven straight victories including four by knockout since 2015. The 31-year-old Gavril was born in Bacau, Romania and now lives and fights out of Las Vegas. He fought a brilliant match against Benavidez, seizing control in the middle rounds and even dropping the young contender in the 12th with less than a minute left in the fight. I sidste ende, it wasn’t enough as Gavril lost on two of the three judges’ scorecards.
“I can’t wait to get into the ring again and take that belt,” said Gavril. “I learned his game plan quickly during the first fight, I blocked it well then, and I plan to do the same again. He has fast hands and power, I won’t take that from him, but I am prepared for whatever plan he comes in the ring with. I know I have what it takes to win this time. Preparing for this fight the second time around has been different, training has been more intense, and my team is preparing me to take him out once and for all. I can’t let him win. Some people said I won back in September, and were surprised by my performance. I thought it was close, and I thought the knock down gave me the advantage to win. All I can do is be ready. I don’t think either of us will upset the fans on fight night. I want to thank Floyd Mayweather and Leonard for another opportunity against Benavidez. He’s a great fighter and tough competitor and this will certainly be a great fight.”

Gary Russell, Jr.-Oscar Escandon Featherweight Title Match Postponed After Escandon Suffers Injury in Training

Efterlad en kommentar
The Card Will Be Rescheduled for A Future Date
LAS VEGAS (Februar 28, 2017) – The featherweight championship match between Gary Russell Jr. and Oscar Escandon, planlagt til Lørdag, Marts 11 at the MGM National Harbor in Maryland, has been postponed after Escandon was injured in training, according to Escandon’s promoter Sampson Lewkowicz.
“Oscar suffered an injury to his back in training and he’ll be ready to go in April,” Lewkowicz said. “He’s very sorry for the delay in the fight, but these things happen in boxing. He’s really looking forward to facing Gary Russell, Jr., but he wants to be completely healthy when they do meet.”
Escandon, a 32-year-old Colombian with a record of 25-2 med 17 KOS, is the mandatory challenger for Russell’s featherweight championship. Jermell Charlo defending his 154-pound title against Charles Hatley will be the co-feature on the rescheduled card.
“It’s definitely irritating,” Russell said. “But injuries happen especially when you have somebody pushing their body to the limit for a fight that is potentially life changing. Det er skuffende. It might not work out for him because I have a little more time to get ready.”
“We’re working with the venue and the network to find the earliest date that we can reschedule the show,” sagde Tom Brown fra TGB Promotions. “I feel terrible for the fighters who have been training so hard and now have to wait. Gary is really disappointed, but he understands that injuries are all a part of the sport. But Gary will be ready to go on the rescheduled date.”
A new date for the fight will be announced shortly.

Caribe Promotions loses rights to Shumenov-Dorticos WBA cruiserweight title fight; TGB Promotions awarded rights

Efterlad en kommentar
LAS VEGAS (Januar 31, 2017) – The World Boxing Association (WBA) has notified WBA cruiserweight world champion Shumenov Beibu and WBA Interim cruiserweight title-holder yunier Dorticos, as well as their representatives, that Caribe Promotions has lost its rights to promote the WBA mandated Shumenov vs. Dorticos title fight.
Dorticós’ promotor, Caribe Promotions, originally won the Shumenov vs. Dorticos title fight rights last November with a winning purse bid of $350,001, which required a fight date within 90 dage. Although rumored to be held in mid-February in either Miami or Las Vegas, Caribe’s ability and willingness to actually promote the fight came into question in January, 2017. The WBA demanded that Caribe confirm its intentions and even granted Caribe additional time to respond, but Caribe failed to file confirmation of a fight date with the WBA. Because Caribe was unable to confirm its intentions, the WBA had little choice but to award rights to the second-highest purse bidder, Tom Brown’s TGB Promotions.
“I last fought 21 maj and I have been in the gym since June because I was supposed to fight Lebedev in September,” said a terribly frustrated Shumenov. “But he backed out of the fight with me once again and I have been ready to fight since then. I signed a bout agreement to fight Dorticos on February 11thi Miami, but Dorticos and his promoter disappeared after I signed. They’re full of it; all they do is talk. I can’t wait to knock him out. I am waiting on my manager to call me right now to tell me the new fight date with TGB.”
Caribe Promotions has been forced to also forfeit its $35,000 purse bid deposit with 10-percent off the top going to the WBA and remainder ($31,500) distributed to Shumenov and Dorticos, henholdsvis, on a 75-25 percent basis due to its failure to promote the fight.
Shumenov (17-2, 11 KOS), fighting out of Las Vegas by way of Kazakhstan, fought last Maj 21, da han stoppede 15-1-1 Junior Wright i 10th round of their Las Vegas fight for the vacant WBA World cruiserweight title. The WBA had ruled that the Shumenov-Wright winner would be the mandatory challenger for its “Super” mester, Lebedev, within 90 dage, dog, it later allowed unified cruiserweight titlist Lebedev (against Shumenov’s strong objections) to fight his International Boxing Federation (IBF) mandatory defense against challenger Murat Gassiev, effectively mandating an eliminator between Shumenov and Dorticos with that winner to fight the winner of Lebedev-Gassiev. Only days prior to the Lebedev-Gassiev title fight, Lebedev was inexplicably allowed to fight Gassiev without defending his WBA title, as only his IBF belt was on the line. Gassiev (24-0) defeated Lebedev (29-3) by way of a 12-round split decision in Moscow to become the IBF cruiserweight world champion and Lebedev remains the WBA Super cruiserweight world champion, i hvert fald for nu. The WBA is expected to rule on Shumenov’s objections to Lebedev’s fight against Gassiev, Lebedev’s status and whether Lebedev will remain champion having lost his last fight.
Dorticos has made false claims in the media that Shumenov, who had been waiting for the WBA to rule on his petitions to force Lebedev to fight him without further delay, had been avoiding him. It is ironic now that Dorticos’ own promoter first sought to delay and has now defaulted on the long-awaited confrontation by failing to promote the Shumenov-Dorticos title fight within the WBA deadline.
A former WBA Super light heavyweight world champion, the 33-year-old Shumenov is the first two-division world champion from a Soviet-bloc country.

Om uddannelse i Las Vegas:
“Running in the high elevation here in Las Vegas has been great for my stamina. I’ve adjusted to the atmosphere and my body feels extremely strong.

Om at arbejde med Ruben Guerrero:
“Ruben and I have been working great together. His knowledge of fighting southpaws is excellent and we have a great game plan going into this fight. Everyone can expect to see me throw a lot of punches.”
På sin søgen efter at blive en verdensmester:
“Becoming a world champion is something I’ve wanted my whole life. I’ve been close a couple of times. In those fights I made the mistake of leaving the decision in the judges’ hænder. Denne gang, Jeg går efter knockout, at forsikre mig selv sejr.”

Her er hvad Russell Jr., Gary Russell Sr. (Garys far og træner) og Gary Antonio Russell(Garys lillebror og ubesejret boksning udsigten) havde at sige tirsdag:

GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“Træningslejr går godt, vi er lige på vej. Der var en mindre problem i lejren, fordi jeg skulle til at kæmpe den okt. 24. Jeg begyndte sparring, but once the fight got pushed back to November 14 I cut the sparring off. Jeg ønskede ikke at toppe for tidligt.
“I dag (Tirsdag) var min første dag tilbage sparring igen. Jeg arbejder på min timing, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon er stærkt og holdbart. Han kommer lige frem. Hvis hans hjørne var smart de ville forsøge at tage min hånd hastighed, som vil være en stor faktor i kampen. Han bliver nødt til at lukke afstanden, kvæle mine slag, så hastigheden er ikke en faktor.
“Vi arbejder på at blive lige så behagelig kampene på ydersiden, som jeg kæmper på indersiden.
“En masse af krigere er endimensionale. Vi prøver at gøre denne diamant skinne på alle sider.
“Jeg ved, at jeg vil sejre uden tvivl. Enhver, som du får i ringen med disse små, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Det tager kun et skud. It’s the fighters’ job to take away that opportunity.
“Jeg er spændt på at bekæmpe, periode. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Det tager en bestemt type af mental sejhed og psykologisk styrke til at komme i ringen og udfører. Alle, der kommer i ringen mod mig, er en mester i mine øjne.
“It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Hvis jeg komme forbi Escandon Jeg ville elske at kæmpe Leo Santa Cruz, we fought in the amateurs. But we never underestimate any opponent and we are focused on getting this fight out of the way first. Lee Selby is another guy that we’re looking at. Of course Abner Mares, selv om han mistede, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Under min familie med mig under træningslejren betyder alt for mig. Det er, hvor jeg får min energi fra. En masse fyre føle, at de er nødt til at komme væk for træningslejr, men jeg behøver ikke at forlade hjemmet. Min familie er den drivende kraft bag min træningslejr, og hvor jeg finder min magt og motivation. Ved slutningen af ​​dagen, Jeg box for min familie.
“Hvis min bror ender kampene på min undercard det ville være meget cool for mig. Det vil være sjovt, fordi hvis han ikke konkurrere, vil du helt sikkert se mig arbejde hans hjørne, før min titel kamp.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Jeg ved, det er et mesterskab kamp, men vi går ind i hver kamp som om det er en titel kamp. Vi kender ikke et ton om sin modstander, vi bare træne som mestre.
“Jeg har seks sønner, alle af dem er krigere. De har alle forskellige egenskaber som mennesker der oversætter forskelligt ind, hvem de er som mennesker, og i ringen.
“Antonio Russell er 4-0, han har arbejdet virkelig hårdt hele sit liv. Uden for gymnastiksalen, han kan ordne noget. Antoine, der netop kvalificeret til de olympiske forsøg, er genial. Jeg er meget stolt af ham, fordi han netop uddannet valedictorian af sin klasse med den højeste GPA på nogen i Prince George amt. Så har du Gary, der så hårdt arbejde, han er den fremtidige patriark af familien. Han har en gammel ånd.
“Jeg er stolt af alle mine børn, og jeg er stolt over, at vi er en stærk familie enhed. Vi lærte en masse fra Garys tab til Vasyl Lomachenko. Vi har et motto på gym, der hænger fra et banner, der står "Succes er den ultimative hævn’ og vi har levet af at lige siden tabet. Vi lærte en vigtig lektie fra denne kamp og har bevæget sig.
“Boksning er en flygtig ting, du ikke gør det for evigt. Vi gør vores egne ting. Jeg er ikke bekymret for, hvad andre mennesker har gjort.
“Som en far, din faderlige instinkt spark i, fordi i denne sport, alt kan ske. Du ønsker ikke at se din søn ender ondt. Så vi tog til enhver omstændighed. På grund af denne instinkt, Jeg har været en streng og hårdt på mine sønner for at forsøge at holde dem sikkert.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Kæmper på Fredag, Oktober. 30 ikke-tv-transmitteret Premier Boxing Champions på Bounce TV undercard og potentielt November 14 undercard.):
“Med den måde, vi træner og kamp, vores forsvar opstiller vores offensiv og vores offensiv opstiller vores forsvar.
“Mit job er at gå derind og vinde kampe. Jeg kender min modstander er en høj fyr, men jeg ved også, at han ikke kommer til at vinde. Han har ikke stansning magt eller ring generalship, at jeg har.
“Når jeg vinder, Jeg er til den næste. Jeg er uddannet til at kæmpe konsekvent. Jeg håber, at jeg får denne fyr ud tidligt, hvis det kommer og præsenterer sig selv. Så jeg ville elske at kæmpe på min ældre brors kort to uger efter.”
