LAS VEGAS (December 21, 2017) – Twee-afdeling wereldkampioen Danny “Gierzwaluw” Garcia returns to the ring to take on former world champion Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios in a welterweight showdown on Zaterdag, Februari 17 live op SHOW TIME at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
In de co-functie, boksen jongste wereldkampioen David “The Red Flag” Benavidez will defend his Super Middleweight World Championship for the first time against Ronald Gavril in a rematch of their thrilling September 2017 bout in which Benavidez won the vacant title by split decision.
The card is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with DSG Promotions. The Benavidez-Gavril rematch is co-promoted by Sampson Boxing. Tickets for the live event go on sale Zaterdag, December. 23 bij 10 a.m. PST and will be available at AXS.com.
“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 tot en met maart 2017. “I needed the time off to recuperate and let my body heal.”
Garcia (33-1, 19 KO) 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 van zijn laatste 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.”
In zijn laatste gevecht, 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, more than five million viewers which remains the largest audience to witness a primetime boxing broadcast since 1998.
Nu, Garcia looks to re-establish his once dominant position at welterweight, a division that boasts more top-10 pound-for-pound fighters in the sport than any other weight class; fighters including world champions Errol Spence Jr., Thurman, Shawn Porter, Kell Brook, Lamont Peterson and more.
“What’s interesting in this fight with Brandon Rios is our styles. We both like to come forward. This kind of matchup will bring out the best in both of us. I’m excited to be back in Las Vegas. I’ve had some of my best performances and some of my biggest fights there. I beat Lucas Matthysse and Amir Khan in Vegas. You fight in Las Vegas, you’re a superstar,” added Garcia.
Net als Garcia, Rios has fought many of the top welterweights of this era including world champions Timothy Bradley and Manny Pacquiao. The hard-nosed slugger from Oxnard, Calif., heeft 34 wins, 25 door knock-out. The 31-year-old Rios always comes prepared to battle. With an aggressive style and granite chin, he is one of the most entertaining boxers in the sport. In his last fight he scored a TKO victory over Aaron Herrera on Juni 11. A victory over Garcia, a top-10 welterweight in his own right, would immediately change the course of Rios’ career and demand that he be placed among the top-ranked in the division.
“I’m excited to prove my critics wrong again,” said Rios. “I’m bring a ‘Bam Bam’ Rios slugfest to my fans. Danny is a great 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,” zei Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President en General Manager van 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,” aldus 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. The co-feature rematch between the youngest reigning world champion David Benavidez and challenger Ronald Gavril we already know will be thrilling. All four of these men have proven that they’ll put it all on the line in the boxing ring to leave no doubt about who the better man is. Bovendien, we are working on a crowd-pleasing undercard now. Everyone on this card will need to bring their ‘A game’ to Las Vegas in order to be victorious on Februari 17.”
“Danny Garcia is one of the most battle-tested, skillful boxers in the sport. What he did in running through the 140-pound division before moving up to welterweight is simply amazing,” zei Tom Brown, President van 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 KO) became the youngest reigning world champion in boxing and the youngest 168-pound champion in history at 20-years, nine months old when he scored a split decision against Gavril to win the super middleweight title on September 8. The bout featured multiple swings of momentum, thrilling exchanges and a wild 12th ronde. Benavidez and Gavril pushed each other to deliver the best performance of their respective careers thus far.
“I feel I won the fight,” said Gavril immediately after the decision. “I dominated the pace. I can’t say anything else… The only thing I can do is to ask for a rematch.”
Op Februari 17, Gavril will get it.
“No excuses this time,” zei Sampson Lewkowicz van Sampson Boksen. “The minute Benavidez finished the fight I requested the rematch-on behalf of the winner-for the sole reason that he needed to win by emphatically and not by split decision. I wanted the public to be able to have the rematch so that everyone will know who the best is. I expect this time Gavril will say that he’s really been beaten. As the youngest reigning champion in the sport today, I want no doubt that Benavidez is the better man. It was a great fight the first time and this time we’ll see who the best truly is. Geen excuses. No doubt.”
Fighting out of 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 KO) 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. Tenslotte, 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

Laat een reactie achter
The Card Will Be Rescheduled for A Future Date
LAS VEGAS (Februari 28, 2017) – The featherweight championship match between Gary Russell Jr. and Oscar Escandon, gepland voor Zaterdag, Maart 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, maar deze dingen gebeuren bij het boksen. 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 met 17 KO, 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. It’s disappointing. 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,” zegt Tom Brown van 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

Laat een reactie achter
LAS VEGAS (Januari 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 dagen. 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 mei 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 11 februariin 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, respectievelijk, on a 75-25 percent basis due to its failure to promote the fight.
Shumenov (17-2, 11 KO), fighting out of Las Vegas by way of Kazakhstan, fought last Mei 21, toen hij stopte 15-1-1 Junior Wright in de 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” kampioen, Lebedev, within 90 dagen, echter, 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) versloeg 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, at least for now. 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.

WASHINGTON, D.C. –(Oktober. 28, 2015) -Beltway-area inheemse Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 KO) hield een media-training bij The Enigma Boxing Club in Capital Heights, MD op dinsdag als hij zich voorbereidt voor zijn kampioenschap bout op November 14 op Showtime.
Russell Jr. zal de eerste verdediging van zijn WBC vedergewicht World Championship tegen Colombia's maken Oscar Escandon (24-2, 16 KO) in het main event van Showtime Championship Boxing op Zaterdag, November. 14, live op Showtime (10:45 p.m. EN/PT) van Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
Hier is wat Russell Jr., Gary Russell Sr. (Gary's vader en trainer) en Gary Antonio Russell(Gary's jongere broer en ongeslagen boksen vooruitzicht) te zeggen had op dinsdag:

GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“Trainingskamp gaat geweldig, we gelijk op koers. Er was een klein probleempje in het kamp, ​​want ik moest vechten op oktober. 24. Ik begon sparring, maar zodra het gevecht werd geduwd terug naar November 14 Ik sneed de sparring af. Ik wilde niet te vroeg pieken.
“Vandaag (Dinsdag) was mijn eerste dag terug sparring. Ik ben bezig met mijn timing, ring generaalschap en zijwaartse beweging. We zijn precies op koers.
“Oscar Escandon is sterk en duurzaam. Hij komt recht vooruit. Als zijn hoek was slim zouden ze proberen weg te nemen mijn hand snelheid waarmee een grote factor zal zijn in de strijd. Hij zal nodig hebben om de afstand te sluiten, smoren mijn stoten dus snelheid is niet een factor.
“We werken aan steeds net zo comfortabel vechten aan de buitenkant als ik vechten op de binnenkant.
“Veel strijders zijn eendimensionale. We proberen dat diamant glans aan alle kanten te maken.
“Ik weet dat ik zal overwinnen zonder twijfel. Iedereen die je krijgt in de ring met deze kleine, 8-ounce handschoenen heeft altijd een mogelijkheid van het creëren van een verstoorde of hij is een grote puncher of niet. Het duurt slechts één schot. Het is de strijders’ baan weg te nemen die kans.
“Ik ben opgewonden om te vechten, periode. Ik weet niet eens na te denken over deze strijd als een titel verdediging. Het duurt een bepaald type van mentale weerbaarheid en psychologische kracht in de ring te krijgen en uit te voeren. Iedereen die in de ring tegen mij krijgt is een kampioen in mijn ogen.
“Het is ongeveer zeven maanden geleden dat ik gevochten. Ik ben altijd bang om terug te keren in de ring.
“Als ik voorbij Escandon zou ik graag om te vechten Leo Santa Cruz, we vochten in de amateurs. Maar we onderschatten nooit een tegenstander en we zijn gericht op het verkrijgen van deze strijd uit de weg eerst. Lee Selby is een andere man die we zoeken bij. Natuurlijk Abner Mares, hoewel hij verloren, zou een geweldig gevecht worden. Dit zijn het soort jongens die we willen bestrijden.
“Het hebben van mijn familie met mij tijdens het trainingskamp betekent alles voor mij. Het is waar ik mijn energie uit. Veel jongens het gevoel dat ze hebben om weg te komen voor het trainingskamp, maar ik heb niet naar huis te verlaten. Mijn familie is de drijvende kracht achter mijn trainingskamp en waar ik vind mijn kracht en motivatie. Aan het einde van de dag, Ik doos voor mijn familie.
“Als mijn broer eindigt vechten op mijn undercard het erg cool voor mij zou zijn. Het zal grappig zijn, want als hij niet concurreren, je zal zeker zien me werken zijn hoek voor mijn titel vechten.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Ik weet dat het een kampioenschap strijd, maar we gaan in elk gevecht alsof het een titel gevecht. We weten niet een ton over zijn tegenstander, we gewoon trainen als kampioenen.
“Ik heb zes zoons, alle van hen zijn strijders. Ze hebben allemaal verschillende attributen als mensen die anders vertalen in wie ze zijn als mensen en in de ring.
“Antonio Russell is 4-0, hij is echt hard gewerkt zijn hele leven. Buiten de sportschool, kan hij iets te repareren. Antoine, die net gekwalificeerd voor de Olympische trials, is briljant. Ik ben erg trots op hem, omdat hij net afgestudeerd afscheids van zijn klasse met de hoogste GPA van iedereen in Prince George's County. Dan heb je Gary, die zo hard werkt, hij is de toekomst patriarch van de familie. Hij heeft een oude geest.
“Ik ben trots op al mijn kinderen en ik ben er trots op dat we een sterke familie-eenheid. We hebben veel geleerd van het verlies van Gary's aan Vasyl Lomachenko. We hebben een motto op de sportschool, dat hangt aan een banner, het zegt "Succes is de ultieme wraak’ en we hebben sinds het verlies geleefd door die ooit. We leerden een belangrijke les uit die strijd en hebben op verhuisd.
“Boksen is een vluchtige zaak, je hoeft het niet altijd doen. We doen ons eigen ding. Ik ben niet bezorgd over wat andere mensen hebben gedaan.
“Als een vader, uw vaderlijke instinct kicks in, omdat in deze sport, alles kan gebeuren. U niet wilt zien uw zoon uiteindelijk pijn. Zo trainen we voor elke omstandigheid. Vanwege dat instinct, Ik ben streng en hard op mijn zonen om te proberen om ze veilig te houden.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Vechten op de Vrijdag, Oktober. 30 niet-televisie Premier Boxing Champions op Bounce TV undercard en mogelijk de November 14 undercard.):
“Met de manier waarop we trainen en vechten, onze verdediging stelt onze overtreding en onze overtreding stelt onze verdediging.
“Mijn taak is om naar binnen te gaan en te winnen gevechten. Ik weet dat mijn tegenstander is een lange man, maar ik weet ook dat hij niet van plan om te winnen. Hij heeft de slagkracht of ring generaalschap dat ik niet.
“Zodra ik win, Ik ben op de volgende. Ik ben getraind om constant te vechten. Ik hoop dat ik vroeg deze man uit, als het komt en presenteert zich. Dan zou ik graag twee weken na vechten op mijn oudere broer kaart.”
