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 prin martie 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 lui Iuda, 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 ultimei sale 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.
În ultimul său luptă, 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.
Acum, 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.
Ca 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., are 34 victorii, 25 de 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 Iunie 11. A victory over Garcia, a top-10 welterweight in his own right, would immediately change the course of Rioscareer 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 BamRios 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,” a declarat Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President and General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports®. “Following the January 20lea 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,” a declarat 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. În plus, we are working on a crowd-pleasing undercard now. Everyone on this card will need to bring their ‘A gameto Las Vegas in order to be victorious on Februarie 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,” spuse Tom Brown, Președintele TGB Promoții. “‘Bam BamRios 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 Septembrie 8. The bout featured multiple swings of momentum, thrilling exchanges and a wild 12lea rotund. 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 elseThe only thing I can do is to ask for a rematch.
Pe Februarie 17, Gavril will get it.
No excuses this time,” a spus Sampson Lewkowicz de Sampson Box. “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. Fără scuze. No doubt.
Fighting out of Phoenix, Arizona., 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 12lea with less than a minute left in the fight. În cele din urmă, it wasn’t enough as Gavril lost on two of the three judges’ scorecard.
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. Am crezut că a fost aproape, 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

The Card Will Be Rescheduled for A Future Date
LAS VEGAS (Februarie 28, 2017) – The featherweight championship match between Gary Russell Jr. and Oscar Escandon, programată pentru Sâmbătă, Martie 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 cu 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,” a spus Tom Brown a TGB Promoții. “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

LAS VEGAS (Ianuarie 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 zi. 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 mai 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 februarieîn 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, respectiv, 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 Mai 21, când sa oprit 15-1-1 Junior Wright în 10lea 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” campion, Lebedev, within 90 zi, totuși, 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, 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 Dorticosown 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.

“Tabără de antrenament se va mare, suntem chiar pe curs. Nu a fost un sughiț minor în tabăra pentru că trebuia să lupte Oct. 24. Am început sparring, but once the fight got pushed back to Noiembrie 14 I cut the sparring off. Nu am vrut să vârf prea devreme.
“Astăzi (Marți) a fost prima mea zi înapoi sparring din nou. Lucrez la calendarul meu, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon este puternic si durabil. El înaintează direct. Dacă colțul său era inteligent le-ar încerca să ia viteza mea de mână, care va fi un factor important în lupta. El va trebui să închideți distanta, sufoca pumni mei așa viteză nu este un factor.
“Suntem de lucru pentru a deveni lupta la fel ca confortabil la exterior ca am lupta în interior.
“O mulțime de luptători sunt unidimensionale. Suntem încercarea de a face ca strălucească diamant pe toate laturile.
“Știu că voi fi victorios, fără îndoială. Oricine care te în ring cu aceste mici, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Este nevoie de doar un shot. It’s the fightersjob to take away that opportunity.
“Sunt încântat să lupte, perioadă. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Este nevoie de un anumit tip de tenacitate mentală și puterea psihologică pentru a obține în ring și de a efectua. Oricine intră în ring împotriva mea este un campion in ochii mei.
It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Dacă aș se desprindă de Escandon Mi-ar plăcea să lupte 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, chiar dacă a pierdut, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Având familia mea cu mine în timpul tabără de antrenament înseamnă totul pentru mine. E în cazul în care primesc energia mea de. O mulțime de tipi simt ca ei trebuie sa scape de tabără de antrenament, dar nu trebuie să plece de acasă. Familia mea este forța motrice din spatele tabăra mea de formare și în cazul în care mi se pare puterea mea și motivația. La sfârșitul zilei, Am caseta pentru familia mea.
“Dacă fratele meu se termină lupta pe Undercard mea ar fi foarte misto pentru mine. Acesta va fi amuzant pentru că, dacă el intră în competiție, veți vedea cu siguranță mă să lucrez la colț înainte lupta mea titlu.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Știu că este o lupta campionat, dar vom merge în fiecare luptă ca este o lupta titlu. Noi nu știm o tona despre adversarul său, ne-am tren ca Campionilor.
“Am șase fii, toate acestea sunt luptători. Ei au toate diferite atribute ca oameni care traduce diferit în care ei sunt la fel de oameni și în ring.
“Antonio Russell este 4-0, el a muncit din greu toată viața lui. În afara de sala de sport, el poate repara nimic. Antoine, care tocmai sa calificat pentru studiile Olimpice, este genial. Sunt foarte mândru de el, pentru că tocmai a absolvit sef de promotie al clasei sale cu cea mai mare AAP de cineva din judetul Prince George. Atunci aveți Gary, care este atât de greu de lucru, el este viitorul patriarh al familiei. El are un spirit vechi.
“Sunt mândru de toate copiii mei și sunt mândru că suntem o unitate de familie puternică. Am învățat multe de la pierderea lui Gary la Vasyl Lomachenko. Avem un motto la sala de sport, care atârnă de un banner, se spune "Succesul este Revenge Ultimate’ și am trăit prin care încă de la pierderea. Am învățat o lecție importantă de la care luptă și s-au mutat pe.
“Boxul este un lucru trecător, nu o fac pentru totdeauna. Facem propria noastră lucru. Nu sunt îngrijorat de ceea ce alți oameni au făcut.
“Ca un tată, instinctul patern începe în acest sport, deoarece în, orice se poate întâmpla. Tu nu vrei să vezi pe fiul tău ajunge rănit. Deci, ne antrenăm pentru orice împrejurare. Din cauza asta instinct, Am fost strict și greu pe fiii mei, în scopul de a încerca să le menține în condiții de siguranță.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Luptele de pe Vineri, Octombrie. 30 non-televizat Premier box Campionilor pe Undercard Bounce TV și potențial Noiembrie 14 Undercard.):
“Cu modul în care ne antrena și lupta, apărarea noastră stabilește infracțiune nostru și infracțiune nostru stabilește apărarea noastră.
“Treaba mea este de a merge acolo și de a câștiga lupte. Știu că adversarul meu este un tip înalt, dar eu, de asemenea, știu că el nu este de gând să câștige. El nu are puterea de perforare sau de general inel care am.
“După ce am câștigat, Sunt la următoarea. Am antrenat să lupte în mod constant. Sper să obține acest tip devreme, dacă este vorba și se prezintă. Apoi mi-ar plăcea să lupte pe cardul fratele meu mai mare a două săptămâni după.”
