Las Vegas (Disyembre 21, 2017) – Dalawang-division world champion Danny “Matulin” Garcia returns to the ring to take on former world champion Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios in a welterweight showdown on Sabado, Pebrero 17 nang live sa Showtime at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
Sa co-tampok, bunsong mundo boxing champion David “Ang 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 Sabado, Disyembre. 23 sa 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 sa pamamagitan ng Marso 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 ng kanyang huling 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.”
Sa kanyang huling labanan, 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.
Ngayon, 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.
Tulad 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., may 34 panalo, 25 sa pamamagitan ng knockout. 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 Hunyo 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,” Sinabi ni Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President and General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports®. “Following the January 20ika 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. 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. At saka, 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 Pebrero 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,” said Tom Brown, Pangulo ng 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, nine months old when he scored a split decision against Gavril to win the super middleweight title on Setyembre 8. The bout featured multiple swings of momentum, thrilling exchanges and a wild 12ika pag-ikot. 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.”
Sa Pebrero 17, Gavril will get it.
“No excuses this time,” Sinabi Sampson Lewkowicz ng Sampson Boxing. “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. Walang 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 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 12ika with less than a minute left in the fight. Sa huli, 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. 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

The Card Will Be Rescheduled for A Future Date
Las Vegas (Pebrero 28, 2017) – The featherweight championship match between Gary Russell Jr. and Oscar Escandon, naka-iskedyul para sa Sabado, Marso 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 may 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. 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,” sabi ni Tom Brown ng 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

Mag-iwan ng komento
Las Vegas (Enero 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’ tagataguyod, 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 araw. 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 May ika-21 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 11thsa 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, buong galang, 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 Mayo 21, kapag siya tumigil 15-1-1 Junior Wright sa 10ika 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 “Magara” tagapagtanggol, Lebedev, within 90 araw, gayunman, 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 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.

Narito kung ano ang Russell Jr., Gary Russell Sr. (Ama at trainer Gary) at Gary Antonio Russell(Nakababatang kapatid ni Gary at undefeated boxing asam) Nagkaroon sasabihin sa Martes:

GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“Pagsasanay sa kampo ay pagpunta mahusay, hindi namin karapatan sa kurso. Nagkaroon ng isang menor de edad sinok sa kampo dahil ako ay dapat na labanan sa Oktubre. 24. Sinimulan ko sparing, but once the fight got pushed back to Nobyembre 14 I cut the sparring off. Hindi ko nais upang peak masyadong maaga.
“Ngayon (Martes) ay ang aking unang araw bumalik sparing muli. Ako ay nagtatrabaho sa aking timing, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon ay malakas at matibay. Siya ay tuwid forward. Kung kanyang sulok ay matalino sila subukan na alisin ang aking bilis ng kamay na kung saan ay isang malaking kadahilanan sa paglaban. Makikita niya kailangan upang isara ang distansya, matakpan ang aking suntok kaya bilis ay hindi isang kadahilanan.
“Kami ay nagtatrabaho sa pagiging tulad ng kumportable fighting sa labas pati ako aaway sa loob.
“Ang isang pulutong ng mga mandirigma ay isa-dimensional. Kami ay nagsisikap na gumawa na diyamante shine sa lahat ng panig.
“Alam ko na ako ay maging matagumpay na walang duda. Kahit sino na makuha mo sa ring sa mga maliliit na, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Inaabot lamang ng isang shot. It’s the fighters’ job to take away that opportunity.
“Nasasabik akong makipag-away, panahon. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Ito ay tumatagal ng isang tiyak na uri ng kaisipan kayamutan at sikolohikal na lakas upang makakuha ng sa ring at magsagawa. Kahit sino na ang makakakuha sa singsing laban sa akin ay isang kampeon sa aking mga mata.
“It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“Kung nakukuha ko nakaraang Escandon nais kong ibigin upang labanan 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, kahit na siya ay nawala, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Ang pagkakaroon ng pamilya ko sa akin sa panahon ng training camp ang lahat sa akin. Ito ay kung saan nakukuha ko ang aking enerhiya mula sa. Ang isang pulutong ng mga guys dating na tila mayroon sila upang makakuha ng layo para sa training camp, ngunit hindi ko na kailangang umalis sa bahay. Ang pamilya ko ang puwersa sa paghimok sa likod ng aking training camp at kung saan mahahanap ang aking kapangyarihan at pagganyak. Sa katapusan ng araw, Kahon ko para sa aking pamilya.
“Kung ang aking kapatid na lalaki ay nagtatapos up pakikipaglaban sa aking undercard magiging napaka-cool na para sa akin. Ito ay nakatatawa dahil kung siya ay makipagkumpetensya, ikaw ay tiyak na makita ako trabaho ang kanyang corner bago ang aking mga pamagat paglaban.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Alam ko ito ay isang championship fight, ngunit kami ay pumunta sa bawat away tulad ng ito ay isang title fight. Hindi natin alam kung ang isang tonelada tungkol sa kanyang kalaban, sanayin lang namin tulad ng mga Champions.
“Mayroon akong anim na anak, lahat ng mga ito ay mga mandirigma. Lahat sila ay may iba't ibang mga katangian bilang mga tao na i-translate ang iba sa kung sino sila bilang mga tao at sa singsing.
“Antonio Russell ay 4-0, siya ay nagtrabaho talagang mahirap ang lahat ng kanyang buhay. Sa labas ng gym, siya ay maaaring ayusin ang anumang bagay. Antoine, sino lamang kwalipikado para sa Olympic trials, ay napakatalino. Ako'y sobrang ipinagmamalaki ng kanya dahil nagtapos siya lamang valedictorian ng kanyang klase na may pinakamataas na GPA ng sinuman sa county Prince George. Pagkatapos ay mayroon kang Gary, Siyang labis na mahirap na nagtatrabaho, siya ang apo hinaharap ng pamilya. Siya ay may isang lumang espiritu.
“Ipinagmamalaki ko ang lahat ng aking mga anak at ako ipinagmamalaki na kami ng isang malakas na yunit ng pamilya. Natutunan ng isang pulutong mula sa pagkawala Gary sa Vasyl Lomachenko. Kami ay may isang motto sa gym na hangs mula sa isang banner, sinasabi nito 'Tagumpay ay ang panghuli paghihiganti’ at nagbigay kami nanirahan sa pamamagitan na mula pa sa pagkawala. Natutunan namin ang isang mahalagang aral mula sa na away at lumipat sa.
“Boxing ay isang panandalian bagay, hindi mo gawin ito magpakailanman. Ginagawa namin ang aming sariling mga bagay. Hindi ako nag-aalala tungkol sa kung ano ang iba pang mga tao ay may tapos.
“Bilang isang ama, ang iyong ama na lipos kicks in dahil sa sport na ito, kahit ano ang maaaring mangyari. Hindi mo nais na makita ang iyong anak na humantong sa mga nasaktan. Kaya sanayin namin para sa anumang bagay-bagay. Dahil sa na likas na hilig, Napuntahan ko mahigpit at mahirap sa aking mga anak upang subukan upang panatilihin ang mga ito ligtas.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Labanan sa Biyernes, Oktubre. 30 non-televised Premier Boxing Champions sa Bounce TV undercard at potensyal na ang Nobyembre 14 undercard.):
“Gamit ang paraan ng aming tren at away, aming pagtatanggol set up ng aming mga pagkakasala at ang aming pagkakasala set up ang aming pagtatanggol.
“Aking trabaho ay upang pumunta doon at manalo fights. Alam ko ang aking mga kalaban ay isang tall guy, pero alam ko rin na hindi siya ay pagpunta upang manalo. Hindi siya ay magkaroon ng punching power o ring pagheheneral na mayroon akong.
“Kapag manalo ako, Ako sa susunod. Ako sinanay upang patuloy na labanan. Umaasa ako na nakukuha ko ito tao sa labas ng maaga, kung ito ay dumating at nagtatanghal ng kanyang sarili. Pagkatapos Gusto ko upang labanan sa card aking mga mas lumang kapatid na dalawang linggo matapos.”
