SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® commence à 9 p.m. HE / 6 h, heure. PT and is headlined by unbeaten middleweight star Charlo making the second defense of his 160-pound title against Hogan, a tough former world title challenger who has campaigned from super welterweight through light heavyweight.

Les billets pour le live un événement, qui est promu par les Lions des promotions spéciales et promotions TGB, are on-sale now and can be purchased atticketmaster.com et barclayscenter.comTickets also can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Les rabais de groupe sont disponibles en téléphonant 844-BKLYN-GP.

Jermall Charlo is a can’t miss attraction and one of the brightest stars in boxing,” a déclaré Tom Brown, Président de TGB Promotions. “He’ll look to make the second defense of his WBC Middleweight Championship in his fourth appearance at Barclays Center on December 7. He’ll have his hands full with the hard-charging Dennis Hogan, who many believe should be a 154-pound champion and should have earned the decision over junior middleweight champion Jaime Mungia. That performance has put him right back in a position to fight for a title and there’s no doubt that him and Jermall are going to leave it all in the ring and give fans a great fight live on SHOWTIME.

Jermall Charlo is one of those rare athletes who creates a spectacle every time he steps in the ring, et Décembre 7 sera pas différent,” said Stephen Espinoza, Président, Sportif & Programmation de l'événement, Showtime Networks Inc. “Jermall is the complete package – vitesse, puissance, athleticism and elite talentso it is no surprise that he is one of the most avoided boxers in his division. Dennis Hogan deserves credit for stepping up to a challenge which many other middleweights wouldn’t. Hogan is a tough, aggressive fighter who many believe should already be a world champion. This is an intriguing clash of styles and personalities.” 

We’re looking forward to hosting another great night of Brooklyn Boxing and to welcoming Jermall Charlo back into our ring for the fourth time,” said Keith Sheldon, EVP of Programming and Development for BSE Global. “December’s matchup against Dennis Hogan exemplifies our ongoing commitment to bringing world class fights to Barclays Center featuring the sport’s most exciting stars.

The undefeated Charlo (29-0, 21 KOs) is one of the most exciting young champions in the sport. He and his twin brother, Jermell, were super welterweight champions simultaneously between 2015-17 before Jermall decided to move up to middleweight. Charlo won the IBF Junior Middleweight title with a thrilling TKO victory over Cornelius Bundrage in 2015. He made three successful defenses, including a victory over current unified champion Julian Williams, before moving up to middleweight.

The 29-year-old has proven to be just as dominant at 160 pounds as he was at 154, with three convincing performances since moving up in weight. Charlo will be making his second defense of the WBC middleweight title and fighting for the fourth time at Barclays Center. In a homecoming defense in June on SHOWTIME, he successfully defended the title against Brandon Adams with a unanimous decision in his first bout since being elevated to full champion. In his last fight at Barclays Center he shared the card with his twin brother, Jermell, and came away with a hard-fought unanimous decision over tough veteran Matt Korobov last December.

Nobody knows Dennis Hogan like I know Dennis Hogan,” Saïd Charlo. “He likes to come straight forward with that ‘Mexican’ style. Je vais exploiter cette. Il est un combattant dur et il mérite une chance au championnat du monde parce que il a participé bien au niveau du championnat déjà.

“Je vais sur deux consécutifs de 12 Rounders et je ne me sens pas bien à ce sujet. Je suis prêt à revenir à mon truc, qui les frapper et de les sortir de là. C'est un grand combat pour moi parce que c'est mon 30e combat et je suis sur le point tourner 30.”

Hogan (28-2-1, 7 KOs) est vient de connaître une perte de décision majoritaire très mince à Jaime Munguia dans un super match de mi-moyens du championnat du monde en Avril 13 où beaucoup pensaient que Hogan a fait assez pour arracher la victoire. Le 34-year-old, qui est né en Irlande et vit maintenant dans le Queensland, Australie, est à la recherche d'une victoire nette sur Charlo dans son premier U.S. combat depuis 2016. Hogan a mis en place un combat de six victoires consécutives avant la lutte pour le titre contre Munguia.

“Je suis très heureux pour la possibilité de contester la ceinture la plus prestigieuse dans la boxe, le WBC titre mondial contre Middleweight Jermall Charlo au Barclays Center,” m'a dit Hogan. “Il ne devient pas plus grand que les combats dans Brooklyn sur SHOWTIME contre le champion invaincu poids moyen. Après la déception que je fait face en Avril au Mexique, après avoir été escroqué de la WBO moyen junior titre mondial que je crois fermement que je gagnais, Je suis extrêmement reconnaissant d'avoir une autre occasion de devenir un champion du monde.

“En tant qu'Irlandais, Je me sens à la maison à New York et ont aucun problème voyageant à l'étranger une fois de plus pour réaliser mon rêve. J'ai participé avec succès à mi-lourds et moyens en tant que professionnel et je sentirai plus fort avec les six supplémentaires livres sur Décembre 7. Je suis reconnaissant à Jermall et son équipe pour travailler avec mon l'équipe de fournir cette occasion. Je serai préparé et prêt à briller.”

LAS VEGAS (Juillet 21, 2019) – Boxing’s only eight-division world champion, Senator MannyPacMan” Pacquiao chuté Keith “Une Fois” Thurman in round one and won a close split decision to earn a welterweight world title in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event Saturday night from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

It was fun,” Saïd Pacquiao. “My opponent is a good fighter and boxer. Il était fort. I’m not that kind of boxer who talks a lot; we were just promoting the fight. I think he did his best, and I did my best. I think we made the fans happy tonight because it was a good fight.

The sell-out crowd of 14,356 got treated to great action from the start, as an exciting first round was capped off by Pacquiao dropping Thurman for the first time in his career with a straight right hand late in the round.

I knew it was too close,” Saïd Thurman. “He got the knockdown so he had momentum in round one.

Thurman made it into the second round but continued to have trouble with Pacquiao’s right hand, as the future Hall of Famer threw it successfully as a jab and a power punch throughout the fight. Thurman adjusted in the middle rounds and began to try to smother Pacquiao and walk him down, having success when he was able to get his combinations off before his opponent.

Despite blood pouring from his nose from round four on, Thurman was able to land powerful combinations on Pacquiao for much of the second half of the fight, but was never able to hurt Pacquiao or score a knockdown of his own.

I wish I had a little bit more output to go toe to toe,” Saïd Thurman. “I felt like he was getting a little bit tired, but he did have experience in the ring. My conditioning and my output was just behind Manny Pacquiao’s. I would love the rematch.

In round 10, Pacquiao’s landed a strong left hook to the body that clearly hurt Thurman and forced him to spend much of the remainder of the round backpedaling. The CompuBox scores were indicative of the close nature of the fight, with Thurman out landing Pacquiao 210 à 195, while Pacquiao was busier throwing 686 à coups de poing 571 from Thurman.

I really love the fans,” Saïd Pacquiao. “Thank you so much for coming here and witnessing the fight. I’m sure they were happy tonight because they saw a good fight. Even though Thurman lost, he did his best. He’s not an easy opponent. He’s a good boxer and he’s strong. I was just blessed tonight.


Watch the round 10 surligner ICI

Pacquiao had a large advantage in jabs landed, connexion sur 82 to Thurman’s 18. Le 192 power punches landed by Thurman was the most in 43 Pacquiao fights that CompuBox has tracked. Round-by-round, the two fighters were only separated by more than five landed punches in rounds two, seven and nine.

Après 12 tours, the judges reached a split decision, with one judge scoring the fight 114-113 for Thurman, overruled by two judges scoring it 115-112 for Pacquiao, who captured the WBA Welterweight World Championship at 40-years-old.

You get blessings and lessons,” Saïd Thurman. “Tonight was a blessing and a lesson. Thank you everybody, and thank you Manny Pacquiao.

“Je pense (I will fight) next year,” Saïd Pacquiao. “I will go back to the Philippines and work and then make a decision. I do hope to be at the (Errol) Spence vs. (Shawn) Porter fight on September 28.

The co-main event of the pay-per-view saw top contender Yordenis Ugas (24-4, 11 KOs) drop previously unbeaten Omar Figueroa (28-1-1, 19 KOs) on his way to a unanimous decision in their WBC welterweight title eliminator.

Ugas got off to a strong start, connecting on a straight right hand that sent Figueroa into the ropes, which he held onto so he didn’t hit the canvas, but enough that referee Russell Mora ruled it a knockdown.

The fight played out how I thought it would,” said Ugas. “I came out strong and Figueroa was tough as well. This was similar to the fight everyone expected. I came out on top.

Figueroa recovered and was able to make it to round two, where he continued his strategy of coming forward to try to hurt Ugas on the inside. Ugas was able to control that action on the inside, landing numerous uppercuts to stun Figueroa. Cependant, the inside fighting led to Ugas being deducted a point by the referee in round five for holding.

Ugas fought a smart fight,” a déclaré Figueroa. “He was smothering me on the inside and holding. I thought the scores were too wide. I was following him and working the whole time. I felt like he only worked the last 30 seconds of the round, but I guess that was all it took.

I didn’t have any problems with his size. I thought I was able to do my thing, but when he was holding me I couldn’t get my offense going.

Despite that, and being warned later in the fight for delivering low blows, Ugas dominated the fight according to CompuBox, out landing Figueroa 229 à 131 and connecting with 28% of his punches, to Figueroa’s 22%.

I knew Figueroa was a tough guy, so I didn’t want to waste my energy trying to take him out early,” said Ugas. “I was ready to go 12 Les manches.”

Après 12 tours, all three judges scored the fight the same, 119-107 in favor of Ugas, who became the mandatory for the winner of the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Shawn Porter welterweight title unification.

I’m extremely happy to be in this position to fight for the WBC title again,” said Ugas. “I will be ready for the winner of Errol Spence Jr. vs. Shawn Porter.

Additional action saw former world champion Sergey Lipinets (16-1, 12 KOs) score a highlight-reel knockout against Jayar Inson (18-3, 12 KOs) in the second round of their welterweight matchup.

Lipinets was originally scheduled to fight John Molina Jr., before Molina pulled out of the fight Friday morning due to a back injury. Inson, who was scheduled to fight on the non-televised undercard, stepped up to the challenge.

When I first heard the news about Molina, I knew that I wanted to still fight on a show of this magnitude,” Saïd Lipinets. “As far as fighting a southpaw, I’ve had so many amateur fights in my kickboxing career that I had no problem adjusting. Il était juste une question de temps. I also have sparred with great southpaws like Victor Ortiz throughout my career, so I was comfortable with the change in fighter.

In an exchange early in the second round, Lipinets landed a clean left hook to Inson’s head, which sent the Filipino-fighter to the canvas. Although Inson got to his feet, referee Jay Nady waved off the bout 57 secondes dans la ronde.

I got hit and I slipped, that made it look worse,” said Inson. “When I stood up I thought I was fine and tried to raise my hands and show the referee.

Joe Goossen is an exceptional trainer and he just told me to work from a different direction facing a southpaw,” Saïd Lipinets. “I just made sure to block his punches with my elbows. That was the only adjustment I had to make and it ended up working just fine.

The opening pay-per-view bout saw undefeated former champion Luis Nery (30-0, 24 KOs) deliver a ninth-round knockout of former bantamweight champion Juan Carlos Payano (21-3, 9 KOs).

I wasn’t really paying attention to how long the fight was going, I was just getting into a rhythm as it went on,” Ledit Nery. “I had to work hard to get to him because he’s a good boxer. The longer it went, the better I felt. I put my punches together well once I got going.

In a fast-paced duel of former champions, Payano had success early boxing the aggressive Nery, moving back to avoid his attack and landing his own offense against the knockout artist. Payano out landed or was even in punches landed for each of the first six rounds of the bout.

I’m a warrior and I wanted to keep going and fight back every time he came forward,” said Payano. “My coach wanted me to stay behind my jab a little more.

As the fight grew into the middle rounds, Nery began to increase the offense and was able to land power shots that slowed Payano’s ability to box from the outside. Nery hurt Payano early in round seven, eventually dominating the round, out landing his opponent 22 à 7.

He was a very complicated fighter at the beginning, he’s a veteran, so I had to try to adapt to his style to see how I could get in,” Ledit Nery. “In the fifth or sixth round I started gaining control of the fight and then that left hook came to the body which was devastating.

During the exchanges it was Nery’s second shot that was getting in,” said Payano. “We corrected the issue but then that body shot came in from nowhere and hit me in a rib that I had broken years ago against Raushee Warren.

Round eight saw Nery continue to break Payano down, most notably landing a big left hand midway through the round that caused blood to pour from Payano’s nose. During an exchange in the ninth-round, Payano landed a devastating left hook to the ribs that put Payano down. He was unable to recover and referee Vic Drakulich halted the bout 1:43 dans la ronde.

I wanted to get him out early,” Ledit Nery. “But this showed that I do have the experience to go into the later rounds and still take out my opponent. I showed that I have good defense and can make adjustments.

The FOX PBC Fight Night main event on FOX and FOX Deportes saw IBF Super Middleweight World Champion Caleb “Sweethands” Usine (19-0, 11 KOs) retain his title with a dominant third-round knockout over previously unbeaten Mike Lee (21-1, 11 KOs).

It went exactly how I planned it would go,” ladite plante. “Absolument. I’ve been telling you all week it wasn’t going to go 12 rounds and I stuck to my word and I tried to do that. I hope you guys had a good time.

Plant got off to a fast-start, dropping Lee with a left hook late in the first round. The unbeaten challenger was able to recover and survive the round, but was hard-pressed to make up for the hand speed advantage of Plant.

I think I have a high boxing IQ and I do this at a really high level,” ladite plante. “So it was just about making adjustments. Ce est un grand, strong guy and he just came in here to give it his all.

Lee looked to charge in hard against Plant and use his size and power to land a big shot and change the momentum of the fight. Plant was sharp and avoided the looping right hands that Lee was attacking with.

The speed was the difference, he’s fast and very accurate,” a déclaré Lee. “I had some success with my right hands but wasn’t able to be consistent with it.

Dans la troisième manche, Plant landed a vicious right hook early in the round that put Lee down for the second time. After a left hook appeared to connect and send Lee down a second time, referee Robert Byrd ruled it had come from a push and continued the fight once Lee got to his feet.

Plant had his opponent hurt and continued to press forward, eventually landing another left hook that put Lee down, this time forcing the referee to wave off the bout 1:29 dans la ronde.

I had no issue with the stoppage, that’s the referee’s job and I respect it,” a déclaré Lee.

Après le combat, Benavidez was asked about a possible unification fight against the winner of the just announced Anthony Dirrell vs. David Benavidez WBC Super Middleweight Championship fight.

“Oh oui, we can definitely unify,” ladite plante. “I ain’t hard to get a hold of. I ain’t hard to make a fight with. Come see me. You know my advisor.

The opening bout on FOX and FOX Deportes saw bande dessinée Ajagba (11-0, 9 KOs) marquer une décision unanime sur Ali Eren Demirezen (11-1, 10 KOs) in a 10-round battle of undefeated heavyweights. It was the first time that two unbeaten fighters from the 2016 Olympics faced off as pros.

Ajagba used his jab and height effectively throughout the fight, atterrissage 10 de 45 jabs per round, doubling the heavyweight average. Cependant, an elbow injury and the accurate punching of Demirezen forced Ajagba to go the distance for the first time as a pro.

This was the first fighter to take me the distance,” Ledit Ajagba. “He was strong and could take my punches. My trainer just told me to keep using my jab and stay in the middle of the ring.

I hurt my elbow early on, so I couldn’t shoot my right hand like I wanted. But I won’t use that as an excuse. As a tall man I had to use the jab and if it went the distance, that was my best way to win.

Demirezen thought the scorecards should have been closer and believed that his performance should have garnered him more than the decision loss. Demirezen was actually the more accurate puncher, atterrissage 26% of his punches to 22% from Ajagba.

I don’t agree with the scores, especially 99-91said Demirezen. “It was much closer. I feel that at minimum, it was a draw. I knew I had to knock him out and that a knockout might be easier than winning by points. I thought it was a good performance but I can do better. I’d like to fight in the U.S. de nouveau.”

Ajagba’s activity from start to finish was impressive, as he threw 877 poinçons totales, atterrissage 191. While Demirezen was not far behind with 149 punches landed, he only out landed Ajagba in three rounds.

Après 10 rounds of action all three judges scored the fight in favor of Ajagba, par des dizaines de 99-91 deux fois et 97-93.

Thurman broke down all of his title performances in anticipation of the fight that could cement his place amongst boxing’s best of this era.

KO 10 Diego Chaves, Juillet 27, 2013, AT&T Center, San Antonio: The 24-year-old Thurman came off a near-shutout unanimous decision over former champion Jan Zaveck in March 2013 and faced an unbeaten Argentine interim WBA champion who was after his fifth consecutive stoppage win and had knocked out 18 de 22 adversaires.

Thurman traded early power shots, controlled tempo with his athleticism and boxing ability and floored Chaves with a ninth round left hook to the liver before dropping him for the final time with a right hand in the 10e tour. Chaves failed to beat the count as Thurman became a 147-pound titleholder.

The Diego Chaves fight was the biggest fight of my career, elevating me to the WBA interim champion,” Saïd Thurman. “I broke him down round by round and landed a beautiful body shot in the ninth round and after that it was a matter of time. That was a fight that earned me worldwide respect and was the start of everything for me.

OMS 9 Jésus Soto Karass, Décembre 14, 2013, Alamodome, San Antonio:Soto Karassprevious victory was a 12th-round stoppage of two-time belt holder Andre Berto in a fight that saw him rise from an 11th-round knockdown. Hurt by a hard right in the first round, Thurman recovered, flooring Soto Karass with a left uppercut in the fifth and again from a powerful combination in the ninth as the referee ended matters.

Soto Karass was coming off a victory over Andre Berto which made it an important measuring stick fight for me,” Saïd Thurman, “He did open the fight by tagging me in the first round, but I dropped him in the fifth and again in the ninth and was able to finish him off for my first title defense.


RTD 3 Julio Diaz, Avril 26, 2014, StubHub Center, Carson, Californie: In a one-sided beat-down, former champion Diaz took a knee from a left to the temple the second round and retired prior to the fourth from a body shot that caused rib damage. Diaz never fought again.

That was a tremendous fight for me as the headliner in my first main event,” Saïd Thurman. “Diaz was coming off of good showings against Shawn Porter, fighting Porter to a draw once, and Amir Khan, whom he dropped in their fight. I also had the opportunity to make a statement. I did that by stopping him in only three rounds.

UD 12 Léonard Bundu, Décembre 13, 2014, the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas: A previously unbeaten 40-year-old switch-hitting veteran, Bundu (31-1-2, 11 KO) was dropped by a first-round right hand in a shutout victory (120-107 trois fois) for Thurman who ended an eight-month ring absence and was recovering from an injured left shoulder.


Bundu was a switch-hitting awkward fighter. I switched [to southpaw] on him in the first round and dropped him with a right hand,” Saïd Thurman. “I out boxed him and really gave the world a taste of how good of a boxer I am. It was an easy blowout.

UD 12 Robert Guerrero, Mars 7, 2015, the MGM Grand Grand Garden Arena: Thurman entered this bout after having been elevated to the full champion before facing Guerrero (32-3-1, 18 KOs), a two-division title winner. He overcame a grotesque hematoma above his left eye from an accidental clash of heads, chuté “The Ghost” in the ninth-round, and lost a combined four rounds in PBC’s first ever main event.

Guerrero had fought Floyd Mayweather and I was happy to have a common opponent with Floyd, so that I could prove to the world that I deserved a shot at Mayweather,” Saïd Thurman. “I had to overcome that adversity of having that hematoma by knocking him down in the ninth round. That fight really raised my stock to another level.

In a homecoming fight, Thurman opened a deep gash over Collazo’s right eye with his own left hook, eventually resulting in the southpaw’s retiring on his stool after the seventh round.

I was able to survive that body shot to perform in the next round. The fight was taking its toll on him though. I was becoming more comfortable and accurate as I physically broke him down,” Saïd Thurman. “The arena was electric, and the love was amazing. It was a great homecoming to defend my world title near where I grew up in Clearwater, Floride.”

Highlights were Thurman’s clean right hand-left hook combination that buckled Porter’s knees late in the third round, a 10th-round left hook that did the same, and an even more vicious head-swiveling hook in Round 11 of a Fight of The Year standout from 2016.

Our fight was tough, back and forth, but by no means was Shawn Porter going to take my title,” Saïd Thurman. “I pushed myself over the final rounds to make sure I’d be victorious in what was one of the ‘Fight of The Yearcontenders that year. That fight proved to everyone that I can win any type of fight, against any type of fighter.

Dakota du Sud 12 Danny Garcia, Mars 4, 2017, Barclays Center: Thurman won a clash of 28-year-olds over the then unbeaten Garcia (33-0, 19 KOs), along with the WBC’s crown in just the 10th title unification in division history and only the third between a pair of unbeaten fighters. The crowd of 16,533 represented the highest attended boxing match at Barclays Center to date. Thurman’s movement disrupted the timing of Garcia, a Philadelphia-based fighter who was a unified champion at 140-pounds.

This was two undefeated welterweights going toe-to-toe in the prime of their careers. Danny Garcia’s a sharp puncher who won the WBC’s vacant title that Floyd Mayweather gave up for retirement,” Saïd Thurman. “But after beating Shawn Porter, I knew Danny would be an easy fight. This was my first chance to beat an undefeated world champion, and I came out swinging on him in round one to make a statement that his world title was about to be mine.

Does Manny belong in the ring with a fighter in his prime? Is Keith Thurman still Keith ‘One TimeThurman after some vulnerability against Josesito Lopez?” Saïd Thurman, rhetorically speaking. “Bien sûr, I’d like to get the knockout or TKO, but either way, you’re going to see a world class performance that has me standing alone on top of a division that has so many great fighters. I’m trying to be that great, devastating champion once again, and come July 20, I will prove that I am.

Coming off a majority decision over Josesito Lopez that ended a 22-month ring absence in January, Thurman (29-0, 22 KOs), 30, had won a close unanimous decision over former title holder “Afficher L'Heure” Shawn Porter in June 2016 and a split-decision over two-division title winner Danny “Rapide” Garcia in March 2017, adding Garcia’s WBC crown to his WBA version, before he vacated the WBC title due to injury.

Thurman broke down all of his title performances in anticipation of the fight that could cement his place amongst boxing’s best of this era.

KO 10 Diego Chaves, Juillet 27, 2013, AT&T Center, San Antonio: The 24-year-old Thurman came off a near-shutout unanimous decision over former champion Jan Zaveck in March 2013 and faced an unbeaten Argentine interim WBA champion who was after his fifth consecutive stoppage win and had knocked out 18 de 22 adversaires.

Thurman traded early power shots, controlled tempo with his athleticism and boxing ability and floored Chaves with a ninth round left hook to the liver before dropping him for the final time with a right hand in the 10e tour. Chaves failed to beat the count as Thurman became a 147-pound titleholder.

The Diego Chaves fight was the biggest fight of my career, elevating me to the WBA interim champion,” Saïd Thurman. “I broke him down round by round and landed a beautiful body shot in the ninth round and after that it was a matter of time. That was a fight that earned me worldwide respect and was the start of everything for me.

OMS 9 Jésus Soto Karass, Décembre 14, 2013, Alamodome, San Antonio:Soto Karassprevious victory was a 12th-round stoppage of two-time belt holder Andre Berto in a fight that saw him rise from an 11th-round knockdown. Hurt by a hard right in the first round, Thurman recovered, flooring Soto Karass with a left uppercut in the fifth and again from a powerful combination in the ninth as the referee ended matters.

Soto Karass was coming off a victory over Andre Berto which made it an important measuring stick fight for me,” Saïd Thurman, “He did open the fight by tagging me in the first round, but I dropped him in the fifth and again in the ninth and was able to finish him off for my first title defense.


RTD 3 Julio Diaz, Avril 26, 2014, StubHub Center, Carson, Californie: In a one-sided beat-down, former champion Diaz took a knee from a left to the temple the second round and retired prior to the fourth from a body shot that caused rib damage. Diaz never fought again.

That was a tremendous fight for me as the headliner in my first main event,” Saïd Thurman. “Diaz was coming off of good showings against Shawn Porter, fighting Porter to a draw once, and Amir Khan, whom he dropped in their fight. I also had the opportunity to make a statement. I did that by stopping him in only three rounds.

UD 12 Léonard Bundu, Décembre 13, 2014, the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas: A previously unbeaten 40-year-old switch-hitting veteran, Bundu (31-1-2, 11 KO) was dropped by a first-round right hand in a shutout victory (120-107 trois fois) for Thurman who ended an eight-month ring absence and was recovering from an injured left shoulder.


Bundu was a switch-hitting awkward fighter. I switched [to southpaw] on him in the first round and dropped him with a right hand,” Saïd Thurman. “I out boxed him and really gave the world a taste of how good of a boxer I am. It was an easy blowout.

UD 12 Robert Guerrero, Mars 7, 2015, the MGM Grand Grand Garden Arena: Thurman entered this bout after having been elevated to the full champion before facing Guerrero (32-3-1, 18 KOs), a two-division title winner. He overcame a grotesque hematoma above his left eye from an accidental clash of heads, chuté “The Ghost” in the ninth-round, and lost a combined four rounds in PBC’s first ever main event.

Guerrero had fought Floyd Mayweather and I was happy to have a common opponent with Floyd, so that I could prove to the world that I deserved a shot at Mayweather,” Saïd Thurman. “I had to overcome that adversity of having that hematoma by knocking him down in the ninth round. That fight really raised my stock to another level.

RTD 7 Luis Collazo, Juillet 11, 2015, USF Sundome, Tampa: Thurman overcame a crippling left hand to the liver in the fifth round to become only the man to stop Collazo, a former champion who had gone the distance in losses to Ricky Hatton, Shane Mosley, Andre Berto and Amir Khan. In a homecoming fight, Thurman opened a deep gash over Collazo’s right eye with his own left hook, eventually resulting in the southpaw’s retiring on his stool after the seventh round.

I was able to survive that body shot to perform in the next round. The fight was taking its toll on him though. I was becoming more comfortable and accurate as I physically broke him down,” Saïd Thurman. “The arena was electric, and the love was amazing. It was a great homecoming to defend my world title near where I grew up in Clearwater, Floride.”

Does Manny belong in the ring with a fighter in his prime? Is Keith Thurman still Keith ‘One TimeThurman after some vulnerability against Josesito Lopez?” Saïd Thurman, rhetorically speaking. “Bien sûr, I’d like to get the knockout or TKO, but either way, you’re going to see a world class performance that has me standing alone on top of a division that has so many great fighters. I’m trying to be that great, devastating champion once again, and come July 20, I will prove that I am.

WBC Super Welterweight Champion Tony Harrison Injures Ankle & is Forced to Withdraw from Rematch Against Former Champion Jermell Charlo

Hard-Hitting & Dangerous Jorge Cota to Step In and Replace Harrison Sunday, Juin 23 in FOX PBC Fight Night on FOX & FOX Deportes Main Event at Mandalay Bay Events Center

in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (Juin 3, 2019) – Champion du monde des super mi-moyens Tony Harrison injured his ankle in training last week and has withdrawn from his title defense against former world champion Jermell Charlo that was scheduled to headline FOX PBC Fight Night on FOX and FOX Deportes Sunday, Juin 23 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

Harrison has an inner and outer ankle sprain with torn ligaments in his right ankle and he will be out for 10 weeks before he can resume training. Harrison and Charlo plan to have their rematch later this year.

Stepping in to replace Harrison for a 12-round fight is the always dangerousJorge Cota (28-3, 25 KOs), who most recently lost a disputed split-decision in April on FS1 against Jeison Rosario. The 31-year old from Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico had scored three straight knockout victories before the defeat in April.

Watching my Mexican brother Andy Ruiz fight last weekend, I am very motivated,” said Cota. “I saw how he got an unexpected chance to become a champion and surprise the world. He has inspired me to win this fight in the same way. I will shock the world on June 23 just like Andy did on Saturday, for Mexico, the country that I love. This is the most important fight of my career.

As we have seen from Andy Ruiz’s incredible upset of Anthony Joshua in the heavyweight championship fight on Saturday night, replacement fighters are not to be taken as a joke,” a déclaré Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions. “Jorge Cota is a dangerous fighter. He has heavy hands and he’s looking for an opportunity to make a statement. Jermell Charlo realizes just how serious this is and he wants to get his title back. I know he’s going to be prepared to make his own statement.

The 29-year-old Charlo will now have to wait for his opportunity to avenge the only loss of his career and regain his title against Harrison. Combats de Houston, Texas, Charlo won the vacant WBC title with a devastating knockout victory over John Jackson in 2016. He made three successful defenses of the title with highlight-reel knockouts over Charles Hatley and Erickson Lubin, plus a majority decision win over former champion Austin Trout.

It feels like a heartbreak,” Saïd Charlo. “I was ready to destroy Tony Harrison and now I’m going to get in there and destroy Cota. I always pray for my opponent to have safe care and make it to the fight healthy. It’s unfortunate that Tony Harrison isn’t my next victim. I want the best Harrison so I want him healed up and ready to go, because that will only bring out the best in me.

I feel my title was taken from me and being held hostage and I want it back. I will go through anything to get it back. The moment he’s cleared to fight I want the match and I will get my title back. I’m going in June 23 for a dominant victory with a ferocious attitude and a mindset to destroy, because I know I can’t leave it to the judges anymore.

Harrison’s injury is the latest twist in the super welterweight division that started last December when Harrison and Charlo’s first encounter took place live on FOX. Harrison won the decision to upset Charlo and take away the title. The close nature of the bout helped warrant an immediate rematch that promises to be just as highly charged and dramatic. Julien “J-Rock” Williams scored a hard-fought unanimous decision over Jarrett Hurd as the IBF and WBA titles changed hands as well in May.

This setback for Harrison, who is from Detroit and was trained early in his career by the late Emanuel Steward, is another challenge for the 28-year-old champion. Harrison was on track for a title shot before suffering the first loss of his career in 2015 to Willie Nelson. After three-straight wins, he earned a shot at the vacant 154-pound title against Jarrett Hurd. Although Harrison had strong moments in the fight, he eventually lost to Hurd and was forced to again climb to the top. After another three victories, including a win over former champion Ishe Smith, Harrison took advantage of his second world title opportunity against Charlo.

Harrison and Charlo’s first encounter took place live on FOX in December as Harrison earned the decision and upset Charlo to earn the title. The close nature of the bout helped warrant an immediate rematch that promises to be just as highly charged and dramatic.

Tony Harrison and Jermell Charlo showed off their elite talent to the world in their first bout and I anticipate an even more explosive showdown in the rematch on June 23,” a déclaré Tom Brown, Président de TGB Promotions. “Harrison will no doubt be at his very best again as he looks to establish himself in the championship ranks. Jermell Charlo is certainly more motivated than ever to reclaim his spot atop the 154-pound division. Fans tuning in on FOX and FOX Deportes in primetime and in attendance at Mandalay Bay Events Center are in for an action-packed Sunday night.

Harrison (28-2, 21 KOs) has proven to beDetroit toughduring a boxing career inspired by early years trained and managed by the late Emanuel Steward. He had to climb back into title contention twice before reaching the top with his unanimous decision victory over Charlo last December.

Harrison was on track for a title shot before suffering the first loss of his career in 2015 to Willie Nelson. After three-straight wins, he earned a shot at the vacant 154-pound title against Jarrett Hurd. Although Harrison had strong moments in the fight, he eventually lost to Hurd and was forced to again climb to the top. After another three victories, including a win over former champion Ishe Smith, Harrison took advantage of his second world title opportunity against Charlo.

Being a world champion now, I’m excited to defend my title for the first time in this rematch that everyone is looking forward to,” M. Harrison. “I think there’s actually more pressure on Charlo, just like last time. It’s just a blessing for me to be fighting on FOX and FOX Deportes Sunday, Juin 23. Everyone is going to be tuned-in to this fight and we’re going to bring the action to Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, the capital of the boxing world. I plan on doing the exact same thing to Jermell that I did in December. I’m going to get the win, and then I don’t want to hear any more crying or excuses.

The 28-year-old Charlo (31-1, 15 KOs) suffered the first setback of his career with the close unanimous decision loss to Harrison. Combats de Houston, Texas, Charlo won the vacant WBC title with a devastating knockout victory over John Jackson in 2016. He made three successful defenses of the title with highlight-reel knockouts over Charles Hatley and Erickson Lubin, plus a majority decision win over former champion Austin Trout.

Charlo is trained in Dallas by Derrick James, who was recognized as the 2017 Trainer of the Year by Yahoo Sports and also works with welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. Charlo is one-minute younger than his identical twin brother, Jermall, who is the WBC interim middleweight champion and a former 154-pound champion.

I am in a ruthless state of mind. I am upset and this upcoming fight, I am going to give it 110 pour cent,” Saïd Charlo. “I am way hungrier now than I was before. I am not desperate for a win because I know how to win. The judges gave me a bad decision because I didn’t get the knockout, but you don’t have to knock everybody out to beat them. He knows he didn’t beat me. He knows exactly what happened. He knows he can’t beat me. If I have to go in there and prove it again, I will.

Rigondeaux (18-1, 12 KOs) will look to show off the masterful technical skills that made him a unified world champion and perennial member of the pound-for-pound list when he steps into the ring on June 23. Un double médaillé d'or olympique pour son Cuba natal, Rigondeaux s'est fait un nom avec des victoires contre Nonito Donaire, Rico Ramos and Joseph Agbeko. The 38-year-old most recently knocked out Giovanni Delgado in January on FS1.

Fighting out of Tlalnepantla, Mexique, Sourcil (32-3, 28 KOs) won an interim world title at super bantamweight in 2015 by stopping Hugo Ruiz in the fifth-round. The 26-year-old would lose the full title to Ruiz in their rematch in 2016, but has won two of three fights since, including a knockout of Anselmo Moreno.

ATLANTIC CITY (Avril 13, 2019) - Claressa Shields est la championne incontestée des poids moyens du monde. Le silex de 24 ans, moi. natif a livré la meilleure performance de sa carrière et est arrivé à une décision unanime contre l'Allemande Christina Hammer samedi sur SHOWTIME dans sans doute le match de boxe féminine le plus important de l'histoire. Les juges ont marqué la lutte 98-92 et 98-91 deux fois.


Shields, double médaillé d'or olympique (9-0, 2 KOs), qui est entré dans le combat tenant l'IBF, Titres WBA et WBC 160 livres, a montré son arsenal complet de compétences dans la performance dominante et rejoint maintenant Terrence Crawford, Jermain Taylor, Bernard Hopkins, Oleksandr Usyk et les poids welters féminins Cecilia Braekhus sont les seuls combattants à avoir unifié les quatre grands titres mondiaux dans toutes les catégories de poids.


Christina Marteau (24-0, 11 KOs), qui possédait la ceinture WBO entrant dans le combat, avait son jab largement neutralisé et sa défense exploitée du début à la fin. Shields a décroché un remarquable 44% de son pouvoir frappe et atterrit sur 112 nombre total de coups par rapport à seulement 49 pour Hammer. Aussi impressionnante que son offense était, La défense et le mouvement de la tête de Shields étaient impeccables car Hammer a pu se connecter juste 13% de ses coups totaux, 11% de ses coups et 18% de ses coups de puissance.


S'adressant à l'analyste du Hall of Fame de SHOWTIME, Steve Farhood, après la soirée historique de la boxe féminine, les boucliers francs et émotionnels n'ont rien retenu.


«Je suis la plus grande femme de tous les temps,»A déclaré Shields, qui a failli gagner un arrêt lors d'un barrage dans les derniers instants du huitième round. "Je l'ai fait. Elle n’a pas remporté un seul tour. Je l'ai presque assommée. Je jure que je sens que je rêve en ce moment. Merci à Christina Hammer et à son équipe. Ils ont dit qu'elle avait eu un coup dur et qu'ils ne mentaient pas. Son jab est hors de la chaîne.


«Je calculais juste au premier tour et après cela j'ai commencé à la séparer," elle a continué. «Je savais que je pouvais lui faire du mal. Je pensais que je l'avais terminée au huitième round. Je pensais que le combat aurait dû être arrêté. Elle me tenait. Je viens de me dire, Reste calme, Reste calme. J'essayais d'obtenir le coup de poing parfait pour la faire sortir de là.


Fraîchement sortie de la plus grande victoire de sa carrière professionnelle, la championne incontestée du monde nouvellement couronnée a déjà ses vues sur un autre adversaire.


"Boxe féminine, nous sommes en feu. J'ai hâte de voir le prochain super combat. Donnez-moi Cecilia Brækhus à 154 livres. C’est ce que je veux ensuite. Soit elle, soit Savannah Marshall.


«Je ne me suis pas battu très bien ou vite,»Dit un marteau maîtrisé. "C'est de la boxe, tout peut arriver. Je voulais ce combat. Elle a gagné, respect pour elle. Elle est dure, femme forte et c’est tout ce que je peux dire.


«Elle est rapide, elle s'avance. Elle a des mains rapides. Je n'ai pas pu réussir mon jab aussi bien que prévu. Je reviendrai et je reviendrai plus fort. "


“Je pense que le combat de ce soir restera dans les livres d’histoire comme une bataille épique avec Ali-Frazier, Leonard-Hearns et De La Hoya-Trinidad,” ledit Dmitriy Salita, Président de Salita Promotions.“Avec cette performance dominante et captivante pour devenir la championne incontestée des poids moyens couronnée, associée à sa liste de réalisations record, Claressa Shields est en bonne voie d'être aussi vénérée que Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Serena Williams, Michael Jordan, Pelé et d'autres au sommet de leur forme.”


Dans le combat co-vedette, Jermaine Franklin (18-0, 13 KOs), largement considéré comme le meilleur espoir des poids lourds américains, a gardé son record invaincu intact avec une décision unanime de 10 rounds sur l'ancien Non. 1-classé U.S. amateur Booker Rydell (25-2, 12 KOs). Les juges ont marqué la lutte 99-91 et 98-91 deux fois.


Franklin, 25 ans, a dicté le tempo tout au long et était beaucoup plus actif et agressif que son homologue de 38 ans.. Booker a eu ses moments, en particulier dans les premiers tours quand il a réussi plusieurs coups puissants mais le jeune Franklin s'est éloigné dans la seconde moitié du combat alors que Booker était fatigué et Franklin ciblait le corps.. Franklin en moyenne 54 poinçons par tour vers Booker 35 et conduit 146-94 dans l'ensemble coups de poing débarqué.


«Je pense que j'ai eu une performance décente,»Dit le Saginaw, moi. indigène. "Il y a des choses sur lesquelles je pourrais travailler. Je me suis un peu surpeuplé et j'étais un peu trop anxieux. Il avait beaucoup plus d'expérience que moi et l'a utilisé à son avantage. Il pouvait voir ce que je faisais.


«J'ai appris à rester plus patient car je l'ai fait blesser plusieurs fois, mais une fois que je suis devenu trop anxieux, tout mon plan de match est sorti par la fenêtre. J'ai commencé à foirer et à faire des erreurs folles que je n'aurais pas dû. Maintenant, c'est de retour à la planche à dessin pour travailler sur mes erreurs et en sortir de plus en plus mal la prochaine fois. "


«J'ai senti qu'il me surpassait, mais c'était beaucoup plus proche que la façon dont les juges l'ont marqué,”A déclaré Booker. «Il me manquait beaucoup plus qu'il n'y paraissait. J'ai glissé beaucoup de coups et l'ai frappé propre.


«Je savais qu'il apporterait la pression, mais il a besoin de beaucoup de travail. Il reste trop centré avec sa tête. Il va bien. Ce qu'il a de son côté, c'est la jeunesse. J'évaluerais ma performance à environ sept. J'avais une blessure au camp d'entraînement dont je souffrais. Je vais rester actif et revenir plus fort que jamais. »


Dans l'ouvreur télédiffusé, Otto Wallin, un espoir des poids lourds classé parmi les cinq premiers invaincus (20-0, 13 KOs, 1 Dakota du Nord) et Nick Kisner de Baltimore (21-4-1, 6 KOs, 1 Dakota du Nord) ont vu leur combat de 10 rounds écourté lorsque les deux poids lourds se sont affrontés lors du premier round. Wallin a subi une entaille sur le côté de la tête tandis que Kisner a subi une coupure à l'œil droit, entraver sa capacité à voir. Sur les conseils du médecin du ring entre les tours un et deux, l'arbitre Earl Brown a arrêté le combat, résultant en une non-décision.


Au moment de l'arrêt, Wallin conduit 14-3 dans l'ensemble coups de poing débarqué, 7-1 en jabs et 7-2 dans les coups de poing.


"Tome, sa coupe n'avait pas l'air si mal,»Dit un Wallin déçu, qui faisait son U.S. début. "C'est dommage parce que je me suis entraîné très dur pour ce combat et que je cherchais à faire un spectacle pour les fans en Amérique. Je n’ai tout simplement pas eu le temps de me lancer.


«J'aimerais y retourner bientôt et montrer ce que je peux faire. Je vais prendre cela comme une expérience d'apprentissage. "


«J'ai attrapé un coup de tête et l'arbitre est venu vers moi,”A déclaré Kisner. «Il m'a vu me glisser dans les yeux et a dit: peux-tu voir?' J'ai dit, «Dès que je sors le sang de mon œil, sûr.'


«Je me sens horrible après un entraînement si dur. Je me sentais bien au premier tour. Les juges lui ont probablement donné le premier tour, mais je décolle toujours le premier tour. J'avais l'impression de pouvoir l'atteindre éventuellement. Vous m'avez vu atterrir à droite.


L'événement en direct de ce soir a été promu par Salita Promotions.


Une présentation en rappel du triple-tête de ce soir sera diffusée lundi à 10 p.m. ET / PT sur SHOWTIME EXTREME et sera disponible via les plates-formes à la demande du réseau.
