קני "לב האריה" לרסון של סאלם מאתגר את מסה. אלוף משקל וילטר דנזל וויטלי בקרב לקוחות פוטנציאליים בלתי מנוצחים ב-11 במרץ במרכז MassMutual בספרינגפילד, תואר שני

קווינסי, מסה. (פבואר 27, 2023) - סגנונות יוצרים קרבות וקלאסיקה מיידית פוטנציאלית נמצאת ב-Tab March 11ה באירוע המרכזי "אליפות ספרינגפילד אגרוף 2"., כאשר קני "לב אריה" לארסון הבלתי מנוצח (6-0, 5 קוס) מאתגר את כרטיס ההגנה של מדינת מסצ'וסטס, אלוף משקל וולטר, דנזל "דאבל אימפקט" וויטלי (10-0, 6 קוס) בכותרת הראשית של 8 סיבובים, במרכז MassMutual בספרינגפילד, מסצ'וסטס.

"אליפות ספרינגפילד אגרוף 2", מוצג על ידי Granite Chin Promotions (GCP), ישודר בשידור חי ב-BXNGTV.com.

"לקרב הזה יש את כל היתרונות להיות אחד מאותם קרבות מקומיים שאנשים מדברים עליהם במשך שנים,", נשיא GCP כריס טראיטי הגיב. "יש לך בחור היפר אגרסיבי כמו קני שמתמודד מול אגרוף נגד חלקלק כמו דנזל. שני החבר'ה בלתי מנוצחים ויש תואר מדינה על הפרק. כל הכבוד לשני החבר'ה על הקרב הזה, כזה שאף אחד לא ירצה לפספס".

לרסון, 33, הוא לוחם אולטרה אגרסיבי שמפעיל לחץ כל הזמן על יריבו; וויטלי הוא אגרוף נגד אינטליגנטי שמפרק את הבחור השני בזירה. מסתבר שזה יהיה עימות מרגש כדי לקבוע מי נלחם במאבק שלו. זה כל כך נדיר שזוג לקוחות פוטנציאליים בלתי מנוצחים נלחמים זה בזה כל כך מוקדם בקריירה המקצועית שלהם.

"אנחנו מחפשים להראות ששנינו רציניים," הסביר לרסון. שנינו רוצים לצאת בהצהרות! כל עוד אני עושה את מה שאני אמור לעשות, נלחם כמוני בחדר כושר, זה לא משנה שאני נלחם בו בצווארו של היער. (וויטלי היא מהוליוק, שהוא רק 8 קילומטרים מהמקום של ספרינגפילד.) לילה אחד אמר לי מעריץ, 'אתה נלחם עם לב של אריה'. לא יכולתי לחשוב על כינוי טוב יותר עבורי. הוא (ויטלי) ניצח את קריס ג'ייקובס (WMDEC8) בקרב האחרון שלו (ללכוד את המיסה הפנויה. תואר במשקל בינוני) ודפקתי בחור (ריאן קלארק) בסיבוב הראשון מי ניצח את ג'ייקובס.

"נראה מה יקרה כשהמטבח יתחיל להתחמם (לעומת. ויטלי). לכולם יש תוכנית להיכנס לקרב. כל מי שמכיר אותי מכיר את הנכסים שלי ומה יש לי בשבילו. צפיתי בו (ויטלי) בקלטת וראיתי כמה דברים שעניינו אותי. די השתעשעתי ממה שהיה לו להגיד. תן לקלפים להניח היכן שהם יכולים ונראה במה זה מסתכם. יהיו לי שם אנשים בשבילי. תמיד היה לי קהל עצום מאחורי מאז שהייתי חובבן בגלל הסגנון הידידותי למעריצים שלי".

לרסון היה שחקן הוקי שלא הרים אגרוף עד שהיה בתיכון. הוא התחיל בחדר כושר שלא היה, כפי שהוא תיאר, סופר רציני לגבי אגרוף, יותר לכושר, ויום אחד חבר הציע לו ללכת להתאמן במועדון האגרוף של סומרוויל., שבו שינה את חייו,  הן בתוך ומחוץ לזירה.  

"הכל שם היה רציני," דיווח לרסון. "הדברים הקליקו והיה לי מיקוד וכיוון. הייתה לי בעיית שימוש בסמים, שְׁתִיָה, אבל שיניתי התמכרות משתייה לאיגרוף בפעם האחרונה 10 שנים. היום, אין לי ימי חופש מאיגרוף".

לרסון מתאמן כעת מאגרוף ברודווי באוורט (תואר שני) עם ג'ו ריקארדי כמאמן הראשי שלו.

יליד סאלם (תואר שני), לרסון היה סגן אלוף כפפות הזהב של מרכז ניו אינגלנד 3 פעמים, וכן א 2016 אלוף כפפות הזהב של ניו אינגלנד במחלקת מתחילים.

ה-O חייב ללכת על לארסון או על וויטלי. האוהדים יהיו המנצחים הגדולים ביותר!

האחים קרוז, ישעיהו קל משקל (5-0, 3 קוס) וקאליקסטו קל משקל במיוחד (1-0), נלחם מחוץ לספרינגפילד, שניהם יהיו בפעולה מול המעריצים, משפחה, וחברים. באירוע המשותף בן 6 הסיבובים, אייזיאה "בייבי ווריור" קרוז יתמודד מול אקים "אקשן אקשן" ג'קסון (6-5, 5 קוס) באירוע המשותף בן 6 הסיבובים, בעוד קליקסטו פוגש את לואיס "ברוקולי" ג'ררדו אווילה (8-22-3, 5 קוס) בהתקף 4 עגול.

כמו כן, לוח הזמנים לפעילות הוא קרלוס קסטילו, המשקל הדומיניקני הבלתי מנוצח (6-0, 4 קוס), של הוליוק (תואר שני); איאן "דינמיט" גרסיה, סופר קל משקל פורטוריקני (2-0-1, 1 KO), של ספרינגפילד; ספרינגפילד במשקל נוצה סופר קרלוס גונזלס (4-0, 4 קוס), וספרינגפילד סופר קלת משקל ליז האמפריז (0-1-1)

כרטיסים למכירה עכשיו!

לאס וגאס (אוקטובר 13, 2021) – WBA Welterweight Champion ג'מאל "שאנגו" ג'יימס will defend his title against unbeaten contender Radzhab Butaev in a 12-round duel that headlines a night of action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, אוקטובר 30 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® המשדר מתחיל ב 10 p.m. ET p.m / 7. PT and features rising welterweight star Jaron “Boots” Ennis in a 10-round showdown against veteran contender תומס Dulorme באירוע המשותף העיקרית. Kicking off the telecast, exciting unbeaten lightweight contender מישל ריברה faces Argentina’s Matías Romero ב אטרקציה 10-עגולה.

כרטיסים לאירוע בשידור חי, המקודם על ידי מבצעי TGB, are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com. אניס נגד. Dulorme is promoted in association with D&אגרוף. ריברה vs. Romero is promoted in association with Sampson Boxing.

“A stacked lineup of top contenders and up-and-coming future champions will be on full display October 30 on SHOWTIME in Las Vegas,אמר טום בראון, נשיא מבצעי TGB. “Jamal James has battled his way to the highest levels of the welterweight division and will get one step closer to gathering elite status if he can overcome the unbeaten Radzhab Butaev. The undercard bouts will also feature two rising stars, as Jaron Ennis and Michel Rivera look to impress in tough matchups on a big stage.”

Minneapolis’ James (27-1, 12 קוס) returns to action after his previous outing saw him earn an interim title by defeating Thomas Dulorme in August 2020, before later being upgraded to the “regular” championship. The 33-year-old is riding a seven-bout winning streak that includes triumphs over Abel Ramos, Diego Gabriel Chaves and Antonio DeMarco, with four of those matchups coming in his hometown, where he has grown a rabid fan base. With a win on October 30, James moves nearer to a potential rematch of his first and only defeat against WBA Welterweight World Champion Yordenis Ugas.

Training is and has been at 100%,said James. “I’m excited to finally get back in the ring and defend my title. This will be the fight where I show everyone why I’m elite in this profession and should be recognized as one of the best.

The 27-year-old Butaev (13-0, 10 קוס) will finally square off against James in a long-awaited matchup ordered by the WBA. Butaev turned pro after approximately 400 amateur bouts in 2016 and reeled-off KOs in six of his first seven outings. Originally from Russia and now fighting out of Brooklyn, N.Y., Butaev returned to the ring in December 2020, stopping previously unbeaten Terry Chatwood in the third round.

“We’ve been working hard for a year leading up to this fight,” said Butaev. “Everything is going really well in camp and we’re excited to finally get in the ring against James. I’ve seen how James fights and it’s definitely going to be a clash of styles. I can just promise that I’m going to bring the war and make this an exciting fight. I’m going to start writing my history on October 30.”

Ennis (27-0, 25 קוס) is the latest in the pantheon of outstanding Philadelphia fighters, combining sublime boxing skills with natural power in both hands. After numerous appearances on ShoBox: הדור החדש, the 24-year-old Ennis graduated to headlining his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast in his last outing in April, as he became the first fighter to stop former world champion Sergey Lipinets. The knockout victory gave Ennis 17 KOs in his last 18 קרבות, with the only blemish being a no-decision in the first round against Chris van Heerden in December 2020.

“I’m glad to be back in the ring October 30 on SHOWTIME in Las Vegas,” said Ennis. “This is another step towards becoming world champion! They haven’t seen nothing yet. It’s time for me to continue to shine and be great. I can’t wait to show out and have some fun.”

The 31-year-old Dulorme (25-5-1, 16 קוס) has amassed a solid resume at 140 ו 147 pounds during his career, climbing into the ring with world champions Yordenis Ugas, Jessie Vargas and Terence Crawford. Born in Marigot, Guadeloupe but representing Carolina, פורטו ריקו, Dulorme rebounded from a loss to Crawford for a 140-pound title by scoring back-to-back knockouts, followed by a narrow decision loss to Ugas. The world title challenger is coming off solid efforts in back-to-back decision losses against Jamal James and Eimantas Stanionis.

“I think in the Stanionis fight I demonstrated that I am still at the top level,” said Dulorme. “A lot of people told me I won that fight and I thought I did too. I’m excited to face Ennis because he’s a good fighter, but he hasn’t fought anyone like me. The fans can expect another great performance from me on SHOWTIME.”

נולד בסנטו דומינגו, הרפובליקה הדומיניקנית ועכשיו נלחמת ממיאמי, פלורידה. ריברה (21-0, 14 קוס) פרץ למקום ב 2019, עושה את ארה"ב. הופעת בכורה עם ניצחון על חואן רנה טלז. בן 23 המשיך בעלייתו פנימה 2020, הוספת ניצחון עצירה מול פידל מלדונדו ג'וניור. והחלטה פה אחד ניצחה נגד המתמודד הקליל לדריוס מילר. Rivera has continued his dominance with a pair of knockout victories in 2021, stopping Anthony Mercado in February before most recently delivering a highlight-reel knockout of Jon Fernandez in July on SHOWTIME.

“Romero made a big mistake taking this fight,"אמרה ריברה. “What he’s seen from me in the gym, is not the same thing that he’s going to see on fight night. He is far from a fight night fighter. He folds under pressure or runs. הוא לוחם טוב, but he’s not at my level. I won’t let him go the distance like Isaac Cruz did. באוקטובר 30, I’m going to give him the beating of his lifetime.”

רומרו (24-1, 8 קוס) made his stateside debut in March, dropping a competitive decision to top lightweight contender Isaac Cruz on SHOWTIME. בעבר, the Cordoba, Argentina native picked up a pair of victories in 2020, winning a 12-round decision over Javier Jose Clavero in November, while stopping Gabriel Gustavo Ovejero in March. פרו מאז 2015, the 25-year-old will look to bounce back from his first defeat and move into title contention against another elite 135-pound opponent.

“Rivera and I have the same promoter and I personally requested for Sampson Lewkowicz to let me fight him when I saw he had no opponent,” said Romero. “I am willing to step in because I know I can beat him. We have trained at the same gym, but never sparred. His style is perfect for my style. This is going to be another victory for me to add to my collection.”

לוס אנג'לס (יולי 12, 2021) – Eight-division world champion and Philippine Senator Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao went face to face with unified WBC and IBF Welterweight World Champion Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. at press conference in Los Angeles Sunday as they previewed their blockbuster championship showdown that headlines a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View Saturday, נִשׂגָב 21 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The pay-per-view will begin at 9 p.m. ET p.m / 6. PT as Spence will look to earn a legacy-defining victory, while Pacquiao seeks one more monumental win to add to his first ballot Hall of Fame resume.


כרטיסים לאירוע בשידור חי, המקודם על ידי מבצעי TGB, MP Promotions and Man Down Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased through t-mobilearena.com ו axs.com.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Sunday:

MANNY PACQUIAO

“There were a lot of opportunities for me to pick an easier fight than this. But I picked Errol Spence Jr. because I want a real fight and a great fight for the fans. I’m a fighter and boxing is my passion.

“Errol Spence Jr. is aggressive, young and undefeated. He’s dedicated to his career. This is definitely not an easy opponent. This is the kind of opponent you can never underestimate.

“It’s been a long time since I fought a southpaw opponent. We had to change some of our strategy compared to previous fights and we’ll throw some different combinations.

“I don’t think Errol needs advice from Floyd Mayweather. I believe that Errol is a better fighter than Mayweather. Errol can teach Floyd how to fight toe-to-toe.

“I don’t want to be overconfident, because Errol is too good of an opponent. His determination and passion for the sport is always there. When I say I’m going to do something, it’s real and from the heart, it’s not to impress anybody.

“I had started training in the last week of May in the Philippines. So when I got here to Los Angeles, I was just continuing what I was doing. It’s good for me to have the rest that I’ve had the last two years. I’ve been boxing since I was 12 years old until now. When I went back to training, I was still hungry and dedicated.

“I won’t predict another first round knockdown like I had against Thurman. I’m focusing my mind, body and spirit on winning the fight. That’s the only goal.
“This is one of the biggest challenges in my career. I can’t say it’s the biggest, because I’ve been fighting the best fighters in the world for years. But he’s right up there with anyone I’ve faced.

“I’ve been boxing for more than 25 careers as a pro. I think that I’ve seen every kind of style that’s out there.

“This is a one of a kind and prodigious fight. There’s going to be a lot of action in the ring. I’m so thankful for everyone who supports me and I’m happy to be in this position again fighting one of the best fighters in the world.”

ארול ספנס JR.

“This is a great opportunity. Coming off of my accident I went right to fighting Danny Garcia and now Pacquiao. A lot of people were in the Pacquiao sweepstakes. When I got the call about this fight, I agreed right away and didn’t give it a second thought.

“There aren’t that many southpaws in boxing, so you don’t usually spar that many. We’ve got a lot of guys in camp now who can fight that left-handed style. Obviously I can’t find someone who fights exactly like Manny, but you can find guys who can mimic the tempo and pace. So that’s who we’ve been working with.

“You can see that Manny is still an explosive fighter with great speed. We’ve been putting together a game plan and we’ve been working on implementing it. Come August 21, you’ll see it in the ring.

“Manny can lull you to sleep giving you compliments. אבל ברגע שהפעמון מצלצל, he’s going to jump all over you.

“My chin since the accident has been tested in sparring and in the Danny Garcia fight. I imagine Manny is going to try to come in and test it as well.

“Just because he’s 42-years-old I don’t think it’s going to hurt him in training. He’s not blowing up in weight between fights and he’s not distracted. That’s why he’s been the same Manny Pacquiao for decades. I’m looking forward to the same Pacquiao who fought Keith Thurman and before that.

“Manny has a lot of tendencies, of course you’re going to see some things over the span of his whole career. When it’s time to buckle down, you know he’s the guy who’s going to fight. It can be a pro or a con, but he’s going to make it a fan-friendly fight.

“I don’t see myself ever getting knocked out. I just don’t see it. We’re going to be mindful that he has power. He knocked down Thurman and hurt him with a body shot. We’ll keep that in mind. But I’m not thinking about if he can knock me out.

“I have the ability to finish Pacquiao. בשבילי למרות ש, I’m focused on winning the fight. If you rush and go for the knockout, you either look sloppy or something goes wrong. I have to fight my fight and at my pace. אם נוקאאוט מגיע, I’ll go for it.

“This is going to be a great fight. Pacquiao is going to bring it like he always does, but I’m definitely going to come through with the victory.”

Tickets for the September 28ה אירוע, which is promoted by Man Down Promotions, TGB Promotions and Shawn Porter Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com.

Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from Barry’s Boxing Gym in Las Vegas:

שון PORTER

Shawn Porter is going to leave the ring with two belts. I’m going to hit him. I’m going to hit him hard and I’m going to do things you’ve never seen anyone do against Errol Spence.

I’m expecting there to be adversity for Errol. There’s going to be a moment where he realizes he’s losing this fight. He has to be solid psychologically. I don’t know if he’s going to be in the ring. I believe I have the advantage there and that I know how to get into his head.

I think Errol’s confidence is natural like mine. But I think that he’s fed his confidence to the point where some arrogance has come out. I think he’s going to show that in the fight early on. He’s going to have to adjust. Once he recognizes that, I expect the arrogance to go out the window and that he’ll have to figure it out.

I’ve never seen Errol go through any adversity in the ring. I don’t think anyone has been able to challenge him the way I can challenge him. אני באמת מצפה לזה.

There’s a combination that comes from Shawn Porter that you can’t get anywhere else. It’s the speed, כוח, agility and intelligence. You have to make a lot of adjustments on the fly and be ready. I’m hard to prepare for. Spence probably has one or two things that he’s expecting, but it’s not going to go that way.

I’ve been in Errol’s position before and I know what it’s like to think that all I had to do was show up and be me. I’ve gotten to a point where I realize now that I have to do more.

I don’t think there’s too much to figure out with Errol. The game plan is to make him make the adjustments. Things don’t always go to plan, but I still think I know what he wants to do in there. He’s not going to give you a lot to adjust to, but what he does do, he’s supreme and he’s great at.

Southpaws always bring the best out of me. I’m young again. You’re going to see the best Shawn Porter.

I think Errol has a lot more to lose in this fight. He’s never had to deal with a loss, and most people aren’t expecting him to lose. He’s in the perfect position being considered a top welterweight. But from my perspective, I just have absolutely no intention on losing.

אנתוני DIRRELL

This is going to be a good fight. David Benavidez is a warrior and I don’t take anything away from him. But I know that I have all the tools to beat him. He’s never fought someone like me. Everyone he knocked out, he was supposed to knock out.

I have everything I need in my arsenal. I’m versatile. I can switch it up if I need to. If I need to sit in the pocket, I can. If I need to box, I can. I just don’t think Benavidez is what everyone makes him out to be.

“אני הולך לנוק אאוט. I go for the knockout in every fight. If it doesn’t happen, I can still go 12 rounds and come out victorious.

This win would build my legacy. Some people expect me to lose, and I’m happy about that. This just takes my career to another level.

“אני לא מסתכל מעבר לקרב הזה. I’m focused on David Benavidez. After this fight I can talk about unification or whatever. Put first I have to take care of David.

A loss is a loss no matter which way you put it. Whether you lose by a mile or half a round. That’s in the past and we’re only focused on the future. There’s an undefeated 22-year-old fighter trying to take what I’ve got.

You put all the work in when you’re in the gym, then you have to leave everything in the ring. We trained too hard to not do that. אני מאוד בטוח. בסופו של היום, the fans are going to win.

I’ve seen Benavidez fight before. My coaches have watched him closely and will come up with the game plan. He’s quick, but we’ll be ready.

רוברט גררו

I feel great right now. Everything has been going smoothly and I can’t wait to just go to work out there. All the hard stuff is done, now it’s just maintaining and staying ready.

I’m excited for this opportunity. I’m well prepared and ready to go. It’s like any other fight. You leave no stone unturned, execute your game plan and do what you have to do to win.

The fans are going to get what they always get from me. I’m going to come to fight, take care of business and leave everyone with something to remember.

In a lot of my fights, I just walked guys down. I’ve had guys like Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia fighting just to hang in there, and I wasn’t even fighting to my full potential. I was just walking them down. But my skills are boxing, that’s how I fought at the lighter weights. I got away from what I was good at.

לאס וגאס (יולי 21, 2019) – Boxing’s only eight-division world champion, Senator MannyPacMan” Pacquiao ירד קית ' “פעם אחת” תורמן 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,” סעיד Pacquiao. “My opponent is a good fighter and boxer. הוא היה חזק. 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,” סעיד תורמן. “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,” סעיד תורמן. “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.

בסיבוב 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 ל 195, while Pacquiao was busier throwing 686 אגרופים ל 571 from Thurman.

I really love the fans,” סעיד 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 גולת כותרת כאן

Pacquiao had a large advantage in jabs landed, חיבור על 82 to Thurman’s 18. The 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.

לאחר 12 סיבובים, 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,” סעיד תורמן. “Tonight was a blessing and a lesson. Thank you everybody, and thank you Manny Pacquiao.

“אני חושב ש (I will fight) next year,” סעיד Pacquiao. “I will go back to the Philippines and work and then make a decision. I do hope to be at the (ארול) ספנס vs. (שון) Porter fight on September 28.

The co-main event of the pay-per-view saw top contender יודניס אוגאס (24-4, 11 קוס) drop previously unbeaten עומר פיגרואה (28-1-1, 19 קוס) 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,” סעיד אוגאס. “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. עם זאת, the inside fighting led to Ugas being deducted a point by the referee in round five for holding.

Ugas fought a smart fight,” סעיד פיגרואה. “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 ל 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,” סעיד אוגאס. “I was ready to go 12 rounds.

לאחר 12 סיבובים, 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. לעומת. Shawn Porter welterweight title unification.

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

Additional action saw former world champion Lipinets סרגיי (16-1, 12 קוס) score a highlight-reel knockout against Jayar Inson (18-3, 12 קוס) 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,” סעיד Lipinets. “As far as fighting a southpaw, I’ve had so many amateur fights in my kickboxing career that I had no problem adjusting. זה היה רק ​​עניין של זמן. 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 שניות לתוך הסיבוב.

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,” סעיד 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 קוס) deliver a ninth-round knockout of former bantamweight champion חואן קרלוס פייאנו (21-3, 9 קוס).

I wasn’t really paying attention to how long the fight was going, I was just getting into a rhythm as it went on,” said 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 ל 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,” said 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 לסיבוב.

I wanted to get him out early,” said 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 כלב “Sweethands” מפעל (19-0, 11 קוס) retain his title with a dominant third-round knockout over previously unbeaten מייק לי (21-1, 11 קוס).

It went exactly how I planned it would go,” סעיד הצמח. “בהחלט. 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,” סעיד הצמח. “So it was just about making adjustments. הוא גדול, 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,” אמר לי. “I had some success with my right hands but wasn’t able to be consistent with it.

בסיבוב שלושה, 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 לסיבוב.

I had no issue with the stoppage, that’s the referee’s job and I respect it,” אמר לי.

אחרי הקרב, 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.

“אה, כן, we can definitely unify,” סעיד הצמח. “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 Efe Ajagba (11-0, 9 קוס) להבקיע החלטה פה אחד על Ali Eren Demirezen (11-1, 10 קוס) 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, נחיתה 10 של 45 jabs per round, doubling the heavyweight average. עם זאת, 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,” said 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, נחיתה 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. שוב.”

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

לאחר 10 rounds of action all three judges scored the fight in favor of Ajagba, על ידי עשרות רבות של 99-91 פעמיים ו 97-93.

He said he is going back to his original style. If he brings that style to me, it’s going to be a great fight because I’m going to bring it right back to him.

The 31-year-old Porter (30-2-1, 17 קוס) is a two-time welterweight champion whose high-pressure style has served him well in his rise in the 147-pound division. Born in Akron, Ohio and now living in Las Vegas, Porter won the IBF welterweight title with a unanimous decision victory over Devon Alexander in 2013. He lost the title, which Spence now has, to Kell Brook by a majority decision in 2014. Porter moved back into the championship ranks with a unanimous decision victory over Danny Garcia for the vacant WBC title in 2018. He successfully defended the title with a split decision victory over Yordenis Ugas in March on FOX.

There haven’t been too many fights as a professional that I’ve been this excited about,” אמר פורטר. “I was really excited about the Danny Garcia fight and I’m really excited about this one. Ever since Spence got a belt, I really circled this fight on my calendar. Preparation is the key. I think I have everything it takes to beat Errol Spence. I’m very confident and my team is confident in what I have to do on September 28. We’ll be ready.

Dirrell לעומת. Benavidez promises to be a hotly contested battle for the WBC Super Middleweight title. Dirrell is a two-time WBC 168-pound world champion and will bring experience, while Benavidez will bring his high-octane style.

The 34-year-old Dirrell (33-1-1, 24 קוס) won the WBC title for the first time with a unanimous decision over Sakio Bika in 2014. The native of Flint, Michigan lost the title the next year to Badou Jack by majority decision. He put together six straight victories after that loss to get back into position to fight for the championship again. He won the title with a technical decision victory over Avni Yildirim in February on FS1. Dirrell is the younger brother of Andre Dirrell, who won a bronze medal as a member of the U.S. Olympic boxing team in 2004.

I’m going to work my butt off, putting in extra hours in the gym, because this is one of the toughest opponents I’ve ever fought,” Dirrell said. “He’s young and he’s tough. But I’m more than ready for anything that he can bring. I bring an exciting fight. He knows that. The world knows that. הוא יכול לדבר, but nothing matters but what happens in the ring. I wanted this fight to be out west because I will fight anybody anywhere. It’s only two people in the ring and we’re going to give a good entertaining fight for the fans.

בנבידז (21-0, 18 קוס) won the WBC title with a split decision victory over Ronald Gavril in 2017. לחימה מתוך הפניקס, אריזונה, Benavidez successfully defended the title with a more convincing unanimous decision over Gavril in the rematch four months later. The 22-year-old returned to the ring to score an impressive knockout victory over veteran J’Leon Love in March on the Spence vs. Garcia PBC on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View.

I’m looking forward to reclaiming my WBC belt in my next fight against Anthony Dirrell,” סעיד בנבידז. “This fight is overdue and I guarantee I will be ready for whatever he brings to the ring. The fans are really going to enjoy this one.

That was a tremendous fight for me as the headliner in my first main event,” סעיד תורמן. “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.

א.ד. 12 Leonard Bundu, דצמבר 13, 2014, the MGM Grand Garden Arena, לאס וגאס: 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 שלוש פעמים) 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,” סעיד תורמן. “I out boxed him and really gave the world a taste of how good of a boxer I am. It was an easy blowout.

That fight really raised my stock to another level.

RTD 7 לואיס קולאזו, יולי 11, 2015, USF Sundome, טמפה: 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, שיין מוזלי, 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,” סעיד תורמן. “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, פלורידה.”

Our fight was tough, back and forth, but by no means was Shawn Porter going to take my title,” סעיד תורמן. “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.

SD 12 דני גרסיה, מרץ 4, 2017, ברקליס מרכז: Thurman won a clash of 28-year-olds over the then unbeaten Garcia (33-0, 19 קוס), 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,” סעיד תורמן. “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.

I was really nervous about making weight after walking around at 182 for the past two years,” סעיד תורמן. “But even though I got hit and hurt in the seventh round, I knew my boxing ability would get me through. It was a relief to make it through that fight feeling strong and healthy and I’ve taken those feelings right into this training camp.

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?” סעיד תורמן, rhetorically speaking. “כמובן, 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.
