ONTARIO, SOOS. (September 26, 2018) – Unbeaten featherweight contender Brandon Figueroa takes on rugged veteran Oscar Escandon in die 10-ronde belangrikste gebeurtenis van Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes hierdie Sondag, September 30 from Citizen’s Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Kalifornië.

 

 

 

John Molina, Jr., who was scheduled to be in the main event, will be rescheduled to return to the ring soon. And former welterweight champion Victor Ortiz, who was slated to face Molina, will no longer be on the card.

 

 

 

Televisie dekking begin by 9 namiddag. ET / 6 pm. PT and will feature 2016 Olimpiese silwermedaljewenner Joe Joyce die gesig staar Iago Kiladze in 'n 10-round swaargewig aantrekking.

 

 

 

The exciting night of fights will also see rising unbeaten prospects enter the ring as 2016 Nigeriese Olimpiese Rene Tellez Giron (6-0, 5 Uitklophoue) steps in for a six-round heavyweight bout, sensational super welterweight prospect Joey Spencer (4-0, 4 Uitklophoue) competes in a four-round match and featherweight prospect Stephen Fulton(13-0, 6 Uitklophoue) looks to remain unbeaten in an eight-round match.

 

 

 

Kaartjies vir die geleentheid, wat deur TGB Promotions en Ringstar Sports bevorder word, are on sale now and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com.

 

Figueroa (16-0, 11 Uitklophoue), the brother of former lightweight world champion Omar Figueroa, Jr., continues to climb the ladder in the featherweight division with a step up match against the tough former title challenger Escandon. The 21-year-old out of Weslaco, Texas was busy last year as he won all four of his matches and he has logged two knockout victories this year, beating Giovanni Delgado in March and Luis Roy Suarez Cruz in his last fight on August 4, with three of those six wins coming on FS1 and FOX Deportes.

 

 

 

The 34-year-old Escandon (25-4, 17 Uitklophoue), who fought in the 2004 Olympian for Colombia, is a hardnosed veteran from Ibague, Colombia looking to rebound from two tough losses to Tugstsogt Nyambayar on May 26 on FS1 and WBC featherweight champion Gary Russell, Jr. in 2017.

 

 

 

A 6-foot-6 heavyweight, Joyce (5-0, 5 Uitklophoue) won the silver medal in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games as a super heavyweight from Great Britain and now trains in Big Bear, California with Abel Sanchez. The 32-year-old from London turned pro in 2017 and has been on a knockout roll since. Joyce, whose nickname is ‘Juggernaut,’ has ended four of his five fights inside of two rounds. He scored a first-round KO victory over Ivica Bacurin in his last fight on June 15.

 

Kiladze (26-3, 18 Uitklophoue) is an experienced veteran who will test Joyce early in his young career. The 32-year-old out of Ukraine who now lives in Los Angeles and will be looking to rebound from back-to-back losses to Michael Hunter and Adam Kownacki. Before those losses he had put together a six-match win streak.

Cuban vs. Cuban: Livan Navarro and Armando Alvarez Ready for War at Heavyweight Factory’s “Rumble at the Rock 2” on Friday, Sewe. 28 at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino – Hollywood

 

Cuba’s undefeated Livan “Machine Gun Kid” Navarro (8-0, 5 Uitklophoue) loves a good test.

 

 

 

Never one to shy away from a challenge, the Miami (via Havana) welterweight will be in tough once again this Friday night, when he takes on fellow Cuban Armando “The Gentleman” Alvarez (18-1, 12 Uitklophoue) of Key West.

 

 

 

The rare Cuban vs. Cuban showdown, also Navarro’s first fight scheduled for 10 rondes, highlights a stacked undercard on Friday, Sewe. 28, by die “Rumble at the Rock 2,”professional boxing event at the Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla.

 

 

 

Aangebied deur Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory, in the night’s 10-round main event, Honolulu, Hawaii’s undefeated Logan “The Korican Kid” Yoon (12-0, 10 Uitklophoue) will defend his WBO-NABO Youth Junior Welterweight Championship against John “El Emperador” Rentería (16-4-1, 12 Uitklophoue) of Panama. In the 10-round co-main event, Miami via Ekibastuz, Kazakhstan’s Mussa “Warrior” Tursyngaliyev (7-0, 6 Uitklophoue) will face Monteira, Colombia’s Deivi “El Cabo” Bassa (20-5, 12 Uitklophoue) oor 10 rounds for the WBA International Featherweight Championship.

 

Tickets for “Rumble at the Rock 2” cost $60, $100, $150, $250 en $500 VIP and are available through ticketmaster.com.

 

 

 

So, is Navarro ready for a former WBC Latino Welterweight Champion in just his ninth fight?

 

 

 

"Hy is 'n goeie vegter, but I feel my style will overpower whatever his so-called experience advantage is,” said a confident Navarro. “I was 312-17 as an amateur and I’m already 8-0 as 'n pro. I’ve been brought in as an opponent, supposedly to lose, on a Golden Boy card and a PBC show in Miami, and I knocked both those guys out. I fight my best when people don’t think I can win.”

 

 

 

To prepare, Navarro has reunited with trainer Herman Caicedo and gone back to what works best for the Cuban power puncher.

 

 

 

“I’m coming to scrap. This won’t be chess match. We’re going to scrap. That’s my style. Ek kom om te veg. I wait on the KO and when I see my opening I take it.”

 

 

 

Navarro says he doesn’t mind being part of an unusual “Cuban vs. Cuban” showdown.

 

 

 

“I’ll fight anyone. I’ve fought Cubans all my life back home, so no, it doesn’t bother me. This is a business. You see Mexican vs Mexican and Puerto Rican against Puerto Rican, so why can’t it be Cuba vs Cuba? Good fighters should fight one another, and the cream will rise to the top. It’s all business when I step in the ring. I wish Armando all the luck in the world. He will need every ounce.”

 

 

 

Alvarez says he knows he looked vulnerable in his last fight, a nationally televised loss to undefeated Jaron Ennis in July, and that’s why Navarro is willing to fight him.

 

 

 

But Alvarez says Team Navarro has made a big mistake.

 

 

 

"Ek is 100 percent injury free and mentally ready,” said Alvarez. “That’s what his team didn’t take into account. I fought Ennis with an injury that badly affected my performance. They’re expecting that Armando Alvarez to show up that night, but I’m ready to prove ‘The Gentleman’ is here and alive. He’s a good boxer and he comes to fight, but amateur and pro are two different things and he’s not ready.”

 

 

 

Alvarez says he also doesn’t believe in the unwritten code some fighters carry that says Cubans can’t fight each other.

 

 

 

“It’s rare for two Cubans to face each other, but I think the best should fight the best. I don’t believe in not fighting another Cuban. He’s Cuban from Cuba from Cuba. I’m Cuban too, but I was born and raised here and I think anybody can fight anybody else.”

 

 

 

Alvarez says he’s looking forward to getting back in the win column in front of a large group of his fans.

 

 

 

“I’ll have the majority of the supporters at the fight. I’ll have lots of family and friends. It always helps me when my fans are there live. It pushes me to go that much harder.”

 

A treasure for Florida’s fans of live boxing, Heavyweight Factory’s fights at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino have become the nation’s strongest off-TV boxing series. Op stryd nag, Deure open om 6 namiddag. en die aksie begin by 7 namiddag. Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is geleë op 1 Seminole Way in Hollywood, Fla. More exciting bouts will be announced shortly.

Kennerdale: It’s Going to be a War on Saturday Night!

 

KENNERDALE Vs PEERS

PBC Silver English Welterweight Championship

29th September 2018 – Pride Park, Derby

 

 

Over the past year or so there’s been a lot of speculation, or should that be desire, about the possibility of an all Merseyside showdown between local heroes Craig Kennerdale and Paul Peers.

 

Until very recently it had been just pure wishful thinking, it had been proposed on numerous occasions and failed to be made, however come Saturday night this much anticipated showdown finally becomes a reality, as promoter Dan Gray decided enough of the talking, if the fans want the fight, they should have their wishes come true and added it to the card for his upcoming event at the home of Derby County FC, Pride Park in Derby.

 

When Dan Gray first proposed the fight to Paul Peers, Peers had told himGood luck mate, others had tried to make the match-up in the past and failed.Not to be deterred Gray not only convinced Kennerdale’s manager Kyle Gallagher that the time was right, but also the unbeaten prospect himself.

 

Speaking from his Liverpool home Craig Kennerdale explained why he decided to take the fight now.

 

I always knew that Paul and I would face each other one day, but always expected it to be much later on in our careers, but when Dan (Gray) dangled the carrot of making it for a title, my first title shot, I just couldn’t refuse.

 

I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for so long, I’ve been around the sport since I was ten years of age and in that time every single training session, every spar and every fight I’ve ever had has been leading to this fight, I can’t wait for Saturday night, it’s my dream to win a title.

I can’t help but think that this fight has all the hallmarks of being a seriously good all action fight the fans will love to watch.

 

I believe styles make fights, the difference in our styles, as well as the way we approach fights make this a very interesting match-up. It’s going to be a war on Saturday night.

 

Like most boxers on the Liverpool circuit, I know Paul’s ability and believe me I’m not taking anything lightly, he’s a good technical boxer with a strong amateur pedigree.

 

I’m unbeaten in the pros and believe me I don’t intend on losing my ‘0’ anytime soon.

 

Although I have respect for Paul, I’m here to win. Ek is in die beste vorm van my lewe, I’m hitting harder and faster than ever before and because of that I have every confidence that it will be me that lifts the belt come fight night.

 

Respect to Paul Peers and may the best man win!”

Peers Prepares to Face Kennerdale In All Merseyside English Title Clash

There’s nothing quite like a local Derby, whether Football or any sport but especially Boxing, to get the fans salivating and when it’s an all Merseyside clash it is without doubt the most mouth-watering of them all.

 

 

 

 

On Saturday 29th September, on neutral ground at Pride Park in Derby, the home of Derby County Football Club, life-long Everton fan Paul Peers will step into the ring against fellow Merseysider and staunch Reds fan Craig Kennerdale.

 

 

 

 

Adding extra spice to the contest, if being a Merseyside Derby wasn’t enough; there will be a Title Belt at stake, the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Silver English Welterweight Championship.

 

 

 

 

Speaking from his new home in the Orkneys, Peers made it clear he wasn’t just coming to make up the numbers.

 

 

 

 

I’m really looking forward to this fight, it’s one that could and should have happened last year.

 

 

 

 

We’re both from Liverpool, there’s no two ways about it the depth of talent in the city is growing all the time. Liverpool has produced so many Champions over the years, everything from English to World Champions, hopefully after the 29th my name will be added to the long, long list.

 

 

 

 

I have every intention of boxing at my very best as I try to win this English title, as will Craig.

 

 

 

 

I’ve seen that Craig is right up for this, he looks even faster now than when I see his training videos. That shows he’s fit and he’s ready, which makes for a good fight, as so am I.

 

 

 

 

It will be storming fight, expect fireworks on the night, there’s so much a stake, not just bragging rights, I want that belt around my waist.

Here is what the participants at the media event had to say Thursday from Fortune Gym in Los Angeles:

 

VICTOR ORTIZ

 

 

 

“John Molina Jr. is a warrior, and it’s going to be two warriors on fight night. This is another chance for me to do what I love to do and what I have the most passion in the world for.

 

 

 

You have to keep that fire burning inside you to keep competing in this sport. You have to go in there 100 myl per uur. This is a sport and I’m going in there to destroy him, then we can go have lunch after.

 

 

 

I have lots of respect for Molina, but this is still boxing. He’s in my way right now and I’m going to knock him out of the way.

 

 

 

I have one big task ahead of me and that’s John Molina Jr. op September 30. I can’t focus on anyone else out there, as much as I may want to fight them. I have a tremendous challenge in front of me.

 

 

 

I don’t feel that I have the size advantage. Molina is a big guy. I’m not too small or anything, but at the end of the day we’re going to have a good dance in that ring and there’s going to be no excuses.

 

 

 

I’m working hard each day in camp to be ready for September 30. Whatever the coaches have been asking of me, I’ve been there and delivered.

 

JOHN MOLINA JR.

 

 

 

I know that Victor is going to be himself in there. We’re both veterans who have been been down this road before. He’s coming to win and that’s what excites me. I think everyone watching is going to get a treat on September 30.

 

 

 

Victor is probably the physically bigger guy because he’s been at welterweight longer, but I think I carry the weight well. I’ve always been big for my weight classes so I think it will fit perfectly.

 

 

 

Training is what I do. I’ve been down this road before so it’s really just built into my system to get in the gym and work hard. Everything has been going great. We’re on track with some hard work ahead to be ready for fight night.

 

 

 

Victor deserves my undivided attention and he has it. Especially for this fight. He is a big strong guy who hits hard for 147-pounds. I never pick the easy guy when I move up in weight. My first fight at 140 was Lucas Matthysse and I expect fireworks for this fight as well.

 

 

 

My ability to bounce back and deal with adversity in the ring is all about mindset. When I’m in that ring, I’m just 100 percent focused on doing what I have to do for my family. I’ve been blessed by boxing. I put it all on the line.

 

 

 

I know I have to go through the fire every time I get into the ring. If I didn’t think that I’d be fooling myself. You can say what you want about Victor, but he’s always been in exciting fights and I’m going to have to deal with that style on September 30.

 

Dit is 'n goeie toets vir my en 'n goeie teenstander wat my sal laat gebruik waaraan ons gewerk het in opleiding.

 

 

 

I envision myself going out there and breaking down my opponent little by little. I think we’ve kept the same kind of training going, but me and my brother are much more comfortable as pros now, so it’s gotten even more productive.

 

 

 

I’m excited to keep working and getting my rounds in, while also having fun with this job I’m blessed to have. I’m not planning to let this fight go the distance and I’m going to take the opportunity to end it when I see it.

 

 

 

Me and my brother both believe that the fight is really won in the gym. By the time you get up into the ring, it’s just sparring really. That helps me stay relaxed and focused on the work I’m there to do and not worried about anything going on around me.

 

JOSE BALDERAS

 

 

 

I feel great going into this fight. I’ve learned a lot from each time I’ve gotten into the ring and I’m going to take that into this next fight to put on my best performance.

 

 

 

My goal is always to go out there and be great. I’m ready to break my opponent down and do what I have to do.

 

 

 

It’s exciting to be on the same card as my brother again. We definitely are still invested in each other’s fights. Hopefully we can each take care of business and be able to be there cheering each other on.

 

RICHARD SCHAEFER, Voorsitter & Uitvoerende hoof van Ringstar Sport

 

 

 

It’s refreshing to see the level of respect from Ortiz and Molina. This is an extremely evenly matched fight with no clear favorite. These are fighters who can create a memorable night. It’s the perfect example of how styles make fights.

 

 

 

Both of these men know how to entertain and are must-see television every time they step into the ring. Now they’re fighting each other and it’s got war written all over it. The fans watching on Sunday night and here in Ontario are in for a treat.

 

 

 

I’m excited to see the continued development of Karlos Balderas on September 30. He is quickly making an impression throughout the sport and I believe he’s going to prove that he can live up to the promise in the not too distant future. Sunday will be another step toward what he can really accomplish.

BROOKLYN (September 9, 2018) – Shawn Porter het Saterdagaand WBC se weltergewigkampioen geword toe hy 'n noue eenparige beslissende oorwinning behaal het Danny Garcia in 'n heftige geveg regstreeks op SHOWTIME vanaf Barclays Centre, die huis van BROOKLYN boks ™, in 'n byeenkoms aangebied deur Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

Al drie beoordelaars het die stryd in die guns van Porter behaal (116-112, 115-113, 115-113) in 'n elektrifiserende geveg voor 13,058 aanhangers by die 30ste professionele boksgeleentheid by Barclays Centre. (Video-hoogtepunte hier: https://s.sho.com/2MWXfRj)

 

 

 

 

Porter verdien die gordel wat Keith Thurman, wat Porter en Garcia voorheen verslaan het, moes weens 'n besering gedwing word om te ontruim.

 

 

 

In 'n verwagte titelgeveg wat allerweë as 'n 50-50 wedstryd in boks se diepste afdeling, Garcia vs. Porter het soos geadverteer gespeel. Die verskil in totale kraghoue wat gedurende die 12-ronde-stryd beland het, was net vyf, met Garcia wat die noue voordeel behou.

 

 

 

In 'n wedstryd van akkuraatheid vs.. aktiwiteit, Porter kyk na die outworked Garcia. Hy was meedoënloos in sy aanval en gooi 742 totale slae en 544 krag stoot, landing 25 persent. Garcia, Aan die ander kant, was die meer presiese vegter, die hoër persentasie en meer betekenisvolle slae te land. Hy skakel aan 46 persent van die 304 kraghoue wat hy gegooi het. As gevolg van die kontrasterende style, die drie beoordelaars kon slegs oor vier rondes saamstem.

 

 

 

“Ek het 'n voorspelling gemaak en dit was moeilik om na te kom,” Said Porter. “Ek het gesê dat ek nie New York sonder hierdie gordel verlaat nie en ek nie New York sonder hierdie gordel verlaat nie. Ek het geweet hy gaan akkuraat wees. Die spelplan vir my was om van buite akkuraat te wees en te wys dat ek hom kon klop sonder om hom aan die toue te ruk.”

 

 

 

'N Teleurgestelde Garcia stem duidelik nie saam met die beoordelaars nie’ telkaarte.

 

 

 

“Hy gooi baie,” Said Garcia, wie val tot 7-2 in die wêreld titel gevegte. “Ek het my verdediging styf gehad, so ek het nie sy slae gevoel nie. Ek het gedink ek het die duideliker skote geland en hierdie stryd gewen.

“Ek moet agteroor sit, ontspan en kyk wat volgende vir my is.”

 

 

 

Na die aankondiging van die besluit, IBF-kampioen in die weltergewig en konsensus-top-vyf-pond-vegter Errol Spence Jr. het die ring betree om die pas bekroonde WBC-kampioen uit te daag vir 'n kitswedstryd.

 

 

 

“Op dieselfde manier as wat jy Danny geroep het, Ek gaan jou uitroep”, sê Spence. “Ek dink ek is die beste weltergewig in die afdeling. Ek is 'Die waarheid’ en ek waarborg u dat ek as verenigde kampioen by die huis kom. Ek wil beslis die stryd teen Porter hê.”

 

 

 

Dit was 'n sterbelaaide aand in Barclays, aangesien huidige en voormalige wêreldkampioene die gevegte bygewoon het, insluitend Spence, Mikey Garcia, Jarrett Hurd, Gervonta Davis, Adrien Broner, Andre Berto, Claressa Shields, Keith Thurman en Jermell en Jermall Charlo.

 

 

 

In die saamgespeelde geleentheid van SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, konsensus top-10 weltergewig Yordenis Ugas (23-3, 11 Uitklophoue) uit geboks Argentinië s’n Cesar Miguel Barrionuevo (34-4-2, 24 Uitklophoue) op pad na 'n oorheersende eenparige beslissingsege (119-109, 120-108, 120-108). Met die oorwinning in die WBC-titel uitskakel, Ugas verdien die WBC se tweede verpligte posisie om Porter te beveg.

 

 

 

In 'n taktiese vertoning, Ugas het die tempo vanaf die openingsklok gedikteer en lyk gemaklik regdeur die 12 rondes. Hy was van meet af die meer effektiewe vegter, landing 55 persent van sy krag stoot en 35 persent van sy totale stoot. Barrionuevo, wat 'n groot toename in kompetisie in die gesig gestaar het, kon die voormalige Olimpiese bronsmedaljewenner uit Kuba nooit lastig val nie, ten spyte van die gooi van meer slae.

 

 

 

Barrionuevo net aangeskakel 26 persent van sy krag stoot en 19 persent van sy totale stoot. Ugas was die baie akkurater ponser wat verbind het 55 persent van sy krag stoot en 35 persent van sy totale stoot, including a wild multi-punch assault on Barrionuevo in the eighth round.

 

 

 

We won today and I think I showed everybody my talent,” het Ugas gesê, who improves to 8-0 by 147 pond. “I’m happy with my performance. I showed enough, now I’m ready for a championship fight.

 

 

 

I want the winner of Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter. I’m here to compete with the top-level guys in the sport.

 

 

 

I just didn’t have the right distance tonight,” said Barrionuevo, who was making his U.S. debuut. “It was hard to catch him and attack. He countered well and attacked the body. I showed my heart but he was the better fighter tonight.

 

 

 

In die uitsending opener, heavyweight slugger Adam Kownacki (18-0, 14 Uitklophoue) remained undefeated by scoring a unanimous decision victory over former world champion Charles Martin (25-2-1, 23 Uitklophoue) in a sensational action-packed fight. Each of the judges scored the fight 96-94 in favor of the hometown favorite Kownacki, wat geveg het voor 'n lawaaierige kontingent Poolse aanhangers.

 

 

 

Albei vegters was ongelooflik aktief, met byna 1400 totale slae gegooi deur die hele 10 rondes. Kownacki en Martin, die voormalige IBF-swaargewigkampioen, elkeen gegooi 500 krag slae en beland 37 persent van hulle.

 

 

 

Kownacki, wat vir die sewende keer in sy pro-loopbaan in Barclays Centre geveg het, het die geveg op die voorvoet begin, 'n rugsteun van sy teenstander en die uitputting daarvan op pad na die vroeë rondes. Martin het begin om terug te keer in die stryd en behaal 'n tweede oorwinning in die sewende ronde, verskeie kragtige linkshandige houe op die kop van Kownacki geland.

 

 

 

In 'n mededinger vir die 2018 Ronde van die Jaar, die 10ste en laaste ronde het geweldige heen-en-weer-aksie gesien met albei vegters wat verwoestende ruilhandel verhandel het terwyl hulle hul bes gedoen het om op hul voete te bly. Die twee vegters het gekombineer om te land 62 slae in die rondte, 57 waarvan kragstampe was.

 

 

 

“Ek dink ek het vanaand bewys dat ek 'n top is 10 fighter,” Kownacki aan SHOWTIME Sports gesê® verslaggewer Jim Gray. “Ek dink ek het nog een of twee gevegte nodig voordat ek na 'n titelgeveg gaan. Ek het 'n groot span agter my. Wat hulle ook al besluit, dis die roete wat ons gaan neem.

 

 

 

“Ek het gedink ek het die besluit 'n bietjie wyer as die kaarte gewen, maar Charles het die hele nag kom veg. Hy was in vorm en het vorentoe gekom en ek moes diep delf.”

 

 

 

Martin, wat deur 'n stadige begin gestraf is, was genadiglik in die nederlaag en het krediet aan Kownacki gegee.

 

 

 

“Ek is 'n laat voorgereg, maar hy was vanaand die beter man,” het hy gesê. “Die voorkoms is baie bedrieglik, maar dit is boks. Ek het 'n helse geveg gevoer en die 10 rondes. Ek het net kort gekom.”

 

 

 

In streaming dekking van live onderkaartgevegte op SHOWTIME-KAMPIOENSKAP BOXING COUNTDOWN, Amanda Serrano (35-1-1, 26 Uitklophoue) die eerste ses-afdeling wêreldkampioen in die geskiedenis van vroueboks geword, by Manny Pacquiao en Oscar De La Hoya aangesluit as die enigste boksers, manlik of vroulik, om die punt te bereik. Die Brooklyn-boorling het 'n aggressiewe en vasberade verslaan Yamila Esther Reynoso (11-5-3, 8 Uitklophoue) om die vakante WBO Junior Weltergewig Wêreldkampioenskap per eenparige besluit te verdien (al drie beoordelaars het die stryd aangeteken 99-91).

 

 

 

“Dit beteken alles vir my,” Said Serrano. “Ek werk so hard en ek hoop dat hierdie geveg aan die ondersteuners wys dat meisies kan veg en dat ons alles kan gee net soos die mans. Ons verdien dit om hierdie platform te hê en ons verdien om vertoon te word.”

 

 

 

Ook op die live stream, Brooklyn-aanhanger-gunsteling Chris Colbert (9-0, 3 Uitklophoue) na 'n eenparige besluit gewen Fatiou Fassinou (28-11-3, 15 Uitklophoue) en Mayweather Promotions’ onoorwonne vooruitsig Richardson Hitchins (6-0, 3 Uitklophoue) Mexiko’s oorheers het Cesar Valenzuela (7-3, 2 Uitklophoue) op pad na 'n eenparige beslissende oorwinning.
