“These three matchups deliver everything boxing fans could hope for in a pay-per-view undercard and are worthy of the historic main event clash they will lead up to,»Сказаў Том Браўн, Прэзідэнт TGB Акцыі. “Each fighter stepping into the ring has an opportunity to catapult themselves to the top of their respective division with a win on September 30. Fans can expect to see all of these competitors give everything they have to emerge victorious on SHOWTIME PPV at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.”

A strong southpaw who at 22 has yet to come close to hitting his ceiling as a fighter, Рамас (20-0, 16 КО) blitzed then-unbeaten Joey Spencer in March, dropping him in round one before stopping him in round seven to earn the TKO in his sensational 2023 debut on the undercard of David Benavidez vs. Caleb Plant on SHOWTIME PPV. A native of Casa Grande, Штат Арызона., Ramos also owns back-to-back 10-round unanimous decisions over Brian Mendoza and Javier Molina in 2021, which he followed up by defeating Luke Santamaria and Vladimir Hernandez in 2022. Агульны, the youthful Ramos has gained recognition with highlight-reel KOs, stopping seven of his last 10 праціўнікі, showcasing his skills and ability to end his fights early.

I’m excited to be part of this huge card against a tough opponent on September 30,” said Ramos. “I know Lubin is training hard and coming to win, which will make for an entertaining fight. This whole card is stacked and we don’t want to disappoint, so the fans are in for a great night of boxing.

The 27-year-old Lubin (25-2, 18 КО) returned to the ring in June to deliver an impressive fifth-round stoppage of veteran Luis Arias, who had never been stopped previously. Lubin’s previous outing saw him go toe-to-toe in one of 2022’s best fights, as he traded knockdowns with fellow contender Sebastian Fundora on SHOWTIME in April 2022. Heading into the Fundora fight, Lubin had put together an impressive six-bout winning streak since a loss to then unified and now undisputed 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo in 2017, a run that included triumphs over Jeison Rosario, Terrell Gausha and Ishe Smith. A native of Orlando, Штат Фларыда., Lubin turned pro at 18 years old in 2013 and became one of the youngest prospects to ever appear on the developmental seriesShoBox: Новае пакаленне®,earning “Prospect Of The Year” honors from ESPN and Ring Magazine in 2016.

“I know the world will be watching on September 30 and I plan on winning in a big way,” said Lubin. “We’ve got a young and talented fighter in front of us, but I’m young and talented as well. The difference is that I’ve fought the cream of the crop of the 154-pound division. Doesn’t matter if it’s Olympians, top prospects, contenders or champions, I’ve taken them on. I have a big chip on my shoulder and I know that with this win, I’ll be in a mega fight. I’m training extremely hard and the whole world will see it pay off.”

загас (27-5, 12 КО) will step back into action on September 30 for the first time since an April 2022 unification bout defeat to Errol Spence Jr. on SHOWTIME PPV. He established himself as an elite welterweight after returning from a more than two-year layoff in 2016 following back-to-back losses in 2014. He punched his ticket as a world champion in January 2021 after winning a WBA belt by defeating Abel Ramos in September 2020. He solidified his world-championship status in August 2021, when he stepped in for an injured Spence to defeat legendary future Hall of Famer Manny Pacquiao by unanimous decision. Hailing from Santiago, Cuba and now living in Miami, Фларыда, the Olympic bronze medalist trains in Las Vegas with renowned coach Ismael Salas and owns victories over then undefeated fighters Jamal James, Omar Figueroa Jr. and Bryant Perrella, plus veteran contenders Thomas Dulorme and Ray Robinson.

“Both me and Mario Barrios have a lot to gain with a victory on September 30, so I know that this fight is going to be one to remember,- сказаў Угас. “I have tremendous respect for Barrios. He’s a true warrior who’s been in the ring with the best of them, but I have confidence that I’ll be victorious. I have a lot of fight left in me and my best skills will be on display in this fight. Patria y Vida, I fight for my people.”

The 28-year-old Barrios (27-2, 18 КО) most recently scored a sensational knockout of Jovanie Santiago in February stopping Santiago in the eighth-round. Barrios’ previous fight was his welterweight debut as he dropped a hard-fought decision to former unified champion Keith Thurman in February 2022. The San Antonio-product, who now trains with top coach Bob Santos in Las Vegas, became a 140-pound world champion in September 2019, using his aggressive style to edge out Batyr Akhmedov and earn a unanimous decision. Barrios lost the super lightweight title in another action packed, highly competitive bout, as he was defeated by three-division and five-time world champion Gervonta Davis in June 2021.

“This fight is going to be a war, because we both fight with a lot of heart and neither of us ever backs down,” said Barrios. “I can’t wait to compete in a matchup like this on one of the biggest cards of the year. This is going to be a great night of boxing from start to finish and the Mexican fans can expect to see an explosive performance from ‘El Azteca’!"

Барацьба з Фенікса, Арызона, Гарсія (15-0, 12 КО) is one of 2023’s biggest breakout stars He burst onto the scene in March by blasting out the previously unbeaten Amilcar Vidal in the fourth-round to announce his presence at 160-pounds. The 20-year-old followed up that performance by dominating veteran Kevin Salgado on his way to a unanimous decision in April on the SHOWTIME PPV undercard of Gervonta Davis vs. Раян Гарсія. The precocious Garcia has moved fast since turning pro in 2020 and has knocked out six of his last eight opponents.

“This is my second fight this year on a huge pay-per-view card and I’m super excited and even more prepared than the first time,” said Garcia. “Reséndiz is a hungry fighter just like myself, so I have no doubt that we are going to put on a hell of a show for all the fans watching.”

The 24-year-old Reséndiz(14-1, 10 КО) earned a career-best victory in his last outing as he stopped former unified champion Jarrett Hurd in the 10й and final round of their March showdown on SHOWTIME. Reséndiz led on all three cards when the bout was stopped due to a severe laceration on Hurd’s lip. A native of Nayarit, Мексіка, he now fights out of Los Angeles and will look to make it three-straight wins since a close decision loss to Marcos Hernandez in September 2021. Reséndiz turned pro in February 2018 and made a successful U.S. debut in April 2021 with a decision victory over Quilisto Madera.

“I’m very happy to have this great opportunity to compete on such an important fight card,” said Reséndiz. “I’m excited to realize my dream of fighting in Las Vegas, just like my boxing idols that I watched on TV. I’ve had an amazing training camp that will help me look my best on September 30 and put on a performance worthy of the boxing legends who inspire me.”

“One of the year’s biggest events will feature a deserving pay-per-view undercard lineup loaded with consequential matchups that are primed to deliver drama and action,»Сказаў Том Браўн, Прэзідэнт TGB Акцыі. “Isaac Cruz showed against Gervonta Davis that he is a star in the making, and he’ll be looking to display those talents once again against an accomplished opponent in Yuriorkis Gamboa. Больш, another rising star in Jose Valenzuela will step up in competition against former champion Francisco Vargas, while Cody Crowley and Josesito Lopez will both bring their high-octane styles into the ring in what shapes up to be a ‘can’t-miss’ showdown to open the loaded SHOWTIME PPV.”

The 23-year-old Cruz (22-2-1, 15 КО) will return to the ring after dropping a competitive decision against three-division champion Gervonta Davis on SHOWTIME PPV in December. A native of Mexico City, Cruz shot up the lightweight rankings in 2020, announcing his presence with an electrifying first-round knockout over veteran Diego Magdaleno in October. Cruz followed that up in 2021 by winning a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Matías Romero in March and by defeating former champion Francisco Vargas by decision in June. After making his U.S. debut in December 2019, Cruz went unbeaten in his next four bouts, appearing on SHOWTIME® three times in addition to beating Magdaleno on the Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz SHOWTIME PPV undercard.

“I can’t wait to be back in the ring and to fight at AT&T Stadium,"Сказаў Круз. “I love the fans in Texas, they always give me tremendous support. Мой прамоўтэр, Мэнни Пакьяо, has fought at AT&T Stadium before and won both times. I’m excited to follow in his footsteps against a very accomplished former champion in Gamboa. I’m coming to show the fans why I’m one of the best lightweights in the world and to drive Gamboa into retirement on April 16.”

Гамбоа (30-4, 18 КО) is a former unified featherweight champion, holding the IBF and WBA 126-pound titles between 2009 і 2011. A native of Guantanamo, Куба, he now lives and trains in Miami, Фларыда. He dropped a showdown against Terence Crawford in a 2014 Бой года, before rebounding to win seven of eight fights. That run included victories over former world champions Jason Sosa and Roman Martinez, putting Gamboa back into world title contention. In his last two fights, Gamboa has dropped contests against current lightweight world champions, losing via 12й-round TKO to Gervonta Davis in 2019 and by decision against Devin Haney in November 2020.

“I always come to the ring to display my talents and April 16 не будзе адрознівацца,” said Gamboa. “It’s very motivating to be facing a young, strong opponent like Isaac Cruz. I’m going to test him and see if he can stand up to my power. I’m coming to win and make a big statement that I still have what it takes to become champion again.”

The 22-year-old Valenzuela (11-0, 7 КО) now trains as a stablemate of unbeaten two-time world champion David Benavidez as he seeks to move from prospect to contender in 2022. Born in Los Mochis, Сіналоа, Мексіка, Valenzuela turned pro in 2018 and rode a five-bout knockout streak before earning his first 10-round decision in a victory over Deiner Berrio in September 2021. Valenzuela capped off his breakout 2021 у снежні, dominating Austin Dulay on his way to a TKO in round four.

“It’s a dream come true to be on a high-stakes, stacked card like this,” said Valenzuela. “I’ve admired and studied Spence for a long time, especially because we’re both lefties. I can’t wait to get in the ring. I’m not overlooking or underestimating Francisco Vargas in any way. I’m expecting fireworks. You always get a big fight when two Mexican warriors go head-to-head, so I know the fans are going to be delighted with what they see on April 16.”

Fighting out of Mexico City, Варгас (27-3-2, 19 КО) won a 130-pound title in 2015 by defeating Takashi Miura in one of the year’s best fights. The 37-year-old would go on to fight Orlando Salido to an action-packed draw before losing his title to Miguel Berchelt in another memorable affair. Vargas later defeated Stephen Smith and Rod Salka before losing in his rematch with Berchelt in 2019. Зусім нядаўна, Vargas began campaigning at lightweight, scoring back-to-back victories over Ezequiel Aviles in 2019 and Otto Gamez in 2020, prior to dropping a decision against Isaac Cruz in his last fight in June 2021.

“It is an honor to be on such a big card with so many great fighters,” said Vargas. “I’m going to come prepared for this fight and ready to leave the ring with a victory. I know Valenzuela will be trying to make a statement, but I’m coming to do the same. Як заўсёды, the fans can expect a tremendous fight from start to finish.”

Representing his native Ontario, Канада, Crowley (20-0, 9 КО) returns to the ring after a sensational SHOWTIME debut in December 2021 that saw him beat the previously unbeaten Kudratillo Abdukakhorov by unanimous decision. Crowley had previously defeated Josh Torres in September 2020 following a 2019 run that saw him win a Canadian super welterweight title with a 12-round decision over Stuart McLellan in February before successfully defending that title with a dominant decision over Mian Hussain in October. The 28-year-old returned to fight in the U.S. for his last two fights after seven of his first eight pro fights took place in the U.S.

“After my win in December on SHOWTIME, I’m ready to accept the next challenge on my journey to becoming welterweight champion of the world,” said Crowley. “Josesito Lopez is always tough and he brings an exciting style to the table. Unfortunately for him, he will discover what 20 fighters before him have learned, which is that I will not be stopped from achieving my destiny. I want to thank my team for this opportunity to display my skills, heart and relentlessness on this great card at the home of the Dallas Cowboys.”

Лопес (38-8, 21 КО) earned the nickname “The Riverside Rocky’’ because of his go-for-broke style in the ring. He has stepped in across from some of the top boxers in the sport, including champions Canelo Alvarez, Marcos Maidana, Andre Berto and Victor Ortiz. The 37-year-old from Riverside, California is always a tough out in the ring as noted by his narrow majority decision loss to then-champion Keith Thurman in 2019. Since that loss, Lopez has put together back-to-back victories, defeating John Molina, Малодшы. and Francisco Santana.

“I’m eager and very motivated to step back in the ring and prove myself as one of the best fighters in the world,"Сказаў Лопес. “I expect a stiff challenge from Crowley and the fans can expect to see me at my very best. I’m in great shape and ready to put everything on the line. You will definitely want to make sure you don’t miss my fight on April 16.”

Лас-Вегасе (Жнівень 22, 2021) -У кар'еры, якая вызначае кар'еру, Йорденис Агас ззяла на самай вялікай сцэне.

Бурны натоўп 17,438 на арэне T-Mobile у Лас-Вегасе назіраў за выхадцам з аутсайдара Угаса і змагаўся з вялікім Мэнни Пакьяо выйграць 12-раунднае аднагалоснае рашэнне і захаваць тытул чэмпіёна свету па версіі WBA у сярэдняй вазе ў галоўнай падзеі FOX Sports PBC з аплатай за прагляд.

"Я вельмі ўсхваляваны, але, больш за ўсё, Я хачу падзякаваць Мэні Пак'яа за тое, што ён даў мне гэты момант на рынгу сёння,- сказаў потым Угас. "Я казаў табе, Я чэмпіён WBA, і я паказаў гэта сёння ўвечары ».

«Я вельмі эмацыйны. Многія людзі кажуць, што кубінцы не могуць выйграць вялікі бой. Так, Я вельмі ганаруся тым, што я атрымаў гэтую перамогу на Кубе і паказаў, да чаго мы падыходзім ".

Пакьяо, як заўсёды, быў міласэрны ў паразе.

«Віншую Угаса і яго каманду,- сказаў Пак'яа. «Дзякуй усім вам. Я хачу падзякаваць усім сваім прыхільнікам і сродкам масавай інфармацыі. На працягу многіх дзесяцігоддзяў, прэса, СМІ і прыхільнікі бокса заўсёды былі за намі, падтрымліваючы нас. Вось чаму мы тут, чаму мы сталі папулярнымі і чаму здзейснілі свае мары як баец.

«Я баец звонку і ўнутры рынга. Я з нецярпеннем чакаю вяртання на Філіпіны і дапамогі ім падчас гэтай пандэміі ".

Угас выкарыстаў свой памер, сілы і даўжыні, каб Пак'яо здагадваўся, павольна зношваючы адзінага чэмпіёна бокса, які рашуча перамог.

Пакьяо, 42 (67-8-2, 39 КО), абяцаў хуткі старт і апраўдаў сваё слова ў першым, кідаючыся і выходзячы з камбінацыямі. Непрытомны, 35-гадовы Угас (27-4, 12 КО) падтрымліваў жорсткую ахову. У другім, ён раскрыў свой доўгі левы ўдар, чаргаваўшы яго ўверх і ўніз, калі Пак'яа з цяжкасцю прабраўся ўнутр.

Пак'яа пачаў трэці з кароткага налева, але Угас змоўк натоўп уласнымі стрэламі. Кубінец пачаў прызямляцца пятлёй прама ў чацвёртым, ўдар, з якім Пак'яа змагаўся ўсю ноч.

Следам за пятай, Угас зноў заняў верх у шостым, працаваць ударам і наносіць удары па целе. Двухбаковая акцыя падняла натоўп на ногі ў сёмым, калі яны крычалі «Мэнні! Мэнни! Мэнни!»Угас заставаўся ў спакоі, адштурхнуўшы філіпінскага сенатара з большымі правамі.

«Мой трэнер, Ісмаэль Салас, і ў мяне быў план,- сказаў Угас. «Мы збіраліся перамясціць яго; мы збіраліся выкарыстоўваць ўдар і ўтрымаць яго ад раўнавагі. Гэта быў увесь план гульні ".

Угас кантраляваў восьмую, і бурная публіка адгукнулася на больш карныя правы Угаса. Адчуўшы бой выслізгвае, Пак'яа набраў тэмп у дзевятым. Яшчэ, цяжэйшыя стрэлы даносіліся з Угаса.

У пачатку 10й, пакінуты Пак'яа прымусіў Угаса далучыцца. Імпульс быў нядоўгім. Цяпер Угас знайшоў сабе дом і праводзіў яго рэгулярна. The 12й быў асабліва аднабаковым. Угас неаднаразова прызямляўся справа, некалькі разоў раніў Пак'яо і адкрываў парэз каля левага вока.

«Правая рука была стрэлам, які я планаваў выкарыстаць на Мэнні,- сказаў Угас. "Ён працягваў працаваць, таму я працягваў яго выкарыстоўваць".

Пераможца Угас падняў рукі з перамогай, калі прагучаў званок. Праз некалькі імгненняў, тры суддзі забілі бой на яго карысць, адзін паварот у а 115-113 карты ў той час як у двух іншых 116-112.

"У будучыні, вы можаце не ўбачыць Мэні Пак'яа на рынгу,- сказаў Пак'яа. «Я не ведаю. Дазвольце мне спачатку адпачыць, паслабцеся і прыміце рашэнне, працягваць змагацца ці не ».

«Ён легенда, адзін з найвялікшых байцоў, якія калі -небудзь жылі,»Угас сказаў пра свайго суперніка. «Я заўсёды буду паважаць яго не толькі як выдатнага байца, але і за межамі рынга. Я таксама захапляюся тым, што ён змагаецца за сваю краіну, як я. Я хачу вызваліць Кубу ».

У са-галоўную падзею, Роберт "Прывід" Герэра (37-6-1, 20 КО) змагаўся за 10-раунднае аднадушнае рашэнне "Заганны" Віктар Ортыс (32-7-3, 25 КО).

Усе тры суддзі забілі бой 96-94.

«Было добра вярнуцца на рынг з фанатамі, і я, безумоўна, сілкаваўся іх энергіяй,- сказаў Герэра. “Я ведаў, што гэта будзе поўная вайна. Сёння вечарам Віктар Ортыс вывеў з мяне самае лепшае. Увесь бой ішоў наперад і назад, і я выйшаў на першае месца, як і прадказваў ».

Большая частка дзеянняў вялася знутры, дзе Герэра зрабіў больш чыстыя стрэлы. Пасля адчувальнай адкрыткі, Герэра ажыў у другой, узрушаючы Ортис з серыяй магутных стрэлаў.

Круг за раундам, два былыя чэмпіёны свету разганялі кароткія стрэлы ў блізкай зале, кожны адмаўляўся зрабіць крок назад. Герэра моцна спыніў сваё выступленне 10й рама, што аказалася розніцай на картах.

“Я думаў, што я выйграў. Гэта тое, што ёсць,- сказаў Ортыс. «Гэта быў блізкі бой. Ён не пашкодзіў мне. Пару разоў я выходзіў з раўнавагі, але ўсё. Я павінен быў пабаксаваць крыху лепш, але эй, ён зрабіў тое, што павінен быў зрабіць ".

“Цяпер я гатовы ўзмацніцца і змагацца з усімі, каго яны паставяць перада мной,- сказаў Герэра. «У мяне ёсць яшчэ шмат, і я займаюся гэтым відам спорту, каб выйграць яшчэ адзін тытул чэмпіёна свету. Я прысвячаю гэтую барацьбу сваёй сям'і і аддаю ўсю славу свайму гаспадару і выратавальніку Ісусу Хрысту ".

У зорным спектаклі, Марк "Magnifico" Магсайо (23-0, 16 КО) з Філіпін забіў эфектны накаўт Ліпеня Ceja (32-5-1, 28 КО), паставіўшы былога чэмпіёна свету ў 10й раунд іх барацьбы за тытул у лёгкай вазе WBC.

«Я проста шмат працаваў над прамымі ўдарамі,"Сказаў Магсайо. «Я працягваў працаваць па крузе, і калі ўбачыў, што ён паранены, Я сачыў.

«Я вельмі рады выніку. Я чакаў, што яго стыль зробіць гэта, і я чакаў накаўту сёння ўвечары ".

Здавалася, што гэта магла быць ранняя ноч, калі сустрэчны левы кручок ад Магсаё накрыў Сею ў першай. Мексіканскі Сеха гулліва падняўся і вярнуўся ў бой, запавольваючы Magsayo з камбінацыямі да рэбраў.

Праца Сехі акупілася ў канцы пятага, калі левы аперкот пазнаёміў Магсаё з палатном. 26-гадовы гультай падняўся на ногі. Званочак прагучаў праз некалькі хвілін.

У шостым і сёмым Седжа напаў на цела, але Магсаё позна спазнаў другое дыханне. Яго хуткія рукі і ногі дазволілі яму дыктаваць дзеянні ў восьмым. Яму спадабалася яшчэ лепшая дзявятая, міргае злева ў выглядзе ўдараў і гаплікаў.

З боем, здавалася б, вісіць на валаску, Магсаё дазволіў гэтаму выседзець у дзясятым. Пакуль Сея шукаў прытулку па вяроўках, Магсаё адкаркаваў ідэальны здымак адзін-два на сківіцы мексіканца. Сея прасела да мата, дапамаглі па дарозе іншае права. Падліку не трэба было. Суддзя Кені Бэйлес завяршыў бой у 0:50 з 10й круглы.

«Мяне збілі і здзівілі, але я засяродзіў свой розум на тым, чаго хацеў, стрэл чэмпіянату свету,"Сказаў Магсайо. «Сёння гэта мая мара, і цяпер яна спраўджваецца. Спадзяюся, мой наступны бой - гэта тытул чэмпіёна свету ».

«Эскандон быў там з лепшымі. Ён прайшоў шмат тураў з чэмпіёнамі свету,- сказаў Кастра. «Але гэта было толькі пытаннем часу, выбіраючы нашы ўдары. Я яшчэ крыху сеў на свае кадры. Я быў з Мэні Роблесам усяго чатыры месяцы. З крыху больш часу, Я думаю, што мы здолеем дамінаваць у дывізіёне ".

Кастра выкарыстаў свой рост і рост, каб утрымаць Эскандон на адлегласці. Эскандон быў гульнёй ва ўсім. Позна ў першым, ён прыціснуў Кастра да вяровак і прышпіліў яго жорсткім левым кручком.

«Я ведаў, што гэта будзе павольны пачатак,- сказаў Кастра. «Мэні Роблес навучыў мяне шмат чаму, але паўтара года з рынга, новы трэнер - гэта заўсёды інакш. Спарынг і трэніроўкі заўсёды адрозніваюцца ад баёў, таму я адчуваю сябе цудоўна і рады магчымасці. Я павінен працягваць прагрэсаваць ".

Да пачатку другога, Кастра вярнуўся да выкарыстання ўдару і своечасовай працы нагамі. Яго магутнасць удару павялічвалася з кожным раундам.

Кастра працягваў дамінаваць у дзявятым. Ён закрыў шоў у дзясятым, прызямленне яшчэ аднаго вялікага правага боку, а затым залп, які заваліў Кастра. Руіс міласэрна адмахнуўся 1:08 з 10й круглы.

«Я выбіўся з душы і прыклаў максімум намаганняў, але гэта была не мая ноч,- сказаў Кастра. «Я параніў яго ў першым раўндзе, але ў мяне не было дастаткова часу, каб дабіць яго. Я вельмі паважаю Кастра, ён выдатны баец і праявіў выдатнае спартыўнае майстэрства. Я не скончыў і вярнуся ".

«Што будзе далей, залежыць ад маіх прамоўтэраў,- сказаў Кастра. «Я збіраюся ўзяць некаторы час, каб правесці час з сям'ёй, дзякуй маім трэнерам і атрымлівайце асалоду ад перамогі ».

26-гадовы Марцін дыктаваў тэмп з першага званка, працуючы за ўдар паўднёвай лапы і ўступаючы з камбінацыямі. Кельчэўскі быў гульнёй, але не меў адказу на хуткасць Марціна, сіла і атлетызм.

У адным з асноўных мерапрыемстваў на FOX, суперцяжкавагавік Стывен Торэс (5-0, 5 КО) зрабіў хуткую працу Джасцін Ролф (6-3-1, 4 КО), стукаць па Рольфе, пакуль не ўмяшаўся суддзя Роберт Хойл 2:33 першага раўнда іх запланаванага паядынку ў чатыры раунды.

Вось што сказаў Герэра пра матч, трэніровачны лагер і многае іншае:

Аб маючым адбыцца матчы з Віктарам Ортызам:

«Гэты бой даўно ідзе, як я памятаю, гэта згадвалася шмат гадоў таму, але ніколі не адбылося. Я вельмі рады гэтай сустрэчы, бо нам абодвум патрэбна перамога, і прыхільнікі добра знаёмыя з абодвума нашымі стылямі. Мы з Віктарам Ортызам займальныя байцы, і ўсе ведаюць, што гэта будзе сабачы бой, дружалюбны да заўзятараў.

У мяне добры спарынг з ды -джэем Zamora III, які вельмі хуткі. Я сілкуюся ўсімі маладымі байцамі, якія трэніруюцца са мной, і менавіта гэта трымае мяне ў свежым стане.

Я ў той момант, калі я шмат зрабіў у спорце, таму я не буду ваяваць кожны другі месяц, як калі б я быў патэнцыйным кліентам. Калі вы ведаеце, як змагацца, звальненне не заўсёды дрэнна.”

На тое, што выйграе для яго кар'еры:

«Перамога тут дае мне магчымасць змагацца за тытул чэмпіёна свету, і гэта павінна быць мэтай усіх, хто змагаецца, каб выйграць тытул чэмпіёна свету. Калі вы не змагаецеся, каб выйграць тытул чэмпіёна свету, вы не павінны займацца спортам. Я хачу заваяваць прынамсі яшчэ адзін тытул чэмпіёна свету, перш чым усё будзе сказана і зроблена. Гэта высокая мэта, але я веру ў сябе ".

Лас-Вегасе (Жнівень 11, 2021) – Eight-division world champion and Philippine Senator Мэнні "Пакман" Пак'яа and WBA Welterweight World Champion Ёрдэніс Угас previewed their championship showdown during a virtual press conference on Wednesday before they meet in the FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View main event Saturday, Жнівень 21 з T-Mobile Arena у Лас-Вегасе.

Ugás steps up to replace Errol Spence Jr. у галоўную падзею, as Spence recovers from an eye injury. Ugás had been preparing to make his first title defense in the co-main event and will now face the boxing legend Pacquiao in a career-defining fight, defending the same title that Pacquiao won when he defeated Keith Thurman in his last fight July 2019.

Квіткі на турніры, які прасоўваецца TGB Promotions і MP Promotions, цяпер прадаюцца і можна набыць праз t-mobilearena.com і axs.com.

Вось тое, што байцы павінны былі сказаць сераду:

MANNY PACQUIAO

“I want to say that I’m praying for Errol to make a fast recovery from his injury. Health is always the priority and the most important thing. I did my best in training and in preparation for this fight, so I wanted to make sure my hard work was not wasted.

“Ugás was ready to fight and challenge me on August 21. So it’s a great thing that I can show off my hard work in the gym when we face each other on fight night.

“I’m not disappointed at all in what happened because my hard work will not be wasted. Ugás stepped up and is bringing his WBA championship into the fight, which I’m excited to fight for.

“I always consider myself a bipartisan boxer. I am happy to fight either right-handed or southpaw fighters. It’s no problem for me at all to switch the styles that I’m going to face.

“What I can say to the fans is that this is definitely not an easy fight. Ugás is a champion because they gave him my belt. Зараз, we have to settle it inside of the ring. I cannot take him lightly, because he’s the kind of fighter who will take advantage of that.

“I have a lot of people around me that motivate me to win this fight, especially for my family. I’m also very motivated to give the fans a great fight that they’re going to enjoy in the arena or watching on pay-per-view.

“In the end, I want to win the belts. I’m so excited for this championship fight and I don’t care if I’m the challenger or champion coming into it. We’ll see who is the champion after August 21.

“I know that Ugás is also very prepared for his fight because he was going to be on the undercard. If there was no Ugás on the undercard, it’s possible we would have cancelled the fight. It’s a good thing we had another welterweight champion on the card for this scenario that happened.

“The only danger for this fight is the change in stance. Both Spence and Ugás are aggressive fighters, які мне падабаецца. We can create a lot of great action in the ring that the fans will love.

“I would tell the fans not to miss this fight. This is going to be a really good one. I’m sure that me and Ugás are going to give a fight full of action. I’m excited to see everyone in Las Vegas on August 21.”

YORDENIS UGÁS

“I’m feeling great and super excited to fight on this big stage. I’m ready to go get in the ring on August 21. I couldn’t be more excited for this fight.

“When I got the call that I was going to face one of the best fighters in history, it just pushed my excitement to new highs. I can’t wait to show everyone what I’m capable of.

“I also want to wish Errol Spence Jr. a safe and fast recovery. I hope he gets healthy soon and we see him back in the ring.

“I’m used to taking fights at the last minute. It’s really nothing new to me. Once I knew I was fighting Pacquiao, I got right back to work, because I’m always ready to fight anyone they put in front of me.

“I got elevated to being the WBA champion in January, but now we can say that whoever wins on August 21 is the true WBA Welterweight World Champion.

“It’s all about making adjustments at this point. I’ve had a lot of experience doing this before fights. It’s happened multiple times, so I’m truly prepared at all times to adjust to whatever comes my way.

“Fighting Manny Pacquiao is very significant to me. It means the world to me. I’m not fighting for the money, I’m fighting for my legacy, and for my country. This is the most important fight of my life.

“I’m well-aware that Pacquiao is the favorite. But at the same time, I’m a champion. Since I came back five years ago, I’ve overcome so much. I’ve faced so many strong opponents in order to get to where I am today. I have full confidence in myself and my ability to get a victory.

“When I went away from boxing, I was focused on family and spending time with my son. At that time, I never thought I would be defending a title against Manny Pacquiao. But for the past five years I’ve been one of the most active and successful boxers out there and I’m ready to prove myself once again.

“I’m a fighter not only inside of the ring, but outside of the ring I fight for the freedom of my people. That’s the most important thing to me. I hope everyone fighting for freedom in Cuba is safe and knows that I’ll be fighting for them on Saturday, Жнівень 21.

“Underestimating Manny Pacquiao is out of the question. He’s going to be ready. I have prepared to face the best so that I can become the best.

“This is going to be a great fight for all the fans. I’m planning on leaving everything in the ring. I can guarantee an amazing fight. We’re going to give a big gift to the fans on August 21. I’m leaving my heart out there for all my fans.”

Лас-Вегасе (Ліпеня 21, 2019) – Boxing’s only eight-division world champion, Senator MannyPacMan” Пакьяо ўпаў Кіт “Адзін Раз” Турман 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,” said Pacquiao. “My opponent is a good fighter and boxer. Ён быў моцным. 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,” Саід Турман. “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,” Саід Турман. “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 для 195, while Pacquiao was busier throwing 686 ўдары па 571 from Thurman.

I really love the fans,” said 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 асноўны момант ВОТ

Pacquiao had a large advantage in jabs landed, падключэння на 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.

Пасля 12 раўндаў, 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,” Саід Турман. “Tonight was a blessing and a lesson. Thank you everybody, and thank you Manny Pacquiao.

“Я думаю (I will fight) next year,” said Pacquiao. “I will go back to the Philippines and work and then make a decision. I do hope to be at the (Эррол) Спенс супраць. (Шон) Porter fight on September 28.

The co-main event of the pay-per-view saw top contender Йорденис Агас (24-4, 11 КО) drop previously unbeaten Амар Фігероа (28-1-1, 19 КО) 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.

Watch the highlight of the knockdown ВОТ

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. Аднак, the inside fighting led to Ugas being deducted a point by the referee in round five for holding.

Ugas fought a smart fight,” Саід Фігероа. “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 для 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 rounds.

Пасля 12 раўндаў, 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. супраць. 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. супраць. Shawn Porter.

Additional action saw former world champion Сяргей Lipinets (16-1, 12 КО) score a highlight-reel knockout against Jayar Inson (18-3, 12 КО) 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,” said Lipinets. “As far as fighting a southpaw, I’ve had so many amateur fights in my kickboxing career that I had no problem adjusting. Гэта быў проста пытанне часу,. 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 секунд пасля пачатку раўнда.

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,” said 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 Луіс Неры (30-0, 24 КО) deliver a ninth-round knockout of former bantamweight champion Хуан Карлас Паяно (21-3, 9 КО).

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 для 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 у раўндзе.

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 Калеб “Sweethands” Завод (19-0, 11 КО) retain his title with a dominant third-round knockout over previously unbeaten Майк Лі (21-1, 11 КО).

It went exactly how I planned it would go,” Саід завод. “Абсалютна. 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,” Саід завод. “So it was just about making adjustments. Ён вялікі, 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,” сказаў Лі. “I had some success with my right hands but wasn’t able to be consistent with it.

У трох круглых, 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 у раўндзе.

Пасля бою, 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.

“О так, we can definitely unify,” Саід завод. “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 КО) score a unanimous decision over Ali Eren Demirezen (11-1, 10 КО) 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, пасадка 10 з 45 jabs per round, doubling the heavyweight average. Аднак, 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, пасадка 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. зноў.”

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

Пасля 10 rounds of action all three judges scored the fight in favor of Ajagba, дзесяткамі 99-91 у два разы і 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 Дыега Чавес, Ліпеня 27, 2013, AT&Т цэнтр, Сан - Антоніо: 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 з 22 праціўнікі.

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 10й круглы. 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,” Саід Турман. “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.

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,” Саід Турман, “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, Красавіка 26, 2014, StubHub цэнтр, Carson, Халіф: 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,” Саід Турман. “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 Leonard Bundu, Снежні 13, 2014, the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Лас-Вегас: 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 тры разы) 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,” Саід Турман. “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 Роберт Герэра, Сакавіка 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 КО), a two-division title winner. He overcame a grotesque hematoma above his left eye from an accidental clash of heads, ўпаў “Прывід” 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,” Саід Турман. “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,” Саід Турман. “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, Florida.

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,” Саід Турман. “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 Дэні Гарсія, Сакавіка 4, 2017, Barclays Center: Thurman won a clash of 28-year-olds over the then unbeaten Garcia (33-0, 19 КО), 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,” Саід Турман. “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,” Саід Турман. “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?” Саід Турман, rhetorically speaking. “Вядома, 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.

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,” Саід Турман. “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, Florida.

UD 12 Шон Портер, Чэрвеня 25, 2016, Barclays Center, Brooklyn, Нью-Ёрк:Thurman overcame a bullish former champion in Porter (26-2-1, 16 КО) before an electric crowd, winning a give-and-take, blood-and-guts brawl by scores of 115-113, на ўсіх трох суддзяў’ карты. 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,” Саід Турман. “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 Дэні Гарсія, Сакавіка 4, 2017, Barclays Center: Thurman won a clash of 28-year-olds over the then unbeaten Garcia (33-0, 19 КО), 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,” Саід Турман. “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.

Мэнни Пакьяо (61-7-2, 39 КО), Ліпеня 20, 2019, the MGM Grand Garden Arena: The 40-year-old Pacquiao has earned back-to-back victories over former champions by seventh-round TKO over Lucas Matthysse (Ліпеня 2018) and unanimous decision Adrien Broner (Студзеня).

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?” Саід Турман, rhetorically speaking. “Вядома, 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, Турман (29-0, 22 КО), 30, had won a close unanimous decision over former title holder “Час Для Шоу” Shawn Porter in June 2016 and a split-decision over two-division title winner Danny “Хутка” 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 Дыега Чавес, Ліпеня 27, 2013, AT&Т цэнтр, Сан - Антоніо: 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 з 22 праціўнікі.

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 10й круглы. 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,” Саід Турман. “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.

СААЗ 9 Ісус Сота Karass, Снежні 14, 2013, Alamodome, Сан - Антоніо: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,” Саід Турман, “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, Красавіка 26, 2014, StubHub цэнтр, Carson, Халіф: 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,” Саід Турман. “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 Leonard Bundu, Снежні 13, 2014, the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Лас-Вегас: 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 тры разы) 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,” Саід Турман. “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 Роберт Герэра, Сакавіка 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 КО), a two-division title winner. He overcame a grotesque hematoma above his left eye from an accidental clash of heads, ўпаў “Прывід” 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,” Саід Турман. “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.

FRANCISCO ‘CHIASANTANA TO MAKE PBC DEBUT


WELTERWEIGHT CONTENDER ADDED TO THE TELEVISED UNDERCARD OF PORTER VS. UGASLIVE ON FOXMARCH 9TH



Ventura, Каліфорнія: Лютага 18, 2019


Francisco ‘Chia’ Сантана (25-6-1, 12 КО) зробіць яго PBC debut on the televised undercard of the WBC Welterweight World Championship Fight паміж Шон Портер і Йорденис Агас жыць на Ліса на March 9th at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Каліфорнія.


Santana will face Arizona’s Абель Рамас (23-3-2, 18 КО) in what promises to be an action packed battle between two aggressive fighters both coming off victories, with the winner in line to face an opponent from PBC’s deep welterweight stable later this year.


Сантана, who is coming off one of the biggest upsets of 2018 калі ён перамог Алімпійскі чэмпіён and world title challenger, Фелікс Дыяс, is currently ranked #14 у WBC.


It’s crazy how much can change in a year.explains, Сантана.


Last year at this time I was coming off back to back controversial losses that I felt I had won. My promoter had dropped me. I couldn’t find a fight. I had been out of the ring for a year. It looked like my career was over. I actually landed the Diaz fight because a friend entered me in an online contest to be an alternate fighter for a WBC tournament. The fans voted me in and when a fighter was injured, I was bumped up into the main tournament. I knew no one was giving me a chance to beat Diaz who was the favorite to win the whole tournament but when I’m overlooked that’s when I’m the most dangerous. The win landed me in the WBC’s Top 15 rankings allowing me to now be able to fight for their world title. I believe I am only one or two fights away from that opportunity and no one is going to stand in my way.


Having worked with several promoters throughout his 14 год прафесійнай кар'еры, Santana is happy to be featured on a major Прэм'ер Бокс чэмпіёнаў падзея.


The amount of world class welterweights that PBC has is unreal, у тым ліку 4 з 5 current world champions. It’s literally a who’s who of the division. I’m beyond excited to be able to make my PBC debut on Fox in primetime on the undercard of the WBC welterweight title fight. I have nothing but respect for a fellow hard working fighter like Ramos and I expect a war but I intend to make a statement on March 9th and come out victorious.


Сантана, a Santa Barbara native who lives and trains in Ventura, California atKnuckleHeadz Boxing Gym with trainer, Іосіф “HossJanik, is a favorite amongst hardcore boxing fans for his relentless in ring style and his fight anyone, ўсюды, anytime attitude that has seen him give multiple future world champions all they could handle. У дадатак, he’s widely considered one of the friendliest fighters in the entire sport.


I follow the golden rule. Treat others how you want to be treated. I’m a boxer but I’m a also massive boxing fan. Nothing is better than going to the fights and talking boxing with other fans. I’m no different than them. I wake up and run. I go to work all day with an hour commute back and forth. I hit the gym at night. I spend what little time I have left with my family. Then I go to sleep exhausted. I haven’t caught many breaks in this sport but I still haven’t given up on my dream of being a world champion. In life or in boxing, my motto is train, барацьба, перамога. I think that’s something everyone can relate to.
