DEONTAY WILDER AND TYSON FURY FIGHT TO SPLIT-DECISION DRAW IN EPIC BATTLE ON SHOWTIME PPV® FROM STAPLES CENTER IN LOS ANGELES
|
|
ЛОС АНЏЕЛЕС (Декември. 1, 2018) – Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder and Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury fought to a split-decision draw on SHOWTIME PPV® on Saturday night from STAPLES Center in arguably one of the best heavyweight fights in years.
After controlling the WBC World Championship fight early, бес (27-0-1, 19 КО) miraculously overcame two knockdowns by Wilder (40-0-1, 39 КО) – including one in round 12 – in the improbable draw. Судиите го постигна рунда 115-111 for Wilder, 114-112 for Fury and 113-113.
“I think with the two knockdowns I definitely won the fight,” said Wilder, who has recorded a knockdown in each of his 41 pro fights and was defending his WBC belt for the eighth time since 2015. “We poured our hearts out tonight. We’re both warriors, but with those two drops I think I won the fight.”
Fury saw it differently, stating that he gave it everything he had.
“We’re on away soil, I got knocked down twice, but I still believe I won that fight,” said England’s Fury, whose amazing comeback continues following a two and a half-year absence from the sport from drug and alcohol addiction and mental health issues. “I hope I did you all proud after nearly three years out of the ring. I was never going to be knocked down tonight. I showed good heart to get up. I came here tonight and I fought my heart out.”
It was an electrifying night with an attendance announced at 17,698 фанови, which included Hollywood stars and fight fans like former Lakers greats Shaquille O’Neal, Jerry West, former NFL stars Michael Strahan and Michael Irvin, and boxing legends Evander Holyfield and Floyd Mayweather.
бес, who out-landed Wilder 84-71 Целокупната, was caught by a short right hand by Wilder just behind the left ear to drop Fury for the third time in his career in the ninth round. Then in the 12th, a Wilder right hand and left hook combination sent the 6-foot-9 Fury down again, hitting his head on the canvas. Повторно, he managed to stand up and referee Jack Reiss let him continue to fight.
“Boxing is always the theater of the unexpected, and that’s what we had tonight,” SHOWTIME expert analyst Al Bernstein said.
Bernstein said seeing Fury get up and continue to fight after the brutal knockdown was “one of the most astonishing things I’ve ever seen in the boxing ring.”
Историчар и коментатор на боксот ШОВТИМ Стив Фарнити го Фјури контролирајќи ги раните рунди и победничките рунди 3-8, и на крајот ја постигна борбата, 115-111.
Поради клаузула за реванш, и двајцата борци беа запрашани дали сакаат повторно да го сторат тоа. „Би сакал тоа да биде мојата следна борба,“, Рече Вајлдер. "Зошто да не? Да им дадеме на фановите она што сакаат да го видат. Тоа беше голема борба и да го направиме тоа повторно. Не ми е важно каде го правиме тоа “.
„Сто проценти ќе го направиме реваншот,“, Рече Фјури, оттогаш се бореше во првиот натпревар од титулата во тешка категорија, плаќајќи по гледаност во Америка 2002. „Ние сме двајца одлични шампиони. Јас и овој човек сме двајцата најдобри тешка категорија на планетата “.
Вајлдер рече дека излегол бавен и ги брзал ударите. “I didn’t sit still. I was too hesitant. I started overthrowing the right hand and I just couldn’t adjust.”
бес, fighting for the third time this year with 26-year-old trainer Ben Davison in his corner, also had former boxing great Ricky Hatton and seven-time Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach in his corner.
In the lead-up fight to Wilder-Fury, “Swift” Jarrett Hurd (23-0, 16 КО) defended his 154-pound IBF and WBA world title belts with a fourth-round knockout against United Kingdom’s James Welborn (24-7, 7 КО), who was fighting for the first time on American soil.
Welborn was the aggressor in the first minute of the fourth round, sending Hurd to the ropes with punch after punch to the body and head. Suddenly realizing he might be in trouble, Hurd of Accokeek, Md., се спротивстави на ненадејната неволја во драматична мода и го испрати повратното следење на Велборн пред уништувачкото тело да го испрати на колено. Тој беше изброен на 1:55 од судијата Лу Морет, кој ја офицерираше последната борба од својата 30-плус годишна кариера.
По борбата, непоразената супер умерена тежина ermермел Шарло влезе во рингот за да ги предизвика посакуваните појаси на Хард. „Дефинитивно го сакаме Чарло,“, Изјави Хард за SHOWTIME Спорт’ Џим Греј, велејќи дека натпреварот веројатно ќе се случи по уште една борба. „Ги повикувам снимките. Јас не. 1 сега. Кога ќе кажам одговорете на телефон, одговори на телефон. Го добив датумот “.
Чарло шутираше назад. „Ова се лесни пари. Ми се допаѓаат тие ремени - тие изгледаат навистина добро на вас. Тој рече дека сака друга борба. Подготвен сум сега “
Херд, who unified the WBA and IBF belts by beating WBA champion Erislandy Lara in April in Las Vegas, was returning with a surgically repair left shoulder. He threw 118 убодите, more than half of the 220 punches he threw in the fight.
“I’m just coming off surgery so I wanted to see how I worked off the jab,” Hurd said. “I felt good I was working behind the jab I got caught on the ropes and got caught with some shots and said ‘that’s enough. He got enough TV time.’ I heard the crowd and I didn’t want to get brave. So I turned it up and got the knockdown.”
Former Wilder foe and heavyweight southpaw Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz (30-1, 26 КО) се врати во СТАПЛС Центарот за втора последователна победа со воодушевувачкото 10-то коло ТКО против Тревис „Моето време“ Кауфман (32-3, 23 КО) Ридинг, Pa.
39-годишниот Ортиз од Камагуј, Куба, регистрирани нокаути на левиот крст во шестата, осма и 10-та рунда пред последниот удар кој доаѓа подоцна во 10-то коло против грозниот Кафман. Тоа беше 26-та стоп во кариерата за Ортиз, кој загуби од Вајлдер во кандидатот за борба на годината уште во март.
Тепачката беше официјално повикана во 1:58 од 10-то коло. "Јас сум воин,“, Рече Ортиз. „Ништо не ме содржи. Не мораше да го нокаутираме, но сакавме да покажеме сè што имаме во нашиот репертоар, и тоа го покажавме вечерва. “
Ортиз, кој бил предупреден двапати за ниски удари, го повлече Кафман по втор пат со смртоносна лева рака на Ортиз на 2:29 во осмата рунда. But just like the first time he was send to canvas in the sixth round, Kauffman was able to get up and continue fighting.
The technically sound performance by Ortiz included 376 jab attempts to Kauffman’s 99 and out-landing him 66-7. That led to a 135-37 lead in total connects and a 69-30 margin in power connects against Kauffman, who SHOWTIME commentator Paulie Malignaggi called, “a stubborn guy who wouldn’t go away.”
“Of course I’ll fight the winner of this fight [Wilder-Fury],“, Рече Ортиз. “I want that second fight with Wilder. I want to fight anybody.”
In the pay-per-view telecast opener, Joe “The Juggernaut” Joyce (7-0, 7 КО) recorded a massive first-round knockout against Joe “The Future” Hanks (23-3, 15 КО). A rising heavyweight, Joyce, од Лондон, Англија, ended the fight officially after just 2:25 as he used a right jab to set up a near-perfect left hook sending Hanks to the canvas and down for the count.
Trained by noted trainer Abel Sanchez, Joyce told Gray he’s ready for anyone. “I want to get in some bigger fights,” said the former Olympic silver medal winner who recorded his fourth first-round KO. “I’ve been doing well so there is plenty more to come. All the support from back home in England, thanks for coming. I hope I put on something good to watch.”
It was the second win in the United States for Joyce, who also picked up the vacant WBA Continental heavyweight title. “I’m getting people out quickly,", Рече тој. “I’ve got a lot of experience, I’m just going to improve on my strength and my speed. Слушнав коментари дека сум бавен, но изгледа дека ги спуштам снимките и ја завршив работата “.
Ова беше трет пат во текот на неговата кариера Хенкс, од Newуарк, N.J., е срушен од левата кука.

Квебек Сити (Декември 1, 2018) – Adonis Stevenson’s five-and-a-half-year reign as the WBC Light Heavyweight Champion is over. Oleksandr Gvozdyk dethroned boxing’s longest reigning champion with a devastating 11та round knockout Saturday in Quebec City in a SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION telecast that immediately preceded the Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury SHOWTIME PPV.
Gvozdyk (16-0, 13 КО) used a powerful multi-punch combination in the penultimate round to put the back-and-forth bout out of question. The former Olympic bronze medalist and amateur teammate of fellow Ukrainians Vasyl Lomachenko and Oleksandr Usyk was impressive throughout the entire fight. He executed trainer Teddy Atlas’ game plan to perfection and was the busier of the two fighters. Стивенсон (29-2-1, 24 КО), who was making his 10та одбраната на титулата, was able to land his signature left hand on several occasions, most notably in the tenth round, but never did enough to truly trouble his opponent.
“This win means everything to me. I’ve trained my whole life for this and tonight all of the hard work was worth it,” said Gvozdyk, who was the mandatory challenger for Stevenson. “Having Teddy [Atlas] in my corner was a huge help. He knew exactly what to say to me. We trained so well for this fight and I knew I was going to get the knockout.
“Adonis was a great champion but it’s my time now. He got me with a good shot in the 10та round but I handled it and finished him. Во моментов, I just want to rest before I discuss my next step. I definitely want to stay at 175 фунти. "
Stevenson was transported to a local hospital as precautionary measure and was unavailable for comment following the fight.

Salamov Defends Championships with Unanimous Decision over Ghana’s Anim in Sochi, Русија
|
|
Во саботата, Декември 1, at the Galaktika Culture Centre in Sochi, Русија, Umar Salamov will defend his Eurasian Boxing Parliament and WBO International Light Heavyweight Championships when he faces once-beaten Emmanuel “Horse Power” Anim in an explosive 10-round showdown.
Salamov (22-1, 17 КО), from Alkhan-Kala, Русија, is currently ranked WBC #10, ВБА #13, ИБФ #7 and WBO #10 во светот. Anim (13-1-1, 11 КО), from Accra, Гана, is a former Ghanaian Super Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Champion. The fight will also be televised live in Russia on Match TV.
“I take every fight seriously,” said Salamov. “My preparations have been excellent for this match. I scored a KO in all my wins this year and I’ll do it again on December 1.”
Salamov caught the boxing public’s eye in North America last June with a brutal one-punch knockout over respectable prospect Brian Howard. With top-10 rankings by every major sanctioning body, it’s a matter of time for the 24-year-old slugger.
“The light heavyweight division is one of the most talent-packed in boxing,” said Salamov’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “Umar is one of the best in the world and with an impressive victory on December 1, he will be one step closer to reaching his goal of becoming a world champion.”
Results from “Rumble at the Rock III” at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Флорида.

Mexico’s Ricardo “Hindu” Espinoza (21-2, 18 КО) made the most of his Telemundo appearance in the main event of “Rumble at the Rock III,” tonight (Петок, Ноември. 30), at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Флорида., by destroying previously undefeated Yeison Vargas (17-1, 12 КО) of Colombia in two rounds
After an uneventful first round, Espinoza impressively opened up and dropped Vargas three times in the second. In the process, Espinoza, the streaking WBO #2 кандидат, picked up a TKO 2 and the WBO Latino Bantamweight Championship. Having never left his homeland for a fight before, Vargas seemed unprepared for the brutal power of Espinoza’s hooks and right hands. The time was 1:19.
In the 10-round welterweight co-main event, Puerto Rican prospect Derrieck Cuevas (19-0-1, 14 КО) scored an impressive unanimous 10-round decision over Miami via Barranquilla, Colombia veteran Breidis “Khanqueror” Prescott (31-15, 22 КО).
Cuevas is a wicked puncher. Prescott was down in round one from a thudding left hook and was saved by the bell from a quick KO loss. What followed over the next nine rounds was a clinic from the surprisingly elusive 24-year-old Cuevas on hitting, тешко, and not getting hit back.
Always a warrior, the battle-proven Prescott tried for the entire fight, but simply couldn’t reach Cuevas with anything consequential. Cuevas looks to have the goods to continue to climb the 147-lb ladder into contender status. The scores were not announced.
Popular Miami light heavyweight Ulysses Diaz (7-0, 6 КО) was too much for Sonora, Mexico’s Fabian Valdez (3-5), as he stopped him in two rounds of a scheduled four. “The Monster” Diaz, a serious crowd favorite in South Florida, clubbed Valdez with his trademarked sledgehammers, sending the hapless Mexican reeling around the ring until the slaughter was mercifully waved off at 49 секунди. Valdez was down from a body shot in round one.
Miami lightweight Manuel Correa (3-0, 2 КО) pounded out a brutal unanimous (40-36 X 3) four-round decision over Dustin Arnold (6-2, 1 КО) of Coral Springs, Флорида.
Lacking the power to get the relentlessly energized fists of Correa away from him, Arnold did well to survive the onslaught. His face didn’t feel so lucky though, as he was reduced to a bloody mask during the carnage. Correa is a pitbull worth having another look at. The normally capable Arnold will have to improve his power to compete with savagery of the type that fighters like Correa can generate.
Miami welterweight Livan Navarro (10-0, 6 КО) scored an entertaining fourth-round knockout (54 секунди) over Colombian veteran Wilfrido Buelvas (19-11, 13 КО). The pair of sluggers traded free-swinging haymakers throughout. Buelvas even looked to have hurt Navarro in the second, но, eventually, Navarro’s superior power took over and that was it for the Colombian from Barranquilla.
Buelvas went down twice in round three and twice more in round four, the final time for the full 10 count.
In an eight-round super featherweight bout, former top-ranked veteran Mike “Machine Gun” Oliver (26-10-1, 8 КО) of Hartford showed the ravages of time, as he flopped twice and quit in the first round against Miami’s undefeated featherweight Hairon “El Maja” Socarras (20-0-3, 12 КО). What would have been an entertaining scrap a few years ago was more of a sad exhibition as Oliver dropped from the two punches he caught and elected to quit after the second “knockdown.” The time was 50 секунди.
All-action Miami featherweight Jessy Cruz (15-7-1, 6 КО) continued his winning streak with a four-round beatdown of Mexican veteran Isaias Martin Cardona (25-15, 17 КО). Cardona, a showboating type, was down in round, еден, three and four. After the fourth, saner heads prevailed, and he was prevented from coming out for the fifth. The official verdict was a TKO 5 (0:01).
Miami via Cuba’s hard-punching super middleweight Irosvani Duvergel (5-0, 3 КО) stayed undefeated by making quick work of Miami’s Yendris Rodriguez Valdez (2-3, 2 КО) by way of TKO 1 (1:46). The exciting Cuban was too strong for Valdez and after going down from a right hand, Valdez’s corner signaled their man’s surrender.
A four-round featherweight contest ended early when Puerto Rico’s Luis “Chucho” Melendez (3-1, 2 КО) scored a TKO 2 (2:13) over debuting local Jonathan Conde. After a routine first round, Melendez had Conde down three times, the first with a counter left hook and then twice more with big right hands.
In the four-round heavyweight opener between two Miami-based sluggers, Hector “Ready for War” Hodge (3-3, 1 КО) spoiled the pro debut of Jairus Gladney (0-1) by knockout at 1:43 на вториот круг. The pair of big men traded wild shots until Hodge found pay dirt with a southpaw left hand, dropping Gladney. Gladney rose but was in no condition and another roundhouse left finished things.
“Rumble at the Rock III” was presented by Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory, in association with Tuto Zabala of All Star Boxing.

The 28-year-old, nicknamed “El Matador,” will serve as Bellator’s headliner for the second consecutive time in his 13th fight with the promotion. A homegrown fighter from the famed Roufusport MMA Academy in Milwaukee has defeated a who’s who of 145-pounders including former champions Даниел Штраус and Marcos Galvao, as well as standouts Сем Сицилија, Justin Lawrence and Georgi Karakhanyan. Сега, Sanchez looks to immediately put himself back into contender status with a tough test on March 22.
Based out of London, Ashleigh “The White Wolf” Grimshaw has competed professionally since 2003, amassing more than 30 professional bouts across the European MMA scene. Unbeaten in his last four contests, Grimshaw has finished his opponent 18 times in his 20 победи. Сега, set for his promotional debut with Bellator, the 36-year-old will be looking to make noise in a division currently championed by Patricio "Pitbull" Фреире.
