**(7 P.M. ET / 4 p.m. PT)**

***FOX PBC Fight Night Precedes PBC on FOX Sports***
***Pay-Per-View Event Headlined by Manny Pacquiao vs. Keith Thurman Welterweight World Title Matchup***

**Biletoj sur Vendo Nun!**

**LASa VEGAS** (Majo 21, 2019) – Undefeated IBF Super Middleweight World Champion **Caleb “Sweethands” Planto** will make the first defense of his title against unbeaten contender **Mike Lee** in the main event of FOX PBC Fight Night and on FOX Deportes Saturday, Julio 20 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Televidigita priraportado komenciĝas je 7 P.M. ET / 4 p.m. PT and will precede the FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View event that also takes place at MGM Grand and is headlined by eight-division champion Manny Pacquiao facing WBA Welterweight World Champion Keith Thurman.

“Caleb Plant put the boxing world on notice with his exciting title-winning performance in January and will look to build on that showing against an unbeaten contender in Mike Lee on July 20,” diris Tom Brown, Prezidanto de TGB Promotions. “His first defense of the title will put Plant in primetime on FOX and FOX Deportes in Las Vegas and building up to the Pacquiao vs. Thurman pay-per-view event. With two undefeated fighters going toe-to-toe in this first main event of the evening, fans are in for a memorable night of action.”

Biletoj por la evento, which is presented by TGB Promotions and Sweethands Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased online through AXS.com, charge by phone at 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

Planto vs. Lee will see two hungry unbeaten fighters square off, as Plant looks to defend his title and cement himself as the class of the 168-pound ranks, while Lee will look to join the super middleweight elite as a world champion for the first time.

To win the title, Planto (18-0, 10 KOs) turned the tables on the hard-hitting Venezuelan slugger Jose Uzcategui in their IBF championship fight in January on FS1. Going into the match the consensus was that Uzcategui was the harder puncher and that Plant would have to withstand his power to walk away with the belt. It was the 26-year-old Plant, Tamen, who stunned Uzcategui by dropping him to the canvas twice on the way to a convincing unanimous decision. It was an emotional night for Plant, who is from Ashland City, Tenn. and now lives in Las Vegas. He had dedicated his career-best victory to the memory of his late daughter Alia, who suffered from a rare disorder that caused seizures.

“I’m more than ready to return to the ring on July 20 as the main event on FOX at MGM Grand in Las Vegas,” said Plant. “I’ll be defending my IBF world title in tremendous fashion and this is one fight you guys will not want to miss. I’m taking this fight just as seriously as my last opponent.

“This guy is undefeated and looking to stay that way, but unfortunately for him, he took on the wrong challenge against the wrong guy. Come July 20, he’ll realize he’s in deeper water than he’s ever been in. My last fight was for Alia, but this fight I’m dedicating to my beautiful mother Beth Ann. May you Rest in Peace, Love you Momma.”

The 31-year-old Lee (21-0, 11 KOs) graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in business, but decided to pursue his boxing dreams rather than take a job on Wall Street. A native of Wheaton, Illinois who now lives in Chicago, Lee has made a steady climb up the ladder and has been campaigning at light heavyweight. He will be moving down to super middleweight to challenge for his first world championship. Lee is coming off an impressive unanimous decision victory over Jose Hernandez on last June 8.

“I’ve have dreamt of the opportunity to fight for a world title for years,” Diris Lee. “All the years of hard work, pain and sacrifice have led me to this moment. On July 20 I will be victorious and prove everyone wrong that didn’t believe I was good enough to even get here.

“When I spent almost two years in and out of hospitals battling an autoimmune disease there were moments I never thought I could get back to this level and there were doctors who told me my fighting days were done. But I have won every fight since and I plan to prove that anything is possible if you want it bad enough. I could not have done this without my Dad, my advisor Mike Borao and my trainers Jamal Abdullah and Julian Chua.”

It will also be available worldwide via stream to all in-home and out-of-home connected devices at FITE-TV and www.bareknuckle.tv.

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

**PAULIE MALIGNAGGI**

“I’ve always been known as one of the toughest guys in boxing. Lobov is known as a punching bag with a loud mouth.

“If I had it my way, I’d knock him out in the last round. I want to pummel him from start to finish. He’s going to come out trying hard, and then he’s going to get gun shy. He’s going to hesitate to even take a step.

“I’m always looking for my next challenge. I wasn’t planning on this, but it was sold to me, and it appealed to me. Artem is a punching bag and I usually hit that for free.

“I never lie, because I don’t have to fear anyone. You only lie because you’re afraid. Why are Lobov and his team lying? You know why. I don’t care what they think. I’m going to put this guy out next month.

“As I train, I realize that my hands are like razor blades. Get a good look at Lobov’s face, because next month I’m going to make it look like a road map with lines all over it.”

**ARTEM LOBOV**

“I feel I have the upper hand in this fight. With age, it’s easier to get knocked out. He’s never hurt anybody in the ring, so it’s going to be a bad matchup for him.

“I see me stopping him. He doesn’t want it anymore. In order to be a fighter and really compete, you have to have the fire. His fire is long gone.

“My strategy is to come in there and shove my fist down his throat. It’s personal now with the way he’s been talking and acting. I’m going to put him away.

“Paulie likes to hide behind the jab and feint. He never lets his hands go. He just hides and tries to make it to the end of the fight.

“I’m going to let it all go in that ring on June 22. I’m going to be the ‘Russian Hammer’ from the start until the finish. I want to meet him in the ring and put him away like true warriors do.

“I never wrap my hands. Not when I spar, not when I hit the bag or anything. It’s made them tougher. They may not look pretty, but they do a lot of damage.

“It’s game over for Paulie. I heard he’s known as the ‘Magic Man’, but I just hope he doesn’t disappear before the fight.”

**CHRIS LEBEN**

“Bare knuckle is definitely an exciting sport. It’s all of the good stuff. Two guys going toe-to-toe. It’s what I do best and it puts me in a dangerous position to hurt my opponents. When I first saw BKFC I felt like this sport was made for me.

“You can’t really cover up without the glove as a shield in bare knuckle, so it changes how you defend. But it also changes how you hit and where your range is at.

“I think this sport was made for me and it’s going to show in the fight. We’re both heavy hitters. Brennan will be my toughest BKFC opponent to date and I’m not taking him lightly. I’m riding a resurgence and it’s not going to stop.

“I’m pulling out all the stops and doing everything I can to prepare. Because on June 22, I’m knocking him out.”

**BRENNAN WARD**

“Trejnado tendaro estis iranta grandan. I’m really excited because I’ve been waiting to do a bare knuckle fight for a while. I knew right away that this was for me.

“I think I have a great skillset for bare knuckle. I’m quick and quick on my feet. I’m strong and have heavy hands. I’m able to brawl or box.

“It’s basically a normal training camp for me, but with more boxing than ever. I’ve always boxed a lot anyway, so it’s something that’s come natural for me.

“I’m a different fighter than who Leben has fought in BKFC. This sport is so well-suited for me. I just want to brawl. I wasn’t as into the other disciplines in MMA, so when BKFC came around, I was ready to sign on.

“I think I’m going to be a force to be reckoned with at BKFC. I’m going to find a nice home and do work in the ring.”

**DAVID FELDMAN, BKFC Founder & Prezidanto**

“This event is getting the kind of coverage it truly warrants. This is going to be a stacked pay-per-view event from top to bottom.

“The main event here is a highly anticipated battle. This is the biggest bare knuckle fight in history.

“We’re really happy with what we’ve been able to build. If you’ve seen any of our events, you know that it’s non-stop action from the start. We’re proud of what we’ve delivered to fight fans.

“People originally said that Artem had no chance against Paulie, but once they saw Artem in his first BKFC fight, fans can see that this might be tougher than anticipated. This is different than boxing and different than MMA. Getting hit with that bare knuckle is different than anything you’ve experienced before.

“I’m so excited to bring this fight to Florida and bring this fight to their fans. Junio 22 Viva sur salajro-por-vido, this is one you surely do not want to miss.”

**BRIAN RICCO, Executive Producer & Distributor**

“We’re very excited to be on our sixth BKFC show in less than a year. Everything has been amazing. We’re expecting a big fight between two great fighters and we’re looking forward to bringing this event to fight fans around the world.”

Lightweight Keyshawn Davis preparing to go gold digging next year in Japan at 2020 Olympics

Majo 22, 2019 FNU47 Lasi rimarkon

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Majo 20, 2019) – Team USA lightweight Keyshawn Davis has been preparing all of his young life to represent his country in the Olympics. If everything goes as planned and remains on schedule, the Norfolk, Virginia native will be boxing for gold next year in Japan.

The 20-year-old Davis, who sports a 110-15 Amatora rekordo, is racking up medals at such a torrid pace that he desperately needs to expand his display case. He is a two-time Elite National (2017-18) and two-time National PAL (2013-14) Senegala, as well as a gold medalist at the 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier, 2017 Youth Open and 2017 Naciaj Oraj Gantoj.

Internationally, he’s done some serious damage, Tro. The highlight of his amateur career, to date, is winning gold at last year’s Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria. Davis recently captured silver at the 2019 Pan-American Games Qualifier in Nicaragua, in addition to the 2018 Chemistry Cup in Germany.

“I won my first International gold medal in Bulgaria,” Davis agreed with it being the highlight of his amateur career. “I was also selected as the Most Outstanding Boxer.”

His victory at the 2018 USA Nationals qualified him for the 2020 Olympic Trials for Boxing, while his silver at the Pan American Games Qualifier qualified him for the Pan American Games (July 27-August 2) in Lima, Peru. This year he will also be competing at the Elite Men’s World Championships (Sept. 7-21) in Yekaterinburg, Rusio.

“Qualifying for the Olympic Trials really wasn’t much of an accomplishment for me because it was expected,” Davis noted. “For me it was to get on Team USA, again and this is my second year on the team.

“There’s no real competition for me to qualify for the USA Olympic Boxing Team. My last fight in The Nationals was a little bit of a challenge (#Kontra?. **Dalis Kaleiopu**), because I slipped and got up.”

At the Pan American Games, Davis could very well face the Cuban boxer who defeated him by a score of 3-2 at the Pan American Games Qualifier, **Andy Cruz**, setting up a possible rubber match between the two elite boxers next year at the Olympic Games.

“There’s a very good chance we’ll fight again at the Pan-Am Games, most likely in Japan, #Anka?,” Davis added. “We have to win two rounds to qualify for the finals and for me to get my revenge. Cruz has a lot more International experience than I do. Li’s 26 years old and World Champion in our weight class.”

Davis started boxing when he was nine when, tired of Keyshawn and his two brothers fighting each other and in school, his mother asked if they wanted to go to the gym to learn how to box. They did and today, his older (Kelvino) and younger (Keon) brothers are also amateur boxers.

Not long after that he met **Troy Isley**, who is a fellow member of Team USA, and today they’re as close as brothers.

“I met Troy way back, after I first started boxing,” Davis remembered. “We’d meet up at the Nationals and other tournaments and hang together with my brothers. My coach retired, so I went to Troy’s gym (Aleksandrio, VA) and started working with Coach **Kay** (**Koroma**, USA Assistant National Boxing Coach). We’re getting close to our dream (representing the USA in the Olympics) that started so long ago that it seems unreal to be getting close. You can expect two boxers from Virginia to come back from Japan with gold medals. We’re like brothers.”

“Coach Kay first cornered me when I was 13. He’s a great coach who wants us to succeed in life, not just in the ring. He wants the best for us. We have one of the best U.S. boxing teams in a long time and it’s going to show in Japan. We always help each other out and this is a very exciting time for us right now.”

Another close friend of Keyshawn’s is, 2018 Olimpika #ar?enta medalulo **Shakur Stevenson**, who has been through what Keyshawn is approaching, and is now at the level as a professional prospect in which Davis aspires to reach.

“Shakur has always supported me,” Davis continued. “We talk a lot. Honeste, it’s hard for me not to think about turning pro, because my amateur career will be over after the Olympics. I’ve always been taught to have a plan, so I’ve been preparing, business-wise, looking into my options (manager and promoter), and to stay on the right track from the amateurs to pros.”

If he wasn’t a boxer, Davis figures he’d be a realtor, but he’s thoroughly enjoying the life as a boxer.

“This has been a great experience,” Davis spoke about his amateur boxing career, “especially this year getting ready for the Pan AMs. I’ve had opportunities to travel and meet people, but the best part is being part of a team like this. Boxing is an individual sport but, Ekster la ringo, we’re always pushing hard for each other.

“I thank God every day when I get up for putting me in this position. All I want to do is provide for me and my family. At my age, I’m ahead of the game.”

Plus, the finals of the BKFC Lightweight Tournament will pit **Reggie Barnett** Kontraŭ **Johnny bedford** in a showdown for the BKFC Lightweight Championship.

“Coming off of our epic battle on April 6 between Artem Lobov and Jason Knight, the momentum is incredible coming into BKFC 6,” said BKFC Founder and President David Feldman. “With the feud that Paulie and Artem have already, this promises to be super exciting. This is bare knuckle and everything changes when they fight bare knuckle. Tiel, whatever plans you have can go out the window quickly. That’s what makes this so exciting and why I am so excited for this fight. I think we will have a lot of eyes on this event and we are very happy to be hosting this in Tampa, one of the best fight markets in the country. I truly can’t wait for June 22.”

Malignaggi vs. Lobov will see the much-discussed rivalry between Malignaggi and MMA star Conor McGregor come to a head when Malignaggi squares off against one of McGregor’s teammates and friends in Lobov. Prior to Lobov’s BKFC debut in which he defeated Jason Knight in April, Malignaggi and Lobov exchanged words and nearly came to blows at a media day in New York. With the June 22 fight date set and buzz continuing to grow, they will soon settle the conflict in the ring.

“I’m very excited to make my BKFC debut and for this fight to take place in Florida. Bringing BKFC to another state is only going to help this sport grow faster and attract more attention to bare knuckle fighting,” said Malignaggi. “It’s no secret, Artem and I have some bad blood between us. I don’t like him and I’m looking forward to sinking my fists into his face. Junio 22 Povas’t venita #balda? #sufi?a. Fans are going to really enjoy this one as the biggest BKFC card yet, and it’ll set the stage for even bigger and better events as more fighters realize that they can make a good living and have a great career in this discipline of combat sports.”

“I’m really looking forward to this fight,” said Lobov. “Paulie has been doing a lot of talking. He hasn’t been able to keep his mouth shut, but on June 22 I’m going to silence him. He’s an old boxer who’s coming off of the couch. He’s only doing this because he didn’t manage his money better, so now he has to take a fight against me, ‘The Russian Hammer.’ I expect to maul Paulie in there. He doesn’t know what he’s in for. I’m going to introduce him to some things that he’s never seen before and this is going to be a real fight.”

A two-time, two-division boxing champion, Malignaggi joined BKFC earlier this year and plans to show off the skills that made him a world champion at 147 kaj 140-funtoj. Representing his hometown of Brooklyn, Nov-Jorko, Malignaggi faced top competition and big stars such as Miguel Cotto, Zab Judah, Ricky Hatton, Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia, Amir Khan and more throughout a career that spanned sixteen years. He put on title-winning performances against Lovemore Ndou and Vyacheslav Senchenko while also defeating Judah, Juan Diaz and Pablo Cesar Cano amongst his notable wins. He has not fought since 2017, but remains a staple of the of the combat sports world through his renowned work as a color commentator and analyst.

A 32-year-old fighter from Russia, Lobov defeated Jason Knight by unanimous decision in an exciting brawl to make his BKFC debut successful in April. Lobov made his name on Season 22 De *La Finfina Batalanto* as part of Team McGregor, where he worked his way to the finals of the tournament before losing to Ryan Hall.

Roy Jones, Jr. protégé Ikram Kerwat 1st female boxer to headline on UFC FIGHT PASS

Majo 22, 2019 FNU47 Lasi rimarkon

***BOUTS WILL STREAM LIVE ON UFC FIGHT PASS® THIS***
***THURSDAY NIGHT FROM CASINO DEL SOL IN TUCSON, ARIZONA***
***AT 10 P.M. E.T. / 7 P.M. P.T.***

TUCSON, Arizono (Majo 22, 2019) – Tunisia native and mother of two, **Ikram Kerwat**, headlines this Thursday evening for her first time in the initial female main event streamed on RJJ Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS®, Komencanta #?e 10 P.M. ET / 7 P.M. PT, live from Casino Del Sol’s outdoor AVA Amphitheater in Tucson, Arizono.

Kerwat (9-1, 5 KOs), fighting out of Frankfurt, Germanio, throws-down with 9-time world title challengerSimone DaSilva (15-12, 6 KOs), de Brazilo, in the 10-round main event for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) female super featherweight championship.

***Kerwat vs. DaSilva*** is presented by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions and Kerwat is trained by living legend and 10-time world championRoy Jones, Jr.

“Ikram is an exciting fighter with awesome power and good hand speed,” Jones evaluated his protege. “She’s always looking to improve, and I look forward to her next voyage towards a world title.”

The 35-year-old Kerwat is a former WBC International female lightweight champion, who will be fighting in the United States for the fourth time as a pro boxer. “Fighting in the U.S. was always one of my biggest dreams,” she commented. “It’s amazing. I already have a fanbase and they are really awesome. I like the enthusiasm and positive energy of U.S. Homoj.

“This is my first main event and I can’t wait to step into the ring. To be live streamed on UFC FIGHT PASS is very important to me, my fans and, Nature, mia familio. My last fight was also live streamed on FIGHT PASS and it was amazing. I’m happy and thankful for that.

“I want to give a big shout out to my family and my coach and promoter, Roy Jones, Jr., his wonderful wife, **Natlyn Jones**, Kaj, Nature, the RJJ Promotions team for this opportunity and their kindness.”

(L-R) Ikram Kerwat & Roy Jones, Jr.

Profesia pro tio ke 2015, Kerwat first met Jones at the WBC Convention three years ago in Miami. “It’s an honor for me to lean from a legendary boxer like Roy,” she added. “He’s a boxing guru! Before I met Roy, I was a brawler, more of an aggressive fighter. Nun, I’d say I learned to skillfully box. I’ve made a lot of improvements and I developed more, boxing-wise. I grew mentally, which is the most important part in boxing and life.”

Da Silva may have fought in nine world titles fights, but Ikram doesn’t feel that she’s at a disadvantage because of her opponent’s edge in quality experience. “My opponent is experienced, but this means nothing to me,” she remarked. “I fear nobody, but I respect all boxers who step in the ring. I do not underestimate anyone, nothing more, and nothing less. I don’t look at her, I look at myself. This is only thing I have control over. I do my job, live my dream, and I have fun doing it. I enjoy every single minute of it. This next step is very important for us. Every single fight brings me a step closer to my goal, which means that every single fight is significant for my career. Fights like this even more so.”

Although she had only three amateur matches, including a gold medal performance in the Berlin Championships and taking bronze in the German Championships, Ikram is positioning herself for a world title fight in the not too distant future, assuming she gets past Da Silva.

**BROOKLYN** (Majo 19, 2019) – WBC Superpezula Monda #?ampiono **Deontay “La Bronza Bombisto” Pli #sova?a** liveris la 40^Th knokaŭto de sia kariero en giganta modo sabatvespere, sendante devigan kontestanton **Dominic “Problemo” Breazeale**plata sur la dorso kun varmarko dekstra antaŭ raŭka homamaso en Barclays Centro, la hejmo de BROOKLYN boksado ™, en evento prezentita de ĉefaj boksaj ĉampionoj. Sukcese defendante sian zonon la naŭan fojon, Wilder aliĝas al glora firmao kune kun Hall of Famers Joe Louis, Mahometo Ali, Mike Tyson kaj pli kaj iĝas la 10-a batalanto en historio por fari naŭ aŭ pli sinsekvajn sukcesajn pezegultitoldefendojn.. Rigardu TIE: Https://s.sho.com/2Hp0AEh

En la amasiĝo al la ĉi-vespere mondĉampiona batalo, Pli #sova?a (41-0-1, 40 KOs) plurfoje promesis, ke la batalo ne daŭros longe. La altega Tuscaloosa, Ala. indiĝeno plenumis sian vorton, notante la 20^Th unua ronda knokaŭto de lia kariero kaj lia 15^Th knockdown kiel pezegulo mondĉampiono. Breazeale (20-2, 18 KOs) povis elteni la unuan fruan atakon de Wilder, sed ne povis venki la 10-kalkulon de arbitraciisto Harvey Dock kiam Wilder konektis fluan kun la plej danĝera dekstra en boksado poste en la malfermaĵrondo..

“Ĉio ĵus eliris el mi ĉi-vespere”, Said Wilder. “Mi scias, ke ĝi estis granda amasiĝo, estis multe da malamikeco kaj multaj vortoj kiuj estis diritaj kaj ĝi ĵus eliris el mi ĉi-vespere. Tio estas kio faras boksadon tiel bonega.

“Mi ĵus diris al Breazeale, ke mi amas lin kaj kompreneble mi volas vidi lin iri hejmen al sia familio. Mi scias, ke ni diras kelkajn aferojn, sed kiam vi povas batali kontraŭ viro kaj tiam vi povas brakumi kaj kisi lin, Mi deziras, ke la mondo estu tia. Ni manpremas kaj ni vivas por vidi alian tagon kaj pri tio temas.”

Ĉar la atento de la peza divido turniĝas al kio sekvas, Wilder insistas ke batalo kun Tyson Fury, la solan homon, kiun li alfrontis kaj ne venkis, aŭ Anthony Joshua restas sur la tablo kaj en la laboroj.

“Mi komprenas kion Fury faris,” Said Wilder. “Kiam vi estas faligita sur la tolon tiel, mi komprenas, ke vi devas rekunigi vin. Sed la revanĉo okazos, kiel ĉiuj ĉi tiuj aliaj bataloj okazos. La bonega afero estas ĉiuj ĉi tiuj bataloj maloftaj en diskuto. La grandaj bataloj okazos. Mi nur volas, ke vi havu paciencon.”

Breazeale, kies nur du malvenkoj nun venis kontraŭ kaj Wilder kaj Josuo, estis seniluziigita li ne estis permesita daŭrigi la batalon.

“Mi pensas, ke la refulo haltigis ĝin iom frue, ĉar mi povis aŭdi lin diri sep kaj ok, sed tio estas boksado,” Dirita Breazeale. “Li faris sian laboron kaj konservis nin sekuraj por nia venonta batalo.

“Mi stariĝis kaj havis miajn krurojn sub mi. Ĝi estas la peza divido, do iras al grandaj pafoj de uloj kun potenco. Ĉi tio estis situacio, kie li atingis la grandan dekstran manon antaŭ ol mi. Mi pensis, ke mi venos en la postaj ĉirkaŭvojoj. Mi revenos kaj iros por la peza titolo denove.”

En la co-#?efa?o, Mondĉampiono de WBC Lanuga Peza **Gary Russell Jr.** (30-1, 18 KOs) surmetis ankoraŭ alian profesian elmontron por defendi sian zonon la kvaran fojon kontraŭ kuraĝa **Kiko Martinez** (39-9-2, 28 KOs). Pro fendo kiu malfermiĝis super la maldekstra okulo de Martinez, arbitraciisto Ricky Gonzalez ĉesigis la batalon en la kvina raŭndo laŭ la konsilo de la ringbordkuracisto, rezultigante teknikan knokaŭton.

Russell, kiu batalis unuafoje en jaro, montris neniujn signojn de ringa rusto kaj elmontris sian plenan lertecon inkluzive de siaj varmarkaj fulmaj rapidaj manoj. La 30-jaraĝa Capitol Heights, Md. indiĝeno estis domina de la malferma sonorilo kaj alteriĝis sur rimarkinda 40% Lia potenco stampiloj. En tute-aga batalo kun malmulte da malfunkcio, Martinez faris pli ol sufiĉe por ludi sian rolon. La hispano konstante venis antaŭen, sed Russell daŭre celis la tranĉon, kiu malfermiĝis super lia okulo post dekstra hoko en la dua raŭndo.. La ringflankoficialulo postulis la ĉesigo de la batalo ĉe 2:52 de ronda numero kvin.

“Mi faris sufiĉe bone,” Diris la 2008 Usono. Olimpikulo Russell al SHOWTIME-raportisto Jim Gray. “Ni restis malantaŭ la piko kaj li ne povis preterpasi ĝin. Ni sciis, ke intelekto super atletiko faros ĝin.

“Ni volas [WBA Featherweight Champion] Leo Santa Cruz,” Russell daŭrigis portante ĉemizon kiu legis "Leo Next". “Ni volas fari ĉi tiun batalon okazi. La fajro estas tute varma ĉi-flanke de la kampo. Vi estos bruligita. Mi ŝatus ke tiu batalo okazu ĉi-jare. Ni faru ĝin okazi.”

“Ĝi estis bona halto por tre dura batalo,” diris la eksa mondĉampiono Martinez. “Mi certe estas vida batalanto do la tranĉo malfaciligis ĝin. Gary estis en bonega fizika kondiĉo kaj ĝi estis tre malfacila batalo.

“Mi nun iom ripozos, sed mi revenos. Mi pensis, ke mi havis kelkajn bonajn momentojn kaj havis bonan dividadon. Mi pensas, ke mi falos reen al 122-funtoj por gajni mondan titolon tie.”

En la teleelsenda malfermilo, Undefeated perspektivo **Juan Heraldez** (16-0-1, 10 KOs) kaj iama mondĉampiono **Argenis Mendez** (25-5-2, 12 KOs) batalis al tre konkurenciva plimulta remizo. Du juĝistoj gajnis la batalon 95-95, dum triono havis Mendez venkanta 97-93.

Batalante antaŭ sia mentoro Floyd Mayweather, Las Vegas’ Heraldez kontrolis multajn el la fruaj preterpasas fiksante la rapidecon kaj establante sian pikon. Heroldez ekstermis Mendez 126-108 en tutaj pugnobatoj kaj 70-30 en pikoj tra la 10 Rondoj. Malfrui frue, Mendez, sperta veterano kaj 2004 Dominika Respubliko Olimpiko, uzis sian sperton por kreski reen en la batalon. La takto reprenis en la kvina raŭndo, ĉar ambaŭ batalantoj akiris plurajn pezajn batojn sed la impeto ŝanĝiĝis direkte al Mendez. La 32-jara Mendez, kiu kontraŭbatalis sep nunajn aŭ iamajn ĉampionojn, fermis la batalon escepte forta, gajnante la finan raŭndon sur ĉiuj tri juĝistoj’ scorecards. Sen fari tion, Mendez perdintus la batalon.

“Mi pensis min gajnis la batalon,” diris seniluziigita Mendez. “Li faris nenion al mi. Kiel li gajnis la batalon? Se mi devas pruvi, ke mi venkis lin en revanĉo, I’ll esti preta. Mi ne lasos ĝin al la juĝistoj.

“Mia rapideco kaj mia potenco malfaciligis al li. Mi pensis, ke mia kontraŭpunado estas vere bona. Li laciĝis al la postaj ĉirkaŭvojoj kaj tio lasis min proksimiĝi iom al li por ekigi mian ofendon.”

simile, Heraldez opiniis ke li faris sufiĉen por venki en la batalo kiun li rigardis kiel ebla elirpartio.

“Mi pensis, ke mi gajnis proksiman decidon,” Heroldez diris. “Mi ne pensis, ke ĝi estas remizo. Li faris nenion, kio dolorigis min iam ajn.

“Li ne vere okupiĝis kun mi. Li nur provis moviĝi kaj elekti siajn pafojn, sed ĝi ne estis io por kio mi ne estis preta. Mi aŭ prenos la revanĉon kun Mendez aŭ antaŭeniros al mia celo de mondĉampioneco.”

Antaŭ la televidelsendo, SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN prezentis tri subkartajn altirojn elsenditajn vive sur la sociaj platformoj de SHOWTIME Sports. Batalo inter pezeguloj **robert alfonso** (18-0-1, 8 KOs) Kaj **Iago Kiladze** (26-4-1, 18 KOs) finiĝis en disigo post ok raŭndoas de ago. Dum unu juĝisto gajnis la batalon 77-75 por Alfonso, alia havis ĝin 77-75 por Kiladze, kun la tria juĝisto gajnante ĝin 76-76, rezultigante la remizo.

WOMEN’S MMA FLYWEIGHT TITLE IS UP FOR GRABS AT NEF 39

Majo 19, 2019 FNU47 Lasi rimarkon

PRO TIO KE TUJA ELKARCERIGO: Lewiston, Majno (Majo 17, 2019) ?? Novaj Angliaj Bataloj (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Saturday, Junio 22 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN.” Pli frue hodiaŭ, the fight promotion announced the addition of a women’s amateur title fight to the card. Glory Watson (4-0) estas planita alfronti Caree Hill (4-1) for the vacant NEF Women’s Amateur Flyweight Title. The bout will be presented by NEF in conjunction with Queen MMA Media.

Undefeated Glory Watson will look to continue her winning ways in the NEF cage and, in doing so, make history as the promotion’s first women’s 125-pound titleholder. In 2018, she was the runner up for “Rookie of the Year” as voted by NEF fans. Earlier this year, Watson submitted a very tough Rachael Lippert (4-3) #?E “NEF 37.” She followed up that performance with a unanimous decision victory this spring on a fight card in Massachusetts. Watson represents Young’s MMA based in Bangor, Majno.

“I am looking forward to stepping up and attempting to earn the 125 titolo,” said Watson. “Caree Hill is a good opponent, and will present a new set of challenges for me as a fighter. This fight, Gajno #a? perdi, will test my skill and my heart. My time in the amateur ranks may be limited, so I plan to work my way to the top.”

Caree Hill will make the 3,000 mile journey across country from Portland, Oregon to face Watson for the strap. After winning her first three amateur fights, Hill took some time off from the cage following her first loss in 2017. She returned late in 2018 with a unanimous decision victory in her most recent bout. Hill holds a win in the cage of national promotion Legacy FC. She represents Team Quest which was founded by MMA pioneers and UFC legends Randy Couture (19-11) and Dan Henderson (32-15). Hill is in good company with Team Quest. The West Coast-based team has produced many of the top names in the sport over the years, including Chael Sonnen (30-16), Nate Quarry (12-4), and the late Evan Tanner (32-8) just to name a few.

“I’m honored for the opportunity to fight for the flyweight championship for New England Fights,” remarked Hill when reached for comment. “I relish the challenge of fighting an undefeated fighter in her own backyard. I never back down from a challenge. This is guaranteed to be an exciting fight.”

The title fight between Watson and Hill joins two other championship contests already announced for the “NEF 39” card. Josh “Hook On” Harvey (6-0-1) is scheduled to defend the professional featherweight title against Jordan Downey (5-4), while Nate Boucher (4-3) will square off with Robert Presley (5-4) for the vacant amateur men’s flyweight belt. Also announced for the card, Jesse “La Viking” Erickson (9-7) faces Lewis Corapi (8-5) in a professional lightweight bout.

“NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN,” will take place on Saturday, Junio 22, 2019 #?E la Androscoggin Banko Colisee en Lewiston, Maine with a bell time of 7 pm. Tickets are on sale now atWww.thecolisee.com.
