Phoenix’s Benavidez (24-0, 21 KO) flashed brilliant hand speed, accuracy and power as he dominated Ellis (18-2-2, 12 KO) Lynn, Mass., cez 11 rounds before referee Johnny Callas finally waved off the fight at 2:03 of the penultimate round. The 24-year-old star held a significant lead on all three scorecards (99-91, 98-92 x2) v čase zastavenia.
“I rate my performance pretty good but I know I could have done better,” said Benavidez, who extended his perfect record to 24-0. “Ronald Ellis is a tough competitor. I just hope the fans like what they saw. I threw a lot of combinations, punches in bunches. There were a lot of times I thought Ellis was going to quit but he didn’t. Hats off to him, je to tvrdý chlap. It was a little later than I wanted but a stoppage is still a stoppage. I hope the fans got a good show tonight.”
A boxing prodigy turned youngest super middleweight world champion in boxing history, Benavidez turned in a masterful performance as evidenced by his punch stats, pristátie 289 na 532 power punches thrown for an eye-popping connection rate of 54%. Benavidez connected on 50 punches in the 11thround which ultimately led to the stoppage. Both fighters combined to throw 1,403 údery. Following his dominating win on SHOWTIME, Benavidez is one step closer to reclaiming a super middleweight world title.
“I want all the big guys,”Dodal Benavidez. “Speaking for the fans too, they would love to see me against all the big guys because as you can see, I love throwing punches. I love stopping people so me versus any big name would be an amazing fight. Chcem [Jermall] Charlo, Canela Alvarez, Caleb Plant, all of them.”
Ellis, 31, showed tremendous determination and a very sturdy chin as he absorbed the constant onslaught from the former two-time world champion. Often working off the ropes as Benavidez pressed the action, Ellis landed 89 z jeho 334 Jabs.
“I could have popped the jab and controlled things a little bit more and not let him smother me,” said Ellis. “Hell yeah I wanted to finish. I didn’t want to give him that satisfaction. I could have moved a little bit more and not taken so many shots to the head. Hats off to him. He did what he had to do. On mi nikdy neublížil, that’s the funny thing. I took a lot of shots but he didn’t damage me or have me super hurt. I never thought about quitting.”
The sports world lost an icon today as the death of Marvelous Marvin Hagler was reported hours before the live telecast began. A member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Hagler, ktorý bol 66 rokov, fought in the first main event ever on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on March 10, 1986. Hagler was honored with a ceremonial 10-count prior to tonight’s main event. Click Here to Watch SHOWTIME’s Tribute to Marvin Hagler
Benavidez reflected on Hagler’s passing after the fight: “I had met Marvin once before and he was a great champion. Someone told me he fought the first fight on SHOWTIME. Someone on my team let me know a few hours before the fight that he had passed. It’s sad and he will be missed. He was a true legend.”
V čo-hlavné udalosti, Isaac Cruz (21-1-1, 15 KO) of Mexico City earned a unanimous decision victory over Argentina’sMatias Romero (24-1, 8 KO) in a 12-round WBA Lightweight Title Eliminator. It marked the first time that the 22-year-old Cruz went 12 rounds in his professional career. The judges’ scorecards read 114-113, 115-112 a 118-109. SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 115-112, giving rounds 10 cez 12 to the rising star.
“I’m not happy about the style of the fight but I am satisfied I took the victory home and we’ve come to the No. 1 spot in the WBA,"Povedal Cruz. “I didn’t know what was going to happen [as far as the judges]. We forced the fight at all times and it would have been very impossible for the judges to do something to me when I was the one pushing the fight.”
Throughout the 36-minute affair, Cruz constantly applied pressure against his opponent which led to Romero, the more seasoned professional, to hold excessively in an attempt to stall the pressure. Despite being warned frequently by referee Harvey Dock, the 24-year-old Romero was never penalized. During the rough-and-tumble contest, však, Cruz was docked a point in the sixth round for a low blow.
“He was a fighter who didn’t want to exchange punches,” Cruz added, in reference to the persistent clinching. “I was very fed up with the clinches—there was never a warning toward him. I did my best out there. Not the best way I wanted to do it but thank God we won the fight and we’re taking the victory home.”
Romero presented an effective jab throughout the fight, pristátie 89 na 282, but it was Cruz’s power punching that ultimately earned him the victory. Cross, who is now the No. 1 contender for a world title shot at 135 libier, pristálo 145 na 459 power údery, počítajúc v to 91 zábery tela.
“Obviously I’m not happy with the decision,” stated Romero following his first professional loss. “I thought maybe it was a draw. Overall I’m happy with my performance. He’s supposed to the be the ‘Pit Bull’ and I went the distance. You have to take the opportunities when they are presented and I wish I would have had more time to get ready for this fight.”
In the evening’s opening bout, Cleveland’sTerrell Gausha (22-2-1, 11 KO) scored an impressive second-round technical knockout over fellow OhioanJamontay Clark (15-2-1, 7 KO) Cincinnati. Gausha, 33, did not land a single power punch in the opening round but worked well behind the jab, winning the round on two of the judges’ scorecards. As the second round neared completion, Gausha beautifully countered a lunging left hand from the southpaw Clark which sent the 26-year-old to the canvas for the first time in his professional career. Clark beat the count but moments later was met by a barrage of unanswered punches in the neutral corner. Referee Arthur Mercante jumped in and called a halt to the bout at 2:44 druhého kola.
“I knew Jamontay was a tough kid, I’ve been watching him since Cleveland so I knew about him already,” said Gausha. “I felt like I had a chance to knock him out but I didn’t know how the fight would play out. But I feel I did good, executed the game plan. My coaches had been studying film and we executed.
“I just took my time,” added Gausha. “I was setting traps. I knew he would be open eventually, but I had to be cautious too because he’s a rangy guy, has a good left hand. But I knew there were holes in his game and we executed and when the opportunity presented itself, we landed that big right hand.”
With his emphatic stoppage win, the 2012 Olympian emerges as a contender for a title shot in the super welterweight division. In his first and only world title shot in 2017, Gausha dropped a unanimous decision to current super welterweight world champion Erislandy Lara.
“I know I made a statement tonight,” added Gausha. “I put the division on notice. I’m locked and loaded and I’m ready. I want to be a world champion so I’m looking to fight whoever I need to fight to get to the belts.”

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klin. (Marec 8, 2021) – In the 2019 USA National Boxing Championships, Amir Andersonwas a relatively unknown competitor from Syracuse (New York), but this year he believes he’s one of the “top dogs” in the 165-pound decision.
Anderson will be competing in the youth division at the 2020 USA Boxerské Národné majstrovstvá, postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic from last December to March 25 Apríl 3, in Shreveport, .
Anderson’s goal at these championships is simple: he wants to win to lock down a slot on the USA Boxing Youth Team, which will give him a leg up in terms of qualifying for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
“The winner in each weight class qualifies for the USA Boxing Youth Team,” he explained. “Runner-ups are alternates and can make the team if the winner can’t for whatever reason. Chcem vyhrať!
“Last time I had nothing to lose at Nationals. Teraz, I have everything to lose. I do my research and breakdown other fighters in my weight class. I’ll be more focused this time because I was an underdog then and now, I’m the top dog in my division.”
The 17-year-old Anderson has already tasted success, capturing top honors at the 2019 Junior Open and 2019 Eastern Regional Open, in addition to finishing in the runner-up position at the 2018 & 2019 National Junior Olympics.
Still a high school senior, Amir describes himself as an all-around boxer with a unique style in which he can box or bang, hit the angles and throw a lot of punches.
Like every amateur boxer, last year was a tremendous challenge to train, due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. “I trained six hours a day in my basement to get in really good workouts,” Anderson said. “And I ran my miles, tiež. When my gym opened-up last July 2nd, it was limited so I had to still workout in my basement. It was hard to stay focused, but I knew how.
“I really planned to win a lot of regional and national tournaments to get national recognition. I wanted to fight in Bulgaria with the junior team, but that was canceled, tiež. The pandemic was a setback for me, but we’ll see what’s in store for 2021.”
The National Championships is the first trip towards Amir Anderson’s Parisian goal for 2024 at the Olympics.

Netypicky, 25-ročný Shields sa začiatkom tohto zápasu stal kontrapunkerom, vyrovnať pokusy Dicaire odraziť sa do a z dosahu. Spoliehanie sa na jej reflexy potrestá akýkoľvek pokus o agresiu Dicaire, Shields vypol Kanaďana a potom sa v zápase opäť vrátil k svojej obvyklej agresii.
Dicaire pristál kvalitnou južnou labkou, ktorá zostala na Shields v štvrtom kole, možno jej jediná významná rana boja, a Shields to jednoducho bezvýsledne striaslo.
Nemôžem sa hnevať na svoj výkon,“Povedal Shields po zápase. "Stále ma lakte a tĺkla hlavou.". Snažil som sa o knokaut a takmer som ho mal párkrát, ale máme dve minúty a rozhodca to nerozbije, keď ma drží a lakte. Som šťastná, ale stále som chcela vyradenie. Len som nemal dosť času. Koniec koncov, Som nový nespochybniteľný šampión v 154 a prvý boxer, ktorý má byť nespochybniteľným šampiónom dvakrát. “
Shields povedala, že je šťastná, že svoj najnovší kúsok histórie dokončila pred svojou rodinou a priateľmi vo Flint, aj keby pandémia znamenala oveľa menej prítomných fanúšikov.
"S Covidom.", nemohli by sme mať plnú kapacitu. Tu sú 300 tu a to je kapacita dňa, takže máme plný dom. Nemohli sme mať plnú kapacitu, ale viem, či by sme mohli mať, mali by sme 6000 ľudia tu. Som rád, že som to tu mohol urobiť (vo Flinte). Začal som boxovať tu v Berston Fieldhouse o 11 rokov. Nikdy za milión rokov som si nemyslel, že budem na pay-per-view a budem bojovať za nespochybniteľný titul a budem jednou z najväčších hviezd v boxe. Chcel som len získať zlatú olympijskú medailu. Boh mi dal dve olympijské medaily. Mám 12 majstrovske opasky hned. Nepripadá mi reálne dvakrát povedať nespochybniteľné. ““
Keď sa ju pýtali na dve z jej zvyšných súperiek v boxe, kolega z Írska Katie Taylor a jej jednorazová dobyvateľka medzi amatérmi, Savannah Marshall zo Spojeného kráľovstva, Štíty preplnené sebadôverou.
"Katie Taylor si nerobí starosti.". 147 libier je. Budú mi musieť veľa zaplatiť, aby som stratil zadok a išiel dolu 147. Koniec koncov, Som žena. Nemám veľké prsia, ale dostal som pekný zadok, tak poď s tým cestom a budem tam. Minimálne milión a budem tam.
"Savannah Marshall so mnou nemôže byť ***.". Poďme udržať skutočný. Savannah Marshall, vyhrali ste šťastné rozhodnutie, keď sme boli deti. Olympiádu organizoval aj Londýn. Ak sa chceš chváliť tým, že ma biješ 14 body na 8 ... no tak. A potom som sa stal majstrom sveta v troch rôznych divíziách a ona sa zlomila. Vie, že so mnou nemôže a nikdy nebude schopná. Môže prísť do Ameriky. Pojdem do UK. Môžeme ísť do Mexika. Môžeme ísť kamkoľvek, a ja ju budem f ***. Ona to vie. Bojí sa ma. Savannah Marshall to môže získať. Povedzte to Eddiem Hearnovi, prišiel ten buchot 250K. Povedzte mu, aby prišiel s 500 000… 750 000, ak chce, aby som šiel do Veľkej Británie a fajčil jeho dievča. Zaplať mi."
Dicaire pokračovala vo svojej láskavosti v otázkach po boji a sľúbila, že nenechá prehru utlmiť jej budúcnosť v športe.
"Myslím, že Claressa dnes večer odviedla dobrú prácu.",”Povedal Dicaire. "Dnes večer.", bola najlepšia. Niekedy vyhráte a niekedy sa naučíte. Dnes večer, učil som sa. Myslím si, že to mi len umožní posilniť sa. Nezaškrtávam, aby som chránil svoj záznam alebo aby som na ňom neuchovával svoj záznam 0 straty. Boxujem, aby som porazil šampiónov. Dnes večer, Mal som šancu bojovať so skutočným šampiónom. Tentokrát vyhrala, ale rátajte s tým, že sa vrátim do posilňovne a budem tvrdo pracovať a určite budem opäť majsterkou sveta.

"Joe mi dal moju prezývku.", „Quiet Storm.“ Yuri je skutočný majster sveta. V podstate som odnikiaľ neprišiel zdieľať prsteň s majstrom sveta. To, čo robíme, je to, o čom je box. Nejde o vek; on je 40 a mám 34. Vek nič neznamená. Nie som špičkový pes, asi preto mi ponúkli boj, ale som skutočný bojovník, ktorý bude bojovať so svetovým šampiónom. Toto je môj boj o svetový titul! Výhra, prehrať, alebo kresliť, Budem bojovať proti majstrovi sveta. Z nikoho sa nebojím. Nejde o peniaze, to som ja, a vždy sa postavím k výzve. Bude to veľký boj. “
Williams (16-5-2, 5 KO) je hrdý na to, že je jedným zo vzácnych futbalistov, ktorí uspeli v boxe. Bol vynikajúcim rohovníkom na štátnej univerzite v južnom Connecticute a bol pozvaný do niekoľkých skúšobných táborov NFL. Priblížil sa k rezu s vtedajšími Oakland Raiders.
"Vždy som bol jadrom boxera.",”Povedal Williams, „Takže futbal bol pre mňa ľahký. Bolo úžasné prijímať hovory od NFL skautov. Odišiel som od futbalu za boxom. Som bývalá divízia 2 vysokoškolský futbalista bojujúci s majstrom sveta. Vedel som, kedy je čas odísť z futbalu, ale ešte nie som pripravený odísť z boxu. Nemusím škatuľkovať. Som vzdelaný, pracovať v komunite, a som otec. Som požehnaný, že môžem boxovať a budem vedieť, kedy je čas zložiť rukavice. “
Williams boxoval až po svojej matke, Belinda, bol zavraždený v 2008 a jej prípad zostáva nevyriešený. Pre rakovinu stratil otca.
"Tento boj o Jimmyho je zďaleka najväčší v jeho kariére.",”Manažér WilliamsuRyan Roach (Fighter Locker) poznamenal. "Je nevyhnutné vyhrať ho, aby sa vrátil do starých koľají." Vie, čo musí urobiť. Presunul sa do Veloz Boxu na Rhode Island a je to iný bojovník ako v posledných dvoch zápasoch. Práve som okolo „Boo Boo“ (majster svetaSkromný Andrade) a tí chlapci tam majú Jimmyho, kde musí byť pre tento boj. “
Williams bol povýšenýJimmy BurchfieldKlasická zábava a šport (CES) odkedy sa stal v roku 2013 profesionálom.
"Máme blízky vzťah.",“Poznamenal Burchfield. "Otočil som ho k profíkovi.", párkrát ho dostal do celoštátnej televízie, a dokonca sa zúčastnil jeho svadby. Som na neho veľmi hrdý. Bol nesmierne lojálny k CES, ako aj my k nemu. Toto je skvelá príležitosť. Neváhal ani minútu, aby sa zapojil do tohto boja. Má nového trénera, Brian Johnson, a Jimmy jazdil tam a späť z New Haven do Providence, aby trénoval. Myslím si, že je v najlepšej forme svojho života, pretože vie o dôležitosti tohto boja. Zaslúži si mať túto príležitosť.
Niečo zvláštne na jeho dnešnom boji proti Foremanovi pre Williamsa, africký Američan, bojuje na tomto mieste (Kentucky Center for African Americans) v rodnom meste svojho hrdinu,Muhammad Ali.
"Vzdávam hold všetkým ľuďom, ktorí prežili môj sen.",”Poznamenal Williams. "To je to, čo reprezentujem." Za posledný rok sme stratili veľa ľudí. Boje v Louisville sú pre mňa veľké, pretože sú domovom filmu „The Greatest“,‘Muhammad Ali. Pozerám sa na Aliho viac kvôli jeho postave a tomu, za čím stál, ako kvôli boxu. Za niečím stál a kvôli tomu stratil vrchol svojej kariéry. Snažím sa byť ako on z hľadiska toho, aký som. Dal mi dôveru v to, kým v živote chcem byť. Čítal som o ňom každú knihu. Odmietam sa vzdať ako Ali. Som bojovník s návratom. “
