CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING RETURNS TO PRIMETIME ON CBS WITH PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS BLOCKBUSTER
LIVE ON CBS 8:30 P.m. И/5:30 P.m. PT
СНИМКИ by Esther Lin/SHOWTIME:
NEW YORK – Януари 23, 2016 - WBA Welterweight World Champion Keith “One Time” Thurman will defend his title against former champ “Showtime” Shawn Porter in a blockbuster matchup of two of the world’s best 147-pound fighters on Събота, Март 12 на ШОУ ВРЕМЕ БОКС НА CBS.
The welterweight showdown will air live on CBS at 8:30 p.m. И / 5:30 p.m. PT from Mohegan Sun Casino Resort in Uncasville, Connecticut. Събитието, promoted by DiBella Entertainment, is produced by SHOWTIME Sports® за телевизионната мрежа на CBS, both divisions of the CBS Corporation. The last primetime boxing event on CBS was Muhammad Ali-Leon Spinks on Feb. 15, 1978.
Търман (26-0, 22 Нокаута), of Clearwater, Fla., and Porter (26-1-1, 16 Нокаута), of Las Vegas by way of Akron, Ohio, are both coming off superb 2015 campaigns that solidified the fresh faces among the elite of arguably boxing’s most exciting division. With perennial pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather now retired, the 27-year-old Thurman and the 28-year-old Porter are hungry to stake their claim as the future of boxing.
“Thurman vs. Porter is a marquee matchup of two elite boxers in the prime of their careers, and the winner will establish himself as arguably the No. 1 fighter in boxing’s glamour division,"Казва Стивън Еспиноза, Изпълнителен вицепрезидент и генерален мениджър, Шоу Спорт. “Fights of this caliber don’t come along very often, и когато го правят, they deserve to be on the biggest stage possible. That’s why all of us at SHOWTIME and CBS are so excited to be able to deliver this pivotal matchup to a primetime audience on America’s highest-rated network.”
“Last year was an amazing year for me: I headlined the very first Premier Boxing Champions show and was named PBC Fighter of the Year,” Thurman said. “But this is my year to dominate the welterweight division and I’m excited to be getting ready to take out Shawn Porter. I am ready to get back in the ring and bring boxing fans what they’ve been looking for – the top true welterweight champion of the world, the one who is going to take out all competitors one by one. I am Keith ‘One-Time’ Thurman and I’m going to show you what a champion looks like on Март 12."
“I’m very confident in my ability. That’s why I’ve been looking forward to this fight because I’m someone who can beat Keith Thurman,” Porter said. “Nothing about Keith really makes me nervous. I do know that he’s going to be ready for this fight. He’s a fighter that has the heart of a lion just like I do. I expect this to be a fight to the finish. A win over Keith Thurman is what we’ve been waiting for.”
“Keith Thurman against Shawn Porter is one of the best matchups that can be made in the welterweight division right now and I am thrilled that it is taking place at Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Conn.,” каза Лу DiBella, Президентът на DiBella Entertainment. “The hard-punching world titleholder Thurman and the highly skilled former champion Porter will have the opportunity to prove that they are the next heir to the throne in the post-Mayweather era of the 147 паунд дивизия.”
“One Time” Thurman, who owns a better than 80 percent KO ratio and knocked out 18 на първата си 20 опоненти, is considered one of the most avoided fighters in boxing. After unsuccessfully lobbying to fight the best of the division for the past two years, Thurman finally had a breakout 2015.
The hard-hitting Florida native floored former champion and long-time contender Robert Guerrero en route to a convincing 12тата round unanimous last March in Las Vegas. He then dominated and bloodied former champ Luis Collazo on Юли 11, winning via seventh round TKO. Thurman won the Interim WBA belt with a knockout of Diego Chaves in 2013 and scored consecutive knockouts over Jesus Soto Karass (2013) and Julio Diaz (2014) in his first and second title defenses.
Срещу Портър, Thurman will now get a chance to prove what he’s been claiming for years – that he’s the world’s best welterweight – in the toughest test of his career.
“Showtime” Porter has built one of the most impressive resumes in the division since making his welterweight debut in 2010. Износване, who surprisingly turned professional as a super middleweight (168 паунда), won the IBF crown in 2013 with an impressive unanimous decision over Devon Alexander.
The physically-gifted and offensive-minded Ohio native knocked out former two-division world champion Paulie Malignaggi with a brutal clean right hand in April of 2014 in the lone defense of his title. Porter lost the IBF belt less than four months after the Malignaggi victory in a close majority decision defeat to undefeated British superstar Kell Brook, but he bounced back with a fifth-round knockout of Erick Bone in March of 2015. Porter scored what many considered an upset victory in his next bout over then three-division world champion Adrien Broner with a clear unanimous decision last Юни 20 в Лас Вегас.
The aggressive, come-forward Porter has built his career as a perennial underdog who relishes in the role. Но, with the resume he has built, it’s hard to consider him an underdog anymore heading into this crossroads showdown with Thurman.

TUCSON, Аризона. (Jan. 22, 2016) – Undefeated middleweight prospect Rob Brant scored the most impressive victory of his career with a fourth-round knockout of Decarlo Perez in the main event of ShoBox: Новото поколение, живеят на SHOWTIME в петък from Casino Del Sol in Tucson, Аризона. VIDEO HIGHLIGHT: http://s.sho.com/1QqySWm
Known more for his boxing prowess, Брант (19-0, 12 Нокаута) displayed impressive power. After a big first round, in which he threw 97 punches and more of the same in the second, Brant floored Perez with a straight-right shot midway through the third.
The Minnesota native kept on the gas in the fourth and landed another straight right that sent Perez falling straight back partially through the ropes. Перес (15-4-1, 5 Нокаута) awkwardly landed back into the ring and referee Rocky Burke instantly ended the fight at :39.
“The game plan was to be aggressive,” Brant said. “We knew we wanted to show him our power early and make him respect us right away. When I caught him with the right on the temple in the third I knew we had him. And then when I connected in the fourth it was lights out, game over. I just want to get back in the ring as soon as possible and continue making progress.”
Перес, who entered the fight coming off an impressive win over previously undefeated Juan Ubaldo Cabrera last August on ShoBox, said he just got caught with a good shot.
“I just got caught,” Perez said. That’s all that happened. I didn’t see the shot coming and he was speedier than I thought. He’s fast and he got me with something I wasn’t ready for.”
SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood was surprised by Brant’s performance.
“Brant showed a dimension we hadn’t seen before,- каза Фардъри. “He’s thinking man’s fighter who fought an angry fight. И, as result of that, you have to put him near the very top of the list of middleweight prospects.”
Undefeated heavyweight prospect Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller floored Donovan Dennis twice in a thoroughly dominating seventh round TKO (2:31) в ShoBox ко-функция.
Мелничар (16-0-1, 14 Нокаута), who went past the sixth round for the first time in his career, поземлен 52 процента на Неговата сила снимки. The Brooklyn native scored two knockdowns in the first round – the first with a devastating looping right, the second with a straight to the chest – and had Dennis nearly out on his feet in what looked like a certain first-round finish.
The southpaw Dennis (14-4, 11 Нокаута) somehow survived the round and actually pushed Miller into uncharted waters. Dennis had some moments where he out boxed his opponent, but Miller’s power and size – a 56 pound weight advantage – was the deciding difference. Dennis was breathing through his mouth and gasping for air when referee Tony Zaino wisely halted the contest as “Big Baby” teed-off on his defenseless opponent.
“I had him out in the first round, but I threw my shoulder out throwing a left hook,” Miller said. “I was looking for the knockout so bad he started catching me with some shots. So then I decided to box a little bit and that’s what I did until the knockout came.
“I’m glad it went seven rounds. It taught me to go to Plan B. I can box beautifully when I want and I showed some of that тази вечер. It was good experience. My power was there; my wind was good. I was breathing well and seeing the shots.”
След борбата, Miller called out the two American heavyweight world champions.
“Charles Martin, I’m coming for you. Дионтей Уайлдър, I’m coming for your Alabama BBQ.”
In the locker room after the bout, Dennis admitted that he was surprised by Miller’s boxing ability: “He’s a better boxer than I thought he would be. That surprised me.”
При откриването схватката на телевизията, undefeated welterweight prospect Bakhtiyar Eyubov impressed with a dominating demolition of the durable Jared Robinson with a third round TKO (:56).
Yeyubov (10-0, 10 Нокаута), who scored three knockdowns in three rounds, recorded his 10тата knockout in his 10тата career professional fight. The hard-throwing Eyubov landed a staggering 57 percent of his power shots while throwing only three jabs in the fight. The Kazakhstan native scored two knockdowns in the first and one in the third over the veteran Robinson (17-3-1, 17 Нокаута), who was only the second opponent to push Eyubov into the third round.
“Was I surprised at how easy it was? Do Not, I can’t believe he made it to round three,” Eyubov said. “The ref should have stopped it earlier. I am much smarter than I was before. I expect more of myself now. It was another step forward and I promise everyone all my fights will be like that. I am like (Артуро) Котки.
“My trainers are teaching me to move my head, and I’m confident that no one can hurt me. I will never ever be knocked down.”
Yeyubov, who entered the ring with a “papakha,” explained his cultural dance following the knockout win.
“The dance and the hat are traditional Kazakhstan traditions,” Eyobov said. “I was honoring my countrymen with that dance. And the hat is a symbol of my honor. No one can take that hat from me. "
The ShoBox tripleheader will re-air on Понеделник, Jan. 25 при 10 p.m. И/PT на SHOWTIME EXTREME и ще бъде на разположение на SHOWTIME по поръчка® започващ събота, Jan. 23.

Около ShoBox: Новото поколение
От създаването си през юли 2001, критиката SHOWTIME бокса серията, ShoBox: Новото поколение е черта на младите таланти съвпадащи труден. The ShoBox философия е да излъчи вълнуващо, харесван от тълпата и конкурентни мачове, като същевременно осигуряват основа за създаване желаещи перспективи решени да се борят за световната титла.

Маями, Добре (Януари 22, 2016) – Heavyweight sensation Trey Lippe-Morrison will compete in his final six round contest when he faces Thomas Hawkins in the main event of a Holden Productions card at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Добре.
Coming from the talent laden city of Houston, TX Hawkins has a 4-1 record with one win by knockout. Although he will enter утрешния fight as the underdog, he sees it as added motivation to spoil future plans for Lippe-Morrison.
“When nobody expects you to win, it puts all of the pressure on your opponent. I’ve seen film on Trey and he’s a tough kid. My trainer knew his father well and Trey is a straight forward fighter just like his dad. As long as I work on what we did in training, we expect to win!"
Perfect as a pro with ten wins all by knockout, Lippe-Morrison’s jaw-dropping power has drawn comparisons to his father. Currently training under the tutelage of Freddie Roach at the Wild Card Boxing Club, the popular Vinita, OK native has huge expectations in boxing circles but must first get past Hawkins.
“It feels good to be moving up from six to eight rounds if all goes as planned,"Каза Липе-Morrison. “I don’t know much about Hawkins outside of some footage I saw on YouTube where he appeared to be a patient and smart fighter that will make you pay for mistakes. My plan is to box him and get rounds in. I never go for knockouts they just happen to come.”
“Trey is the real deal and I plan to put him in big fights within the next year,"Промотора Тони Holden. “We are going to keep stepping him up and hope to get him rounds but he continues to knock out every man in front of him. I have no doubt that Trey Lippe-Morrison is the next American heavyweight star.”
Highlighting the undercard will be Lippe-Morrison’s “Four State Franchise” stablemates in separate bouts. Along with Lippe-Morrison, the Four State Franchise has fought in front of standing room only crowds on multiple occasions.
Bartlesville, OK based welterweight Jarrett “The Legacy” Rouse will look to make it 9-0 when he squares off with Arkansas’ Juan Parra over six stanzas.
Welterweight Jesse Cook of Seneca, MO aims for his sixteenth victory but Corpus Christi, TX’s John David Charles will attempt pull off the upset and win for the second time in three bouts. Cook and Charles will do battle over six rounds.
In a six round special attraction junior middleweight bout, unbeaten Nathan Gallimore travels from Evanston, IL to put his 10-0-1 ledger on the line against 34 fight veteran Rahman Yusubov of Texas.
“The Four State Franchise continues to impress in the ring and the demand for them is unlike anything I’ve seen since I promoted Tommy Morrison,"Каза Холдън. “All of these guys can fight and I look forward to seeing them in bigger bouts in the near future.”
Чисто нов шампион в тежка категория на IBF “Prince” Charles Martin (23-0-1, 21 Нокаута) трябва да е в облак девет.
Само за седмата си година в бокса и малко над трета като професионалист, Мартин вече се оказва шестият южна лапа, който някога е печелил шампионат в тежка категория, след като вкара технически нокаут 3 над главния претендент на Украйна Вячеслав Глазков миналата събота вечер, Януари 16, в центъра Barclay’s в Ню Йорк.
Спечелването на всяка световна титла е невероятно постижение, което повечето никога не достигат за десетилетия на бокса. Добавете, че Мартин извади 2008 Олимпийският бронзов медалист в супертежка категория, който стана вторият настоящ американски шампион в тежка категория в внезапно подмладена дивизия.
“Той се чувства добре,” признава Мартин. “Исках да го направя бързо. Нямах търпение,” той обяснява за бързото си изкачване. “Някои неща, които казват, отнемат време, но когато наистина сте решени да направите нещо, ще го направите възможно най -скоро.”
С вече осигуреното му място в учебниците по история на бокса и няколко доходоносни възможни сблъсъка на близкия хоризонт, защо Мартин не е най -щастливият човек на планетата?
Това беше начинът, по който той спечели.
“В момента имам чувство на празнота,” каза 29-годишният шампион. “Бях пред толкова много хора и беше моето време да блесна в Showtime и да покажа на света моите умения. Чувствах, че няма сила и си казах, че ще бъде лесна работа. Знаех, че ще прекарам страхотна нощ. Щях да го нокаутирам и тогава всички ще ме обичат… но не стана така.”
Глазков спря да се бие в третия кръг поради скъсан ACL в коляното си и Мартин беше обявен за победител в овакантената тогава титла чрез причинен от нараняване ТКО.
“Исках да спечеля колана по моя начин,” - продължи разочарованият Мартин. “Накрая щеше да бъде нокаутиран. Идваше при него. Дори не успях да използвам ъперкът си върху него, но всичко е добре.”
Скромна и изключително симпатична, Мартин остана любезен, след битка и изрази съболезнованията си на разочарования Глазков. Обаче, от онази нощ, Глазков продължи да казва, че е имал “разбра Мартин” и че първенството със сигурност би било негово, ако не беше контузен.
“о Боже мой, Опитвам се да остана скромен за ситуацията, но това е толкова лудост, което каза,” каза Мартин. “Ако наистина мисли така, той се спъва. Нещата щяха да станат много по -лоши за него. Обещавам ви,, след като започна да забавя темпото, комбинациите ми щяха да започнат да излизат. Хвърлях един/два, защото той се отклоняваше доста добре от пътя в първите няколко рунда. Тъкмо започвах. Мислех, че ще го боксирам за известно време и след това ще започна да го хвърлям и да му размахвам дупето. Обещавам ти, че можех. Тази контузия го спаси. Сърцето ми се разби, че не мога да направя това, което искам. Как става това? Забавлявах се.”
Мартин казва, че екипът, приятелите и роднините му са били добри, за да му напомнят, че съкратеното завършване е извън неговия контрол. Той също така казва, че ще си вземе бърза ваканция и след това ще се върне на работа.
И така, какво следва за новия американски шампион в тежка категория?
“Тайсън Фюри или Деонтей Уайлдър. Искам ги и двамата. Искам всичко най -добро. Това е следващият ход. Моето време за блясък ще дойде. Сега съм световен шампион и мога да кажа, че коланът е в правилните ръце. Няма да седя наоколо. Искам да се бия.”
Мартин също казва, че това е световният шампион на Великобритания, Тайсън Fury, някога насочва към него подигравателните си лудории, няма да има нищо против.
“Добре е за бокса да прави такива неща. Харесва ми, че. Всичко е бизнес. В края на деня той няма лудо говеждо месо с никого. Никой не е задушил ничия майка. Това е просто бокс. Трябва да привлечеш внимание по някакъв начин. Той кара хората да искат да видят битка. Ние сме в развлекателния и наранен бизнес. Това определено е истинска битка на ринга. Това е неличностно нещо, което става много лично, след като стъпят на ринга с мен. Това са двама момчета’ поминък там. Това е нашият доход за нашите семейства.”

Ню Йорк, NY (Януари 22, 2016) – WBC USNBC 154 pound champion Boyd “Rainmaker” Melson will serve as a special guest speaker for Johnson & Johnson during their Veterans Leadership Council Town Hall Meeting Четвъртък, 18 февруари in Raritan, New Jersey.
A 2003 Завършил Уест Пойнт, Melson was personally invited to speak by retired Army Colonel and current J&J employee Irving Smith, who was Melson’s Minority Admissions Representative and mentor when he applied to West Point as a teenager. На 18тата, Melson will present to J&J employees who are part of J&J’s Veterans Leadership Council with respect to the topics of Traumatic Brain Injury and Spinal Cord Injury. A former standout salesman for J&J’s Ethicon Division, Melson’s success in and out of the ring is still closely monitored by J&J’s CEO and fellow West Point graduate Alex Gorsky.
“Johnson and Johnson will always exist within an independent aspect of my heart. I am overwhelmed with pride that the honor of speaking to J&J’s Veterans Leadership Council is now extended to me as I was once myself a Veteran working for J&J” said Melson.
Миналата седмица, Melson was honored at Johns Hopkins University as a military superstar. He was their guest of honor for their Men’s and Women’s basketball game, and upon personal request from the women’s basketball team’s coach, he delivered a pre-game inspirational talk to the ladies on that team.
In regard to J&J, Melson said it “it was a great place to work. They were extremely supportive of my boxing career and the mission of Team Fight to Walk. Many of J&J employees are loyal supporters that purchased tickets to see me fight. I am personally asking J&J CEO Alex Gorsky to attend this lecture on the 18th. It is very important to me that he learns how close we are towards receiving FDA Approval to conduct the clinical trial in the United States that Team Fight To Walk has worked the past 5.5 years to raise money for.”
