MINNEAPOLIS (Febbraio 24, 2019) – Anthony Dirrell (33-1-1, 24 KO) sconfittoAvni Yildirim (21-2, 12 KO)mediante decisione di scissione tecnica (96-94 X 2 per Dirrell, 98-92 per Yildirim) per il vacante WBC Super Middleweight World Championship nell'evento principale dei Premier Boxing Champions su FS1 e FOX Deportes dall'Armory a Minneapolis. L'arbitro Mark Nelson ha interrotto la gara al decimo round a causa di uno scontro accidentale di teste e di un taglio sull'occhio sinistro di Dirrell con la decisione che andava alle scorecard.
“Ero arrabbiato con l'interruzione perché volevo finire la lotta come un campione,” , ha detto Dirrell. “È fantastico riavere la mia cintura WBC. Vogliamo unirci contro Caleb Plant o uno qualsiasi dei campioni. Vado solo a casa, prenditi un po 'di tempo, parla con il mio campo e poi andremo da lì. Se la battaglia di Benavidez viene chiamata, allora lo combatterò.
“Pensavo di vincere questa battaglia con più di quello che avevano i giudici,” ha aggiunto Dirrell. “Lo stavo colpendo e lui stava esercitando una certa pressione, ma è proprio quello che fa. Ho vinto la battaglia però e questo è tutto ciò che conta.”
Nativo di Minneapolis Jamal James (25-1, 12 KO) ha segnato una vittoria ad eliminazione diretta tecnica gradita dal pubblico Janer Gonzalez (19-2-1, 15 KO). A metà della sesta strofa, James sembrava abbandonare Gonzalez con un destro dritto dritto, ma l'arbitro Gary Miezwa lo ha dichiarato uno slittamento. Verso la fine del sesto round, James ha atterrato un altro atterramento e questa volta ha contato e ha ferito Gonzalez. Alla fine del sesto round, Gonzalez è andato al suo angolo e non è mai uscito con la lotta dichiarata interruzione del sesto round poiché Gonzalez non è stato in grado di rispondere alla campana per il settimo round.
“Questa è la migliore folla a cui abbia mai combattuto,” disse James. “Abbiamo imballato questo posto. Mezzo inverno, neve tutt'intorno a noi e sono comunque venuti fuori e hanno mostrato molto supporto. Non riesco nemmeno a spiegare la sensazione di venire qui e fermarmi (Gonzalez). L'unica domanda che ho è dov'è la mia cintura? Sono al terzo posto nella WBA. Keith Thurman ha ottenuto la cintura, Pacquiao ha ottenuto la cintura. Ma in tutta onestà, chiunque mi dia questa opportunità, io intervengo con loro.
“Mi ha dato una grande battaglia, ma alla fine della giornata avevo troppo da offrire e lui non poteva rialzarsi,” ha continuato James. “Ho mantenuto il mio raggio d'azione e sono stato in grado di contrastarlo. E quando stava entrando, stava entrando in modo selvaggio e si stava aprendo per alcuni pezzi grossi che ho potuto sfruttare. La prima volta che è caduto ho pensato che fosse un atterramento legittimo, ma l'arbitro era un buon rif. L'ho sicuramente catturato con una buona combinazione e un brutto colpo al corpo per il secondo atterramento. Dopo di che, Sapevo che gli aveva tolto il resto della lotta e tutto quello che dovevo fare era finire il lavoro.”
“Pensavo che questa fosse una battaglia molto importante per la mia carriera,” Ha detto Gonzalez. “Ero così felice per questa lotta, semplicemente non è andata a modo mio. Combatterò di nuovo, anche se. Ogni combattimento è un'esperienza di apprendimento per me.”
L'incontro di apertura di FS1 e FOX Deportes è stato caratterizzato da una combattuta rivincita traJeison Rosario (18-1-1, 13 KO) e Marcos Hernandez (13-2-1, 3 KO). Nel febbraio del 2018, i due hanno combattuto per un pareggio. Nella rivincita, Rosario è stato in grado di assicurarsi un ko tecnico con l'arbitro Celestino Ruiz che interrompe l'azione 2:45 nel nono fotogramma. Al momento dell'arresto del gioco, Hernandez era in testa alla classifica del giudice Kyle Shiely (77-75) con Rosario in vantaggio sui punteggi dei giudici John Mariano e Tim Taggart (78-74, 77-75).
“Ha abbassato la guardia e ha continuato a fare gli stessi errori,” disse Rosario. “Quando ho visto l'opportunità, L'ho lasciato cadere.
“La prima volta che abbiamo litigato non ero pronto,” ha aggiunto Rosario. “Ero debole. Ma ho imparato dal primo combattimento cosa fare nel secondo. È così che l'ho portato fuori.”
“È stata una lotta serrata che sarebbe potuta andare in entrambi i modi,” Ha detto Hernandez. “Mi ha colpito con un buon tiro. Mi sono alzato e mi sono sentito a posto. Stavo solo cercando di schivare alcuni colpi e mi ha colpito con un sinistro. Stava sparando e avrei dovuto ribattere indietro.
“Penso che l'arbitro abbia interrotto la lotta in anticipo, ma non è il mio lavoro,” ha continuato Hernandez. “Darei sicuramente il benvenuto a un terzo incontro con Rosario, anche se. Non ho mai avuto paura di combattere nessuno, quindi combatterlo una terza volta non sarebbe affatto un problema.”
Nei Premier Boxing Champions su preliminari FS2, Bryant Perrella (16-2, 13 KO) ha vinto una decisione unanime (78-74, 79-73 X 2) su Breidis Prescott (31-16, 22 KO).
“Sono molto contento della mia prestazione di stasera,” Detto Perrella. “Mi sono sentito benissimo andando lontano. La mia resistenza è stata fantastica. Sarei stato molto più aggressivo e avrei lanciato colpi più duri, ma mi sono fatto male alla mano nel secondo round e mi ha fatto male il resto della lotta. Ho appena usato il mio jab e ring generale per controllare il combattimento e ottenere la vittoria.”
La sega co-caratteristica di FS2 Money Powell IV (9-0, 5 KO) fermare Javier Frazier (8-9-1, 4 KO) per KO tecnico al terzo turno (2:03). Powell atterrò 86 pugni nell'incontro, 36 di cui erano al corpo di Frazier.
“In questo campo di allenamento abbiamo davvero lavorato su molti colpi del corpo,” disse Powell. “Mi sento come se i colpi del corpo siano trascurati al giorno d'oggi e che i colpi del corpo paghino i conti, abbatterti molto velocemente.”
Nell'incontro swing con FS2, Austin Dulay (13-1, 10 KO) ha segnato un atterramento al primo turno molto veloce di Yardley Cruz (24-13, 14 KO) prima di passare a un arresto del terzo round (:27).
“Ho appena ascoltato i miei allenatori e mi hanno detto di essere un cane e di farsi avanti,” disse Dulay. “Pensavo di averlo fermato con quel primo atterramento dopo la campana di apertura, ma non volevo precipitarmi in nulla perché ha un sacco di esperienza.
“Voglio subito una rivincita con Chris Colbert in aprile 13 carta qui all'Armeria,” ha aggiunto Dulay. “Sono tornato al campo dopo quella perdita, capito cosa c'era che non andava, ho un nutrizionista e sono passato a 135 libbre. Mi sento meglio che mai, quindi sono decisamente pronto per quella rivincita.”
Nell'incontro televisivo di apertura su FS2, Justin Pauldo (12-1, 6 KO) ha segnato un atterramento al primo turno e l'interruzione (1:17) contro Federico Malespina (16-11-2, 2 KO) che non è stato in grado di continuare.
“Ho atterrato una solida mano destra dritta,” disse Pauldo. “L'ho visto ricadere tra le corde e sapevo di averlo ferito. Così, Ho toccato il corpo e l'ho tirato fuori velocemente.”

“At this point in my career, every fight is a championship fight, because I’m so close to that level. If you slip up once, then you fall back. We have to stay ready.
“We’ve been training hard. There’s been a lot of work on technique and work on being prepared for anything that comes in the ring. Nella mia mente, I train for him like he’s the ultimate opponent.
“I’m a lot more comfortable in my hometown after fighting here a lot recently. Sometimes you want to perform so well in front of all your people that you press, but now I’m a lot more calm. I’m not overlooking this fight at all, but I’m gunning for that title fight.”
JANER GONZALEZ
“I’m very thankful for this opportunity to be in this great fight. My team has me prepared for this fight and has given me great support throughout training camp.

“I had been preparing in Colombia with Breidis Prescott and it’s gotten me in top condition for the fight. I’m ready to do it in the ring.
“I know James is fighting at home but they can’t help him in the ring. It’s just me and him and I plan on breaking him down and getting the win.”
LEON Margules, Presidente Warriors Boxing
“It’s great to be back at the Armory in Minneapolis. This is our third PBC event here and it’s just a terrific venue with an enthusiastic and great crowd for boxing.
“This is a fantastic card headlined by a world championship fight. This is going to be a terrific fight to prove who is the best super middleweight. You don’t want to miss a high level fight like this one on Saturday night.
“Everybody in Minnesota knows Jamal James, as he’s become one of the stars of the boxing community here. I believe someday he’s going to be a world champion.”

“Quillin vs. Truax is a true 50-50 matchup of former
world champions looking to put themselves in position to grab another world
title,” ha detto Leon Margules, Presidente Warriors Boxing. “Truax will
have the hometown crowd in Minnesota behind him, but Quillin has fought at the
highest level against top competition for years. It has all the makings of a
dramatic fight, and combined with the Derevyanchenko vs. Culcay middleweight
eliminator, it’s going to make for an action packed night at the Armory and on
FS1 and FOX Deportes.”
“Both of these are fantastic matchups because there are
championship implications on the line,” ha detto Tom Brown, President of TGB
Promotions. “That adds to the motivation for each of the guys stepping
into the ring. For Qullin and Truax, they both know what it means to be a world
champion and this is their opportunity to return to that status. There is
always a lot of energy in the Armory for these types of matches and that really
carries over to the FS1 and FOX Deportes broadcast for those watching at home.
It promises to be a very entertaining evening for all boxing fans.”
A
former middleweight champion, Quillin (34-1-1, 23 KO) delivered in his second
bout at super middleweight, defeating J’Leon Love last August by unanimous
decision. Born in Chicago and raised Michigan, Quillin has called Brooklyn,
N.Y.. home throughout a pro career that saw him win a world title against Hassan
N’Dam in 2012 and defend it three times. His only loss came to Daniel Jacobs in
2015 after battling former champion Andy Lee to a draw earlier that year.
“I’m
approaching this fight very seriously because I know Truax is a durable guy who
knows how to fight,” Detto Quillin. “He comes from a background where
people don’t give him credit for what he’s done, and those are the most dangerous
guys. I’m no stranger to fighting in my opponent’s backyard. My job is to go
into the ring and go home with the win. I’m looking to walk away with some of
his fans on my side by winning the fight and putting on a great
performance.”
Fighting
out of Osseo, Minnesota, Truax (30-4-2, 19 KO) pulled off one of 2017’s
biggest upsets when he traveled to London to defeat James DeGale and become a
168-pound world champion. The 35-year-old lost a hard-fought rematch to DeGale
in 2018 and most recently scored a third-round stoppage of Fabiano Soares at
the Armory in August.
“Peter
Quillin is someone I’ve wanted to fight since I first sparred with him in
2012,” Detto Truax. “I walked away from that experience confident that
I could get the job done if we were ever matched together. The fact that it’s
taking place at home in Minnesota is even better because my fans are going to
give me a huge advantage. My goal is to get back into title contention and win
my second world title.”
La
2008 Olympian for his native Ukraine, Derevyanchenko (12-1, 10 KO) has made
his home in Brooklyn, N.Y.. since turning pro in July 2014. The 33-year-old was
unbeaten in his first 12 combattimenti, earning a world title fight with a final-round
stoppage of Tureano Johnson in 2017. He most recently dropped a narrow
split-decision to Daniel Jacobs in a middleweight title fight in October.
Culcay
(25-3, 13 KO) is originally from Ecuador, spent much of his career fighting
out of Germany, and now lives in Florida. He enters this bout on a three-fight
winning streak after picking up a trio of wins in 2018. He had previously held
an interim 154-pound titles before losing close decisions against Demetrius
Andrade and Maciej Sulecki.
Representing
his hometown of Brooklyn, N.Y., Colbert (10-0, 3 KO) has begun to make a name
for himself showing off tremendous skills across his first 10 pro victories.
The 22-year-old most recently dominated Josh Hernandez on FS1 in January and he
will return to fight at The Armory for the second time after defeating then
unbeaten Austin Dulay on FS1 last April.

Once-Beaten Contender Hernandez Battles Jeison Rosario in Rematch Saturday, Febbraio 23 in Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 & FOX Deportes Action from The Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota Beginning at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT
RIVERSIDE, CALIF. (Febbraio 15, 2019) – Once-beaten contender“Mad Man” Marcos Hernandez will look to continue his winning streak from “The Contender Season Five”, when he rematches Jeison Rosario live on FS1 and FOX Deportes Saturday, Febbraio 23 from the Armory in Minneapolis and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
Coverage on FS1 and FOX Deportes begins live at 10 p.m. E / 7 p.m. PT and is headlined by former WBC super-middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell facing Avni Yildirim for the vacant WBC Super Middleweight Championship.
The 25-year-old from Fresno, California is looking to continue his journey to a world title as he has beaten four well-regarded prospects in only fifteen fights. Hernandez is currently training with Henry Ramirez in Riverside, California, and looking forward to his rematch with Rosario, who he fought to a draw last February in Texas.
I biglietti per l'evento, which is promoted by Warriors Boxing and TGB Promotions, sono già in vendita, and can be purchased at the Armory athttp://ArmoryMN.com/e tramite Ticketmaster.
Here is what Hernandez had to say about his upcoming matchup and more:
On his rematch against Jeison Rosario: “I fought Jeison Rosario almost one year ago exactly. I have a lot of respect for him because we fought to a draw, but that being said, I felt I got the better of him. This not a six-round bout like our first match, this is a ten-round fight, and I know what needs to be done to further my career with my performance in this fight.”
Nel suo recente campo di addestramento: “I really like training with Henry Ramirez in Riverside, California. Henry is a cool guy who’s trained a lot of top fighters and knows what it takes to get the job done. In Fresno there were many distractions, so moving away from my family, my wife and kids, it is a sacrifice that I make to go to the next level. This is a job and I treat it like a job. I am doing everything possible to be a contender.”
On fighting on this PBC event on FS1 and FOX Deportes: “I’m very excited as this is my fourth time on FS1. I love what Premier Boxing Champions is doing for the sport of boxing, bringing fights to network television. FS1 has been good to me and I am excited that one of my biggest wins will be on FS1 so everyone can watch it.”
On his goals for 2019: “Voglio rimanere attivi, but my focus is solely on Rosario and getting that win. My hopes are to get in with a fighter with a big name. I’ve fought a lot of tough fighters, but not a lot of big-name fighters yet. I am hoping that by the end of this year I can fight one of those fighters’ people have seen on television for years.”

Dirrell
(32-1-1, 24 KO) ha vinto il WBC Super Middleweight Championship con un unanime
vittoria decisiva su Sakio Bika in 2014. È stato il culmine di un lungo,
strada dura per Dirrell di Flint, Michigan dopo aver combattuto con successo
linfoma non Hodgkin ed è stato autorizzato a tornare alla boxe dopo aver completato
chemioterapia in 2008. Il suo regno come campione del mondo è stato interrotto quando il
Il 34enne Dirrell ha perso il titolo con decisione a maggioranza contro Badou Jack 2015. Lui
ha vinto cinque vittorie consecutive da quella sconfitta per tornare in lizza per a
possibilità di diventare un due volte campione del mondo.
“Questo è proprio come ogni altro combattimento in cui stiamo andando
lavorare su un piano di gioco ed eseguire quel piano di gioco sul ring,” , ha detto Dirrell.
“L'ho visto combattere Chris Eubank e mi ha mostrato alcune cose. È arrivato
combattente in avanti. Questo è il tipo di ragazzo che mi piace combattere. È fatto su misura per
me. Farò quello che so fare meglio e questa è la lotta. Ho tenuto la mente,
corpo e anima insieme e rimanere concentrato per sapere cosa devo fare per diventare
due volte campione WBC.”
Yildirim
(21-1, 12 KO) è uno dei contendenti più attivi nei super medi
divisione. Il 27enne di Istanbul, La Turchia ha combattuto almeno quattro volte
un anno fa 2014. La lotta contro Dirrell sarà solo la seconda volta
ha combattuto negli Stati Uniti dopo aver sconfitto Glen Johnson a Miami nel
2015. Yildirim ha subito l'unica perdita della sua carriera professionale per interruzione
contro Chris Eubank, Jr. in 2017. Nella sua ultima battaglia ha vinto una decisione a maggioranza
contro Lolenga Mock e lui entra in questa lotta con una serie di cinque vittorie consecutive.
“Sono
molto grato a tutti coloro che mi hanno aiutato a ottenere questa opportunità e so che io
avere tutti gli strumenti per battere Anthony Dirrell,” disse Yildirim. “Dirrell
è un buon combattente, ma credo di portare in tavola più di lui. Sto arrivando
per vincere e portare la cintura a casa in Turchia. Ho aspettato tutta la mia vita da pugile per questo
palco e sono pronto a dargli una guerra.”
Giacomo
(24-1, 11 KO) è diventato un favorito locale e combatterà davanti al suo
folla della città natale a Minneapolis per la terza volta consecutiva. Il 30enne
James ha ottenuto quattro vittorie consecutive da quando ha subito la prima sconfitta
della sua carriera – una decisione unanime sconfitta a Yordenis UgsuS
nel 2016. Nella sua ultima battaglia James ha fermato Mahonry Montes per KO ad agosto

Colombia e sta venendo fuori la prima sconfitta in carriera per via unanime
decisione di Radzhad Butaev in 2017.
“Sono
affamato di fare 2019 l'anno in cui ottengo quel titolo mondiale,” disse James.
“Sono concentrato sul mio avversario, ma in questa lotta continuerò a mostrare
fuori dalle capacità e dalla velocità che mi rendono il prossimo campione. Sono estremamente
grato di combattere di nuovo a casa e di continuare a portare PBC a Minneapolis.
Sarò il prossimo campione da qui e il viaggio ricomincia da zero per
2019 quando entro in quel ring il 23 febbraio.”
“Sono entusiasta di questa opportunità di combattere Jamal James
nel suo cortile e lasciare delusi tutti i fan della sua città natale,” disse
Gonzalez. “Mi sto allenando più duramente che mai per riprendermi dalla mia perdita e
mostra a tutti quello che ho imparato. Questa vittoria mi farà tornare sul

LOS ANGELES (Gennaio 13) – The challenger proved to be the aggressor as Caleb Plant became the IBF Super Middleweight World Champion, defeating Jose Uzcategui in the main event of the first Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes event of 2019, which took place at the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live in Los Angeles. Plant dominated the whole fight as he maintained a fast and aggressive pace from the opening bell.
With
scores of 116-110 due volte e 115-111 in favor of Plant, the freshly crowned
champion, Plant fell to his knees overcome with emotion when he heard “and the
new!".
“I’ve
worked my whole entire life for this,” said Plant. “I buried my daughter in the
process of trying to get this belt. I promised I would bring her this title and
that is what I am going to do.”
The
super middleweight barnburner started out strong with both combatants throwing
exchanges, but Plant did everything in his power to never back down. Uzcategui
threw hard right hands to start the second round, but Plant quickly turned the
round in his favor as he knocked Uzcategui to the canvas with a flurry of
punches, only the third time Uzcategui had been knocked down in his career. A
small cut opened under the left eye of Uzcategui to start the third, but he
fought through it and fended off Plant’s aggression. One minute into the fourth
round, a cut opened up under Plant’s right eye causing blood to stream. That
did not stop the Nashville native as threw a hard left hook that once again
sent Uzcategui to the canvas.
As
the fight progressed, the Venezuelan was unable to utilize his distance, thus
allowing Plant to fight on the inside. Despite good exchanges in the seventh
and eighth, it became increasingly clear that Uzcategui would need a knockout
to hold onto his belt. Uzcategui flipped a switch in the championship rounds
and came forward, throwing hard blows to the body and head of Plant. But it was
too little too late for Uzcategui as Plant’s ring generalship controlled the
pace of the fight, ultimately ending in a unanimous decision.
“I
knew I caught him clean [when I knocked down Uzcategui], but I knew he wasn’t
all the way out so I took my time,” continued Plant. “I stayed relaxed. I stuck
to the game plan and got it done just like I said I would.
“This
is overwhelming. I am a kid who came from nothing. I believed in myself and now
I’ve been crowned king. Ora, I am not thinking ahead. I just want to
embrace this moment and soak it in.”
“I
did feel that I had the advantage heading into the fight,” said Uzcategui. “I
went down because I was off balance, but I wasn’t hurt. He started to get tired
around the sixth round, which was the plan. Caleb knew how to clench and hold.
He was smart. He knew how to stay away from the punches.
“I
expected more movement and more boxing out of him,” continued Uzcategui. “I
would love the rematch. I think everyone saw a great fight tonight. I gave him
the chance at the title and I would hope he would give me the chance to win it
back.”
Unbeaten
Brandon Figueroa (18-0, 13 KO) di Weslaco, Texas faced former world title
challenger Moises Flores (25-2, 17 KO) di Guadalajara, Mex. in a WBA Super
Bantamweight title eliminator. Figueroa wasted no time attacking Flores in
round one as he came forward and threw several hard lefts followed by a body
shot that seemed to surprise Flores. Con 30 secondi dalla fine del round,
Figueroa went for the body and worked Flores on the inside. While Flores seemed
to find his footing at the start of round three, Figueroa unleashed a flurry of
punches that sent Flores to the canvas once and then a second time that ended
the fight at 1:35 del terzo turno.
“Break
him down and finish him,” said Figueroa “This is exactly how I expected it to
go. I knew that he wasn’t going to handle those body shots. My message to
Daniel Roman is that I am going to go home and prepare.
“I
used that body work,” continued Figueroa. “I am really strong. I came in at 110
percent and did my job. I could have done better. I am really hard on myself. I
know there are things I can continue to work on and will do that as soon as I
get home. I am most definitely ready for a title shot.”
Fast-rising
undefeated star and PBC Prospect of 2018 Joey Spencer (6-0, 6 KO) of Linden,
Mich., continued his impressive knockout streak as he defeated Brandon Harder
(2-2, 1 KO) of Southaven, Perdere., in a super welterweight contest that saw
Spencer knocking down Harder three times in less than two rounds. The
18-year-old Spencer, chi ha combattuto 100 combatte come un dilettante, established his jab
early and landed at will. He threw and landed a straight right at the end of
round one that sent Harder to his knees. Forty-five seconds into round two,
Spencer sent Harder to the canvas again followed by a swarm of punches that
ended the fight at 1:27 del round.
“Fans
are going to see that I give it my all when I get in the ring and I’m going to
put on a show,” said Spencer. “You’re going to get more and more tests in my
career and I believe I will rise to the level of my competition. Sometimes
you’re in there with an awkward guy, he proves to be a test. I’ll move to six
rounds for my next fight. I want to fight four times this year and I’m looking
forward to it.”
Il
Premier Boxing Champions Prelims su FS1 in vetrina tre periodi che tutto finì in
emozionanti vittorie eliminazione diretta, dando il via ad una grande notte di scontri.
Il
trasmissione televisiva Prelim caratterizzato il ritorno tanto atteso anello di Guillermo Rigondeux
(18-1, 12 KO) che non aveva combattuto dal dicembre 2017. Il cubano preferiti dai fan
affrontato Giovanni Delgado di Tacubaya, Mex. (16-9, 9 KO) e lo mette fuori gioco in
all'ultimo secondo una rotonda con un overhand sinistra. Delgado non può essere salvato
dal 10 conteggio e la lotta è stato chiamato a favore di Rigondeux.
“Questo
è mia divisione. Questo è il mio tempo,”Ha detto Rigondeaux. “Io sono il re di 122
libbre. Sentivo 100 cento. Delgado è un buon combattente. Mi tolgo il cappello davanti a lui
e il suo team. Mi sono preparato e sono pronto ad affrontare le persone che sono
imbattuto. Chi ha una cintura, Mi sto prendendo. Mi può aspettare di nuovo in meno
di due mesi.”
“I
fought my idol tonight,” said Delgado. “I knew he hit hard, but I didn’t know
he hit that hard. I have been cleared by the doctor and am fine. Just a little
bit in shock.”
A
scheduled eight-round light heavyweight bout featuring Egypt’s Ahmed Elbiali
(18-1, 15 KO) against 16-year veteran Allan Green (33-6, 22 KO) di Tulsa, OK
saw Elbiali knock Green down in every round. Tuttavia, Green did showcase his
experience choosing to go toe-to-toe despite Elbiali’s aggression. In definitiva,
it was a right uppercut followed by an overhand right that sent Green to the
canvas as Elbiali scored a knockout at 1:16 di tre tondo.
“I
was easier than I thought it was going to be,” said Elbiali. “Losing to Pascal
the way I did, it messes with you mentally. I was trying to stay on my A-game.
Stay focused and thankfully it showed. My game plan clicked really well. I have
been sparring with Caleb (Impianto) and other great guys. That keeps you sharp and
alert. I would love to win a world title and be the first Egyptian win a world
championship.”
In
the opening bout of the Premier Boxing Champions Prelims on FS1, Mexican
Olympian Lindolfo Delgado (8-0, 8 KO) of Linares, Mex. continued his
professional knockout streak as he defeated Sergio Lopez (22-13-1, 15 KO) of
West Covina, CA via knockout at 2:48 del terzo turno. Delgado has yet to
fight 30 rounds in his eight fights as a professional. He was clearly the
aggressor throughout the fight and landed almost 50 percent of his power
punches.

LAS VEGAS (Gennaio 4, 2019) – Having recently moved from Miami to Las Vegas, hard-hitting light heavyweightAhmed Elbiali shared his thoughts on training camp as he prepares to face Oklahoma’sAllan GreenDomenica, Gennaio 13 from the Microsoft Theatre at L.A.

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Zanfer Promotions, inizio alle $50, are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com. Here is what Elbiali had to say from training camp at Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas:On training with new coach Chris Ben-Tchavtchavadze:“Chris is a great coach and he’s teaching me a lot. I’m learning how to parry punches and my defense is improving. On offense, I’m using my jab more to set up combinations. With Chris in my corner, I feel I have someone who can help me make the proper adjustments in a fight.”
On facing veteran Allan Green:
“I know I’m up against a fighter in Allan Green who’s been in the ring and went the distance with some very good fighters. He has a lot of experience, so I must fight wisely to be victorious. I’m going into this fight with a do or die mindset and I’m going to leave everything in the ring.”
On making the move from Miami to Las Vegas:
“It’s been a tremendous blessing since I moved here a few months ago from Miami. The quality of sparring I’m getting is just incredible. I’m getting better every day just from sparring top level guys. In Miami, there just isn’t the quality of guys to spar on a regular basis. The move has been great.”
On making his return to the ring:
“I only fought once last year so I’m hoping to get back on track fighting regularly in 2019. I think with a few more fights I’ll be ready to challenge anyone in my division. I just need to stay active.”

Impianto (17-0, 10 KO) is originally from Nashville, Tennessee but
now lives and trains in Las Vegas. Here is what he said about his first world title
opportunity and more from training camp with trainer Justin Gamber at City
Boxing Las Vegas.
Nel suo recente campo di addestramento:
“This training camp has been great. We took
everything to the next level as I do every camp. We stepped up everything
for this camp, the sparring partners, the strength and conditioning, all of the
training is on another level. I’ll be at my best come fight night and I
can’t wait.”
On his matchup with Jose Uzcategui:
“Everyone says Jose Uzcategui is the
bogeyman, but after January 13th, I don’t want no excuses. He is a top fighter
in the division, but I will take that spot after I take his title from him. All
I can tell him is be ready.”
On fighting for his first world title:
“This has been a lifelong dream of mine to
be fighting for a world title and now that time has finally come. I’ll be
fighting for my daughter Alia, may she rest in peace. The trials and
tribulations I’ve gone through to get to this point have been overwhelming at
times, but they’ve only made me stronger. I’ve worked hard for this defining
moment in my boxing career and I’m going to rise to the occasion, and everyone
will hear the words…And The New!”
On fighting on FS1 and FOX Deportes during the
NFL Playoffs on FOX:
“It’s going to be a big weekend for sports
with the NFC playoffs going down on FOX, but the night is going to be capped
off with a great world championship fight. You have two warriors who will be putting
everything on the line for super middleweight supremacy. Fans of all
sports who will be watching are going to see a man in myself who is hungry and
dangerous. I will be crowned champion!”
