MINNEAPOLIS (Luty 24, 2019) – Anthony Dirrell (33-1-1, 24 KO) pokonanyAvni Yildirim (21-2, 12 KO)decyzją o podziale technicznym (96-94 X 2 dla Dirella, 98-92 dla Yildirim) o wakujące Mistrzostwa Świata WBC Super Middleweight w turnieju głównym Premier Boxing Champions na FS1 i FOX Deportes ze Zbrojowni w Minneapolis. Sędzia Mark Nelson przerwał walkę w dziesiątej rundzie z powodu przypadkowego starcia głów i przecięcia lewego oka Dirrella, a decyzja trafiła do kart wyników.
“Byłem zdenerwowany przerwą, ponieważ chciałem zakończyć walkę jak mistrz,” Said Dirrell. “Wspaniale jest odzyskać mój pasek WBC. Chcemy zjednoczyć się przeciwko Caleb Plant lub któremukolwiek z mistrzów. po prostu idę do domu, poświęć trochę czasu, porozmawiaj z moim obozem, a stamtąd pojedziemy. Jeśli nadejdzie walka z Benavidezem, będę z nim walczyć.
“Myślałem, że wygrywam tę walkę więcej niż to, co mieli sędziowie,” dodał Dirrell. “Dźgałem go, a on wywierał pewną presję, ale to właśnie robi. Wygrałem jednak walkę i tylko to się liczy.”
Minneapolis-rodzimy Jamal James (25-1, 12 KO) zdobył przyjemną dla publiczności techniczną wygraną przez nokaut Janer Gonzalez (19-2-1, 15 KO). W połowie szóstej zwrotki, Wydawało się, że James upuścił Gonzaleza prosto z prawej ręki, ale sędzia Gary Miezwa stwierdził, że to poślizg. Pod koniec szóstej rundy, James ponownie powalił i tym razem to się liczyło i zraniło Gonzaleza. Pod koniec szóstej rundy, Gonzalez poszedł do swojego narożnika i nigdy nie wyszedł, gdy walka została ogłoszona przestojem w szóstej rundzie, ponieważ Gonzalez nie był w stanie odpowiedzieć na dzwonek w siódmej rundzie.
“To najlepszy tłum, przed jakim kiedykolwiek walczyłem,” powiedział James. “Zapakowaliśmy to miejsce. Środek zimy, śnieg wokół nas, a oni nadal wychodzili i okazywali duże wsparcie. Nie potrafię nawet wytłumaczyć uczucia, że mam tu wyjść i przestać (Gonzalez). Jedyne pytanie, jakie mam, to gdzie jest mój pasek? Zajmuję trzecie miejsce w WBA. Keith Thurman dostał pas, Pacquiao dostał pas. Ale z całą szczerością, ktokolwiek daje mi taką możliwość, wchodzę tam z nimi.
“Zadał mi świetną walkę, ale pod koniec dnia miałem zbyt wiele do zaoferowania i nie mógł się podnieść,” ciąg dalszy James. “Po prostu utrzymywałem swój zasięg i byłem w stanie go kontratakować. A kiedy wchodził, wchodził naprawdę dziko i otwierał się na kilka dużych ujęć, z których mogłem skorzystać. Kiedy po raz pierwszy upadł, myślałem, że to uzasadnione powalenie, ale ref był dobrym ref. Zdecydowanie złapałem go dobrą kombinacją i paskudnym strzałem w ciało za drugie powalenie. Po tym, Wiedziałem, że pozbawiło go to reszty walki i wszystko, co musiałem zrobić, to dokończyć robotę.”
“Myślałem, że to bardzo ważna walka w mojej karierze,” Said Gonzalez. “Byłem bardzo szczęśliwy z tej walki, to po prostu nie poszło po mojej myśli. Znowu będę walczył, chociaż. Każda walka jest dla mnie nauką.”
Walka otwierająca FS1 i FOX Deportes zawierała zacięty rewanż pomiędzyJeison Rosario (18-1-1, 13 KO) i Marcos Hernandez (13-2-1, 3 KO). W lutym 2018, obaj walczyli do remisu. W rewanżu, Rosario był w stanie zapewnić techniczny nokaut, a sędzia Celestino Ruiz wstrzymał akcję 2:45 w dziewiątą ramkę. W czasie postoju, Hernandez był na karcie wyników sędziego Kyle Shiely (77-75) z Rosario na czele na kartach wyników sędziów Johna Mariano i Tima Taggarta (78-74, 77-75).
“Stracił czujność i ciągle popełniał te same błędy,” powiedział Rosario. “Kiedy zobaczyłem okazję, Upuściłem go.
“Kiedy po raz pierwszy walczyliśmy, nie byłam gotowa,” dodał Rosario. “byłem słaby. Ale nauczyłem się od pierwszej walki, co robić w drugiej. Tak go załatwiłem.”
“To była bliska walka, która mogła pójść w obie strony,” Said Hernandez. “Trafił mnie dobrym strzałem. Wstałem i poczułem się OK. Próbowałem tylko uniknąć kilku strzałów, a on uderzył mnie lewą stroną. Strzelał, a ja powinienem był odrzucić.
“Myślę, że sędzia wcześnie przerwał walkę, ale to nie jest moja praca,” ciąg dalszy Hernandez. “Zdecydowanie powitałbym trzecią walkę z Rosario, chociaż. Nigdy nie bałem się z nikim walczyć, więc walka z nim po raz trzeci nie stanowiłaby żadnego problemu.”
W Premier Boxing Champions na eliminacjach FS2, Bryant Perrella (16-2, 13 KO) wygrał jednogłośną decyzję (78-74, 79-73 X 2) przez Breidis Prescott (31-16, 22 KO).
“Jestem bardzo zadowolona z mojego dzisiejszego występu,” Said Perrella. “Poczułem się świetnie pokonując dystans. Moja wytrzymałość była fantastyczna?. Byłbym o wiele bardziej agresywny i rzucał mocniejszymi strzałami, ale zraniłem się w rękę w drugiej rundzie i to bolało resztę walki. Po prostu użyłem mojego szturmu i generała pierścienia, aby kontrolować walkę i wygrać.”
Współfunkcjonująca piła FS2 Pieniądze Powell IV (9-0, 5 KO) zatrzymać Javier Frazier (8-9-1, 4 KO) przez techniczny nokaut w trzeciej rundzie (2:03). Powell wylądował 86 ciosy w walce, 36 z czego do ciała Fraziera.
“Na tym obozie treningowym naprawdę pracowaliśmy nad wieloma zdjęciami ciała,” powiedział Powell. “Mam wrażenie, że w dzisiejszych czasach zdjęcia ciała są zaniedbywane, a zdjęcia ciała opłacają rachunki, złamać cię naprawdę szybko.”
W huśtawce FS2, Austin Dulay (13-1, 10 KO) zdobył bardzo szybkie powalenie w pierwszej rundzie Yardley Cruz (24-13, 14 KO) przed odlotem do zatrzymania trzeciej rundy (:27).
“Właśnie posłuchałem moich trenerów, a oni powiedzieli mi, żebym był psem i przyszedł do przodu,” powiedział Dulay. “Myślałem, że kazałem go zatrzymać z tym pierwszym powaleniem po dzwonku otwierającym, ale nie chciałem się spieszyć, bo ma mnóstwo doświadczenia.
“Chcę rewanżu z Chrisem Colbertem już w kwietniu 13 karta tutaj w Zbrojowni,” dodano Dulay. “Wróciłem do obozu po tej stracie, zorientowali się, co jest nie tak, dostałem dietetyka i przeniosłem się do 135 funtów. Czuję się lepiej niż kiedykolwiek, więc jestem zdecydowanie gotowy na ten rewanż.”
W premierowym pojedynku telewizyjnym na FS2, Justin Pauldo (12-1, 6 KO) zdobył powalenie i zatrzymanie w pierwszej rundzie (1:17) przed Federico Malespina (16-11-2, 2 KO) kto nie był w stanie kontynuować.
“Wylądowałem solidną prostą prawą ręką,” powiedział Pauldo. “Widziałem, jak spada z powrotem na liny i wiedziałem, że go zraniłem. Tak, Dotknąłem ciała i szybko go stamtąd wydostałem.”

“Quillin vs. Truax is a true 50-50 matchup of former
world champions looking to put themselves in position to grab another world
title,” powiedział Leon Margules, Prezes 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,” powiedział Tom Brown, Prezes TGB
Promocje. “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,” Said 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,” Said 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.”
A
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 Walki, 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 zwycięstwa.
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.

RIVERSIDE, CALIF. (Luty 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, Luty 23 from the Armory in Minneapolis and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
Coverage on FS1 and FOX Deportes begins live at 10 p.m. I / 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, Kalifornia, and looking forward to his rematch with Rosario, who he fought to a draw last February in Texas.
Bilety na imprezę, która jest promowana przez Warriors Boxing i TGB Promotions, są już w sprzedaży, i można go kupić w Zbrojowni pod adresem http://ArmoryMN.com/i przez 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.”
On his recent training camp: “I really like training with Henry Ramirez in Riverside, Kalifornia. 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: “Chcę pozostać aktywni, but my focus is solely on Rosario and getting that win. My hopes are to get in with a fighter with a big name. Walczyłem wiele trudnych bojowników, 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.”

He will need all that and more to get past Dirrell. And it’s going to be a
special night watching Jamal James fighting for his hometown fans again.”
Dirrell
(32-1-1, 24 KO) won the WBC Super Middleweight Championship with a unanimous
decision victory over Sakio Bika in 2014. It was the culmination of a long,
hard road for Dirrell of Flint, Michigan after he successfully battled
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and was cleared to return to boxing after completing
chemotherapy in 2008. His reign as world champion was cut short when the
34-year-old Dirrell lost the title by majority decision to Badou Jack in 2015. He
has won five straight since that loss to climb back into contention for a
chance to become a two-time world champion.
“This is just like every other fight where we’re going
to work on a game plan and execute that game plan in the ring,” Said Dirrell.
“I saw him fight Chris Eubank and it showed me some things. He’s a come
forward fighter. That’s the kind of guy I like to fight. He’s tailor-made for
me. I’m going to do what I do best and that’s fight. I’ve been keeping my mind,
body and soul together and staying focused to know what I have to do to become
two-time WBC champion.”
Yildirim
(21-1, 12 KO) is one of the most active contenders in the super middleweight
division. The 27-year-old from Istanbul, Turkey has fought at least four times
a year since 2014. Walka z Dirrellem będzie dopiero po raz drugi

2015. Yildirim poniósł jedyną stratę w swojej karierze zawodowej przez przestój
przeciwko Chrisowi Eubankowi, Jr. w 2017. W swojej ostatniej walce wygrał większościową decyzję
przeciwko Lolendze Mock i rozpoczyna tę walkę w serii pięciu wygranych walk.
“Jestem
bardzo wdzięczny wszystkim, którzy pomogli mi w uzyskaniu tej szansy i wiem, że ja
mieć wszystkie narzędzia, aby pokonać Anthony'ego Dirrella,” powiedział Yildirim. “Dirrella
jest dobrym wojownikiem, ale wierzę, że wnoszę do stołu więcej niż on. Idę
wygrać i przywieźć pas do domu do Turcji. Czekałem na to całe moje bokserskie życie
scenę i jestem gotów wydać mu wojnę.”
James
(24-1, 11 KO) stał się lokalnym faworytem i będzie walczył przed swoim
tłum w rodzinnym Minneapolis po raz trzeci z rzędu. 30-latek

umiejętności i szybkość, które czynią mnie kolejnym mistrzem. jestem ekstremalnie

LOS ANGELES (Styczeń 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. Mieszkam w Los Angeles. Plant dominated the whole fight as he maintained a fast and aggressive pace from the opening bell.
With
scores of 116-110 dwa razy i 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. Teraz, 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) od Weslaco, Texas faced former world title
challenger Moises Flores (25-2, 17 KO) 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. Z 30 sekund w lewo w rundzie,
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 trzeciej rundzie.
“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, Tęsknić., in a super welterweight contest that saw
Spencer knocking down Harder three times in less than two rounds. The
18-year-old Spencer, who fought 100 walczy jako amator, 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 rundy.
“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.”
The
Premier Boxing Champions Prelims on FS1 featured three bouts that all ended in
exciting knockout victories, kicking off a great night of fights.
The
Prelim telecast featured the long-awaited ring return of Guillermo Rigondeux
(18-1, 12 KO) who hadn’t fought since December 2017. The Cuban fan-favorite
faced Giovanni Delgado of Tacubaya, Mex. (16-9, 9 KO) and knocked him out in
the last second of round one with an overhand left. Delgado could not be saved
by the 10 count and the fight was called in favor of Rigondeux.
“This
is my division. To jest mój czas,” said Rigondeaux. “I am the king of 122
funtów. Czułem 100 procent. Delgado is a good fighter. I take my hat off to him
and his team. I came prepared and I am ready to face people that are
undefeated. Whoever has a belt, I am taking it. You can expect me back in less
than two months.”
“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) Tulsa, OK
saw Elbiali knock Green down in every round. Jednak, Green did showcase his
experience choosing to go toe-to-toe despite Elbiali’s aggression. Ostatecznie,
it was a right uppercut followed by an overhand right that sent Green to the
canvas as Elbiali scored a knockout at 1:16 od rundy trzeciej.
“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 (Roślina) 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 trzeciej rundzie. 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.

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. Ma duże doświadczenie, 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.”

training is on another level. I’ll be at my best come fight night and I
can’t wait.”

I can tell him is be ready.”

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

dangerous. I will be crowned champion!”
