Las Vegas - Julie 15, 2025 -Die vegtrots van die Filippyne, 'n wêreldkampioen van agt afdelings en vanaf verlede maand, 'n indukteur in die International Boxing Hall of Fame. Terwyl dit lyk soos die groter as die leweManny “Pacman” Pacquiaohet alles wat u kan in die sport bereik, Hy kan hierdie Saterdag nog 'n hoofstuk by sy historiese nalatenskap voeg, Julie 19 Wanneer hy WBC Welterweight World Champion uitdaagMario "El Azteca" BarriosIn die hoofgebeurtenis van 'n PBC Pay-Per-View-geleentheid op Prime Video van die MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Benewens die feit dat hy die eerste vegter geword het wat die onbegryplike prestasie bereik om 'n wêreldtitel te verower na 'n Hall of Fame -induksie, Pacquiao kan sy eie rekord as die oudste weltergewig -wêreldkampioen in die geskiedenis breek as hy die WBC -gordel van Barrios neem. Pacquiao het oorspronklik die merk in Julie gestel 2019, Terwyl hy die voorheen onoorwonne Keith Thurman op 40-jarige ouderdom verslaan het. In 'n era wat supersterre in hul veertigerjare gesien het, soos Tom Brady en LeBron James, presteer dit steeds op die hoogste vlakke, Pacquiao wil weer bewys dat hy 'n generasie -atleet is wat die sport oortref.

Pacquiao sal terugkeer na die ring op 'n plek waar hy sy eie gemaak het, Die MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, die veghoofstad van die wêreld, soos hy syne maak 16ste voorkoms op die lokaal, meer as enige vegter in die aansienlike geskiedenis van die lokaal. Met syne 15ste Hoofgebeurtenis op Julie 19, Hy bind die merk wat deur die mede -legende Floyd Mayweather op die lokaal gestel is, en slegs roetes Mayweather in totale oorwinnings op die arena (15-10). Die twee onlosmaaklik gekoppelde grotes is ook gekoppel aan die meeste titelgevegte by MGM Grand met 12 elke.

Op Julie 19, Pacquiao staan voor 'n vyand met 'n bekende vegterfenis in die Mexikaanse-Amerikaanse Barrios, Aangesien Pacquiao 'n wie se beste van Mexiko se beste deur sy loopbaan verslaan het. Sedert die jaar 2003, Pacquiao het geslaan 12 Mexikaanse of Mexikaanse-Amerikaanse vegters, insluitend legendes soos Juan Manuel Marquez, Oscar De La Hoya, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera en Antonio Margarito. Hierdie oorwinnings bevat 'n paar van Pacquiao se opvallendste oorwinnings en het hom gehelp om die aandag en aanbidding van boks se hondsdol Mexikaanse fanbase te verdien.

Terwyl u al hierdie prestasies opneem, Pacquiao het respek verkry van 'n wye verskeidenheid bokslaters wat hul gunsteling “Manny Moments” voor die Julie gedeel het 19 gebeurtenis. Onder diegene wat oor Pacquiao gepraat het, was voormalige teenstanders Thurman en Barrera, sowel as voormalige sparringvennoot en weltergewigkampioen Shawn Porter.

'Dit was nog nooit 'n oomblik vir my as dit by Manny Pacquiao kom nie,'Sê Thurman. 'My gunsteling oomblik is elke keer as hy die agt punch-kombinasies afgesper het. Met 'n teenstander op die toue, wêreldklas kompetisie, En hy skiet net 'n agtste punt af. Dit het al baie keer gebeur, Maar elke keer as ek dit gesien het, Dit het 'n bietjie vreugde in my hart ontlok. '

'Ek het twee gunsteling Manny -oomblikke, Die eerste is toe hy Oscar de la Hoya geklop het, Omdat ek gedink het dit is onmoontlik,"Said Barrera. 'Ek het gedink dit sou nooit gebeur nie en toe bly de la Hoya sit en dit was verby. Die tweede een was die manier waarop hy Miguel Cotto geklop het. Dit was twee Hall of Famers en Manny wat regtig indrukwekkend was in daardie gewigsklas.

'Wat Manny so spesiaal maak, is die band en nabyheid met sy aanhangers. Sy hart is wat almal soos hy maak. Hy hou daarvan om 'n show aan te bied, Gee dit alles vir die aanhangers, en die belangrikste, Hy word 'n vegter as hy in die ring stap. ”

'Ek het 'n seldsame Manny Pacquiao -oomblik, Want daar is nie te veel wat met die legende kan spaar nie,'Sê Porter. 'Hy het my en my pa na die Filippyne gevlieg en ons het die eerste keer ontmoet en hy was soos' okay dit gaan lekker wees. 'Ek was geskok, want dit was die eerste keer dat iemand met my in die ring behandel het, asof dit nie 'n groot saak was nie ... nadat ek met my hoek gepraat het, het ek 'n stap na die middel van die ring geneem, en dit was soos die oomblik soos' jy ', het ek die Manny Pacquiao gehad.' 10 sekondes. En hy het my in die eerste minuut met 'n goeie reguit linkerhand gevang en dit het my wakker gemaak. Ek was soos 'daardie ou het 'n bietjie krag', En toe was ons na die resies. ”

Wanneer u die uitslae van hierdie Saterdag voorspel, Julie 19 matchup, Die Oddsmakers het die jonger regerende kampioen Barrios as 'n weddenskap gunsteling geïnstalleer. Bekende afrigter en boksontleder Stephen “Breadman” Edwards stem saam met die sentiment, Die beklemtoning van hoe gargantuan die taak beskikbaar is, is vir die 46-jarige.

'Dit sou 'n ongelooflike prestasie wees vir 'n 46-jarige vegter om terug te kom en die weltergewig-wêreldtitel te verower,'Sê Edwards. 'Dit is moeilik om selfs voor te stel dat iemand 'n paar jaar weg is en dan terugkom 46 En wen dit. In alle eerlikheid, Ek dink dat dit 'n onmoontlike taak kan wees. As iemand dit kan doen, Manny kan dit doen, Maar op die oomblik verkies ek Barrios. ”

Ondanks die kans, Verskeie van die bevolkte boksers verkies Pacquiao om die ontsteltenis af te trek, Portier ingesluit, Barrera, en die regerende WBA Super Lightweight -wêreldkampioen Gary Antuanne Russell regeer.

'Pacquiao is 'n stoot in die soort man en hy kan kraak,"het Russell gesê. 'Hy het gewys dat sy stootkrag die werk kan doen. Barrios is jeugdig en 'n selektiewe puncher. Ek dink nie hy sal daar kan sit en foto's neem nie. Manny sal jou laat betaal as jy te lank wag. Hy het altyd gewys dat hy die stryd aan die gang wil kry.

“Pacquiao is 'n hoë-tempo-vegter en Barrios het met daardie tempo gesukkel. Barrios is 'n moeilike deelnemer, Maar ek voel asof hy nog baie het om te leer. Manny was daar saam met baie kampioene en ek glo dat hy die gereedskap in sy arsenaal het en dat dit die nag van die geveg sal wys. Barrios sal die wêreld moet skok. Hy moet genoeg wys om Manny hom te respekteer. Ek leun na Manny om oorwinnend te wees, Maar mag die beste man wen. ”

'Ek glo wel dat Manny Pacquiao Mario Barrios gaan klop,'Sê Porter. 'Ek weet dat almal oor sy ouderdom praat. Dit is die tema, Kan die ou man die jong man klop? Ek dink hierdie ou man gaan altyd te veel wees totdat hy die handskoene opgehang het. ”

'Ek dink dit sal 'n baie interessante stryd wees,'Sê Barrera. 'Pacquiao is 'n uitstekende vegter, 'n wêreldkampioen van agt afdelings wat dit alles sal gee en wat daarvan hou om op 'n show te hou. Dit is 'n geveg waar ons hierdie ouens regtig sal sien bots en die ondersteuners die regte wenners maak.

'Barrios is 'n aktiewe verdedigende kampioen, En hoewel hy nie so ingewikkeld is soos die ander huidige kampioene nie, Hy sal gevaarlik wees sodra hy in die ring stap. Ek wil graag sien dat Pacquiao wen as gevolg van die legende wat hy is. Ek gaan saam met Manny Pacquiao as die wenner, Maar as Barrios wen, Dit sal wees omdat hy bewys dat hy nou die beter vegter is. '

Maak nie saak wie jy sien wen op Julie nie 19, Die aand vorm ongetwyfeld histories, En ondanks enige twyfel wat van buite kom, Pacquiao het die sterk selfgeloof uitgespreek dat hy weer die ring as wêreldkampioen sal verlaat.

'Die vuur, Bepaling en gretigheid om hard te werk is nog steeds daar,'Sê Pacquiao. 'Ek geniet dit nog steeds om die berge te bestuur. Nie elke vegter het hierdie gevoel nie. Dit is 'n seën, Omdat ek in my loopbaan soveel groot gevegte deurgemaak het, is ek nog steeds hier. Ek is terug ... dit sou baie vir my beteken om weer wêreldkampioen te word. Manny Pacquiao gee altyd verrassings aan die aanhangers. Dit is my passie. ”

Angel Fierro: “I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR PITBULL CRUZ. HE DOESN’T INTIMIDATE ME & HE’S AN ORDINARY FIGHTER!" – Fierro Talks Training With Robert Garcia & More Ahead of Cruz Rematch on Saturday, Julie 19

Hard-Hitting Fierro Talks Training with Robert Garcia & Previews Mexico vs. Mexico Rematch Against Former World Champion Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz onSaterdag, Julie 19 on PBC Pay-Per-View Event on Prime Video from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas

RIVERSIDE, SOOS. – July 1, 2025 -Hard-hitting Mexican contenderAngel “Tashiro” Fierrosent a direct message to his compatriot and rivalIsaac "Pitbull" Cruzduring a tense face-to-face at the Los Angeles press conference in June to announce their rematch, and has continued to express his ire toward Cruz as we near their showdown on Saturday, Julie 19 as part of a PBC Pay-Per-View event on Prime Video from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

“When I say something to him, like I did at that press conference, I follow through,” said Fierro. “I promised I would show him that I’m elite and this fight will be more of the same. I have no respect for ‘Pitbull’ Cruz. He doesn’t intimidate me and he’s an ordinary fighter. He’s a human and he gets tired too. I stayed true to myself when I told him I’m coming for war.”

The biggest change for Fierro since the first showdown is the addition of famed trainer Robert Garcia, who has led his training camp and will do the same for his corner on July 19. By joining forces with Garcia, Fierro believes he’s unlocked a better version of himself that he’ll display in the rematch.

“It’s been a tough camp,” said Fierro. “I’ve never trained with this much intensity before. Robert Garcia and the whole team has been excellent. We’ve made changes to my sparring sessions and I believe we’re going to deliver a great result.

“I’ve gone through changes physically, mentally and nutritionally. It’s going to make me formidable. I’m in the best shape of my life and my diet is on point. I’m not worried about making weight and that’s how an elite fighter should come into a fight.”

The Tijuana-native’s first fight against Cruz was a tale of two halves, as Cruz controlled the early rounds before Fierro appeared to turn the tide, out landing his opponent 132 te 106 across the final five frames. While he believes he’ll be even better on July 19, Fierro is confident that he proved his elite status in the first fight, even if Cruz doesn’t.

“I’ve worked on myself and correcting the mistakes I made in the first fight that would have changed the outcome,” said Fierro. “Robert Garcia is very experienced and I watched the fight with him to work on what I need to do to win this time.

“I didn’t keep my hands up 100% of the time like I needed to. That was the main mistake at the time. ‘Pitbull’ underestimated me – and still does- but I already showed him that I’m not middling fighter. I proved I’m elite and now I’m working twice as hard.”

In addition to showing Cruz his level, Fierro believes that he took advantage of the big stage in February on the undercard of David Benavidez vs. David Morrell Jr. to show the Mexican people that he was a true contender. With that extra motivation, he’s promised to show that he will be the next big star to take off from the boxing-rich country.

“At the beginning of the fight, people looked at me like I was a nobody,” said Fierro. “But by the halfway point, I felt a shift, and people were already seeing me as a big-time fighter. I felt like Rocky in Russia! I proved that I’m not just a talker. I’m a true Mexican…We’re two Mexicans with pride on the line and looking to show who the next great Mexican boxing star will be. I’m fighting to bring honor to my country.”

Having already delivered a fight that’s garnering early Fight of the Year consideration, Fierro has promised to deliver even more action the second time around, and perhaps bring back memories of Fierro’s personal favorite all-Mexican rematch Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Erik Morales II.

“You’re going to see a different ‘Tashiro’ and it’s going to be an even better war than the first one,” said Fierro. “The fans will be on their feet from the very first round. I will beat ‘Pitbull’ – no matter what. He better prepare well and I think he will, because deep down he knows what he’s up against.”

**MANNY PACQUIAO VS. MARIO BARRIOS**

Despite a 17-year age gap between these two fighters, both are unified in their desire to deliver toe-to-toe action for boxing fans as the fighting pride of the PhilippinesManny Pacquiaoduels WBC Welterweight World ChampionMario Barriosin the 12-round main event.

Already owning a career that’s seen him earn more accolades than can be listed in print, Pacquiao can etch his name into another chapter of the history books by going straight from his Hall of Fame induction in June to a world championship-winning performance on July 19. In 'n era wat supersterre in hul veertigerjare gesien het, soos Tom Brady en LeBron James, presteer dit steeds op die hoogste vlakke, Pacquiao can break his own record as the oldest welterweight world champion in history with a win over Barrios, after originally setting the mark at 40-years-old in his 2019 triumph over Keith Thurman.

The Filipino legend will have a tall task in front of him to achieve this feat, as the six-foot Barrios will bring a nearly seven-inch height advantage into his second defense of the WBC title. A two-division world champion, Barrios represents his Aztec heritage every time he enters the ring with an all-action style that’s delivered numerous electric clashes and which should combine with the always hard-charging Pacquiao for explosive action. Looking for a signature victory to separate himself from the other titleholders in boxing’s historic glamour division, Barrios will no doubt be keen to upend Pacquiao’s coronation when they square off on July 19.

A three-time Fighter of the Year and the one-time Boxing Writers Association of America’s Fighter of the Decade, Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 Uitklophoue), who hails from Sarangani Province in the Philippines, is the only sitting Congressman and Senator to win a world title. After serving two terms as Congressman, Pacquiao was elected to a Philippine Senate seat in May 2016. Pacquiao’s boxing resume features victories over eight current Hall of Famers, insluitend Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, Tim Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez.

Pacquiao’s most recent run in the 147-pound division saw him dispatch of former four-division world champion Adrien Broner in January 2019, before defeating the then-undefeated and reigning WBA Welterweight World Champion Keith Thurman in July of that same year. Pacquiao’s triumph over Thurman saw him send Thurman to the canvas in round one, the first time Thurman had been down in his career, on his way to edging out a decision in a 2019 Fight of the Year contender. Pacquiao would come up short in his next contest, dropping a decision to late-replacement Yordenis Ugas, who stepped in on short notice to replace an injured Errol Spence Jr. in Augustus 2021.

“Boxing is my passion and I’m so excited to be back in the ring,'Sê Pacquiao. “MGM Grand is like my second home in my career and it’s a place where I’ve had so many memorable fights, including my U.S. debuut. The first title I ever won was a WBC title, and now I am back to fight for the WBC title once again. Mario Barrios is exactly the type of champion I like to fight, because he’s a real Mexican warrior like Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez. Come July 19, it’s going to be an amazing night for the fans.”

The 29-year-old Barrios (29-2-1, 18 Uitklophoue) stamped his place among the welterweight elite in September 2023 as he dropped former champion Yordenis Ugas twice to capture the interim belt by unanimous decision. Barrios followed that up by sending Fabian Maidana to the canvas as well on his way to another dominant decision victory, and was elevated to WBC Welterweight World Champion following the bout. His first defense of the title featured Barrios going toe-to-toe with Abel Ramos in one of 2024’s best fights in action that saw both men score knockdowns and that ultimately ended in a split-draw and Barrios retaining the belt.

Before his run at 147-pounds, Barrios was a world champion at 140-pounds, edging out Batyr Akhmedov in September 2019 with a clutch 12ste-round knockdown that sealed his victory on the scorecards. Throughout his career, Barrios’ only two defeats have come against two of the era’s best fighters in five-time, three-division champion Gervonta Davis and former unified welterweight world champion Keith Thurman. Representing his native San Antonio, Texas, Barrios trains in Las Vegas with top trainer Bob Santos.

Sharing the ring with a legend like Manny Pacquiao is an honor, but once the bell rings, dit is alles sake,” het Barrios gesê. “I respect everything he’s done in the sport, but on July 19, I’m defending what’s mine. This isn’t just another fight — it’s a legacy fight not just for me but for all the Mexican fans as well. Beating Pacquiao puts my name in a different conversation. Pacquiao is a Hall of Famer for a reason. Hy is vinnig, plofbare, and dangerous at all times. But I’m younger, I’m hungrier, and I’m the champion for a reason. I’m coming in with everything I’ve got. Fighting in Vegas is always special, but this event is a truly massive stage and I’m ready to show out for the world.

**SEBASTIAN FUNDORA VS. TIM TSZYU II**

Two of the top fighters in the stacked 154-pound division, WBC Welterweight World ChampionSebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundoraen Australiese supersterTim Tszyuwill meet in a 12-round rematch after their first fight saw Tszyu suffer a grisly cut in round three from an inadvertent Fundora elbow. The then WBO 154-pound champion Tszyu chose to fight on instead of bow out due to the cut, eventually losing his title, along with the then-vacant WBC belt, to Fundora by a close decision. Op Julie 19, these two rivals look to settle the score and establish who is number one at 154-pounds.

Fundora (22-1-1, 14 Uitklophoue) rocketed to the top of the super welterweight division with that victory over Tszyu, and most recently made a successful title defense in March by knocking out top contender Chordale Booker in round four on Prime Video. A native of Coachella, Kalifornië, Fundora notably showed his mettle in April 2022, battling the hard-hitting Erickson Lubin in an instant 2022 Fight of the Year contender. Despite both men hitting the canvas, Fundora stood tall in the end, prompting Lubin’s corner to stop the fight at the end of the ninth round. The 27-year-old has defeated a slew of contenders throughout his career, with his only defeat coming to Brian Mendoza in 2023. Fundora represents one of boxing’s most accomplished families, as he is trained by his father Freddy alongside his younger sister, undisputed flyweight world champion Gabriela. The two fighting Fundora’s are the first brother and sister to simultaneously hold world championships.

I’m more than happy to honor Tim’s rematch clause,” sê Fundora. “I expect Tim to be in optimum condition. Fans should expect nothing but a very entertaining violent display.

Na 2024 saw Tszyu (25-2, 18 Uitklophoue) lose a second-straight bout to IBF 154-pound champion Bakhram Murtazaliev following the Fundora fight, the 30-year-old recently returned to action in April by stopping young contender Joey Spencer in round four in Australia. Tszyu came into the first Fundora fight off a red-hot 2023 campaign that saw him elevated to world champion at 154-pounds while defeating former world champion Tony Harrison, top contender Brian Mendoza and former title challenger Carlos Ocampo. A native of Sydney, Australië, Tszyu made his U.S debut against U.S. Olympian Terrell Gausha in March 2022, earning a unanimous decision. Tszyu grew up playing soccer, but soon gravitated toward boxing. The decision led to him following in the legendary footsteps of his father, Kostya, who was an undisputed 140-pound champion.

“You live for these moments in boxing,” said Tszyu. “I’m blessed to be going through it again — to rewrite the chapter. Even with the bad memories and demons from the first fight, this is what growth means as a human being. I can go through hell and come back on top. This time I’ve got a full 12-week camp focused on Fundora — not a few days’ notice — and I’m bringing that intensity. I’ve got a little place set aside for that green belt. I’m ready to go get it.”

**ISAAC CRUZ VS. ANGEL FIERRO II**

In another greatly anticipated rematch, hard-charging Mexican fan-favoriteIsaac "Pitbull" Cruzwill step in once again against his power-punching countrymanIsaac Fierroas they meet in a 12-round super lightweight rematch. In their first matchup, Cruz and Fierro fought nip-and-tuck over 10 high-octane rounds that saw them combine to throw over 1400 stoot, with Cruz taking home the decision. While Cruz out landed Fierro 142 te 113 over the first five rounds, Fierro was stronger in the second half, landing 132 shots to Cruz’s 106.

Buoyed on by his passionate fan base, Kruis (27-3-1, 18 Uitklophoue) became a world champion in March 2024 as he hurt Rolly Romero badly in round one before eventually ending the fight in round eight via TKO to claim the WBA title. Mees onlangs, Cruz bounced back from a loss to Jose Valenzuela by out-slugging countryman Fierro in that decision triumph in February. A native of Mexico City, Cruz shot up the rankings in 2020, announcing his presence with an electrifying first-round knockout over veteran Diego Magdaleno in October before adding dominant decisions over Francisco Vargas and Jose Matias Romero. This rise led to the 26-year-old challenging undefeated superstar Gervonta Davis in December 2021, a fight that saw Cruz lose by decision to become just the second fighter at the time to see the final bell against Davis. Trained by his father Isaac Cruz Sr., Cruz also owns stoppage wins over former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa and veteran contender Eduardo Ramirez, in addition to a 12-round decision over the then-unbeaten Giovanni Cabrera.

“I’m looking forward to fighting Angel Fierro again,"Sê Cruz. “I know that I won the first fight, but I feel that I can do even better this time around. This is going to be more of the Mexican style boxing that fans want to see. I fight for the fans and I can’t wait to give them more action on July 19.”

Originally from Tijuana, Baja California, Mexiko, Fierro (22-3-2, 17 Uitklophoue) now fights out of San Diego and has made a name for himself with his aggressive style and power punching prowess. The 26-year-old has fought professionally since 2015 and was undefeated in his first 17 uitstappies. He announced his presence as a world contender in 2021 with a career-best victory as he rose from the canvas to stop former world champion Alberto Machado in round six. Prior to the Cruz fight, Fierro had a three-fight winning streak snapped when he lost a June decision against Alfredo Santiago, with the only other loss of Fierro’s career coming via split-decision in January 2020 against Alex Martin. The February 1 fight against Cruz marked Fierro’s third career fight stateside, and his first since a majority draw against Juan Carlos Burgos in March 2022.

“It is an honor to be fighting at MGM Grand where my idol Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. had so many fights,” said Fierro. “I will honor him by again showing real Mexican style boxing for the world. I feel that I beat ‘Pitbull’ in the first fight and I’m gonna prove it the second time around. Ek kom om te wen!"

**BRANDON FIGUEROA VS. JOET GONZALEZ**

One of the sport’s premier action fighters, former two-division championBrandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroawill return to action against top contenderJoet Gonzalez in a 10-round featherweight attraction that will see the winner vaulted back into the world title picture.

The 28-year-old Figueroa (25-2-1, 19 Uitklophoue) will look to bounce back after losing his 126-pound title by decision in his February rematch against Stephen Fulton Jr. Figueroa had been elevated to WBC Featherweight World Champion before the fight, after Rey Vargas was declared champion in recess. Figueroa won the Interim WBC Featherweight Title in a 2023 Fight of the Year contender that saw him score a unanimous decision over former champion Mark Magsayo. He returned last May to successfully defend his interim title with a ninth-round knockout of former champion Jessie Magdaleno, increasing his winning streak at the time to three straight. A native of Weslaco, Texas, Figueroa’s relentless pressure and youthful enthusiasm helped him become the first person to defeat former two-division champion Luis Nery in their May 2021 championship clash, as he stopped Nery with a body shot in round seven. Figueroa added to his family’s legacy by capturing the WBC 122-pound world title against Nery, joining his brother Omar Figueroa Jr., who previously held the WBC Lightweight World Championship.

“I’m training in L.A. now with Manny Robles and everything has been going great,” said Figueroa. “I expect a great fight and that I won’t have to look for him to make an exciting fight for the fans. So expect an all-action throwdown. I feel like I owe it to my fans after my last performance. I just want to be more active this year and give the fans more of ‘The Heartbreaker’.”

Veg uit Los Angeles, Gonzalez (27-4, 15 Uitklophoue) returns to the ring after earning a crucial victory over fellow contender Arnold Khegai in March. The 31-year-old turned pro in 2012 met 23 reguit oorwinnings, earning a world title shot against Shakur Stevenson in 2019 that he would ultimately drop by decision. Gonzalez would go on to challenge for featherweight world titles two more times, losing decisions to Emanuel Navarrete in October 2021 and Luis Alberto Lopez in September 2023. Gonzalez was a sensational and accomplished amateur fighter, with his resume including two victories over Gervonta Davis.

“This is a new opportunity for me and I plan to put on a great fight against a very tough opponent in Brandon Figueroa,"Sê Gonzalez. “I’m training very hard like I always do and the fans are going to get an exciting fight and a memorable show. We’re both warriors showing up to win that night, so expect fireworks.”

Hier is wat die vegters moes Donderdag sê:

CALEB PLANT

“Expect fireworks. Me and my team have been grinding hard and once that bell rings, I’m gonna step on him.

“Armando thinks he can beat me, and that’s enough to piss me off. He knows what’s coming to him.

“I’m not gonna be distracted from the fight that’s in front of me. It’s happened so many times where fighters get so worried about the next fight, and they don’t win the fight in front of them. I’m not letting that happen. Armando is coming to take my spot, but I’m not gonna let that happen.

“The first thing on my mind is to put on a great performance on May 31. I want Charlo, Edgar Berlanga, Jaime Munguia, Diego Pacheco, and anyone else who’s up there. Then I’ll end up where I’m supposed to be. I’m gonna pick them off one by one.

“Some fighters lose and their confidence is shattered. Maybe their confidence was fake to begin with. A loss has never made me think I couldn’t do what I’m capable of. I take those experiences and learn to make adjustments, which a lot of fighters aren’t able to do.

“Experience isn’t something you can buy or borrow. You have to walk through the fire. I’ve been on the biggest stages in boxing. Each time you get those experiences, you take it over to the next fight.

“I’m too strong, I’m too fast and I’m too slick for Armando. I have a great team with me. We’re the A-Team. We’re coming to win and we’re going to win.

“I have the desire to win and the desire to be a champion. Even with the success I’ve had, that desire doesn’t dim at all.

“I feel strongly that you should have fun doing what you love to do. Boxing is the place where I can let go. When that bell rings, that’s when I can be myself.”

ARMANDO RESENDIZ

“I’m really looking forward to this fight. I’m in excellent shape because I’m facing an elite fighter who’s accomplished a lot. My dream has always been to fight against the best and this is making my dream come true. We’re going to give the fans a great fight.

“I know that Caleb remembers me from those sparring sessions. I believe it was right before the Canelo fight. I know that I have the tools to overcome this challenge.

“I think Caleb has some selective memory about our sparring. They took me out of the gym for a reason. I’m gonna show him exactly how much I’ve grown on May 31.

“I don’t care about anyone else but my team and my family. I’m here making my dreams come true. I’m a Mexican fighter and people are gonna see what I’m capable of. It’s not because I think I can win, it’s because I know I can win.

“Training camp has been going great and I’ve had really good sparring sessions. I’m feeling really confident and I’m ready to get it on.

“Like the Mexican fighter that I am, I always put my best foot forward. I believe in what I can do. My career has had highs and lows, but I’ve realized that there’s no opponent that I will fear.

“The fights that I’ve had in the past will allow me to be even stronger this time around.”

Charlo JERMALL

“This is gonna be a fight. I gotta do what I always do. He’s gonna come at me and make it a fight. I expect the best out of him and I’ll be ready to make the adjustments.

“Thomas LaManna is standing in the way of my goals and my dreams. But I’m ready to stand in the paint with him.

“I’m ready to get back in the ring. Those two years actually helped me. They made me better. Not only have I not taken damage, but they’ve made me stronger.

“I’m back at 100%. I feel stronger and better. I’m fully back. My team is better and everything is falling into place perfectly. I got Houston back on my back. I can carry them now.

“There’s bigger fish to fry. I just hope Thomas can go back to his family happy after.”

THOMAS LAMANNA

“We’re gonna shock the world on May 31. That’s what we’re coming to do.

“I’m glad this fight is finally here. The timing is right and I’m excited and ready. We’ll both be in that ring and ready to rumble.

“He is who he is in this sport. He’s been off for a while, but he’s never lost. This is the biggest fight of my life and I’ve been training like it.

“I’ve gotten a lot more experience since I fought Erislandy Lara. The best lesson in life is experience. Every day you get better. I’ve gotten more comfortable with these last nine wins.

“Once the call came for this fight, I answered. I’m here to write my own legacy.”

“Sebastian Fundora sits atop the stacked super welterweight division and will no doubt be looking to put on a show when he defends his world titles against the dangerous highly-rated contender Chordale Booker topping this great event on Prime Video on March 22,” said Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “This is a tremendous style matchup between the forward-charging attack of Fundora and the slick counterpunching of Booker and will make for great back-and-forth. Combined with a surefire action fight between Jesus Ramos Jr. and Kevin Salgado and a toss-up fight between Elijah Garcia and Terrell Gausha, everything is in place for another memorable fight night in Las Vegas.”

“Sebastian ‘The Towering Inferno’ Fundora will be better than ever in his first fight as a defending unified world champion,” said Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing. “The whole Fundora family works so hard to be where they are and they deserve their success. Chordale Booker is a good fighter with real skills, but he won’t be able to take Sebastian’s power.”

**SEBASTIAN FUNDORA VS. CHORDALE BOOKER**

Standing nearly six-foot-six, Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora leapt into the championship ranks after earning a decision over Tim Tszyu last year, and will now defend his WBC and WBO 154-pound world titles against the WBO No. 5-ranked and WBC No. 14-ranked super welterweight contender in Chordale Booker as they top the March 22 event in a 12-round attraction.

Fundora (21-1-1, 13 Uitklophoue) rocketed to the top of the super welterweight division with a fan-friendly style and bruising toughness in the ring that helped him emerge victorious from a grueling and bloody battle against Tszyu last March. A native of Coachella, Kalifornië, Fundora notably showed his mettle in April 2022, battling the hard-hitting Erickson Lubin in an instant 2022 Fight of the Year contender. Despite both men hitting the canvas, Fundora stood tall in the end, prompting Lubin’s corner to stop the fight at the end of the ninth round.

The 27-year-old has defeated a slew of contenders throughout his career, with his only defeat coming to Brian Mendoza in 2023. Fundora represents one of boxing’s most accomplished families, as he is trained by his father Freddy alongside his younger sister, undisputed flyweight world champion Gabriela. The two fighting Fundora’s are the first brother and sister to simultaneously hold world championships.

“I’m preparing really hard to defend my unified WBC and WBO world titles on March 22 in Las Vegas,” sê Fundora. “Everyone can expect to see me prepared and ready to leave it all in the ring like I always do. ‘The Towering Inferno’ is back, and I’m coming to take out everyone in my way.”

Fighting out of his native Stamford, Connecticut, Booker (23-1, 11 Uitklophoue) enters this fight on a six-fight winning streak that includes four stoppage victories that have helped him rise up the rankings and earn his first world title opportunity. Since a 2022 loss to Austin Williams, Booker has dominated his competition, insluitend 'n 2024 campaign that saw him defeat veteran contender Greg Vendetti in February before stopping Brian Damian Chaves in round three of their June clash.

The 33-year-old also owns triumphs over a litany of tough contenders including Wale Omotoso and VeShawn Owens. Prior to turning pro in 2016, Booker put together a sensational amateur career that included gold medals at the U.S. National and Golden Gloves championships, in addition to a bronze medal at the U.S. Olympic trials that earned him an alternate spot for the 2016 U.S. in 'n 10-ronde swaargewig kragmeting in die mede-funksie.

“I’ve done everything I could to get here, and it’s a testament to what my foundation represents – going the distance,” said Booker. “I’ve gone the distance to make it to this fight. I’ve taken fights on short notice, fought for less and always kept pushing forward. Nou, 15 years into my boxing journey, I’m stepping into the biggest fight of my life. This moment means everything and it’s proof that hard work and perseverance pays off.”

**JESUS RAMOS JR. VS. KEVIN SALGADO**

In the 10-round co-main event, one of the sport’s brightest rising Mexican stars will return to action as Jesus Ramos Jr.. looks to continue his climb up the stacked 154-pound division when he battles the all-action contender Kevin Salgado in an explosive all-Mexican battle. After coming up on the wrong end of a contested decision against top contender Erickson Lubin in September 2023, Ramos (22-1, 18 Uitklophoue) has returned in style with back-to-back stoppages. Most recently he blasted out the former unified champion Jeison Rosario in the eight-round of their February 1 matchup.

'n Boorling van Casa Grande, Ariz., Ramos had worked his way up the rankings by defeating a slew of contenders including Brian Mendoza, Javier Molina, Vladimir Hernandez and an emphatic stoppage of the then-unbeaten Joey Spencer. Trained by his father Jesus Sr., and the nephew of veteran contender Abel, the 23-year-old Ramos entered the Lubin fighting having stopped seven of his last 10 teenstanders.

“I’m thrilled to be stepping back into the ring on March 22,” said Ramos. “One of my main goals this year was to increase my activity and this opportunity aligns perfectly with that ambition. Kevin Salgado is a formidable fighter known for his resilience and determination, and that should make for an electrifying night of boxing. Coming off an extended training camp, my conditioning is at its peak. Now our primary focus is to develop a strategic game plan tailored to Salgado’s unique style so that we can secure the victory.”

A native of Mexico City, Salgado (17-2-1, 10 Uitklophoue) is the younger brother of former super featherweight champion Juan Carlos Salgado and now fights out of San Antonio, Texas. Salgado enters this with two consecutive stoppage victories following an April 2023 decision loss to Elijah Garcia. The 27-year-old turned pro in late 2016 and delivered knockouts in six of his first nine outings. After scoring three-straight knockouts between September 2019 and February 2021, Salgado returned to the ring in October 2021 to defeat Ricardo Banuelos Cernas by unanimous decision before fighting Bryant Perrella to a split-draw in his U.S. debuut in April.

Salgado bounced back from a September 2022 defeat to Joey Spencer by knocking out Gilberto Flores in the first round of their December 2022 clash.

“This is an important opportunity and I’m coming to make the most of it,” said Salgado. “I have a strong opponent, but I’m going to be the best version of myself when the fight comes. Maart 22 I will do whatever it takes to get my hand raised.”

**ELIJAH GARCIA VS. TERRELL GAUSHA**

The opening attraction will see the return of a rising star in the 21-year-old Elia Garcia, who seeks to bounce back from his first career defeat and return to his championship trajectory in a 10-round middleweight fight against the always tough veteran Terrell Gausha, who has stood up to a litany of top fighters throughout his career.

Veg uit Phoenix, Arizona, García (16-1, 13 Uitklophoue) steps back into the ring after dropping a close split-decision last June against middleweight contender Kyrone Davis. Garcia had previously burst onto the scene as a teenager by earning three impressive victories in 2023. He kicked off that memorable campaign in March with a knockout of the previously unbeaten Amilcar Vida and followed that up with a pair of performances on the undercards of two of the biggest events of the year.

He first defeated Kevin Salgado on the Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia pay-per-view in April before knocking out Armando Resendiz on the Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo pay-per-view in September. The precocious García has moved fast since turning pro in 2020 and knocked out seven of his last nine opponents heading into the Davis fight.

“I’m not just ready for this fight, I’m ready to dominate,” sê Garcia. “I’m excited to get back in the ring and unleash everything I’ve been working on in camp. The addition of Bob Santos and his knowledge and wisdom that he’s shared with our team is a game changer. His expertise and guidance are going to take us to new heights and propel us to the next level. We’re not just looking to win, we’re looking to make a statement.”

'N Lid van die 2012 U.S. in 'n 10-ronde swaargewig kragmeting in die mede-funksie, Gausha (24-4-1, 12 Uitklophoue) was born in Cleveland, Ohio but now fights out of Encino, California and is trained by the renowned Manny Robles. He most recently dropped a competitive decision to reigning WBC Middleweight World Champion Carlos Adames in their June 2024 wêreldtitel geveg.

Prior to facing Adames, Gausha had won back-to-back bouts as he knocked out Brandyn Lynch in March 2023 before winning a decision over KeAndrae Leatherwood in September of that year. Gausha has faced top competition throughout his career, having fought former champion Austin Trout to a draw in 2019 in addition to decision losses against WBA Middleweight World Champion Erislandy Lara, former world champion Tim Tszyu and top contender Erickson Lubin.

I’m excited to get back in the mix,” said Gausha. “I’m always working and staying ready for any opportunity. Maart 22 people will know why I’ve been at this level for so long. I’m going to make a statement for sure.

'n Boorling van Casa Grande, Ariz., Ramos besit ook rugby 10-rondes eenparige besluite oor Brian Mendoza en Javier Molina in 2021, wat hy opgevolg het deur Luke Santamaria en Vladimir Hernandez in te verslaan 2022. Algehele, die jeugdige Ramos het erkenning gekry met hoogtepunt-reel KO's, stop sewe van sy laaste 10 teenstanders, wys sy vaardighede en vermoë om sy gevegte vroeg te beëindig.

“Ek is opgewonde om deel te wees van hierdie groot kaart teen 'n taai teenstander op 30 September,” sê Ramos. “Ek weet Lubin oefen hard en kom wen, wat vir 'n vermaaklike geveg sal sorg. Hierdie hele kaart is gestapel en ons wil nie teleurstel nie, so die ondersteuners is in vir 'n wonderlike aand van boks.”

Die 27-jarige Lubin (25-2, 18 Uitklophoue) het in Junie teruggekeer na die ring om 'n indrukwekkende vyfde ronde onderbreking van die veteraan Luis Arias te lewer, wat nog nooit voorheen gestop is nie. Lubin se vorige uitstappie het gesien hoe hy tone-tot-toon in een van 2022 se beste gevegte was, terwyl hy in April op SHOWTIME met mededinger Sebastian Fundora knockdowns verhandel het 2022. Op pad na die Fundora-stryd, Lubin het 'n indrukwekkende ses-wedstryd-wenreeks saamgestel sedert 'n nederlaag teen die destydse verenigde en nou onbetwiste 154-pond-kampioen Jermell Charlo in 2017, 'n lopie wat oorwinnings oor Jeison Rosario ingesluit het, Terrell Gausha en Ishe Smith. 'n Boorling van Orlando, Fla., Lubin het pro geword by 18 jaar oud in 2013 en het een van die jongste vooruitsigte geword wat ooit op die ontwikkelingsreeks verskyn hetSHOBOX: Die nuwe generasie®,verdien "Prospect Of The Year"-eerbewyse van ESPN en Ring Magazine in 2016.

“Ek weet die wêreld sal op September kyk 30 en ek beplan om op 'n groot manier te wen,” sê Lubin. “Ons het ’n jong en talentvolle vegter voor ons, maar ek is ook jonk en talentvol. Die verskil is dat ek die room van die oes van die 154-pond-afdeling geveg het. Maak nie saak of dit Olimpiërs is nie, top vooruitsigte, aanspraakmakers of kampioene, Ek het hulle aangeneem. Ek het 'n groot chip op my skouer en ek weet dit met hierdie oorwinning, Ek sal in 'n mega-geveg wees. Ek oefen baie hard en die hele wêreld sal sien dat dit vrugte afwerp.”

UGAS (27-5, 12 Uitklophoue) sal weer in September in aksie tree 30 vir die eerste keer sedert 'n April 2022 eenwordingswedstryd teen Errol Spence Jr. op SHOWTIME PPV. Hy het homself as 'n elite-weltergewig gevestig nadat hy teruggekeer het van 'n meer as twee jaar lange ontslag in 2016 volgende rug-aan-rug verliese in 2014. Hy het in Januarie sy kaartjie as wêreldkampioen deurgeskop 2021 nadat hy 'n WBA-gordel gewen het deur Abel Ramos in September te verslaan 2020. Hy het sy wêreldkampioenskapstatus in Augustus versterk 2021, toe hy ingetree het vir 'n beseerde Spence om die legendariese toekomstige Hall of Famer Manny Pacquiao deur eenparige besluit te verslaan. Kom van Santiago af, Kuba en woon nou in Miami, Florida, die Olimpiese bronsmedaljewenner oefen in Las Vegas saam met die bekende afrigter Ismael Salas en besit oorwinnings oor die destydse onoorwonne vegters Jamal James, Omar Figueroa Jr. en Bryant Perrella, plus veteraan-aanspraakmakers Thomas Dulorme en Ray Robinson.

“Ek en Mario Barrios het baie om te wen met 'n oorwinning in September 30, so ek weet dat hierdie geveg een gaan wees om te onthou,"sê Ugas. “Ek het geweldige respek vir Barrios. Hy is 'n ware vegter wat saam met die beste van hulle in die ring was, maar ek het vertroue dat ek sal oorwin. Ek het baie stryd in my oor en my beste vaardighede sal in hierdie stryd ten toon gestel word. Tuisland en Lewe, Ek veg vir my mense.”

Die 28-jarige Barrios (27-2, 18 Uitklophoue) het onlangs 'n opspraakwekkende uitklophou van Jovanie Santiago in Februarie behaal en Santiago in die agtste ronde gestuit.. Barrios se vorige geveg was sy weltergewigdebuut toe hy in Februarie 'n moeilike besluit aan die voormalige verenigde kampioen Keith Thurman laat vaar het. 2022. Die San Antonio-produk, wat nou saam met die topafrigter Bob Santos in Las Vegas oefen, het in September 'n wêreldkampioen van 140 pond geword 2019, met sy aggressiewe styl om Batyr Akhmedov uit te steek en 'n eenparige besluit te kry. Barrios het die superliggewigtitel in nog 'n aksiebelaaide titel verloor, hoogs mededingende wedstryd, aangesien hy in Junie deur die drie-afdeling en vyfmalige wêreldkampioen Gervonta Davis verslaan is 2021.

“Hierdie geveg gaan 'n oorlog wees, want ons baklei albei met baie hart en nie een van ons deins ooit terug nie,” het Barrios gesê. “Ek kan nie wag om aan 'n wedstryd soos hierdie deel te neem op een van die grootste kaarte van die jaar nie. Dit gaan 'n wonderlike aand van boks van begin tot einde wees en die Mexikaanse aanhangers kan verwag om 'n plofbare vertoning van 'El Azteca' te sien!"

Veg uit Phoenix, Arizona, Garcia (15-0, 12 Uitklophoue) is een van 2023 se grootste wegbreeksterre. Hy het in Maart op die toneel gebars deur die voorheen onoorwonne Amilcar Vidal in die vierde ronde uit te blaas om sy teenwoordigheid teen 160 pond aan te kondig.. Die 20-jarige het daardie vertoning opgevolg deur die veteraan Kevin Salgado te oorheers op pad na 'n eenparige besluit in April oor die SHOWTIME PPV-onderkaart van Gervonta Davis vs.. Ryan Garcia. Die voorbarige Garcia het vinnig beweeg sedert hy prof ingeskakel het 2020 en het ses van sy laaste agt teenstanders uitgestof.

"Dit is my tweede geveg vanjaar op 'n groot betaal-per-kyk-kaart en ek is baie opgewonde en selfs meer voorbereid as die eerste keer,” sê Garcia. “Reséndiz is 'n honger vegter net soos ek, so ek het geen twyfel dat ons 'n helse vertoning gaan aanbied vir al die aanhangers wat kyk nie.”

Die 24-jarige Reséndiz(14-1, 10 Uitklophoue) het 'n loopbaanbeste oorwinning in sy laaste uitstappie behaal toe hy die voormalige verenigde kampioen Jarrett Hurd in die 10ste en finale rondte van hul Maart-kragmeting op SHOWTIME. Reséndiz het op al drie kaarte gelei toe die geveg gestaak is weens 'n ernstige skeurwond op Hurd se lip. 'n Boorling van Nayarit, Mexiko, hy veg nou uit Los Angeles en sal probeer om dit drie agtereenvolgende oorwinnings te maak sedert 'n noukeurige nederlaag teen Marcos Hernandez in September 2021. Reséndiz het in Februarie pro geword 2018 en het 'n suksesvolle V.S. debuut in April 2021 met 'n beslissende oorwinning oor Quilisto Wood.

“Ek is baie bly om hierdie wonderlike geleentheid te hê om op so 'n belangrike gevegskaart mee te ding,” het Reséndiz gesê. “Ek is opgewonde om my droom te verwesenlik om in Las Vegas te veg, net soos my boks-idole wat ek op TV gekyk het. Ek het 'n wonderlike oefenkamp gehad wat my sal help om op my beste te lyk op September 30 en lewer ’n vertoning waardig van die bokslegendes wat my inspireer.”

SUBRIEL MATIAS CAPTURES VACANT IBF 140-POUND WORLD TITLE WITH FIFTH-ROUND TKO OF JEREMIAS PONCE IN HIGH-OCTANE SHOWTIME® MAIN EVENT SATURDAY NIGHT FROM THE ARMORY IN MINNEAPOLIS

Minneapolis-Native Jamal James and Super Lightweight Contender Elvis Rodriguez Score Victories in Televised Undercard of Premier Boxing Champions Event

MINNEAPOLIS – February 26, 2023 -Power-punchingSubriel Matiasshowed why he’s become one of boxing’s most vaunted knockout artists as he stopped the previously unbeatenJeremias Ponceafter five rounds to win the vacant IBF 140-pound World Championship Saturday night live on SHOWTIME from The Armory in Minneapolis headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Puerto Rico’s Matias (19-1, 19 Uitklophoue) captured the title in an electric firefight that saw the two top-ranked 140-pounders throw over 800 combined punches in five rounds according to CompuBox. For Matias, the victory culminated a long journey that had him away from his family for nearly a year as he trained in Mexico for his first title opportunity.

“I’m on cloud nine right now,” said Matias. “I don’t think I’ve woken up from this dream. Maybe I can tell you how it feels tomorrow, maar nou, it’s a dream come true. I wanted to work him from the first round on, because I knew he wouldn’t have the same power as me as the fight went on.”

Ponce (30-1, 20 Uitklophoue) came out extremely aggressive and looked to swarm Matias early as he threw 96 punches in round one, out landing Matias 28 te 11. Matias adjusted in round two, closing the distance and smothering Ponce to dull some of his attack while also finding spots for his own short power punches.

I thought it was an even fight, but one punch can change everything and that’s what happened,” said Ponce. “Subriel is a tough, strong fighter and I knew what he was capable of.”

After landing a powerful left hand that hurt Ponce late in round four, Matias returned determined and sharp in round five, landing 47% of his power punches over the three minutes. In the waning moments of the round, Matiaslanded the decisive blows, a series of head and body shots that badly hurt Matias and put him on the mat.

Ponce was able to make it to his stool, but his corner had seen enough and suggested that the fight be stopped, with the official result coming as a TKO at the end of round five.

“I’m fine now,” said Ponce. “My team knows me, and they made the decision that they had to make. It hurts, but the most important thing is that I’m healthy.”

“I wasn’t really surprised,” said Matias. “Once I saw how his corner reacted. I saw that [Ponce] was hurt. I thought that I was patient in the first four rounds, so I came out with a different approach and mindset in the fifth.”

Na afloop van die stryd, with his IBF belt in tow, Matias set his sights on a unification showdown against WBC 140-pound World Champion Regis Prograis.

“Regis Prograis, Ek kom vir jou,” said Matias. “I’m the world champion now. I promise that I’m coming to hurt you. Prograis likes to talk the talk, but I have that same mentality. Let’s see who prevails. I want him to see that there are people crazier than him in this sport.”

In die mede-hoofren, Minneapolis-native and welterweight contenderJamal “Shango” James(28-2, 12 Uitklophoue) returned from a 16-month layoff to thrill a sold-out hometown crowd and earn a unanimous decision victory after 10-rounds against Argentine OlympianAlberto Palmetta(18-2, 13 Uitklophoue).

“I’m pretty sure everybody can see that layoff affected me,” said James. “I had a lot of rust in me. My legs weren’t sharp, my punches weren’t sharp, but I’m glad I was able to get in there. I liked that because it’s pushing me mentally and it made me step up to the occasion.”

“I thought it was an even fight,” said Palmetta. “I was the aggressor throughout against a former world champion, a taller opponent with longer reach than me.”

In his first action since losing his WBA Welterweight Title to Radzhab Butaev in October 2021, James picked up his fifth career victory at the friendly confines of The Armory. Using his considerable height and reach advantage, James was able to control much of the action and contest the bout on his terms.

“I was trying to adapt,” said James. “I definitely felt like I won the fight but I believe I could’ve done much better. I know that I’m a lot sharper. I know that my endurance is a lot stronger. I just had a lot of time off and my body is still getting back in shape. I’ll be back for sure.”

“I also like to counter, but I ratcheted up the pressure in the second half of the fight,” said Palmetta. “Maybe it looked like Jamal James was superior in the first half because he kept being conservative and countering.”

Palmetta had success countering James but was unable to put together enough combinations or hurt James during the action. James’ edge was reflected on the scorecards, as he out landed Palmetta 193 te 111, insluitend 'n 153 te 102 edge in power punches.

James was also able to use a sharp body attack to keep Palmetta at bay, landing 68 throughout the fight, in vergelyking met net 20 from Palmetta. In round nine, a sharp right uppercut caused Palmetta to stumble and let to a raucous exchange that stirred James’ hometown fans.

The crowd again rose to their feet as James and Palmetta whipped power punches throughout the final moments of round 10. James kept his perfect record at The Armory intact by wide scores of 99-91 en 98-92 twee keer.

“I know I can be a champion again because I was a champion before,” said James. “I have to stay focused. Stay in the gym and back and study this fight – actually, my last two fights – and step it up. Thanks to everybody in Minneapolis for coming and showing me love.”

In die uitsending opener, super lightweight contenderElvis Rodriguez(14-1-1,12 Uitklophoue) overcame a slow start to earn a hard-fought majority decision over the hard-hittingJoseph Adorno(17-2-2, 14 Uitklophoue) na 10 rondes.

“Ring rust was definitely a factor,” said Rodriguez. “Maybe the struggle was more mental than physical in a way, but the important thing is that I overcame it.”

After a couple of rounds feeling each other out, Adorno was the first to have success, showing a varied attack with hooks to the body and head. He punctuated a strong fourth round with several counter hooks right before the closing bell.

In round five the action began to heat up, with Rodriguez starting to find a home for his offense as well, while still taking consistent return fire from Adorno. Rodriguez would eventually take control of the fight in the seventh roundlanding a perfect right hook that badly hurt Adorno. Rodriguez followed up quickly and forced Adorno to the canvas to score the knockdown, although Adorno was able to stay in the fight and make it through the round.

“I thought I had him once I landed that right hook, but he got up,” said Rodriguez. “He’s a warrior and a good fighter… The seventh round was huge, that’s when I truly started to win this fight. I have to give credit to Adorno for being savvy and knowing how to keep his distance before then.”

Rodriguez rode that momentum through the rest of the fight, out landing Adorno 52 te 33 across rounds seven through 10. The Freddie Roach-trained contender punctuated his victory in the final frame, landing a left that referee Jon Schorle ruled a knockdown, despite the objection from Adorno, who felt he was tripped during the exchange.

After the 10rounds Rodriguez emerged victorious on the judges’ cards, as one score of 94-94 was overruled by tallies of 95-93 en 97-91. Post-fight, Adorno expressed his belief that his early success was enough for him to earn a better result, while Rodriguez set his sights on the new 140-pound champion Matias.

I thought the judges were blind,” said Adorno. “I can’t get a win with these judges. I don’t know how you see the fight 97-91. I thought I won every round except the ones he dropped me. He never out worked me at all. I had the jab in his face and was snapping him to the body. He couldn’t do anything. No way he won seven rounds. Ek dink 94-94 was okay because of the two knockdowns.

“Like I said yesterday at the weigh-in, bring on the winner of the main event,” said Rodriguez. “And to my people in the Dominican Republic, just know that I’ll be back even bolder and even better next time.”

LAS VEGAS (Maart 18, 2022) - Onoorwonne stygende ster Tim Tszyu held a media workout in Las Vegas Thursday as he nears his much anticipated U.S. debut against U.S. Olimpiese Terrell Gausha taking place Saturday, Maart 26 live on SHOWTIME in a Premier Boxing Champions event from The Armory in Minneapolis.

The son of Hall of Famer Kostya, Tszyu arrived stateside last Saturday from his native Australia to finish training camp in Las Vegas before heading to Minneapolis. After amassing a 20-0 rekord met 15 uitklophoue, Tszyu looks to move himself one step closer to a title shot with an emphatic victory on March 26.

Kaartjies vir die geleentheid, wat bevorder deur TGB Promotions, No Limit Boxing and Warriors Boxing, are on sale now and can be purchased at the Armory at http://ArmoryMN.com/ and through Ticketmaster.

Here is what Tszyu and his trainer, Igor Goloubev, had to say Thursday from Left Right Boxing Gym in Las Vegas:

Tim Tszyu

“We’ve done a few camps here in Las Vegas before so we’re familiar with the terrain out here. It’s not too far to then go to Minneapolis, but it’s a lot warmer here is Las Vegas, so I’m glad I came here first. Adjusting to the time difference was tough at first but I’ve definitely recovered. By the time I arrived in Las Vegas, it was just about sharpening everything up.

“I’m coming to fight and I’m coming to win. I’m not here to ‘tip-tap’. If that means going for the knockout, I’ll go for it right away. I’m not here to out-jab someone and win on the scorecards. From the first second when the fight starts, my objective is to take him out. Every second of every round, I’m going to be in front of my opponent’s face.

“This has been a long time in the making. I’ve been keen on making my debut here ever since I beat Jeff Horn [Augustus 2020]. It’s good to finally be here and I’m quite excited to be on this platform. This is a real opportunity for me.

“My dad hasn’t talked to me too much about what to expect fighting in the U.S. Mostly he just reminds me to stay ready, which I always am. I’m a professional and I’m fighting nonstop. I don’t take rests or honeymoons like some of these other fighters.

“It’s a big deal for me to be in this position headlining on SHOWTIME. You dream of it as a kid, and now for it to actually be happening, it’s unreal. I’m the first Australian who’s had their U.S. debut as a headline act, having not even won a world title yet. It shows that what we’ve done so far is pretty good for the moment. We’re here to make statements.

“This is going to be an interesting fight. I’m quite interested to see what he’s going to bring. Gausha has the tools to win. He’s got great skills and quick hands and a good variety of punches. He does the simple things very well. I like those types of styles. I’ve sparred guys like that in the U.S. and it’s a fun style to fight against.

“I don’t look particularly big or strong, but when I get in the ring, I give off that dominance that says ‘this is my ring. This is what I do and you’re coming onto my stage’. I present that dominance straight away and let everyone know.

Tszyu on the Jermell Charlo vs. Brian Castaño 154-pound title rematch taking place May 14 on SHOWTIME”

“Charlo is a cautious fighter with power in both hands. He wobbled Castaño a few times. Charlo waits to land that perfect shot and that’s why Castano’s output wasn’t too high in that fight. I thought Castaño fought a great fight and out worked him. Charlo didn’t know what to do at times. I think it’s either going to be Castaño by decision or Charlo by knockout in the rematch.

“I’m coming for everyone in the division. I’m coming for the belts. You have to have confidence in yourself. I believe that I defeat either Charlo or Castaño. I wouldn’t be in the sport if I didn’t believe that. I’d take those guys to places they’ve never been and that’s all that matters to me.”

IGOR GOLOUBEV, Tszyu’s Trainer

“Tim is going to make adjustments, like he always does, based off what Gausha brings in the first round. Tim is an absolute pressure fighter. He’s going to be right on top of Gausha from the start. There’s going to be no rest and nowhere for him to go. This is going to be fought on the inside.

“Gausha is a crafty fighter. He’s got a good style from his amateur background and he’s also got strong legs and upper body. We’ve seen footage of him and we know that he can punch, that he’ll move and that he throws lots of jabs. He’s all-around a very good fighter.”
