HALL OF FAMER MANNY PACQUIAO SET TO CHASE HISTORY YET AGAIN THIS SATURDAY NIGHT – Boxing Luminaries Share Favorite “Manny Moments” & Preview Pacquiao vs. Barrios Showdown Ahead of Star-Studded Night

LAS VEGAS – July 15, 2025 -The fighting pride of the Philippines, an eight-division world champion and as of last month, an inductee into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. While it seems like the larger than lifeManny "Pacman" Pacquiaohas accomplished everything you can in the sport, he could add yet another chapter to his historic legacy this Saturday, Juli 19 when he challenges WBC Welterweight World ChampionMario “El Azteca” Barriosin the main event of a PBC Pay-Per-View event on Prime Video from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

In addition to becoming the first fighter to accomplish the incomprehensible feat of winning a world title after a Hall of Fame induction, Pacquiao could break his own record as the oldest welterweight world champion in history if he takes the WBC belt from Barrios. Pacquiao originally set the mark in July 2019, as he defeated the previously unbeaten Keith Thurman at 40-years-old. I en tid hvor superstjerner i 40-årene, som Tom Brady og LeBron James, fortsetter å utmerke seg på de høyeste nivåene, Pacquiao is out to prove once again that he’s a generational athlete that transcends the sport.

Pacquiao will return to the ring at a place that he’s made his own, the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, the fight capital of the world, as he makes his 16^th appearance at the venue, more than any fighter in the venue’s considerable history. With his 15^th main event on July 19, he ties the mark set by fellow legend Floyd Mayweather at the venue, and only trails Mayweather in total wins at the arena (15-10). The two inextricably linked all-time greats are also tied for the most title fights at MGM Grand with 12 each.

July 19, Pacquiao will be facing a foe with a familiar fighting heritage in the Mexican-American Barrios, as Pacquiao has defeated a who’s-who of Mexico’s best throughout his career. Since the year 2003, Pacquiao has beaten 12 Mexican or Mexican-American fighters including legends such as Juan Manuel Marquez, Oscar De La Hoya, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera and Antonio Margarito. These triumphs include some of Pacquiao’s most notable wins and helped him earn the attention and adoration of boxing’s rabid Mexican fanbase.

While racking up all of these accomplishments, Pacquiao has garnered respect from a wide range of boxing luminaries who have shared their favorite “Manny Moments” ahead of the July 19 begivenhet. Amongst those who spoke about Pacquiao were former opponents Thurman and Barrera, as well as former sparring partner and welterweight champion Shawn Porter.

“It’s never been about one moment for me when it comes to Manny Pacquiao,” said Thurman. “My favorite moment is any time he’s busted off those eight-punch combos. With an opponent on the ropes, world-class competition, and he just fires off an eight-set. It’s happened many times, but every time I’ve witnessed it, it’s sparked a little joy in my heart.”

“I have two favorite Manny moments, the first is when he beat Oscar De La Hoya, because I thought it was impossible,"Said Barrera. “I thought it would never happen and then De La Hoya remained seated and it was over. The second one was the way he beat Miguel Cotto. It was two Hall of Famers and Manny being really impressive in that weight class.

“What makes Manny so special is the bond and closeness with his fans. His heart is what makes everyone like him. He likes to put on a show, give it all for the fans, and most importantly, he becomes a warrior when he steps in the ring.”

“I have a rare Manny Pacquiao moment, because there aren’t too many that get to spar with the legend,” said Porter. “He flew me and my dad out to the Philippines and we met for the first time and he was like ‘okay this is gonna be fun.’ I was shocked because this was the first time that someone treated getting in the ring with me like it wasn’t a big deal…After I talked to my corner I turned around and took a step toward the center of the ring and it was like this moment came over me like ‘you’re sparring Manny Pacquiao.’ I was in a daze for like the first 10 sekunder. And he caught me with a good straight left hand in the first minute and it woke me up. I was like ‘that dude’s got some power’, and then we were off to the races.”

When prognosticating the results of this Saturday, Juli 19 matchup, the oddsmakers have installed the younger reigning champion Barrios as a betting favorite. Renowned trainer and boxing analyst Stephen “Breadman” Edwards agrees with the sentiment, emphasizing how gargantuan the task at hand is for the 46-year-old great.

“It would be an incredible feat for a 46-year-old fighter to come back and win the welterweight world title,” said Edwards. “It’s hard to even imagine someone being off for a few years and then coming back at 46 and winning it. In all honesty, I think that this may be an impossible task. If anyone can do it, Manny can do it, but right now I’m favoring Barrios.”

Despite the odds, several of the polled boxers are favoring Pacquiao to pull off the upset, including Porter, Barrera, and reigning WBA Super Lightweight World Champion Gary Antuanne Russell.

“Pacquiao is a punches in bunches type of guy and he can crack,"said Russell. “He’s shown that his punching power can get the job done. Barrios is youthful and a selective puncher. I don’t think he’s gonna be able to sit there and take pictures. Manny will make you pay if you wait too long. He’s always shown that he wants to get the fight going.

“Pacquiao is a high-tempo fighter and Barrios has struggled with that pace. Barrios is a tough competitor, but I feel like he still has a lot to learn. Manny has been in there with many champions and I believe he has the tools in his arsenal and that it’ll show the night of the fight. Barrios is gonna have to shock the world. He has to show enough to make Manny respect him. I’m leaning towards Manny being victorious, but may the best man win.”

“I do believe that Manny Pacquiao is gonna beat Mario Barrios,” said Porter. “I know that everyone is talking about his age. That’s the theme, can the old man beat the young man? I think this old man is always gonna be too much until he hangs up the gloves.”

“I think this will be a very interesting fight,” said Barrera. “Pacquiao is a superb warrior, an eight-division world champion who will give it his all and who likes to put on a show. This sets up to be a fight where we will really see these guys collide and make the fans the real winners.

“Barrios is an active defending champion, and while he’s not as complex as the other current champions, he will be dangerous once he steps into the ring. I would like to see Pacquiao win because of the legend that he is. I’ll go with Manny Pacquiao as the winner, but if Barrios wins, it’ll be because he proves that he’s the better fighter right now.”

No matter who you see winning on July 19, the evening is undoubtedly shaping up to be historic, and despite any doubts coming from the outside, Pacquiao has expressed the strong self-belief that he will leave the ring as world champion once again.

“The fire, determination and eagerness to work hard is still there," sa Pacquiao. “I’m still enjoying running the mountains. Not every fighter has this feeling. This is a blessing, because I’ve been through so many big fights in my career and I’m still here. I’m back…It would mean a lot for me to become world champion again. Manny Pacquiao is always giving surprises to the fans. That’s my passion.”

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, Juli 19

Juli 12, 2025 FNU47 Legg igjen en kommentar

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

RIVERSIDE, SLIK AS. – 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, Juli 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," sa 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," sa 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 til 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," sa 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," sa 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," sa 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**

Til tross for 17 års aldersforskjell mellom disse to fighterne, begge er forent i ønsket om å levere tå-til-tå action for boksefans som kampstoltheten til FilippineneManny Pacquiaodueller WBC verdensmester i weltervektMario Barriosi 12-runde hovedarrangementet.

Han eier allerede en karriere som har sett ham tjene flere utmerkelser enn det som kan vises på trykk, Pacquiao kan etse navnet sitt inn i et annet kapittel i historiebøkene ved å gå rett fra Hall of Fame-induksjonen i juni til en verdensmesterskapsvinnende forestilling i juli 19. I en tid hvor superstjerner i 40-årene, som Tom Brady og LeBron James, fortsetter å utmerke seg på de høyeste nivåene, Pacquiao kan slå sin egen rekord som den eldste verdensmesteren i weltervekt i historien med seier over Barrios, etter opprinnelig å sette preg på 40 år i sin 2019 triumf over Keith Thurman.

Den filippinske legenden vil ha en stor oppgave foran seg for å oppnå denne bragden, som seks fots Barrios vil bringe en nesten syv-tommers høyde fordel i sitt andre forsvar av WBC-tittelen. En verdensmester i to divisjoner, Barrios representerer sin aztekiske arv hver gang han går inn i ringen med en all-action stil som har levert en rekke elektriske sammenstøt og som bør kombineres med den alltid hardladende Pacquiao for eksplosiv action. Ser etter en signaturseier for å skille seg fra de andre titteleierne i boksingens historiske glamourdivisjon, Barrios vil uten tvil være opptatt av å oppheve Pacquiaos kroning når de starter i juli 19.

En tre ganger Årets Fighter og engangs Boxing Writers Association of America's Fighter of the Decade, Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs), som kommer fra Sarangani-provinsen på Filippinene, er den eneste sittende kongressmedlem og senator som har vunnet en verdenstittel. Etter å ha tjent to perioder som kongressmedlem, Pacquiao ble valgt til et filippinsk senat i mai 2016. Pacquiaos bokse-CV inneholder seire over åtte nåværende Hall of Famers, inkludert Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, Tim Bradley og Juan Manuel Marquez.

Pacquiaos siste løp i 147-pund-divisjonen så ham sendt ut av den tidligere fire-divisjonens verdensmester Adrien Broner i januar 2019, før han beseiret den da ubeseirede og regjerende WBA-verdensmesteren i weltervekt Keith Thurman i juli samme år. Pacquiaos triumf over Thurman så ham sende Thurman til lerretet i runde én, første gang Thurman hadde vært nede i karrieren, på vei til å kante en avgjørelse i en 2019 Konkurrent til årets kamp. Pacquiao ville komme til kort i sin neste konkurranse, droppe en beslutning om å erstatte Yordenis Ugas sent, som gikk inn på kort varsel for å erstatte en skadet Errol Spence Jr. i august 2021.

«Boksing er min lidenskap, og jeg er så spent på å være tilbake i ringen," sa Pacquiao. «MGM Grand er som mitt andre hjem i karrieren, og det er et sted hvor jeg har hatt så mange minneverdige kamper, inkludert mitt U.S. debut. Den første tittelen jeg noen gang vant var en WBC-tittel, og nå er jeg tilbake for å kjempe om WBC-tittelen igjen. Mario Barrios er akkurat den typen mester jeg liker å kjempe mot, fordi han er en ekte meksikansk kriger som Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera og Juan Manuel Marquez. Kom juli 19, det kommer til å bli en fantastisk kveld for fansen.»

Den 29 år gamle Barrios (29-2-1, 18 KOs) stemplet sin plass blant weltervekteliten i september 2023 da han droppet tidligere mester Yordenis Ugas to ganger for å fange det midlertidige beltet ved enstemmig beslutning. Barrios fulgte det opp ved å sende Fabian Maidana til lerretet også på vei mot nok en dominerende avgjørelsesseier, og ble hevet til WBC verdensmester i weltervekt etter kampen. Hans første forsvar av tittelen inneholdt Barrios som gikk tå-til-tå med Abel Ramos i en av 2024s beste kamper i aksjon som fikk begge menn til å score knockdowns og som til slutt endte i en delt uavgjort og Barrios beholdt beltet.

Før han løp på 147 pund, Barrios var verdensmester på 140 pund, kanter ut Batyr Akhmedov i september 2019 med en clutch 12^th-runde knockdown som beseglet seieren hans på målkortene. Gjennom hele karrieren, Barrios' eneste to tap har kommet mot to av tidens beste jagerfly på fem ganger, tredivisjonsmesteren Gervonta Davis og den tidligere verdensmesteren Keith Thurman i enhetlig weltervekt. Representerer hjemlandet San Antonio, Texas, Barrios trener i Las Vegas med topptrener Bob Santos.

“Å dele ringen med en legende som Manny Pacquiao er en ære, men en gang ringer klokken, det er all virksomhet,”Sa Barrios. "Jeg respekterer alt han har gjort i sporten, men i juli 19, Jeg forsvarer det som er mitt. Dette er ikke bare en kamp – det er en arv-kamp, ikke bare for meg, men for alle de meksikanske fansen også. Å slå Pacquiao setter navnet mitt i en annen samtale. Pacquiao er en Hall of Famer av en grunn. Han er rask, eksplosive, og farlig til enhver tid. Men jeg er yngre, jeg er mer sulten, og jeg er mesteren av en grunn. Jeg kommer inn med alt jeg har. Å slåss i Vegas er alltid spesielt, men denne begivenheten er en virkelig massiv scene, og jeg er klar til å vise meg ut for verden.”

**SEBASTIAN FUNDORA VS. TIM TSZYU II**

To av toppkjemperne i den stablede divisjonen på 154 pund, WBC verdensmester i weltervektSebastian "The Towering Inferno" Fundoraog australsk superstjerneTim Tszyumøtes i en 12-runders omkamp etter at deres første kamp fikk Tszyu påført et grusomt kutt i runde tre av en utilsiktet Fundora-albue. Den daværende WBO-mesteren på 154 pund Tszyu valgte å kjempe videre i stedet for å bøye seg på grunn av kuttet, mistet tittelen til slutt, sammen med det da ledige WBC-beltet, til Fundora ved en nær beslutning. July 19, disse to rivalene ser etter å gjøre opp poengsummen og fastslå hvem som er nummer én på 154 pund.

Fundora (22-1-1, 14 KOs) raket til toppen av superweltervektsdivisjonen med den seieren over Tszyu, og sist gjorde et vellykket tittelforsvar i mars ved å slå ut toppkonkurrenten Chordale Booker i runde fire på Prime Video. Innfødt av Coachella, California, Fundora viste spesielt sin dyktighet i april 2022, kjempet mot hardtslående Erickson Lubin på et øyeblikk 2022 Konkurrent til årets kamp. Til tross for at begge mennene traff lerretet, Fundora sto høyt til slutt, som fikk Lubins corner til å stoppe kampen på slutten av den niende runden. 27-åringen har beseiret en rekke utfordrere gjennom karrieren, med sitt eneste nederlag kom til Brian Mendoza inn 2023. Fundora representerer en av boksingens mest dyktige familier, da han blir trent av faren Freddy sammen med sin yngre søster, ubestridt verdensmester i fluevekt Gabriela. De to kjempende Fundoras er den første broren og søsteren som samtidig holder verdensmesterskap.

“Jeg er mer enn glad for å respektere Tims omkampsklausul," sa Fundora. «Jeg forventer at Tim er i optimal form. Fans bør ikke forvente annet enn en veldig underholdende voldelig visning.”

Etter 2024 så Tszyu (25-2, 18 KOs) tape en andre kamp på rad til IBF 154-pund-mester Bakhram Murtazaliev etter Fundora-kampen, 30-åringen kom nylig tilbake til aksjon i april ved å stoppe den unge konkurrenten Joey Spencer i runde fire i Australia. Tszyu kom inn i den første Fundora-kampen av en rødglødende 2023 kampanje som så ham hevet til verdensmester på 154 pund mens han beseiret den tidligere verdensmesteren Tony Harrison, topputfordrer Brian Mendoza og tidligere tittelutfordrer Carlos Ocampo. Innfødt i Sydney, Australia, Tszyu debuterte i USA mot U.S. Olympian Terrell Gausha i mars 2022, tjene en enstemmig beslutning. Tszyu vokste opp med å spille fotball, men gikk snart over til boksing. Avgjørelsen førte til at han fulgte i farens legendariske fotspor, Kostya, som var en ubestridt mester på 140 pund.

«Du lever for disse øyeblikkene i boksing,sa Tszyu. "Jeg er velsignet over å gå gjennom det igjen - å skrive om kapitlet. Selv med de dårlige minnene og demonene fra den første kampen, dette er hva vekst betyr som menneske. Jeg kan gå gjennom helvete og komme tilbake på toppen. Denne gangen har jeg en hel 12-ukers leir fokusert på Fundora – ikke noen få dagers varsel – og jeg tar med meg den intensiteten. Jeg har en liten plass avsatt til det grønne beltet. Jeg er klar til å hente den."

**ISAAC CRUZ VS. ANGEL FIERRO II**

I nok en etterlengtet omkamp, hardladende meksikansk fan-favorittIsaac "Pitbull" Cruzvil gå inn igjen mot sin maktpåvirkende landsmannIsaac Fierronår de møtes i en 12-runders superlett omkamp. I deres første kamp, Cruz og Fierro kjempet om hverandre 10 høyoktan runder som så dem kombineres for å kaste over 1400 punches, med Cruz som tok avgjørelsen hjem. Mens Cruz ute landet Fierro 142 til 113 over de fem første rundene, Fierro var sterkere i andre omgang, landing 132 skudd til Cruz 106.

Bæret videre av sin lidenskapelige fanskare, Cross (27-3-1, 18 KOs) ble verdensmester i mars 2024 da han skadet Rolly Romero stygt i runde én før han til slutt avsluttet kampen i runde åtte via TKO for å ta WBA-tittelen. Sist, Cruz kom tilbake fra et tap for Jose Valenzuela av den utslitte landsmannen Fierro i den avgjørelsestriumfen i februar. Innfødt i Mexico City, Cruz skjøt opp på rangeringen 2020, kunngjorde sin tilstedeværelse med en elektriserende knockout i første runde over veteranen Diego Magdaleno i oktober før han la til dominerende avgjørelser over Francisco Vargas og Jose Matias Romero. Denne oppgangen førte til at den 26 år gamle utfordrende ubeseirede superstjernen Gervonta Davis i desember 2021, en kamp som fikk Cruz til å tape ved avgjørelse om å bli bare den andre jagerflyen på den tiden for å se den siste klokken mot Davis. Opplært av faren Isaac Cruz Sr., Cruz eier også stoppseire over tidligere mester Yuriorkis Gamboa og veterankonkurrenten Eduardo Ramirez, i tillegg til en 12-runders avgjørelse over den da ubeseirede Giovanni Cabrera.

«Jeg ser frem til å kjempe mot Angel Fierro igjen,"Sa Cruz. «Jeg vet at jeg vant den første kampen, men jeg føler at jeg kan gjøre det enda bedre denne gangen. Dette kommer til å bli mer av den meksikanske boksingen som fansen ønsker å se. Jeg kjemper for fansen, og jeg gleder meg til å gi dem mer action 19. juli.»

Opprinnelig fra Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, Fierro (22-3-2, 17 KOs) kjemper nå ut av San Diego og har skapt seg et navn med sin aggressive stil og slagkraft. 26-åringen har kjempet profesjonelt siden 2015 og var ubeseiret i sin første 17 utflukter. Han kunngjorde sin tilstedeværelse som en verdenskandidat i 2021 med en karrierebeste seier da han reiste seg fra lerretet for å stoppe tidligere verdensmester Alberto Machado i runde seks. Før Cruz-kampen, Fierro fikk en seiersrekke på tre kamper da han tapte en avgjørelse i juni mot Alfredo Santiago, med det eneste andre tapet i Fierros karriere som kom via delt avgjørelse i januar 2020 mot Alex Martin. februar 1 kampen mot Cruz markerte Fierros tredje karrierekamp i staten, og hans første siden flertallet mot Juan Carlos Burgos i mars 2022.

"Det er en ære å kjempe på MGM Grand hvor mitt idol Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.. hadde så mange kamper," sa Fierro. «Jeg vil hedre ham ved igjen å vise ekte meksikansk boksing for verden. Jeg føler at jeg slo "Pitbull" i den første kampen, og jeg skal bevise det andre gang. Jeg kommer til å vinne!"

**BRANDON FIGUEROA VS. JOET GONZALEZ**

En av sportens fremste actionkjempere, tidligere todivisjonsmesterBrandon «The Heartbreaker» Figueroavil gå tilbake til kamp mot toppkandidatenJoe Gonzalez i en 10-runders fjærvektsattraksjon som vil se vinneren hvelvet tilbake til verdenstittelbildet.

Den 28 år gamle Figueroa (25-2-1, 19 KOs) vil prøve å komme tilbake etter å ha mistet tittelen på 126 pund ved avgjørelse i sin omkamp i februar mot Stephen Fulton Jr.. Figueroa hadde blitt hevet til WBC fjærvekt verdensmester før kampen, etter at Rey Vargas ble erklært mester i friminuttet. Figueroa vant den midlertidige WBC fjærvekttittelen i en 2023 Fight of the Year-utfordrer som fikk ham til å score en enstemmig avgjørelse over den tidligere mesteren Mark Magsayo. Han kom tilbake i mai i fjor for å forsvare sin midlertidige tittel med en knockout i niende runde av den tidligere mesteren Jessie Magdaleno, økende seiersrekke den gang til tre strake. Innfødt fra Weslaco, Texas, Figueroa sitt nådeløse press og ungdommelige entusiasme hjalp ham til å bli den første personen til å beseire den tidligere todivisjonsmesteren Luis Nery i mai. 2021 mesterskapssammenstøt, da han stoppet Nery med et kroppsskudd i runde sju. Figueroa bidro til familiens arv ved å erobre WBC 122-punds verdensmesterskap mot Nery, sammen med broren Omar Figueroa Jr., som tidligere holdt WBC lettvekts verdensmesterskap.

«Jeg trener i L.A. nå med Manny Robles og alt har gått bra," sa Figueroa. «Jeg forventer en god kamp og at jeg ikke trenger å lete etter ham for å gjøre en spennende kamp for fansen. Så forvent en all-action throwdown. Jeg føler at jeg skylder fansen min etter min siste opptreden. Jeg vil bare være mer aktiv i år og gi fansen mer av «The Heartbreaker».

Fighting ut av Los Angeles, Gonzalez (27-4, 15 KOs) vender tilbake til ringen etter å ha tjent en avgjørende seier over andre konkurrenten Arnold Khegai i mars. 31-åringen meldte seg som proff 2012 med 23 strake seire, tjene en verdenstittel mot Shakur Stevenson i 2019 at han til slutt ville droppe ved avgjørelse. Gonzalez ville fortsette å utfordre om fjærvekt-verdenstitlene to ganger til, tapte avgjørelser til Emanuel Navarrete i oktober 2021 og Luis Alberto Lopez i september 2023. Gonzalez var en oppsiktsvekkende og dyktig amatørkjemper, med sin CV inkludert to seire over Gervonta Davis.

«Dette er en ny mulighet for meg, og jeg planlegger å kjempe mot en veldig tøff motstander i Brandon Figueroa,"Sa Gonzalez. "Jeg trener veldig hardt som jeg alltid gjør, og fansen kommer til å få en spennende kamp og et minneverdig show. Vi er begge krigere som dukker opp for å vinne den kvelden, så forvent fyrverkeri."

Her er hva jagerfly hadde å si torsdag:

CALEB ANLEGG

“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.”

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 KOs) 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. Innfødt av Coachella, California, Fundora viste spesielt sin dyktighet i april 2022, kjempet mot hardtslående Erickson Lubin på et øyeblikk 2022 Konkurrent til årets kamp. Til tross for at begge mennene traff lerretet, Fundora sto høyt til slutt, som fikk Lubins corner til å stoppe kampen på slutten av den niende runden.

27-åringen har beseiret en rekke utfordrere gjennom karrieren, med sitt eneste nederlag kom til Brian Mendoza inn 2023. Fundora representerer en av boksingens mest dyktige familier, da han blir trent av faren Freddy sammen med sin yngre søster, ubestridt verdensmester i fluevekt Gabriela. De to kjempende Fundoras er den første broren og søsteren som samtidig holder verdensmesterskap.

“I’m preparing really hard to defend my unified WBC and WBO world titles on March 22 i Las Vegas," sa 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 KOs) 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, inkludert 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 US-. OL-laget.

“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. Nå, 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 KOs) 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.

En innfødt av Casa Grande, Arizona., 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 motstandere.

“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.”

Innfødt i Mexico City, Salgado (17-2-1, 10 KOs) 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. debut i 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. Mars 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.

Kjempe ut av Phoenix, Arizona, García (16-1, 13 KOs) 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,sa 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.”

Et medlem av 2012 US-. OL-laget, Gausha (24-4-1, 12 KOs) 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 verden tittel kampen.

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. Mars 22 people will know why I’ve been at this level for so long. I’m going to make a statement for sure.”

Fans kan forvente å se alle disse konkurrentene gi alt de har for å gå seirende ut på SHOWTIME PPV på T-Mobile Arena i Las Vegas.»

En sterk sørpote som kl 22 har ennå ikke vært i nærheten av å treffe taket som fighter, Ramos (20-0, 16 KOs) lynet da ubeseiret Joey Spencer i mars, slippe ham i runde én før han stoppet i runde sju for å tjene TKO i sin oppsiktsvekkende 2023 debut på underkortet til David Benavidez vs. Caleb Plant på SHOWTIME PPV. En innfødt av Casa Grande, Arizona., Ramos eier også back-to-back 10-runders enstemmige avgjørelser over Brian Mendoza og Javier Molina i 2021, som han fulgte opp med å beseire Luke Santamaria og Vladimir Hernandez i 2022. Samlet, den ungdommelige Ramos har fått anerkjennelse med KO-er på høydepunkter, stopper syv av hans siste 10 motstandere, viser sine ferdigheter og evner til å avslutte kampene tidlig.

“Jeg er spent på å være en del av dette enorme kortet mot en tøff motstander 30. september, sa Ramos. «Jeg vet at Lubin trener hardt og kommer for å vinne, som vil gi en underholdende kamp. Hele dette kortet er stablet og vi ønsker ikke å skuffe, så fansen er inne for en flott natt med boksing.”

Den 27 år gamle Lubin (25-2, 18 KOs) returnerte til ringen i juni for å levere et imponerende stopp i femte runde av veteranen Luis Arias, som aldri hadde blitt stoppet tidligere. Lubins forrige utflukt så ham gå tå-til-tå i en av 2022s beste kamper, da han byttet knockdowns med andre konkurrent Sebastian Fundora på SHOWTIME i april 2022. På vei inn i Fundora-kampen, Lubin hadde satt sammen en imponerende seiersrekke på seks kamper siden tapet for den gang sammenslåtte og nå ubestridte 154-pundsmesteren Jermell Charlo i 2017, et løp som inkluderte triumfer over Jeison Rosario, Terrell Gausha og Ishe Smith. Innfødt i Orlando, Fla., Lubin ble proff kl 18 år gammel i 2013 og ble en av de yngste prospektene som noensinne har dukket opp i utviklingsserienSHOBOX: Den nye generasjonen^®,oppnå "Prospect Of The Year"-utmerkelser fra ESPN og Ring Magazine i 2016.

«Jeg vet at verden vil se på i september 30 og jeg planlegger å vinne på en stor måte,sa Lubin. "Vi har en ung og talentfull fighter foran oss, men jeg er ung og talentfull også. Forskjellen er at jeg har kjempet mot kremen av divisjonen på 154 pund. Spiller ingen rolle om det er Olympians, topputsikter, utfordrere eller mestere, Jeg har tatt dem på meg. Jeg har en stor chip på skulderen og det vet jeg med denne seieren, Jeg vil være i en megakamp. Jeg trener ekstremt hardt, og hele verden vil se det lønne seg.»

Ugas (27-5, 12 KOs) vil gå tilbake til handling i september 30 for første gang siden april 2022 foreningskampen tap til Errol Spence Jr. på SHOWTIME PPV. Han etablerte seg som en elite-weltervekt etter at han kom tilbake fra en mer enn to år lang pause i 2016 etter rygg mot rygg tap i 2014. Han slo lappen som verdensmester i januar 2021 etter å ha vunnet et WBA-belte ved å beseire Abel Ramos i september 2020. Han befestet sin verdensmesterskapsstatus i august 2021, da han gikk inn for en skadet Spence for å beseire den legendariske fremtidige Hall of Famer Manny Pacquiao ved enstemmig avgjørelse. Kommer fra Santiago, Cuba og bor nå i Miami, Florida, den olympiske bronsevinneren trener i Las Vegas med den anerkjente treneren Ismael Salas og eier seire over da ubeseirede jagerfly Jamal James, Omar Figueroa Jr. og Bryant Perrella, pluss veteranutfordrerne Thomas Dulorme og Ray Robinson.

"Både jeg og Mario Barrios har mye å vinne med en seier i september 30, så jeg vet at denne kampen kommer til å bli en å huske,sa Ugas. «Jeg har enorm respekt for Barrios. Han er en ekte kriger som har vært i ringen med de beste av dem, men jeg har tillit til at jeg vil vinne. Jeg har mye kamp igjen i meg og mine beste ferdigheter vil vises i denne kampen. Hjemlandet og livet, Jeg kjemper for folket mitt.»

Den 28 år gamle Barrios (27-2, 18 KOs) scoret sist en sensasjonell knockout av Jovanie Santiago i februar og stoppet Santiago i åttende runde. Barrios' forrige kamp var hans weltervektdebut da han droppet en hardt omkjempet avgjørelse til den tidligere enhetsmesteren Keith Thurman i februar 2022. San Antonio-produktet, som nå trener med topptrener Bob Santos i Las Vegas, ble verdensmester på 140 pund i september 2019, bruker sin aggressive stil for å vinne Batyr Akhmedov og få en enstemmig avgjørelse. Barrios mistet den superlette tittelen i en annen actionfylt, svært konkurransedyktig kamp, da han ble beseiret av tredivisjons- og femdobbelt verdensmester Gervonta Davis i juni 2021.

«Denne kampen kommer til å bli en krig, fordi vi begge kjemper med mye hjerte og ingen av oss trekker seg noen gang,”Sa Barrios. "Jeg gleder meg til å konkurrere i en kamp som dette på et av årets største kort. Dette kommer til å bli en flott natt med boksing fra start til slutt, og de meksikanske fansen kan forvente å se en eksplosiv opptreden fra «El Azteca»!"

Kjempe ut av Phoenix, Arizona, Garcia (15-0, 12 KOs) er en av 2023s største breakout-stjerner. Han brast inn på scenen i mars ved å sprenge den tidligere ubeseirede Amilcar Vidal i fjerde runde for å kunngjøre sin tilstedeværelse på 160 pund. 20-åringen fulgte opp den prestasjonen ved å dominere veteranen Kevin Salgado på vei til en enstemmig avgjørelse i april om SHOWTIME PPV-underkortet til Gervonta Davis vs.. Ryan Garcia. Den tidlige Garcia har beveget seg raskt siden han ble proff 2020 og har slått ut seks av sine siste åtte motstandere.

"Dette er min andre kamp i år på et stort pay-per-view-kort, og jeg er superspent og enda mer forberedt enn første gang,sa Garcia. «Reséndiz er en sulten fighter akkurat som meg selv, så jeg er ikke i tvil om at vi kommer til å sette på et helvetes show for alle fansen som ser på.»

Den 24 år gamle Reséndiz(14-1, 10 KOs) vant en karriere-beste seier i sin siste utflukt da han stoppet den tidligere forente mesteren Jarrett Hurd i 10^th og siste runde av mars-oppgjøret deres på SHOWTIME. Reséndiz ledet på alle tre kortene da kampen ble stoppet på grunn av en alvorlig rift på Hurds leppe. Innfødt fra Nayarit, Mexico, han kjemper nå ut av Los Angeles og vil se etter tre strake seire siden et nært tap for Marcos Hernandez i september 2021. Reséndiz ble proff i februar 2018 og gjorde et vellykket U.S. debut i april 2021 med en avgjørelsesseier over Quilisto Wood.

"Jeg er veldig glad for å ha denne store muligheten til å konkurrere på et så viktig kampkort," sa Reséndiz. "Jeg er spent på å realisere drømmen min om å kjempe i Las Vegas, akkurat som bokseidolene mine som jeg så på TV. Jeg har hatt en fantastisk treningsleir som vil hjelpe meg å se best ut i september 30 og gi en forestilling verdig bokselegendene som inspirerer meg.»

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 KOs) 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, men akkurat nå, 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 KOs) came out extremely aggressive and looked to swarm Matias early as he threw 96 punches in round one, out landing Matias 28 til 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.”

Etter kampen, with his IBF belt in tow, Matias set his sights on a unification showdown against WBC 140-pound World Champion Regis Prograis.

“Regis Prograis, I’m coming for you,” 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.”

I co-main event, Minneapolis-native and welterweight contenderJamal “Shango” James(28-2, 12 KOs) 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 KOs).

“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 til 111, inkludert 153 til 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, sammenlignet med bare 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 og 98-92 to ganger.

“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.”

I fjernsynsåpneren, super lightweight contenderElvis Rodriguez(14-1-1,12 KOs) overcame a slow start to earn a hard-fought majority decision over the hard-hittingJoseph Adorno(17-2-2, 14 KOs) etter 10 runder.

“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 round, landing 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 til 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 og 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. I thought 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.”
