Canelo Promotions Presents a Premier Boxing Champions

Pay-Per-View from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS – August 25, 2023 -Three matchups featuring rising stars, top contenders and former world champions from 147 da 160 pounds will highlight a robust pay-per-view undercard leading up to theCanelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charloundisputed super middleweight championship clash on Saturday, September 30 live on SHOWTIME PPV from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Canelo Promotions will present the Premier Boxing Champions Pay-Per-View.

V so-glavni dogodek, undefeated sensationJesus “Mono” Ramos Jr.,will take on hard-hitting top contenderErickson "Hammer" Lubinin a 12-round super welterweight special attraction. The pay-per-view also includes former world championsYordenis ugasinMario “El Azteca” Barriosgoing toe-to-toefor the Interim WBC Welterweight Title. Opening up the action at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT are rising middleweightsElijah GarciainArmando Reséndiz squaring off in a 10-round attraction.

Vstopnice za dogodek v živo, which is promoted by Canelo Promotions and TGB Promotions, are available through AXS.com.

“These three matchups deliver everything boxing fans could hope for in a pay-per-view undercard and are worthy of the historic main event clash they will lead up to,« je rekel Tom Brown, Predsednik TGB Promocije. “Each fighter stepping into the ring has an opportunity to catapult themselves to the top of their respective division with a win on September 30. Fans can expect to see all of these competitors give everything they have to emerge victorious on SHOWTIME PPV at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.”

A strong southpaw who at 22 has yet to come close to hitting his ceiling as a fighter, Ramos (20-0, 16 Kos) blitzed then-unbeaten Joey Spencer in March, dropping him in round one before stopping him in round seven to earn the TKO in his sensational 2023 debut on the undercard of David Benavidez vs. Caleb Plant on SHOWTIME PPV. A native of Casa Grande, Arizoni., Ramos also owns back-to-back 10-round unanimous decisions over Brian Mendoza and Javier Molina in 2021, which he followed up by defeating Luke Santamaria and Vladimir Hernandez in 2022. Skupni, the youthful Ramos has gained recognition with highlight-reel KOs, stopping seven of his last 10 nasprotniki, showcasing his skills and ability to end his fights early.

I’m excited to be part of this huge card against a tough opponent on September 30,” said Ramos. “I know Lubin is training hard and coming to win, which will make for an entertaining fight. This whole card is stacked and we don’t want to disappoint, so the fans are in for a great night of boxing.

The 27-year-old Lubin (25-2, 18 Kos) returned to the ring in June to deliver an impressive fifth-round stoppage of veteran Luis Arias, who had never been stopped previously. Lubin’s previous outing saw him go toe-to-toe in one of 2022’s best fights, as he traded knockdowns with fellow contender Sebastian Fundora on SHOWTIME in April 2022. Heading into the Fundora fight, Lubin had put together an impressive six-bout winning streak since a loss to then unified and now undisputed 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo in 2017, a run that included triumphs over Jeison Rosario, Terrell Gausha and Ishe Smith. A native of Orlando, Fla., Lubin turned pro at 18 years old in 2013 and became one of the youngest prospects to ever appear on the developmental seriesSHOBOX: New Generation®,earning “Prospect Of The Year” honors from ESPN and Ring Magazine in 2016.

“I know the world will be watching on September 30 and I plan on winning in a big way,” said Lubin. “We’ve got a young and talented fighter in front of us, but I’m young and talented as well. The difference is that I’ve fought the cream of the crop of the 154-pound division. Doesn’t matter if it’s Olympians, top prospects, contenders or champions, I’ve taken them on. I have a big chip on my shoulder and I know that with this win, I’ll be in a mega fight. I’m training extremely hard and the whole world will see it pay off.”

ugas (27-5, 12 Kos) will step back into action on September 30 for the first time since an April 2022 unification bout defeat to Errol Spence Jr. on SHOWTIME PPV. He established himself as an elite welterweight after returning from a more than two-year layoff in 2016 following back-to-back losses in 2014. He punched his ticket as a world champion in January 2021 after winning a WBA belt by defeating Abel Ramos in September 2020. He solidified his world-championship status in August 2021, when he stepped in for an injured Spence to defeat legendary future Hall of Famer Manny Pacquiao by unanimous decision. Hailing from Santiago, Cuba and now living in Miami, Florida, the Olympic bronze medalist trains in Las Vegas with renowned coach Ismael Salas and owns victories over then undefeated fighters Jamal James, Omar Figueroa Jr. and Bryant Perrella, plus veteran contenders Thomas Dulorme and Ray Robinson.

“Both me and Mario Barrios have a lot to gain with a victory on September 30, so I know that this fight is going to be one to remember,” said Ugas. “I have tremendous respect for Barrios. He’s a true warrior who’s been in the ring with the best of them, but I have confidence that I’ll be victorious. I have a lot of fight left in me and my best skills will be on display in this fight. Patria y Vida, I fight for my people.”

The 28-year-old Barrios (27-2, 18 Kos) most recently scored a sensational knockout of Jovanie Santiago in February stopping Santiago in the eighth-round. Barrios’ previous fight was his welterweight debut as he dropped a hard-fought decision to former unified champion Keith Thurman in February 2022. The San Antonio-product, who now trains with top coach Bob Santos in Las Vegas, became a 140-pound world champion in September 2019, using his aggressive style to edge out Batyr Akhmedov and earn a unanimous decision. Barrios lost the super lightweight title in another action packed, highly competitive bout, as he was defeated by three-division and five-time world champion Gervonta Davis in June 2021.

“This fight is going to be a war, because we both fight with a lot of heart and neither of us ever backs down,” said Barrios. “I can’t wait to compete in a matchup like this on one of the biggest cards of the year. This is going to be a great night of boxing from start to finish and the Mexican fans can expect to see an explosive performance from ‘El Azteca’

Boj od Phoenix, Arizona, Garcia (15-0, 12 Kos) is one of 2023’s biggest breakout stars He burst onto the scene in March by blasting out the previously unbeaten Amilcar Vidal in the fourth-round to announce his presence at 160-pounds. The 20-year-old followed up that performance by dominating veteran Kevin Salgado on his way to a unanimous decision in April on the SHOWTIME PPV undercard of Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia. The precocious Garcia has moved fast since turning pro in 2020 and has knocked out six of his last eight opponents.

“This is my second fight this year on a huge pay-per-view card and I’m super excited and even more prepared than the first time,” said Garcia. “Reséndiz is a hungry fighter just like myself, so I have no doubt that we are going to put on a hell of a show for all the fans watching.”

The 24-year-old Reséndiz(14-1, 10 Kos) earned a career-best victory in his last outing as he stopped former unified champion Jarrett Hurd in the 10th and final round of their March showdown on SHOWTIME. Reséndiz led on all three cards when the bout was stopped due to a severe laceration on Hurd’s lip. A native of Nayarit, Mexico, he now fights out of Los Angeles and will look to make it three-straight wins since a close decision loss to Marcos Hernandez in September 2021. Reséndiz turned pro in February 2018 and made a successful U.S. debut in April 2021 with a decision victory over Quilisto Madera.

“I’m very happy to have this great opportunity to compete on such an important fight card,” said Reséndiz. “I’m excited to realize my dream of fighting in Las Vegas, just like my boxing idols that I watched on TV. I’ve had an amazing training camp that will help me look my best on September 30 and put on a performance worthy of the boxing legends who inspire me.”

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 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, ampak zdaj, 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 da 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, pristanek 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.”

Po boju, 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.”

V so-glavni dogodek, 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 da 111, vključno z možnostjo 153 da 102 edge in power punches.

James was also able to use a sharp body attack to keep Palmetta at bay, pristanek 68 throughout the fight, v primerjavi s samo 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 in 98-92 dvakrat.

“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 the telecast opener, 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) po 10 krogi.

“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 da 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 in 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.”

Prior to the telecast, the SHOWTIME BOXING COUNTDOWN show streamed live on theSHOWTIME SPORTS YouTube channel inSHOWTIME Boks Facebook stran and was topped by a welterweight matchup that saw Minneapolis-nativeVe’Shawn Owens(14-3, 12 Kos) rezultat soglasno odločitev nadKudratillo Abdukakhorov(18-2, 10 Kos) after 10-rounds.

LAS VEGAS (Marec 18, 2022) - Nepremagan vzhajajoča zvezda Tim Tszyu je v četrtek organiziral medijsko vadbo v Las Vegasu, ko se približuje svoji težko pričakovani ZDA. debi proti U.S. Olympian Terrell Gausha ki poteka v soboto, Marec 26 v živo na SHOWTIME na dogodku Premier Boxing Champions iz The Armory v Minneapolisu.

Sin Hall of Famer Kostya, Tszyu je preteklo soboto prispel v državo iz rodne Avstralije, da bi končal trening kamp v Las Vegasu, preden se je odpravil v Minneapolis. Po nabiranju a 20-0 zapis z 15 Knockouts, Tszyu se bo z odločno zmago marca približal še korak bližje naslovu 26.

Vstopnice za dogodek, ki ga spodbuja TGB Promocije, Boks brez omejitev in boks bojevnikov, so zdaj v prodaji in jih je mogoče kupiti v Armory na http://ArmoryMN.com/ in prek Ticketmasterja.

Tukaj je kaj Tszyu in njegov trener, Igor Goloubev, moral povedati v četrtek iz Left Right Boxing Gym v Las Vegasu:

TIM TSZYU

»Tu v Las Vegasu smo že opravili nekaj taborov, tako da poznamo teren tukaj. Ni predaleč, da bi potem šli v Minneapolis, ampak tukaj je Las Vegas veliko topleje, zato sem vesel, da sem prišel prvi. Prilagajanje na časovno razliko je bilo sprva težko, vendar sem si zagotovo opomogel. Ko sem prispel v Las Vegas, šlo je samo za izostritev vsega.

»Prihajam se borit in prihajam zmagati. Nisem tukaj, da bi 'tip-tap'. Če to pomeni, da gredo na nokaut, Takoj se bom lotil. Nisem tukaj, da bi nekoga premagal in zmagal na lestvicah. Od prve sekunde, ko se boj začne, moj cilj je, da ga odstranim. Vsako sekundo vsakega kroga, Postal bom nasprotniku pred obrazom.

»To je bilo dolgo časa v nastajanju. Že odkar sem premagal Jeffa Horna, si želim debitirat tukaj [Avgust 2020]. Dobro je, da sem končno tukaj in zelo sem navdušen, da sem na tej platformi. To je zame prava priložnost.

»Oče se z mano ni preveč pogovarjal o tem, kaj lahko pričakujem v boju v ZDA. Večinoma me samo opomni, naj ostanem pripravljen, kar sem vedno. Sem profesionalec in se borim nonstop. Ne počivam ali medenih tednov kot nekateri drugi borci.

»Zame je velika stvar, da sem na tem mestu kot voditelj v SHOWTIME. O tem sanjaš kot otrok, in zdaj, da se to dejansko zgodi, je nerealno. Sem prvi Avstralec, ki je imel svoje U.S. debitiral kot glavni nastop, saj še ni osvojil niti svetovnega naslova. To kaže, da je to, kar smo naredili do sedaj, za zdaj zelo dobro. Tukaj smo, da dajemo izjave.

"To bo zanimiv boj. Zelo me zanima, kaj bo prinesel. Gausha ima orodja za zmago. Ima odlične spretnosti in hitre roke ter dobro izbiro udarcev. Zelo dobro dela preproste stvari. Všeč so mi te vrste stilov. S takšnimi fanti sem sparring v ZDA. in je zabaven slog za boj proti.

»Nisem videti posebno velik ali močan, ampak ko pridem v ring, Izdajam tisto prevlado, ki pravi: 'to je moj prstan. To počnem in ti prideš na moj oder'. Takoj predstavim to prevlado in sporočim vsem.

Tszyu na Jermell Charlo vs. Maja bo potekala repasaža za 154-kilogramski naslov Briana Castaña 14 na SHOWTIME"

»Charlo je previden borec z močjo v obeh rokah. Nekajkrat je zamahnil Castaña. Charlo čaka, da doseže popoln udarec in zato Castanova moč v tem boju ni bila previsoka. Mislil sem, da se je Castaño odlično boril in ga je uspel. Charlo včasih ni vedel, kaj bi storil. Mislim, da bo bodisi Castaño po odločitvi ali Charlo z nokavtom v repasažu.

»Prihajam po vse v diviziji. Prihajam po pasove. Moraš imeti zaupanje vase. Verjamem, da premagam bodisi Charla bodisi Castaña. Ne bi bil v športu, če tega ne bi verjel. Te fante bi odpeljal na kraje, kjer še nikoli niso bili in to je vse, kar mi je pomembno."

IGOR GOLOUBEV, Tszyujev trener

»Tim se bo prilagodil, kot vedno počne, na podlagi tega, kar Gausha prinese v prvem krogu. Tim je borec za absolutni pritisk. Že od začetka bo na vrhu Gauše. Ne bo počitka in kam iti. To se bo borilo v notranjosti.

»Gausha je zvit borec. Ima dober stil iz svojega amaterskega ozadja in ima tudi močne noge in zgornji del telesa. Videli smo njegove posnetke in vemo, da zna udariti, da se bo premaknil in da vrže veliko udarcev. Vsestransko je zelo dober borec."

"Za ta boj smo delali na nekaj različnih stvareh,Je rekel Gausha. "Tima Tszyuja bomo dali drugačen videz, kot ga je videl prej. V primerjavi z večino bojev, ki so jih videli vsi, 26. marca bodo videli nekaj novega od mene."

Tszyu, sin borca ​​v dvorani slavnih Kostye Tszyuja, bo težko pričakovano debitiral v ZDA. proti Gauši, potem ko je prevladal nad svojim prvim 20 bori v rodni Avstraliji. Za domačina Gausha iz Clevelanda, njegova motivacija prihaja od znotraj in ne iz hype okoli Tszyuja, ki vstopa v to tekmo.

»Sem samo motivirano obdobje,Je rekel Gausha. »To nima nobene zveze s kakršnim koli hype okoli Tszyuja. Vse je povezano s tem, kje sem v mojem življenju in karieri. Zame se stvari dogajajo ob pravem času. sem na dobrem mestu. To je zame popoln boj na tej točki moje kariere.

»Cenim ga, ker je sprejel ta izziv. Večina drugih borcev bi poskušala zaščititi svoj rekord. To kaže, da verjame vase. Želi si težkih dvobojev. To je rekel, Mislim, da je sprejel napačen boj."

Gausha je v svoji zadnji borbi dosegel impresiven knockout nad mladim tekmecem Jamontayem Clarkom, marca ustavil svojega nasprotnika v drugem krogu 2021, in bo poskušal graditi na tem zmagoslavju proti večjemu imenu v Tszyu.

"To je bil zame dober boj proti Clarku,Je rekel Gausha. "Želel sem se takoj vrniti v ring, včasih pa se je težko skregati z določenimi fanti. Proti Tszyuju imam odlično priložnost in želim izkoristiti in nadgraditi svoj zadnji nastop. V tem boju bom naredil še večji udarec."

Usposabljanje v Los Angelesu z Mannyjem Roblesom in Prenice Brewer, Gausha je prejel odlične sparinge pred nočjo borbe, ko si je prstan delil s 154-kilogramskim prvakom Brianom Castañom, tekmec v velterski kategoriji Vergil Ortiz in 2020 U.S.. Olimpijec Delante Johnson. Medtem ko Gausha pričakuje, da bo Tszyu pokazal svoj tipičen stil nastopa, namerava biti pripravljen na vse, kar mu ponudi nasprotnik.

»Pričakujem, da bo Tim poskušal pritisniti in nastopiti,Je rekel Gausha. »On je poni z enim trikom. Kar vidiš to dobiš. Ne počne preveč stvari spektakularno, ampak kar dela dobro, zelo dobro dela, in to povzroča pritisk. Za to imamo nekaj pripravljenega in naredili bomo svoje, ne glede na to, kaj bo poskušal narediti."

Gausha se je pred tem borila za naslov svetovnega prvaka do 154 funtov, ko je izgubila a 2017 odločitev proti Erislandy Lari in ima tudi odločilni poraz proti Ericksonu Lubinu in remi proti nekdanjemu prvaku Austinu Troutu.

»Eden največjih dogodkov v letu bo vključeval zaslužno postavo podkartov s plačilom na ogled, polno posledičnih dvobojev, ki so pripravljeni na dramo in akcijo,« je rekel Tom Brown, Predsednik TGB Promocije. “Isaac Cruz je proti Gervonti Davisu pokazal, da je zvezda v nastajanju, in poskušal bo te talente še enkrat pokazati proti izkušenemu nasprotniku v Yuriorkis Gamboa. Več, še ena vzhajajoča zvezda v Joseju Valenzueli bo stopila v konkurenco proti nekdanjemu prvaku Franciscu Vargasu, medtem ko bosta Cody Crowley in Josesito Lopez prinesla svoja visokooktanska stila v ring v obliki "ne moreš zgrešiti" obračuna, ki bo odprl naložen SHOWTIME PPV."

23-letni Cruz (22-2-1, 15 Kos) se bo vrnil v ring po padcu tekmovalne odločitve proti triligaškemu prvaku Gervonti Davisu na SHOWTIME PPV decembra. Po rodu iz Mexico Cityja, Cruz se je dvignil na lestvici lahke kategorije 2020, oktobra napovedal svojo prisotnost z naelektrenim nokavtom v prvem krogu nad veteranom Diegom Magdalenom. Cruz je temu sledil 2021 tako, da je marca soglasno zmagal nad prej neporaženim Matíasom Romerom in junija premagal nekdanjega prvaka Francisca Vargasa.. Potem ko je svoje U.S. decembra debitiral 2019, Cruz je v naslednjih štirih dvobojih ostal neporažen, pojavlja se na SHOWTIME® trikrat poleg tega, da je premagal Magdaleno na dvoboju Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz SHOWTIME PPV undercard.

»Komaj čakam, da se vrnem v ring in se borim na AT&T stadion,"Je dejal Cruz. »Obožujem oboževalce v Teksasu, vedno mi nudijo ogromno podporo. Moj promotor, Manny Pacquiao, se je boril pri AT&T Stadium prej in zmagal obakrat. Vesel sem, da bom šel po njegovih stopinjah proti zelo uspešnemu nekdanjemu prvaku v Gamboi. Prihajam, da pokažem navijačem, zakaj sem eden najboljših lahkih igralcev na svetu, in da Gamboa odpeljem v pokoj 16. aprila."

Gamboa (30-4, 18 Kos) je nekdanji enotni prvak v peresni kategoriji, med 126 funtov naslova IBF in WBA 2009 in 2011. Rojen v Guantanamu, Cuba, zdaj živi in ​​trenira v Miamiju, Fla. Odpustil je obračun proti Terenceu Crawfordu v a 2014 Boj leta, preden je odskočil in zmagal v sedmih od osmih bojev. Ta tek je vključeval zmage nad nekdanjima svetovnima prvakoma Jasonom Soso in Romanom Martinezom, vrnitev Gamboe v boj za naslov svetovnega prvaka. V zadnjih dveh dvobojih, Gamboa je opustil tekmovanja proti trenutnim svetovnim prvakom v lahki kategoriji, izguba preko 12th-round TKO do Gervonte Davisa 2019 in z odločbo proti Devinu Haneyju novembra 2020.

»Vedno pridem v ring, da pokažem svoje talente in April 16 bo nič drugače,« je rekel Gamboa. »Zelo motivirajoče je soočiti se z mladimi, močan nasprotnik, kot je Isaac Cruz. Preizkusila ga bom in videla, ali se lahko upre moji moči. Prihajam zmagat in dam veliko izjavo, da še vedno imam vse, kar je potrebno, da ponovno postanem prvak."

22-letna Valenzuela (11-0, 7 Kos) zdaj trenira kot hlevski kolega nepremaganega dvakratnega svetovnega prvaka Davida Benavideza, ko se želi premakniti od potencialnega kandidata do tekmeca v 2022. Rojen v Los Mochisu, Sinaloa, Mexico, Valenzuela se je prelevila v profesionalca 2018 in opravil pet dvobojev z izločilnimi tekmi, preden si je septembra prislužil svojo prvo odločitev v 10 rundah v zmagi nad Deinerjem Berriom 2021. Valenzuela je dosegel svoj izboj 2021 v decembru, prevladuje nad Austinom Dulayem na poti do tehničnega noka v četrtem krogu.

»Uresničitev sanj je biti na visokih vložkih, zložena kartica, kot je ta,« je rekla Valenzuela. »Spensa sem občudoval in študiral že dolgo, predvsem zato, ker sva oba levičarja. Komaj čakam, da pridem v ring. Francisca Vargasa nikakor ne spregledam ali podcenjujem. pričakujem ognjemet. Vedno prideš do velikega pretepa, ko se pomerita dva mehiška bojevnika, tako da vem, da bodo oboževalci navdušeni nad tem, kar bodo videli 16. aprila."

Boj iz Mexico Cityja, Vargas (27-3-2, 19 Kos) osvojil naslov 130 funtov 2015 tako, da je v eni najboljših bojev leta premagal Takashija Miuro. 37-letnik bi se še naprej boril proti Orlandu Salidu do akcijskega žreba, preden bi v drugi nepozabni aferi izgubil naslov proti Miguelu Bercheltu.. Vargas je kasneje premagal Stephena Smitha in Roda Salko, preden je izgubil v repasažu z Bercheltom 2019. Najbolj nedavno, Vargas je začel kampanjo v lahki kategoriji, dosegel zaporedne zmage nad Ezequielom Avilesom 2019 in Otto Gamez v 2020, preden je odstopil od odločitve proti Isaacu Cruzu v svojem zadnjem boju junija 2021.

"V čast mi je biti na tako veliki karti s toliko odličnimi borci,« je rekel Vargas. "Prišel bom pripravljen na ta boj in pripravljen zapustiti ring z zmago. Vem, da bo Valenzuela poskušala dati izjavo, vendar prihajam, da storim isto. Kot vedno, Navijači lahko pričakujejo izjemen boj od začetka do konca."

Zastopa svoj rodni Ontario, Canada, Crowley (20-0, 9 Kos) se vrača v ring po senzacionalnem debiju v SHOWTIME decembra 2021 da je premagal prej neporaženega Kudratillo Abdukakhorov s soglasno odločitvijo. Crowley je pred tem septembra premagal Josha Torresa 2020 po a 2019 tek, v katerem je februarja z odločitvijo v 12 krogih proti Stuartu McLellanu osvojil kanadski naslov v supervelterski kategoriji, nato pa je oktobra uspešno ubranil naslov s prevladujočo odločitvijo nad Mianom Hussainom.. 28-letnik se je vrnil v boj v ZDA. za njegova zadnja dva dvoboja po sedmih od njegovih prvih osmih profesionalnih bojev v ZDA.

»Po moji decembrski zmagi na SHOWTIME, Pripravljen sem sprejeti naslednji izziv na svoji poti, da postanem svetovni prvak v velterski kategoriji,« je rekel Crowley. »Josesito Lopez je vedno močan in na mizo prinaša razburljiv slog. Žal za njega, bo odkril kaj 20 borci pred njim so se naučili, kar je, da me ne bodo ustavili pri doseganju svoje usode. Rad bi se zahvalil svoji ekipi za to priložnost, da pokažem svoje sposobnosti, srčnost in neizprosnost na tej odlični karti v domu Dallas Cowboys.«

Lopez (38-8, 21 Kos) si je prislužil vzdevek "The Riverside Rocky" zaradi svojega stila neuspeha v ringu. Stopil je nasproti nekaterih najboljših boksarjev v športu, vključno s prvakom Canelom Alvarezom, Marcos Maidana, Andre Berto in Victor Ortiz. 37-letnik iz Riversidea, Kalifornija je vedno težka v ringu, kot je razvidno iz njegovega poraza z odločitvijo s tesno večino proti takratnemu prvaku Keithu Thurmanu v 2019. Od te izgube, Lopez je združil zaporedne zmage, premagal Johna Molina, Jr. in Francisco Santana.

"Nestrpen in zelo motiviran sem, da se vrnem v ring in se izkažem kot eden najboljših borcev na svetu,"Je dejal Lopez. "Pričakujem trd izziv od Crowleyja in navijači lahko pričakujejo, da me bodo videli v najboljših močeh. Sem v odlični formi in pripravljena dati vse na kocko. Vsekakor se boste želeli prepričati, da ne boste zamudili mojega boja 16. aprila."

CHRIS COLBERT BROOKLYN MEDIA WORKOUT QUOTES AND PHOTOS

“He’s going to learn firsthand how dangerous I am…I love when people think that power is going to save them against me.”

Unbeaten Rising Star Colbert Nears Showdown Against Undefeated Dominican Olympian Hector Garcia Headlining Live on SHOWTIME® Sobota, Februar 26 in Premier Boxing Champions Event from The Cosmopolitan
Las Vegas

BROOKLYN – Februar 18, 2022 - Neporažen vzhajajoča zvezda Chris “Primetime” Colbert held a media workout in his hometown of Brooklyn Friday, as he prepares to take on undefeated Dominican Olympian Hector Garcia in the SHOWTIME main event Saturday, Februar 26 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

Colbert vs. Garcia tops a stacked SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® tripleheader beginning at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT as the undefeated fighters match up in a WBA Super Featherweight Title Eliminator.

Vstopnice za dogodek v živo, ki ga spodbuja TGB Promocije, are on sale now and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.com.

The 25-year-old Colbert held the workout at the NYC Cops & Kids Boxing Club where he began his boxing journey, from his decorated days in the amateur ranks, to his burgeoning pro career. Here is what Colbert had to say about training camp, his February 26 opponent and more:

CHRIS COLBERT

“He’s going to learn firsthand how dangerous I am. I’m not worried about anything he brings to the ring. I love when people think that power is going to save them against me.

“I don’t have to live up to the ‘Primetime’ name, that’s just me. That’s who I am. People know who I am. I just have a job to do and I’m going to do it on February 26.

“I don’t really know anything about Garcia. I know he’s got two arms and two legs, and beyond that I expect him to bring his A-game, because he has to against me. There’s no way that I’m letting him come in as a late replacement and beat me.

“I spent most of training camp with Coach Aureliano Sosa and Herman Caicedo at Caicedo Sports down in Miami, but with the change of opponent I made the decision to come back to my gym in Brooklyn because we have three lefties in the gym up here.

“The only real difference for this camp is that I have a nutritionist now, so they’ve got me on a strict diet and I’m just more focused than ever. The other thing about this camp is that I was originally supposed to fight in mid-December, but then it got pushed back to now. So we went through two camps basically. It’s been about a 14-week camp in total.

“We went down to Miami mainly because of the weather, and because of our connection with Coach Herman. I hate the cold up north. And then they’ve also got a lot of quality sparring partners for me down in Miami and they gave me some good work to get me ready for this fight.

“I’m all about making adjustments. I’ve had opponent replacements happen before, and I know this is part of the business of boxing. I just have to roll with the punches, make lemonade out of these lemons and do what I do on February 26.

“I don’t fight for the belts. I fight for the money and my legacy. I still have a job to do next Saturday. I’m still getting paid. After I win, I get to fight again soon for the belt and get paid again for that fight.”

HÉCTOR GARCÍA TRAINING CAMP QUOTESUNDEFEATED DOMINICAN OLYMPIAN GARCÍA FACES UNBEATEN RISING STAR CHRIS COLBERT LIVE ON SHOWTIME® SATURDAY, Februar 26

“I don’t consider Chris Colbert particularly dangerous.”

UNDEFEATED DOMINICAN OLYMPIAN HÉCTOR GARCÍA FACES UNBEATEN RISING STAR CHRIS COLBERT LIVE ON SHOWTIME® Sobota, Februar 26 IN PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS EVENT FROM THE COSMOPOLITAN OF LAS VEGAS

LAS VEGAS (Februar 17, 2022) – Undefeated Dominican Olympian Héctor García will look to put himself one step closer to his championship dreams when he faces fellow unbeaten Chris “Primetime” Colbert in a 12-round WBA Super Featherweight World Title Eliminator headlining live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Februar 26 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

“I’m very thankful to my whole team for giving me this opportunity,” said García, who owns a record of 14-0, s 10 Knockouts. “It’s time to show the world that there was a Dominican fighter hidden in the shadows and he’s ready to pounce on this chance

García stepped in to face Colbert after WBA Super Featherweight Champion Roger Gutiérrez withdrew due to a positive COVID-19 test. Despite the sudden change, the 30-year-old is prepared for what the supremely-skilled Colbert brings to the ring.

“I don’t consider Chris Colbert particularly dangerous,” said García. “I’ve watched him fight before and I know that I do have to be agile, since he is very fast. I have been sparring with many training partners that have styles similar to his here in Las Vegas and that should help me adjust once we’re in the fight.”

Trained by renowned coach Ismael Salas in Las Vegas, García has sparred with champions and top contenders including Devin Haney and Rolando “Rolly” Romero. He enters this fight coming off the most impressive victory of his career, a unanimous decision triumph over Isaac Avelar in December 2021.

“I make sure I stay in shape even if I’m not training for a specific date or opponent,” said García. “I heard about this opportunity when I got back to Las Vegas from the Dominican Republic, and I just knew I had to grab the bull by the horns. I am making sure that I make the most of this by having the best possible preparation.”

The San Juan de la Maguana, Dominican Republic product knows this is his chance to go from underdog to world championship contender, and plans to show off his versatility and power in the biggest fight of his career to date.

“People will witness my potential on February 26,” said García. “They are also going to find out that I can brawl or be tactical from any kind of distance. If I had to define myself as a boxer in one word, that would be ‘versatile’. My power is a weapon because I can hurt you with anything and everything that I throw.”

García is an avid Boston Red Sox fan who used to play baseball and dream of hitting home runs at Fenway Park while admiring Dominican baseball legends such as Pedro Martínez, David Ortíz and Manny Ramírez. His family wanted him to study, but it was his stepbrother who turned him to boxing when García was a teenager.

“Baseball was my first love, but my older stepbrother Derlin Valdez used to box and he would encourage me to do the same,” said García. “He kept telling me to go to the gym and, when I was 14, I decided to heed his advice and dedicate myself to boxing. I didn’t really want to at first, but I also didn’t have the resources I needed to be a true professional baseball prospect.”

García turned pro in December of 2016 after a runner-up finish at the 2015 Pan-Am Games in Toronto and qualifying for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

“I waited for the (2016) Olympics before turning pro,” said García. “My dream was to win a medal, and I didn’t get to because of an unfair loss during the preliminary rounds.”

Six years later, boxing is still a family matter in the García household. That is what drives him to succeed.

“My goal is to be a world champion, and I’m dedicated to showing my family that I am indeed able to be successful as an athlete,” said García. “They wanted me to study, study, study and study some more, but I’m showing them that I achieved my goal.”
