TERRELL Gausha: “WE’RE GOING TO GIVE TIM TSZYU A DIFFERENT LOOK THAN HE’S EVER SEEN BEFORE”

Super Welterweight Contender Gausha Faces Unbeaten Rising Star Tim Tszyu in SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Main Event Saturday, Μάρτιος 26 from The Armory in Minneapolis

LOS ANGELES – March 17, 2022 - Η.Π.Α.. Olympian and super welterweight contenderTerrell Gaushais confident that he’ll be spoiling the stateside debut of unbeaten rising starTim Tszyuwhen they square off on Saturday, Μάρτιος 26 ζουν σε SHOWTIME® headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event from The Armory in Minneapolis.

“We’ve been working on some different things for this fight,” said Gausha. “We’re going to give Tim Tszyu a different look than he’s seen before. Compared to most of the fights that everyone has seen, they’re going to see something new from me on March 26.”

Tszyu, the son of Hall of Fame fighter Kostya Tszyu, will be making his much-anticipated debut in the U.S. against Gausha, after dominating his first 20 fights in his native Australia. For the Cleveland native Gausha, his motivation comes from within and not from the hype surrounding Tszyu entering this matchup.

“I’m just motivated period,” said Gausha. “It’s got nothing to do with any hype around Tszyu. It has everything to do with where I’m at in my life and my career. Things are happening at the right time for me. I’m in a good place. This is the perfect fight for me at this point in my career.

“I appreciate him for taking this challenge. Most other fighters would try to protect their record. This shows that he believes in himself. He wants the tough fights. Τούτου λεχθέντος, I think he took the wrong fight.”

Gausha scored an impressive knockout over young contender Jamontay Clark in his last fight, stopping his opponent in round two in March 2021, and will look to build on that triumph against a bigger name in Tszyu.

“That was a good fight for me against Clark,” said Gausha. “I wanted to get right back in the ring, but sometimes it’s hard to make fights with certain guys. I have a great opportunity against Tszyu and I’m looking to capitalize and build off of my last performance. I’m going to make an even bigger splash in this fight.”

Training in Los Angeles with Manny Robles and Prenice Brewer, Gausha has received excellent sparring leading up to fight night, having shared the ring with 154-pound champion Brian Castaño, welterweight contender Vergil Ortiz and 2020 Η.Π.Α.. Olympian Delante Johnson. While Gausha expects Tszyu to display his typical come forward style, he plans to be ready for anything that his opponent presents.

“I expect Tim to try to bring pressure and come forward,” said Gausha. “He’s a one-trick pony. What you see is what you get. He doesn’t do too many things spectacularly, but what he does do well, he does it very well, and that’s bring the pressure. We have something ready for that and we’re going to do our thing no matter what he tries to do.”

Gausha previously challenged for the 154-pound world title in losing a 2017 decision against Erislandy Lara and also owns a decision defeat to Erickson Lubin and a draw against former champion Austin Trout. Τώρα, Gausha will look to catapult himself right back into the title picture with a victory on March 26.

“After everyone sees this performance on March 26, they’re going to know where I fit into this division,” said Gausha. “I’ve got a job to do. Αμέσως, I’m really just starting to show people my skills and what I can do. This is going to solidify that. I’m knocking on the door of a title fight right now. A win over Tszyu would be great for my career and get me to the world titles.”

Ο 23χρονος Κρουζ (22-2-1, 15 KOs) θα επιστρέψει στο ρινγκ αφού απορρίψει μια αγωνιστική απόφαση εναντίον της πρωταθλήτριας τριών τμημάτων Gervonta Davis στο SHOWTIME PPV τον Δεκέμβριο. Με καταγωγή από την Πόλη του Μεξικού, Ο Κρουζ ανέβηκε στην κατάταξη ελαφρών βαρών 2020, ανακοινώνοντας την παρουσία του με ένα συναρπαστικό νοκ άουτ στον πρώτο γύρο επί του βετεράνου Ντιέγκο Μαγδαλένο τον Οκτώβριο. Ο Κρουζ το ακολούθησε 2021 κερδίζοντας μια ομόφωνη απόφαση επί του προηγουμένως αήττητου Matías Romero τον Μάρτιο και νικώντας τον πρώην πρωταθλητή Francisco Vargas με απόφαση τον Ιούνιο.

«Ανυπομονώ να επιστρέψω στο ρινγκ και να αγωνιστώ στο AT&Γήπεδο Τ,", Είπε ο Κρουζ. «Λατρεύω τους οπαδούς στο Τέξας, μου δίνουν πάντα τρομερή υποστήριξη. Υποστηρικτής μου, Manny Pacquiao, έχει πολεμήσει στο Α.Τ&T Stadium πριν και κέρδισε και τις δύο φορές. Είμαι ενθουσιασμένος που ακολουθώ τα βήματά του απέναντι σε έναν πολύ επιτυχημένο πρώην πρωταθλητή στην Γκαμπόα. Έρχομαι για να δείξω στους οπαδούς γιατί είμαι ένας από τους καλύτερους ελαφρούς στον κόσμο και να οδηγήσω τον Γκαμπόα στη σύνταξη στις 16 Απριλίου».

Gamboa (30-4, 18 KOs) είναι πρώην πρωταθλητής ενιαίου φτερού, κατέχουν τους τίτλους IBF και WBA 126 λιβρών μεταξύ 2009 και 2011. Με καταγωγή από το Γκουαντάναμο, Κούβα, Τώρα ζει και προπονείται στο Μαϊάμι, Fla.

Αυτό το σερί περιλάμβανε νίκες επί των πρώην παγκόσμιων πρωταθλητών Jason Sosa και Roman Martinez, βάζοντας την Gamboa ξανά στη διεκδίκηση του παγκόσμιου τίτλου. Στους δύο τελευταίους αγώνες του, Η Γκαμπόα διέκοψε τους αγώνες εναντίον των σημερινών παγκόσμιων πρωταθλητών ελαφρών βαρών, χάνοντας μέσω 12ου-γύρος TKO προς Gervonta Davis μέσα 2019 και με απόφαση εναντίον του Devin Haney τον Νοέμβριο 2020.

«Έρχομαι πάντα στο ρινγκ για να δείξω τα ταλέντα μου και τον Απρίλιο 16 δεν θα είναι διαφορετικές,», είπε ο Γκαμπόα. «Είναι πολύ κίνητρο να αντιμετωπίζεις έναν νέο, δυνατός αντίπαλος όπως ο Isaac Cruz. Θα τον δοκιμάσω και θα δω αν μπορεί να σταθεί απέναντι στη δύναμή μου. Έρχομαι για να κερδίσω και να κάνω μια μεγάλη δήλωση ότι έχω ακόμα ό,τι χρειάζεται για να γίνω ξανά πρωταθλητής».

Η 22χρονη Βαλενζουέλα (11-0, 7 KOs) τώρα προπονείται ως σταθερός συμπαίκτης του αήττητου δύο φορές παγκόσμιου πρωταθλητή Ντέιβιντ Μπεναβίντεζ, καθώς επιδιώκει να περάσει από υποψήφιο σε υποψήφιο 2022. Γεννήθηκε στο Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Μεξικό, Η Valenzuela έγινε επαγγελματίας 2018 και οδήγησε ένα σερί πέντε αγώνων νοκ άουτ πριν πάρει την πρώτη του απόφαση 10 γύρων σε μια νίκη επί του Deiner Berrio τον Σεπτέμβριο 2021. Ο Βαλενζουέλα έκλεισε το ξεπέρασμα του 2021 το Δεκέμβριο, κυριαρχώντας στον Austin Dulay στο δρόμο του για ένα TKO στον τέταρτο γύρο.

«Είναι ένα όνειρο που γίνεται πραγματικότητα να βρίσκεσαι σε υψηλό επίπεδο, στοιβαγμένη κάρτα όπως αυτή,», είπε η Βαλενζουέλα. «Θαύμασα και μελετούσα τον Σπενς για πολύ καιρό, ειδικά επειδή είμαστε και οι δύο αριστεροί. Ανυπομονώ να μπω στο ρινγκ. Δεν παραβλέπω ή υποτιμώ τον Francisco Vargas με κανέναν τρόπο. Περιμένω πυροτεχνήματα. Πάντα τσακώνεσαι όταν δύο Μεξικανοί πολεμιστές έρχονται αντιμέτωποι, οπότε ξέρω ότι οι οπαδοί θα είναι ευχαριστημένοι με αυτό που θα δουν στις 16 Απριλίου».

Μάχη έξω από την Πόλη του Μεξικού, Βάργκας (27-3-2, 19 KOs) κέρδισε έναν τίτλο 130 λιβρών σε 2015 νικώντας τον Takashi Miura σε έναν από τους καλύτερους αγώνες της χρονιάς. Ο 37χρονος θα πάλευε με τον Ορλάντο Σαλίντο σε μια γεμάτη δράση ισοπαλία πριν χάσει τον τίτλο του από τον Μιγκέλ Μπέρχελτ σε μια άλλη αξιομνημόνευτη υπόθεση.. Ο Βάργκας αργότερα νίκησε τους Στίβεν Σμιθ και Ροντ Σάλκα πριν χάσει στη ρεβάνς του με τον Μπέρχελτ μέσα 2019. Πιο πρόσφατα, Ο Βάργκας άρχισε να κάνει εκστρατεία στα ελαφριά, σημειώνοντας συνεχόμενες νίκες επί του Ezequiel Aviles 2019 και ο Otto Gamez μέσα 2020, πριν πάρει μια απόφαση εναντίον του Isaac Cruz στον τελευταίο αγώνα του τον Ιούνιο 2021.

«Είναι τιμή να βρίσκομαι σε ένα τόσο μεγάλο φύλλο με τόσους πολλούς σπουδαίους μαχητές,», είπε ο Βάργκας. «Θα έρθω προετοιμασμένος για αυτόν τον αγώνα και έτοιμος να φύγω από το ρινγκ με μια νίκη. Ξέρω ότι η Βαλενζουέλα θα προσπαθήσει να κάνει μια δήλωση, αλλά έρχομαι να κάνω το ίδιο. Όπως πάντα, οι οπαδοί μπορούν να περιμένουν έναν τεράστιο αγώνα από την αρχή μέχρι το τέλος».

Εκπροσωπώντας την πατρίδα του το Οντάριο, Καναδάς, Κρόουλι (20-0, 9 KOs) επιστρέφει στο ρινγκ μετά από ένα εντυπωσιακό ντεμπούτο στο SHOWTIME τον Δεκέμβριο 2021 που τον είδε να νικάει τον προηγουμένως αήττητο Kudratillo Abdukakhorov με ομόφωνη απόφαση. Ο Κρόουλι είχε νικήσει στο παρελθόν τον Τζος Τόρες τον Σεπτέμβριο 2020 ακολουθώντας α 2019 σερί που τον είδε να κερδίσει έναν καναδικό τίτλο σούπερ welterweight με μια απόφαση 12 γύρων έναντι του Stuart McLellan τον Φεβρουάριο πριν υπερασπιστεί επιτυχώς αυτόν τον τίτλο με μια κυρίαρχη απόφαση έναντι του Mian Hussain τον Οκτώβριο. Ο 28χρονος επέστρεψε για να πολεμήσει στις Η.Π.Α. για τους δύο τελευταίους αγώνες του αφού οι επτά από τους πρώτους οκτώ επαγγελματικούς αγώνες του έγιναν στις Η.Π.Α.

«Μετά τη νίκη μου τον Δεκέμβριο στο SHOWTIME, Είμαι έτοιμος να δεχτώ την επόμενη πρόκληση στο ταξίδι μου για να γίνω πρωταθλητής welterweight του κόσμου,», είπε ο Κρόουλι. «Ο Josesito Lopez είναι πάντα σκληρός και φέρνει ένα συναρπαστικό στυλ στο τραπέζι. Δυστυχώς για αυτόν, θα ανακαλύψει τι 20 μαχητές πριν από αυτόν έχουν μάθει, που είναι ότι δεν θα με εμποδίσουν να πετύχω το πεπρωμένο μου. Θέλω να ευχαριστήσω την ομάδα μου για αυτή την ευκαιρία να δείξω τις ικανότητές μου, καρδιά και αδυσώπητα σε αυτό το υπέροχο φύλλο στο σπίτι των Ντάλας Κάουμπόις».

Lopez (38-8, 21 KOs) κέρδισε το παρατσούκλι "The Riverside Rocky" λόγω του στυλ του στο ρινγκ. Έχει περάσει απέναντι από μερικούς από τους κορυφαίους πυγμάχους του αθλήματος, συμπεριλαμβανομένων των πρωταθλητών Canelo Alvarez, Marcos Maidana, Αντρέ Μπέρτο ​​και Βίκτορ Ορτίθ. Ο 37χρονος από το Ρίβερσαϊντ, Η Καλιφόρνια είναι πάντα σκληρή στο ρινγκ, όπως σημειώνεται από την ήττα με μικρή πλειοψηφία από τον τότε πρωταθλητή Keith Thurman στο 2019. Από εκείνη την απώλεια, Ο Λόπεζ έχει συγκεντρώσει συνεχόμενες νίκες, νικώντας τον Τζον Μολίνα, Jr. και ο Φρανσίσκο Σαντάνα.

«Είμαι πρόθυμος και με πολύ κίνητρο να κάνω πίσω στο ρινγκ και να αποδειχθώ ως ένας από τους καλύτερους μαχητές στον κόσμο,"Είπε ο Λόπεζ. «Περιμένω μια σκληρή πρόκληση από τον Κρόουλι και οι οπαδοί μπορούν να περιμένουν να με δουν στα καλύτερά μου. Είμαι σε εξαιρετική φόρμα και έτοιμος να βάλω τα πάντα στη γραμμή. Σίγουρα θα θέλετε να βεβαιωθείτε ότι δεν θα χάσετε τον αγώνα μου στις 16 Απριλίου».

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.”

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

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

LAS VEGAS (Φεβρουάριος 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, Φεβρουάριος 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, με 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.”

LAS VEGAS (Φεβρουάριος 5, 2022) -Former unified welterweight world championKeith “One Time” Thurmanείναι πίσω.
 
Thurman proved he is still an elite welterweight, winning a 12-round unanimous decision over former super lightweight world championMario “El Azteca” Barrios in the main event of a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View event Saturday night from Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.


“This was a comeback fight after two and a half years away,” said Clearwater, Florida’s Thurman. “I wish I had my best performance, but I did the best I could under the circumstances. “I grade this performance a C+ or B- for myself.”
 
In his first fight in over 30 μήνες, the 33-year-old Thurman (30-1, 22 KOs) displayed the attributes that led him to the top of the 147-pound division. Thurman got off to a strong start and never relinquished control, at times punishing Barrios with hard shots.
 
Γειτονιές (26-2, 17 KOs) had his moments in his welterweight debut, particularly in the eighth when a left hook to the body caused Thurman to back up. The 26-year-old slugger from San Antonio, Texas also showed grit, gamely fighting back despite Thurman’s heavy artillery.
 
Tonight I showed the Mexican warrior in me. I take my hat off to Keith Thurman, he’s a warrior as well. We gave the fans a great fight,” said Barrios.


Ωστόσο, it wasn’t enough to overcome what was a fine performance from the relentless Thurman.
 
“We rocked him. We weren’t able to put him down and out, but we had a great performance and a great fight,” said Thurman.
 
“I want the belts. I want the champions. I want to be back on top, so whoever is willing to send Keith Thurman the contract, let’s go!"
 
In the super featherweight co-main event, four-division world championLeo “El Terremoto” Santa Cruz delivered another vintage performance, overcoming adversity to win a wide 10-round unanimous decision overKeenan “Bedo” Carbajal.
 
“I went good rounds. If I had gone in there and finished him fast, I wouldn’t have gotten the experience I needed,” said the 33-year-old Santa Cruz. “I felt the long layoff a little bit, but I did my best and hopefully the fans loved it and want to see me again.”


Σάντα Κρουζ (38-2-1, 19 KOs) suffered a cut underneath his left eye and one along his right eyelid both from accidental headbutts.
 
Undaunted, “El Terremoto” dominated the action, hurting Carbajal (23-3-1, 15 KOs) several times on his way to winning every round on all three scorecards (100-90).
 
“We’re going to go back to the gym, get better and work on what we did wrong,” Santa Cruz said. “We want to unify and defend our title. We want all the champions at 126 λίρες. "
 
Pay-per-view action also saw rising super welterweight sensationJesus “Mono” Ramos (18-0, 15 KOs) deliver a spectacular performance in the biggest fight of his career. The 20-year-old Ramos remained undefeated by knocking out dangerous veteranVladimir Hernandez (13-5, 6 KOs) στο 2:21 of the sixth round.
 
“I was boxing him smartly and I wasn’t really looking for the knockout,” said Ramos. “He’s a tough, durable guy. I broke him down round by round, landing a clean shot that hurt him, so I got the job done.
 
The end came swiftly in the sixth when a Ramos overhand left caused Hernandez to lose control of his legs. Ramos proceeded to batter him to the head and body until referee Mike Ortega mercifully stepped in.
 
“We want to build our resume, like Floyd Mayweather did,” said Ramos. “He had Gatti, Corrales, Castillo and all the guys. That’s something you can’t take away from him and that’s what I want to do. I want to earn my reputation. I’m not here to have Instagram followers. I’m here to make a statement in boxing.”
 
In the pay-per-view opener, πρώην παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής δύο κατηγοριώνLuis “Pantera” Nery μειώθηκεCarlos Castro in the first round on his way to a 10-round split decision win in a tactical battle between super bantamweights.
 
“My experience was definitely a factor,” said Nery. “I have three world title fights under my belt and have faced tougher opponents than he has. It showed tonight.”
 
The action heated up in the first when southpaw Nery connected with a straight left that deposited Castro on the seat of his trunks. The Phoenix, Arizona native managed to rise and survive the frame.
 
The bout turned into a chess match in the middle rounds as both Castro (27-1, 12 KOs) and Mexico’s Nery (32-1, 24 KOs) had their moments. Στο τέλος, Nery’s defense and accuracy proved to be the difference as he won 96-93 και 95-94 on two cards, while a third judge scored it for Castro, 95-94.
 
“I wanted to show everyone that I’m not just about haymakers,” said Nery. “If I wanna brawl and be tactical, I can do that too.
 
“I knew I could knock him out, but I wanted to win proving I could box too. I would counter-punch and attack the way I wanted to.”
 
Πριν από την πληρωμή ανά προβολή, the PBC on FOX main event sawLuke Santamaria (13-2-1, 7 KOs) overcome a stiff challenge fromΆβελ Ramos (27-5-2, 21 KOs) to win a 10-round unanimous decision in their welterweight encounter. Following a slow start, Santamaria found his footing, often switching from orthodox to southpaw and having success from both stances. Ramos was game throughout, but all three judges saw Santamaria winning clearly by scores of 98-92, 96-94 και 96-94.
 
Στο co-main event στο FOX, super lightweight contenderOmar “El Relámpago” Juárez (13-1, 5 KOs) won a hard-fought 10-round split decision over Ryan “Cowboy” Karl. Juarez controlled the early action, surviving a mid-fight surge from Karl (19-4, 12 KOs) to walk away with the victory. One judge scored the action 95-94 for Karl while the other two judges had Juarez winning by scores of 96-93 και 95-94.

Russell, who owns the longest reign of any current male champion and has held his 126-pound belt since 2015, will look to make his sixth consecutive successful title defense on January 22, when he takes on the Filipino power-puncher Magsayo, who is trained by Freddie Roach and comes in off of a Knockout of the Year contender over former champion Julio Ceja last August.

Εδώ είναι αυτό που οι μαχητές είχαν να πουν την Τρίτη:

Γκάρι Ράσελ JR.

“I use everything going on with me outside of the ring as fuel. It’s been very difficult dealing with the passing of my brother and my dad’s health issues. I tell people all the time that life is like boxing. You have to keep your chin down and hands up. I’m grateful that I’m mentally strong when it comes to stuff like this. This is what champions do, we overcome adversity.

“I’ve been willing to compete against whoever, whenever and wherever. But I can’t force these guys to get in the ring and fight me. I just have to prepare to the best of my ability. I need a dance partner.

“I see him as a good even-handed puncher, maybe he leans a little more to the right hand. He has good punching power, but none of that matters if you can’t hit your target.

“We’re grinding in training camp. Δεν έχει σημασία τι, we’re not going to make any excuses or complaints.

“If I’m going to move up in weight, I want to fight the champion. I’m not planning to move up in weight just to stand in line. I’m fighting Magsayo because he moved up the rankings and earned this spot. Everyone who I’ve competed against has been the next best guy under the champion.

“I don’t have any concerns with Magsayo’s power. You very seldom see me have to come back on the scorecards. Magsayo had to come back in his last fight because he was losing on the cards. That shows some holes in his armor.

“I never overlook anybody. Of course I want the Gervonta Davis fight. But I’m focused on Magsayo. He’s the one who worked his way into this position to fight me. Davis is in no rush, so I’m going to remain focused on a true warrior who’s getting into the ring with me.

“I stay in the gym. Boxing is not just what I do, it’s a lifestyle for me. Even when I’m over and done with my career, I’m still going to be in the gym. I never really blow up and get big in weight. I love what I do and I’m very militant in my mindset.

“No one can really prepare for me. You can’t prepare like you think you can. I know Magsayo will be at his physical and mental best. I take my hat off to him, because he’s willing to put it on the line to prove he’s the best. I wish other fighters would take that same risk.

“A lot of these other guys aren’t willing to step in there with me because of the skillset that I bring. Τελικά, we have another fighter with some heart who’s willing to fight. I want him to bring his best, so we’ll see whose best is best.”

MARK MAGSAYO

“I’m very thankful to my whole team for making this fight happen. I’ve been training for three and a half months now, so I’m going to be well prepared for this fight.

“I don’t think Gary has faced anyone since he became champion that has the skills that I have. I’m going to go in there to show him something he’s never seen before and we’ll see how he reacts.
“I learned a lot from the Ceja fight. That gave me a lesson on how to adjust in the middle of a fight. It’s going to help me against Russell.

“I respect Gary Russell Jr., he’s a great champion, but I’m winning this fight on January 22. I want to prove to the people everywhere that I’m the best featherweight in the world.

“I’m going to show the world that I’m the best at this weight. This is the fight that I’ve wanted for a long time. I’ve been waiting patiently for my chance and I’m ready to do my best.

“I’ve had great sparring partners to prepare me for Russell and give me the same looks that he’ll give me on fight night. This is my first world title fight and I’m going to give it my all.

“I’m not trying to be the next Manny Pacquiao, but I’m trying to put my own mark on the history of this sport and for all Filipinos. I’m hungry to prove it all in the ring.

“I’m going to be the stronger fighter against Russell. We trained every day with Freddie Roach and we’ve worked on a lot of different techniques we’ll use in this fight.

“I know he’s going to bring his talent into the ring, but I’m going to show everybody that I can deliver a great fight and become champion.”

ΛΟΣ ΑΝΤΖΕΛΕΣ (Δεκέμβριος 5, 2021) –Boxing superstar and five-time world champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis put his boxing skills on display, winning a rousing 12-round round unanimous decision over the relentless Isaac "Pitbull" Cruz to retain his WBA Lightweight World Title in front of a star-studded, sellout crowd of 15,850 at STAPLES Center live on SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View, in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Διαβάσεις καρτών αποτελεσμάτων 116-112 and two scores of 115-113, all for Davis.

The atmosphere in the arena was electric, with scores of current and former NBA stars in attendance, including Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Kawhi Leonard, Dwight Howard, Kenny Smith, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce among others.

Accompanied by superstar rapper Lil Durk, Davis entered the ring in Laker purple and gold; tassels along his trunks with the late Kobe Bryant’s number “8” and “24” on each side. Cruz celebrated his Mexican heritage with a mariachi band behind him as he strode toward the ring.

There was no feeling-out process in the first. Cruz charged at the defending champion, pinning him against the ropes and wailing away.

“That’s my style. ‘Pitbull’ is always going to be on the attack,", Είπε ο Κρουζ. “I think we retained rhythm from the start to the end.”

Davis found his rhythm in the second and third, circling the ring and walking Cruz into shots. In the fourth, Cruz concentrated his attack on the body, pounding Davis’ ribs.

The 27-year-old Baltimore native turned on the power in the fourth, alternating between the right hook and left cross behind his southpaw stance. More punishing blows came from Davis during the fifth.

“He’s a shorter fighter, so I was throwing down on the top of his head,"Δήλωσε ο Ντέιβις. “I hit him with my knuckle and messed it up. I hurt my hand in the sixth round. No matter if the opponent is taller or shorter, I’ve got to get through it. Είναι ένας πολεμιστής. Even though he didn’t win, a star was born tonight.”

“It was right around the fifth round I saw that his hand wasn’t working correctly,” Cruz observed.

Davis boxed beautifully in the middle rounds, firing quick shots and pivoting away from the return fire. A right hook in the eighth briefly buzzed Cruz and brought the audience to their feet. But just when it appeared as if the fight was slipping away, Cruz fought fire with fire, landing a flush uppercut seconds before the bell.

The 23-year-old Mexican picked up the pace in the latter rounds, keeping Davis on his toes and pounding away. Davis held his own, fighting back on even terms until the fight’s end.

Naturally, Cruz believed he deserved the victory.

“Viva Mexico. I have nothing to say, the fans are speaking on who won this fight,"Είπε.

Following a successful title defense, Davis said he’s ready for all comers.

“L.A., we did it for Kobe,"Δήλωσε ο Ντέιβις. “At the beginning of the fight, he came on strong. I felt as the fight was going, he was breaking down. But I hurt my hand, so I wasn’t able to get him out of there.

“Whatever the best opportunity is for me, I’ll do it. All of them guys are easy work. I’m the top dog.”

Στο ομο-κύριο γεγονός, Sebastian “Towering Inferno” Fundora moved closer to a world title shot with a 12-round unanimous decision over the previously-unbeaten Sergio Garcia in a WBC Super Welterweight Title Eliminator.

Final scores read 118-110, 117-111 και 115-113.

Fundora established control quickly in the first, snapping Spain’s Garcia’s head back with a booming left. The two traded evenly through the early rounds. Garcia had his moments, including a sharp overhand right in the fifth that drew blood from Fundora’s nose.

The 23-year-old Fundora found his range in the sixth, pumping the jab and using his 6-foot-5 frame and 80-inch reach to keep Garcia at bay.

“I was using my distance a lot more. I wanted to display something different than what I’m used to,” said Fundora. “Height was definitely a difference in this fight.”

Garcia struggled to land during the second half of the bout, save for a couple moments in the 12ου when the two combatants stood toe-to-toe.

“Maybe things could have been different if I had been more aggressive from the beginning,»Είπε η Γκαρσία. “I shouldn’t have let myself get carried away by what he was doing.”

Fundora believes he’s ready for a world title shot.

“We just beat the No. 2 στο WBC, so we have No.1, and we have the champion,” said Fundora. “Whoever they give us next, we’re ready for.”

In a thrilling back and forth, Carlos Adames (21-1, 16 KOs) overcame a stiff challenge from former world title challenger Sergiy Derevyanchenko (13-4, 10 KOs) to win a 10-round majority decision in their WBC Middleweight World Title Eliminator.

Both combatants had their moments, but facing the toughest opponent of his career, the 27-year-old Adames shined. One judge scored the middleweight bout even at 95-95, while the other two scored it for Adames by scores of 96-94 και 97-93.

“This means a lot for me in my career and this is a big accomplishment winning against a fighter of his caliber,” said Adames, who was born in the Dominican Republic and fights out of Washington Heights in New York City.

I am aggressive and speedy by nature, so I came in ready to do my thing. He started slow, wanting to see what would happen, and simply had the wrong game plan. He got a bit tired as the fight went on, took a lot of hard shots from me and it was evident that I caused him a lot of damage.”

“I expect my opponent to fight the same style. It was nothing special for me, just a quality fight,"Δήλωσε ο Derevyanchenko.

“He stayed southpaw, that was the difference in the fight. I don’t know what I’ll do next. I need a little bit of rest and then I will go back to the gym because I love boxing and I love the show.”

This gives me an opportunity to move on,” said Adames. “I dominate at both 154 και 160, so wherever they give me the opportunity to fight for a championship is where I’ll go.”

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME PPV telecast, super featherweight contender Eduardo “Zurdito” Ramirez (26-2-3, 12 KOs) was in peak form, winning a wide 10-round unanimous decision over former world title challenger Miguel Marriaga.

“I would like to thank the fans, SHOWTIME and the Montiel family for supporting me. Marriaga was a tough opponent, but I managed to dominate,” said Ramirez. “I had a varied fighting style and kept him on his toes the whole time.”

Μαριάγκα (30-5, 26 KOs) was the aggressor throughout, particularly in the first round as he backed Ramirez up with combination punching. The latter found his range midway through the frame, utilizing an accurate jab. In the third, a right hook followed by an overhand left floored an off-balance Marriaga for a flash knockdown.
“We started out strong, but then things got progressively harder. Having said that, we are pleased with the work we put in today,” said Marriaga. “We should have been more savvy, but we tried our hardest in the face of a great opportunity that unfortunately we could not take advantage of.”

Ramirez dominated after scoring the knockdown, punishing Marriaga from then on with an assortment of shots to the head and body. Final punch stats had Ramirez landing 280 του 762 (36.7%) total punches to Marriaga’s 159 εκτός 689 (21.3%).

“Now I’m going to relax with my family and enjoy the holidays,” said Ramirez. “Then hopefully 2022 will come with a title shot for me.
