Tickets for the live event are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com. The event is promoted by Canelo Promotions and TGB Promotions and sponsored by Hennessy and Value.

Dirrell (33-2-2, 24 KO), a two-time WBC 168-pound world champion, won the title for the first time with a unanimous decision over Sakio Bika in 2014. The native of Flint, mnie. dropped the title the next year to Badou Jack by majority decision, before putting together six straight victories to get back into position to fight for the championship again. He captured the title for a second time in 2019, winning a technical decision victory over Avni Yildirim. Ostatnio, Dirrell battled Kyrone Davis to a draw in February, in his first fight since a title fight defeat against David Benavidez in September 2019.

"Jestem bardzo gotowy do tej walki,” said Dirrell. “I know Hernandez is a tough competitor and I’m sure he’ll have a lot of fans there since we’re fighting on the same card as Canelo. But I know I’m ready to fight on the big stage and on a card of this magnitude. I fought on the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Shawn Porter undercard and I think this fight night is going to have a similar feel. I’m just prepared to do whatever I have to do to get the victory. The fans should expect fireworks. I’m not shying away from the action and hopefully I can get the winner of Canelo vs. Plant if I perform well on November 6.”

Fighting out of Fresno, Kalifornii., Hernández (15-4-2, 3 KO) has faced excellent competition in his career, battling a litany of tough fellow rising contenders. The 28-year-old most recently scored an impressive unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Armando Resendiz in September. In addition to his recent triumph, Hernández has twice faced former unified super welterweight champion Jeison Rosario, fighting to a draw in their first meeting before losing the rematch. He has also taken down then-unbeaten fighters in Kevin Newman II and Thomas Hill.

“I’m having a great training camp for this fight coming off of my performance in early September,"Powiedział Hernandez. “As always, the fans can expect me to bring an entertaining fight. I know that I’m up against a former world champion who’s accomplished a lot in his career. I’m just focusing on working hard every day to get the victory and everything that will come with it.”

The former WBC Super Bantamweight World Champion, Vargas (34-0, 22 KO) will return from layoff due to injury when he enters the ring on November 6. The 30-year-old went on the road to the U.K. to capture his title in 2017, winning a decision over previously unbeaten Gavin McDonnell. A native of Mexico City, Vargas made five successful defenses of his title, defeating top contenders including Oscar Negrete, Ronny Rios and Azat Hovhannisyan. His last fight and fifth successful title defense came via a unanimous decision over former world champion Tomoki Kameda in July 2019.

“I’m very happy for my return to the ring and my debut with PBC,” said Vargas. “You are going to see a renewed Rey Vargas on November 6. My opponent is a good fighter with speed who throws a lot of combinations. It will be a tough fight, but I know I have what it takes to win. I couldn’t be happier to be on the big stage on Canelo’s undercard. I know that I have to shine on fight night, take advantage of this showcase, and deliver a great fight for the fans.”

The Baja California, Mexico native Báez (21-4, 12 KO) enters this fight the winner of his last three outings, all coming by TKO. The 26-year-old put together the winning streak after defeats to the previously unbeaten Carlos Caraballo and former title challenger Jason Moloney. Báez, who has fought professionally since 2013, will fight in the U.S. for the fourth time on November 6. Amongst his stateside outings, Báez dominated former interim champion Moises Flores on his way to earning a unanimous decision in February 2020.

“I’m excited for this great challenge on November 6,” said Báez. “I’m planning on giving the fans a true Mexican war and leaving it all in the ring to get the victory. It’s an honor to fight on the Canelo undercard and I’m going to make the most of it. This is going to be a toe-to-toe war, and I’m going to show that he’s not able to stand up to my power and aggression.”

Rodríguez (11-1-1, 10 KO) burst onto the scene with knockout victories in 10 od jego pierwszy 11 Walki. He capped off a five-win 2020 campaign with a knockout of Cameron Krael in October and a decision victory against Luis Alberto Veron four months later. Fighting out of his native Santo Domingo, Dominikana, Rodríguez most recently dropped a narrow majority decision against Kenneth Sims Jr. w maju.

“I am very thankful to my team for getting me this tremendous opportunity opening up the pay-per-view for the biggest fight of the year,” said Rodríguez. “I have a tough opponent in front of me, but I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m ready to show everyone that I’m the real deal. My goal remains the same, and that’s to win a world title in 2022. Pierwszy, I am just focused on November 6 and making sure I take advantage of the opportunity that a victory will produce on my road to the world title.”

Romero (14-0, 9 KO) Kariera zawodowa w 2017 after fighting for his native Mexico at the 2016 Igrzyska Olimpijskie. The 31-year-old dispatched solid veterans Nestor Armas, Nestor Gonzalez and Ranses Payano in 2019, before earning a 10-round decision over Sergio Torres Alvarado in his only 2020 zawody. Romero made it back-to-back 10-round unanimous decision triumphs in April of this year, as he won his U.S. debut by defeating Deiner Berrio. Throughout his extensive amateur career, Romero owns an impressive victory over unbeaten welterweight contender Gabriel Maestre.

“I’m very excited that my team was able to get me this great opportunity to fight on a Canelo show in Las Vegas,”Powiedział Romero. “I feel just as happy and excited to fight as I did for the Olympic games. I’m going to prove what I’m made of on November 6. No matter who my opponent is, I always train hard and prepare to do whatever I can to earn the victory.”

LAS VEGAS (Październik 13, 2021) – WBA Welterweight Champion Jamal “Shango” James will defend his title against unbeaten contender Radzhab Butaev in a 12-round duel that headlines a night of action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Październik 30 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® telewizyjny zaczyna się 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and features rising welterweight star Jaron „Boots” Ennis in a 10-round showdown against veteran contender Thomas Dulorme w przypadku współ-main. Kicking off the telecast, exciting unbeaten lightweight contender Michel Rivera faces Argentina’s Matías Romero in a 10-round attraction.

Bilety na wydarzenia na żywo, która jest promowana przez TGB Promocje, są już w sprzedaży i można je kupić w AXS.com. Ennis vs. Dulorme is promoted in association with D&D Boks. Rivera vs.. Romero is promoted in association with Sampson Boxing.

“A stacked lineup of top contenders and up-and-coming future champions will be on full display October 30 on SHOWTIME in Las Vegas,- powiedział Tom Brown, Prezes TGB Promocje. “Jamal James has battled his way to the highest levels of the welterweight division and will get one step closer to gathering elite status if he can overcome the unbeaten Radzhab Butaev. The undercard bouts will also feature two rising stars, as Jaron Ennis and Michel Rivera look to impress in tough matchups on a big stage.”

Minneapolis’ James (27-1, 12 KO) returns to action after his previous outing saw him earn an interim title by defeating Thomas Dulorme in August 2020, before later being upgraded to the “regular” championship. The 33-year-old is riding a seven-bout winning streak that includes triumphs over Abel Ramos, Diego Gabriel Chaves and Antonio DeMarco, with four of those matchups coming in his hometown, where he has grown a rabid fan base. With a win on October 30, James moves nearer to a potential rematch of his first and only defeat against WBA Welterweight World Champion Yordenis Ugas.

“Training is and has been at 100%,” powiedział James. “I’m excited to finally get back in the ring and defend my title. This will be the fight where I show everyone why I’m elite in this profession and should be recognized as one of the best.”

The 27-year-old Butaev (13-0, 10 KO) will finally square off against James in a long-awaited matchup ordered by the WBA. Butaev turned pro after approximately 400 amateur bouts in 2016 and reeled-off KOs in six of his first seven outings. Originally from Russia and now fighting out of Brooklyn, N. Y., Butaev returned to the ring in December 2020, stopping previously unbeaten Terry Chatwood in the third round.

“We’ve been working hard for a year leading up to this fight,” said Butaev. “Everything is going really well in camp and we’re excited to finally get in the ring against James. I’ve seen how James fights and it’s definitely going to be a clash of styles. I can just promise that I’m going to bring the war and make this an exciting fight. I’m going to start writing my history on October 30.”

Ennis (27-0, 25 KO) is the latest in the pantheon of outstanding Philadelphia fighters, combining sublime boxing skills with natural power in both hands. After numerous appearances on ShoBox: Nowa Generacja, the 24-year-old Ennis graduated to headlining his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast in his last outing in April, as he became the first fighter to stop former world champion Sergey Lipinets. The knockout victory gave Ennis 17 KOs in his last 18 Walki, with the only blemish being a no-decision in the first round against Chris van Heerden in December 2020.

“I’m glad to be back in the ring October 30 on SHOWTIME in Las Vegas,”Powiedział Ennis. “This is another step towards becoming world champion! They haven’t seen nothing yet. It’s time for me to continue to shine and be great. I can’t wait to show out and have some fun.”

The 31-year-old Dulorme (25-5-1, 16 KO) has amassed a solid resume at 140 i 147 pounds during his career, climbing into the ring with world champions Yordenis Ugas, Jessie Vargas and Terence Crawford. Born in Marigot, Guadeloupe but representing Carolina, Portoryko, Dulorme rebounded from a loss to Crawford for a 140-pound title by scoring back-to-back knockouts, followed by a narrow decision loss to Ugas. The world title challenger is coming off solid efforts in back-to-back decision losses against Jamal James and Eimantas Stanionis.

“I think in the Stanionis fight I demonstrated that I am still at the top level,” said Dulorme. “A lot of people told me I won that fight and I thought I did too. I’m excited to face Ennis because he’s a good fighter, but he hasn’t fought anyone like me. The fans can expect another great performance from me on SHOWTIME.”

Urodził się w Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and now fighting out of Miami, Fla. Rivera (21-0, 14 KO) burst onto the scene in 2019, making his U.S. debut with a victory over Juan Rene Tellez. The 23-year-old continued his ascent in 2020, adding a stoppage win against Fidel Maldonado Jr. and a unanimous decision triumph against lightweight contender LaDarius Miller. Rivera has continued his dominance with a pair of knockout victories in 2021, stopping Anthony Mercado in February before most recently delivering a highlight-reel knockout of Jon Fernandez in July on SHOWTIME.

“Romero made a big mistake taking this fight,"Powiedział Rivera. “What he’s seen from me in the gym, is not the same thing that he’s going to see on fight night. He is far from a fight night fighter. He folds under pressure or runs. Jest dobrym wojownikiem, but he’s not at my level. I won’t let him go the distance like Isaac Cruz did. Października 30, I’m going to give him the beating of his lifetime.”

Romero (24-1, 8 KO) made his stateside debut in March, dropping a competitive decision to top lightweight contender Isaac Cruz on SHOWTIME. Poprzednio, the Cordoba, Argentina native picked up a pair of victories in 2020, winning a 12-round decision over Javier Jose Clavero in November, while stopping Gabriel Gustavo Ovejero in March. Pro od 2015, the 25-year-old will look to bounce back from his first defeat and move into title contention against another elite 135-pound opponent.

“Rivera and I have the same promoter and I personally requested for Sampson Lewkowicz to let me fight him when I saw he had no opponent,”Powiedział Romero. “I am willing to step in because I know I can beat him. We have trained at the same gym, but never sparred. His style is perfect for my style. This is going to be another victory for me to add to my collection.”

LOS ANGELES (Wrzesień 21, 2021) – Boxing’s consensus No. 1 funt do funta myśliwskich, Mexican superstar and unified WBA/WBC/WBO Super Middleweight World Champion Canelo Álvarez and undefeated IBF Super Middleweight World Champion Caleb “Sweethands” Plant met for an intense stare down that turned into a scuffle Tuesday at a press conference previewing their historic and highly anticipated undisputed super middleweight championship showdown.

During an extended face-off that kicked off the event, the fighters exchanged words and threw glancing blows before their respective teams rushed the stage to separate the combatants, escalating a rivalry that will culminate on fight night in just over six weeks.

Canelo and Plant will battle on Saturday, Listopad 6, live on SHOWTIME PPV at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas in a Premier Boxing Champions event, with the winner stamping his name in the history books as the first undisputed 168-pound world champion of the four-belt era.

Tickets for the live event are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com. The event is promoted by Canelo Promotions and TGB Promotions and sponsored by Hennessy and Value.

Eddy Reynoso, Canelo’s trainer and manager, and Justin Gamber, Plant’s trainer, joined their fighters on stage at the event in Beverly Hills. Oto, co we wtorek mieli do powiedzenia uczestnicy konferencji prasowej:

CANELO ÁLVAREZ

“You are not on my level and you will see on November 6. You don’t want to fight now, Obiecuję,.

“We come from nothing and we worked hard to be here. For somebody to lie and talk trash about us, that upset Eddy. It is what it is though. We just have to show everyone who we are on November 6.

“Caleb might be on the same level as Billy Joe Saunders and Callum Smith, but he’s not on my level. I respect that he isn’t here to back down. You can see from today that this is definitely going to be a good fight.

“I know what I need to do and I know a lot about him. He’s a good fighter but I know my skills. My experience is going to give me the edge in the fight. I have faced similar styles to Caleb’s against Floyd Mayweather, Erislandy Lara, Austin Trout and Saunders.

“He’s an insecure person and that’s why he came with a lot of excuses about lots of things. I don’t care about it though. I’m just going to do my best on November 6 and win the fight.

“To be undisputed is history for Mexico and for everyone on my team. To be the undisputed champion is just a great thing for my career.

On the on-stage scuffle: “You can say whatever to me, but not to my mom. I’m going to fight anyone who says something about my mom. And he swung first. I just pushed him. He swung first, and I do what I do. He crossed the line.

“It will be over in eight rounds or less. I’m going to knock out this guy. Easy.”

CALEB ROŚLIN

“I know only one thing better than proving people right, and that’s proving people wrong. I’ve been doing that my whole life. As soon as I stepped on the stage, people started talking about what I can’t accomplish and what I can’t do. Tam, skąd pochodzę, there is no boxing community. There was no other pro I could look to and say that if he can do it, then I can do it. All I had was my mind and my heart.

“I don’t do this to be famous or to get attention. When I first started, it was just me and my dad. No one thought I’d be standing here today. I can remember him and my grandfather scrounged up a little bit of money to open a little boxing gym. There was just one heavy bag hanging in the corner. But when you really want something, you don’t need all the fancy things. You just need your mind and your heart.

“I know that people don’t believe me when I tell them I’m winning on November 6. All those people who tell me that I can’t do something, you live believable lives and you do believable things. I promised myself that I was going to run this all the way to the top, with no problem crashing and burning along the way. I set out to live an unbelievable life and accomplish unbelievable things. Those people who doubt me are the very reason that I’m here.

“Miguel Cotto’s brother can make you do the chicken dance but I can’t? W porządku. Mark my words, listopada 6 you will hear the words, ‘And the new undisputed super middleweight champion,’ but you will also hear the words, ‘and still undefeated.’

“Being undisputed would mean a lot. I’ve sacrificed so much to this sport and I’ve been doing this a long time. All that work would come down to one moment. I want my name in those history books and that’s the only reason that I’m here.

On the on-stage scuffle: “We just had some normal back-and-forth banter up there and then whatever happened, happened. It’s none of my concern though. I’m focused and locked in on November 6.”

Eddy Reynoso, Canelo’s Trainer and Manager

“I think this is going to be a great fight, one where we unify the 168-pound division. As we do with every fight, we’re going to work hard in the gym. We’ve always worked hard in the gym.

“I’m a little upset by how things turned out today, but in the end we will settle things in the ring on November 6.

“The offensive language is what offended us the most. We are respectful people, and we move forward from this with our heads held up high. Now we are going to train well, win the fight and see what comes next after that.


“There are a lot of people who say things on social media but then they don’t show up. Some people want to take down a whole country and a great athlete that represents his country. They talk a lot of trash. You need to work hard though. You need to have guts to work as hard as we do.”

JUSTIN GAMBER, Plant’s Trainer

“I want to thank our whole team for believing in us and getting us this fight that we wanted and this opportunity to make history. It’s been blood sweat and tears, dosłownie, to get here. It’s been a long journey. This fight is not about money, it’s about legacy.

"W 1996, when I was 15-years-old, my favorite fighter was the IBF Super Middleweight World Champion Roy Jones Jr. Every fan back then craved an undisputed champion at 168-pounds and now I train the IBF champion and we’re going to be fighting for all of the marbles.

“Tune in on November 6 and you will see the first undisputed super middleweight champion of the world and he’s from Tennessee. Anything that happened today at this press conference is going to drive us and give us more hunger.

TOM BROWN, Prezes TGB Promocje

“It took a couple of tries, but here we are today with the undisputed super middleweight championship on November 6. It’s a real pleasure to be working with our network partners at SHOWTIME for this event. SHOWTIME has a long history of being involved in the sports’ biggest and most important events and that continues with this fight.

“It’s an honor to be working with the pound-for-pound king Canelo Álvarez, Eddy Reynoso and everyone with Canelo Promotions. I’m also thrilled to be back working with everyone on team Plant. I promoted Caleb’s pro debut in 2014 and it’s great to see him up here today in this position.

“Canelo holds three titles, while Caleb owns the fourth title in the 168-pound division. They’ll battle to become the first undisputed champ in the four-belt era. History will be made on November 6 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.”

STEPHEN Espinoza, Prezydent, Showtime Sports

“2021 has been a phenomenal year for SHOWTIME Boxing. It’s one of our most prolific years in recent memory. SHOWTIME has delivered 17 live boxing events so far this year, with several more to come. Eight world championship fights, multiple world title unifications and now two fights for the undisputed title as a very good year for SHOWTIME becomes a great year for SHOWTIME. SHOWTIME is the home of big fights. It’s the most trusted and longest-tenured network in boxing. There is no other network making a more meaningful or more significant commitment to the sport of boxing. We are the home of boxing’s biggest and best fights.

“We are proud to welcome Canelo Álvarez back to SHOWTIME. We also welcome Caleb Plant for his SHOWTIME debut. It was almost nine years ago – September 15, 2012 – that Canelo made his debut on SHOWTIME in a thrilling fight against Josesito Lopez. Nine years is a long time. That was a very young Canelo Álvarez and a very young Eddy Reynoso. That started an impressive run of fights in which Canelo demonstrated his willingness, desire and demand to take the toughest fights available. Together back in 2013, we set a record at the time for the biggest pay-per-view of all time as we helped launch Canelo as boxing’s newest pay-per-view star. Now nine years later, we are proud to welcome him back for this mega fight.”

BAKERSFIELD, TAKIE JAK. (Wrzesień 18, 2021) – Niepokonana rosnąca lekka perspektywa Jose Valenzuela (10–0, 6 KO) pokonany Twój Berrio (22–4–1, 13 KO) przez jednogłośną decyzję (100-90, 99-91, 98-92) w 10-rundowym turnieju głównym akcji FS1 PBC Fight Night, i na FOX Deportes, Sobota z Mechanics Bank Arena w Bakersfield, Kalifornia.

Valenzuela całkowicie zdominował pierwsze trzy zwrotki, lądowanie prawie cztery razy więcej ciosów, które wylądował Berrio.

W czwartej i piątej rundzie, Berrio znalazł trochę rytmu w swoim niekonwencjonalnym stylu i trafił kilka czystych strzałów na Valenzuela.

Jednak, Valenzuela wprowadziła pewne poprawki, nadal ciężko przepracował Berrio i zdominował większą część drugiej połowy walki.

Nawet kiedy Berrio wylądował prawą ręką w szczęce Valenzueli w ósmej rundzie, a następnie podążył za nią lewą ręką, która na krótko ogłuszyła Valenzuelę i odepchnęła go do tyłu, Berrio zdjął nogę z gazu, pozwalając Valenzueli odzyskać siły i wygrać ósmą rundę na dwóch kartach wyników sędziów.

Dziesiąta i ostatnia runda była totalnym lenistwem, w którym obaj zawodnicy zadawali ciosy, ale Valenzuela przeżył najlepsze z tego, co miał do zaoferowania Berrio i płynął do zwycięstwa w szerokiej decyzji.

Zaprezentowano współgłówne wydarzenie na FS1 Region Szansa (5–0–1, 5 KO) walczy Elon De Jesus (3–0–1, 2 KO) do remisu większościowego (57-55 na przypadek, 56-56, 56-56) w sześciorundowej atrakcji super koguciej.

De Jesus pozornie wyskoczył na wczesną przewagę, wylądował kilka potężnych praw overhandlowych w trzeciej rundzie, co spowodowało rozcięcie na czole Chance'a.

W czwartej rundzie, Chance i De Jesus zostali skręceni, a Chance pochylił się, aby się ustabilizować. Gdy Chance pochylił się do przodu, De Jesus zadał Chance'owi cios w tył głowy. Sędzia Jerry Cantu natychmiast odjął punkt De Jesus za wykroczenie.

W połowie piątej zwrotki, De Jesus zaliczył sensacyjne powalenie potężnym prawym górnym cięciem w szczękę Chance'a. Chance podniósł się z płótna i poskarżył się Cantu, że nic nie widzi. Cantu wezwał do przerwy, aby lekarz z ringu zbadał oczy De Jesusa, a lekarz zgodził się na kontynuowanie walki.

Chociaż De Jesus zdominował akcję przez cały czas i zdobył jedyne nokautowanie w konkursie, odjęcie punktów spowodowało remis większościowy, a Chance i De Jesus zachowali swoje niepokonane rekordy.

Prezentacja otwieracza FS1 Amed Medina (4–0, 3 KO) pokonując Abdur Abdullah (4–5, 0 KO) przez jednogłośną decyzję (40-35, 40-35, 40-35) w czterorundowym pojedynku super wagi piórkowej.

Medina, który nigdy nie walczył poza pierwszą rundą w swojej młodej karierze, powalił Abdullaha krótkim, prawy górny otwór w ramce otwierającej.

W ciągu kolejnych trzech rund, Medina kontrolowała akcję, lądowanie prawie trzy razy więcej ciosów, które wylądował Abdullah, w drodze do krzywej decyzji.

Impreza była promowana przez TGB Promotions.

CARSON, CALIF. (Sierpień 14, 2021) – WBO Bantamweight World Champion John Riel Casimero defeated two-division champion Guillermo Rigondeaux to retain his title Saturday night live on SHOWTIME headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Kalifornia.

A three-division world champion, Casimero (31-4, 21 KO) made his second successful title defense at 118-pounds, earning a career-best victory over the longtime 122-pound champion Rigondeaux (20-2, 13 KO), who moved down to bantamweight in 2020.

“I’m excited to get the win,” said Casimero. “Rigondeaux is a good boxer and two-time Olympic gold medalist. I was worried, because he said he wouldn’t run, but he ran the whole time.”

The bout started with an eventful first round, in which it appeared for a moment that a Casimero left hook to the back of Rigondeaux’s head would lead to a knockdown, but referee Jerry Cantu ruled the moment a slip. During the exchange, Casimero threw several punches while Rigondeaux was on one knee, earning a warning from the referee.

From that point on, Rigondeaux remained steadfast to a defensive strategy that saw Casimero forced to chase his opponent around the ring. Tymczasem, Casimero stayed dedicated to pushing forward, looking to slow Rigondeaux down with body shots to set up power shots to the head.

“My expectations were for a knockout,” said Casimero. “Me and all my fans wanted that. I did my best to knock him out, but he was just running and not fighting.”

Rigondeaux was content countering his charging opponent, doing a majority of his damage with variations of his dangerous left hand. In a bout with numerous close rounds, Casimero ended the fight with a narrow 47 do 44 edge in punches landed, w tym 41-28 tally in power punches.

Those power punches and sustained aggression proved to be enough for Casimero to hold onto his 118-pound title in the eyes of the judges, as scores of 117-111 i 116-112 overruled one judge’s 115-113 card in favor of Rigondeaux. While Rigondeaux disputed the decision, Casimero looked forward to potential unification clashes with WBC champion Nonito Donaire and WBA and IBF titleholder Naoya Inoue.

“Nobody wants to fight with me because I frustrate them in the ring,” said Rigondeaux. “I landed the punches that I needed to in order to win the fight tonight. This is how I win. I have these God-given skills and this is the way I display them. I’m a unique fighter. It’s my style and it’s the only one I know. You can see I’m still better than anyone else in the lighter weight classes and I’m going to keep fighting.”

“I had a three-fight plan,” said Casimero. “First was Rigondeaux, and I beat him. Next is Nonito Donaire and then finally Naoya Inoue.”

The co-main event saw rising contender Gary Antonio Russell (18-0, 12 KO) i były mistrz świata Emmanuel Rodriguez (19-2, 12 KO) fight to a no-decision just 16 seconds into the first round of their 118-pound matchup, after an accidental headbutt injured Rodriguez and ended the fight.

“It happens,” said Russell. “I was looking to establish my jab and I tried to set up a hook, and he came in at the same time. It’s very disappointing.”

“I feel okay,” said Rodriguez. “I’m a little frustrated after putting in all this work for the fight to end so quickly with nothing happening. With the headbutt, maybe if there was no blood, we would have been able to continue. But once I saw all the blood, I knew it was over.”

The crossroads battle for the Interim WBA Bantamweight Title was meant to offer Russell a chance to establish himself as a true title contender and give Rodriguez an opportunity to move one step closer to becoming a two-division champion. Rodriguez attempted to counter an incoming Russell attack, which led to the two southpaws clashing heads.

“I was actually in camp for about four months,” said Russell. “I prepared great for this fight. I was really looking to broadcast my talents and show everyone what’s in my arsenal. Niestety, the headbutt happened.”

Rodriguez fell to the canvas immediately and was bleeding from his nose, prompting referee Sharon Sands to wave off the bout, which was ruled a no-decision.

“Oczywiście, I would like to come right back,” said Russell. “If he can do it, I want to get right back in there with Rodriguez.”

“I don’t want to lose the condition that I’m in,” said Rodriguez. “I prepared really hard for this fight. As soon as the injury is fixed, I’ll be back in the ring and I’d like to fight Russell again.”

W pojedynku otwierającym, Były mistrz świata Rau'shee Warren (19-3, 5 KO) zdominowany Damien Vazquez (16-3-1, 12 KO) on his way to a second-round stoppage in their bantamweight showdown. Warren scored his first knockout victory since 2015, after going the distance in his previous eight fights.

“I was trying to show them something different this time around,” said Warren. “I have always had the power, but this training camp was very different. I was sitting on my punches and working on something different. It worked in the ring.

“I always knew I had that power and I always knew I had that speed. It’s just about taking your time in the ring and letting them come. Kiedy zobaczyłem okazję, I went for it.”

A three-time U.S. Olimpijczyk, Warren came out fast in the first round, using his speed advantage to beat Vazquez to the punch, connecting with a right hand midway through the frame that scored the fight’s first knockdown. Vazquez was able to rise to his feet, but was sent to the canvas for a second time moments later by another sharp right hand from Warren.

Cincinnati’s Warren landed an astounding 22 z 39 power punches in that first round, and continued his dominance into the second. Warren perfectly timed a straight left hand that badly rocked Vazquez, forcing referee Ray Corona to jump in and halt the bout at 2:18 W drugiej rundzie.

“Next fight is a title fight,” said Warren. “I am the number one contender for the WBA. I want to thank my team for putting me in this position and pushing me. They know what kind of fighter I am. I am going to be champion. Next fight I am grabbing that title. Maybe I will fight the winner of the main event tonight (Rigondeaux vs. Casimero)."

SHOWTIME featured highlights from a non-televised fight that saw undefeated rising prospect Brandun Lee (23-0, 21 KO) keep his perfect record intact, as he notched his 13th career first-round knockout with a sensational performance against Ezequiel Fernandez (28-5-1, 3 KO).

“Mój występ był dobry,”Powiedział Lee. “It could have been better. There’s always room for improvement. Na koniec dnia, we got the job done. I’m definitely ready for the next level. It’s only right for me to step up the competition. I’ll take on anybody who’s ready.”

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will replay Sunday, Sierpień 15 w 9 a.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and Tuesday, Sierpień 17 w 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME Extreme.

„Victor Ortiz i ja jesteśmy ekscytującymi wojownikami… wszyscy wiedzą, że będzie to przyjazna fanom walka psów," – Wojownik

Byli mistrzowie świata Robert Guerrero & Victor Ortiz spotyka się w sobotę w starciu wagi półśredniej All-Action, Sierpień 21 na karcie FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View z T-Mobile Arena w Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (Sierpień 13, 2021) – Były wielokrotny mistrz świata Robert „Duch” Guerrero zapoznał się z jego nadchodzącym starciem z innym awanturnikiem „Złośliwy” Victor Ortiz zanim zmierzą się z Manny Pacquiao vs. Yordenis Ugas FOX Sports PBC Karta płatnicza w sobotę, Sierpień 21 z T-Mobile Arena w Las Vegas.

Bilety na wydarzenia na żywo, która jest promowana przez TGB Promotions i MP Promotions, są już w sprzedaży i można je kupić przez tmobilearena.com i axs.com.

Dwaj byli mistrzowie świata są znani ze swoich agresywnych stylów i byli w wielu kandydatach do Walki Roku w całej swojej bogatej karierze. Sierpnia 21 spotykają się, aby zdobyć zwycięstwo, które pozwoli im ponownie walczyć o tytuł mistrza świata.

Oto, co Guerrero miał do powiedzenia na temat pojedynku, obóz treningowy i nie tylko:

O jego nadchodzącym pojedynku z Victorem Ortiz:

„Ta walka nadchodziła od dawna, o ile pamiętam było to wspominane lata temu, ale nigdy się nie zdarzyło. Jestem podekscytowany tą walką, ponieważ oboje potrzebujemy wygranej, a fani doskonale znają oba nasze style. Victor Ortiz i ja jesteśmy ekscytującymi wojownikami, i wszyscy wiedzą, że to będzie przyjazna fanom walka psów. Walka z Victorem to rodzaj walki, który mnie podekscytował, że mam pełny profesjonalny obóz treningowy. Jestem wdzięczny za walkę na tej ogromnej karcie FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View, i dam z siebie wszystko.”

Na swoim ostatnim obozie treningowym z trenerem i ojcem Rubenem Guerrero:

„Bardzo ciężko pracowałem na ten obóz, w rzeczywistości, mój ojciec Ruben i ja pojechaliśmy na obóz do Las Vegas i przywieźliśmy kilku młodych wojowników, aby mnie zmotywować. Udało mi się sparingować z DJ Zamorą III, kto jest bardzo szybki?. Karmię się wszystkimi młodymi zawodnikami, którzy ze mną trenują, i to właśnie utrzymuje mnie w świeżości. Musisz przebywać w pobliżu głodnych wojowników, którzy mają motywację do pozostania na tym poziomie, ponieważ łatwo jest stracić koncentrację, jeśli jesteś tylko ty na siłowni.”

O powrocie na ring po długiej przerwie:

"W tym momencie w mojej karierze, chodzi o zdobycie najlepszych walk. Usunąłem rdzę i teraz chodzi o walkę, która mnie i fanów ekscytuje. Wszyscy to wiedzą, kiedy walczę, przynoszę to, a Victor Ortiz jest również ekscytującym wojownikiem. Jestem w punkcie, w którym zrobiłem dużo w tym sporcie, więc nie będę walczył co drugi miesiąc, jak wtedy, gdy byłam kandydatem. Kiedy wiesz jak walczyć, zwolnienie nie zawsze jest złą rzeczą.”

O tym, co wygrana zrobi dla jego kariery:

„Zwycięstwo tutaj stawia mnie w pozycji rywalizacji o tytuł mistrza świata, i to powinno być celem każdego, kto walczy, zdobyć tytuł mistrza świata. Jeśli nie walczysz o tytuł mistrza świata, nie powinieneś być w sporcie. Chcę zdobyć przynajmniej jeszcze jeden tytuł mistrza świata, zanim wszystko zostanie powiedziane i zrobione. To wzniosły cel, ale wierzę w siebie.”

Two-Division World Champion Guillermo Rigondeaux Takes Bantamweight World Champion John Riel Casimero Saturday, Sierpień 14 Live on SHOWTIME Headlining a Premier Boxing Champions Event from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Kalifornia

STAFFORD, Teksas. (Sierpień 5, 2021) – Dwudywizyjny mistrz świata Guillermo Rigondeaux gave insight into his training camp as he prepares to take on WBO Bantamweight World Champion John Riel Casimero w sobotę, Sierpień 14 in the main event live on SHOWTIME from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Wydarzenie jest promowane przez TGB Promotions. Bilety są już w sprzedaży i można je kupić na AXS.com. The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will begin at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and will see Cuba’s two-time Olympic gold medalist Rigondeaux, who has earned pound-for-pound recognition at various points in his career, return to action against the Philippine’s Casimero, a three-division world champion looking for a career-best victory in his second 118-pound title defense.

Here is what Rigondeaux had to say about training camp with Ronnie Shields and more:

On his upcoming matchup with John Riel Casimero: “It has been a very focused camp, and I have found inspiration watching the Olympics, and it has lit a spark in me. Winning two gold medals in my early years gives me added incentive to win this fight. I want to prove to the world that I am one of the best boxers ever, and that I have a lot left to give in this sport. I am confident that I am going to do that against the most avoided fighter in my weight class. Casimero is a dangerous fighter and a very powerful puncher, but I’m going to tame him with great boxing skills.”

On his recent training camp with coach Ronnie Shields: “Training in Texas with Ronnie Shields has been great and our energy working together is fantastic. Ronnie has had a lot of world champions, and has a very professional boxing gym, with a lot of world champions and fighters who are competing at the highest level of the sport. I am motivated to work hard, not just to reach my own goals, but by all the young fighters in the gym who are driven and focused. The atmosphere has brought something new out of me. I’m revived and feeling young again.”

On fighting for WBO world title: “It always feels good fighting for a world title, and I have had the WBO title before after I beat Nonito Donaire, but this time I’m going up against a hungry young lion. I am looking to capture another world title, and give another great fight that fans will talk about for years.”

On returning to the ring after a year-long layoff: "Czuję się dobrze. I think at this point in my career, all the time away from the ring helps. I know how to fight and I know how to train, the big thing is knowing how to recover, and not damage my body. I am doing a good job at staying sharp in the gym, but not over training. A win against Casimero will do wonders for my career.”
