Arreola’s workout took place at the Ten Goose Boxing Gym in Van Nuys, California where Arreola is participating in his second training camp with Goossen. Arreola’s first fight with Goossen saw the veteran former title challenger set numerous CompuBox heavyweight records in a narrow decision loss to Adam Kownacki.
Here is what Arreola and Goossen had to say Wednesday:
CHRIS ARREOLA
“I’m ready for this fight. I’ve been waiting for this fight for four or five months. This one is going to be a barnburner for sure.
“This fight is important for my legacy. I want to make the fans happy they bought this fight. I don’t fight for paychecks. I’m a fighter for the fans. So I hope they enjoy this fight and buy this pay-per-view.
“I love what I do. I’m a fortunate person to have been a fighter since a young age. I bleed boxing. I put my whole self out there every time I fight. I know that I owe it to the fans to give them a great fight.
“Defensively I’ve grown so much working with Joe. He’s taught me a lot about keeping my hands up and countering. He hasn’t reinvented the wheel, he’s just made sure the wheel is round.
“I was able to keep up the pace against Kownacki because I did everything I had to do in the gym. I could have given three more rounds at the end of that fight too. The fight is always won in the gym and we put all of the work in to win that fight. I thought I won that fight. Despite not getting the decision, it was a fun fight for me.
"Ek voel goed. I’ve been working hard for months. I know that I have to make this a great fight for the fans and for myself. I know how crucial this fight is for my career.
“I don’t pay attention to the odds. If people want to make me the underdog, I’m comfortable with that. I’ve been an underdog my whole life.
“I’ve had some long layoffs before, so I know how to get back into it when the time comes. The sparring helps you know where your timing is at. That’s the best way to gauge where you’re at in your training camp.
“It’s a beautiful venue at Dignity Health Sports Park. There isn’t a bad seat in the house. Every time I go there I love to sit up there with all the fans and enjoy the fights. It’s going to be a fun night of boxing on May 1 and I can’t wait.”
JOE GOOSSEN, Arreola’s Trainer
“Chris and Andy are veterans. They’ve been around a longtime. They know how to turn on the switch when the time comes. We’re preparing for a great fight on May 1.
“When you have two guys of the same talent, how do you determine who wins the fight? It’s the fighter who’s in better shape. That’s the underlying thought process here. Both Chris and Andy have talent, but our goal is for Chris to be in the best shape possible. The difference plays itself out in those last few rounds of the fight.
“You’re going to have the best Andy Ruiz that we’ve seen in this fight. And we have the same on our side. Our team has been working hard as well. I don’t expect anything but a great fight. However many rounds this goes, dit gaan vuurwerke wees.
“We’ve been training for around four months but he hasn’t peaked too early because we’ve been consistent. Once we built up to a certain point, we’ve kept it there. He’s not worn out at all. This is what fighters are supposed to do. They’re supposed to be in the gym training.
“I’m very confident and calm heading into this fight, because Chris has been doing exactly what he’s supposed to be doing. That’s all you can ask for.”

Ek trek in gewig op om 'n wêreldkampioen te word en vir die wêreld te wys dat ek gereed is vir nuwe uitdagings. '
Oor wat 'n oorwinning vir sy loopbaan sal beteken: “'N Oorwinning teen LaManna sal my in staat stel om die ander kampioene in middelgewig uit te daag. Ek kyk na eenwordingstryde, Ek wil die grootste aanvalle moontlik hê, maar ek moet eers hierdie stryd wen. Daar is baie sinvolle gevegte teen middelgewig, en ek wil hulle almal hê. Ek wil 'n Hall-of-Famer wees en as een van die beste Kubaanse boksers ooit doen. Vir my nalatenskap om so te dink, Ek moet die beste veg.”

“I love training with a young, hungry fighter like Jesús. We feed off of each other’s energy,” – Abel Ramos “We both have the same goal, which is to win on May 1… If I’m ever tired, I just look to Abel and know that I have to keep pushing,” – Jesús Ramos Welterweight Contender Abel Ramos & Rising Welterweight Star Jesús Ramos Preview Respective Showdowns on FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View Undercard Taking Place Saturday, Mei 1 van Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Kalifornië CASA GRANDE, DIE. (April 14, 2021) – Welterweight contender Abel Ramos and his nephew, rising welterweight star Jesús Ramos, discussed their family’s bond through boxing while previewing their upcoming respective showdowns taking place Saturday, Mei 1 in FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View undercard action from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Kalifornië.
Abel Ramos will step in to face former world champion Omar “Panterita” Figueroa in the co-main event of the pay-per-view, while Jesús Ramos will battle Javier “El Intocable” Molina in a welterweight attraction that kicks off the pay-per-view at 9 namiddag. ET / 6 pm. PT.
Abel and Jesús are trained by Abel’s brother and Jesús’ father, Jesús Ramos Sr. in their hometown of Casa Grande, Arizona. Both have spoken effusively about how training alongside a family member, and a fighter at a different point in their career, helps push them during camp.
“It’s great working with Abel,” said Jesús. “We both have the same goal, which is to win on May 1. If I’m ever tired, I just look to Abel and know that I have to keep pushing. I’m always able to ask him for advice and we help each other a lot.”
“It’s great training with a young, hungry fighter like Jesús,” said Abel. “We feed off of each other’s energy, and there’s lots of competitiveness when we train. I think that’s a good thing for both of us.”
Both Abel and Jesús have known since Jesús was little that this was a path the younger Ramos would eventually walk. For Jesús, he’s always used Abel as his inspiration to help get him where he is today.
“Deep down I always knew he’d get into boxing,” said Abel. “He was at all of my fights when he was younger and he always showed an interest in the sport.”
“Abel is the guy that I’ve looked up to since I was a little kid,” said Jesús. “I watched him box from a very young age and have learned a lot from him. Seeing him do it has always inspired me. He’s always taken tough fights and that’s inspiring too. He’s played a huge role in getting me to where I am today.”
While the 20-year-old Jesús is considered a young up-and-comer in the sport, who will be taking on his toughest test May 1 in Javier Molina, Abel believes that his nephew will show wisdom beyond his years in this fight.
“People think because Jesús is young that he doesn’t have experience, but that’s where they’re wrong,” said Abel. “At a very young age he displayed a lot of the abilities of a veteran fighter. He’s always had great patience, as well as the ability to think in the ring. His ring IQ is really high for his age.”
Ahead of the two fighting Ramos’ sharing the pay-per-view undercard on May 1, here is what Abel and Jesús had to say about their training camp, their respective showdowns and more:
ABEL RAMOS
“We’re less than three weeks away now, and every week I feel stronger and more ready for May 1. I’ve been sparring with a bunch of local fighters from Arizona who are helping prepare me. The hardest part is yet to come, but I’m just focusing on the game plan and executing the same program that’s worked in the past.
“It’s great to be a part of this event and show the fans the warrior mentality that us Mexican and Mexican-American fighters have. I can’t wait to put on a great show! It’s motivating for me to showcase our warrior style and it’s making me work my absolute hardest in order to give my best on fight night.
“I learned a lot from facing Yordenis Ugas. I went back and watched that fight, and I saw some things I can improve on. It serves as motivation, but it also showed me that I belong in there with the best in the division. I don’t feel like it was a total loss because I learned from it. But in this fight, I’m going to show all the improvements I’ve made since the Ugas fight.
“I watched Figueroa’s fight against Ugas. But styles make fights and I think my fight against Figueroa is going to be different than what Figueroa and Ugas had. I expect way more action when I face Omar.
“The majority of the game plan is preparing for Figueroa to come forward. We’re getting sparring partners that mimic what Figueroa does. Even when I’m working on the heavy bag, we’re keeping that in mind. I’m constantly imagining someone in front of me who I know is going to throw a lot of punches.
“At the end of the day, I just want the win by any means necessary. I love that people are expecting a great fight from us and I just use that as motivation to prepare myself for what I know will be a grudge match.”
JESÚS RAMOS
“Everything is going how we planned for in this training camp. It’s a grind seven days a week. I’m just keeping up a good diet and focusing on strength and conditioning. We’re going 12 rounds in sparring and I’m feeling ready. I’m in great shape already and we still have two and a half weeks to go. I’ve been sparring with my uncle Abel, Jorge Cota and some other local fighters from Arizona.
“I think Molina has a lot of experience, which I know he’ll try to use against me. He’s a fighter with good speed. But when he fought Jose Pedraza, he struggled against a southpaw. So, I might cause him some problems there, but I’m also bigger than Pedraza. I’m a legit welterweight.
“This fight being so close to Cinco De Mayo, this is a huge deal for me. There are going to be tons of events and festivities that week and to be a part of all of that is an honor. I just want to represent Mexico in the best way that I can.
“A victory over Molina would be a big statement. A lot of people are saying that he’s my toughest opponent to date. And beating him will get me fights with some even bigger names. But I have to beat Molina first.
“I’d love to get a knockout against Molina. He’s faced some tough fighters and nobody has been able to knock him out. But if I can’t get the knockout then I just want to dominate him and look good getting the win however I can.”

Op sy onlangse oefenkamp:
“It was another brutal camp in San Antonio with coach Rick Nunez. We got a lot of hard rounds in with some very tough sparring partners. I’ve been working on throwing more power shots while sustaining good defense. I’ve made all the sacrifices necessary to be in the best shape of my life and I’ll be at my best come this Saturday.”
On his upcoming fight with Elias Araujo: “Araujo has a good record with a lot of experience, and he has double the number of fights that I’ve had. Since Araujo has only fought once in the U.S., I know he’s coming to fight, so I’m expecting to go to war. This will be my toughest fight so far in my career, and I’m going to be ready for anything he brings to the ring.”
On making his 2021 debut on FOX: “I’m so grateful to be fighting once again FOX PBC Fight Night. It’s the big stage that gets me excited and I want nothing more than to put on a great performance for the fans. It doesn’t get bigger than FOX, so believe me when I say I’m ready to let my hands go.”
On what fans can expect to see in this fight:
“I’m coming to make a statement in this fight. Araujo has never been stopped, so to end this fight early will be something special that no one has ever done. Fans can expect to see me throw a lot of power shots with bad intentions.”

The 32-year-old Joe Goossen-trained Lipinets (16-2-1, 12 Uitklophoue) of Woodland Hills, Kalifornië., showed determination in weathering the onslaught of combinations from Ennis. An uppercut floored the Kazakhstan-born Lipinets and sent him to the canvas for the second time in his professional career in the fourth round. Prior to tonight, Lipinets had only been down in his other professional loss which came at the hands of four-division world champion Mikey Garcia.
“Lipinets has been in there with the best before, so I wasn’t surprised he held up for a while,” added Ennis. “I knew he’d be durable. That’s why I didn’t jump on the gas right away. I just took my time and broke him down.”
In the sixth round, Ennis poured it on Lipinets from all angles as he beautifully assembled combinations. The budding superstar has yet to go past the sixth round in his professional career as he has amassed a remarkable 89% uitklophou verhouding. Ennis was up 49-45 on two scorecards and 50-44 on the final judges’ card prior to the right hook to left uppercut combination that resulted in the fight being stopped at 2:11 of round six. Saturday night marked Ennis’ first time headlining SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING
“I think I graduated tonight,” stated Ennis. “It’s on the up and up now. It’s onto bigger and better fights now.”
In die Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP boks mede-funksie, a pair of hard-hitting welterweights went toe-to-toe asEimantas Stanionis (13-0, 9 Uitklophoue) beat former world title challengerThomas Dulorme (25-5-1, 16 Uitklophoue) via unanimous decision in a WBA Welterweight Title Eliminator. This was the most difficult challenge of the rising 26-year-old’s career as Dulorme took him past the ninth round for the first time. The three ringside judges scored the fight 115-113, 116-112 en 117-111.
“It’s been a dream since I was a kid watching SHOWTIME to be on this stage,”Het Stanionis gesê. “I’m proud of what I’ve achieved. I’ve had a long hard journey to get here, but it’s been worth it.”
The two fighters combined for nearly 1,400 punches in their exciting welterweight battle. Stanionis outlanded the 31-year-old Dulorme 232 te 193 and edged his opponent with higher connection percentages across the board. Most notably, Stanionis worked well behind his powerful jab, landing 123 total throughout the 12-round fight.
“Dulorme always threw back at me, even if I hurt him,” stated Stanionis, who is one step closer to becoming Lithuania’s first world champion. “I knew that if I was wild, he could have caught me with a good shot. I have more confidence in myself now because I know I can go 12 rounds with a good fighter. I know how the pressure will hit me now. Enigiets kan gebeur in hierdie sport, so I made sure I was prepared coming into this fight.”
In die 10ste ronde, a nasty cut opened above the left eye of Dulorme which was ruled by referee Harvey Dock to have resulted from a punch. The fight came to a fantastic finish as the Lithuanian prospect went for the knockout in the 12steround but the veteran Dulorme did not subdue to the pressure.
In die uitsending opener, IBF Junior Bantamweight World ChampionJerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas (31-1-2, 22 Uitklophoue) successfully defended his title for the ninth time with a unanimous decision victory overJonathan Rodriguez (21-2, 16 Uitklophoue) in an action-packed 12-round affair. The victory extends Ancajas’ streak of consecutive title defenses to nine, which marks the most of any current world champion. Fighting out of the Philippines, the 29-year-old controlled the pace of the fight with a consistent dedication to the body, where he landed 131 van sy 232 totale stoot.
“I’m very happy to get the win. I waited a long time for the opportunity to get back in the ring and it’s exciting to win in my first fight on this stage fighting on SHOWTIME,”Het Ancajas gesê. “This was my toughest fight so far. It was the hardest of any of my nine defenses and it’s exciting that it was on a big card. I trained hard for this opportunity and it feels great to get the win.”
The title fight featured back-and-forth action with Mexico’s Rodriguez pressuring and baiting the champion to fight him at close distance. At the end of the eighth round, Ancajas finished a flurry of punches with a huge right hand that sent Rodriguez to the canvas for the first time in his career.
“I thought he was going to be stopped because I saw him look at his corner and it didn’t look like he wanted to go on,” continued Ancajas. “But he got up and fought and I respect him for doing that.”
The ringside judges scored the fight 115-112, 116-111 en 117-110 for Ancajas, while unofficial ringside scorer Steve Farhood tallied the fight at 114-113. Farhood agreed with the three official judges in giving the final three rounds to Rodriguez. Despite dropping the decision, the 25-year-old Rodriguez impressed fight fans with his tremendous determination and high-level skill in his first world title fight and U.S. debuut.
“I don’t think it was a just decision,” said Rodriguez. “I thought maybe a split decision, and I would accept it a little more. But we knew coming in that the judges were against us in this fight.”
Vrydagaand, BELLATOR on SHOWTIME took center stage at Mohegan Sun Arena with the first fight of the BELLATOR MMA Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix that saw current heavyweight champion Ryan Bader avenge his 2012 loss to Lyoto Machida with a dominating unanimous decision to move onto the next round. Bader made an appearance on Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast to reflect on his impressive victory.
“It was very sweet [to get revenge]. It was a gauge to see how far I’ve grown, sedert 2012. And I’ve done a lot, and he’s done a lot. So to go out there and implement my game plan and stick to what we do and go out there and be victorious, it couldn’t be sweeter.”

ANDY RUIZ JR.
'Ek is regtig gemotiveerd vir Mei 1. Ons oefen albei hard en werk elke dag vir hierdie een. My mentaliteit is waar dit moet wees en ek is gereed om 'n wonderlike vertoning te lewer.
'Eddy sien die potensiaal wat ek het, en hy het vir my gesê dat ek gedissiplineer moet word as ek saam met hom gaan werk. Ek dink nie ek was ooit waar nie 100 persent toegewy tot nou toe. Ek is omring deur groot kampioene soos Canelo Alvarez, Oscar Valdez en Ryan Garcia, wat my help motiveer en dit is 'n seën om elke dag by Eddy te leer.
'Om met Eddy te werk, het my mentaliteit help verander. Sy mentaliteit is dat ons niks as vanselfsprekend kan aanvaar in hierdie sport nie. Ons het aan baie verskillende dinge gewerk en ek het die vermoë om baie nuwe dinge saam met Eddy te doen. Ek kan nie wag om vir almal die nuwe Andy Ruiz Jr.. Mei 1 omdat ek nou meer gemotiveerd is as wat ek nog nooit tevore was nie.
'Ek het baie geleer by elke afrigter wat ek gehad het, en ek is dankbaar vir almal. Saam met Eddy, hy hou daarvan om elke slag en elke beweging in die ring te vervolmaak. Die vlak van detail is iets wat ek nog nooit op hierdie vlak gehad het nie.
'Arreola is 'n vegter wat baie slae kan slaan. Hy is sterk, maar ons gaan by die wedstrydplan hou en gedissiplineerd bly.
'Om my laaste stryd te verloor, was verwoestend. Ek het nie die dinge gedoen wat ek moes doen nie. Dit was die belangrikste stryd in my loopbaan. Ek het my hele lewe lank gewag om kampioen te word en ek het dinge begin doen wat ek nooit gedink het ek sou kon doen nie. Ek wil nie weer dieselfde foute maak nie, en dit is 'n groot deel van wat my motiveer.
'Noudat ek gewig op die regte manier gedaal het, Ek voel ongelooflik. Ek voel dat ek baie meer dinge kan doen wat ek nog nie voorheen kon doen nie weens my liggaam. Die hemel is die limiet vir my.
'Ek het nog steeds 'n wrok in my binneste oor die tweede Anthony Joshua-stryd, want ek wil nie weer op daardie pad gaan nie. Ek wil net gedissiplineerd bly vir hierdie stryd en al die groot gevegte in my toekoms.
'Ek het van Arreola geleer dat ons albei vegters is. Ons gee nie op nie. Ons ontvang graag slae en gee dit terug. As ons in daardie ring is, dis net besigheid.
'Dit gaan 'n stryd met alle aksies wees. Ek weet Arreola oefen baie hard en ek is opgewonde vir alles wat hy gaan bring. Ek kan nie wag om al my verbeterings aan die mense daarbuite te wys nie. '
CHRIS ARREOLA
'Dit is 'n stryd wat ek gesien het kom sedert die eerste keer dat ek Andy gespaar het. Destyds was hy net 'n popperige kind en ek het niks aan hom gedink nie, totdat hy daardie hande gooi. Daardie hande was vinnig en dodelik. Ek het op daardie stadium geweet dat hierdie stryd eendag sou kom.
'Ek was 'n rukkie gereed vir hierdie stryd. Op 'n stadium wou hy soos ek wees, en nou wil ek soos hy wees en swaargewigkampioen word. Hy het alles verdien wat hy gekry het, en nou is dit my tyd om alles te doen om die geskiedenis te verander en te bewys dat ek 'n elite-swaargewig is.
'Ek het alles in opleiding gegee, maar ons gaan aanhou werk. Ek is opgewonde vir Mei 1 want dit gaan beslis 'n soort geveg wees. '
'Ek weet dat Andy sterk lyk en dit 'n groot stryd gaan maak. Dit is 'n stryd waaroor mense moet praat. Daar is meer werk om te doen, maar ek sal gereed wees om die wêreld op Mei te skok 1.
'Dit was nie soseer die uitset wat vir my verbeter het in die Adam Kownacki-stryd nie, maar dit is die feit dat ek combo's kon gooi toe ek wou. Ek glo dat die slegste wat ek in die stryd moes kry, gelykop was. Óf manier, my plan is om in nog 'n beter toestand te wees vir hierdie stryd teen Ruiz.
'Daar is nie te veel dinge waaroor ek in my lewe spyt is nie. Ja, Ek het later in my loopbaan meer dissipline gevind, maar ek is nie een wat te veel op die verlede steun nie. Daar is niks wat ek kan verander nie, behalwe wat more gebeur.
'Noudat ek hierdie nuwe toegevoegde energie in my het, en regtig hierdie nuwe liefde vir die spel, dit maak dit vir my makliker om in die gimnasium te kom en na Joe te luister.
'Andy was baie beskeie toe ek hom die eerste keer bespaar het. Ek het nie gedink dat hy die handspoed en vaardighede sou hê wat hy gehad het nie. Ek het daardie dag 'n onbeskofte ontwaking gehad. Ons het mekaar die hande opgelê. In plaas daarvan om op te hou, hy het aangehou kom. Dit was 'n prettige sparring-sessie. Daarom was ek een van die mense wat voorspel het dat hy Joshua die eerste geveg gaan klop.
'Ek weet dat ek 'n slim spelplan moet saambring. Aan die einde van die dag, ons gaan die rock 'em sock' em oomblikke hê. Andy het baie handspoed. So ek weet dit as ek nie my hande terugbring nie, Ek sal gevang word. '
EDDY REYNOSO, Ruiz’s Trainer
'Andy het soveel tyd gegee en was so toegewyd aan sy werk in die gimnasium. Ons is opgewonde vir Mei 1. Hy is gemotiveerd en leer elke dag baie.
'Ons weet dit op Mei 1 ons gaan te doen hê met 'n aggressiewe vegter wat sy beste gaan lewer. Andy is opgewonde oor die uitdaging wat Arreola bied.
'Mei 1 gaan die tweede begin van Andy se loopbaan wees. Dit is die begin van sy strewe om weer kampioen te word. Ons respekteer Arreola, maar ons gaan daar ingaan om die werk op Mei gedoen te kry 1.
'Andy is sterk en hy het 'n geweldige fokus. Ek moet Andy gelukwens met sy poging en toewyding tot dusver. Ek glo dit op Mei 1, almal gaan 'n baie ander en verbeterde Andy Ruiz Jr..
'Ek het met Andy en sy hele span gesels en hulle het ons die vertroue gegee dat Andy hard sou werk. Hy het presies dit gedoen. Die fokus is dat hy weer wêreldkampioen word. Daar is baie groot vegters in swaargewig, maar ons glo almal dat Andy met hierdie harde werk gaan wys wie hy regtig is. '
JOE GOOSSEN, Arreola’s Trainer
'Dit is twee vegters wat bekend is vir wat hulle die beste doen, en dit gaan vir die uitklophou. Hulle laat dit dadelik van die openingsklok af vlieg.
'Eddy oefen Andy tans en dit is 'n wonderlike wedstryd, net soos ek en Chris is 'n goeie wedstryd. Ek verwag dat albei vegters in 'n fantastiese vorm sal wees. Ek weet dat Eddy nie Andy sou oplei nie, tensy hy die program toegewy het.
'Ons oefen nou al maande. Chris was baie toegewyd en het sy vaardighede verskerp om vir Mei gereed te wees 1. Albei ouens wil wen. Die druk is op albei ouens om hard daarvoor te werk. Geen ou glo dat hulle die 'b-kant' is nie en dit is hoe hulle moet voel. As u twee vaardige vegters met daardie mentaliteit het, dit gaan 'n groot stryd wees.
'Wanneer het u ooit Chris of Andy in 'n slegte stryd gesien?? Hulle gee albei alles en as ek nie vir Chris opgelei het nie, Ek sal beslis kyk. As dit alles gesê en gedoen word, Ek glo dit gaan 'n stryd wees wat in die geskiedenisboeke opgeneem word.
'Andy se styl is Andy se styl. Soos hy self gesê het, die verskil is wat hy met 'n ander liggaam kan doen. Dit gaan 'n nuwe en verbeterde styl wees. Dit is moeilik om u hele styl te verander, maar hy gaan wys dat hy sy styl bygevoeg het. '
TOM BROWN, President van TGB Promotions
“Dignity Health Sports Park is die voorste buiteboks-lokaal in die VS.. Dit was die tuiste van 'n paar ware moderne klassieke. Iets spesiaals gebeur as vegters in daardie tonnel afstap. Dit is soos gladiators wat die Colosseum binnekom.
“Andy Ruiz Jr vs.. Chris Arreola is gewaarborg dat dit weer 'n groot stryd sal wees tussen twee Mexikaans-Amerikaanse krygers uit Suid-Kalifornië. Dwarsdeur hul geskiedenis, die oomblik toe hulle die ring binnestap, hierdie vegters het boksondersteuners geëlektrifiseer.
'Hierdie stryd sal 'n skraal fees wees. Albei vegters het ondersteunersvriendelik, all-action style en dit is veilig om te sê dat Ruiz en Arreola nog nooit in die ring gestap het om net te wen nie - hulle wil die uitklophou hê. Dit gaan dus bomme weg wees op Mei 1.
'Ons is baie opgewonde oor hierdie betaal-per-kyk-kaart met vier all-action-gevegte. Ons begin die aksie met die jong vooruitsig, Jesus Ramos, wat Javier Molina aanvat in 'n wedstryd wat die toekoms van die boks is teenoor 'n veteraan-Olimpiese. Ons het ook 'n opkomende ster in Sebastian Fundora teen 'n ware mededinger in Jorge Cota. Meer, die mede-hoofbyeenkoms met Omar Figueroa teen Abel Ramos het die potensiaal om 'n Mexikaanse Gatti vs.. Ward tipe stryd. ”

Maar soms trap trapklippe jou op, en ek sal my bes doen om hom op April op te stoot 10. Ek doen net my bes om voorbereid te wees op wat ek verwag om 'n hondegeveg te wees. Elke aanhanger wat boks ken, weet dat dit 'n ware oorlog gaan wees en die moeite werd om in te skakel. Ek verwag dat ons soms in 'n telefoonhokkie sal veg, maar ek verwag ook dat hy sy reikwydte sal probeer gebruik en soms op 'n afstand moet veg. Maar maak nie saak wat hy doen nie, Ek sal gereed wees vir hom. '
Stanionis (12-0, 9 Uitklophoue) het 'n rits indrukwekkende oorwinnings saamgestel toe hy die vooruitsig tot die kandidaat opgeklim het.

Op papier, dit is my moeilikste geveg, maar ek is gereed. Ek sal voorbereid wees op alles wat hy bring. Met ons style, dit gaan 'n oorlog te wees. Ek is nou gereed om te veg. Iemand gaan onder en maak nie saak wat gebeur nie, die ondersteuners gaan wen. ”

Mexiko se Rodríguez (22-1, 16 Uitklophoue) het die bynaam "Titan" gekry vanweë sy wonderlike mag.

Phoenix’s Benavidez (24-0, 21 Uitklophoue) flashed brilliant hand speed, accuracy and power as he dominated Ellis (18-2-2, 12 Uitklophoue) van Lynn, Massa., oor 11 rounds before referee Johnny Callas finally waved off the fight at 2:03 of the penultimate round. The 24-year-old star held a significant lead on all three scorecards (99-91, 98-92 x2) at the time of the stoppage.
“I rate my performance pretty good but I know I could have done better,” said Benavidez, who extended his perfect record to 24-0. “Ronald Ellis is a tough competitor. I just hope the fans like what they saw. I threw a lot of combinations, punches in bunches. There were a lot of times I thought Ellis was going to quit but he didn’t. Hats off to him, hy is 'n moeilike man. It was a little later than I wanted but a stoppage is still a stoppage. I hope the fans got a good show tonight.”
A boxing prodigy turned youngest super middleweight world champion in boxing history, Benavidez turned in a masterful performance as evidenced by his punch stats, landing 289 van 532 power punches thrown for an eye-popping connection rate of 54%. Benavidez connected on 50 punches in the 11steround which ultimately led to the stoppage. Both fighters combined to throw 1,403 stoot. Following his dominating win on SHOWTIME, Benavidez is one step closer to reclaiming a super middleweight world title.
“I want all the big guys,” Benavidez added. “Speaking for the fans too, they would love to see me against all the big guys because as you can see, I love throwing punches. I love stopping people so me versus any big name would be an amazing fight. Ek wil [Jermall] Charlo, Rumo Alvarez, Kaleb Plant, all of them.”
Ellis, 31, showed tremendous determination and a very sturdy chin as he absorbed the constant onslaught from the former two-time world champion. Often working off the ropes as Benavidez pressed the action, Ellis landed 89 van sy 334 jabs.
“I could have popped the jab and controlled things a little bit more and not let him smother me,"Het Ellis. “Hell yeah I wanted to finish. I didn’t want to give him that satisfaction. I could have moved a little bit more and not taken so many shots to the head. Hats off to him. He did what he had to do. Hy het my nog nooit seer, that’s the funny thing. I took a lot of shots but he didn’t damage me or have me super hurt. I never thought about quitting.”
The sports world lost an icon today as the death of Marvelous Marvin Hagler was reported hours before the live telecast began. A member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Hagler, wat was 66 jaar oud, fought in the first main event ever on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on March 10, 1986.

Benavidez reflected on Hagler’s passing after the fight: 'Ek het Marvin al een keer ontmoet en hy was 'n groot kampioen. Iemand het my vertel dat hy die eerste geveg op SHOWTIME gevoer het. Iemand in my span het my 'n paar uur voor die geveg laat weet dat hy geslaag het. Dit is hartseer en hy sal gemis word. Hy was 'n ware legende. ”
In die mede-hoofren, Isaac Cruz (21-1-1, 15 Uitklophoue) van Mexikostad behaal 'n eenparige beslissende oorwinning oor Argentinië s'n Matias Romero (24-1, 8 Uitklophoue) in 'n WBA liggewig titel eliminator van 12 rondes. Dit was die eerste keer dat die 22-jarige Cruz gegaan het 12 ronde in sy professionele loopbaan. Die beoordelaars se telkaarte lees 114-113, 115-112 en 118-109. SHOWTIME se nie-amptelike puntemaker Steve Farhood het die stryd aangeteken 115-112, rondes gee 10 deur 12 na die opkomende ster.
'Ek is nie gelukkig oor die styl van die geveg nie, maar ek is tevrede dat ek die oorwinning huis toe geneem het en dat ons op die nr. 1 plek in die WBA,"Sê Cruz. 'Ek het nie geweet wat gaan gebeur nie [so ver as die beoordelaars]. Ons het die geveg te alle tye gedwing en dit sou vir die beoordelaars baie onmoontlik gewees het om iets aan my te doen toe ek die stryd was. ”
Dwarsdeur die 36-minute-verhouding, Cruz het voortdurend druk op sy teenstander toegepas wat tot Romero gelei het, die meer ervare professionele, om buitensporig vas te hou in 'n poging om die druk te stuit. Ondanks die feit dat hy gereeld deur skeidsregter Harvey Dock gewaarsku is, die 24-jarige Romero is nooit gestraf nie. Tydens die onstuimige wedstryd, egter, Cruz was in die sesde ronde 'n punt vas vir 'n lae slag.
'Hy was 'n vegter wat nie slae wou uitruil nie,”Het Cruz bygevoeg, met verwysing na die aanhoudende beklemming. 'Ek was baie keelvol vir die klinkers - daar was nooit 'n waarskuwing teenoor hom nie. Ek het my bes daar buite gedoen. Nie die beste manier waarop ek dit wou doen nie, maar dank God dat ons die stryd gewen het en ons die oorwinning huis toe neem. '
Romero het gedurende die geveg 'n effektiewe jab aangebied, landing 89 van 282, maar dit was Cruz se kragpons wat hom uiteindelik die oorwinning besorg het. Kruis, wie is nou die nr. 1 mededinger vir 'n wêreldtitel wat op 135 pond, geland 145 van 459 krag stoot, insluitend 91 liggaam skote.
'Ek is natuurlik nie gelukkig met die besluit nie,”Het Romero gesê na aanleiding van sy eerste professionele verlies. 'Ek het gedink miskien was dit 'n loslootjie. Oor die algemeen is ek tevrede met my prestasie. Hy is veronderstel om die 'Pit Bull' te wees en ek het die ent gegaan. You have to take the opportunities when they are presented and I wish I would have had more time to get ready for this fight.”
In the evening’s opening bout, Cleveland se Terrell Gausha (22-2-1, 11 Uitklophoue) scored an impressive second-round technical knockout over fellow OhioanJamontay Clark (15-2-1, 7 Uitklophoue) van Cincinnati. Gausha, 33, did not land a single power punch in the opening round but worked well behind the jab, winning the round on two of the judges’ scorecards. As the second round neared completion, Gausha beautifully countered a lunging left hand from the southpaw Clark which sent the 26-year-old to the canvas for the first time in his professional career. Clark beat the count but moments later was met by a barrage of unanswered punches in the neutral corner. Referee Arthur Mercante jumped in and called a halt to the bout at 2:44 van die tweede ronde.
“I knew Jamontay was a tough kid, I’ve been watching him since Cleveland so I knew about him already,” said Gausha. “I felt like I had a chance to knock him out but I didn’t know how the fight would play out. But I feel I did good, executed the game plan. My coaches had been studying film and we executed.
“I just took my time,” added Gausha. “I was setting traps. I knew he would be open eventually, but I had to be cautious too because he’s a rangy guy, has a good left hand. But I knew there were holes in his game and we executed and when the opportunity presented itself, we landed that big right hand.”
With his emphatic stoppage win, die 2012 Olympian emerges as a contender for a title shot in the super welterweight division. In his first and only world title shot in 2017, Gausha dropped a unanimous decision to current super welterweight world champion Erislandy Lara.
“I know I made a statement tonight,” added Gausha. “I put the division on notice. I’m locked and loaded and I’m ready. I want to be a world champion so I’m looking to fight whoever I need to fight to get to the belts.”
