Jaron Ennis vs. Chris van Heerden Declared No Decision After Accidental Headbutt; Gary Antonio Russell Scores Technical Decision Victory Over Juan Carlos Payano Kliknite OVDJE za Fotografije iz Amanda Westcott / Showtime (Photos will be uploaded shortly) Uncasville, Conn. – December 20, 2020 – Undefeated bantamweightReymart Gaballoscored a controversial split-decision victory over former world championEmmanuel Rodriguezin the main event of Saturday night’sSHOWTIMEBOXING: SPECIAL EDITION iz Mohegan Sun Arene u Uncasvilleu, Konektikat, u događaju koji su predstavili Premier Boxing Champions. S pobjedom, Gaballo picked up the vacant interim WBC Bantamweight Title.
Saturday’s headliner in the last SHOWTIME BOXING event of 2020 was competitive from the opening bell. In only three of the twelve rounds were Rodriguez and Gaballo separated by more than three landed punches. Sveukupno, Gaballo (24-0, 20 Kos) threw 148 more punches than Rodriguez (19-2, 12 Kos), but still managed to connect on 16 fewer power punches. The punches of the 28-year-old Rodriguez seemed to be cleaner, as he wobbled the Filipino Gaballo on more than one occasion. Međutim, two of the judges favored Gaballo’s aggression over Rodriguez’s ring generalship.
SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 118-110 in favor of Rodriguez and SHOWTIME analyst and former world champion Raul Marquez was dismayed by the judges’ decision.
“There’s no way Gaballo could have won that fight,” said Marquez. “In the worst-case scenario, you could have maybe given him three rounds. I gave him no rounds.”
“I am very happy and blessed to win this belt,” said the 24-year-old Gaballo. “I was always moving forward and controlling the pace, so I thought it was a close fight that either of us could have won.
“I’m waiting for my team to tell me what they have planned for me next. I’m going to keep training hard so I’m always ready for the opportunity when it comes.”
„Bila je to dobra borba, but he only won about two or three rounds,” said Rodriguez. “There were two punches from me for every punch he landed. He knows he lost. Everyone knows we won. My team told me to go out and keep boxing him in the late rounds. We knew he needed a knockout in the twelfth round. That was his only chance to win.”
U suradnji-glavni događaj, Philadelphia’s undefeated welterweight sensationJaron Ennis (26-0, 24 Kos) saw his impressive 16-fight knockout streak come to a disappointing end after an accidental headbutt in the first round caused a brutal cut to the forehead of his opponent, Chris van Heerden (28-2-1, 12 Kos).

With only two minutes and thirty-nine seconds inside the ring to showcase his skills, Ennis was still able to flash glimpses of his championship potential as he landed 22 od 57 punches, 19 of them power shots as he appeared destined to stop the South African van Heerden and keep his KO streak alive before the clash of heads.
“Before the headbutt I had already cut him and I felt strong,” said a disappointed Ennis. “I knew he was ready to go. I feel like I’m getting better and better. Now I’ll just get back in the gym. As you could see from the first round, I was handling him easily. I feel like everyone is still sleeping on me, but I’m ready for anyone. Bring on the big names.”
U TV prijenos otvarač, bantamweight contenderGary Antonio Russell (18-0, 12 Kos) kept his unblemished record intact with a technical decision victory over former world championJuan Carlos Payano (21-5, 9 Kos). After an accidental headbutt caused a bad cut to the left brow of Payano, referee David Fields stopped the fight after the sixth round at the advice of the ringside physician. The fight went to the scorecards, where Russell led on all three cards (58-56, 59-55, 59-55).
Prije ozljede, Russell and Payano were engaged in a scrappy brawl that saw multiple exchanges of power punches. In the closing seconds of the sixth, and ultimately final round, Russell caught Payano with a counter-shot that hurt Payano. Russell landed 86 od 243 punches while Payano landed just 58 od 268 punches. Russell flashed excellent body work throughout the fight, out landing Payano 40 za 17 on body shots.

Unbeaten Interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion Colbert Battles Hard-Hitting Arboleda in Main Event Live on SHOWTIME® ove subote, Prosinac 12
NEW YORK – Prosinac 8, 2020 – Unbeaten interim WBA Super Featherweight ChampionChris “Primetime” Colbertwill look to make a statement in his first nationally televised main event as he faces hard-hittingJaime Arboledalive on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Prosinac 12 na 9 poslije podne. ET / 6 poslije podne. PT in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
“I always knew I was going to get here,” said Colbert. “It’s all God’s plan. This is just going to be another day for me and I’ll show everyone why I’m one of the best 130-pounders in the world.”
The 24-year-old Colbert has shot up the rankings of the 130-pound weight class and believes that a victory on Saturday night will lead to bigger opportunities in the jam-packed division.
“This is one of the most stacked divisions in boxing and I love competing in it,” said Colbert. “It’s great to be getting noticed in a division that has this much talent, and hopefully it’ll lead to me getting the big fights that I need. I don’t feel like there’s any certain fighter I’m targeting, but Gervonta Davis, Leo Santa Cruz and Jamel Herring would all be great fights for me. Beating them would help me become ‘the guy’ in the division.”
Colbert’s rise continued in his last fight, as he scored a 10th-round knockdown against former champion Jezreel Corrales on his way to a decision win while showing an impressive array of skills against a fighter determined to slow the action through holding and other veteran tricks.
“Against Corrales I learned not to rush,” said Colbert. “It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. I can’t just go rush in there and expect everyone to get knocked out. I had to take my time, do what I do best and stick to my game plan.”
In the 26-year-old Arboleda, Colbert will be presented with another rising 130-pound contender with his own sights set on emerging amongst the elite in the division. Arboleda has won five of his last six fights by stoppage and most recently dropped Jayson Velez on his way to a decision victory in February on SHOWTIME.
“Come December 12, Ja sam spreman za sve što on donosi,” said Colbert. “I expect him to bring pressure and ‘try’ to make me tired because that’s the only chance he has. He can’t outbox me. That’s not happening. But I love to bang inside and I’m ready for whatever he does. I hope he doesn’t run or clinch me because I’d love to get the knockout and get him out of there early.”
The Brooklyn-native Colbert has continued to work with his longtime coach Aureliano Sosa in his hometown through the difficulties of the pandemic. Those difficulties have led to Colbert sparring with larger welterweight and super welterweights in camp, which Colbert believes could help him with the power Arboleda will bring into the fight.
“Training camp has been going great for the most part,” said Colbert. “It’s just been a little hard finding sparring partners. But because it’s been difficult to find fighters at my weight I’ve actually been sparring with 147 and 154-pound fighters. I honestly love that because it prepares me better, and who’s to say that Arboleda won’t have power like them? I’m on weight now, iako, and ready to put on a show on December 12.”

Unbeaten Rising Super Lightweight Prospect Hitchins Battles Former Champion Argenis Méndez In Co-Main Event Live on SHOWTIME® ove subote, Prosinac 12 Kliknite OVDJE za fotografije s promocija Mayweather NEW YORK – Prosinac 7, 2020 – Unbeaten rising prospectRichardson Hitchins shared details of his training camp, including pointers and motivation he received from Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis, ahead of his super lightweight showdown against former world championArgenis Méndezlive on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Prosinac 12 na 9 poslije podne. ET / 6 poslije podne. PT in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
“Floyd helped me tremendously while I was back in Las Vegas,”Rekao je Hitchins. “I already have the fundamentals as a fighter, but he showed me little things here and there and workouts that I have taken back home with me while I train for this fight. I’m not shy about my ability as a fighter, because I truly believe I am the best up and coming fighter in the game, so these are the kind of fights I need in order to show the world who Richardson Hitchins is.
“Gervonta has been instrumental in past fight camps as well, and he’s the type of person you need. He pushes you to go harder. We go head-to-head in trying to outdo each other, and that’s the type of competition that’s needed in order to really be the best.”
Despite training throughout the pandemic, Hitchins has been able to remain on task and on track throughout his camp that began in Las Vegas before ending in his native Brooklyn under the guidance of his head coach Lenny Wilson.
“The thing about me is, I’m focused no matter what,”Rekao je Hitchins. “I don’t take ‘off’ after my fights. I stay in shape all year round; I don’t need to get ready in terms of conditioning or getting my body back in shape because this is my job. I take my job very seriously. The discipline Floyd has had throughout his career is the same discipline I have. I have watched my idols and taken things from them so that I can put myself in a position to win.
“I don’t think the pandemic or the holidays necessarily altered my training. I still have access to my gym. There’s nothing that’s going to stand in my way of becoming great. The pandemic doesn’t slow me down, it’s just another roadblock to test my dedication to the sport.”
The 23-year-old Hitchins represented Haiti at the 2016 Olympic Games and will return to the ring after debuting in 2020 with a 10-round decision victory over Nicholas DeLomba in February. It was Hitchins’ second 10-round decision win after his previous fight saw him best Kevin Johnson following 10 rounds in November 2019.
“I often think back to my fight against Kevin Johnson, he’s a tough fighter and he’s the one who I can confidently say brought the best out of me,”Rekao je Hitchins. “Those are the fights that make me look back and watch closely the things I need to work on. That fight also showed me that no one should be overlooked, so going into this fight against Mendez, I’m not overlooking him.”
Méndez presents the most accomplished opponent of Hitchins’ young career. The 34-year-old former champion most recently fought Juan Heraldez and Anthony Peterson to draws in 2019, and scored victories over Eddie Ramirez and Ivan Redkach prior to that. For Hitchins, the strong resume of his opponent is something he relishes as a measuring stick for his progress.
“He’s a veteran, he’s been in there with a lot of tough guys and he’s a former world champion, so he clearly has a skill set that I think I need to face at this point in my career,”Rekao je Hitchins. “I need those big fights. He’s older now, but I feel like him in his prime still couldn’t touch my skillset. It’s my job to prove that.
“I know this won’t be an easy fight, but I’ll be prepared for whatever he brings. My motivation is to be more than ordinary. I will fulfill my goals when this is all said and done, and honestly, I’m just waiting for this fight to come so I can show that. Whether it’s Méndez, or whoever, the conviction I have and how I feel about myself is stronger than anything standing in front of me in that ring.”

Spence was joined during the event by his longtime trainerDerrick James, while Garcia was accompanied by his father and trainerAngel Garcia.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Tuesday:
ERROL SPENCE JR.
“I feel blessed and ready to go. I feel like I’m 100% fizički. We’ve been training hard and staying focused. I can’t wait to give my hometown fans something to cheer for when I defend my title against a great opponent.
“I didn’t want any tune-up fights. I wanted someone who is tough and who could push me to the limit, so I can get back to being Errol Spence Jr. I’m going to give a great performance and hear ‘and still’ prosinca 5.
“I picked Danny Garcia so that I could rise to the occasion. I’m still the top dog in the division. Fighting Danny will show how great a fighter I am.
“Danny’s dad gets me hyped up talking about his son coming forward, throwing a lot of punches and taking the belts from me. So I’ll be ready for whatever Danny brings to the ring. I’m not going to get into any head games like with Shawn Porter. I fought Shawn’s game and beat him at his own game. I know Angel wants me to stand there and brawl with Danny, but I’m going to do what I have to do to win the fight.
“It’s up to me to make a big splash coming back from my car accident. Lesser opponents were for before I became champion. I finally got to the top, where I can fight the big names, so I’m not going backward. These are the guys I’ve wanted to fight forever.
“I definitely learn more from Danny’s wins. He has a lot of great wins. You learn a lot from all different kinds of fights. I’m a student of the game and a fan of the sport. All I do anyway is watch boxing. So I’m very familiar with Danny’s wins and losses.
“The accident just made me hungrier and even more focused. I have the same hunger now that I had before I won the title. I’m coming into camp much lighter and it’s helping me have an even better camp.
“I’m the champ, and at the end of the day, I can just fight. When it gets down to the wire, I know how to dig down deep and come out on top.
“It means everything to be fighting at home, especially with everyone going through the pandemic. I just want everyone who comes out to be safe and follow the protocols, and we’ll make it a great night.”
DANNY GARCIA
“Camp has been going great. My weight is good and I feel like we’re ahead of schedule. Now we’re just taking it one day at a time. I’m excited to be in this position to fight for the title again.
“U prosincu 5, no stone will be unturned. We’re going to give it 110% and take these titles from him in his hometown.
“I’ve been an underdog my whole career. I’m used to playing that role. I just have to go in there and be myself. I have to believe in myself 100% and fight round by round. I’m going to show what a true champion is made of.
“After the Garcia and Porter fights, I saw some holes in his game and I knew it would be a good opportunity to become champion again. These type of fights bring out the best in Danny Garcia. They give me the extra motivation that I need and that’s why I wanted it.
“I thought Spence was the bigger and better man against Mikey Garcia. Mikey has great skills, but Errol had size and let his hands go. It made Mikey freeze, so he didn’t take any risks. He did land some good counterpunches, and those are the kind of things that I’m taking into consideration during this camp.
“My job is to fight. I can’t go in there and worry about judges. They’re going to do what they do. My job is to put in the work in the gym so that I’m ready on fight night. I have to go in there and win rounds and win the fight.
“I know that I’m a great fighter. I’ve been in these type of fights before. I know what I’m made of. As long as I’m mentally and physically at my best, nobody can beat me. I’m a dangerous man when I have this focus.
“We’re taking this fight like Errol is 100%. We’re not banking on anything hindering him. We’re taking this as seriously as possible. We wanted this fight a long time ago, but we just had to stay focused. Now the fight is finally here and I feel like we’re going to have a great performance.
“I believe that I do everything great. I can bang inside and box. That’s why I’m a three-time world champion. I’ve faced every style imaginable and I’ve come out on top.”
DERRICK JAMES, Spence je trener
“Training camp has been really good. We’ve been putting in the hard work since March. Everything is coming together leading up to December 5. We took our time and it was a gradual process getting to this point. He was already in shape by the time this camp started so we had a great head start.
“Even when Errol was getting back into his rhythm, he was still looking good. But you could see the improvement day after day as he got more comfortable being back. Everyone will see on December 5 who Errol Spence Jr. really is.
“It’s great to be able to fight at home against a fighter like Danny. Putting on a great performance will build Errol’s legend and his stock will continue to rise. Errol has always been able to handle fighting in front of his hometown fans. We love everything that the city brings us and we feed off that energy in the ring.”
ANGEL GARCIA, Garcia’s Father & Trener
“Everything has been perfect in camp. You can see how good he’s looking right now. Danny would be ready to go tomorrow if we had to. It’s going to be a great night for me and Danny. Not taking anything from anybody, but we’re coming to take those titles.
“I never look at opponent’s tapes from past fights. We’re not going to learn anything from that. When I train Danny, I focus on Danny. All I know is how to make Danny better. We’re going to dictate the fight and be on top of Errol. We’re not going to fight like Mikey Garcia did and run all night.
“Ovaj put, we’re not going to leave it in the judges’ ruke. We chose to go fight him in Dallas. Danny made that call. Na kraju dana, Danny just has to go in there and do his thing.”
TOM BROWN, Predsjednik TGB Promocije
“Errol Spence Jr. vs. Danny Garcia is one of the most intriguing fights of this year and it is a fight that will determine who is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
“This will be a tremendous night of boxing and it will be at the home of the best pro sports franchise in the world, AT&T Stadium. This is the perfect host for a matchup with two fighters in their prime, both ready to put their legacies on the line.
“Spence is one of the most talked about fighters in the sport. Many consider him to be the best fighter in the world, and with good reason. He wants to be challenged and this is the type of fight that elevates our sport.
“Danny Garcia is a throwback fighter. He’s one of the most skilled and battle tested fighters in our sport. What he did at 140 funti, before moving up, was simply amazing. Putting these two together will bring back memories of great welterweight battles of the past.”

SAN ANTONIO – Studeni 1, 2020 – Gervonta “Spremnik” Davis delivered a Knockout of the Year candidate over four-division world champion Leo Santa Cruz in the most significant fight of his career, retaining his WBA Lightweight title and picking up the WBA Super Featherweight title Saturday night on SHOWTIME PPV®at the Alamodome in San Antonio in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions. It was the first major boxing event with fans in attendance since COVID-19 forced a halt to U.S. sports in March with an announced crowd of 9,024.
It was both fighters’ pay-per-view main event debut, and Davis (24-0, 23 Kos) i Santa Cruz (37-2-1, 19 Kos) delivered an all-action war that had the fans on their feet from start to finish. Borba, which was contested at 130 funti, saw both fighters stand in the pocket and press the action. It was in the sixth round when the defining moment of the night occurred, as Davis found an opening to land his trademark left uppercut, a knockout shot which Santa Cruz never saw coming. Davis proved that he is one of the most powerful punchers in the sport, stunning the crowd. Watch the KOOVDJE.
“The uppercut wasn’t the key coming into the fight, but I adapted to what he was bringing,” said Baltimore’s Davis. “I knew he was taller and crouching down and moving forward. Once he moved forward, I tried to jab and make him run into the shot. He was right there for it. He punches, but he doesn’t try to get out of the way. There was nowhere for him to go on that knockout because I got him into the corner.
The power and body attack of the 25-year-old Davis was the difference as he landed 55 percent of his power punches to 29 percent for Santa Cruz, who was having his best round of the fight in the sixth round prior to the defining punch. The stronger Davis lured the 32-year-old Santa Cruz into a firefight as 34 of Davis’ 84 landed punches were body shots.
“Leo is a tough warrior and a strong Mexican fighter,” rekao je Davis, who is promoted by all-time great Floyd Mayweather. “He came ready for me. I was just the better fighter tonight. I want to maintain both belts. Whatever decision me and my team comes up with, we’ll go with it. I’m not ducking or dodging anybody. I’m a pay-per-view star. Everybody knows I’m number one and I showed it tonight.”
“We didn’t get the win, but I’m okay,” rekao Santa Cruz, who was taken to a nearby hospital for observation.
Davis vs. Santa Cruz was a rare clash in boxing history in which world titles in two weight classes were at stake. Other notable instances in recent boxing history are the 1988 Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Donny Lalonde fight for the light heavyweight and super middleweight titles, a 2014 Floyd Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana rematch for the super welterweight and welterweight championships.
U suradnji značajke, San Antonio’s hometown favorite Mario Barrios (26-0, 17 Kos) kept his unbeaten record intact and retained his WBA Super Lightweight title with a sixth-round KO over a game and bloodied Ryan Karl (18-3, 12 Kos) on Halloween night. Watch the KOOVDJE.
The fight broke open in the sixth round when Barrios landed a straight right hand that sent Karl down for just the third time in his career. Karl’s problems were further exasperated after an accidental clash of heads created a brutal cut on his forehead which proved to be too much to cope with. The 25-year-old Barrios smelled blood and closed the show in emphatic fashion, landing a left hook that sent Karl down and out at 2:23 of the sixth round. U vrijeme prekida, Barrios was ahead on all three scorecards (48-47 a 49-46 dvaput).
In the all-important sixth round, Barrios landed 29 njegov 58 power punches against a very tough Karl, koji je bacio 60 punches per round but landed just 18 percent of those punches.
“This fight is for everybody who came out here in San Antonio tonight,” said Barrios following the win. “I told them we’d get this first title defense, and I hope everyone enjoyed it. I was just being patient and picking my shots. I started to really land them and got him out of there. I was ready to go a hard 12 kola, but my patience helped me get him out of there. I listened to what Virgil [Lovac] was telling me in the corner. It was great to get the job done here at home”
“I feel fine but it was a hard shot that I got hit with,” said Milano, Teksas’ “Kauboj” Karl. “It was a tough, good, close fight. It was a good headbutt. I was bleeding pretty good but overall I feel fine. I’m not a sore loser. Dolazim boriti, that’s what I expected. So congratulations to Mario on the win. We’ll move on from here.”
Former world champion Regis Prograis (25-1, 21 Kos) took the first step to getting back on top of the 140-pound division, scoring a third-round stoppage of Juan Heraldez (16-1-1, 10 Kos) in the second bout of the night. Watch the stoppageOVDJE.
U trećem kolu, the fight changed in an instant as Prograis took advantage of Heraldez keeping his hands too low by landing his most dangerous weapon, a dynamite left hook that sent Heraldez sprawling to the canvas. When Heraldez got back to his feet, PROGRAMI, who was born and raised in New Orleans but now fights out of Katy, Teksas, sensed his opponent was in danger and pounced on Heraldez, forcing referee Rafael Ramos to step in and stop the action at 1:23 of round number three.
U petak, PROGRAMI, who lost a 140-pound title unification fight to Josh Taylor last October, weighed in over the 140-pound limit.
“I’ve been out of the ring for a year so I think that had some effect on me not making weight,” said the 31-year-old Prograis. “Nema isprike, but the bubble also had some effect. Mainly it was the layoff though. My body wasn’t adjusted to making the weight again.
In the buildup to the fight, Prograis repeatedly stated he felt he was still the best in the world at 140 pounds and vowed to get his belt back.
“I still feel like I’m the best at 140,” Prograis reiterated to SHOWTIME’s Mauro Ranallo following the fight. “I’m going to keep proving it every time I fight. Me and Josh Taylor had a close fight, and I think if it had happened in the U.S. I would have won. We know that one day we’ll have to rematch at 140 or 147.”
The Las Vegas-based Heraldez, who is signed to Mayweather Promotions, was disappointed he didn’t get the chance to continue the fight despite landing just 12 total punches landed compared to Prograis’ 35.
“I just thought it was an early stoppage,” rekao je. “I was just getting warm, loose. He stunned me, but I don’t think they should’ve stopped the fight.”
In the pay-per-view telecast opener, Mexico City’s Isaac Cruz (20-1-1, 15 Kos) wasted no time in getting the fans on their feet, scoring a stunning first-round knockout of Diego Magdaleno (32-4, 13 Kos) samo 53 seconds into the night’s action. Watch the KOOVDJE.
The diminutive but powerful Cruz came out swinging immediately after hearing the opening bell, using his vicious uppercut to knock down the 34-year-old Magdaleno for the 11thtime in his career inside of 30 sekundi. Samo 20 seconds after Magdaleno got to his feet, Cruz again unleashed a barrage of punches with Magdaleno against the ropes, finishing him off with back-to-back right uppercuts. In a short night of work, Cruz managed to land 21 od 31 punches, 20 of which were power shots.
With the win in the IBF Title Eliminator, Cruz puts himself in position to challenge lightweight world champion Teofimo Lopez down the line.
“The new Mike Tyson from Mexico was born tonight,” said the 22-year-old Cruz. “I thought it would go longer, but my natural instinct is always to go for it in the first round. I have confidence that I could win the world title right now. I thought it was a statement win. From now on, hopefully everyone will know my name and I’ll get the big fights. I would love a Teofimo Lopez fight. I’m very motivated right now. If he’s tough enough to take it, bring it on.”

Evo što su sudionici tiskovne konferencije imali reći u četvrtak:
GERVONTA DAVIS
“Moj tim i ja odlučili smo preseliti svoj kamp u Las Vegas kako bismo mogli imati savršen kamp. Potrošili smo 15 tjedana na treningu, tako da sam dobro pripremljen. Nadamo se da je Leo dobro pripremljen i dajemo navijačima ono što žele vidjeti.
“Znamo da će Leo doći s puno udaraca i da ću biti eksplozivan. Sve je u tome da obožavateljima pružite poslasticu. Zahvalan sam što sam na ovoj poziciji i spreman sam. Subota navečer bit će noć za pamćenje.
“Ne uzeti mu ništa, Yuriorkis Gamboa samo je pokušavao preživjeti protiv mene. Teže je skinuti udarce kad netko ne pokušava donijeti borbu. Znam da će se Leo doći boriti. Mislim da će me ova izvedba podići na sljedeću razinu.
“Mislim da ga ne moram nokautirati, Jednostavno moram tamo izaći i biti sjajan. Zaboravi sve ostalo, Jednostavno moram izaći tamo i pokazati svima da sam najbolji čovjek u svijetu boksa. To mi je glavni cilj.
“Michael Jordan znao je čitati novine i raditi ono što su govorili da ne može. To je ono što radim. Moram dokazati da sam u subotu navečer najlošiji čovjek u tom sportu.
“Leo će se doći boriti i samo se ja pojačam i radim ono što radim najbolje. Potencijal u borcu možete vidjeti izvana, ali morate vidjeti kako to zapravo izlazi u borbi da biste u to povjerovali. U tom sam položaju. Svi znaju da sam sjajna, Jednostavno to moram pokazati.
“Leo je pokazao da je vrhunski borac, i diže se protiv eksploziva, moćan borac poput mene. Mislim da bi pobjednik trebao biti u vrhu 10 popisa funta za funtu.
“Floyd Mayweather upravo mi je rekao da ostanem usredotočen unatoč svemu što dolazi s tjednom plati-po-gledanju. Prvo moram obaviti posao, ali i učiniti sve što dolazi s tim da budete sljedeća zvijezda s plaćanjem po prikazu.
“Jedan sam od onih boraca koji se znaju usredotočiti kad imam nešto veliko ispred sebe. Nitko od sjajnih boraca prije mene nije se smrznuo kad je vrijeme krčenja. Uvijek sam se mogao usredotočiti kad su velike stvari na redu. To sam učinio za ovaj trening kamp.
“Nisam zapravo fokusiran na nekoga tko nije Leo Santa Cruz. Ne mogu previdjeti Lea. Što se tiče bilo kojeg drugog borca tamo, oni mi trenutno nisu važni. Dokazat ću to usput. Ovo je korak bliže dokazivanju onog što želim dokazati. "
LEO SANTA CRUZ
“To je ono o čemu sam oduvijek sanjao. Kad sam bio mali dječak, Htio sam biti na ovoj pozornici. Živim taj san i jako sam sretna i uzbuđena. Nikad nisam mislio da ću to postići. Mislio sam da je to poput dobitka na lutriji. Ali hvala navijačima, Ovdje sam gdje jesam.
“Suočavam se s najboljim borcem u diviziji. Ako želite biti najbolji, morate pobijediti najbolje. Moram ići protiv najboljeg borca. Htio sam se izazvati. Znam da je ovo opasna borba za mene, ali želim se testirati.
„Oboje smo pretrpjeli i prošli puno toga da bismo došli ovdje. Nitko od nas ne želi se vratiti tamo gdje smo započeli. Tako da znam da ćemo se oboje sjajno boriti s navijačima.
“Imam srce meksičkog ratnika. Tata mi je rekao da se borim pametno, ali iako će to reći, postoje dobre šanse da se na kraju ponekad posvađam s njim. Bez obzira, naći ćemo način da ga pobijedimo.
“Zapravo se ne brinem hoće li biti underdog. Svatko ima svoje mišljenje. Moj je posao otići tamo i dokazati da sumnjajući nisu u pravu. Vredno sam trenirao da odem tamo i odradim tu subotu.
“Gervonta je najbolji protivnik s kojim sam se suočio. On je najjači borac s kojim ću se suočiti. Borbe Abner Mares i Carl Frampton bile su sjajno iskustvo za ovu vrstu borbe. Puno sam naučio iz te četiri borbe i od tada sam naučio puno više.
“Značilo bi mi da svijet postanem prvak petoligaša. Bilo bi to još jedno ostvarenje sna. Stavio bih prezime Santa Cruz tamo gore s najboljima.
“Gervonta je krupan momak i znam da će ga teško udariti. Ali trenirao sam s većim momcima po cijelom kampu i uspio sam podnijeti sve što mi se baci.
“Navijači žele da idete i napravite rat naprijed-nazad. Znam da se protiv Gervonte moram pametno boriti. Jednostavno ću se potruditi poslušati očev savjet.
“Definitivno sam se borio da utihnem kritičare. Ljudi su govorili da se ne želim boriti protiv velikih imena. Pa sam krenuo nakon najvećeg izazova u diviziji, a to je Gervonta Davis.
“Mišljenja prepuštam navijačima i medijima. Moj posao je izvojevati pobjedu i pružiti navijačima veliku borbu. Dat ću sve od sebe i sve to ostaviti u ringu. "
CALVIN FORD, Davisov trener
“Kamp je bio sjajan. Bilo je nevjerojatno. Zaista cijenim rad koji je uložio. Jedva čekam da vidim Tanka u ringu. Radujem se sjajnim nastupima oba borca.
"'Tank' je postigao puno stvari koje sam od njega tražio, ali ovo je vrhunac svih njih ovdje. Obje ove obitelji hodale su istom linijom s različitim stazama. Oboje imaju šansu da ovom pobjedom postanu velikani.
“Svaki put kad sada pogledam‘ Tank ’, Vraćam se na one mlađe godine u teretani s njim kao dijete. Sad je čovjek kakav sam ga uvijek gledala. On je obiteljski čovjek, poslovni čovjek i divan borac. Nevjerojatno je vidjeti jednog od mojih dječaka koji su odrasli. "
JOSÉ SANTA CRUZ, Otac i trener Santa Cruza
“Imali smo zaista dobar trening kamp i razumijemo važnost ove borbe. Leo je u potpunosti spreman za ovu borbu u subotu i očekujem da će sjajno nastupiti.
“Jako sam zahvalna što sam ovdje. Tako sam sretna što sam ovdje sa svojim sinom zbog tako velike borbe i mogu ga voditi i pomoći mu da ostvari svoj san.
“Znamo da je Davis vrlo jak i uspješan borac. Ali Leo ga je upravo iskoristio da ga motivira u teretani svaki dan, a to ćete moći vidjeti u subotu. "
STEPHEN Espinoza, Predsjednik, Sport i programiranje događaja, Showtime Networks Inc.
“Jedan od najvećih razloga zbog kojeg volim boks je zato što moramo svjedočiti mladićima, poput 'Tank' Davisa i Lea Santa Cruza, razvijati se i sazrijevati pred našim očima. Ovo je naša deveta borba s 'Tankom' i 13th s Lavom. Vidjeli smo ih zrele kao borce i vidjeli smo ih zrele kao mladiće. Vidjeli smo ih kako se muče, znoj, i trijumf. Vidjeli smo kako su postali očevi. "
"Sjećam se kad sam prvi put sreo" Tank ", bio je travanj 2016 u Washingtonu, D.C. Bio je na neteleviziranom donjem dijelu borbe Adriena Bronera. Već se borio, prišao je za vrijeme prijenosa i Floyd ga je predstavio. Sjećam se baš njegovih riječi, ‘Ovo je moj mladi borac. Pazite na ovo dijete. ’I od tada gledamo.
“Sjećam se da sam Lea prvi put sreo u lipnju 2012. Nešto prije svoje prve borbe za svjetski naslov. Bio je vrlo skroman, miran, blago rečeno, gotovo sramežljivi mladići. Vrlo različito od tipa o kojem sam vidjela u ringu 48 sati nakon toga. Poanta je, bili smo zajedno za putovanje ovih mladića.
“Oni se bore protiv šansi, doslovno od rođenja. Imali smo sreće provesti vrijeme s njima tijekom All Access. Otvorili su svoja srca, njihov um, i sami da podijele svoje priče. Najviše sam čuo da poteškoća u ovoj borbi nije u tome žele li je ljudi gledati ili će je kupiti, to je za koga će navijati. Jer ako znate priče ovih mladića, što su prošli, i što su doživjeli, to je nevjerojatno.
„Suština je u tome što kod ova dva mladića imamo dva najuspješnija i najpopularnija mlada borca u ovom sportu danas. Leo je od tada gotovo dosljedno prvak 2012. ‘Tank’ je imao rasprodaje ili u blizini prodaja u Los Angelesu, Baltimore i Atlanta, samo prošle godine. Ova dva izvrsna mladića su se potukla u subotu navečer. Morate poštivati njihovo putovanje, odakle dolaze, i poštujte timove koji dolaze oko njega.
“Znamo što će se dogoditi u subotu navečer. Leo će doći u ring, bacajte puno udaraca i pokažite brzinu aktivnosti koja se razlikuje od gotovo svih ostalih u sportu. 'Tank' će pokazati snagu, brzina, i atletičnost koja ga je učinila jednom od mladih zvijezda s najbržim usponom koje smo vidjeli u sportu već neko vrijeme. Iznad toga, to će ovisiti o njima, baš kao što to ovisi o njima cijeli život. "
O DAVIS VS. DEDA MRAZ Davis vs. Santa Cruz vidjet će trostrukog svjetskog prvaka Gervonta „Tank” Davis i četveroligaški svjetski prvak Leo "Potres" Santa Cruz bitka za WBA Super perolako i WBA prvenstvo u lakoj kategoriji s naslovom SHOWTIME PPV u subotu, Listopad 31 (9 poslije podne.

Bivši svjetski prvak Lipinets, bitke bez poraza Custio Clayton za privremeni IBF naslov u poluteškoj kategoriji Uživo na Showtime® Subota, Listopad 24 Naslovnica a Premier događaj boksačkih prvaka NEW YORK (Listopad 20, 2020) – Čak i s promjenom datuma, a zatim i protivnika, Bivši svjetski prvak Sergey Lipinets ostaje izuzetno siguran u svoj trening kamp i sveukupne pripreme dok se priprema za pobjed neporaženih Custio Clayton za privremeni IBF naslov u poluteškoj kategoriji uživo u emisiji SHOWTIME ove subote, Listopad 24 (9 poslije podne. ET / 6 poslije podne. PT) zaokružujući događaj Premier Boxing Champions.
“Nikad nismo propustili nijedan ritam priprema, čak i uz promjenu protivnika,”Rekao je Lipinets. “Moja borba s Kudratillom Abdukakhorovom bila je uključena i isključena toliko dugo da sam već imao ideju da će biti prisiljen povući se, pa nisam bio šokiran. Baš me briga, iako. S kim god se moram boriti, spreman sam se boriti, tako da nisam razmišljao o povlačenju iz borbe ni jedne sekunde. "
Lipinets je zaslužan za svog trenera, poznati Joe Goossen, za mentalno pomaganje svom borcu kroz promjene, uz fizički trening koji su poduzeli krećući u borbu.
“Imati Joea Goossena jednako je imati psihijatra i trenera,”Rekao je Lipinets. “Izuzetno mi je pomogao kako pristupiti svemu tome. Joe mi je pomogao da ostanem smiren i shvatim da nešto dobro uvijek može doći iz loše ili teške situacije, i zbog toga, Nikad nisam izgubio fokus. "
Clayton je kanadski olimpijac s neokaljanim profesionalnim životopisom koji vodi u ovaj obračun. Dok Lipinets primjećuje da postoje razlike u stilovima borbe između Abdukahorova i Claytona, ništa od toga ne mijenja njegovu namjeru u listopadu 24.
“Znam da Clayton ima sjajno amatersko podrijetlo,”Rekao je Lipinets. “Provjerila sam njegov stil, a glavna je razlika u tome što je Abdukahorov aktivniji, a Clayton precizniji. Abdukakhorov je također malo agresivniji, a Clayton strpljiviji.
“Mislim da jedno nije teže ili lakše od drugog. Mislim da je bilo tko tko se bori na ovoj razini težak protivnik. Abdukakhorov se više kreće i može biti neugodniji s različitim stilovima koje koristi. Oboje su vrlo teški momci, ali ja sam spreman za Claytona i u ovom trenutku sam se usredotočio samo na njega. "
Unatoč tome što se usredotočio isključivo na Claytona, Lipinets zna da ova borba donosi veliku priliku za glasan proglas ostatku naslagane velter kategorije velikom izvedbom za osvajanje privremenog IBF naslova.
“Spremna sam dati jednu izjavu - pripadam ovdje,”Rekao je Lipinets. “Želim se boriti protiv najboljih. Želim otisnuti ovaj sport i izgraditi svoje naslijeđe. Morao sam to učiniti na teži način, ali ne žalim se. Borio sam se za svoje prvo prvenstvo upravo u svom 13th profesionalna borba. Vjerujem da pripadam upravo tom vrhu sporta. Ljudi trebaju početi spominjati moje ime s najboljim momcima i nakon ove borbe morat će. Ne možete više gledati mimo mene. "

“U listopadu 31 svi će vidjeti za što sam sposoban," – Heraldez Unbeaten Contender Juan Heraldez Faces Former World Champion Regis Prograis in SHOWTIME PPV®ActionSaturday, Listopad 31 Live From the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas in an Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions NEW YORK – Listopad 16, 2020 – Unbeaten super lightweight contenderJuan Heraldez is deep into training camp and shared insights into his preparations as he nears a showdown against former championRegis "Rougarou" Prograis u subotu, Listopad 31 live on SHOWTIME PPV in a Premier Boxing Champions event headlined by Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz live from Alamodome in San Antonio.
“It’s been a long eight-week camp preparing for Prograis,” said Heraldez. “We’re fighting a different style of fighter, which is a good thing because he’s the type of fighter who comes to fight. A style like this makes it easier for me to train and prepare.
“Prograis ima moć, ali morate ga sletjeti i tu nastupa moja obrana. Moja je obrana uvijek bila faktor i to je nešto što uvijek dotjerujemo i pronalazimo načine da budem oštriji. Na papiru su njegove isprave gore, ali u ringu sve to izlazi na vrata. Kad zazvoni zvono, Ne razmišljam o tome da je bivši svjetski prvak. Borim se i završavam posao. "
Heraldez se prilagodio promjenama nastalim treningom tijekom pandemije, i uspio je biti fokusiran tijekom cijelog kampa. Pripisuje mu infrastrukturu boksački klub Mayweather, gdje trenira u Las Vegasu, jer je pomogao da stvari teku glatko dok se priprema za suočavanje sa svojim najtežim protivnikom do danas.
“The pandemic has had a slight effect on camp like it has with everything else,” said Heraldez. “There are so many protocols and safety measures, so you can’t just rotate sparring partners as easily as you could before. Adjusting to wearing a mask in the gym and getting tested constantly are things you learn to get used to. The Mayweather Boxing Club has done a great job of keeping the gym clean and safe for all of us. A lot of my stablemates are here in Las Vegas preparing for big fights, so it’s a great feeling knowing that we can come to a gym where safety is the top priority.”
The unbeaten Heraldez will return to the ring after fighting former world champion Argenis Mendez to a draw in May 2019 na Showtime. Heraldez je sastavio impresivan niz pobjeda koje datiraju iz 2017 trijumf nad tada nepobjeđenim Joseom Miguelom Borregom, i uključivao je pobjedu nokautom nad Eddiem Ramirezom u veljači 2019 vodeći u borbu protiv Mendeza. Heraldez je nastavio usavršavati svoj arsenal u borbi protiv Prograisa.
“Moj tim i ja radili smo na raznim stvarima, poput mog uboda, ali najvažnije tamo gdje sam cijelo vrijeme u ringu,” said Heraldez. “Moja svijest o prstenu podigla je ovaj kamp. Moj trener i ja držimo stvari stare škole, nemamo trenera snage i kondicije, radimo na osnovama i postajemo bolji u svakom kampu. Boks je jednostavan. Držite se i pomičite i nemojte biti pogođeni. Trening koji treniram kod trenera Otisa Pimpletona pokriva toliko stvari kao što su kardio, tehnika, prsten IQ, itd, so my job is just to listen to my team and trust them when I’m in camp and in the ring on fight night.”
While Heraldez is looking to improve on the draw in his last fight, Prograis will be seeking to bounce back from his first career defeat, a memorable 140-pound unification clash with Josh Taylor. With both fighters hungry for a win on October 31, Heraldez expects an exciting night for fans.
“On fight night, both of our styles are going to make for great action,” said Heraldez. “We both bring a lot to the ring. We’re both fighting to be the best, but on October 31, everyone will see what I’m capable of.” O DAVIS VS.

„Ovo je moja druga borba u radu s‘ Bonesom ’Adamsem iz njegove teretane u Las Vegasu,”Rekla je Magdaleno. “Zapravo ga znam od svoje devete godine, pa ga smatram svojim najboljim prijateljem. Povjeravam mu svoj život. Proveo sam neko vrijeme trenirajući za ovu borbu u Scipionu, Utah također, vukući bale sijena i radeći svakakve zanimljive bušilice. Dobio sam dobar sparing ovdje u Vegasu, a čak sam i otišao u Kaliforniju na neki sparing, previše.
“Bio sam na jednoj od posljednjih borbenih karata prije pandemije, i čast mi je što sam na prvoj borbenoj kartici sa živom publikom od početka pandemije. It’s been a hectic year, but I’m happy with where things are for me heading into this fight. Coach Adams has been doing a great job with training, but he also handles my strength and conditioning. He’s got a huge gym with a lot of motivated fighters and it’s great to be around that kind of atmosphere. And my fiancé has been handling my nutrition for my last four fights. Tako, it’s great to have her involved also.”
Magdaleno returns to action after upsetting Austin Dulay in Dulay’s hometown of Nashville, Tennessee. u veljači, dropping him in round seven on his way to a 10-round unanimous decision. He credits his team in training camp for the impressive performance against Dulay.
“I’ve always taken pride in being a professional, but I learned that I can be very dangerous with the right team around me,”Rekla je Magdaleno. “I went into that fight kind of being considered a steppingstone for Dulay, but I showed that I’m still a strong fighter. People counted me out and they made a mistake. I’m just super happy that I found Coach Adams and got a proper team organized around me. I was able to change people’s minds with just one fight. Now I’m in a title eliminator, and with a win on October 31, I’ll have my third shot at a world title.”
The 33-year-old has come up short in his most high-profile fights to date, dropping title bouts to Terry Flanagan and Roman Martinez, in addition to a 2019 loss against current lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez. With those experiences and an improved training structure around him, Magdaleno believes the lessons he’s taken from those fights will be instrumental going forward.
“The biggest thing that I’ve learned is to stay calm,”Rekla je Magdaleno. “When I start thinking too far ahead, that’s when things go wrong. Coach Adams has a great way of keeping me grounded and composed. He knows how to simplify things for me and communicate exactly what I need to do, which makes it less stressful for me. And we’ve done some other things, like correcting my footwork and the angles that I use.”
In the 22-year-old Cruz, Magdaleno will be opposed by a fast-rising and exciting Mexican fighter looking to make a mark in his biggest fight to date. With an 11-year age gap, Magdaleno plans to use his extensive experience to his advantage on October 31.
“Cruz is something I’ve seen before,”Rekla je Magdaleno. “I’ve fought lots of Mexican-style fighters like him who don’t have a lot of technical skill but possess a come-forward style. Tako, I think I’ll be able to go back to what I know. I’ll just have to stay fluid and pick Cruz apart. He’s a guy who likes to fight on the inside and throw lots of overhand punches and hooks. I’ll break him down like I did my last opponent.”
Magdaleno will look to continue his career renaissance against Cruz and put himself back on track for another world title opportunity. With all that he’s been through during his career, Magdaleno remains highly motivated to prove critics wrong and achieve his goal of becoming a world champion.
“What I know is that when everyone counts you out, you just have to believe in yourself,”Rekla je Magdaleno. “When I decide to hang up the gloves, it’ll be because I want to, not because others say I should. I have my confidence back now and I’m very happy with where I’m going . Being one shot away from the title that I dreamed of as a child is a huge motivating factor for me. And I fight for my family, previše. I’m a different person now. I’m more mature and I think I’ll be able to prove that to people in this fight.”

“I’ll have a plan for whatever he brings to the table and get the win however I have to!" Bivši svjetski prvak Lipinets, bitke bez poraza Kudratillo Abdukakhorov for Interim IBF Welterweight Title Uživo na Showtime® Subota, Listopad 24 Naslovnica a Premier događaj boksačkih prvaka NEW YORK – Listopad 8, 2020 – Bivši svjetski prvak Sergey Lipinets has not let anything, be it the pandemic or a change in fight date, distract him from preparations for his battle against unbeatenKudratillo Abdukakhorov,as they fight for interim IBF Welterweight Title headlining action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Listopad 24 (9 poslije podne. ET / 6 poslije podne. PT) u događaju koji su predstavili Premier Boxing Champions.
“I took the change in date like a champion, and I’ll do the same thing on October 24 that I would have done on October 10,” said Lipinets. “I’m very strong mentally, so there’s really no issue with the timing change. Training camp has been going great and I’m 100% ready for this one. I’ve been working with Joe Goossen and sparring with a lot of great fighters including Rashidi Ellis and Ronald Cruz.”
The 31-year-old Lipinets credits the renowned coach Goossen for the level of performance he has shown in the ring in the two years that they’ve worked together. The union between Lipinets and Goossen followed Lipinets’ run at 140-pounds, which saw him defeat Akihiro Kondo for the IBF Super Lightweight Championship on SHOWTIME in 2017 before losing the title by decision to Mikey Garcia the following year.
“My progression is totally attributed to working with Joe Goossen,”Rekao je Lipinets. “It’s like going from a high school education, then to college, and now I feel like I’m in graduate school. I’ve learned more with Joe than in all my previous time in the sport.
“Joe Goossen has taught me a lot about the short game and working on the inside. He’s also helped me with my lateral movement and made me way more durable. That’s all combined with my power increasing at 147 funti. I’m ready to show all of it on October 24.”
Lipinets added two knockout victories to his ledger in 2019. In March he stopped two-division champion Lamont Peterson in a memorable firefight before blasting out Jayar Inson in the second-round in July. A win on October 24 not only puts Lipinets in line for the winner of the matchup between IBF and WBC Welterweight Champion Errol Spence Jr. and two-division champion Danny Garcia, but also will help solidify his spot amongst the best in the star-studded 147-pound weight class. Međutim, these potential high-profile matchups don’t take anything away from his focus heading into his upcoming fight.
“I don’t really think about the other top welterweight fighters like Errol Spence Jr., Manny Pacquiao, Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter or Terence Crawford,”Rekao je Lipinets. “In order to get to them, I have to win on October 24. Then everything else will fall into place. The top guys will fight me when they have to. That’s been the story of my career. Nobody has fought me because they wanted to, but usually because they had to.”
The unbeaten Abdukakhorov presents a challenge that Lipinets embraces. Abdukakhorov enters this fight after a victory over former champion Luis Collazo in addition extensive amateur experience that Lipinets knows will make him a formidable opponent when they square off October 24.
“Nobody is at the top of the IBF rankings for nothing,”Rekao je Lipinets. “Abdukakhorov had a successful amateur career with a lot of fights. He moves fast and knows his way around the ring. I know he’s tough, strong and he’ll do his best to stay in there with me. But I’m going to box him, fight at a distance if I have to, and pile up points against him. Očekujem veliku borbu. I’ll have a plan for whatever he brings to the table and get the win however I have to!"
