Las Vegas (December 18) – Den “forcewas with Cuban star and newly crowned lightweight world champion Rances Barthelemy (24-0, 13 KOS) as he won a 12-round unanimous decision over Russian southpaw Denis Shafikov (36-2-1, 19 KOS) in the headlining bout of the final Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) på Spike fight card of 2015. The four-fight telecast, which was supported by non-televised fights featuring some of Mayweather Promotions’ stigende stjerner, took place at the Pearl at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
Coming off of a luxury world tour, Floyd Mayweather returned stateside and sat ringside as promoter of tonight’s fights. The recently retired five-division world champion, who also learned today he was selected asSports Illustrated Fighter of the Year, was animated and engaged through the final bell of the evening.
Den vigtigste begivenhed, which started off as a close toe-to-toe battle, ended in the Barthelemy’s favor as he swept the latter quarter of the bout. Shafikov controlled the beginning of the fight, staying in the pocket and throwing more powerful punches than Barthelemy as the Cuban had a difficult time adjusting to the significantly shorter, yet stronger, style of Shafikov.
The turning point of the fight occurred when a cut caused by a punch by Barthelemy opened up above Shafikov’s right eye in the eighth round. The blood began to poor furiously and referee Vic Drakulich called the ringside doctor over to inspect the cut. When the fight resumed, Barthelemy attacked the Russian’s eye and never let up for the remainder of the fight. He took advantage of the cut and coupled it with his height and reach advantage which led to a recipe for success as he is now a two-division world champion. The judges saw the bout 119-109 og 116-112 to gange.
There were moments where I was trapped into my style of fighting. It took me a minute to adjust to Shafikov’s style and exchange punches with him,” Said Barthelemy. “I’m really happy with the number of punches I was able to get off.
I was really impressed with Shafiov’s warrior style. He never gave up even after getting hurt with punches that were affecting his fight. That really caught me by surprise and also that he was able to last the whole fight. The fact that he continued really says something about him as a fighter.
I’m not sure if I won the fight,” Said Shafikov. “I’m very disappointed and I want a rematch.
The co-main event saw a bizarre ending to what was to be a cruiserweight elimination bout. Detroit southpawIsiah Thomas (15-0, 6 KOS) was winning the fight on all three judgesscorecards through round three when Russian power-puncher Murat “Jern” Gassiev (22-0, 16 KOS) threw accidental late blows to Thomashead after the bell. The punches forced referee Jay Nady to make the tough call that the punchesdiminished the valueof Thomasability to continue. As the fight had not yet gone four rounds, unified rules state that the fight does not go to the scorecards, thus ruling it a no contest.
Chris Pearson (16-1 11 KOS), a promising super welterweight from Dayton, Ohio put his previously undefeated record on the line against fellow unbeaten Eric Walker (12-0, 6 KOS) of Plaquemine, Louisiana in the second televised bout. Walker came out strong, dominating the early rounds against Pearson, another member of the stable of rising stars from Mayweather Promotions. A wobbled Pearson persevered and attempted to turn the tide in an action-packed fifth round with a series of head shots.

The seventh round saw both fighters exchanging a brutal barrage of punches culminating with a fast-paced eighth and final round drawing a standing ovation from the crowd. The underdog Walker, who spent 13 years in Dixon Correctional Institute in Louisiana, scored a unanimous decision victory (79-71, 78-74, 80-72) winning the biggest fight of his life in front of a captivated national TV audience.

If you believe in God and work hard at what you’re doing, you’re going to succeed,” Said Walker. “Look at me now.
I had watched his previous fights and knew that my right hand would be too much for him and that I could land it anytime,” continued Walker. “My conditioning was really the difference tonight. I was in great shape and I was able to rely on that when the going got tough.

Pearson was disappointed in the decision and was left wanting a rematch.

I take my hat off to him,” said Pearson. “His punches were crisp and hard. I just couldn’t get going on anything consistently. I thought it was closer than the judgesscorecards and I definitely want a rematch as soon as possible.

Ved indledningen anfald af aftenen, one of boxing’s fast rising stars, Gervonta “Den ene” Davis (14-0, 13 KOS) out of Baltimore put his undefeated record on the line against Mexico’s Luis Sanchez (17-5-1, 5 KOS) in a lightweight clash.

Davis, a 21-year-old protégé of Mayweather, lived up to his reputation as a budding superstar scoring a hard-fought ninth round knockout victory. Sanchez showed his toughness and resiliency as he forced Davis to fight three rounds longer than any fight of his career.Davis showed his speed and power in the eighth round as he landed an uppercut to knock down his determined opponent. In the ninth round, he threw a massive left hand to finish Sanchez, sending Mayweather to his feet in celebration.

It felt great to fight all of these rounds and get the work in,” Said Davis. “He’s a tough fighter and I learned a great deal tonight. It was a very good experience for me.
I just listened to my corner and Floyd, took my time and broke him down. I want to fight again as soon as possible for a world title.
Mayweather, who was very pleased with Davis’ præstation, sees the young undefeated fighter’s future as bright.
It’s always good to go out there and get the W,” Said Mayweather. “Han er ung. He’s still learning. We’re looking forward to him being a world champion some day.
Mayweather relished in the opportunity to promote one of the final fights of the year in his hometown of Las Vegas saying, “I’m so happy we were able to showcase on national television some of the talented fighters we have at Mayweather Promotions. Vinder eller taber, I am proud of all of them.
More importantly I want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and thank for them supporting me, Mayweather Promotions and The Money Team throughout all of these years. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

“Han var bare for stor. Ingen undskyldninger, men jeg ved, det var derfor, han var i stand til at vare den fulde kamp med mig.
“Han var bare skubbe mig fremad, skubber mig frem og ved hjælp af hans kropsvægt, men han har aldrig såre mig på noget tidspunkt.”
CHRIS Arreola
“Jeg var ikke ondt fra knockdown, det var mere af en flash knockdown.”
“Jeg trak det ud i mesterskabet runder. Jeg var i god form, og det var forskellen i mit vindende.
I had to show him a little different look tonight and not just bull rush him. Han kom til mig, hvilket gjorde det lettere for mig. Conditioning was the deciding factor tonight.
“Ja, Jeg ville give Travis Kauffman en omkamp. Når som helst, vi kan gøre det igen.
“Jeg er nødt til at tjene en verden titel kamp og er nødt til at vinde overbevisende. Hvis jeg kæmper Deontay Wilder, Jeg er nødt til at være i god form.
“Jeg har tænkt mig at tage en lille ferie med familien så jeg planlægger at være tilbage i gymnastiksalen lige efter nytår.”
TRAVIS Kauffman
“Jeg er ikke den eneste, der troede, at jeg vandt kampen, hele publikum troede, jeg vandt kampen. Jeg kæmpede en stor kamp. Jeg kom her for at vinde. Jeg er ikke en daske, Jeg er en fighter. Jeg har gjort det hele mit liv.
I didn’t get the victory that I deserved tonight, men jeg var i stand til at vinde over publikum, og jeg vandt over Amerika.
“Publikum kom i heppe på Chris. De forlod hepper for mig.”
VICTOR ORTIZ
“Han var en virkelig hård fighter. Han fik nogle gode skud i. Jeg kan ikke lide at gøre undskyldninger. I tre år, Jeg har kun kæmpet to gange. Der var en masse af rust. Men jeg er bare glad for at komme tilbage i ringen.
“Jeg føler ingen smerte overhovedet. Jeg er glad for, og er klar til at bevæge sig fremad.
“Min fortid er i min fortid. Jeg ønsker at gå til det. Enhver af de øverste welterweights, Jeg vil have dem.
“Denne lejr var utroligt. Ikke bare Joel Diaz, men hele holdet har været med mig 24/7 og de har været awesome. Det er et stort aktiv at have disse slags mennesker i mit hjørne.
“I fortiden, Jeg har altid fundet mig selv hoppe pistolen. Disse trænere har hjulpet mig langsomt ned. Dette er absolut et skridt fremad.
“Jeg er min egen værste kritiker. Der er meget at forbedre på. Mine reflekser var gode, men min timing var slukket. Sandsynligvis på grund af inaktivitet. Jeg er så taknemmelig for denne mulighed, og jeg har en helt ny chance for at nå mine mål.”
MARIO BARRIOS
“Jeg er bare glad for at have været i stand til at sætte på en stor Vis for min familie og venner. Lige nu er jeg føler stor. Jeg kunne ikke være mere ophidset.
“Vi starter med en slagplan, der kredser om at arbejde fra vores jab og plukke vores shots. Han havde en tendens til at arbejde op på midten og det er, hvordan vi fandt åbninger.
“På ethvert tidspunkt var jeg klar til at sidde der og slagsmål med ham, men det var ikke planen for denne kamp. Planen var at være smartere, og det er, hvad vi gjorde.
“Min højde og størrelse er noget, vi arbejder altid på og bruge til vores fordel.”
TERRELL GAUSHA
I’m very happy with my performance but I still have a lot of improvements to make in the gym.
“Jeg fangede ham med nogle gode krop skud, og det var forskellen.
“Vi har ikke målrette nogen, but I’m ready for someone in the top 10. Jeg vil gerne kæmpe igen i februar, hvis muligt.”

MARIO Barrios Karakterer SPEKTAKULÆRE KNOCKOUT

SAN ANTONIO, TX (December 12, 2015) – Stigende stjerne og super-fjerlette fornemmelse, Mario Barrios (14-0, 8 KOS), forblev ubesejret med en spektakulær sjette runde knockout løbet Manuel Vides (18-5, 11 KOS). Kampen, der blev tv-transmitteret som en del af PBC på NBCSN fandt sted på AT&T Center i sin hjemby San Antonio, Texas.
Fra åbningen runde, Barrios etableret sin tilstedeværelse i ringen, da han landede talrige magt skud, mostly to the body and head. A powerful right uppercut followed by a monstrous left hook sent Vides crashing to the canvas head first, slutter kampen på 2:29 mærket af runde seks.
“Jeg følte mig stærk gå i ringen i aften,” Said Mario Barrios. “We had a great training camp and I got a lot of good sparring to get me prepared for this fight. I got into a good rhythm early and kept my foot on the pedal. I had him hurt early but he was a very tough opponent and pushed me to the later rounds. By coach Bob Santos told me to start throwing more uppercuts and that’s when I landed that big shot in the sixth round. I followed the right uppercut with a left hook and got him out of there.
Med sejren, Kvarterer, der har været på fast track, recorded his seventh victory of 2015. He’s very pleased to be staying active as he ascends to the top of the super-featherweight division.
“Jeg vil gerne takke PBC og NBC for denne mulighed.” Barrios fortsatte. “To be part of the PBC series is a dream come true. My goal is to continue winning and become a PBC superstar. I also want to thank my team for all their hard work. I’m very happy with my performance and I couldn’t have done it without them. I’m looking forward to another busy year in 2016.
