Билети за събитието на живо, which is promoted by Canelo Promotions and TGB Promotions, are available through AXS.com.

“These three matchups deliver everything boxing fans could hope for in a pay-per-view undercard and are worthy of the historic main event clash they will lead up to,- каза Том Браун, Председател на TGB Промоции. “Each fighter stepping into the ring has an opportunity to catapult themselves to the top of their respective division with a win on September 30. Fans can expect to see all of these competitors give everything they have to emerge victorious on SHOWTIME PPV at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.”

A strong southpaw who at 22 has yet to come close to hitting his ceiling as a fighter, Ramos (20-0, 16 Нокаута) blitzed then-unbeaten Joey Spencer in March, dropping him in round one before stopping him in round seven to earn the TKO in his sensational 2023 debut on the undercard of David Benavidez vs. Caleb Plant on SHOWTIME PPV. A native of Casa Grande, Аризона., Ramos also owns back-to-back 10-round unanimous decisions over Brian Mendoza and Javier Molina in 2021, which he followed up by defeating Luke Santamaria and Vladimir Hernandez in 2022. Общо, the youthful Ramos has gained recognition with highlight-reel KOs, stopping seven of his last 10 опоненти, showcasing his skills and ability to end his fights early.

I’m excited to be part of this huge card against a tough opponent on September 30,” said Ramos. “I know Lubin is training hard and coming to win, which will make for an entertaining fight. This whole card is stacked and we don’t want to disappoint, so the fans are in for a great night of boxing.

The 27-year-old Lubin (25-2, 18 Нокаута) returned to the ring in June to deliver an impressive fifth-round stoppage of veteran Luis Arias, who had never been stopped previously. Lubin’s previous outing saw him go toe-to-toe in one of 2022’s best fights, as he traded knockdowns with fellow contender Sebastian Fundora on SHOWTIME in April 2022. Heading into the Fundora fight, Lubin had put together an impressive six-bout winning streak since a loss to then unified and now undisputed 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo in 2017, a run that included triumphs over Jeison Rosario, Terrell Gausha and Ishe Smith. A native of Orlando, Fla., Lubin turned pro at 18 years old in 2013 and became one of the youngest prospects to ever appear on the developmental seriesSHOBOX: Новото поколение®,earning “Prospect Of The Year” honors from ESPN and Ring Magazine in 2016.

“I know the world will be watching on September 30 and I plan on winning in a big way,” said Lubin. “We’ve got a young and talented fighter in front of us, but I’m young and talented as well. The difference is that I’ve fought the cream of the crop of the 154-pound division. Doesn’t matter if it’s Olympians, top prospects, contenders or champions, I’ve taken them on. I have a big chip on my shoulder and I know that with this win, I’ll be in a mega fight. I’m training extremely hard and the whole world will see it pay off.”

Угаш (27-5, 12 Нокаута) will step back into action on September 30 for the first time since an April 2022 unification bout defeat to Errol Spence Jr. на SHOWTIME PPV. He established himself as an elite welterweight after returning from a more than two-year layoff in 2016 following back-to-back losses in 2014. He punched his ticket as a world champion in January 2021 after winning a WBA belt by defeating Abel Ramos in September 2020. He solidified his world-championship status in August 2021, when he stepped in for an injured Spence to defeat legendary future Hall of Famer Manny Pacquiao by unanimous decision. Hailing from Santiago, Cuba and now living in Miami, Флорида, the Olympic bronze medalist trains in Las Vegas with renowned coach Ismael Salas and owns victories over then undefeated fighters Jamal James, Omar Figueroa Jr. and Bryant Perrella, plus veteran contenders Thomas Dulorme and Ray Robinson.

“Both me and Mario Barrios have a lot to gain with a victory on September 30, so I know that this fight is going to be one to remember,” said Ugas. “I have tremendous respect for Barrios. He’s a true warrior who’s been in the ring with the best of them, but I have confidence that I’ll be victorious. I have a lot of fight left in me and my best skills will be on display in this fight. Patria y Vida, I fight for my people.”

The 28-year-old Barrios (27-2, 18 Нокаута) most recently scored a sensational knockout of Jovanie Santiago in February stopping Santiago in the eighth-round. Barrios’ previous fight was his welterweight debut as he dropped a hard-fought decision to former unified champion Keith Thurman in February 2022. The San Antonio-product, who now trains with top coach Bob Santos in Las Vegas, became a 140-pound world champion in September 2019, using his aggressive style to edge out Batyr Akhmedov and earn a unanimous decision. Barrios lost the super lightweight title in another action packed, highly competitive bout, as he was defeated by three-division and five-time world champion Gervonta Davis in June 2021.

“This fight is going to be a war, because we both fight with a lot of heart and neither of us ever backs down,", Каза Бариос. “I can’t wait to compete in a matchup like this on one of the biggest cards of the year. This is going to be a great night of boxing from start to finish and the Mexican fans can expect to see an explosive performance from ‘El Azteca’!"

Борба от Финикс, Arizona, Garcia (15-0, 12 Нокаута) is one of 2023’s biggest breakout stars He burst onto the scene in March by blasting out the previously unbeaten Amilcar Vidal in the fourth-round to announce his presence at 160-pounds. The 20-year-old followed up that performance by dominating veteran Kevin Salgado on his way to a unanimous decision in April on the SHOWTIME PPV undercard of Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia. The precocious Garcia has moved fast since turning pro in 2020 and has knocked out six of his last eight opponents.

“This is my second fight this year on a huge pay-per-view card and I’m super excited and even more prepared than the first time,” said Garcia. “Reséndiz is a hungry fighter just like myself, so I have no doubt that we are going to put on a hell of a show for all the fans watching.”

The 24-year-old Reséndiz(14-1, 10 Нокаута) earned a career-best victory in his last outing as he stopped former unified champion Jarrett Hurd in the 10тата and final round of their March showdown on SHOWTIME. Reséndiz led on all three cards when the bout was stopped due to a severe laceration on Hurd’s lip. A native of Nayarit, Мексико, he now fights out of Los Angeles and will look to make it three-straight wins since a close decision loss to Marcos Hernandez in September 2021. Reséndiz turned pro in February 2018 and made a successful U.S. debut in April 2021 with a decision victory over Quilisto Madera.

“I’m very happy to have this great opportunity to compete on such an important fight card,” said Reséndiz. “I’m excited to realize my dream of fighting in Las Vegas, just like my boxing idols that I watched on TV. I’ve had an amazing training camp that will help me look my best on September 30 and put on a performance worthy of the boxing legends who inspire me.”

Билети за събитието на живо, която се насърчава от TGB Промоции, се продават сега и могат да бъдат закупени чрезwww.mgmnationalharbor.com/.

“This show on August 12 is jam-packed with action for boxing fans as they will get an exciting world title clash in addition to some of the area’s top rising talent in tough contests live on SHOWTIME,- каза Том Браун, Председател на TGB Промоции. “Emmanuel Rodriguez is hungry to make a second run as world champion at bantamweight and will be given all he can handle by the red-hot Melvin Lopez. With two of Maryland’s top rising stars in Gary Antuanne Russell and Travon Marshall stepping in for separate bouts before that showdown, this lines up to be a can’t-miss card at MGM National Harbor.”

Fighting out of Manati, Puerto Rico, Родригес(21-2, 13 Нокаута) defeated the previously unbeaten Gary Antonio Russell last October by technical decision to put himself back into position to fight for the world title. The 30-year-old originally won the IBF Bantamweight World Title with a unanimous decision victory over Paul Butler in 2018 and successfully defended it against the then-unbeaten Jason Moloney. Rodríguez went on to lose the title to former undisputed champion Naoya Inoue in their May 2019 title bout.

“I’m happy to have this chance to become a world champion again,” said Rodriguez. “We’re gonna go out there to win in spectacular fashion and my goal is to show that I’m the best fighter in the world at 118-pounds. My goal is to become undisputed at bantamweight, however I’m not overlooking Melvin Lopez, because he’s a good fighter and will come to give it his all on August 12.”

The 25-year-old Lopez (29-1, 19 Нокаута) has won eight-straight fights since suffering his only career loss in October 2019. Originally from Nicaragua and now fighting out of Miami, Lopez has fought professionally since 2015 and began competing stateside in 2018. Lopez scored three victories in 2022, starting the year with knockouts of Juan Gabriel Medina and Victor Ruiz, before most recently defeating Jobert Alvarez last December. Out of his last 10 победи, Lopez has ended nine of those inside of the distance.

“I’m very excited that the time is almost here to fight for a world title,", Каза Лопес. “We’ve had a great training camp and everyone has sacrificed and worked hard so that we’re at our best on August 12. I’m going to show everyone why I earned this opportunity and repay my team for all of their efforts. I have a lot of respect for Emmanuel, but the best man will have his hand raised when we share the ring.”


Fighting out of his native Capitol Heights, Md., Russell (16-0, 16 Нокаута) will carry on the legacy left by his late father Gary Sr. A member of one of the sport’s preeminent fighting families, Russell trains alongside his older brothers, former WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Jr. and bantamweight contender Gary Antonio. The 26-year-old has yet to allow an opponent to make it to the final bell since turning pro in 2017 following his run representing the U.S. at the Rio 2016 Летни олимпийски игри. Russell defeated his most accomplished foes to date in 2022, stopping former champion Viktor Postol in February before a TKO win against former two-division champion Rances Barthelemy in July.

“When you’re a student of the game like me, you have to consider that each step we take is about more than self-gratification. We’re doing this for keeps,” said Russell. “Kent Cruz has to catch up to me, but there’s no need for me to look back. The only direction I’m going is forward and that means putting on a spectacular performance on August 12, and proving I’m the next world champion in this division.”

The 30-year-old Cruz (16-0-3, 10 Нокаута) steps back into the ring after a pair of draws against fellow unbeaten Enriko Gogokhia in February and then November 2022. A native of St. Louis, Мо, Cruz defeated veterans Erik Humberto Castillo and Travis Hartman following a draw against Carlos Mohamed Rodriguez in April 2018. Cruz will pick up his past ring history with the Russell family on August 12, looking to avenge an amateur loss to Gary Allan Russell, Gary Antuanne’s older brother.

“I’m very excited for this fight on August 12,” said Cruz. “I’ve been waiting for a fight like this my whole career, so we didn’t hesitate when offered this one. I’m coming in as the underdog and that’s what’s fueling me. I’ve been an underdog my whole life and on August 12 I’m gonna shock the world. When I win this fight, I’ll be in contention to fight for a world title and have my chance to achieve my childhood dream.”

At just 22-years-old, Маршал (8-0, 7 Нокаута) has quickly shown the skill, power and poise to become a highly regarded prospect in just eight fights. Born in Landover, Md., and now fighting out of Capitol Heights, Md., Marshall is trained by former contender Andrew Council and has already scored two stoppages in 2023. Most recently he dominated veteran contender Justin DeLoach via third-round knockout in March, his most impressive victory to date.

“I’m really excited to be fighting at home in front of my family, friends and fans on August 12,” said Marshall. “I’m working hard every day in the gym so that when fight night comes I’m 100% and ready to put on a great performance for everyone watching. My goal is to show everyone that I belong on the big stage, and that starts with a victory over Gabriel Maestre.”

A two-time Olympian for his home country of Venezuela, Maestre (5-0-1, 4 Нокаута) had an extensive amateur run that included victories over Brian Castano, Carlos Adames, Alexander Besputin, Oscar Molina and Brian Ceballo. The 36-year-old made his U.S. debut with a controversial decision victory over Mykal Fox in August 2021 before fighting fellow unbeaten Taras Shelestyuk to a draw last March. Съвсем наскоро, Maestre defeated former two-division champion Devon Alexander after three rounds in April.

“I’m very ready for this fight against Travon Marshall,” said Maestre. “We are focused on the work that we need to put in so that we are victorious on August 12. I’m focused on having my hand raised and putting on a good show. We want to leave a good impression with the fans and move on to fight the big names in the welterweight division.”

Олимпиец Теръл Gausha ще се проведе събота, Март 26 на живо по SHOWTIME в събитие Premier Boxing Champions от The Armory в Минеаполис.

Синът на Залата на славата Костя, Цзю пристигна в САЩ миналата събота от родната си Австралия, за да завърши тренировъчен лагер в Лас Вегас, преди да се отправи към Минеаполис. След натрупване на a 20-0 Запис с 15 нокаута, Tszyu изглежда да се приближи една стъпка по-близо до битка за титлата с категорична победа през март 26.

Билети за събитието, която се насърчава от TGB Промоции, Бокс без лимит и Бокс на войни, са в продажба сега и могат да бъдат закупени от Armory на адрес HTTP://ArmoryMN.com/ и чрез Ticketmaster.

Ето какво Цзю и неговият треньор, Игор Голубев, трябваше да кажа в четвъртък от Left Right Boxing Gym в Лас Вегас:

ТИМ ЦЗЮ

„Направихме няколко лагера тук в Лас Вегас преди, така че сме запознати с терена тук. Не е твърде далеч да отидете до Минеаполис, но тук е много по-топло в Лас Вегас, затова се радвам, че дойдох тук пръв. Приспособяването към часовата разлика в началото беше трудно, но определено се възстанових. Докато пристигнах в Лас Вегас, ставаше дума само за изостряне на всичко.

„Идвам да се бия и идвам да спечеля. Не съм тук, за да "тип-тап". Ако това означава отиване към нокаут, Ще го направя веднага. Не съм тук, за да надиграя някого и да спечеля в резултатите. От първата секунда, когато започва битката, целта ми е да го измъкна. Всяка секунда от всеки кръг, Ще бъда пред лицето на опонента си.

„Това се правеше дълго време. Имам желание да направя своя дебют тук, откакто победих Джеф Хорн [Август 2020]. Хубаво е най-накрая да съм тук и съм много развълнуван да бъда на тази платформа. Това е истинска възможност за мен.

„Баща ми не ми е говорил много за това какво да очаквам да се бия в САЩ. Най-често той просто ми напомня да остана готов, което винаги съм. Аз съм професионалист и се боря без прекъсване. Не си почивам или меден месец като някои от тези други бойци.

„За мен е голяма работа да бъда в тази позиция като хедлайнер на SHOWTIME. Мечтаеш за това като малък, и сега това наистина се случва, това е нереално. Аз съм първият австралиец, който е имал САЩ. дебютира като хедлайнер, все още дори не е спечелил световна титла. Това показва, че това, което направихме досега, е доста добро за момента. Ние сме тук, за да правим изявления.

„Това ще бъде интересна битка. Много ми е интересно да видя какво ще донесе. Гауша има инструментите да спечели. Той има страхотни умения и бързи ръце и голямо разнообразие от удари. Той прави простите неща много добре. Харесвам този тип стилове. Спарингирал съм такива момчета в САЩ. и това е забавен стил за борба.

„Не изглеждам особено голям или силен, но когато се кача на ринга, Издавам тази доминация, която казва „това е моят пръстен“.. Това правя и вие идвате на моята сцена. Веднага представям тази доминация и уведомявам всички.

Цзю за Jermell Charlo vs. Реваншът за титлата на Брайън Кастано до 154 паунда ще се проведе през май 14 в SHOWTIME”

„Чарло е предпазлив боец ​​с власт в двете си ръце. Той заклати Кастаньо няколко пъти. Чарло чака да нанесе този перфектен удар и затова резултатът на Кастано не беше твърде висок в тази битка. Мислех, че Castaño се би страхотно и го разработих. Шарло понякога не знаеше какво да прави. Мисля, че или Кастаньо ще бъде със съдийско решение, или Шарло с нокаут в реванша.

„Идвам за всички в дивизията. Идвам за коланите. Трябва да имате доверие в себе си. Вярвам, че ще победя или Шарло, или Кастаньо. Нямаше да съм в спорта, ако не вярвах в това. Бих завел тези момчета на места, на които никога не са били и това е всичко, което има значение за мен.”

ИГОР ГОЛУБЕВ, Треньорът на Цзю

„Тим ще направи корекции, както винаги прави, въз основа на това, което Гауша носи в първия кръг. Тим е абсолютен борец под напрежение. Той ще бъде точно на върха на Гауша от самото начало. Няма да има почивка и няма къде да отиде. Това ще се бори отвътре.

„Гауша е хитър боец. Той има добър стил от аматьорския си опит и също така има силни крака и горна част на тялото. Гледахме негови кадри и знаем, че може да удря, че ще се движи и че хвърля много удари. Той е много добър боец ​​във всичко.”

Претендентът в полусредна категория Gausha се изправя срещу непобедената изгряваща звезда Tim Tszyu в SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Основно събитие събота, Март 26 от арсенала в Минеаполис

ЛОС АНДЖЕЛИС – март 17, 2022 - U.S. Състезател на Олимпийски игри и суперполусредна категорияТеръл Gaushaе уверен, че ще развали дебюта в САЩ на непобедената изгряваща звездаТим Цзюкогато се изправят в събота, Март 26 живеят на SHOWTIME® хедлайнер на събитие Premier Boxing Champions от The Armory в Минеаполис.

„Работим върху някои различни неща за тази битка,каза Гауша. „Ще дадем на Тим Цзю различен вид от този, който е виждал преди. В сравнение с повечето битки, които всички са виждали, те ще видят нещо ново от мен на 26 март.

Цзю, синът на боеца от Залата на славата Костя Цзю, ще направи своя дългоочакван дебют в САЩ. срещу Гауша, след като доминира в първия си 20 се бие в родната си Австралия. За родения в Кливланд Гауша, мотивацията му идва отвътре, а не от шума около влизането на Tszyu в този мач.

„Просто съм мотивиран период,каза Гауша. „Това няма нищо общо с шума около Цзю. Има всичко общо с това къде се намирам в живота и кариерата си. Нещата се случват в точното време за мен. На добро място съм. Това е перфектната битка за мен в този момент от моята кариера.

„Оценявам го, че прие това предизвикателство. Повечето други бойци биха се опитали да защитят рекорда си. Това показва, че той вярва в себе си. Той иска тежки битки. Това се каза, Мисля, че той взе грешна битка.”

Gausha отбеляза впечатляващ нокаут над младия съперник Jamontay Clark в последната си битка, спирайки опонента си във втори рунд през март 2021, и ще се опита да надгради този триумф срещу по-голямо име в Tszyu.

„Това беше добра битка за мен срещу Кларк,каза Гауша. „Исках веднага да се върна на ринга, но понякога е трудно да се караш с определени момчета. Имам страхотна възможност срещу Tszyu и гледам да оползотворя и надградя последното си представяне. Ще направя още по-голям фурор в тази битка.”

Обучение в Лос Анджелис с Manny Robles и Prenice Brewer, Gausha получи отличен спаринг, водещ до вечерта на битката, след като сподели ринга със 154-килограмовия шампион Браян Кастано, претендентът в полусредна категория Верджил Ортис и 2020 U.S. Olympian Ahead Johnson. Докато Gausha очаква Tszyu да покаже типичния си стил на излизане напред, той планира да бъде готов за всичко, което опонентът му представи.

„Очаквам Тим да се опита да окаже натиск и да излезе напред,каза Гауша. „Той е пони с един трик. Това, което виждате, е това, което получаваш. Той не прави твърде много неща грандиозно, но това, което прави, го прави добре, той го прави много добре, и това води до натиск. Имаме нещо готово за това и ще свършим работата си, независимо какво се опитва да направи той.

Преди това Gausha се бори за световната титла при категория 154 паунда, като загуби a 2017 съдийско решение срещу Erislandy Lara и също така притежава поражение със съдийско решение от Erickson Lubin и равенство срещу бившия шампион Austin Trout. Сега, Gausha ще се опита да се катапултира обратно в заглавната снимка с победа през март 26.

„След като всички видят това представление на март 26, те ще знаят къде се вписвам в това разделение,каза Гауша. „Имам работа за вършене. Точно сега, Наистина тепърва започвам да показвам на хората уменията си и какво мога. Това ще затвърди това. В момента чукам на вратата на битка за титлата. Победа над Цзю би била страхотна за моята кариера и би ме довела до световните титли.“

ARLINGTON, T.X. – Март 17, 2022 - Three sensational matchups have been added to the SHOWTIME PPV lineup headlined by WBC and IBF world champion Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. and WBA World Champion Йорденис Угаш squaring off in a welterweight title unification clash on Saturday, Април 16 live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

The pay-per-view telecast begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and features exciting lightweight contender Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz taking on veteran former world champion Yuriorkis Гамбоа в 10-рундовото основно събитие.

The lineup also includes unbeaten Jose Valenzuela бой бившия световен шампион Francisco "El Bandido" Vargas in a 10-round lightweight fight, plus unbeaten Cody Crowley faces veteran contender Josesito Lopez in a 10-round duel of all-action welterweights that kicks off the telecast.

Билети за събитието на живо, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Man Down Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at SeatGeek.com, the Official Ticketing Provider of AT&T Stadium.

“One of the year’s biggest events will feature a deserving pay-per-view undercard lineup loaded with consequential matchups that are primed to deliver drama and action,- каза Том Браун, Председател на TGB Промоции. “Isaac Cruz showed against Gervonta Davis that he is a star in the making, and he’ll be looking to display those talents once again against an accomplished opponent in Yuriorkis Gamboa. Още, another rising star in Jose Valenzuela will step up in competition against former champion Francisco Vargas, while Cody Crowley and Josesito Lopez will both bring their high-octane styles into the ring in what shapes up to be a ‘can’t-miss’ showdown to open the loaded SHOWTIME PPV.”

The 23-year-old Cruz (22-2-1, 15 Нокаута) will return to the ring after dropping a competitive decision against three-division champion Gervonta Davis on SHOWTIME PPV in December. A native of Mexico City, Cruz shot up the lightweight rankings in 2020, announcing his presence with an electrifying first-round knockout over veteran Diego Magdaleno in October. Cruz followed that up in 2021 by winning a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Matías Romero in March and by defeating former champion Francisco Vargas by decision in June. After making his U.S. debut in December 2019, Cruz went unbeaten in his next four bouts, appearing on SHOWTIME® three times in addition to beating Magdaleno on the Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz SHOWTIME PPV undercard.

“I can’t wait to be back in the ring and to fight at AT&T Stadium,", Каза Крус. “I love the fans in Texas, they always give me tremendous support. My промотор, Мани Пакиао, has fought at AT&T Stadium before and won both times. I’m excited to follow in his footsteps against a very accomplished former champion in Gamboa. I’m coming to show the fans why I’m one of the best lightweights in the world and to drive Gamboa into retirement on April 16.”

Гамбоа (30-4, 18 Нокаута) is a former unified featherweight champion, holding the IBF and WBA 126-pound titles between 2009 и 2011. A native of Guantanamo, Куба, he now lives and trains in Miami, Fla. He dropped a showdown against Terence Crawford in a 2014 Fight на годината, before rebounding to win seven of eight fights. That run included victories over former world champions Jason Sosa and Roman Martinez, putting Gamboa back into world title contention. In his last two fights, Gamboa has dropped contests against current lightweight world champions, losing via 12тата-round TKO to Gervonta Davis in 2019 and by decision against Devin Haney in November 2020.

“I always come to the ring to display my talents and April 16 няма да се различава,- каза Гамбоа. “It’s very motivating to be facing a young, strong opponent like Isaac Cruz. I’m going to test him and see if he can stand up to my power. I’m coming to win and make a big statement that I still have what it takes to become champion again.”

The 22-year-old Valenzuela (11-0, 7 Нокаута) now trains as a stablemate of unbeaten two-time world champion David Benavidez as he seeks to move from prospect to contender in 2022. Born in Los Mochis, Синалоа, Мексико, Valenzuela turned pro in 2018 and rode a five-bout knockout streak before earning his first 10-round decision in a victory over Deiner Berrio in September 2021. Valenzuela capped off his breakout 2021 през декември, dominating Austin Dulay on his way to a TKO in round four.

“It’s a dream come true to be on a high-stakes, stacked card like this,” said Valenzuela. “I’ve admired and studied Spence for a long time, especially because we’re both lefties. Нямам търпение да вляза на ринга. I’m not overlooking or underestimating Francisco Vargas in any way. I’m expecting fireworks. You always get a big fight when two Mexican warriors go head-to-head, so I know the fans are going to be delighted with what they see on April 16.”

Fighting out of Mexico City, Vargas (27-3-2, 19 Нокаута) won a 130-pound title in 2015 by defeating Takashi Miura in one of the year’s best fights. The 37-year-old would go on to fight Orlando Salido to an action-packed draw before losing his title to Miguel Berchelt in another memorable affair. Vargas later defeated Stephen Smith and Rod Salka before losing in his rematch with Berchelt in 2019. Съвсем наскоро, Vargas began campaigning at lightweight, scoring back-to-back victories over Ezequiel Aviles in 2019 and Otto Gamez in 2020, prior to dropping a decision against Isaac Cruz in his last fight in June 2021.

“It is an honor to be on such a big card with so many great fighters,“, каза Варгас. “I’m going to come prepared for this fight and ready to leave the ring with a victory. I know Valenzuela will be trying to make a statement, but I’m coming to do the same. Както винаги, the fans can expect a tremendous fight from start to finish.”

Representing his native Ontario, Канада, Crowley (20-0, 9 Нокаута) returns to the ring after a sensational SHOWTIME debut in December 2021 that saw him beat the previously unbeaten Kudratillo Abdukakhorov by unanimous decision. Crowley had previously defeated Josh Torres in September 2020 след а 2019 run that saw him win a Canadian super welterweight title with a 12-round decision over Stuart McLellan in February before successfully defending that title with a dominant decision over Mian Hussain in October. The 28-year-old returned to fight in the U.S. for his last two fights after seven of his first eight pro fights took place in the U.S.

“After my win in December on SHOWTIME, I’m ready to accept the next challenge on my journey to becoming welterweight champion of the world,” said Crowley. “Josesito Lopez is always tough and he brings an exciting style to the table. За негово нещастие, he will discover what 20 fighters before him have learned, which is that I will not be stopped from achieving my destiny. I want to thank my team for this opportunity to display my skills, heart and relentlessness on this great card at the home of the Dallas Cowboys.”

Lopez (38-8, 21 Нокаута) earned the nickname “The Riverside Rocky’’ because of his go-for-broke style in the ring. He has stepped in across from some of the top boxers in the sport, including champions Canelo Alvarez, Marcos Maidana, Andre Berto and Victor Ortiz. The 37-year-old from Riverside, California is always a tough out in the ring as noted by his narrow majority decision loss to then-champion Keith Thurman in 2019. Since that loss, Lopez has put together back-to-back victories, defeating John Molina, Jr. and Francisco Santana.

“I’m eager and very motivated to step back in the ring and prove myself as one of the best fighters in the world,", Каза Лопес. “I expect a stiff challenge from Crowley and the fans can expect to see me at my very best. I’m in great shape and ready to put everything on the line. You will definitely want to make sure you don’t miss my fight on April 16.”

МЪРТВО ДЪРВО, S.D. - Март 11, 2022 - Ardreal “Bossman” Holmesfought through injury and survived a tough test in his return to the ring for the first time in 28 months scoring a unanimous 10-round decision overVernon “Sub Zero” Brown в главното събитие наSHOBOX: Новото поколение as part of an action-packed tripleheader onSHOWTIME Friday night at the Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, S.D.

(Full-fight highlights, кликванеТУК)

Кремъка, Mich., middleweight prospect Holmes (12-0, 5 Нокаута) remained undefeated fighting past the eighth round for the first time in his career even while hurting his left hand sometime in the second round during a flurry of punches. Резултатите бяха 98-92, 97-93, 96-94 as Holmes seemed to get his second wind as the fight progressed over Chicago’s Brown (13-2, 9 Нокаута).

(Holmes scores unanimous decision, кликванеТУК)

“I was reborn tonight,” Holmes said. “This performance showed that I still have it in me. I hurt my left hand in the second round. I couldn’t punch how I wanted to. I was in a bunch of pain but I pulled through. Thinking about my family pushed me through the pain.”

The 27-year-old southpaw Holmes had a 194-129 edge in total punches while landing more than 40 процента на Неговата сила удари. A total of 280 of the combined 323 total punches landed were power punches.

"Той беше най-добър човек довечера,” Brown said. “I give it up to him. He studied me. He knew the punches I was going to throw. His corner kept yelling, ‘Watch the right hook.’ He did knock the wind out of me a couple times with body shots. I had to take a second to recover. In the last round, he was catching me with head shots.

“I need to work on my left hand. I need to be like Manny Pacquiao and work on my left hand because guys know I have power in my right hook. But I’m going down to 147. That’s my true weight.”

Holmes said no matter how much Brown hurt him, he was going to push through the pain. “I was rusty. I believe I need another fight to get the rust off. My timing wasn’t there. I’ve been off for like 800 дни, but this fight showed that I have a lot of heart. I want Paul Kroll next. He was talking a lot of junk against me. We have a history in the amateurs. He’s who I want.”

В съвместно основното събитие, heavy-hitting lightweightЕдуин де лос сантос (14-1, 13 Нокаута) scored a devastating second-round knockout againstLuis Acosta (12-1, 11 Нокаута), who suffered the first loss of his career.Acosta became the 211тата fighter to have his undefeated streak snapped in the 21-year history of the prospect series.

“One-hitter quitter for De Los Santos!"SHOBOX аналитикБрайън Кембълsaid of De Los Santos’ clean left cross that sent Acosta to the canvas as referee Mark Nelson signaled the end of the fight at 48 seconds in the second round.

“It was a left hand that was just a thing of beauty,” said International Boxing Hall of Famer andSHOBOXblow-by-blow announcerBarry Томпкинс.

Dominican Republic’s De Los Santos landed 19 punches before scoring the fight-ending knockout in his secondSHOBOX appearance.

"Аз съм назад,” said De Los Santos, who suffered a loss in his first SHOBOX appearance in January to William Foster III. “Everyone was counting me out after the last fight. They thought I was done after the loss to Foster. But I’m back. This is the kind of statement that I should have made last time. This is a new beginning for me. I thought I was going to catch him later in the fight but the opening came early with the straight left. My preparation was just better this time, I was just more focused and better prepared and this was the result. I’m ready for anyone.”

В телевизията отварачка, highly regarded prospectGiovanni Márquez (1-0) became the seventh fighter in the history ofSHOBOXto make his professional debut on the series, extending the streak to 7-0 in those bouts as Marquez scored a four-round unanimous decision over a gameNelson Morales. Резултатите бяха 40-36, и 39-37 twice in the welterweight bout.

(Marquez scores unanimous decision, кликванеТУК)

“I felt great,- каза Маркес. “I hurt my left hand in the second round on a jab. I think I would have been able to stop him if I hadn’t hurt my hand.”

With his father and trainer, Бившият световен шампионРаул Маркес, barking instructions from his corner, Houston’s Márquez – the 2021 national Golden Gloves 152-pound champion – dominated the welterweight affair, displaying his offensive skills and using his jab and uppercut effectively as the quicker and busier fighter. Marquez landed 30 процента от общите му удари (85 за 280) compared to Morales at 21 на сто (42 към 201).

“All the attention, it’s really not normal for a 21-year-old,” said the elder Marquez, as he joined Tompkins and Campbell in the booth before the main event. “He handled all the pressure. I’m really proud of my son. I’m very satisfied.”

Added Giovanni: “It was a great experience. He was a tough, издръжлив човек, but I feel like I handled everything, the cameras, all the attention pretty well. I started a little slow but after the first round I settled down and fought my fight. I felt fine without the headgear. We kept bumping heads, but he never hurt me. There was a lot of pressure on me, and I was a little nervous in the leadup to the fight, but once I got into the fight I relaxed and I felt comfortable. Общо, it was a great experience.”

Following a competitive first round, the 21-year-old Marquez dominated the second round, his confidence surging with every second that passed against the Dominican-born Morlaes.

“I think I did OK,” said the 30-year-old Dominican Republic-born Morales (2-1) now living in Scranton, Татко. “My strategy was to go in and box. He cut the ring off and applied good pressure. I can’t say too much because it wasn’t the best of me. He was OK. I’ll be back.”

The six other fighters’ victorious in theirSHOBOX pro debut include Dominic Breazeale, Маркъс Браун, Теръл Gausha, Ерол Спенс Jr., Rau’Shee Warren and Gary Russell, Jr.

International Boxing Hall of Famer Tompkins called the action from ringside alongside former world champion Marquez and renowned combat sports authority Campbell serving as expert analysts.

The 34-year-old has faced tough competition throughout his career, having fought former champion Austin Trout to a draw in 2019 in addition to decision losses against former champion Erislandy Lara and top contender Erickson Lubin. Gausha showed improved power in his most recent bout, stopping rising contender Jamontay Clark in two rounds in March 2021.

I’ve been ready for this fight for a long time,каза Гауша. “I came into this game to be a world champion and fight the best. I expect Tim to come in great shape and I’ll also come in my best shape to put on a great fight for the fans. My coaches are getting me prepared perfectly for the kind of fight I need to put on so that I can leave the ring victorious.

Роден в Санто Доминго, Dominican Republic and now fighting out of Miami, Fla. Rivera (22-0, 14 Нокаута) burst onto the scene in 2019, making his U.S. debut with a victory over Rene Tellez Giron on SHOBOX: НОВО ПОКОЛЕНИЕ®. The 23-year-old continued his ascent in 2020, adding a stoppage win against Fidel Maldonado Jr. and a unanimous decision triumph against lightweight contender LaDarius Miller. Rivera carried his dominance into 2021 with three more victories, including a stoppage of Anthony Mercado in February before delivering a highlight-reel knockout of Jon Fernandez in July on SHOWTIME. He most recently scored a shutout unanimous decision over Matias Romero in October.

“This is a great opportunity for me to display my talents once again against a high-quality opponent in Joseph Adorno,"Каза Ривера. “I’m ready to take on anyone willing to challenge me until my time comes to fight for the world title. My goal is to be victorious on March 26 and then face Gervonta Davis for his title. With each fight I’m getting closer to reaching that goal. I can’t wait to show off all the hard work that I’ve put into this camp on fight night.”

Adorno (14-0-2, 12 Нокаута) has fought to a draw in each of his last two fights, dropping fellow unbeaten Jamaine Ortiz twice in April 2021 after dueling Héctor “Guadaña” García in January 2020. The 22-year-old was born in Union City, New Jersey and now resides in Allentown, Pa., having fought in nearby Philadelphia five times throughout his career. Adorno turned pro in 2016 на възраст от 17 after a standout amateur career where he amassed a 178-22 record and beat Shakur Stevenson’s twice. He has scored knockout victories in nine of his first 10 про битки.

“This fight is a chance for me to show my true talents,” said Adorno. “Not taking anything away from Rivera, but I know I’m going to be the better fighter on March 26. I’m working with a new trainer, Raúl ‘Chino’ Rivas, who has trained many talented fighters, and I’m ready to showcase myself at my very best. I’m more focused than ever and I’m not going to let this opportunity pass me by. Everybody better be ready for a show on March 26.”

Родригес (12-1-1, 11 Нокаута) bounced back from his first career defeat, a majority decision loss to Kenneth Sims Jr., to knockout the previously unbeaten Juan Pablo Romero on the Canelo vs. Plant SHOWTIME PPV® undercard in November. The 26-year-old burst onto the scene with knockout victories in 10 на първата си 11 fights and put together an impressive five wins in 2020. Originally from Santo Domingo, Доминиканската република, Rodríguez now lives in Los Angeles

“March 26 is another step toward my world championship goal,” said Rodríguez. “I am fighting a tough veteran fighter who has faced top-level competition. I’ve stayed in camp through Christmas so that I can be 100% ready for this fight. Winning on March 26 means a lot for my career and I hope that a win will put me in contention for a title shot this year. I want to show the world that I’m ready for the big names in the division.”

The 34-year-old Velasco (23-2, 14 Нокаута) enters this fight on a three-bout winning streak, having most recently earned a split decision victory over Zachary Ochoa in February 2021. A native of Jujuy, Аржентина, Velasco has tangled with some of the toughest fighters in the 140-pound division, including former champions Mario Barrios and Regis Prograis. Velasco will fight in the U.S. for the fifth time on March 26.

“I’m very honored to be on a great card like this,” said Velasco. “This is actually the second time that I’ve been preparing to face Rodríguez, so I know what I’m up against. He’s going to come into the right at 100%, just like I will. May the best man win on March 26.”

ORLANDO, Fla. - февруари 18, 2022 - Jamaine “The Technician”Ortiz used his superior hand and foot speed to dance and dish out punishment against gameNahir Albright to win the vacant NABF title in the main event ofShoBox: Новото поколение as part of an action-packed doubleheader onSHOWTIME Friday night at the Caribe Royale Resort.

Ortiz (15-0-1, 8 Нокаута) sailed to a unanimous decision win by scores of 98-92, 97-93 и 97-93 to remain undefeated and stamp his name as a player in a loaded lightweight division. КликнетеТУК to watch video of the decision.

Whether he was walking Albright (14-2, 7 Нокаута) down or punching on the move, Ortiz produced a dominant and flashy performance over 10 кръга, wowing a crowd that included former light heavyweight championAntonio Tarver and San Francisco 49ers All-Pro offensive linemanTrent Williams. КликнетеТУК to watch highlights of the ninth round.

After he was dropped twice in his last fight against Joseph Adorno in a majority draw in April, Ortiz looked more poised and patient in the early going, picking his punches carefully and hitting and moving while avoiding Albright’s big right hand.

As the difference in speed became apparent, Ortiz began to open up in the second after he scored with a big left that caught Albright clean. From that point on, Ortiz maintained control of the distance and pace, leaping at Albright with lefts and rights or peppering him with jabs.

“I think I showed maturity in this fight,- каза Ортис. “I was cautious in the beginning. I didn’t want to get caught like I did in my last fight. After I took the first couple rounds to feel him out, I saw that I could do whatever I wanted in there and I started to get into a groove and let my punches go.”

Ortiz, от Уорчестър, Mass., поземлен 48% (103 на 216) от неговите силови удари, в сравнение с 41% for Albright (88 на 216), but it was his body punching that produced the biggest numerical disparity. Ortiz out-landed Albright 42 към 4 to the body, showcasing that aspect of his game in the fifth round when he found a home for several thudding body shots. Afterward, Ortiz called out the power-puncher Rolly Romero (14-0, 12 Нокаута) as the opponent he wants to face next.

“He’s got a big name,- каза Ортис. “He’s a big puncher, but he can’t box. That would be an easy fight. My goal is to have a title eliminator and to win a title. След това, my goal is to be one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport.”

Ortiz’s signature round was the sixth, when he showcased his footwork and speed, darting around the ring and landing rights and lefts. He connected with an overhand right on the run while New Jersey’s Albright was on the ropes and then landed several unanswered right uppercuts to punctuate the round.

Albright, an aspiring R&B singer, showed his toughness and resilience by trying to match Ortiz’s output each round. He had success in spurts, but it was fleeting. In the ninth, he landed a pair of overhand rights, only for Ortiz to use his footwork to avoid taking further punishment.

He was the better man in there tonight,” an emotional Albright said. “It was a great experience and I saw a different look. I know that I have all the talent and ability, and this will not deter me at all from being a world champion.

В телевизията отварачка, Пол Kroll иMarquis Taylor fought to a spirited split draw in their eight-round super welterweight bout by scores of 77-75 for Kroll, 80-72 for Taylor and 76-76 in a verdict that frustrated both fighters. КликнетеТУК to watch video of the decision.

Before the bout, Philly’s Kroll spoke of the little respect he had for Taylor’s power, since Taylor only had one knockout on his ledger, but it was Taylor who was the harder and busier puncher in the contest, relying on a check left hook that continually found its mark.

Houston’s Taylor connected on 34% of his power punches compared to 29% for Kroll, outscoring him 98 към 71 и го кацнете извън него 109 към 84 в общи удари.

Taylor (12-1-2, 1 KO) staggered Kroll (9-0-1, 6 Нокаута) in the sixth with the biggest punch of the fight, a left that caused Kroll to fall against the ropes as Taylor followed up with digging shots to the body.

I thought I had it for sure,” Taylor said. “I thought I had the fight in the bag. I don’t know what the judges saw. I was being the aggressor and I landed the clearer shots. I thought I really had that fight with no questions. I don’t know what else I could’ve done.”

The busier and fresher fighter, Taylor didn’t sit in between rounds and at times had to be restrained by his trainer from running to the middle of the ring before his minute of rest was up.

Normally a patient and technically sound fighter, Kroll, a former amateur star who won the 2016 U.S. Olympic боксови Trials, went after Taylor in the first, throwing a wild right hand that continually missed its mark.

Kroll fought well in spurts and with urgency in the eighth and final round, but Taylor was ready for him.

“I thought I won the fight 5-3,” Kroll said. “I took the beginning and the end. He won a couple rounds in the middle. We can run it back on the next ShoBox. I am ready to fight him again. He was awkward, but I outworked him on the inside. I won that fight.”
