“I have to outclass him and make him not even want to fight anymore,” va dir Heráldez. “I’m going to make him retire. My goal on fight night is to win and show out for my Mexican fans in New York.”
Heraldez, who trains out of the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas with coach Otis Pimpleton, made his 2019 debut in February by knocking out Eddie Ramirez in round seven of their super lightweight fight. Mendez is another step up in competition for the 28-year-old.
“On paper he’s the toughest fighter I’ve faced,” va dir Heráldez. “I only watched some of his fight against Ramirez, but being a former world champion, it means he’s doing something right. I don’t think he does anything better than me and I’m looking to show it on fight night.”
This will be Heraldez’s first fight on SHOWTIME, giving him a chance to shine on a big stage leading up to the Deontay Wilder heavyweight world title defense against Dominic Breazeale in the main event. For Heraldez, he sees this is an opportunity to display what he’s already being doing in the ring for years.
“I’m excited to be able to show off what I’ve always been able to do,” va dir Heráldez. “It’s going to be no surprise to the people around me who know what I’m capable of. It’s another stage with more people watching, but the ring and everything else stays the same.
“A fight like this adds more motivation for my future because I want to keep changing the lives of my family. Little by little, win by win and fight by fight, I can accomplish that. That’s where my motivation comes from.”
A Las Vegas-native who is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, Heraldez believes he’s ready for a world title shot and knows that Argenis Mendez is currently in his path to getting that coveted opportunity.
“If the title fight is there after I beat Mendez, m'ho prenc,” va dir Heráldez. “That’s one of the ultimate goals and something I’ve been preparing for my whole career. I’m going to keep training hard like I always do to be at my best against Mendez. I’m going to have a great performance May 18 and they won’t be able to deny my place in this division.”

LAS VEGAS – Abril 27, 2019 – Robert Pasqua Jr. and Rances Barthelemy fought to a split-draw in their matchup for the vacant WBA Lightweight World Title Saturday on SHOWTIME from The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
The challenging fight to score was ruled 115-113 Bartolomé, 115-113 Easter and 114-114. The WBA 135-pound title remains vacant following the split decision.
With both former world champions needing a win in a crossroads affair, neither fighter was able to pull the trigger in a matchup of talented counterpunchers. The tall, rangy lightweights competed on the outside for much of the 12-round bout, and while both relied on their reach to keep their opponent at bay, they failed to land many effective shots from the outside.
The switch-hitting Cuban Barthelemy (27-1-1, 14 KOs), who fought defensively for most of the fight, transitioned to mostly southpaw in the third. The former two-division world champion’s most effective punches appeared to be body shots from the southpaw stance, while Easter (21-1-1, 14 KOs) was at his best when he countered with his right.
As the 12-round affair progressed, the corners of both fighters – Robert Easter Sr. and former Cuban champion Joel Casamayor – pleaded with their pugilists to increase their output to little avail. Neither fighter landed 10 punches in any round, and while Easter was slightly more active they combined to throw just 743 cops. They combined to land just 106 cops totals.
“I feel I did enough to win this fight but the judges saw it differently,” said Easter, who was fighting for the first time since losing to pound-for-pound great Mikey Garcia in a unification last summer. “They saw it a different way. Rances is a crafty fighter, an elusive fighter. I tried to take the fight to him but he wouldn’t take it. It was hard to land my shots.”
Bartolomé, who was returning to lightweight after losing a rematch to Kiryl Relikh in his bid to become Cuba’s first three-division world champion, was frustrated with the decision.
“Robert was absent in the ring tonight,” Barthelemy said. “I wanted him to land his right and he didn’t. I wanted him to come forward and he didn’t. We were prepared for a different Robert Easter – the one that attacks – but he didn’t show up so I couldn’t deliver my strategy.
“I landed the cleaner and more accurate shots. I feel I threw more punches. I was the busier fighter. Vaig guanyar la lluita. I think this was a missed opportunity for me. I really feel I won this fight.”
Former 140-pound world champion Viktor Postol outclassed Mohamed Mimoune in a WBC Super Lightweight Eliminator, guanyar per decisió unànime 98-92, 97-93, 99-91 in the SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION co-feature.
Postol fought off a stiff jab and utilized his reach advantage to keep the fight at range. The Ukrainian, who was working with Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, was the more active fighter from bell to bell, llançament 587 punches compared to just 306 for the French Mimoune. While Mimoune was elusive and able to slip many of Postol’s power shots, he never left himself in a position to effectively counter his taller and more aggressive opponent. The southpaw Mimoune (21-3, 2 KOs) averaged just 30 punches per round and was off balance for much of the fight, throwing wide looping shots that rarely landed.
Després de la baralla, Postol attributed his victory with being able to remain disciplined and stick to the game plan of Roach.
“I always try to be disciplined,” Postol said. “I did well tonight. My opponent’s style was a little awkward, but I did okay. If I could fight a guy like (Terenci) Crawford, I can handle Mimoune. And I did.”
Després de la baralla, Postol, who’s only losses came against top fighters Terence Crawford and Josh Taylor, promised to chase the elite of the 140-pound class.
“I want the next big fight,” Postol said. “Doesn’t matter who – WBC Champion Jose Ramirez would be a great choice. I was away for two years so I was a little bit worried before, but now I feel like I’m back. Estic 100 percent back and ready for the next test.”
Hall of Famer Steve Farhood, who served as unofficial ringside scorer for the SHOWTIME telecast, gave Postol all 10 of the rounds in the WBC Eliminator.
A la primera baralla de la transmissió per televisió, fast-rising heavyweight Efe Ajagba added another knockout to his resume with a second-round TKO of previously once-beaten Michael Wallisch.
Esquirol (10-0, 9 KOs) was aggressive from the outset, llançant gairebé 100 punches in the opening round. Utilizing a steady diet of 1-2 combos, Ajagba landed at will in the second against Wallisch, who fought behind a high guard but couldn’t prevent the Nigerian’s power shots from landing. After eating a series of combos in the second, Wallisch (19-2, 12 KOs) took a knee and was given time to recover after Ajagba appeared to throw and land a punch with his opponent on his knee. Wallisch got back up but was defenseless against Ajagba’s onslaught, forcing referee Tony Weeks to step in to stop the contest at 1:40.
“I took my time in there, I used my jab a lot and it worked,” said Agjaba, que va aterrar 43 per cent dels seus tirs de l'energia. “When I shot my right hand and he took it, I decided to keep unloading. I kept throwing combinations and I knew I was hurting him so I kept doing it.
“I’m happy to be training with Ronnie (Escuts). He is one of the best trainers in the world. He helped me with my jab and he’s helping me develop as a fighter.”
Said trainer Ronnie Shields: “I think we still have a lot to learn. You saw he’s a busy guy and for a big guy to throw 93 punches in the first round, it’s a lot. He may be about a year away to becoming a contender. He will get there.”
Tonight’s live event was promoted by Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions.
An encore presentation of the tripleheader will air Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available via the network’s On Demand platforms.

Here is what the workout participants had to say Tuesday from Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas:
Rances Barthélemy
“The key thing for me to get back to the top, is to get back to my roots. It’s about using what made me a champion and getting back to that. We’ve gone back to our Cuban roots in training with Joel Casamayor and left any distractions behind. You’ll see all of that in my performance on Saturday night.
“Easter and myself are both on the road to redemption coming off of our first defeats. I expect the same Robert Easter Jr. that I’ve seen on tape. He comes forward and tries to fight it out. There’s nothing overly impressive about him to me.
“I’m ready for whatever Robert Easter Jr. wants. Si vol una guerra, we’ll have a war. Everyone knows I’ve never backed down, but I’m going to win this fight with the intelligence that made me a world champion.
“Casamayor comes from the same streets as me, he knows my style, how I think and how I need to work. We identify with one another a lot so we don’t have to confront each other. With a simple look, I know what he’s trying to tell me. Between him and my brother, Yan, I feel blessed to have two Olympians in my corner.
“To the Cuban people, this will be my best fight and and a strong performance for the Cuban boxing community. I’m going to focus and work hard like us Cubans always have since we were born. I had to grow up through hardships and I’ve worked to show that anything is possible coming from Cuba.”
MOHAMED MIMOUNE
“Postol is one of the best that I will face but I am not afraid. I am confident I will win. I’ve studied him together with my coach and we have a strategy in place that you will see on Saturday.
“Estic molt emocionat per aquesta oportunitat. It is every boxer’s dream to fight in Las Vegas and I am happy and ready to show the Americans what I have.
“I have no issues with Postol’s height advantage. I am prepared for it. It is not my first time facing off against a boxer that is taller than me. I have a very good reach as well, but it is my speed that will beat him.
“I have worked very hard after my losses and put all my effort into bettering my performance. I’m stronger and more mature now than ever. I know I have to win and I will win.
I’m looking forward to the opportunity to fight for the world title after I win on Saturday night. I’m dedicating this fight too all French people and I hope they make sure to not miss it on Saturday.”
JOEL CASAMAYOR, Barthelemy’s Trainer
“We’ve been training since mid-February for this fight. It’s been a long three months in the gym together. I see a different Rances. He’s fighting smarter and he’s gotten back to his Cuban roots. That’s what made him a two-time world champion.
“It’s hard to predict, but if it were up to me of course I’d say Rances will win by knockout. From what I’ve seen in training camp, Rances is going to put on a great performance Saturday night. He knows what he has to do.
“We have a great connection throughout camp. I just have to look into his eyes and I feel like I know what he’s going to bring. All the hard work has been done and he’s 100 percent ready for Saturday night.”
MEHDI OUMIHA, Mimoune’s Trainer
“Mohamed Mimoune is an improved fighter who’s shown a lot of new and different skills in training. We have the right tactics to earn this victory on Saturday.
“We are prepared for what Postol can bring, but we’re focused on Mohamed Mimoune being at his best. Everything I have seen in training camp makes me very confident that we’re going to win Saturday and go on to fight for the title.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions
“Rances has a tremendous amount of experience. If you look at his earlier fights before he became champion and during his championship runs, he’s fought on the big stage time and time again.
“I think Rances’ experience will help in a fight like this, but Robert Easter Jr. has also been in big fights. They both bring a lot of background in exciting, high-quality fights. You have two fighters with something to prove looking to do just that live on SHOWTIME Saturday night.”

The 33-year-old is unbeaten in his last four contests, including most recently defeating Marc Vidal for a European featherweight title in October.
“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity to win another world title and I’m thankful and excited for May 18,” va dir Martínez. “Gary Russell Jr is in for a rude awakening. I have a lot of experience and I feel great at featherweight. There will be nothing better than celebrating my 50ºfight with a new world title.”
The undefeated Heraldez(16-0, 10 KOs) continued to rise up the rankings in 2019 when he knocked out Eddie Ramirez in their February showdown.

“I’m one of the best super lightweights in the world and I’m going to show it again on May 18,” va dir Heráldez. “They keep lining them up and I’ll keep knocking them down. Mendez is good, veteran opposition, but I’m going to show I’m on a different level. This is a great opportunity to once again perform on a big stage and I’m going to take full advantage and steal the show.”
Méndez (25-5-2, 12 KOs) most recently fought to a competitive split-draw against Anthony Peterson in March, running his unbeaten streak up to three fights. The 32-year-old defeated Eddie Ramirez and Ivan Redkach in back-to-back fights after losses to Robert Easter Jr. and Luke Campbell. Originally from San Juan de la Maguana, Dominican Republic and now living in Brooklyn, N.Y, Mendez won the IBF super featherweight title with a knockout victory over Juan Carlos Salgado in 2013.

La cobertura de SHOWTIME comença a les 10 p.m. ET / 7 pm. PT and will also feature former super lightweight championViktor Postol taking on France’sMohamed Mimounein a WBC Super Lightweight Title Eliminator, while rising heavyweight sensationAdora a Ajagba looks to remain undefeated against once-beaten GermanMichael Wallisch en una atracció de pes pesat de 10 assalts.
Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions, es poden adquirir awww.cosmopolitanlasvegas.comor through Ticketmaster.
After losing for the first time in his pro career in a 140-pound title fight against Kiryl Relikh last March, Barthelemy rebounded to stop Robert Frankel in December as he prepared to return to the lightweight division to face Easter. Since the loss to Relikh, Barthelemy made fellow Cuban and former world champion Joel Casamayor head trainer as he looks to return to the championship ranks.
Here is what Barthelemy had to say from training camp at Prince Ranch Bones Adams Boxing Gym in Las Vegas:
Com ha anat el camp d'entrenament fins ara?
“Everything has been going well under the guidance of Joel Casamayor and the assistance of my brother Yan Barthelemy and Oscar Vasquez. We have been training twice a day and sparring three to four times a week against solid guys like former world champion and ex-opponent Mickey Bey. Like they say, ‘iron sharpens iron’ and the quality of sparring has been tremendous help in getting me ready for April 27. I feel better prepared both mentally and physically than I did in my most recent fights.”
What do you make of Robert Easter Jr. and what do you know about him?
“I have seen various Robert Easter Jr fights and have been studying him very closely. He’s a great boxer who likes to use his height and reach to his advantage. He’s an ex-world champion who has fought quality opponents. He deserves all of my respect but we are very confident that we will be victorious against him.”
Do you feel you have been able to rebound from your first career defeat?
“El més definitivament, I have been able to move on and use that defeat as a lesson in my career. They say sometimes we learn more in defeat than we do in victories and that was the case in that fight.
“Sometimes we do not see clearly when we are winning. Bad habits or little details that need correction are overlooked when you are winning. Sometimes we do not even see them. I feel rejuvenated and we have made many important changes that were necessary for my career. You will see on April 27 that there is still much more left from Team Barthelemy.”
What would it mean to become a champion again on April 27?
“We have no doubt that we’ll become champion again for a third time on April 27. This will bring my name back at the top of the sport with many potential big fights to be made. It will mean so much more to me because Cuban boxing has currently gone through a rough patch and this victory will allow Cuba to have a champion once again.”
Any final message to your fans before your fight?
“Please make sure to tune in on April 27. This fight will be very competitive, with two evenly-skilled former world champions looking to reclaim their status at the top of the sport. Fights like this are what make boxing great. Cuba will have a champion once again on April 27!”

Native va oferir la millor actuació de la seva carrera i va creuar una decisió unànime sobre el Christina Hammer d'Alemanya dissabte a Showtime en el partit de boxa de les dones més significatiu de la història. Els jutges van marcar la lluita 98-92 i 98-91 dues vegades.
Els dos cops de medalistes olímpics d'or (9-0, 2 KOs), que va entrar a la lluita sostenint l'IBF, WBA i WBC títols de 160 lliures, va mostrar el seu arsenal complet de les habilitats en la representació dominant i ara s'uneix a Terrence Crawford, Jermain Taylor, Bernard Hopkins, Oleksandr USYK i Cecilia Braekhus de pes pesat per a dones com a únics combatents que han unificat els quatre títols mundials principals de qualsevol classe de pes.
Christina Hammer (24-0, 11 KOs), que posseïa el cinturó WBO que entrava a la lluita, Havia neutralitzat el seu jab en gran mesura i la seva defensa va explotar des del principi fins al final. Shields va aterrar un notable 44% dels seus cops de puny i van aterrar 112 Total punxons en comparació amb just 49 per a martell. Tan impressionant com la seva ofensa, La defensa i el moviment del cap de Shields eren immaculats, ja que Hammer es va poder connectar just 13% del seu cop de puny total, 11% de les seves punyetes i 18% dels seus trets de poder.
Parlant al Saló de la fama de Showtime, Steve Farhood, després de la nit històrica de la boxa de les dones, Els escuts foragits i emocionals no van retenir res.
“Sóc la dona més gran de tots els temps,”, Va dir Shields, que gairebé va guanyar una aturada durant una barraca en els moments de tancament de la vuitena ronda. “Ho vaig fer. No va guanyar ni una sola ronda. Gairebé la vaig fer fora. Juro que sento que somio ara mateix. Gràcies a Christina Hammer i al seu equip. Van dir que tenia un puny dur i que no mentien. El seu punyet està fora de la cadena.
“Acabava de calcular a la primera volta i després vaig començar a recollir -la,”Va continuar. “Sabia que podia fer -li mal. Vaig pensar que la vaig acabar a la ronda vuit. Vaig pensar que la lluita s’hauria d’haver aturat. Ella estava aguantant -me. Acabo de dir -me, Mantingueu -vos genial, Mantingueu -vos fresc. Intentava aconseguir el cop de puny perfecte per treure -la. "
Frescorant la victòria més gran de la seva carrera professional, El recent campió indiscutible del món ja té la seva visió en un altre oponent.
"La boxa de les dones, Estem al foc. No puc esperar per veure la propera súper lluita. Doneu -me la casa de fre de Cecilia a 154 lliura. Això és qui vull després. O bé o Savannah Marshall. "
"No vaig lluitar gaire bé ni ràpid,"Va dir un martell sotmès. "Això és la boxa, Qualsevol cosa pot passar. Volia aquesta lluita. Ella va guanyar, respecte a ella. És una dura, Dona forta i això és tot el que puc dir.
"És ràpida, Ella es presenta. Té mans ràpides. No podia aterrar el meu puny tan bo com esperava. Tornaré i tornaré més fort. "
“Crec que la lluita d’aquesta nit passarà als llibres d’història com a batalla èpica amb els gustos d’Al-Frazier, Del Hoya-Trinitat,” va dir Dmitriy Saleta, President de Salita Promocions.“Amb aquesta actuació dominant i captivadora per convertir-se en coronat campió de pes mig indiscutible, juntament amb la seva llista de rècords realitzats, Claressa Shields està en camí de ser tan venerat com Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Serena Williams, Michael Jordan, Pele i altres a la part superior del seu joc.”
En la baralla co-estel·lar, Jermaine Franklin (18-0, 13 KOs), àmpliament considerat com la màxima perspectiva de pes pesat nord -americà, Va mantenir el seu rècord invicte intacte amb una decisió unànime de deu rondes sobre l'anterior no. 1-Classificats als EUA. Amateur Rydell Booker (25-2, 12 KOs). Els jutges van marcar la lluita 99-91 i 98-91 dues vegades.
El Franklin, de 25 anys, va dictar el ritme i va ser molt més actiu i agressiu que el seu homòleg de 38 anys. Booker va tenir els seus moments, especialment a les primeres rondes, quan va aconseguir diversos tirs de potència, però el jove Franklin es va allunyar a la segona meitat de la lluita quan Booker es cansava i Franklin va apuntar al cos.. Franklin va fer la mitjana 54 cops per ronda a Booker 35 i conduït 146-94 en cops globals aterrats.
“Crec que he tingut una actuació decent,", va dir el Saginaw, em. natiu. "Hi ha algunes coses en les quals podria treballar. Em vaig amuntegar una mica i estava una mica massa ansiós. Tenia molta més experiència que jo i la va aprofitar al seu avantatge. Podia veure el que estava fent.
"Vaig aprendre a tenir més paciència perquè el vaig fer mal algunes vegades, però una vegada em vaig sentir massa ansiós, tot el meu pla de joc va sortir per la finestra. Vaig començar a fer malbé i a cometre errors bojos que no hauria de tenir. Ara he de tornar a la taula de dibuix per treballar en els meus errors i sortir més gran i més dolent la propera vegada ".
"Vaig sentir que em va superar, però va estar molt més a prop de com ho van anotar els jutges,", va dir Booker. "Em trobava a faltar molt més del que semblava. Vaig relliscar molts cops i el vaig colpejar net.
"Sabia que faria pressió, però necessita molta feina. Es manté massa centrat amb el cap. Està bé. El que té al seu costat és la joventut. La meva actuació la valoraria amb un set. Vaig tenir una lesió del camp d'entrenament amb la qual estava tractant. Em mantindré actiu i tornaré més fort que mai".
A l'obertura de la televisió, Otto Wallin, el prospecte invicte dels cinc primers classificats (20-0, 13 KOs, 1 ND) i Nick Kisner de Baltimore (21-4-1, 6 KOs, 1 ND) El seu combat de 10 rondes es va interrompre quan els dos pesos pesats es van enfrontar de cap a la ronda inicial. Wallin va patir un tall al costat del cap mentre que Kisner va patir un tall a l'ull dret, dificultant la seva capacitat de veure. Segons el consell del metge de ringside entre la primera i la segona ronda, l'àrbitre Earl Brown va aturar la lluita, resultant en una no decisió.
En el moment de la detenció, Wallin va dirigir 14-3 en cops globals aterrats, 7-1 en cops i 7-2 en cops de força.
“A mi, el seu tall no semblava tan malament,", va dir un Wallin decebut, que estava fent els seus EUA. debut. "És una llàstima perquè vaig entrenar molt dur per a aquesta lluita i estava buscant fer un espectacle per als fans a Amèrica.. Simplement no vaig tenir temps de marxar.
"M'agradaria tornar-hi aviat i mostrar el que puc fer. Vaig a prendre això com una experiència d'aprenentatge".
“Vaig agafar un cop de cap i l'àrbitre va venir a mi,", va dir Kisner. "Em va veure lliscar-me l'ull i em va dir" ho veus?’ vaig dir, "Tan aviat em tregui la sang de l'ull"., segur.’
"Em sento horrible després d'entrenar tant. Em vaig sentir bé a la primera volta. Els jutges probablement li van donar la primera volta, però sempre em trec la primera ronda. Sentia que podria arribar a ell eventualment. Em vas veure aterrar amb la meva mà dreta."

Quina il·lusió estàs de lluitar als EUA??
Christina Hammer: “Estic molt emocionat perquè aquesta és una lluita molt gran. No puc esperar per arribar-hi, pujar al ring i fer una gran actuació.”
Què significa aquesta lluita per a vostè?
CH: “Aquesta serà la lluita de dones més gran de la història. Els dos som campions, té medalles d'or olímpiques i altres reconeixements, així que amb tot això combinat, serà un canvi de joc per al nostre esport.”
Què has de fer per guanyar?
CH: “Sóc campió des de fa temps i sé què fer al ring. Sé que tinc les habilitats per vèncer-la. Tinc un gran treball amb els peus i el meu objectiu és guanyar-la malament.”
Què en penseu de la Claressa dins i fora del ring??
CH: “Claressa, òbviament, ha aconseguit moltes coses tornant als Jocs Olímpics. Aquest és un gran pas per a ella i crec que serà un repte per a ella. Com a persona, ella només és la meva oponent, això és tot.”

Pots parlar de les teves experiències com a model i per què això és important per a tu?

“Ser model és una feina fàcil, només em dona confiança. Ser lluitador és difícil. Ho has de donar tot, perquè al ring no pots fugir. Has de lluitar i derrotar algú.”
Alguna vegada voldríeu competir en un altre esport??

CH: “Laila Ali va ser una gran campiona i si jo lluités amb ella seria una gran lluita.”
Veus la boxa femenina com un esport en augment??
CH: “Sí, realment ha crescut en els darrers anys. Hi ha més baralles a grans plataformes per a nosaltres i crec que això és només el començament.”
Recomanaríeu que altres dones s'endinsin a la boxa?
CH: “La boxa és un gran esport. Necessites tècnica, intel·ligència i et fa sentir més segur. Si passa alguna cosa, pots cuidar-te. És el millor entrenament i el suggereixo a tothom.”
