JOSHUA CONFERENCE CALL HIGHLIGHTS:
Vraag: How have your preparations gone and what are your thoughts in anticipation for the big fight?
Anthony Joshua: “Preparations have gone really well. We’re still in preparation now but so far, so good. I do believe a happy fighter makes a good fighter. For the experience over my last few fights in 11 maanden have gone 11 rondes, 10 rondes, have been a blessing. I’ve learned about training camp and I’ve learned about myself. It’s the first time I’ve kind of voiced up to my coach man-to-man. I’ve said, ‘Look, this is what I’ve thought was working and this is what I feel isn’t working. Can I have your input and can we make some changes?’ Not in a sense of how he’s training me. Just in terms of schedule and it’s been really good. I’ve had some cruiserweights come in sparring for speed, some big heavy hitters who throw big right hands and left hooks and wait for me to make a mistake. We’ve been sparring 15 rondes. And honestly, I’ve been doing this for 10 years now if I rack up my amateur career and my pro career. And you know the 10,000-hour rule. I’m starting to get confident. I’ve had the ability but I think I’m matched up with my mindset now and I’m feeling really good and confident ahead of Maart 31.
Q: People in the U.S. are excited about your fight with Parker but there are so many American fans excited about the prospect of a fight between yourself and Wilder. What are your thoughts on that and are you able to tune that out ahead of your fight with Parker on the 31st?
Joshua: “You’ve got to remember that a lot of that talk about me and Wilder started in 2017 after he beat Bermane Stiverne but I haven’t spoken much about it. I’ve got great people in my corner that handle the business while I focus on the handling of my boxing technique. We reached out to Deontay Wilder’s team before the fight with Joseph Parker was made. And once that fight didn’t happen, I put Wilder aside and focused solely on Parker. I’m not the one overlooking Joseph Parker and I’m not the one hooting and hollering about what’s happening next. I’m really focused on Parker because as you know, if I don’t get past Parker, it slows down the train and derails everything we’re trying to achieve in terms of becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.”
Q: Do you allow yourself to think about the prospect of that fight in the event that you win the fight on the 31st?
Joshua: “One-hundred 10 procent. There’s no doubt in my mind that fight will happen. And there’s no doubt in my mind that I’ll beat Wilder as well. This is where we’re heading. Fight after fight, my view on it is this…When Wladimir Klitschko was active and his brother relinquished the WBC belt, Wilder won it. If he was so interested in becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, why didn’t he offer to fight Klitschko and say ‘Listen, I’ve got that belt that your brother has had for the last 10 jaar. Let’s me and you fight now.’ There’s a lot of pressure from fans in America, media and the papers for Wilder to step up and fight. And now we’re here and I’m that champion and I’m definitely looking forward to it. That’s why back-to-back, I’ve been racking up these belts one by one and taking fights. SHOWTIME has been riding with me for six fights, a quarter of my career. And we’re headed towards the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world.”
Q: There was a report in the Telegraph (UK) that there’s possibly going to be a meeting between yourself and the people at UFC who are now going to be getting involved in boxing. Can you give me your perspective on you joining their organization and about what they wrote today?
Joshua: “I’m riding with Eddie. He’s backed me from the get-go. And the second thing, Ik ben een bokser. I’m not into the UFC so I don’t know what their plans are. But every time I’ve been asked about UFC and if I would make that crossover like McGregor did with Mayweather, I’ve said yes.
Q: It wasn’t about Anthony Joshua becoming a mixed martial artist, their intentions are to promote boxing events. Dana White and the UFC view you as someone that any promotional company could build around given your star power.
Joshua: “Oh yeah, a hundred percent. I’m interested because we can all work together. Mine and Eddie’s relationship is a really good working relationship. I’m sure Eddie has an interest in working with Dana White. If it’s good business, it makes sense. I’m not into business. I’m sure Eddie’s not going to say, ‘Dana White, we’re not interested in working with you’ when we don’t know what’s on the table. We’ll listen and a hundred percent, if it makes sense, we’re all in. I’m happy that Dana White is coming into the game and hopefully he can add some excitement, progress forward, make some good money and make some good fights.”
Q: Eddie, do you have any thoughts about the story in the paper today?
Eddie Hearn: "Niet Doen, I saw it and Gareth [Davies] spoke to me about it today. If Dana White wants to speak to us, obviously Anthony’s with us. We’re willing to talk to anybody and we do great business with everyone. We work with anyone, if the business is right. In the meantime, I’ll sign Conor McGregor and it’ll be fair.”
Q: You weighed 254 pounds for your last fight and there’s been some talk in the media that you’re looking to slim down for this fight. Can you tell us what weight you’re looking to check in at for this fight?
Joshua: “Let’s say 17.5, 17.4 (steen). You’ve got to remember with this weight nonsense, no fighter should go into training camp focusing on their weight. This isn’t Weight Watchers and nobody should focus on their weight as such. But I do feel that your weight has to adapt to the style of fighter you’re facing. With Carlos Takam, he was a shorter fighter. He came in on the inside and ended up head-butting me so I knew I had to kind of be able to lean on Takam and tire him out. I knew he was going to move a lot. This wasn’t going to be a Kubrat Pulev type of fight where I’m going to be jabbing or counter punching. I was going to be sitting on top of Takam and working into the body so the weight played a good role. But now, I’m fighting someone like Parker who’s a lot quicker and moves a lot more. I have to make sure I’m lighter on my feet so I’ve adjusted to the style of fighter I’m fighting. I haven’t adjusted my weight for any other reason than the type of fighter I’m going to be facing.”
Q: Is there any truth to the idea of you being lighter and not carrying around as much muscle could help you in the long run?
Joshua: "Ik m 20-0, I’m unified champ, muscle or not, I’m still handling business. I feel like people try to find anything to steer your mind from what’s working. I’m winning, racking up wins and it’s been going well. I wouldn’t focus on anything else than what’s working.”
Q: Do you look at Joseph Parker as the most dangerous challenge in your career thus far?"
Joshua: "Niet Doen. Wladimir Klitschko.”
Q: How different of a matchup is this to Wladimir?
Joshua: “Wladimir was a phenomenal champion. I just feel people didn’t give him the credit. He doesn’t have a name that a lot of the Western fans can resonate with. It’s not like an Adam Clark. His first language wasn’t English. People didn’t really buy into it. He was dominating. He was a great champion. Ten years on top. Phenomenal. 69 gevechten en 64 wins. That’s phenomenal. I’m fighting someone that’s 24-0. Everything I learned from that fight was a blessing and it’s led me to being confident ahead of the fight with Joseph Parker. So I’m dealing with a different beast. Parker still poses a threat but doesn’t’ have half the experience that Wladimir had.”
Q: Do you think Parker is the most technical fighter you’ve faced up to this point and if so, why do you think that?
Joshua: “I think it’s because he’s had an extensive amateur career. I do believe the Lomachenkos, Rigondeauxs, Andre Wards have all had great amateur careers which led them on to be phenomenal professionals and Joseph Parker’s had that. I have to give credit where credit is due. But then, so have I and I was always told to leave the amateur’s in the background because the pros are a different game. And now we’re facing each other as professionals. I just think he has that amateur background behind him and he knows how to fight. He’s traveled the world so coming to England is nothing new to him. He’s got that in his locker, which has gotten him this far.”
Q: Looking at your 21st gevecht, what do you feel at this stage in the game that you need to improve on?
Joshua: "When I look at boxing now, everybody talks about what I need to do to be a great champion and it seems to me that it’s a right hand and a good chin. We might as well go to the night clubs around England and America and just find the biggest and ugliest looking guy and he’ll become heavyweight champion. What I need to do to become a great champion is just work on my all-around game. The fundamentals. We’re talking about balance, footwork and understanding the distance between being in range and out of range. Perfecting your jab. Use your jab 50 times before you throw your right hand. Let’s make sure your right hand is in the right position to defend a left hook in case you get countered. Everything. That’s why I say when I fought Wladimir Klitschko, he had enough time to make mistakes and come back and reign supreme as a champion. So over time, in these types of fights I’ve had early on in my career, I’ve learned what will play massive roles later on when I become one of the dominant fighters in the heavyweight division.”
Q: How do you stay dialed in and not worry about all of the outside noise regarding your career?
Joshua: “Because I know about the history of the sport. I know how easy it is to be forgotten about. I just realize that this is my time and I have to capitalize and maximize and do what’s right for me. This isn’t about being the fan favorite. I’m not here to be pat on the back. I’m here to handle my business in the best way possible and when it’s all said and done be content with the decisions I’ve made.”
Q: How would you assess your performance against Carlos Takam?
Joshua: “I won every round. I got head-butted. I couldn’t breathe through my nose. I realize that Takam was a late step in so I was preparing for someone completely different. Zo, what I decided to do with Carlos is just go through the motions because I realize 2018 was a massive year in terms of unifying with Joseph Parker and then potentially facing Deontay Wilder providing I win to become undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Zo, my game plan with Takam was don’t be too explosive and don’t take too many risks. Make sure I dominate Takam and I win every round and that’s kind of how things panned out.”
Q: How do you think Joseph looked in his last fight against Hughie Fury?
Joshua: “You’ve got to look at Parker when he boxes on the front and the back foot. There’s two significant changes. When he boxes on the front foot, I think he finds it difficult to land combinations because I just think he struggled a bit against Fury when he was dancing on the edge of the ring. But when he fights people like Takam on his back foot, he’s better. I just think he really struggled with Fury when he was coming forward. I do think he won. I do think Joseph Parker won. We’re both in a position to show how great we are and why we’re real contenders in the division. That’s all it’s about now. Maart 31."
Q: Do you feel you’ve gotten the credit that you deserve for fighting Klitschko because of his age?
Joshua: Is Mayweather too old to still fight you think?
Q: They’re the same age, rechts?
Joshua: Exactly. People still say Mayweather is still young and that he can still compete. The difference is, lighter weights struggle to maintain their finesse because they have to stay on a diet. They starve their body of nutrition. Heavyweights mature later. When Klitschko lost, everyone who knows boxing knew he wasn’t in the right mind frame. When he came to fight me, I just knew. He didn’t say he’s in great shape. He didn’t say he was feeling strong, but he said he’s obsessed. When your mind is right, the body will follow. That win against Klitschko was tough, I didn’t take him to points. I didn’t go there to steal the belt. I took it with both hands and it was a great fight for the history books. I’m not looking for credit, I know what that fight was and what it meant to me.”
Q: [To Hearn] What are your thoughts about Anthony’s focus on Parker with all the talk of Wilder?
Hearn: “We never have to worry about Anthony’s focus. He’s probably the most focused and driven individual you can meet. He knows the challenges and risks in front of him against Joseph Parker. One thing about Anthony is that he’s not real big on hype. We’re not really into storming the ring after fighting. When we got Klitschko in the ring after the fight, we signed a contract a few hours before that was in existence if Anthony won against [Eric] Molina that night. Until that fight is signed, Anthony won’t really get excited about that fight. He’s not really interested in talking about it or hyping it. It’s the biggest fight in world boxing. It’s a fight that’s completely irrelevant if he’s not victorious next Saturday. I don’t think that it’s Deontay Wilder, it’s the other stone that needs to be turned to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. This is Anthony’s 21st fight and effectively his second unification fight. Deontay has had 40 gevechten. We’re well ahead of schedule. All of these fights will happen and the reality is the one that put pens to paper and that are actually happening.”
Q: How important is it to you to maintain your one-hundred percent KO ratio?
Joshua: “It’s great for the record and promotion. It’s not as important to fulfilling your game plan. Some fighters will be tough and some fighters may not be there to be knocked out. I have to have it in my locker also to be able to go the distance. In terms of promotion and saying I have a hundred percent KO ratio is great. I don’t think there’s any heavyweight in the history of his career that’s been able to have purely knockouts on his record so I don’t expect to be the first one.”
Q: When you saw Wilder fight Ortiz, did you see anything that you didn’t know about him already? Did he impress you or let you down?
Joshua: Na 10 years as a professional and 40 vecht in, Wilder’s done what he’s supposed to do. He’s supposed to win. He’s supposed to beat someone like Luiz Ortiz. Na 10 years of any craft. Let’s say you’re working in sales and you can’t sell a person that Mercedes-Benz or whatever car it is, you’ve got big issues. Wilder’s had that experience to be able to dominate that division. He just did what routinely is supposed to happen and get the win. He struggled a bit, but he got there in the end. That’s all that matters. That’s what shows up in the history books, en W. Zo, I’m happy for him.”
Q: Can you elaborate on what makes you think Parker is a weird character?
Joshua: “I can’t put my finger on it.”
Hearn: “I think the weird thing was alluding to the fact that he was boding Anthony with criticism and then when we had the press conference he was nice as pie. We expected him to bring that fire to the press conference and maybe he’ll bring it next week. He was kind of one person prior to the fight and then another when we came face-to-face. But we’ll see what happens next week.”
Q: [To Hearn] Is there a rematch clause for this fight and what are the circumstances with that?
Hearn: “The details of the contract are always confidential. When there’s a great fight and the appetite to see it again, generally you’ll get it.”
Hearn (Opening Comments): “It’s a huge event. This is our sixth fight with Anthony Joshua and SHOWTIME. It’s incredible, really that we’ve had that amount of fights. It seems like the Charles Martin fight was just like yesterday. It’s incredible that in 11 maanden, Anthony Joshua has had three stadium fights. Natuurlijk, Wladimir Klitschko, Carlos Takam and now Joseph Parker. There have been 240,000 fans and over 2.5 million UK pay-per-view buys. It’s been an incredible run and an incredible 11 maanden. And a great March of course for SHOWTIME with a brilliant fight between Wilder and Ortiz and I think this fight has all of the ingredients to be even better than that. Het is een geweldig gevecht. Two undefeated young heavyweights. Fearless, snel, big punching, great footwork, 24-0 tegen 20-0. I think it’s the kind of fight that we need in the world of boxing and it’s the first-ever unification fight in Britain between two reigning heavyweight world champions. And the first time in the history of the sport that two heavyweights have fought a unification fight with perfect records. It’s going to be a huge week. We have a huge press conference at SKY volgende week dinsdag, we have a public workout op woensdag, the weigh-in is a national holiday on a Vrijdag, it’s going to be huge. Seventy-eight thousand people crammed in to Millennium Stadium for this huge unification fight. This is just the beginning for Anthony Joshua. Just another stepping stone to becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and we can’t wait. It’s a great fight and we thank SHOWTIME for all their support as ever.”
PARKER CONFERENCE CALL HIGHLIGHTS:
STEPHEN ESPINOZA (Opening Comments):
“Through the first six months of this year we will be delivering 11 marquee events, which includes matchups of five top-ranked fighters, of which this is one, and two unifications, of course which this is one. In this month of March all four heavyweight world title belts are at stake on SHOWTIME.
“This fight, Joshua vs. Parker, zullen de 12th heavyweight fight on SHOWTIME within the last three years. We’re proud to be doing our part to help propel the reinvigoration of the heavyweight division. During those last three years the U.S. audience has gotten to know a little bit about Anthony Joshua and we are very happy to be able to further introduce them to Joseph Parker, the consensus top three heavyweight in the world and WBO Champion making his third defense and his first appearance on SHOWTIME.
“We are thrilled to have this fight; it’s right in our wheelhouse, a highly competitive, highly anticipated matchup of top fighters.”
Joseph Parker: “Preparations “It’s been a great training camp that we’ve had in Las Vegas and now we’re here in London. We have about a week and a half before the fight and like Kevin mentioned, we hit the ground running. We got some good sessions in. I’m looking forward to fighting an undefeated fighter like Anthony Joshua, who I respect. I’m looking forward to this opportunity to unify the division and unify the belts and the opportunity to put on a great display and make my mark on SHOWTIME. I can’t wait for it. Our team is excited to be here and it’s going to be a great opportunity for us.”
Q: When you watch the struggles Joshua had against Klitschko, what do you take away from that fight?
Parker: “I think being active has worked well for us. I watched that fight. He did really well in terms of coming back and showed a lot of heart to get back up off the canvas and finish off the fight and getting the win. Coming into this fight, we’re young, we’re hungry and I think if we did get him in trouble there’s no waiting for us. We know how to finish off a fight. We know how to put on the pressure and get him out of there. He has strengths and weaknesses like every other fighter has and we’ll come up with a good game plan which I believe in and if I execute, I think we’ll get the victory.”
Kevin Barry: “As we know, there’s no secret about it, this is the biggest test that Joe’s had in front of him. But I also believe that this is the biggest test that Anthony Joshua’s had in front of him. We are expecting a much better Anthony Joshua than the one that fought Klitschko. I think there’s a lot of improvement in him just as there’s a lot of improvement in Joe. We’re anticipating that the styles of both these guys are going to make for a real fan-friendly fight and a very exciting fight.”
Q: There’s so much attention paid to an Anthony Joshua-Deontay Wilder fight, as if it’s an assumption that he’s going to beat you. Does that bother you?
Parker: “It doesn’t really bother me. I think everyone is entitled to their opinion and the fight they want to see. I think what’s important for us is that we focus on what’s in front of us and that’s Anthony Joshua. Our focus is on Anthony Joshua and being in great shape and being healthy. It gives us motivation in training and we know what our focus is. Our focus is Anthony Joshua and putting on the best performance of our lives Maart 31."
Q: As a fan of boxing, how good is a match like this for the sport?
Parker: “A match like this is a very big deal. As a fan of boxing and as a fighter, we love to watch the big fights and be involved in the big fights. So we’re pretty happy to be involved in the fight. I think it’s the best time for us to be involved in a big fight like this. Back a few years ago, Kevin said he’s always wanted to fight Anthony Joshua and he said to me, when we do fight this guy, it has to mean something. And it does really mean something this time. We’re both undefeated, we both have titles, we’re both world champions and we both want to unify the division so it’s going to mean a lot and it’s a big occasion.”
Q: A lot of fans don’t know you in the United States, explain to them what you will bring to the table on Maart 31.
Parker: “The fans haven’t really seen the best Joseph Parker there is. Going into this fight, we’ve worked on a lot of things. Zoals ik zei, I trust in my whole team. I trust in my coach and the game plan. I’m going to bring a lot of movement, speed and power and a lot of angles. I promise that this is a fight that I’m going to make very exciting.”
Q: What was the reason behind losing weight heading into this fight?
Barry: “Joe’s still a very young heavyweight. We’ve been together for five years and we’re still a long way away from a finished product. Vorig jaar, we bumped Joe up quite a bit. We put a bunch of muscle on him. We put an extra 10 pounds of weight on him and it actually doesn’t really work out for us. So we sat down, Joe and I, and we said that we felt he was a busier fighter, a more mobile fighter, his feet and hands were faster, when he was lighter. So for a fight like this against a big, sterk, powerful guy like Joshua it was important that we went back to a mobile, lighter fighter.”
Q: Do you think Joshua and Eddie Hearn saw something the rest of the world didn’t see in your fight against Hughie Fury, which wasn’t your best performance?
Parker: “Last year wasn’t our best year and I wasn’t close to what we can actually do in the ring. They probably saw a lot of things that they could work on to get to us but we’re a totally different fighter now from where we were last year. We’ve improved on a lot of things and we’re going to show everyone what we’ve been working so hard on in Vegas.”
Q: What would it mean to you to become the unified heavyweight champion?
Parker: “It would mean a lot. It would mean the world, not only for myself but for our team. There’s a lot of people that’s involved in getting me to this stage and there’s a lot of people that want me to go out there and put on my best performance. It’s going to mean a lot for myself, mijn team, my coach and my countries of New Zealand and Samoa.”
Q: Are you concerned that if the fight goes to the scorecards you won’t get a fair shake because of Joshua’s popularity in Great Britain?
Parker: “I’m not concerned and the reason I say that is because we have good officials. My team has done a great job to get neutral officials and my focus is on the fight. I want to go out there and do my best. Wat er ook gebeurt, happens. But I trust that the officials will do the right thing and give the right decision.”
Barry: ”It was very important for us when we were formulating this contract that we had independent, neutral officials. We have three judges – one from the United States, one from the UK and one from New Zealand. And we have an Italian referee so we’re very happy with the names that have been put forward that there will be no disputing the decision. We believe that we have fair, very experienced officials who will do a good job come Saturday the 31st."
Q: Do you think Joshua is underestimating you based on what they saw in that fight against Fury?
Parker: “I think on that performance, they are underestimating us and I think a lot of people are already writing us off because of that performance. Maar, zoals ik al zei, we’ve worked on a lot of things and we had a great camp and it’s going to be a different fight as you guys will see Maart 31. If they’re judging us off that fight, then they’ve got it totally wrong. That could definitely work in our favor.”
Barry: “I think the same will go for both camps. If they’re looking at the Fury fight, we know that Joseph is a much better fighter than that. Fury was a very awkward opponent, an opponent that we wouldn’t have even been in the ring with if it wasn’t for a mandatory. Looking at Joshua’s last fight with Carlos Takam, he really didn’t light the world on fire in that fight and he left a lot of question marks about his performance. We’re expecting a much better Joshua than the one that fought Carlos Takam. So the same can be said both ways.”
Q: What did you think of Joshua’s performance against Takam?
Parker: “It wasn’t his best effort but he did what he had to do to get the victory. Maybe training with someone who was a lot taller and then fighting somebody shorter changed the way that he approached the fight but I think the main thing is that he got the victory and he kept the belts and that’s why we can make this big fight happen.”
Q: What do you think your advantages are over Joshua?
Parker: “I’ve been 12 rounds five times so I’m durable. With this training camp that we’ve had, we’ve worked a lot on different angles and speed. What we’ve been seeing in the gym and in sparring, we’re going to put on display come fight night. I think I have advantages in speed and power. If we execute it well on fight night then he won’t be able to catch us and he won’t be able to land that big shot that he throws.”
Barry: “Speed is the key. We’ve always believed that Joe’s the fastest heavyweight in the world. I also believe that out of all the heavyweight champions, I think Joe has the better skill. I think he does things better than Joshua does. I think he’s more complete than Joshua. Is he as big as Joshua? Niet Doen. Is his reach as long as Joshua’s? Niet Doen. Joshua’s got a 100 percent knockout record but I believe Joseph Parker is a better skilled fighter than Antony Joshua and I think when we put the movement, the hand speed and the skill together, it’s going to be a very good combination and a successful combination on Maart 31."
Q: Do you want to make a prediction for the fight?
Parker: “I’m going to be victorious. Het gaat om een geweldig gevecht worden. We’re both hungry, we’re both undefeated and we’ve both been training hard but I believe in myself. I believe in my team and what we’ve been working on. I believe I’m going to be victorious Maart 31."
Q: Do you think that Joshua’s chin is a big weakness for him?
Barry: “I think he has a pretty good chin. I know that we used the glass door as part of our marketing strategy in putting this fight together, but we believe as a team that Joshua has a good chin. He’s fought some big guys. He’s been hit on the chin before. Zeker, he got dropped against Klitschko and there were stories of him getting dropped multiple times in the amateurs and that he was dropped in the gym in sparring, but all in all he’s a big, sterk, powerful guy and I think his chin is not too bad.”
Barry (Opening Comments): “We’ve been in the gym running each morning at 6:30, 7:00 and in the boxing gym at 2:30. We’ve been doing between 16 en 18 rounds of boxing each day. Today we sparred and Joe is looking very sharp, very confident and the little bit of jet lag that we had is getting less and less by the day and we anticipate by this weekend we’ll have both feet firmly planted on the ground ready for a big week next week.”

SAN ANTONIO (Maart 11, 2018) - Mikey Garcia veroverde een wereldtitel in zijn vierde gewichtsklasse, die voorheen ongeslagen was Sergey Lipinets om het IBF Junior Wereldkampioenschap weltergewicht te winnen Zaterdag op SHOWTIME van Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio.
Met de overwinning, Garcia (38-0, 30 KO) sloot zich aan bij Manny Pacquiao en Juan Manuel Marquez als de enige vechters in de geschiedenis die titels wonnen 126, 130, 135 en 140 pond.
“Het is een geweldig gevoel. Het winnen van deze vierde titel in een vierde divisie is een eer,' zei Garcia. “Om vermeld te worden naast Manny Pacquiao en Juan Manuel Marquez is een enorme eer voor mij. Er blijft gewoon een klein hoofdstuk over in het boksen met mijn naam, mijn broer, mijn vader. Ik denk dat mensen zich de familie Garcia nog lang zullen herinneren.”
Garcia, die voor de tweede keer aan het vechten was 140 pond, vertrouwde op een vast dieet van combo's om Lipinets te ondersteunen, die de eerste verdediging maakte van de IBF-titel die hij afgelopen november op SHOWTIME won. Garcia vloerde Lipinets voor de eerste keer in zijn carrière, halverwege de zevende op een counter-linkse hoek in een opwindend moment dat het pro-Garcia-publiek bij Freeman Coliseum op de been bracht.
Garcia, die won met tientallen 116-111 en 117-110 tweemaal, aangesloten op 46 procent van zijn powershots vergeleken met 36 procent voor de titelverdediger.
“Hij kwam precies binnen zoals ik had verwacht: een hele zware, zeer hongerige en sterke vechter,' zei Garcia. “We werkten met hoeken achter de prik. Hij is erg gevaarlijk, maar we hadden een geweldig spelplan en we konden zegevieren.
“Ik weet dat ik de macht draag, maar ik vocht tegen een grotere man en hij kon tegen een stootje. Ik wilde niet gepakt worden en ik moest geduld hebben.”
Na het gevecht, Garcia, die nog steeds de WBC-titel op lichtgewicht heeft, herhaalde zijn mantra dat hij op zoek is naar de grootste gevechten die er zijn, ongeacht de gewichtsverdeling.
“Wat ik leuk vind, is dat ik alle opties heb,' zei Garcia. ‘Ik zou naar beneden kunnen gaan 135 om titels te verenigen, dat is wat ik echt wil doen. En over een paar gevechten zul je mij zien 147.
Ondanks dat hij titelverdediger is, Lipinets (13-1, 10 KO) was aan het vechten in alleen de zijne 14th professionele strijd. De Rus, die in Kazachstan is geboren, leverde een moedige poging tegen een van de beste pond-voor-pond-vechters ter wereld.
“Het was waarschijnlijk de ervaring die op een gegeven moment de overhand kreeg,' zei Lipinets. “Mikey is een geweldige vechter, hij kan duidelijk kraken. Het was gewoon ervaring die ik miste.
“Ik wil terug naar de sportschool en werken aan de problemen die ik in de ring heb laten zien. Er zijn een paar gaten die ik moet dichten. Ik kom terug. Het is een leerervaring.”
In een rematch van een van de beste en meest controversiële gevechten van 2017, Kiryl Relikh voormalig wereldkampioen in twee divisies Rances Barthelemy het eerste verlies van zijn carrière met een brede unanieme beslissing om het vacante WBA Super Lichtgewicht Wereldkampioenschap te veroveren.
Relikwie (22-2, 19 KO) was de actievere vechter en controleerde het co-main event van de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING-uitzending vanaf de openingsbel, het werpen 1,237 totale stoten vergeleken met alleen 494 voor Barthelemeus. Relikwie, waarvan velen dachten dat ze hun eerste matchup hadden gewonnen, consequent werkte uit zijn prik, aansluiten op 103 stoten per ronde, terwijl Barthelemy gemiddeld net scoorde 41.
Terwijl Barthelemy (26-1, 13 KO) wonnen een omstreden en brede beslissing in hun eerste gevecht. Er was geen controverse op de scorekaarten van de juryleden in de herkansing, dat werd gescoord 117-110 en 118-109 tweemaal.
Relikh werd pas de derde vechter uit Wit-Rusland die een wereldtitel won, terwijl Barthelemy tekortschoot in zijn poging om de eerste Cubaan te worden die een wereldtitel won in drie gewichtsklassen..
“De vorige keer was ik er niet klaar voor,' zei Relikh. “Ik had geen goede voorbereiding in het eerste gevecht, maar deze keer, met mijn nieuwe trainers, Ik was klaar. Ik ben erg blij. Ik heb op deze droom gewacht 20 jaar. Ik heb hard voor deze droom gewerkt en nu is hij van mij.
“Toen we binnenkwamen, wilden we helemaal boksen. Mijn prik is zo veel ontwikkeld sinds het laatste gevecht. Ze dachten waarschijnlijk dat ik net als de vorige keer zonder benzine zou komen te zitten, maar ik trainde deze keer als een kampioen. Alles was erop gericht om kampioen te worden en dat hebben we dan ook gedaan vanavond."
Barthelemy, die het tempo in de laatste drie ronden wat opvoerde, heeft de beslissing niet betwist.
“Mijn hart is gebroken omdat ik deelnam aan dit gevecht om die derde wereldtitel te behalen,' zei Barthélemy. “Ik moet mijn nederlaag toegeven en zeggen dat Relikh het verdiende om dat gevecht te winnen, maar ik zal terugkomen.
“Op dit punt moet ik vooruit kijken en het achter me laten.”
De aanbevolen attractie van de SHOWTIME BOXING op SHO EXTREME uitzending zag die van San Antonio Mario Barrios (21-0, 13 KO) zorgen voor een sensationele knock-out in de tweede ronde van Eudy Bernardo (23-3, 17 KO) voor de fans van zijn geboortestad.
“Ik heb zeker een statement gemaakt vanavond,”Zei Barrios. "Ik heb de divisie van 140 pond laten zien dat ik hier ben en klaar ben voor elk van hen."
Barrios was vanaf het begin dominant en sloeg vroeg in de tweede toe met een venijnige rechte lijn naar rechts die Bernardo neerlegde. Hoewel Bernardo opstond en de graaf versloeg, scheidsrechter Jon Schorle had genoeg gezien en zwaaide het gevecht af 45 seconden in de tweede ronde van de superlichtgewicht-affaire.
“Ik ging daar niet naar binnen op zoek naar de knock-out, maar ik heb hem vroeg betrapt,”Zei Barrios. “Ik heb een goede run achter de rug en ben klaar om die lijn voort te zetten. We gaan gevecht voor gevecht hogerop. Ik wil tegen het einde van het jaar een titeleliminator krijgen en hopelijk begin volgend jaar een titelschot.”
In de opening aanval van de SHO EXTREME uitzending, Richard Commey (26-2, 23 KO) scoorde een zesde ronde TKO van Alejandro Luna (22-1, 15 KO) in hun IBF Lichtgewicht Wereldtitel Eliminator.
“Ondanks de overwinning, mijn prestaties waren niet op het niveau waarop ik hoopte,zei Komey. “Hij was precies wat ik had verwacht en als ik in het begin meer van mijn stoten had gehad, denk ik dat het gevecht eerder voorbij zou zijn geweest. Ik probeerde echt te werken aan waar we ons in het kamp op hadden gefocust, maar ik presteerde gewoon niet goed aan het begin van het gevecht.
De strijd werd gekenmerkt door spannende uitwisselingen, met Commey, vechtend op de zijne 31st verjaardag, vroeg beter worden en verbinding maken met krachtige stoten waardoor Luna's kaak opzwol. De kracht van Commey brak door in ronde zes toen een krachtige combinatie, onderbroken door een linker uppercut, Luna voor het eerst in zijn carrière naar het canvas stuurde.
“Ik ben erg teleurgesteld,zei Luna. “Alle eer aan Commey, maar ik verwacht meer van mezelf en ik ga weer naar de sportschool en kom veel sterker en beter terug.”
Luna stond op, maar werd snel aangevallen door Commey, die landde 62 procent van zijn kracht slaat in de ronde, en werd opnieuw naar de mat gestuurd. Dit dwong scheidsrechter David Fields om het gevecht stop te zetten 1:54 van ronde zes. Commey wordt nu de verplichte uitdager voor IBF lichtgewicht wereldkampioen Robert Easter, van wie Commey in september een split beslissing verloor 2016.
“Het is het grootste gevoel om de overwinning op mijn 31e verjaardag te behalen,zei Komey. “Ik kijk ernaar uit om te vechten voor de wereldtitel van 135 pond en kampioen te worden.”
Het SHO EXTREME-swinggevecht bood een ongeslagen vooruitzicht Brandon Figueroa (15-0, 10 KO) het scoren van een zevende ronde knock-out van Mexico Giovanni Delgado (16-6, 9 KO) in hun superbantamgewicht-clash.
Figueroa, de broer van voormalig kampioen Omar, bleef de agressieve stijl tonen die zijn vroege carrière definieerde, terwijl hij een verbazingwekkende gooide 178 stoten in de derde ronde. Dat aantal was goed voor het op één na hoogste aantal dat ooit in één ronde werd gegooid door een jager in een superbantamgewichtgevecht, volgens CompuBox.
De 21-jarige Figueroa bleef de druk opvoeren, Delgado mishandelen totdat scheidsrechter Gregorio Alvarez het gevecht stopte 1:55van de zevende ronde.

DEADWOOD, S.D. (Maart 9, 2018) – Undefeated 140-pound contender Regis Prograis scored a sensational second-round knockout over former unified world champion Julius Indongo to capture the Interim WBC Super Lightweight title Vrijdag night on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION from Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, S.D.
Met de overwinning, PROGRAMMA'S (21-0, 18 KO) will now likely face the winner of next week’s Amir Imam (gerangschikt No. 1 WBC) and Jose Ramirez (gerangschikt No. 3 WBC) matchup for the currently vacant WBC world title belt. PROGRAMMA'S, van Houston bij wijze van New Orleans, was dominant from the opening bell and has now scored knockouts in 14 van zijn laatste 15 gevechten.
“I had to put on a show for SHOWTIME, for Deadwood, and for all my fans in Houston and New Orleans and just the whole division,"Zei Prograis. “I had to put on a show for everybody. I am now the man at 140.”
In the final seconds of the opening round, Prograis landed a fierce jab that knocked Indongo (22-2, 11 KO) to the canvas. In de tweede ronde, Prograis continued to attack the much taller Indongo, and floored him for the second time with a huge left hand. With a wobbly Indongo returning to his feet, Prograis continued the onslaught and immediately attacked his prone opponent and knocked him down for a third time in the fight. Referee Ian John-Lewis gave Indongo one more opportunity to remain in the fight, but Prograis ended it once and for all with a third knockdown in the round via a left hook and fourth in the fight at 2:54 of round number two.
Following the knockout, SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood spoke to the rising star in the wide-open and competitive 140-pound division. Farhood was especially impressed with Prograis, who was making his fifth SHOWTIME appearance.
“It was an awesome performance,” said the International Boxing Hall of Famer and noted boxing historian Farhood. “I was surprised he finished Indongo as quickly as he did and as emphatically as he did.
“I think now boxing fans know that this guy deserves to be rated among the top three or four in the 140-pound division. Because it was a such an emphatic win, all the other fights at 140, whether it’s morgen fight between Mikey Garcia and Lipinets, you got to feel like they have to answer to Regis. He deserves it.”
The WBC No. 2 ranked fighter at 140 pounds immediately turned his attention to a possible matchup with the winner of next week’s Imam-Ramirez matchup.
“I want the real title now, and I don’t think those two dudes will fight me after tonight,"Zei Prograis. “Indongo only had one loss to Terrence Crawford, the pound for pound best, and I stopped him a round before Crawford did. I don’t see anybody trying to fight me right now.”
In an IBF Junior Welterweight eliminator, Ivan Baranchyk (17-0, 11 KO) thrilled fans at The Deadwood Mountain Grand with his all-action style, stoppen Petr Petrov (38-6-2, 18 KO) bij 1:12 of round number eight.
Baranchyk, making his sixth appearance on SHOWTIME, was the much stronger, more aggressive fighter than his game but ultimately overmatched opponent, who showed commendable toughness and resiliency to stay in the fight. Baranchyk knocked Petrov to the canvas with the very first punch of the fight, and scored a second knockdown in the second round with a barrage of powerful punches.
With a bruised and battered Petrov trapped against the ropes in the eighth round, referee Mark Nelson stopped the fight. Met de overwinning, Baranchyk moves a step closer to becoming the mandatory challenger for the winner of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event on Saturday night between 140-pound IBF world titlist Sergey Lipinets and lightweight titleholder Mikey Garcia.
Baranchyk, who out-landed Petrov 159-118 in total punches and 94-76 in power punches, was pleased with the improvements he showcased tonight.
“I thought I fought a more controlled than in the past and something my new coach has been helping me with,” said Baranchyk, who is currently ranked No. 4 in the IBF 140-pound division. “I knew I had to keep punching to the body, punching to the body. And I did that well tonight.
“I was surprised they stopped the fight when they did. I felt like I won every round and controlled the fight. I knew I won the fight. It was a good fight for me.”
In de opening aanval van de uitzending, zwaargewicht vooruitzicht Junior Fa (14-0, 8 KO), van Auckland, Nieuw Zeeland, kept his unbeaten record intact with a majority decision victory over Detroit’s Craig Lewis (14-2-1, 8 KO). The judges scored the eight-round fight 76-76, 78-74, 79-73.
Fa, who twice beat fellow New Zealand native and current WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker in the amateurs, was the more active fighter against the 33-year-old former collegiate basketball player Lewis, who took the fight on just two weeks’ notice. Fa started the fight quickly, throwing a fight-high 53 punches in round one and a 24-13 lead in overall connects in the first two rounds. As the fight wore on, Fa’s pace slowed and Lewis was able to grow into the fight, out-landing Fa 50-45 in rounds five through eight, to close the overall gap to 82-81 in favor of Fa.
Fa, who made his SHOWTIME debut in November with a first-round knockout of Freddy Latham, was unhappy with his performance despite the win.
“I’m happy I was able to get the decision, but I wasn’t happy with my performance at all,” said Fa. “If I had to give myself a grade, it would be an F. I fought with too much emotion the first few rounds and that threw me off a little bit.
“I was pretty surprised with the one judge who saw it even. I saw him getting tired but I was just flat tonight. I can learn a lot from this fight and where I went wrong and what not to do in my next fight.”
Lewis felt that taking the fight on short notice played a role in the outcome.
“I needed a little more time to train as my conditioning fell off a bit towards the end,” said the former National Golden Gloves gold medalist Lewis. “But overall, I was happy with my performance, I thought it was probably a draw.”
In niet-televisie undercard actie, undefeated heavyweight prospect Trey Lippe Morrison (14-0, 14 KO), the son of former heavyweight world champion Tommy Morrison, gestopt Oswaldo Ortega (3-8, 1 KO) with a third-round (1:18) technical knockout in his first fight in 15 maanden since suffering a hand injury.
Ongeslagen 2016 United States Olympian Charles Conwell (7-0, 5 KO) earned a unanimous decision victory over Mexico’s Juan Jesus Rivera (28-20, 18 KO). The six-round junior middleweight bout was scored 60-53 on all three judges’ scorecards.
Vrijdag tripleheader will replay on Saturday, Maart 10, bij 5:30 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® en Showtime ANYTIME®.
Barry Tompkins called the action from ringside with Farhood and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. De uitvoerend producent was Gordon Hall. Richard Gaughan produceerde en Rick Phillips regisseerde.

ERISLANDY LARA AND JARRETT HURD TO CLASH IN 154-POUND TITLE UNIFICATION LIVE ON SHOWTIME ONSATURDAY, April 7 FROM THE HARD ROCK HOTEL & CASINO IN LAS VEGAS
Caleb Truax and James DeGale To Battle in a 168-Pound World Title Rematch in the Co-Main Event of the
Premier Boxing Champions-evenement
Tickets te koop Vrijdag, Maart 16
LAS VEGAS (Maart 9, 2018) – Erislandy Lara, the longest reigning world champion at 154-pounds, will clash with IBF champion “Gierzwaluw” Jarrett Hurd in a highly-anticipated super welterweight title unification live on SHOWTIME (10 pm ET/7 pm PT) as part of an exciting card presented by Premier Boxing Champions Saturday, April 7 from The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
In de co-main event, Super middengewicht wereldkampioen Caleb Truax will make the first defense of his IBF title against James DeGale in a rematch of one of the biggest upsets of 2017 that saw Truax wrestle the belt from DeGale on his home turf in London last December.
Tickets for the show, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Mayweather Promotions, zal gaan over de verkoop Vrijdag, Maart 16 and be available by visiting AXS.com or the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas Box Office.
“This is an action-packed card from top to bottom. The televised card features boxers who all have something significant to gain with a victory,” zei Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “The winner of Lara-Hurd will be one step closer to becoming the undisputed 154-pound world champion. In a rematch, Truax gets to re-affirm his position as champion and DeGale has a chance to regain his world championship status. This is the kind of show that keeps fans on the edge of their seats.”
“We take pride in promoting quality events that our audiences always want to see,” aldus Leonard Ellerbe, CEO van Mayweather Promotions. “This card is going to be another line-up that the fans won’t want to miss. With Lara and Hurd looking to unify their titles and guys going head-to-head in rematches on the undercard, this is sure to be a night of non-stop action.
Lara vs. Hurd is a classic contrast in styles that could force each fighter to raise their game to another level. Lara is a crafty southpaw who relies on his superior boxing skills to confound opponents, while Hurd is a pure pressure boxer-puncher that stalks his opponents and isn’t easily frustrated.
Lara, a Cuban whose nickname is “The American Dream”, is coming off a unanimous decision victory on SHOWTIME over Terrell Gausha in October. Hurd was on the same card and defeated former champion Austin Trout when Trout’s corner stopped the fight in the 10th ronde. That paved the way for this unification showdown.
The 34-year-old Lara (25-2-2, 14 KO), who lives and trains in Houston, Texas, won his world title with a TKO victory over Alfredo Angulo in 2013 and has successfully defended it seven times, which includes wins over Trout, Ishe Smith en Vanes Martirosyan.
“I’m very excited and motivated for this fight and to once again be headlining on the best network in boxing on SHOWTIME, is truly a pleasure,” Said Lara. “I look forward to adding another belt to my collection on April 7 and to proving that I’m the best 154-pound fighter out there. Everyone tune-in because you don’t want to miss this unification. It’s going to be a legendary night and one for the history books.”
The undefeated Hurd (21-0, 15 KO) is coming off a career-defining TKO victory over the former champion Trout in his last fight on Oktober. 14. It was the first defense of the title for the 27-year Hurd of Accokeek, Maryland, who won the championship with a TKO victory over Tony Harrison on Feb. 25, 2017.
“I plan on being the aggressor for the entire fight, so I’ve been doing some exercises and working on techniques to improve my foot work so that I can stay on top of Erislandy Lara,” Said Hurd. “We are not trying to go to the scorecards, so hopefully, I can be the first man to stop him, which I hope to do in the later rounds.
“I called him out, en nu, it has come to pass that I get to become a unified champion against the man everyone considers to be the best and most feared in the division, and that’s Erislandy Lara.”
They call 34-year-old Truax “Gouden”, and he punched his ticket to world title gold while on a trip to London in December, when he defeated DeGale by majority decision. Truax (29-3-2, 18 KO) of Osseo, Minnesota was on a two-fight win streak heading into the match against DeGale. Before that his only losses came against former champions Anthony Dirrell, Daniel Jacobs and Jermain Taylor.
“They made the right call on the decision in England, and I expect to be even more dominant this time around,” Truax said. “I am planning to really just beat up James Gale and get the job done in more efficient fashion this time.’
“Fighting in Las Vegas for the first time will be a very cool experience and I expect it to be friendlier than it was in London. There is a lot of pride on the line for me, being that I’m the first boxing world champion from Minnesota in a long time. So there is a lot on the line for me and I plan to keep that going, especially as a means for supporting my family.”
The 32-year-old DeGale (23-2-1, 14 KO) was the first British boxer to win a Gold Medal in the Olympics (2008 Beijing Games) and a world championship as a professional. He won his world title with a unanimous decision over Andre Dirrell in 2015 and made two successful defenses before fighting to a draw against Badou Jack on Jan. 14, 2017. It was a brutal standoff between two world champions, but neither man had his hand raised in victory. DeGale, who was coming off of an injury, had his home town crowd behind him but couldn’t deliver a win as Truax scored a stunning upset with the majority decision victory.
‘I’m happy to have the opportunity to rematch Truax and regain my IBF title,” said DeGale. “I am not going to make excuses for my poor performance, actions speak louder than words. I am excited to be boxing in Vegas and on SHOWTIME again. The real JD will be back on fight night!”
