Pay-Per-View fra T-Mobile Arena i Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS – august 25, 2023 -Tre matchups med stigende stjerner, topudfordrer og tidligere verdensmestre fra 147 til 160 pund vil fremhæve et robust pay-per-view undercard, der fører op tilCanelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charloubestridt supermellemvægtsmesterskabskamp lørdag, September 30 live på SHOWTIME PPV fra T-Mobile Arena i Las Vegas. Canelo Promotions vil præsentere Premier Boxing Champions Pay-Per-View.

I co-main event, ubesejret sensationJesus "Mono" Ramos Jr.,vil tage imod hårdtslående topkandidatErickson "Hammer" Lubini en 12-rund superweltervægt specialattraktion. Pay-per-view inkluderer også tidligere verdensmestreYordenis UgásogMario "El Azteca" Barriosgår tå til tå for den midlertidige WBC weltervægtstitel. Åbning af aktionen kl 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT er stigende mellemvægtereElias GarciaogArmando Reséndiz afsted i en 10-rund attraktion.

Billetter til live event, som promoveres af Canelo Promotions og TGB Promotions, er tilgængelige via AXS.com.

"Disse tre matchups leverer alt, hvad boksefans kunne håbe på i et pay-per-view undercard og er værdige til det historiske hovedbegivenhedsopgør, de vil føre op til,sagde Tom Brown, Formand for TGB Promotions. "Hver fighter, der træder ind i ringen, har en mulighed for at katapultere sig selv til toppen af ​​deres respektive division med en sejr i september 30. Fans kan forvente at se alle disse konkurrenter give alt, hvad de har, for at komme sejrrigt ud på SHOWTIME PPV på T-Mobile Arena i Las Vegas."

En stærk sydpote, der kl 22 har endnu ikke været tæt på at ramme sit loft som fighter, Ramos (20-0, 16 KOS) lynede dengang ubesejrede Joey Spencer i marts, droppede ham i runde et, før han stoppede ham i runde syv for at tjene TKO i hans sensationelle 2023 debut på underkortet af David Benavidez vs. Caleb Plant på SHOWTIME PPV. En indfødt af Casa Grande, Ariz., Ramos ejer også back-to-back 10-runder enstemmige beslutninger over Brian Mendoza og Javier Molina i 2021, som han fulgte op med at besejre Luke Santamaria og Vladimir Hernandez i 2022. Samlet, den ungdommelige Ramos har opnået anerkendelse med highlight-reel KO'er, stopper syv af hans sidste 10 modstandere, viser sine evner og evner til at afslutte sine kampe tidligt.

“Jeg er spændt på at være en del af dette enorme kort mod en hård modstander den 30. september,” sagde Ramos. "Jeg ved, at Lubin træner hårdt og kommer for at vinde, hvilket vil give en underholdende kamp. Hele dette kort er stablet, og vi ønsker ikke at skuffe, så fansene er klar til en fantastisk aften med boksning.”

Den 27-årige Lubin (25-2, 18 KOS) vendte tilbage til ringen i juni for at levere et imponerende stop i femte runde af veteranen Luis Arias, som aldrig tidligere var blevet stoppet. Lubins tidligere udspil så ham gå tå-til-tå i en af ​​2022s bedste kampe, da han byttede knockdowns med medspiller Sebastian Fundora på SHOWTIME i april 2022. På vej ind i Fundora-kampen, Lubin havde sammensat en imponerende sejrsrække på seks kampe siden et tab til dengang forenede og nu ubestridte 154-pund-mester Jermell Charlo i 2017, et løb, der inkluderede triumfer over Jeison Rosario, Terrell Gausha og Ishe Smith. En indfødt i Orlando, Fla., Lubin blev pro kl 18 år gammel i 2013 og blev en af ​​de yngste udsigter, der nogensinde har optrådt i udviklingsserienSHOBOX: Den nye generation®,optjente "Prospect Of The Year" hæder fra ESPN og Ring Magazine i 2016.

"Jeg ved, at verden vil se med i september 30 og jeg planlægger at vinde i stor stil,sagde Lubin. »Vi har en ung og talentfuld fighter foran os, men jeg er også ung og talentfuld. Forskellen er, at jeg har bekæmpet cremen af ​​grøden af ​​154-pund divisionen. Det er lige meget, om det er Olympians, topudsigter, kandidater eller mestre, Jeg har taget dem på. Jeg har en stor chip på min skulder, og det ved jeg med denne sejr, Jeg skal i en mega kamp. Jeg træner ekstremt hårdt, og hele verden vil se det betale sig."

Ugas (27-5, 12 KOS) vil træde tilbage i aktion i september 30 for første gang siden april 2022 foreningskampen nederlag til Errol Spence Jr. på SHOWTIME PPV. Han etablerede sig som en elite-weltervægter efter at være vendt tilbage fra en mere end to-årig pause i 2016 efter back-to-back tab i 2014. Han fik sin billet som verdensmester i januar 2021 efter at have vundet et WBA-bælte ved at besejre Abel Ramos i september 2020. Han styrkede sin verdensmesterskabsstatus i august 2021, da han trådte ind for en skadet Spence for at besejre den legendariske fremtidige Hall of Famer Manny Pacquiao ved enstemmig beslutning. Kommer fra Santiago, Cuba og bor nu i Miami, Florida, den olympiske bronzevinder træner i Las Vegas med den berømte træner Ismael Salas og ejer sejre over den daværende ubesejrede kæmper Jamal James, Omar Figueroa Jr. og Bryant Perrella, plus veteranudfordrerne Thomas Dulorme og Ray Robinson.

"Både mig og Mario Barrios har meget at vinde med en sejr i september 30, så jeg ved, at denne kamp bliver en at huske,sagde Ugas. "Jeg har enorm respekt for Barrios. Han er en sand kriger, der har været i ringen med de bedste af dem, men jeg har tillid til, at jeg vinder. Jeg har en masse kamp tilbage i mig, og mine bedste evner vil blive vist i denne kamp. Fædreland og Liv, Jeg kæmper for mit folk."

Den 28-årige Barrios (27-2, 18 KOS) scorede senest et sensationelt knockout af Jovanie Santiago i februar og stoppede Santiago i ottende runde. Barrios' forrige kamp var hans debut i weltervægt, da han droppede en hårdt tilkæmpet beslutning til den tidligere unified mester Keith Thurman i februar 2022. San Antonio-produktet, som nu træner med toptræner Bob Santos i Las Vegas, blev verdensmester på 140 pund i september 2019, ved at bruge sin aggressive stil til at slå Batyr Akhmedov ud og opnå en enstemmig beslutning. Barrios mistede superletvægtstitlen i endnu en actionfyldt, meget konkurrencepræget kamp, da han blev besejret af tredivisions- og femdobbelt verdensmester Gervonta Davis i juni 2021.

"Denne kamp bliver en krig, fordi vi begge kæmper med en masse hjerte og ingen af ​​os viger nogensinde,sagde Barrios. "Jeg kan ikke vente med at konkurrere i en kamp som denne på et af årets største kort. Dette bliver en fantastisk aften med boksning fra start til slut, og de mexicanske fans kan forvente at se en eksplosiv præstation fra 'El Azteca'!"

Kæmper ud af Phoenix, Arizona, Garcia (15-0, 12 KOS) er en af ​​2023's største breakout-stjerner. Han bragede ind på scenen i marts ved at sprænge den tidligere ubesejrede Amilcar Vidal ud i fjerde runde for at annoncere sin tilstedeværelse på 160 pund. Den 20-årige fulgte op på denne præstation ved at dominere veteranen Kevin Salgado på vej til en enstemmig beslutning i april om SHOWTIME PPV-underkortet af Gervonta Davis vs.. Ryan Garcia. Den tidlige Garcia har bevæget sig hurtigt, siden han blev professionel 2020 og har slået seks af sine sidste otte modstandere ud.

"Dette er min anden kamp i år på et stort pay-per-view-kort, og jeg er super spændt og endnu mere forberedt end første gang,”Sagde Garcia. “Reséndiz er en sulten fighter ligesom jeg selv, så jeg er ikke i tvivl om, at vi kommer til at lave et fandens show for alle de fans, der ser.”

Den 24-årige Reséndiz(14-1, 10 KOS) opnåede en karriere-bedste sejr i sit sidste udspil, da han stoppede den tidligere forenede mester Jarrett Hurd i 10th og sidste runde af deres marts-opgør på SHOWTIME. Reséndiz førte på alle tre kort, da kampen blev stoppet på grund af en alvorlig flænge på Hurds læbe. En indfødt i Nayarit, Mexico, han kæmper nu ud af Los Angeles og vil se efter at vinde tre i træk siden et tæt beslutningstab til Marcos Hernandez i september 2021. Reséndiz blev professionel i februar 2018 og lavede et succesfuldt U.S. debut i april 2021 med en afgørelsessejr over Quilisto Wood.

"Jeg er meget glad for at have denne fantastiske mulighed for at konkurrere på et så vigtigt kampkort,” sagde Reséndiz. "Jeg er spændt på at realisere min drøm om at kæmpe i Las Vegas, ligesom mine bokseidoler, som jeg så på tv. Jeg har haft en fantastisk træningslejr, der vil hjælpe mig til at se bedst ud i september 30 og levere en præstation, der er værdig til de bokselegender, der inspirerer mig."

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® fjersynsudsendelse begynder ved 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and will see undefeated rising star and Capitol Heights, Maryland-nativeGary Antuanne Russelltage på kolleger ubesejretKent Cruzin the 10-round super lightweight co-main event, plus sensational top prospect and Landover, Maryland-nativeTravon Marshallduels unbeaten two-time OlympianGabriel Maestrein the 10-round welterweight telecast opener.

Billetter til live event, som fremmes af TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased throughwww.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,sagde Tom Brown, Formand for TGB Promotions. “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, Rodríguez(21-2, 13 KOS) 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 KOS) 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 sejre, 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,"Sagde Lopez. “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 KOS) 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 Sommer-OL. 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 KOS) 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, Mo., 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, Marshall (8-0, 7 KOS) 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 KOS) 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. Senest, 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.”

SUBRIEL MATIAS CAPTURES VACANT IBF 140-POUND WORLD TITLE WITH FIFTH-ROUND TKO OF JEREMIAS PONCE IN HIGH-OCTANE SHOWTIME® MAIN EVENT SATURDAY NIGHT FROM THE ARMORY IN MINNEAPOLIS

Minneapolis-Native Jamal James and Super Lightweight Contender Elvis Rodriguez Score Victories in Televised Undercard of Premier Boxing Champions Event

MINNEAPOLIS – February 26, 2023 -Power-punchingSubriel Matiasshowed why he’s become one of boxing’s most vaunted knockout artists as he stopped the previously unbeatenJeremias Ponceafter five rounds to win the vacant IBF 140-pound World Championship Saturday night live on SHOWTIME from The Armory in Minneapolis headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Puerto Rico’s Matias (19-1, 19 KOS) captured the title in an electric firefight that saw the two top-ranked 140-pounders throw over 800 combined punches in five rounds according to CompuBox. For Matias, the victory culminated a long journey that had him away from his family for nearly a year as he trained in Mexico for his first title opportunity.

“I’m on cloud nine right now,” said Matias. “I don’t think I’ve woken up from this dream. Maybe I can tell you how it feels tomorrow, men lige nu, it’s a dream come true. I wanted to work him from the first round on, because I knew he wouldn’t have the same power as me as the fight went on.”

Ponce (30-1, 20 KOS) came out extremely aggressive and looked to swarm Matias early as he threw 96 punches in round one, out landing Matias 28 til 11. Matias adjusted in round two, closing the distance and smothering Ponce to dull some of his attack while also finding spots for his own short power punches.

I thought it was an even fight, but one punch can change everything and that’s what happened,” said Ponce. “Subriel is a tough, strong fighter and I knew what he was capable of.”

After landing a powerful left hand that hurt Ponce late in round four, Matias returned determined and sharp in round five, landing 47% of his power punches over the three minutes. In the waning moments of the round, Matiaslanded the decisive blows, a series of head and body shots that badly hurt Matias and put him on the mat.

Ponce was able to make it to his stool, but his corner had seen enough and suggested that the fight be stopped, with the official result coming as a TKO at the end of round five.

“I’m fine now,” said Ponce. “My team knows me, and they made the decision that they had to make. It hurts, but the most important thing is that I’m healthy.”

“I wasn’t really surprised,” said Matias. “Once I saw how his corner reacted. I saw that [Ponce] was hurt. I thought that I was patient in the first four rounds, so I came out with a different approach and mindset in the fifth.”

Efter kampen, with his IBF belt in tow, Matias set his sights on a unification showdown against WBC 140-pound World Champion Regis Prograis.

“Regis Prograis, I’m coming for you,” said Matias. “I’m the world champion now. I promise that I’m coming to hurt you. Prograis likes to talk the talk, but I have that same mentality. Let’s see who prevails. I want him to see that there are people crazier than him in this sport.”

I co-main event, Minneapolis-native and welterweight contenderJamal “Shango” James(28-2, 12 KOS) returned from a 16-month layoff to thrill a sold-out hometown crowd and earn a unanimous decision victory after 10-rounds against Argentine OlympianAlberto Palmetta(18-2, 13 KOS).

“I’m pretty sure everybody can see that layoff affected me,” said James. “I had a lot of rust in me. My legs weren’t sharp, my punches weren’t sharp, but I’m glad I was able to get in there. I liked that because it’s pushing me mentally and it made me step up to the occasion.”

“I thought it was an even fight,” said Palmetta. “I was the aggressor throughout against a former world champion, a taller opponent with longer reach than me.”

In his first action since losing his WBA Welterweight Title to Radzhab Butaev in October 2021, James picked up his fifth career victory at the friendly confines of The Armory. Using his considerable height and reach advantage, James was able to control much of the action and contest the bout on his terms.

“I was trying to adapt,” said James. “I definitely felt like I won the fight but I believe I could’ve done much better. I know that I’m a lot sharper. I know that my endurance is a lot stronger. I just had a lot of time off and my body is still getting back in shape. I’ll be back for sure.”

“I also like to counter, but I ratcheted up the pressure in the second half of the fight,” said Palmetta. “Maybe it looked like Jamal James was superior in the first half because he kept being conservative and countering.”

Palmetta had success countering James but was unable to put together enough combinations or hurt James during the action. James’ edge was reflected on the scorecards, as he out landed Palmetta 193 til 111, herunder en 153 til 102 edge in power punches.

James was also able to use a sharp body attack to keep Palmetta at bay, landing 68 throughout the fight, sammenlignet med blot 20 from Palmetta. In round nine, a sharp right uppercut caused Palmetta to stumble and let to a raucous exchange that stirred James’ hometown fans.

The crowd again rose to their feet as James and Palmetta whipped power punches throughout the final moments of round 10. James kept his perfect record at The Armory intact by wide scores of 99-91 og 98-92 to gange.

“I know I can be a champion again because I was a champion before,” said James. “I have to stay focused. Stay in the gym and back and study this fight – actually, my last two fights – and step it up. Thanks to everybody in Minneapolis for coming and showing me love.”

I fjersynsudsendelse åbneren, super lightweight contenderElvis Rodriguez(14-1-1,12 KOS) overcame a slow start to earn a hard-fought majority decision over the hard-hittingJoseph Adorno(17-2-2, 14 KOS) efter 10 runder.

“Ring rust was definitely a factor,” said Rodriguez. “Maybe the struggle was more mental than physical in a way, but the important thing is that I overcame it.”

After a couple of rounds feeling each other out, Adorno was the first to have success, showing a varied attack with hooks to the body and head. He punctuated a strong fourth round with several counter hooks right before the closing bell.

In round five the action began to heat up, with Rodriguez starting to find a home for his offense as well, while still taking consistent return fire from Adorno. Rodriguez would eventually take control of the fight in the seventh roundlanding a perfect right hook that badly hurt Adorno. Rodriguez followed up quickly and forced Adorno to the canvas to score the knockdown, although Adorno was able to stay in the fight and make it through the round.

“I thought I had him once I landed that right hook, but he got up,” said Rodriguez. “He’s a warrior and a good fighter… The seventh round was huge, that’s when I truly started to win this fight. I have to give credit to Adorno for being savvy and knowing how to keep his distance before then.”

Rodriguez rode that momentum through the rest of the fight, out landing Adorno 52 til 33 across rounds seven through 10. The Freddie Roach-trained contender punctuated his victory in the final frame, landing a left that referee Jon Schorle ruled a knockdown, despite the objection from Adorno, who felt he was tripped during the exchange.

After the 10rounds Rodriguez emerged victorious on the judges’ cards, as one score of 94-94 was overruled by tallies of 95-93 og 97-91. Post-fight, Adorno expressed his belief that his early success was enough for him to earn a better result, while Rodriguez set his sights on the new 140-pound champion Matias.

I thought the judges were blind,” said Adorno. “I can’t get a win with these judges. I don’t know how you see the fight 97-91. I thought I won every round except the ones he dropped me. He never out worked me at all. I had the jab in his face and was snapping him to the body. He couldn’t do anything. No way he won seven rounds. I thought 94-94 was okay because of the two knockdowns.

“Like I said yesterday at the weigh-in, bring on the winner of the main event,” said Rodriguez. “And to my people in the Dominican Republic, just know that I’ll be back even bolder and even better next time.”

BELLATOR MMA 291 MAIN CARD RESULTS:

  (C) Yaroslav Amosov(27-0) besejret #1-Logan Storley(14-1) via enstemmig afgørelse (50-45, 50-45, 50-45)

Amosov quotes:“I feel very good because I waited for this for a long time. I train hard training, and I feel a lot of motivation and responsibility. Nu, Jeg slap af. I’ll relax after the fight, and I’m happy because I think I gave my country a good day. It’s the first time I’ve had big support in the cage. In America, I’ve had support, but not like today. Many Ukrainian flags, many Ukrainian people. My uncle, mine venner; I see many people. It was a big support, and it gave me very good energy.”

On His Message to the People of Ukraine: “Thank you for my country, thank you for my army and the fans. It was for my country. Today I think it is a very good day for my country. To hold two gold belts.”

On If He’s the Best Welterweight on the Planet: “I think yes, [that was my best performance]. Selvfølgelig [I think I’m the best welterweight in the world]. I am here. If a UFC champion wants to fight, come to BELLATOR. Scott Coker will give the contract, and we’ll make the fight.”

On His First Match with Logan Storley: “Before this fight, I said this fight was different. I have many kilograms that I cut for my first match with Logan [Storley]. Now I had a very good camp and recovery as well as different training. Every day I train hard and become better. I have the best team with me. Han er [Logan Storley] a very good fighter, and I knew this. All people who enter the cage are strong, so if you go in the cage, you’re a high-level fighter. It’s not a surprise to me, men jeg er klar [for everything]."

On Training with BELLATOR Middleweight World Champion Johnny Eblen: “He’s my friend [Johnny Eblen]. I train with him every time, he’s very high level. He’s a very good fighter and a real champion. Når vi sparre, many people watch and I think it’s beautiful.”

#5-Jeremy Kennedy(19-3) besejret #3-Pedro Carvalho(13-7) via enstemmig afgørelse (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Kennedy quotes“I’m happy with the win, regardless. I would’ve liked to get the finish, but there’s a lot of circumstances whenever you travel across the world. I’m just ready for the next one. It was my rehydration, Jeg tror. I made mistakes on the rehydration. I was really dryI wasn’t sweating, but I felt exhausted there; my gas tank’s [normalt] much better than that. He had a tight squeeze right at the beginning but he jumped for it too early but I think I am the best grappler in the division. He had a little bit of a squeeze but it ultimately got me the takedown. I wanted to really hurt him with some hands, but he’s a pressure fighter. I thought I could sit him down, but as soon as I got ahold of him, Jeg var ligesom, ‘This is my path to victory.’”

On Fighting for the Title Next: “I believe so, I don’t know who else is there for me to fight. Three wins in a row. Sanchez, Pico, and Carvalho and they have all been dominant victories.. I’ve been all around the world; it’s a cool way to see the world. In a perfect world, I get to fight somewhere in the United States, but I’d fight ‘Pitbull’ in a WalMart. I’m coming. I’ve been on his heels the whole time. When I was fighting Borics and I was fighting Pico, Jeg var ligesom: I can’t wait to get the opportunity to fight him. Now there’s talk of him going down to 135; he’s probably calling his nutritionist right now because he doesn’t want this fight. Lad os gøre det. We can go ASAP. I’ll fight him in any corner of the world, in any timeframe.”

Bryce Logan(12-8) besejret #10-Peter Queally(12-8) via TKO (punches) på 2:32 af runde to

#3-Sinead Kavanagh(9-5) besejretJanay Harding(6-7) via enstemmig afgørelse (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Kavanagh quotes“I feel good. It feels good to get back in there. It was a nice win. I went and put on a show, and that’s all I needed to do. I kept in one piece; I can go again soon, som er stor. I put on a clinic. I knew she was a striker, so I showed in there what I’ve done for the last 12 uger. All is good.”

On a Potential Rematch with Cris Cyborg: “That’s two great wins, and I put on a show both times. Jeg er klar. Jeg ønsker [Cris] ‘Cyborg’ in Dublin. That’s what I want. Fight the best in Ireland, Sinead Kavanagh. I’ve been well-prepared for Cris ‘Cyborg.’ I won’t rush into things. Jeg vil være klar."

“I got a good 15 minutter [i] der. Good strikes. My power was there. I do want ‘Cyborg’ here. I want her in Dublin. But that’s in September, that’s too long. I want another one and then ‘Cyborg.’”

On Rectifying the Outcome from First Harding Fight: “It feels good; I got me win back. It’ll be on my record forever. I did win, and I am better.”

Ciaran Clarke(7-0) besejretLeonardos Sinis(11-6-1) via enstemmig afgørelse (30-26, 30-26, 30-26)

Clarke quotes: "It was a clean performance. I obviously would’ve liked the finish. [Opponent Leonardos Sinis has] fought at welterweight and lightweight before; he’s a big lad.”

On his Opponent’s Size Advantage, Weight Miss: “I thought he was a good actor. Se, I didn’t think that mattered at all because I knew I was giving up a few kilos anyways. It was a catchweight and he missed weight. I knew he was coming big.”

On What He Wants Next: “Two Dublin shows every year. Get better for the next one, end of June, Juli. Those decisions, all of my decisions, I had 10-8 runder. 7-0. I think that’s right up there with the win streaks in the company. It’s a bit gray with BELLATOR; the rankings are solid, then it’s gray underneath that. People are mentioning the rankings — I’m trying to gradually get to that point. If they offer it, I’ll accept it because that’s just who I am, but as long as it makes sense and its progression. I’m here in BELLATOR; whatever they say I’m worthy of.”

On a Potential Matchup with Khasan Magomedsharipov: “I think we match up well and like said I will fight anyone. They’re all getting behind me: the whole town, the whole country, jeg føler. They’re bringing buses up. I really feel like a winner already. I’ve brought the whole town here. People talk. That buzz in the town, everyone gets behind me. It’s unreal.”

VERONA, N.Y.. – June 10, 2022 - Undefeated heavyweight knockout artistBakhodir Jalolovtook his time on Friday night, but ultimately closed the show in dramatic fashion with an eighth-round knockout overJack Mulowayii de vigtigste tilfælde af enSHOBOX: Den nye generationtelecast at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y.. that helped kick off the International Boxing Hall of Fame Induction Weekend in nearby Canastota, N.Y..

Known as “Big Uzbek”, the 6-foot-7 Jalolov, a two-time Olympian and 2020 Gold Medalist from Uzbekistan, improved to a perfect 11-0 med 11 KOs when he landed a huge left hand that sent Mulowayi (11-3-1, 7 KOS) flat on his back in the eighth and final round.

“I’m feeling really good about the performance,” said the 27-year-old Jalolov. “The opponent was at a really good level and a great fighter. He was a really tough, durable guy. I landed some big shots on him and he can take a punch.”

In front of a who’s who of boxing royalty including the likes of Andre Ward, Shane Mosley, Antonio Tarver and Terence Crawford, Jalolov put an exclamation mark on an exciting night of boxing during an historic weekend of Hall of Fame inductions which will include the last three classes of inductees during Sunday’s ceremony.

Jalolov was dominant throughout the entire fight, with the only question being whether or not he would continue his knockout streak. It looked likely in both the third and fifth rounds, as Jalolov wobbled Mulowayi but the game Belgium showed heart in making it out of both rounds unscathed. In the sixth round, Mulowayi was dropped for just the second time in his career by a left cross as the bell sounded. He rose to his feet and beat the count, but was knocked down for good with yet another signature left hand at 1:20 af den sidste runde.

“I thought I was going to stop him at the end of the sixth round when I dropped him, but the referee let him continue and the round was over,” said Jalolov, who was deducted a point for holding in the fourth round. “I thought that was the time. But I had to wait until the final round. I’m happy that I got the stoppage. I feel like I hurt him three or four times.”

Jalolov went past the fifth round for the first time in his career, landing 47 percent of his power punches and out-landing Mulowayi 99-17 in total punches.

I co-main event, undefeated Dominican heavyweight prospectGeorge Arias(18-0, 7 KOS) won a tactical duel over previously unbeatenAlante Green(10-1-1, 7 KOS) via split-decision with scores of 78-74, 77-75 in favor of Arias and 77-75 for Green.

“I definitely learned more than anything from this fight so I give my performance a C-plus or a B-minus because this is the type of fight that makes me go back to the gym hungrier and knowing there’s a lot more to do,” said Arias, who now lives and trains out of the Bronx. “But we were blessed this time because should he have been a little bit stronger, things could have been more disastrous.”

Arias jumped out to a commanding lead in the first half of the fight, executing the game plan by outboxing Green and landing the cleaner, harder punches. Cleveland’s Green grew into the fight in the later rounds, but it was too little too late and Arias was able to do enough to hold off the late rally.

It was a difficult fight to score, as all three judges agreed on just two out of the eight rounds but the punch stats backed up the judges’ decision as Arias out-landed Green 81-58. Green became the 213th fighter to have his undefeated record spoiled onSHOBOX.

“Everyone who I face always trains for me a thousand percent better,” continued Arias. “He was real complete. He didn’t really necessarily have any weakness that I could exploit. The reaction time he had was really good and he had good inner footwork where it took me a little too long to get into a zone because every strategy I used he seemed to have a good reaction.”

I fjersynsudsendelse åbneren, undefeated lightweight prospectChann Thonson (11-0, 8 KOS) put on a boxing display, bruising, battering and eventually breaking down the previously undefeatedTyler Tomlin (13-1, 9 KOS) en route to a fifth-round TKO. Referee Mark Nelson stopped the action 1:01 i den runde.

“I knew if I stayed in the pocket with him that the shots I was going to give him would put him away,” said Canada’s Thonson, who is trained by former Olympic bronze medalist and light heavyweight contender Chris Johnson. “Surprisingly, he was a little tougher than I thought because when I hit him hard, he wasn’t taking a step back. So eventually I knew that would be his own demise and it was just a matter of time.”

Thonson, who was fighting for the fourth time in 2022, controlled the tempo and distance from the opening bell and looked like the more relaxed and experienced fighter. He used his jab and straight right hand to cause both swelling around Tomlin’s left eye and serious cause for concern in Tomlin’s corner. Prior to the start of the third round, Tomlin’s father and trainer Darryl urged his son to pick up the pace.

Men, it was Thonson who stepped on the gas even more. Late in the third round, Thonson landed a barrage of punches that hurt Tomlin and left his face a bloody mess. The sound of the bell temporarily saved Tomlin but his night would come to an end in the fifth round. Unable to avoid the constant punishment that Thonson was dishing out, the action was stopped after the ringside physician assessed Tomlin.

Samlet, Thonson landed 44 percent of his power punches and out-landed Tomlin 102-39 in total punches.

"Jeg har det fint, I feel like I was in the fight. I just got caught with two overhand rights and I’m pretty sure one of them either broke or fractured my nose,” said the 22-year-old Tomlin. “It was in the second or third round when I got caught. I felt and it threw off the game plan as far as what I was trying to do. I got a little more hesitant than I should have. I just can’t get hit by those overhand rights. SHOWTIME, that’s what they do, they put good fighters against good fighters. I felt like I was going to come out on top but we have to go back and watch film and see what comes next.”

LAS VEGAS (Marts 18, 2022) - Unbeaten stigende stjerne Tim Tszyu held a media workout in Las Vegas Thursday as he nears his much anticipated U.S. debut against U.S. Olympian Terrell Gausha taking place Saturday, Marts 26 live on SHOWTIME in a Premier Boxing Champions event from The Armory in Minneapolis.

The son of Hall of Famer Kostya, Tszyu arrived stateside last Saturday from his native Australia to finish training camp in Las Vegas before heading to Minneapolis. After amassing a 20-0 rekord med 15 knockouts, Tszyu looks to move himself one step closer to a title shot with an emphatic victory on March 26.

Billetter til arrangementet, som fremmes af TGB Promotions, No Limit Boxing and Warriors Boxing, are on sale now and can be purchased at the Armory at http://ArmoryMN.com/ og gennem Ticketmaster.

Here is what Tszyu and his trainer, Igor Goloubev, had to say Thursday from Left Right Boxing Gym in Las Vegas:

TIM TSZYU

“We’ve done a few camps here in Las Vegas before so we’re familiar with the terrain out here. It’s not too far to then go to Minneapolis, but it’s a lot warmer here is Las Vegas, so I’m glad I came here first. Adjusting to the time difference was tough at first but I’ve definitely recovered. By the time I arrived in Las Vegas, it was just about sharpening everything up.

“I’m coming to fight and I’m coming to win. I’m not here to ‘tip-tap’. If that means going for the knockout, I’ll go for it right away. I’m not here to out-jab someone and win on the scorecards. From the first second when the fight starts, my objective is to take him out. Every second of every round, I’m going to be in front of my opponent’s face.

“This has been a long time in the making. I’ve been keen on making my debut here ever since I beat Jeff Horn [August 2020]. It’s good to finally be here and I’m quite excited to be on this platform. This is a real opportunity for me.

“My dad hasn’t talked to me too much about what to expect fighting in the U.S. Mostly he just reminds me to stay ready, which I always am. I’m a professional and I’m fighting nonstop. I don’t take rests or honeymoons like some of these other fighters.

“It’s a big deal for me to be in this position headlining on SHOWTIME. You dream of it as a kid, and now for it to actually be happening, it’s unreal. I’m the first Australian who’s had their U.S. debut as a headline act, having not even won a world title yet. It shows that what we’ve done so far is pretty good for the moment. We’re here to make statements.

“This is going to be an interesting fight. I’m quite interested to see what he’s going to bring. Gausha has the tools to win. He’s got great skills and quick hands and a good variety of punches. He does the simple things very well. I like those types of styles. I’ve sparred guys like that in the U.S. and it’s a fun style to fight against.

“I don’t look particularly big or strong, but when I get in the ring, I give off that dominance that says ‘this is my ring. This is what I do and you’re coming onto my stage’. I present that dominance straight away and let everyone know.

Tszyu on the Jermell Charlo vs. Brian Castaño 154-pound title rematch taking place May 14 on SHOWTIME”

“Charlo is a cautious fighter with power in both hands. He wobbled Castaño a few times. Charlo waits to land that perfect shot and that’s why Castano’s output wasn’t too high in that fight. I thought Castaño fought a great fight and out worked him. Charlo didn’t know what to do at times. I think it’s either going to be Castaño by decision or Charlo by knockout in the rematch.

“I’m coming for everyone in the division. I’m coming for the belts. You have to have confidence in yourself. I believe that I defeat either Charlo or Castaño. I wouldn’t be in the sport if I didn’t believe that. I’d take those guys to places they’ve never been and that’s all that matters to me.”

IGOR GOLOUBEV, Tszyu’s Trainer

“Tim is going to make adjustments, like he always does, based off what Gausha brings in the first round. Tim is an absolute pressure fighter. He’s going to be right on top of Gausha from the start. There’s going to be no rest and nowhere for him to go. This is going to be fought on the inside.

“Gausha is a crafty fighter. He’s got a good style from his amateur background and he’s also got strong legs and upper body. We’ve seen footage of him and we know that he can punch, that he’ll move and that he throws lots of jabs. He’s all-around a very good fighter.”
