GH3 Promotions Antoine Douglas ready for big performance on Saturday night

Nutley, NJ (Bulan Maret 3, 2016) – Ini Sabtu malam pada Sands Bethlehem Events Center, tak terkalahkan kelas menengah Antoine Douglas (19-0-1, 13 KO) will face the toughest test of his career when he takes on rugged Avtandil Khurtsidze in the co-feature bout of a SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION®.
This fight is the continuing process of Douglaspromoter GH3 Promotions, which has groomed the Washington, D.C. native from his first professional bout.
Douglas set the model for what GH3 Promotions is all about and that is grass roots developing.
I am so proud of Antoine and the job he has done,”said GH3 Promotions CEO Vito Mielnicki. “When I started this company, I wanted to sign very good fighters with solid amateur backgrounds. Antoine was the someone I coveted and I saw this vision for him and now the fight on Saturday is the perfect next step for him. Ketika dia menang pada hari Sabtu and I feel he will be ready for a big opportunity.
Mielnicki continued, “That’s the blueprint. Develop fighters on my local shows. Fighters like Antoine and now Adam Lopez (15-0, 7 KO) graduated to ShoBox main event status and then to the next level. Kita dulu punya John Thompson (17-2, 6 KO’s fight for a world title, We have high aspirations for O'Shaquie Foster (10-1, 7 KO), Jerry Odom (13-2-1, 12 KO) Ronald Ellis (12-0-1, 10 KO) , Keenan Smith (9-0, 3 KO) dan Hector Frometa (2-0).”
Lopez, stayed undefeated by winning a comfortable unanimous decision over previously Mario Munoz on February 19th in Atlantic City that headlined a ShoBox: The New Generation card..
Odom and Ellis fought to a spirited draw in a Super Middleweight bout. On another televised bout, Foster was dominant in stopping Lavisas Williams. On the non-televised card, Hector Frometa went to 2-0 dengan kemenangan keputusan bulat.
We feel that Lopez needs another fight or two against good opposition to get to where Antoine is now. Foster showed that he has a chance to be a special fighter and we love the potential of Frometa.
Foster is now trained by Dennis Porter & Ronald Sims, who also handle Antoine and it was evident in their first fight together the difference that they have already made on him.
Douglas is currently ranked number-six by the WBA, number-eleven by the IBF and number-three by the WBO, while Lopez is ranked number-seven by the WBA.
This is all a product of moving our guys fast and right and by not babying them on the way up.
GH3 Promosi fitur tak terkalahkan kelas menengah Antoine Douglas, Super kelas menengah Jerry Odom & Ronald Ellis, terkalahkan super bantam Adam Lopez serta Boxcino 2015 Jr. Juara kelas menengah John Thompson, Jr., terkalahkan kelas welter Hector Frometa, Jerrell Harris & Keenan Smith, , Jr. Lightweight O’Shaquie Foster & Super kelas menengah Andrew Hernandez ke GH3 Promosi stabil.

Dalam perayaan persaingan terbaik di SHOWTIME, lihat di bawah untuk kolom khusus dari analis ahli SHOWTIME Sports dan sejarawan tinju Steve Farhood.

 

LEGENDS

Oleh Steve Farhood

 

Tinju tanpa legenda akan seperti agama tanpa orang suci.

Tidak ada formula bagi seorang petarung untuk maju dari bintang menjadi superstar menjadi legenda. Prosesnya tergantung waktu, keadaan, dan terkadang hanya satu atau dua poin pada juri’ kartu-kartu.

Dan oh, ya: Ini membantu jika seorang pria benar-benar bisa bertarung.

Saat kita merayakan 30 tahun bertinju di SHOWTIME, kami fokus pada tema yang berbeda setiap bulan. Sepanjang Maret, temanya adalah Legenda.

Dalam 130 tahun dari John L. Sullivan ke Floyd Mayweather, tinju telah memberi kita apa yang olahraga lain tidak bisa berikan. Mempertimbangkan:

  • The Associated Press memilih Luis Firpo knockdown of Jack Dempsey sebagai momen olahraga terbesar di paruh pertama abad ke-20.
  • The Frazier-Ali "Fight Of The Century" in 1971 dengan mudah menjadi acara olahraga yang paling diantisipasi dalam sejarah.
  • Pertarungan Mayweather-Pacquiao tahun lalu menghasilkan lebih dari setengah miliar dolar — dalam satu malam!

Legenda dibuat oleh momen-momen besar … dan bagaimana mereka menanggapi momen-momen itu.

Pada SHOWTIME, kami telah menampilkan legenda selama tiga dekade. Berikut ini pandangan mereka yang akan berbagi sorotan di bulan Maret.

MARVIN HAGLER: Karena Vince Lombardi tidak mengatakannya dengan tepat, “Pengaturan waktu bukanlah segalanya, itu satu-satunya,Hagler seharusnya mengatakannya.

Hagler adalah petarung hebat jauh sebelum dia menjadi superstar, tapi tidak sampai dia melawan Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, dan Sugar Ray Leonard (tiga dari enam pertarungan terakhir Hagler) bahwa Marvin menjadi Luar Biasa.

Satu penampilan Hagler di SHOWTIME, yang kebetulan merupakan pertarungan pertama yang disiarkan di jaringan (Bulan Maret 1986), adalah kemenangan terakhir dalam karirnya. Tak terkalahkan 10 tahun, Hagler telah membuktikan dirinya sebagai salah satu kelas menengah terbesar dalam sejarah. Dan sementara dapat diperdebatkan di belakang bahwa pada usia 31, petarung kerah biru pamungkas sedikit melewati masa jayanya, banyak dari apa yang membuat Hagler istimewa diperlihatkan selama pembelaannya yang kejam terhadap penantangnya yang tak terkalahkan dan ganas, John Mugabi.

Hampir tiga dekade setelah pensiun, Hagler tetap menjadi kelas menengah saat ini dengan 160 pon diukur.

GULA RAY LEONARD: Jika Hagler mekar terlambat, Leonard adalah seorang superstar sebelum dia melemparkan satu pukulan sebagai seorang profesional.

Kembali di pertengahan tahun 70-an, itulah senyuman yang magnetis, medali emas olimpiade, dan paparan berulang di televisi prime time bisa dilakukan untuk seorang pejuang muda.

Sungguh ironis bahwa Leonard pada awalnya dipandang oleh beberapa orang sebagai ciptaan media yang dimanjakan. Faktanya, dia sekuat petarung bertabur bintang di awal tahun 80-an. Lebih baik, dia tetap menjadi petarung terbaik yang pernah saya bahas 38 tahun di pukulan tinju.

Penampilan Leonard di SHOWTIME adalah pertarungan kedua dari belakang dalam karirnya. Dalam memilih untuk mengakhiri PHK panjang lainnya, Sugar Ray, 34, memilih peraih gelar kelas welter super berusia 23 tahun, Terry Norris sebagai lawannya. Leonard turun dari 160 untuk 154 pound dan bertarung di Madison Square Garden untuk pertama kalinya.

Pertarungan itu berfungsi sebagai pengingat bahwa setidaknya di dunia pra-Bernard Hopkins, tinju adalah permainan anak muda.

FELIX TRINIDAD: Hanya ada tiga pejuang Hispanik yang menjadi superstar di AS tanpa berbicara bahasa Inggris. Yang pertama adalah Roberto Duran dari Panama. Yang kedua adalah Julio Cesar Chavez dari Meksiko.

Yang ketiga adalah Trinidad Puerto Riko.

Motto Trinidad mungkin juga demikian, “Jika Anda tidak bisa dari Amerika, lalu kalahkan Amerika. ”

Pons klasik dengan senyuman pramuka dan kepribadian yang ramah penggemar, Trinidad membuat namanya dengan mengalahkan empat AS. Olympians, Pernell Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya (meskipun dengan keputusan yang buruk), David Reid, dan Fernando Vargas.

Tambahan Pula, Whitaker, De La Hoya, dan Reid semuanya adalah peraih medali emas.

Pertarungan yang akan kita bahas Bulan Maret 17 pada SHO EXTREME, Trinidad vs.. Reid, adalah penampilan ke-14 Trinidad dan penampilan terakhirnya di SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING dan SHOWTIME bayar-per-tayang.

Dari kayo pemenang gelar kelas welternya Maurice Blocker di 1993 melalui pertahanannya melawan Mahenge Zulu masuk 1998, 13 dari Trinidad 14 pertarungan disiarkan pada SHOWTIME. Dua belas dari pertarungan itu adalah kemenangan KO.

Di mana Trinidad sejajar dengan Wilfredo Gomez, Miguel Cotto, Carlos Ortiz, Wilfred Benitez, dan legenda lainnya dari Puerto Rico masih bisa diperdebatkan. Apa yang tidak bisa dibantah adalah bahwa "Tito" menghasilkan kegembiraan yang sama seperti petarung di jamannya.

RICARDO LOPEZ: Apa yang lebih kecil: kemungkinan bahwa strawweight (105 pon) menjadi bintang televisi Amerika atau petarung itu sendiri?

Tidak pernah ada juara dunia kelas jerami Amerika (atau bobot minimum). Kami hanya tidak menumbuhkan pejuang sebesar itu. Faktanya, sampai kemunculan Lopez dari Meksiko di awal tahun 90-an, sebagian besar penggemar tinju Amerika tidak dapat mengidentifikasi satu pun kelas jerami jika dipersenjatai dengan peta dunia dan serangkaian peringkat WBC.

Lopez sangat lengkap, sangat dominan, sangat sempurna secara teknis, itu dari 1994 ke '99, dia adalah inti dari program tinju SHOWTIME. Dia berkelahi 13 pertarungan berturut-turut di SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING atau SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View, dan yang pertama 11 dari kontes itu adalah mempertahankan gelar kelas jerami.

Dan jika Anda berpikir orang-orang kecil tidak bisa meninju, dengan baik, ada beberapa kayo satu pukulan yang ditaburkan.

Lopez, yang pensiun dengan tanda 51-0-1, secara universal diakui sebagai yang terbaik sepanjang masa. Sayang sekali dia tidak pernah bertarung melawan Michael Carbajal dari Amerika di kelas terbang ringan. Apakah dia memenangkan pertarungan itu?, dia kemungkinan akan diakui sebagai salah satu dari dua atau tiga petarung Meksiko terhebat yang pernah ada.

Yang mengatakan banyak untuk seorang pejuang yang tidak pernah menghadapi lawan yang diakui oleh publik Amerika menonton.

Here is what Julian and his trainer, Stephen Edwards, harus mengatakan Hari Selasa:
JULIAN WILLIAMS
I am extremely focused. There is a lot at stake Sabtu ini. I am finally in the position I wanted to be in since turning pro.
I have come to a conclusion that if people don’t have to fight Julian Williams then they won’t. It hasn’t been that frustrating though because I always have a fight on the books. I can’t worry about the people who won’t fight me. I just have to stay ready and put myself in the mandatory spot. That’s what I am going to do pada hari Sabtu malam.
It’s never any challenge fighting at home. I know exactly what I have to do. I don’t cut any corners in camp. The biggest challenge is the waiting because I am so anxious to get in there and get a win, especially in front of my home crowd.
I always knew I wanted to pursue a boxing career, so I treat it like I want it. I’ve been dreaming about this for a long time and my opportunity is finally here.
I’ve been a student of the game since I started watching boxing. I want to learn and I want to know everything about boxing.
It means everything to have my biggest fight to date in my backyard. I know my fans cheer loud and it feels great to have their support in my corner.
I know everything about my opponent. I probably know what kind of toothpaste he used this morning. I searched high and low for videos of Matano. I am ready because I know he is ready.
He is a little bit awkward. He seems to have a really good gas tank. He said he wants to take me the distance, jadi kita akan melihat.
The last fight solidified the things that I already knew about myself. I know I am fundamentally sound and I know I am the hungriest fighter in the world.
I always want to put on an explosive performance. It’s always about a win.
In about nine months, Philadelphia will have it’s fourth IBF super welterweight champion after David Reid, Robert Hines and Buster Drayton.
STEPHEN EDWARDS, Williams’ pelatih
We are ready. It’s been a long four-month camp. We thought were going to fight in January, so we’ve been grinding through this rough weather early in the morning. Julian is chomping at the bit and ready to rock ‘n roll.
We thought we were going to fight Austin Trout in December, and he saw that Julian gave his opponent a concussion and said I don’t want to fight him. It’s just that simple. We have to get past Matano and then we can talk about (super welterweight champion Jermall) Charlo.
Anybody with two hands and a heartbeat can fight. Matano is ranked and just because he isn’t well known, it doesn’t mean he can’t fight. Dia adalah 16-1 and they didn’t have a hard time convincing him to take the fight. The best soldiers are volunteers. Any time someone willingly comes to someone else’s country, you have to take him seriously.
I don’t want to make a prediction, but Julian will hurt this guy very bad.

ANAHEIM, Kalif. (Februari. 27, 2016) – Singa “Gempa bumi” Santa Cruz defended his WBA Featherweight World Championship in convincing fashion pada hari Sabtu malam, knocking down Kiko “Sensación” Martinez twice in the first round, then ending it on a barrage of punches as the fight was called at 2:09 in the fifth round in the main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader at Honda Center in Anaheim, Kalif.
Dalam co-fitur pada SHOWTIME, 29-tahun Hugo Ruiz (36-3, 31 Biaya), Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Meksiko, regained his WBC Super Bantamweight World Title with a devastating early knockdown with just 51 seconds into the 12-round fight against 23-year-old Juli Ceja (30-2, 27 Biaya) of Atizapan De Zaragoza, Meksiko, in a highly anticipated rematch of their August fight won by Ceja.
Fighting just 10 miles west of his hometown of La Habra and before 7,780 enthusiastic fans, the 27-year-old Santa Cruz (32-0-1, 18 Biaya) continued to establish himself as the King of Southern California as he punished the game 29-year-old Martinez (35-7, 26 Biaya) of Alicante, Valencia, Spanyol, dengan 570 total punches in just five rounds. Ada 1,038 total punches thrown during the fight.
The fans love it when two fighters go toe-to-toe,” Santa Cruz told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray after the fight. “I wanted to give the fans a great fight. I knew I could hurt him with a right hand. He’s a fighter and when he’s knocked down, he’s going to come back. In the fifth round I knew I had to finish him off and I did.
Santa Cruz continued, “We were going toe-to-toe from the beginning. He’s was throwing good punches I was throwing out good punches and the crowd was loving it. Then my dad told me to slow down and be smarter so we started boxing.
Santa Cruz wasted no time getting the upper hand as the opening bell rung. He knocked Martinez out twice in the first round; the first just 23 seconds into the fight and the second on a devastating right hand at two minutes into the round prompting SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING play-by-play announcer Mauro Ranallo to tell expert analyst Al Bernstein: “We may be able to get to Disneyland before the end of the night.
Martinez fell into a groove in the third and fourth rounds, but got into trouble two minutes into the fifth round as Santa Cruz had him up against the ropes connecting on numerous body shots, uppercuts and combinations before referee Raul Caiz Sr. signaled the end of the fight for Santa Cruz’s second straight world title defense in Southern California.
Martinez said that Santa Cruz, “started to move a lot and he broke my strategy and he fought a great fight. The second round I was getting looser and I was starting to feel much better.
He was like a bull coming forward really strong,” Santa Cruz added. “He has definitely been one of the strongest fighters I’ve been in the ring with yet.
Towards the end I said, ‘this is it, this is my opportunity to take him down. If I don’t finish him right here, it’s going to make it a really tough fight.So I said I was going at it with my all and thankfully it turned out the way that it did.
Santa Cruz, making his second defense after capturing the world title from Abner Mares back in August, said someday he wants to break the records for most punches thrown in a fight. “I wanted to throw as many punches as I can so the fans could get a good show.
Santa Cruz is now eyeing a future potential matchup with IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton di 126 pon atau Gary Russell. “I’m up for anyone,” dia mengatakan. “I want the rematch with (Abner) Ibu. Since Frampton won, if he’s ready to go up in weight, I’m ready for him. I challenge him to a fight whenever he’s ready.
In a rematch of the WBC Super Bantamweight World Title he lost last August, the new 122-pound champion Ruiz improved his record to 5-0 in rematches (dengan lima KO) as he delivered a stunning first-round knockout against Ceja, who injured his right ankle on a powerful clean right just seconds into the fight sending him to the canvas.
Ceja got up slowly but was battered with a fury of punches and knocked out again with just 51 seconds into the fight ending the affair.
I was very prepared to knock him out, but I was prepared to go 12 putaran malam ini also if I had to,” said Ruiz, who was teary and emotional following the victory. “I was happy to knock him out in the first round. I’m looking for the best fighters and the best money out there.
Said SHOWTIME analyst Paulie Malignaggi: “I’ve never seen a first-round KO that soon in a fight of this much importance.Added SHOWTIME’s Bernstein: “The right hand was the weapon of choice for Ruiz, and he got the job done. What a moment of redemption for Ruiz!”
Alis, who beat Ruiz on a fifth-round knockout last August to win the world title, was hurt from the first series of Ruiz punches and never recovered in the intense first round.
Ceja was taken to nearby UC Irvine Hospital and diagnosed with a fractured right ankle.
I saw that he got hurt with the first punch and I saw his leg wobbling and so I said, ‘Let’s finish’,” Ruiz mengatakan. “And I did in that round.
Lebih Awal Hari Sabtu dari Manchester, Inggris, pada tanggal SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL, IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton unified the super bantamweight division with a split decision victory over WBA titlist Scott QUIGG.
The long-awaited matchup of unbeaten champions got off to a slow and tactical start, but Belfast native Frampton (22-0, 14 Biaya) established himself as the aggressor and worked his jab to pocket the early rounds. Quigg didn’t come alive until after the seventh, when trainer Joe Gallagher warned his charge that he was likely down big on the judges’ Scorecard.
QUIGG (31-1-2) pounded the body and was the aggressor in rounds eight through 11, but it was too little, too late for the Lancashire, England native. Frampton won the 12th and walked away the unified champion by scores of 115-113 for Quigg, tapi 116-112 twice for Frampton.

Berikut adalah apa yang para pejuang harus mengatakan Hari Kamis:

 

LEO SANTA CRUZ

 

“Headlining a televised card has been my childhood dream. I could have never imagined I was going to get this far. And Here I am, on my second main event, defending my title on a premium network. I’m so psyched. I cannot believe it.

 

“The first time I put the gloves on, I knew that I had found my craft, and I also knew that it was not going to be an easy road. I knew that I had to work hard to become a champion. Jadi, I trained the hardest and I fought the hardest, and with my father by my side I got here, where I’m at today. I owe him everything.

 

“I remember watching all the great Mexican Champions and day dreaming about being like them one day. It felt unreachable. I thought it was impossible to get where they were. But I worked hard, really hard from the beginning.

 

“The most important thing is that the fans leave happy and get their money’s worth. I’m glad that Kiko has come prepared because we’re ready for a great fight.

 

“People are saying that I should walk through Kiko Martinez, but I don’t listen to that. I look at Kiko the same way I look at any other opponent. When we step inside the ring, we are equals.

 

"Pada akhir hari, the winner will be the fighter who has prepared more and who has imposed his will on the other man.

 

 

KIKO MARTINEZ

 

“I have faced much stronger boxers than Leo and come Hari Sabtu, all of those who did bet on me for this fight, I am going to make you a lot of money.

 

“I am excited and proud to know that Sergio Martinez will be present pada hari Sabtu supporting me. His guidance and presence

 

“My trainer could not be here, but we have not taken one day off in training camp and I have been pushed to my limit to prepare me for this fight. I’m thankful to Robert Garcia for being in my corner pada hari Sabtu.

 

“I know this is a great opportunity to fight Leo Santa Cruz and I will make the most of it. I’m going to leave everything inside the ring so that the fight fans enjoy a great championship matchup.

 

“I feel that Leo Santa Cruz is a great fighter, he has beat some incredible fighters. He’s a great athlete and boxer. Sometimes people will try to make him out to be more than he actually is but they are mistaken with what they see in me. I am not to be mistaken as the underdog here.

 

 

JULIO CEJA

 

“As Hugo mentioned, we have both trained even harder than last time and we’re more prepared physically and mentally.

 

“I’m going to give everybody a great fight just like last time. I’m walking into the ring knowing my opponent very well. We’ve been to war. I know what to expect from him. I know about his punch and I know how to counter it.

 

“I’m going to be alert and ready. I’ll be a little more intelligent, because I know that he’s coming well prepared and he’s coming for the world title, but he’s not going to get it.

“There are going to be no surprises in this fight. Hugo Ruiz said that he was training harder this time. But I am too. I’ve trained very hard.

 

“The key for me to win this fight is to keep my hands up and to not give him one inch. I cannot be careless. I’ll be strategic and use my wisdom. I cannot come in with my hands down because I know I’ll pay for it. But nothing to worry about, we have rectified those issues in training camp. Saya siap. He’s not taking my belt away from me.

 

“I’m glad that he says he is better prepared this time because I am better than ever. My team has been instrumental in preparing me for this matchup.

 

“The winner will be the man who is more prepared physically and mentally. But the real winner will be the fans at Honda Center because this is an amazing card and we’re going to put on an amazing fight.”

 

 

HUGO RUIZ

 

“If you liked the first fight between us, then you are going to love this one.

 

“I’m excited to be fighting once again in Southern California. I’ve trained very hard and I have prepared myself for this world title opportunity.

 

“I’m looking forward to putting on a grand show for all my fans pada hari Sabtu malam. "

 

 

JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz’ Father & Pelatih

 

I hear Kiko has a great trainer on his corner. Robert Garcia is really good, but I have news for Kiko, his trainer is not going to fight for him.

Once a fighter steps into the ring, he’s alone in there. There are no trainers and no great promoters that can fight for him.”

 

“Kiko speaks about this prestigious trainer and thinks that by mentioning him, he is going to intimidate us. He has something else coming. The trainer won’t fight for Kiko. Roberto Garcia has trained my son and knows Leo very well but that does not give Kiko the upper hand.”

 

TOM BROWN, Head of TGB Promotions

 

“Southern California favorite Leo Santa Cruz returns to bring his action style to the ring. He will be opposed by a tough former world champion in Kiko Martinez who is sure to make this a tremendous fight.

 

“The first fight between Ceja and Ruiz was a true back and forth war. Should this pick up right where it left off, we will have a great fight to start the telecast.
