In a Juneteenth Day celebration on Saturday, Juny 19, in his hometown of Houston, unbeaten WBC middleweight world champion Jermall Charlo takes on the power-punching Juan Macias Montiel. After claiming a championship in the 154-pound division, Charlo moved up in weight and has been just as dominant. The battle against Montiel will be Charlo’s fifth defense of his 160-pound title. Charlo is coming off a career-defining victory over Sergey Derevyanchenko in September.

En dissabte, Juny 26, current two-division world champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis looks to become a three-division world champion when he returns to headline his second SHOWTIME PPV event.

En dissabte, Setembre 11, the red-hot 122-pound division will take center stage once again on SHOWTIME as the WBO junior featherweight world champion Stephen Fulton, Jr. will make the first defense of his title against the winner of the May 15 clash between undefeated champions Nery and Figueroa.

HAGLER I HEARNS VAN ANAR A LA "GUERRA" 36 FA ANYS EN UNA DE LES NOU LLUITES MEMORABLES QUE PRESENTA EN ELS DOCUMENTALS SHOWTIME SPORTS’ ELS REIS

Leave a comment

Cicle documental de quatre parts que narra la rivalitat i l'època

de Duran, Hagler, Hearns, i Leonard

Estrena diumenge, Juny 6, a 8 p.m. ET / PT

Exclusivament a SHOWTIME

NOVA YORK – Abril 15, 2021 – Des de 1980 a través de 1989, quatre grans campions i futurs membres del Saló de la Fama van elevar el nivell del seu esport. Va ser boxa en el seu millor moment, en el seu moment més fascinant. Al llarg d'una dècada gloriosa, es van lluitar nou vegades.Roberto “Mans de pedra” Durán, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns, i Sugar Ray Leonard, coneguts col·lectivament com els "Quatre Reis,” va formar una rivalitat ferotge i, sens dubte, el període més gran de la història de l'esport.

Es presentaran DOCUMENTALS SHOWTIME SPORTSELS REIS, una sèrie de quatre parts que narra els quatre lluitadors’ ascensions dramàtiques i divergents a la grandesa i els llegendaris partits que van produir. Van dominar una època de creació pròpia, però no entre ells. La sèrie setmanal s'estrena diumenge, Juny 6 a 8 p.m. I / PT per SHOWTIME, amb tots els episodis disponibles a les plataformes sota demanda i en streaming de la xarxa a l'estrena.

Avui es commemora el 36è aniversari de l'èpica batalla pel campionat de pes mitjà entre Hagler i Hearns.. Durant molt de temps es va considerar la marca més alta de l'era dels Quatre Reis, Hagler-Hearns destaca pel drama i l'acció brutal sense parar que es va comprimir en poc més de vuit minuts de principi a fi.. La lluita i l'estrofa inicial van ser consensuades Lluita de l'any i Ronda de l'any, respectivament, però molts consideren tots dos com un dels, sinóla, els millors de tots els temps en les seves respectives categories.

Per sota de, si us plau, trobeu les observacions i records dels que van cobrir aquella lluita, molts dels que hi apareixenELS REIS.      

“Recordo la setmana de la baralla, Hagler portava una gorra de beisbol amb "WAR".’ al davant, i vaig pensar, 'eh, el bombo habitual abans de la lluita', fins al primer timbre, llavors vaig dir, “Vaja!, Hagler tenia raó.”

– Teddy Atles, Entrenador del Saló de la Fama i analista de boxa

“Vaig cobrir la baralla com a columnista de The New York Times. Aquí estava la meva pista: Fins que Thomas Hearns va caure, amb l'assistència d'un directe a la cara de Marvelous Marvin Hagler, i va ser considerat el perdedor a 2:01 de la tercera ronda, amb prou feines passava un segon que un dels lluitadors no estava llançant i donant un cop impressionant.”

– Ira Berkow, primera línia del New York Times

“L'emoció a l'arena exterior del Caesars Palace era palpable. Quan em vaig asseure al costat del ring, vaig fer alguna cosa que ara faig regularment abans d'un partit. Quan tant Hagler com Hearns havien entrat i estaven al ring, em vaig treure els auriculars només per sentir millor l'emoció de la multitud.. Jo volia viure aquell moment. Ara, Ho faig abans de cada gran partit just abans de començar. Al final de la primera ronda, Vaig dir a la televisió, "Aquesta és una de les millors rondes de la història de la boxa de pes mitjà.’ Potser l'he estat venent menys".

– En Bernstein, SHOWTIME Analista de boxa / ringside, va cridar la baralla com a part de l'equip de retransmissió en circuit tancat en directe

“Sabia que s'estaven sorgint problemes quan en l'últim tram de la seva gira de premsa a nivell nacional, En Marvin va clavar tovallons de sopar a les dues orelles mentre Tommy s'aixecava per continuar durant tres setmanes presumint d'un nocaut a la tercera ronda. 'Té mitja raó,’ Hagler més tard va queixinar-se. La primera ronda va aspirar l'aire de l'arena i el final va ser la resposta violenta de Hagler a totes les forces que creia que havien intentat negar-li la grandesa durant tota la seva carrera. Marvin va treure totes les seves frustracions al pobre Tommy i el va deixar a terra, trencat com una vella cadira de platja.

– Ron Borges, primera línia per al Boston Globe

“Aquella nit estava assegut a la primera fila al costat d'Ed Schuyler Jr., el gran escriptor de boxa AP. Estàvem anticipant una bona lluita, però no teníem ni idea del bé. Va sonar la campana i, de sobte, Hagler i Hearns estaven lluitant amb una fúria difícil d'entendre i igualment difícil de descriure.. Quan va acabar la ronda, Recordo haver vist Schuyler sacsejant el meu cap, sense dir ni una paraula, i ell em va fer el mateix. Era com "Què acabem de veure".?’ He vist milers de baralles, però fins avui aquells tres minuts de caos estan gravats per sempre a la meva ment. No cal veure el vídeo antic, Ho recordo gairebé cop a cop. Primera ronda més gran de la història, i els cinc primers en les millors baralles que he cobert mai.”

– Tim Dahlberg, primera línia per a Associated Press

“Un vell periodista savi em va dir una vegada, 'Si estàs cobrint una baralla, o qualsevol cosa per a això, això és realment sensacional, no intenteu escriure-ho així. Reduïu-ho. Penso en aquest consell sempre que algú esmenta Hagler-Hearns. Per als aficionats a la lluita, era vigoritzant, inspirador, increïble – tot el que podríem esperar. Per als escriptors de lluita, era una mica diferent. Com podríem descriure aquella primera ronda sense sobrepassar els nostres límits?  De vegades és més fàcil ser fan.”

– Steve Farhood, SHOWTIME Analista de boxa / Va cobrir la lluita com a escriptor principal de la revista KO

“Sempre recordaré estar assegut al camió, com a productor de la televisió, i dient-ho a Marc Payton, el director, quedar-se amb la càmera de mà a l'últim minut de la primera ronda, hipnotitzat que s'havien plantat davantque la càmera. Van ser els tres minuts més llargs d'acció de tota la meva carrera. Em vaig girar cap al Marc al final de la ronda i només vaig preguntar, 'Què dimonis va ser això?’ En realitat, va ser un improperi més contundent que això.”

– Ross Greenburg, productor executiu de la retransmissió de lluita

“Al final de la primera ronda em vaig quedar literalment sense paraules. L'acció havia estat increïblement intensa – s'havien atacat mútuament amb el tipus de ferocitat que només es veu en una pel·lícula de terror – que ho havia vist tot amb la boca ben oberta, i a l'aire sec del desert la meva boca s'havia quedat completament seca, així que no vaig poder dir una paraula quan Ian Darke em va demanar el meu comentari. Finalment vaig aconseguir dir, "Aquesta és la millor ronda de boxa que he vist mai.’ I tots aquests anys després, encara segueix sent així.”

– Colin Hart, ringside per a The Sun i BBC Radio

“Sempre que em demanen el nom de l'esdeveniment esportiu més emocionant a què he assistit mai, responc, 'Hagler-Hearns.’ Mai he d'explicar.”

– Barry Horn, primera línia del Dallas Morning News

“La primera ronda més gran de la història de la boxa amb qualsevol pes. Hearns el colpeja amb la millor mà dreta que mai ha llançat, el tremola, obre un tall al front, però dues rondes més tard Marvin lluita contra la sang i el noqueja.. Setanta anys cobrint boxa i mai vaig veure res semblant.”

– Jerry Izenberg, al costat del ring per a The Star-Ledger

“Estar al costat del ring durant els vuit minuts de fúria coneguts com la lluita Marvin Hagler-Thomas Hearns va ser tan a prop com qualsevol podia arribar a comprendre els dies dels gladiadors al Coliseu romà.. La primera ronda va ser una guerra total amb tots dos lluitadors intercanviant els seus millors tirs de poder. Hearns va intentar boxar al segon, però Hagler no el va deixar, i quan la sang va començar a vessar d'un tall al front de Hagler a la tercera i hi havia el perill que la baralla s'aturi, Hagler va dir més tard, 'M'encén, surt el monstre.’ Noi, ho va fer! Mai oblidaré la imatge d'un dels controladors d'Hearns bressol com un nen i portant-lo a la cantonada., per això vaig dirigir amb aquesta imatge. Fàcilment el partit de boxa més salvatge que he presenciat entre dos grans de tots els temps.”

– Greg Logan, primera línia per a Newsday

“Tot i que l'acció i el drama van durar més de vuit minuts sense alè, en realitat va acabar en el primer minut més o menys quan l'estrella del KO Hearns va aterrar un color dret i Hagler no va parpellejar. Va ser llavors quan em vaig adonar que Hagler, normalment un pacient acosador, havia indicat la seva intenció d'utilitzar la seva força de pes mitjà per desafiar un gran pes welter colpejant-li el pit amb desafiament just abans que sonés la campana inicial.. Una nit i lluita per recordar.”

– Larry Merchant, comentarista de ringside per a la transmissió de retard

“Evidentment, la millor ronda de boxa que he vist mai, i molt menys cridar. Un d'aquells moments dels quals vas conèixer la magnitud mentre passava. Aquella primera ronda semblava que durava mitja hora.”

– Barry Tompkins, SHOWTIME Analista de boxa / ringside per trucar a la retransmissió de la lluita de retard

“No sabia què esperar ja que era la primera vegada que veia una baralla en una sala de cinema. Aleshores, els blancs i els negres de Memphis només es socialitzaven al voltant dels esports. Era una multitud mixta al teatre, però la mateixa reacció: pura alegria i il·lusió. Tothom es va mantenir dempeus durant tota la lluita. Va ser violent, valent, i emocionant.”

– George Willis, cobrint des d'una presa de circuit tancat a Memphis per a The Commercial Appeal

“Vaig cobrir aquella baralla, i molts altres, per a The Detroit News. Mai oblidaré el salvatgisme absolut de la manera com Hearns i Hagler es van enfrontar des de la campana inicial., i la manera com la multitud rugia amb cada cop de puny. Un moment revelador: Hearns es va connectar amb un ganxo esquerre que va fer girar a Hagler a la meitat de la força del cop de puny — però mai el va molestar. S'ha anomenat la lluita curta més gran de la història, i això es manté fins avui. La primera ronda va marcar el to. Recordo que després de la baralla algú va preguntar a Larry Merchant de HBO com va anotar aquella primera ronda. "Els vaig donar 11 a tots dos,’ va respondre. Això ho va dir tot.”

– Mike O'Hara, primera línia per a The Detroit News

“El meu record de la primera volta: acció tan immediata i temerària que els espectadors es van quedar sense alè. També eren els periodistes al costat del ring. Vaig estar allà pel Boston Globe, i recordo els veterans escribas que seien paralitzats després de la campana, incapaç d'escriure o ratllar notes, jo inclòs. Una profunda escletxa es va obrir per sobre de l'ull dret de Hagler, i Hearns’ mà dreta fracturada. A la tercera ronda, amb sang que corre pel nas d'Hagler, l'àrbitre va aturar el combat i li va preguntar a Hagler si podia continuar. Hagler va trencar: 'No el trobo a faltar, sóc jo?Quan es va reprendre el combat, Hagler va atacar ràpidament, va rebotar tres drets llargs de Hearns’ cap, i el vaig veure girar cap avall cap a la tela.”

– Steve Marantz, primera línia per al Boston Globe

“Recordo lo difícil que va ser, en un termini ajustat, per donar justícia a aquella espectacular primera volta. Quants superlatius podria incorporar a la història sense provocar nàusees?  Hagler en silenci, venent la lluita amb confiança – senzillament, amb una gorra amb 'Guerra’ estampat al davant. Llavors aquell infant d'infanteria dur com els claus, arribant, sempre ve després d'Hearns. Hearns en els seus peus, barbeta a l'espatlla de l'àrbitre Richard Steele i després portat a la seva cantonada. Encara puc escoltar la multitud rugir durant la breu lluita, sabent que tots estàvem presenciant una baralla durant els segles.”

– John Phillips, primera línia per a Reuters

“El que recordo d'aquesta guerra és que no hi havia sentiment (mútuament) a fora, acaben de sortir de la campana d'obertura! Era tan fort a fora al Caesars Palace, el lloc més emblemàtic, que va fer que aquesta lluita fos encara més especial. Tant de bo fossin més baralles fora. També vaig pensar que l'àrbitre Richard Steele va fer un gran treball i els va deixar lluitar!”

– Marc Ratner, Inspector de la Comissió Atlètica de l'Estat de Nevada per a Hagler-Hearns

“Hagler-Hearns va ser la primera lluita important que vaig cobrir i la primera vegada que vaig anar a Las Vegas. Vaig estar allà per fer barres laterals i fer pressupostos per a Greg Logan, que estava fent la història principal de Newsday. Vaig tenir un seient a la fila de premsa quan la fila de premsa era realment al costat del ring, literalment dins 10 peus del davantal de l'anell. I després de la increïble primera volta, Estava de peu, em tremolen les cames, quan em vaig adonar de tots els altres més grans, periodistes més canosos també estaven dempeus, sorprès pel que tots havíem vist. En aquell moment, L'Eddie Schuyler, de l'AP, es va girar cap a mi i va fer una estona d'aquella manera sardònica., 'Ja ho saps, nen, no tots són així.’ Va resultar que tenia raó. Durant el següent 38 anys i qui sap quantes primeres rondes, Encara n'he vist un altre com aquest.”

– Wally Matthews, primera línia per a Newsday

Vadim Nemkov, BELLATOR Light Heavyweight World Champion

Feu clic aAQUÍ to view Nemkov’s full media session

“Sí, I am entering the Grand Prix as a champion but I try to move those things out of my head, so I’m entering the tournament like a regular fighter and I just want to win. Per a mi, it’s much more important to win this tournament right now. Not the belt.

“I want to win this tournament. I want to prove myself to everybody. I’m in my prime age right now. I already have a lot of experience. I’m well prepared for this tournament and because I’m younger, that’s even more of a plus for me.

“I’m very glad that I have three fights this year to defend my title. That’s really good for me to fight a lot and to prove that I am the best. That I am a champion. Not wasting any time. I’m really happy that these other legends in the tournament want my belt and I have a chance to fight with them and prove that I am better.

“I’m ready to fight with Phil Davis for five rounds. I’m prepared for it. But I want to finish it. I don’t want to spend five rounds with Phil Davis and I want to be the first one to finish him in his life.”

Phil Davis, BELLATOR Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix Competitor

*Feu clic aAQUÍ to view Davis’ full media session

"Honestament, it’s sort of cliché but the toughest test in this tournament would be Nemkov. He’s champion for a reason. He’s a tough cat and he’s the guy to beat. I want to get this light heavyweight belt and then after that, clean up the rest of the tournament.

“This fight is going to be crazy. I can promise you that. With Nemkov, you know when you skate by with a win. Aquesta vegada, he’s coming to make a statement that he is the rightful champion. And I am coming to say, ‘No you not!’ It’s definitely going to be a very aggressive and exciting fight.

“I look back at that loss and I never would wish I would lose, però al mateix temps, I do feel like it adds a little more theatrics to this moment and how sweet it would be to win the belt back from a very close decision in such an amazing light heavyweight tournament.

“All of those matchups [rematches with Nemkov, Johnson, Bader] are freaking awesome. I am definitely motivated to avenge a loss but I am just more motivated about winning this tournament because it has some of the who’s who of the sport and of the light heavyweight division. Whoever wins this, the fans will say, ‘That guy is freaking awesome. You went head-to-head with all the killers in this division.’

“I think it’s a mistake to think that you know a guy or think that you know what he’s going to do. I approach it almost as a brand-new fighter, brand-new fight. It keeps me from falling into the trap of underestimating him or maybe thinking he didn’t improve in certain areas. I have limited knowledge of what you like to do and what I think your plan of attack will be and my job is just to come at you with a blank slate because a lot of times, especially with rematches, they tend to be completely different from the first one.”

“The re-focus is back. I spent so much time with my son during the quarantine. Watching him grow and building that relationship and just remembering that every move I make is for my family so I can give them a better life. I need to go out there and be smart about it. Now that I have two with my baby girl, and not only having her as a baby but delivering the baby myself, it just put a whole different aspect on everything.

“The moment I got the release and everything settled from UFC and signed with BELLATOR, I knew I was valued more over here already before even meeting anybody. My manager let people know that we got out of UFC and within an hour, hour-and-a-half, BELLATOR hit us with a huge offer that we couldn’t pass. The people I was with at the time were like, ‘Yo, if you don’t take that money you are stupid.’ So, we took that and that showed me how much they valued me as a fighter. In a matter of 24 hores, a new promotion had offered me my worth in money, actually reached out and talked to me and then they wanted to meet with my face-to-face. That’s something that in my seven years in UFC, I still hadn’t had a face-to-face meeting with Dana White.

“I go into training camp and I look at my training partners like I’m going to look at my opponent. Concedit, I’m not going out there to hurt them. I don’t plan on hurting my opponent if I don’t have to in the fight. But the plan is to go out there and dominate and win in the best fashion and get to him before he gets to me. It can be the No. 1 ranked guy or the lowest ranked guy in the world, but the plan is to go out there and fight like Corey Anderson fights. Go out there and be the mixed martial artist that you train to be every day.

“He was the champ somewhere else. He is legitimate enough to be in this tournament with the other seven fighters. Amb això es diu, I’m not going in there and looking past him because he’s not a name we know. I’m not looking in there thinking that I because I was in the UFC and I fought at the top that this guy is not ready. I’m going out there thinking this guy is as dangerous as anybody else. He has two fists. He has two legs, two eyes and two ears. He can hear, see and throw whatever he wants to throw when he sees it.

“BELLATOR’s light heavyweight division has all the numbers. We have all the skills. We have all the names. En 205 over there in UFC, all you really have right now is the champ and Glover. People over here already beat both of those guys. It’s kind of like, it shouldn’t even be a question.”

“Sometimes I don’t even know how to describe my own fighting style. It’s some kind of weird style. Normalment, I start adapting to my opponent during the fight. If the guy tries to wrestle, I strike with him. If the guy tries to strike, I wrestle with him.

“I don’t like to predict the fights, especially my own fights. It’s easier to predict somebody else’s fight but it’s hard to say what’s going to happen. Everything about what is going to happen is going to be shown Friday night in the cage. The only thing I can tell you about what I’m going to do is I’m going to go out there and fight with the guy.

“I don’t feel any kind of pressure because there are a lot of big names in this tournament. It’s only names. They are still fighters even though they may be more known fighters and more promoted fighters than me. In my career, I’ve fought competition that’s not worse and, in some moments, even better than these guys. I have really good experience so I can fight with any of them.

“I think Yoel Romero would the guy I’d like to fight. It’s not like I really want to fight him or there’s something special about this fight, but I was always a fan of his fight style and the way he acts in the public. I kind of respect this guy so if you ask me who I would like to fight from this tournament, it would be Yoel Romero.”

Paul Daley, BELLATOR Welterweight

“In regards to Homasi saying he’s not fazed by my record, I think he has to say that for his confidence. I know already that he’s nervous. He’s already doubting himself. It’s a big change from the interview when we were supposed to fight pre-COVID when he was saying that he was a fan of me and he’s been watching me fight for a while. That just tells me that he’s nervous about the fight and it’s just for his confidence that he’s saying stuff like that. Just to reassure him that he deserves to be in there with me.

“Who knows what’s next. I’m just here to fight Friday night and put on a fantastic performance. Stop the guy. Take him out of there and leave no questions to my ability and just put on a great show.

“I’m just looking forward to fighting regardless of who’s in there with me on Friday night. It just so happens that it’s going to be Sabah. En paper, he should bring it. It should be a standup war but I don’t think it’s going to be as much of a war while standing and I think there’s going to be quite a few takedown attempts.

“Very few people who meet me have the same idea as prior to meeting me. Everybody thinks I’m this psychotic fighting machine but deep down I’m a martial artist. What brought me to martial arts was ninjas. That is what got me into martial arts. It wasn’t the fact that I was some kind of street fighter. I just wanted to be a ninja. I wanted to disappear. I wanted to do the meditation things. Intertwine my fingers and summon a dragon or something like that. Deep down, I’m a martial artist and that’s what keeps me going. It’s the endless search of perfection that drives me. I just want to be the best martial artist I can be. I’ve just recently been awarded my black belt in Brazilian jiujutsu and I’m still here in BELLATOR competing against these guys after so many fights and so many years in the game.”

Bon dia Homasi, BELLATOR Welterweight

“After this win, I see myself just climbing the ladder. Getting closer to a title shot.

“It’s more of a mental state with me. Something mentally clicked for me and I’m putting everything together now. I have the skillset. Everything is coming together and it’s perfect timing for me.

“I just have to respect his power. But he has to respect mine too. A part d'això, I see myself beating him everywhere. I don’t care how many fights he has. I fought people with more fights than him. I do it every day in the gym and to me this is just a fight.”

NOVA YORK – Abril 12, 2021 - A la boxa, es diu que els estils fan baralles. Des 1980 a través de 1989, era l'estil de quatre grans lluitadors que no només feien lluites llegendàries, va inaugurar un renaixement de la boxa. La ferotge rivalitat entre els campions del món i els futurs membres del Saló de la Fama coneguts com els "Quatre Reis" -Roberto “Mans de pedra” Durán, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns, i Sugar Ray Leonard - va produir una Edat d'Or definida per les nou lluites del campionat del món entre ells i va consolidar el seu lloc entre els més grans que s'hagin viscut mai.

Avui s'ha anunciat SHOWTIME SPORTS DOCUMENTALS FILMSELS REIS, una sèrie de quatre parts que narra els quatre lluitadors’ ascensions dramàtiques i divergents a la grandesa i els llegendaris partits que van produir. La sèrie setmanal s'estrena diumenge, Juny 6 a 8 p.m. ET /PT a SHOWTIME, amb tots els episodis disponibles a les plataformes sota demanda i en streaming de la xarxa a l'estrena.

ELS REIS destaca l'evolució de la boxa des del final de l'era de Muhammad Ali fins a l'era dels Quatre Reis, enfront dels sísmics canvis polítics i socioeconòmics que tenen lloc als Estats Units. Els Quatre Reis van saltar a la fama quan la presidència de Jimmy Carter i la recessió econòmica van donar pas a la benvinguda del capitalisme dels anys vuitanta i l'excés aprofitat per les administracions de Ronald Reagan i George H.W.. Arbust. A través d'entrevistes en profunditat i imatges d'arxiu, la sèrie també examina les batalles molt personals que cada home va lliurar en el seu viatge únic al centre del món de l'esport..

"Aquests quatre homes van definir una època en la boxa,"Va dir Stephen Espinoza, President, SHOWTIME Sports. “Les seves històries individuals, lligats per sempre per les espectaculars batalles que van lliurar, reflecteixen un període tumultuós de la cultura i la història nord-americana.ELS REIS porta l'espectador més enllà de l'acció gloriosa d'algunes de les lluites de premis més memorables de la història per il·luminar el viatge dramàtic de cada home i el context social que els va convertir en estrelles de l'esport i la cultura popular".

Després d'un breu període de guaret arran de la jubilació d'Ali, La boxa es va revitalitzar quan Leonard es va convertir en campió del món 1979 i va lliurar la seva primera batalla amb Durán a 1980. A partir d'aquest punt, els Four Kings van participar en una dècada de lluites fascinants que van superar amb escreix qualsevol altre esport en atenció i ingressos.. Eren les estrelles més populars de l'esport i la cultura nord-americana.

Des 1979 a través de 1985, com a senyal dels seus èxits increïbles, l'Associació d'Escriptors de Boxa d'Amèrica va concedir a aquests homes el cobejat títol de "Lluitador de l'any" anualment amb l'única excepció de 1982 - Amb Leonard, Hagler i Hearns van guanyar dues vegades cadascun. En les nou baralles pel títol mundial entre ells, hi va haver quatre nocauts i tres dels combats van ser reconeguts perL'Anell revista com a "Lluita de l'any". L'Anell revista "Ronda de l'any" (i a molts, la ronda de tots els temps) de la primera ronda de Hagler-Hearns és, potser, la ronda de boxa més emblemàtica de tots els temps. De manera adequada, ELS REIS s'estrena en el 45è aniversari de Leonard guanyant una medalla d'or olímpica, i l'any del 40è aniversari de la batalla per la unificació del títol mundial de pes welter entre Leonard i Hearns, àmpliament considerat la seva lluita més gran i un símbol de l'època.

ELS REIS està produït per Box To Box Film en associació amb Ingenious Media. La sèrie és produïda per James Gay-Rees (Amy, Senna, Condueix per sobreviure) i Paul Martin (Diego Maradona, Condueix per sobreviure), produït per Fiona Neilson (Oasi: Supersònic, Coldplay: Un cap ple de somnis) i dirigida per Mat Whitecross (Oasi: Supersònic, Camí a Guantánamo, Coldplay: Un cap ple de somnis).

Uncasville, Conn. – Abril 10, 2021 - Rising welterweight star Jaron "Botes" Ennis aced the toughest test of his professional career with a sensational sixth-round knockout win over former world champion Sergey Lipinets in the main event on Saturday night’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast, live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

The win puts Philadelphia’s Ennis (27-0, 25 KOs) one step closer to his first world title opportunity as he dismantled the former 140-pound world champion over six rounds of their welterweight battle. As he has done often throughout his career, the 23-year-old switched effortlessly between an orthodox and southpaw stance and exhibited tremendous power from both sides. Ennis finished the fight with an eye-popping 53% connect rate on his power punches and out-landed Lipinets 91 a 48.

“I’ll always be hard on myself when I look back at my performance,” said Ennis. “My goal is to keep getting better, sharper, faster and stronger so I can become world champion. As long as I keep fighting top guys, Estic feliç. I feel like I will be world champion by the end of this year or beginning of next year. Patience is the key though.”

The 32-year-old Joe Goossen-trained Lipinets (16-2-1, 12 KOs) of Woodland Hills, Qualif., showed determination in weathering the onslaught of combinations from Ennis. An uppercut floored the Kazakhstan-born Lipinets and sent him to the canvas for the second time in his professional career in the fourth round. Prior to tonight, Lipinets had only been down in his other professional loss which came at the hands of four-division world champion Mikey Garcia.

“Lipinets has been in there with the best before, so I wasn’t surprised he held up for a while,” added Ennis. “I knew he’d be durable. That’s why I didn’t jump on the gas right away. I just took my time and broke him down.”

A la sisena ronda, Ennis poured it on Lipinets from all angles as he beautifully assembled combinations. The budding superstar has yet to go past the sixth round in his professional career as he has amassed a remarkable 89% nocaut en proporció. Ennis was up 49-45 on two scorecards and 50-44 on the final judges’ card prior to the right hook to left uppercut combination that resulted in the fight being stopped at 2:11 de la sisena ronda. Saturday night marked Ennis’ first time headlining SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING

“I think I graduated tonight,” stated Ennis. “It’s on the up and up now. It’s onto bigger and better fights now.”

En la baralla co-estel·lar per SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, a pair of hard-hitting welterweights went toe-to-toe as Eimantas Stanionis (13-0, 9 KOs) beat former world title challengerThomas Dulorme (25-5-1, 16 KOs) via unanimous decision in a WBA Welterweight Title Eliminator. This was the most difficult challenge of the rising 26-year-old’s career as Dulorme took him past the ninth round for the first time. The three ringside judges scored the fight 115-113, 116-112 i 117-111.

“It’s been a dream since I was a kid watching SHOWTIME to be on this stage,” said Stanionis. “I’m proud of what I’ve achieved. I’ve had a long hard journey to get here, but it’s been worth it.”

The two fighters combined for nearly 1,400 punches in their exciting welterweight battle. Stanionis outlanded the 31-year-old Dulorme 232 a 193 and edged his opponent with higher connection percentages across the board. Most notably, Stanionis worked well behind his powerful jab, aterratge 123 total throughout the 12-round fight.

“Dulorme always threw back at me, even if I hurt him,” stated Stanionis, who is one step closer to becoming Lithuania’s first world champion. “I knew that if I was wild, he could have caught me with a good shot. I have more confidence in myself now because I know I can go 12 rounds with a good fighter. I know how the pressure will hit me now. Qualsevol cosa pot passar en aquest esport, so I made sure I was prepared coming into this fight.”

Al 10º ronda, a nasty cut opened above the left eye of Dulorme which was ruled by referee Harvey Dock to have resulted from a punch. The fight came to a fantastic finish as the Lithuanian prospect went for the knockout in the 12º round but the veteran Dulorme did not subdue to the pressure.

A l'obertura de la televisió, IBF Junior Bantamweight World Champion Jerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas (31-1-2, 22 KOs) successfully defended his title for the ninth time with a unanimous decision victory over Jonathan Rodríguez (21-2, 16 KOs) in an action-packed 12-round affair. The victory extends Ancajas’ streak of consecutive title defenses to nine, which marks the most of any current world champion. Fighting out of the Philippines, the 29-year-old controlled the pace of the fight with a consistent dedication to the body, where he landed 131 de la seva 232 cops totals.

“I’m very happy to get the win. I waited a long time for the opportunity to get back in the ring and it’s exciting to win in my first fight on this stage fighting on SHOWTIME,” said Ancajas. “This was my toughest fight so far. It was the hardest of any of my nine defenses and it’s exciting that it was on a big card. I trained hard for this opportunity and it feels great to get the win.”

The title fight featured back-and-forth action with Mexico’s Rodriguez pressuring and baiting the champion to fight him at close distance. At the end of the eighth round, Ancajas finished a flurry of punches with a huge right hand that sent Rodriguez to the canvas for the first time in his career.

“I thought he was going to be stopped because I saw him look at his corner and it didn’t look like he wanted to go on,” continued Ancajas. “But he got up and fought and I respect him for doing that.”

The ringside judges scored the fight 115-112, 116-111 i 117-110 for Ancajas, while unofficial ringside scorer Steve Farhood tallied the fight at 114-113. Farhood agreed with the three official judges in giving the final three rounds to Rodriguez. Tot i deixar caure la decisió, the 25-year-old Rodriguez impressed fight fans with his tremendous determination and high-level skill in his first world title fight and U.S. debut.

“I don’t think it was a just decision,"Va dir Rodriguez. “I thought maybe a split decision, and I would accept it a little more. But we knew coming in that the judges were against us in this fight.”

La nit de divendres, BELLATOR on SHOWTIME took center stage at Mohegan Sun Arena with the first fight of the BELLATOR MMA Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix that saw current heavyweight champion Ryan Bader avenge his 2012 loss to Lyoto Machida with a dominating unanimous decision to move onto the next round. Bader made an appearance on Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast to reflect on his impressive victory.

“It was very sweet [to get revenge]. It was a gauge to see how far I’ve grown, des 2012. And I’ve done a lot, and he’s done a lot. So to go out there and implement my game plan and stick to what we do and go out there and be victorious, it couldn’t be sweeter.”

Dissabte de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will replay Sunday, Abril 11 a 9 a.m. ET/PT and Tuesday, Abril 13 a 10 p.m. ET on SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Veteran sportscaster Brian Custer hosted the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast while versatile combat sports voice Mauro Ranallo handled blow-by-blow action alongside Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and three-division world champion Abner Mares.

He’s a good guy so I’m rooting for him. But if I have to fight him, I know he’s tough. I’m in this tournament and I ran through another tournament before. I had fun so that’s why I came down here. It doesn’t matter who’s in my way. I want that belt back and this was the first step right here.

“There’s redemption this whole tournament. I got one back on Machida but I’ve lost to Nemkov and I’ve lost to Anthony Johnson, so I would like to meet one of them in the finals. But honestly, to make it to the finals and fight for the belt, I’d be happy with whoever it is.”

#2-Liz Carmouche (15-7) derrotat Vanessa Porto (22-8) per decisió unànime (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)
Carmouche: “As soon as they say I’m clear and I’m good, I’m ready to get right back into fighting camp and go for the belt. If I don’t get a title shot, I’d be disappointed of course. I came in here with the hopes that I would work up the ranks to fight for the title. I just need to know what I need to do. You tell me who I need to beat to get that fight and I’ll do it. I certainly hope that taking somebody who has more fights than I do and beating her tonight would put me in contention for that belt.”

#3-Adam Borics (17-1) defeated#8-Jeremy Kennedy (16-3, 1 NC) per decisió unànime (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)
Borics: “I don’t care who my next opponent is, but just give me the winner of the [Featherweight World Grand Prix] torneig. I’m definitely next in line. My goal is to get the winner but let’s see what BELLATOR wants. I am really happy I got this opportunity to fight during these crazy times. I feel that I am ready for a title. I have eight or nine fights with BELLATOR so yes, I would like to fight for the title next.”

#3-Cat Zingano (12-4) derrotat Olivia Parker (4-2) a través de la submissió (armbar) a 2:56 de la primera ronda
Zingano: “I want to go against the best. I know who’s the best. I know these two girls [Cris Cyborg and Leslie Smith] have a fight coming up in a couple months and I’d love to get a shot at the belt over here in BELLATOR. That would mean a lot to me.”

Dan Moret (15-6) derrotat #3-Yamauchi dalt (25-5) per decisió dividida (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

Rising welterweight star Jaron "Botes" Ennis was interviewed on the telecast ahead of his SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event debut tomorrow night against former 140-pound world champion Sergey Lipinets.

“You’re going to see a lot of speed, energia, and me having fun. It’s about making statements and getting knockouts at the end of the night,” said the 23-year-old Ennis, who will be taking on the toughest challenge of his career in Lipinets as he pursues a world title shot. “It’s going to be a great opportunity for me to headline my first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING and it’s the start of me being a pay-per-view star. It’s only up after this. It’s time for me to do my thing tomorrow night.”
