STEP, TX. (Apríl 28, 2018) – Rugged veteran contender Josesito Lopez (36-7, 19 KO) získal jednomyseľné rozhodnutie Miguel Cruz (17-1, 11 KO)in a welterweight attraction that headlined Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes Saturday night from Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas.

 

 

 

 

I beat a great undefeated fighter tonight and I was able to out class him,” Said Lopez. “I have some boxing ability clearly. I used my skills tonight. I felt that I dominated the pace, out worked him and I never let him do anything that hurt me.

 

 

 

 

Josesito was stronger than I thought,” povedal Cruz. “I took a little too long to get off and get going and it cost me.

 

 

 

 

The action began to heat up in round three as Lopez broke through and began landing flush on Cruz to the head. Lopez controlled the action against Cruz on the ropes and when the real estate shifted to the middle of the ring.

 

 

 

 

Cross, who stated before the fight that attacking the body would be key, was twice deducted points by referee Rafael Ramos for low blows, once in round five and again in round six. This forced Cruz to abandon his predominant strategy.

 

 

 

 

I didn’t agree with the calls on the low blows,” povedal Cruz. “I didn’t get a chance to work the body like I wanted. That was the plan coming in. They took it away from me.

 

 

 

 

This is just another step in my journey. I didn’t get hurt or anything. I just need to get better in the gym and keep working combinations. I just have to get better.

 

 

 

 

Under the guidance of renowned trainer Robert Garcia, Lopez boxed effectively and worked through the body attack and low blows to consistently win rounds and keep Cruz’s offense mostly at bay. Po 10 kolesá, judges ruled in favor of Lopez by scores of 98-90 a 99-89 dvakrát.

 

 

 

 

I think the biggest difference has been Robert Garcia in my corner,” Said Lopez. “He has me living a healthier lifestyle and that played a big part in my victory. I have an elite trainer who is training me like an elite fighter. I was one step behind in the past, but now I think I’ve made up that distance and then some.

 

 

 

 

Welterweight has a lot of good fighters, but I know I can compete with them. I’m a fan-friendly fighter who’s always going to leave it all in the ring.

 

 

 

 

The co-main event saw former world champion Anthony Dirrell (32-1, 24 KO) drop El Paso’s Abrahámovi (26-4, 16 KO) on his way to a unanimous decision in their 10-round super middleweight contest.

 

 

 

 

 

I thought I did well tonight boxing him for 10 kolesá,” Said Dirrell. “I didn’t think I lost a round. Two of the judges thought so but I can’t do anything about that. Urobil som to, čo som mal robiť.

 

 

 

 

Han has an incredible chin. He took everything I gave him. I even went to the body and gave it to him there. I was trying to go the body until the end but he still stood up. All I could do was keep pressuring him and get the victory.

 

 

 

 

Greeted by a chorus of boos upon entering the ring, Dirrell sent the hometown fighter to the canvas with a right hand to the head late in round one as the bell rang. Han tried to use his movement, switching stances and tying Dirrell up to frustrate his opponent, and had some success as the two men wrestled each other to the canvas in the waning moments of round four and continued to push and shove on the ground until they were broken up by referee Laurence and sent to their corners.

 

 

 

 

Han was able to occasionally land clean punches, but nothing that ever disrupted the attack from Dirrell, who was too consistent and sharp with his power punches. Han believed that his lack of an effective jab hurt him in this fight.

 

 

 

 

I wasn’t happy with my performance,” povedal Han. “I couldn’t get my jab going at all. If I had been more effective with that I think I would have been able to win more rounds.

 

 

 

 

Po 10 rounds of action, all three judges score the bout in favor of Dirrell by scores of 100-89 a 99-90 dvakrát. Dirrell, a former titleholder at 168-pounds vowed that he plans to fight one more time, for a world title.

 

 

 

 

The champions at 168-pounds better look out,” Said Dirrell. “It’s going to be my last fight but I’m hungry to win another title.

 

 

 

 

The opening bout of the telecast saw exciting featherweight contender Claudio Marrero (23-2, 16 KO) deliver a stunning one punch knockout of Jorge Lara (29-1-2, 21 KO) in the first round of their featherweight bout.

 

 

 

 

I knew he would be aggressive and we worked very hard in training camp to achieve this,” povedal Marrero. “I saw my opportunity and I knew that it was over once I connected.

 

 

 

I just got caught with a great punch,” Said Lara. “I wanted to be aggressive and give the fans a great show. It didn’t go my way. I’ll be back and I’ll be better. I’m going to get back to work and keep pushing toward my goals.

 

 

 

Lara charged forward in the opening seconds, but was caught by a perfect left hook from Marrero during one of the early exchanges in the fight and was sent to the canvas. While he tried to get to his feet, he was clearly hurt as referee Rocky Burke halted the bout 33 seconds into the opening round.

 

 

 

 

This was a message to the whole division,” povedal Marrero. “I’m a championship-caliber fighter and I showed it again tonight. I’m ready to take on every champion out there. I want the best challenges and I proved tonight that I’m able to beat anyone. I have all the skills and I can’t wait to show them off against the best.

JOSESITO LOPEZ

 

 

 

I’m well prepared for this fight, I’ve had a great camp with Robert Garcia. I have a tough unbeaten opponent who’s really good. I just have to prove I’m better on Saturday night.

 

 

 

I’m so excited to be finally fighting in Texas and I’ve gotten so much love and support already from this city. I can’t wait to give these fans a show.

 

 

 

This is the kind of fight that I can really display my skills. I’m going to show everyone the same heart that I always do, combined with some skills that Robert Garcia has helped get.

 

 

 

I’m going to be prepared for anything on Saturday. Cruz is unbeaten and that brings its own kind of mentality. I know I have what it takes to conquer this challenge and fight the best in the division.

 

 

 

This is going to be a textbook Josesito Lopez performance. I’m going to fight my hardest from bell to bell and take this victory home with me.

 

MIGUEL CRUZ

 

 

 

El Paso has been great to me and I’ve really enjoyed my time here. I’m in this city to fight. I’m here to come and prove myself in this welterweight division.

 

 

 

I have respect for what Josesito’s done in the game, but at the end of the day, this is the premier division in boxing. I feel I’m one of the best guys at 147 and I’ll be here for a while. I’m going to be a force.

 

 

 

I know Josesito is bringing the fight and I promise you I’m bringing it as well. I will come out on top. This is a can’t miss fight for sure.

 

 

 

I have to be smart and execute my game plan round after round. My jab will be key and if I can use that and wear him down to the body, I think I’ll have a great chance to stop him.

 

 

 

I know what it takes to win at this level now. I’ve gotten better each fight and I think my time is now. People are going to know my name after Saturday night.

 

ANTHONY DIRRELL

 

 

 

I plan on going in there and getting the victory. I know Han is a great fighter who will bring the best out of me. That’s what I need right now.

 

 

 

Come Saturday it’s going to be just another fight for me. I take everybody seriously. I know that anything can happen in that ring. I prepared well for this fight and I’m ready to get the win.

 

 

 

Everyone knows that I’m a championship-caliber fighter and I’ll prove it again on Saturday. Po tomto boji, I’m ready to take on any of the super middleweight champions. I’ll beat any of them.

 

 

 

I’m the best fighter that he’s ever going to fight and he will see that on Saturday. I’m going to leave no doubt.

 

ABRAHAM HAN

 

 

 

I’ve fought in many other people’s backyards so being able to fight here in my hometown is amazing. I turn it up to a different level here. The crowd will give me a big boost in energy and it’s going to help me get the win.

 

 

 

I hope the sports fans of El Paso come out and watch me put on a great performance. I know the type of challenge I have in front of me, but I also know that I have the skills to pull this off.

 

 

 

 

This is a great opportunity to show people outside of El Paso what kind of fighter I really am. I have a lot of experience and I’ve fought all over, but I don’t know if I’ve ever been more prepared for a fight.

 

 

 

Anthony Dirrell is a great champion but I’m a champion of this city. This is my chance to take down a big name and move to the next level of the sport.

 

jorge Lara

 

 

 

I’m going to leave the ring Saturday night with my hand raised. I’ve had a wonderful training camp and I prepared perfectly for this fight. It will show on fight night.

 

 

 

Marrero better be ready, because I’m going to come at him and look for the kill early. I want to make a statement and I’ll go through him to make it.

 

 

 

I’m very focused and ready to take home this win on Saturday night. The fans are going to love my style and the heart that I fight with.

 

CLAUDIO MARRERO

 

 

 

I hope that Jorge Lara is ready to fight on Saturday night. This is going to be a battle and I know that we’ll both leave everything in the ring.

 

 

 

I prepared well for this fight because I know that everything is on the line for me. I have to be victorious so I can go on and get where I want to in boxing.

 

 

 

I’m more skilled and more experienced than anyone that Lara has faced and on Saturday night I’m going to give him lots of problems.

STEP, TX. (Apríl 25, 2018) – Fighters competing on Saturday’s Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes card, headlined Josesito Lopez potýkali Miguel Cruz v welterweight akcii, participated in a media workout Wednesday in El Paso before they step into the ring at Don Haskins Center.

 

 

 

Also participating in the workout was former world champion Anthony Dirrell and El Paso’s Abrahámovi, who meet in a 10 round super middleweight clash, and featherweight brawlers Jorge Lara a Claudio Marrero, who compete in a 10 kolo boj.

 

 

 

Vstupenky na predstavenie, ktorá je podporovaná TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.

 

 

 

Here is what the fighters had to say Wednesday from Wolves Den Gym in El Paso:

 

JOSESITO LOPEZ

 

 

 

Having Robert Garcia in my corner has given me the training and preparation of an elite fighter. It’s a big difference. He’s one of the best trainers in the world and I’m going to help show that on Saturday.

 

 

 

I’ve been training with Robert for quite some time now. I’ve been getting sharp working with other elite fighters in the gym. It’s kept me on my toes and that’s what I needed.

 

 

 

Cruz is tough, he’s undefeated and he comes focused to win. He’s a good fighter but I’m here this week to prove that I’m a better fighter.

 

 

 

Experience will definitely play a big part. But I also don’t think he’s faced anyone with the skills I have. All of my losses are to great fighters. I feel like I’ve taken a big step forward here.

 

 

 

It feels great to be headlining in El Paso on FOX and FOX Deportes. I bring exciting fights and I’m always in wars. Saturday will be no different.

 

 

 

I’m really excited to finally be fighting in Texas, it’s something I’ve looked for and asked about for many years. Texas holds a big piece of my heart and I’m ready to give the fans here a show on Saturday.

 

MIGUEL CRUZ

 

 

 

This was an excellent training camp. It was a hard camp. It was extensive but I got through it and it has me feeling very prepared. It was absolutely the most strenuous camp I’ve had. I always train hard, but this one in particular, I had extra motivation.

 

 

 

To get the win I need to use my jab and work the body. There are more aspects of it, but those two things are essential for me winning this fight.

 

 

 

I’ve fought a lot of good, mladý, strong fighters recently. Past a certain level you learn that you can’t just knock everybody out. You learn to weather the storm and use your energy more efficiently. I’ve learned a lot about myself as a fighter.

 

 

 

Josesito throws looping punches. That’s tough because it’s a bit unconventional. He throws looping punches that can take away your equilibrium. He’s got a lot of experience and that’s definitely a major factor in what I’ve been preparing for.

 

 

 

It feels great to be on this stage, but at the same time I know I earned my spot to be here. I remember watching Josesito fighting in 2011 on the Mayweather vs. Ortiz undercard and I knew right then that I was going to be in the ring with these guys.

 

ANTHONY DIRRELL

 

 

 

I had a great, eight-week long training camp with great sparring. I feel good and I’m ready to fight for sure.

 

 

 

I know that Han is a warrior. He’s rugged and that’s why I chose to fight him here in his backyard. I know that he’s going to bring a fight for me.

 

 

 

It’s just going to be me and him in the ring. The audience can’t help him. All his fans can’t help him. Coaches can only help him between rounds. I’m going to block everything else out and just focus on him.

 

 

 

I just need to stick to what we worked on in training camp. We have to implement those strategies and you’ll see it come Saturday night.

 

 

 

I’m a better, stronger and wiser fighter these days. I’ve been through a lot to stay in world title contention. Everybody knows how badly I want my title back. V sobotu, everyone will see that I’m a champion. I’m ready for anyone with a belt.

 

ABRAHAM HAN

 

 

 

I’m so happy to be fighting at home on this big stage. In many ways this is a dream come true and something that’s been a long time coming. I can’t wait to perform in front of my people.

 

 

 

I know I’m the underdog versus Dirrell but that doesn’t bother me at all. I always train to be better than anyone expects me to be. This fight will be no difference.

 

 

 

This is a big fight for me and I’ve been training so hard to put on a great show for my hometown fans. This is a great fight town and I’m going to give the fans something to cheer about.

 

jorge Lara

 

 

 

I’m so excited to get in the ring. I’m still eating right now leading up to the weigh-in and I feel ready to go. I’m eager to step into the ring.

 

 

 

I’m not worried about Claudio Marrero. I’m just staying loose and focused on what I have to do. Marrero has to focus on me because he’s never fought a guy like me. I’m going to stay loose and bring the fight to him.

 

 

 

The world title is my destiny. This is one shot closer to a world title. I’m highly ranked but the champions don’t want to give me a chance. So I will have to fight my way there.

 

 

 

I’m like a dog going after a bone in the ring. I just want to fight. I’m here to take the fight right to him.

 

CLAUDIO MARRERO

 

 

 

It was a very hard training camp like always. I take it very seriously and I’m ready for this fight on Saturday night.

 

 

 

I know I’m facing a tough Mexican fighter who will leave it all in the ring. We worked very hard on a plan for him.

 

 

 

He must be mistaken if he thinks I’ve never seen a fighter like him before. It’s the other way around. He’ll definitely know what level I’m on after Saturday night.

 

 

 

My style is to both come forward, but have the ability to move backward. It’s all about what the fight dictates and what my corner wants.

JOSESITO LOPEZ

 

 

 

 

I feel really good physically and I’m excited for this fight. This is the kind of fight I’ve been looking for. I have a good undefeated opponent in front of me who’s coming to win. That motivates me.

 

 

 

 

I’m completely focused and I haven’t felt this good in a really long time. Dňa 28 I’m going to give it my all and come out with this victory. I refuse to lose this fight.

 

 

 

 

It’s been a dream to fight in Texas and I’m so happy to be here in El Paso. I’m going to embrace this challenge and give the fans what they deserve.

 

 

 

 

I know that I have to be ready for anything and with Robert Garcia in my corner, there’s no doubt I’ll be prepared. Cruz is young and hungry but I just have to show why I’ve been competing at a high level for so long.

 

MIGUEL CRUZ

 

 

 

 

 

I’m very excited to be here in this fight. I have a lot of respect for what Josesito Lopez has done in this game. There’s no doubt he’s an accomplished fighter. I believe this is my time.

 

 

 

 

I’m going to leave everything in the ring to win this fight. That’s what I feel in my heart. I believe in my training. I’ve been working and working and I know what’s in front of me.

 

 

 

 

This isn’t going to be easy. It won’t be easy for me and it sure won’t be easy for him. Don’t miss this fight on April 28.

 

 

 

 

This is going to be a great show from top to bottom. I know the Mexican fans in El Paso will be out in full. It’s an honor to compete on this stage against a great competitor. I’m ready for the test.

 

ABRAHAM HAN

 

 

 

 

I’m fighting a former world champion at 168-pounds. Anthony Dirrell is a great fighter and I know that I’m going to have to avoid his power. I’m going to be quick and use all my skills.

 

 

 

 

This is going to be a great fight on April 28. I’m fighting in my hometown of El Paso, and I do not lose here. Something about this town turns me into a ‘super saiyan.

 

 

 

 

I’m going to be strong and when I get the opportunity, I’m looking to hurt Dirrell. This is a fight that can get me to a world title fight.

 

 

 

 

My sister, (IBF Featherweight World Champion) Jennifer Han, was the first women’s world champion from El Paso. I’m looking to become the first male world champion from here. El Paso needs to come out and support one of itsown on April 28. This is a great fight town and we have a chance to show everyone on fight night.

 

jorge Lara

 

 

 

 

It’s an honor and a pleasure to be here in El Paso. I’m very motivated for this fight and honored to battle with Claudio Marrero.

 

 

 

 

We will leave El Paso with my hand raised. I know that this will be a tough fight, but I’m training very hard to get this win. This is a chance to prove that I deserve a world title shot.

 

 

 

 

I feel I’m ready to challenge anyone in the division right now. I’m going to earn it in the ring and keep working hard every day until I have that belt around my waist.

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Lopez’s Trainer

 

 

 

 

 

We have a great team in the gym and we’re focused on Josesito’s fight on April 28. We know Cruz is a tough fight. He’s an undefeated fighter that knows a win over Josesito could get him a title fight.

 

 

 

 

 

Since Josesito’s been with me we’ve been working hard and training for over two years. He’s improved so much and come April 28 he’s going to show everyone that he’s ready to challenge the world champions. We have to beat guys like Cruz to get to those fights.

 

 

 

 

The fans in Texas are always great. This is a great boxing city and every time we’re in El Paso we get nothing but love. We appreciate it and hope to see you all at the fight.

 

O’NEIL WATSON, Cruz’s Trainer

 

 

 

 

I have a young fighter who I’ve been with since he was twelve years old. He got his first win with me. I’ve been there to guide him through everything he’s done in boxing.

 

 

 

 

 

If you want to be a world champion, you have to be willing to fight guys like Josesito Lopez. We know what we’re preparing for and I know that Miguel Cruz is going to end the night with the win.

Vstupenky na predstavenie, ktorá je podporovaná TGB Promotions, sú dnes v predaji, Marec 28 na 10 a.m. MT a dá sa zakúpiť cez Ticketmaster.

 

 

 

“Toto je akčná šou, ktorá má všetky prvky, ktoré si fanúšikovia boxu obľúbili,” povedal Tom Brown, Prezident TGB Promotions. “Miguel Cruz je talentovaný stúpajúci uchádzač, ktorý urobí veľký krok proti skúsenému veteránovi v Josesitovi Lopezovi. Anthony Dirrell je bývalý majster sveta, ktorý sa túži dostať späť na titulný obrázok a Abraham Han z El Pasa má svoje vlastné ambície na titul.. A Jorge Lara a Claudio Marrero sú dvaja z najväčších priebojníkov v perovej váhe. Sľubuje, že to bude veľmi zábavná šou pre fanúšikov boxu.”

 

 

 

Lopez (35-7, 19 KO) je veteránom prevereným bojom, ktorý bol v ringu s niektorými z najlepších boxerov v tomto športe, vrátane Marcosa Maidanu, Saul “Canela” Alvarez a Jessie Vargas. 33-ročný Lopez z Riverside, Kalifornia zaznamenala jedno z najväčších víťazstiev v kariére, keď zastavila Victora Ortiza TKO 2012. Od prehry s Andre Bertom ťahá sériu dvoch víťazstiev a vo svojom poslednom zápase porazil Saula Corrala jednomyseľným rozhodnutím z apríla 9, 2017 naživo na FS1.

 

 

 

“Miguel Cruz nečelil bojovníkovi na mojej úrovni,” Said Lopez. “Som najskúsenejší bojovník, s akým Cruz bojoval. Som presvedčený o svojich schopnostiach a o tom, že zvíťazím. Som pripravený prejsť priamo cez Miguela Cruza a dokázať, že som jednou z najlepších welterových váh na svete.”

 

 

 

Cross (17-0, 11 KO) urobí veľký krok vpred vo svojej kariére, keď nastúpi proti Lopezovi. 27-ročný Cruz z jazera Mary, Florida bola členkou portorického národného tímu ako amatér a vychytala štyri víťazstvá 2017. Vo svojom poslednom boji bojoval s nepriazňou osudu prekonaním dvoch škrtov, aby dosiahol jednomyseľné rozhodnutie nad Davidom Graytonom v novembri. 21 na FS1 a tiež dvakrát porazil vtedy neporazeného Alexa Martina 2017 v dvojici vzrušujúcich súťaží na FS1.

 

 

 

“Som neuveriteľne nadšený, že mám zápas takéhoto rozsahu, pretože to je to, pre čo som vždy pracoval,” povedal Cruz. “Som pripravený otestovať svoje schopnosti proti niekomu, ako je Josesito Lopez. Patrím do novej éry v boxe, a v apríli zažiarim do sveta 28. Pre fanúšikov to bude úžasný boj a som pripravený na to, aby si každý užil môj výkon.”

 

 

 

Dirrell (31-1-1, 24 KO), bývalý majster sveta v super strednej váhe z Flintu, Michigan, v novembri na FS1 zvíťazil nad Denisom Douglinom. 33-ročný Dirrell získal titul jednomyseľným rozhodnutím nad Sakiom Bika v r. 2015 pred vypustením väčšinového rozhodnutia 2016 Badou Jackovi. Od tej straty, Dirrell vyhral štyri po sebe, vrátane víťazstva TKO nad aktuálnym majstrom sveta do 168 libier Calebom Truaxom v 2016.

 

 

 

“Abraham Han je dobrý bojovník, ktorý vyšiel z ťažkého žrebu s J'Leon Love, a chlap, za ktorého sa nedá obzrieť,” Said Dirrell. “Caleb Truax to dokázal, keď porazil Jamesa DeGalea o titul, takže sa teraz skutočne sústredím na tento boj. je vysoký, switch-hitter, ktorý prichádza priamo vpred, ale to nie je nič, čo by som nezvládol, pretože som vždy pripravený a vo forme držať sa svojho herného plánu a vykonať ho. Vždy hľadám knockout, a ak príde, potom to príde, a dostanem ho odtiaľ.”

 

 

 

On (26-3-1, 16 KO) sa už po deviatykrát vracia bojovať do svojho rodného mesta El Paso, vrátane víťazstva, ktoré získal v Don Haskins Center vo svojom piatom profesionálnom zápase. 33-ročný hráč sa chce odraziť po technickej remíze proti J'Leon Love v septembri minulého roka, v boji si mnohí mysleli, že Han vyhráva skôr, ako rozhodca zastavil boj kvôli poraneniu spôsobenému náhodným úderom hlavy. Vyhral tri súboje za sebou a smeroval do tohto súboja proti Láske.

 

 

 

“Anthony Dirrell ma pravdepodobne vníma ako niekoho, koho môže poraziť, kým bude čakať na titul, ale snažím sa pokaziť jeho plány,” povedal Han. “Cítil som sa, akoby som vyhral svoj posledný boj s J'Leonom a ľahko by som ho porazil, keby to nebolo zastavené. Toto je ďalšia skvelá príležitosť bojovať v mojom rodnom meste El Paso. Sústredím sa na to, aby som vyhrával každé kolo a predviedol skvelú šou pre svojich fanúšikov. Viem, že každý príde, podporí ma a pomôže mi priviesť ma k tomuto víťazstvu.”

 

 

 

Lara (29-0-1, 21 KO) zaznamenal dve víťazstvá, vrátane knockoutu proti bývalému šampiónovi Fernandovi Montielovi, keďže mal technickú remízu proti Jesusovi Rojasovi v 2015. Štyrikrát zrazil Montiela na ceste k stopke prvého kola v ich apríli 2016 zúčtovanie na FOX. 27-ročný južan z Guadalajary, Mexiko ukázalo ťažké ruky pre perovú váhu a v poslednom májovom zápase vyhralo TKO nad Mariom Brionesom. 20 na FS1.

 

 

 

“Trénoval som s bývalým šampiónom Alejandrom Gonzalezom, a štyri týždne po boji, Už som vo výbornej kondícii a v obrovskej bojovnej forme,” Said Lara. “Viem, že je to veľmi dôležitý boj, a že Marrero je veľmi ťažký súper, ale ja sa stanem víťazom, pretože som odhodlaný pokračovať na svojej ceste k zisku titulu majstra sveta. Po tom, uvidíme, ktorý šampión bude pripravený dať mi príležitosť.”

 

 

 

Marrero (22-2, 16 KO) jazdil sériu ôsmich víťazstiev, než prehral knockoutom s Jesusom Rojasom v jeho poslednom zápase. V rámci tejto série ôsmich víťazstiev dosiahol 29-ročný dominikánsky južan senzačné víťazstvo nad Carlosom Zambranom a získal dočasný titul v perovej váhe na FS1.. Jedinou ďalšou škvrnou na Marrerovom rekorde bola jednomyseľná prehra s bývalým majstrom sveta Jesusom Cuellarom v r. 2013.

 

 

 

“Teším sa, že budem bojovať v apríli 28 na tejto skvelej show v El Pase,” povedal Marrero. “Bojujem s neporazeným tvrdým mexickým bojovníkom, ale toto je ten typ boja, ktorý som chcel vrátiť do boja o titul. Som naozaj nadšený, že sa tam dostanem. Poď bojovať večer, uvidíte „Matrix“.’ v plnom rozsahu. Nenechajte si to ujsť, pretože to bude veľký boj.”

LAS VEGAS (Sedem. 8, 2017) – At 20 leta, 9 months old, David Benavidez became boxing’s youngest world champion – and the youngest ever in the super middleweight division – with a split decision victory over Ronald Gavril v piatok night on an exciting night of 168-pound action on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION zo Spoločného v Hard Rock Hotel & Kasíno. See the video of the decision via Twitter link TU.

 

Benavidez (19-0, 17 KO) placed the previously vacated WBC Super Middleweight belt around his waist after winning the title against former European amateur standout Gavril (18-2, 14 KO) in what Benavidez later described as quite possibly the “Fight of the Year.” One scorecard had Gavril winning 116-111, with Benavidez winning on the other two scorecards, 116-111 a 117-111 in the event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

“It feels amazing to win this title,” said the Phoenix resident Benavidez. “It’s everything I’ve dreamed about since I was a little kid. It’s everything I’ve dedicated myself to and I’ve worked hard for. It finally paid off.”

 

The 31-year-old Romanian Gavril, who trains at Mayweather’s Gym in Las Vegas by Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, sent Benavidez to the canvas with a left hook with just 50 seconds left in the wild 12th a posledné kolo.

 

“I feel I won the fight. I dominated the pace. I can’t say anything else other than it was up to the judges,” Gavril said, who was watched by his promoter all-time great Floyd Mayweather from ringside. “The only thing I can do is to ask for a rematch.”

 

Benavidez, who turned pro at age 16 and only had 15 amatérske zápasy, took control of the fight early on, but Gavril seemed to gain steam mid-fight, out-boxing and being more active than Benavidez in the seventh, ôsmeho a deviateho kola. In rounds 11 a 12, Benavidez out-landed Gavril 66-35 overall and 53-14 with power punches.

 

“I felt my performance was good except for the last round when I got too anxious and wanted to knock him out,”Povedal Benavidez. “I let my young side takeover and I wanted to give the fans a great fight. I didn’t really feel hurt but it was a shock knockdown. I know to be careful and more cautious. It was a learning experience.”

 

 

 

In another super middleweight contest, Abie Han suffered a devastating accidental head-butt againstJ'Leon Láska na 1:02 into the eighth round and the fight went to the scorecards. One judge had Las Vegas’ Love winning 79-73, and the other two 76-76 making the decision a technical majority draw.

 

Following an exchange of punches, Láska (23-1-1, 13 KO) leaned in and the two fighter banged heads in violent fashion. On (26-3-1, 16 KO) z El Pasa, Texas, was left stunned and fell to the floor as blood gushed from his forehead above his left eye and he was immediately checked on by referee Kenny Bayless.

 

On, who left the arena sitting up on a stretcher before hearing the decision, won the statistical battle in the ring. Han landed more blows (78-47 celkovo, 20-12 Jabs, 58-35 energie) and did so more accurately (24 percent to 17 percent overall, 16 percent to eight percent jabs and 30 percent to 27 percent power).

 

SHOWTIME boxing analyst Al Bernstein had Han winning by one point at the time of the stoppage.

 

“I can’t rate my performance as great because I didn’t get a victory, I got a draw,” said Love, who once trained at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit under Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward.

 

The 29-year-old Love ended nearly a one-year layoff with his return to the ring. “I’m kind of rusty but I feel like I pressed the action and tried to take it to him,"Povedal. “Other than that I feel like I landed the cleaner shots.”

 

V úvodnom zápase na televízne vysielanie, unbeaten super middleweight prospect Caleb Plant (16-0, 10 KO) recorded a 10-round shutout decision against a tough Andrew Hernandez (19-7-1, 9 KO), 100-90 trikrát.

 

Rastlina, who resides in Las Vegas by way of Ashland City, Tenn., was the more active fighter against the 31-year-old switch-hitting journeyman Hernandez, who took the fight on just eight daysnotice after Alan Campa dropped out. Plant jabbed effectively (81 na 271, 30 percento) while neutralizing Hernandez’s usually effective jab (46 na 325, 14 percento). Plant was also sharp with his power shots landing 44 percent to Hernandez’s 19 percento.

 

“I’m very pleased with my performance,” Plant said. “I boxed well and I dictated the pace. I pressed when I needed to press and boxed when I needed to box. I felt I put on a great show for the fans. I want to be star in boxing. I know with hard work I can accomplish anything.

 

“Hernandez is tough, I sent him with everything and he stood tall and my hats off to him. He’s a tough competitor.”

 

Hernandez, from Phoenix, Ariz., suffered a cut under his left eye in the third and it caused him problems throughout the fight, opening up and bleeding over the final two rounds.

 

“All respect to Caleb Plant on his performance tonight,” Hernandez said. “He put on a solid fight and he’s got a great future. I was happy I was able to stay in there and last the entire 10 kolesá.

 

“I felt Caleb won, but I don’t think it was 10 rounds to none. But that’s not for me to decide. It’s all up to the judges at the end of the day it only matters what they think.”

 

Plant added: “I’m ready to step up in competition and fight anybody in the top 10 of the super middleweight division. I got my eye on Benavidez and all the other world champions. I’m coming!"

 

Piatkové tripleheader will replay on Sunday, Sedem. 10, na 9 a.m. A/PT, a Pondelok, Sedem. 11, na 10 p.m. A/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® a SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

Na svojom nedávnom sústredení…
Training camp has been unbelievable. It’s no doubt, one of my best training camps ever. My weight is perfect and I couldn’t be happier with the way I’ve been looking in the gym. My trainer Justin Gamber is doing a phenomenal job, as well as my dad Richie. Larry Wade, my strength and conditioning coach, has got me in tip top shape.

The following is a training camp update from each of the fighters on tento piatkovej tripleheader.

 

David “El Bandera Roja” Benavidez

  • He trains out of The Summit Gym in Big Bear, Kalif.
  • His trainer is his father, Jose Benavidez Sr.
  • S víťazstvom, Benavidez (vek 20) would become the youngest Super Middleweight to ever win a world title and the youngest current world champion.
  • He’s very familiar with the gym because his brother Jose Benavidez Jr. (former WBA interim super lightweight champion) used to train there when he was active.

 

Benavidez on training camp:

“My training camps are always fairly long. I only take a week off after every fight and go back into training. For the first couple weeks, it’s just moving around, then we slowly work into the hard training. For this one, I probably had like a month and a half, two months.”

 

Na jeho súper:

“I feel like he [Ronald Gavril] has a really good style for me to showcase my skills, like how I did against Rogelio Medina. With our sparring partners, we have brawlers and we have boxers, tiež. Whatever style he fights on that night, I’m going to be prepared for it.”

 

Ronald “The Thrill” Gavril

  • He trains at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas.
  • He is a former European amateur standout.
  • His trainer is Eddie Mustafa Muhammad (65 rokov; former WBA light heavyweight world champion, retired in 1988 so záznamom 50-8-1, 39 KO).

Gavril on training camp:

“I feel really sharp and I’m really happy with how everything has gone during training. This is the opportunity that I’ve worked so hard to get to and I’m definitely not letting it slip by. I know that everything needs to be 100 percent on fight night so I’m pushing myself to be ready to do whatever it takes to leave with the belt.”

 

Na jeho súper:

“Benavidez is a strong guy who’s coming in with a lot of support behind him, but I’m not going to let any of that distract me from my preparation. Me and my trainer are going to have a great game plan for him. I know he wants to be active and smother me and we’re going to show him all of the parts of my game.”

Eddie Mustafa Muhammad:

“I got Ronald sparring with the IBF’s number-one super middleweight contender, Jose Uzcategui. He’s giving us good work, too—he can fight. We also sparred Badou Jack for a couple rounds. We’ve got an abundance of guys that we’re working with.

 

“The way they’re talking about Benavidez, it’s like he’s King Kong. But it’s good—perfect! Ronald is a boxer-puncher, he can adapt. That’s the whole key. He has a wealth of amateur experience. This is our opportunity. We’ve talked about this for a while now, and Ronald is at a point where he’s ready right now…It’s going to be a great fight.”

 

J'Leon Láska

  • He trains at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas.
  • His trainer is Theo Chambers.
  • He’s been in training camp for about five months

 

Love on training camp:

“My training camp—it’s been months! I started training in April. Being that we had fights fall out, I always stayed in the gym. That’s the hardest part, because I feel like I’ve had bad luck with fights falling out. But one thing I can say—we train our ass off! I just want to go on vacation after this.”

 

“We’ve had a lot of good sparring—Lionell Thompson and Denis Douglin have been in here working. We’ve had so many sparring partners throughout this camp, and we’ve just been working, working, working.

 

Na jeho súper:

“I remember Abie Han from the amateurs. He’s always been a tough fighter. You can’t look past anybody. Everybody comes in that ring to fight. Everybody comes in with a different mode or a different drive, so this may be the drive he has to really come out and explode on the scene and beat me. Tak, I’m taking him absolutely, positively serious, like he’s a world championship fighter and we’re fighting for the world title.”

 

Abraham “The Sun City Warrior” Han

  • Trains out of his father’s martial arts studio in El Paso, Texas (Han’s Martial Arts).
  • He is trained by Louie Burke — 56 rokov; former pro junior lightweight, retired in 1985 so záznamom 19-3, 12 KO; won the “ESPN Junior Lightweight Title” on Apr. 14, 1983, with a 12-round unanimous decision against Freddie Roach; also won a 10-round decision against Roach in the rematch on Nov. 10, 1983.
  • He has sparred with former world champion Austin Trout.

 

Han on training camp:

“I train at my dad’s martial arts studio in El Paso – Han’s Martial Arts. I’m sparring mostly with local people from El Paso, and I also sparred with Austin Trout.

 

“I’ve been working hard and working with Austin (Pstruh) and that makes a big difference. Austin makes me so much better. He’s been a world champion and he will be a world champion again. His expertise and his knowledge is amazing. He’s been in those situations and he tells me little things along the way and I think that will make all the difference in this fight.”

 

Caleb “Sweet Hands” Plant

  • Moved to Las Vegas from Nashville about a year ago to train
  • He is trained by Justin Gamber and his father Richie Plant.

 

Plant on training camp:

I’ve been living in Las Vegas for more than a year now – since August 24th, 2016. I’ve been in the gym consistently this whole time since my last fight, but my ‘officialtraining camp will be seven or eight weeks. We bounce around to a couple of different gyms for sparring. I’ve had good work this camp – great sparring, good strength and conditioning, good gym work, and I’ve had good rest. I have a good diet.

 

I know every boxer says, ‘Oh, this is my best camp,’ and a lot of times they don’t mean it. But this has literally been my best camp. Things are very smooth.”

 

Andrew Hernandez

  • He is managed by his wife Jacquie Hernandez and trained by Alan Beirs.
  • Alfred Quintana serves as his cut man and strength and conditioning coach.
  • A late replacement, Hernandez got the call on Aug. 29 and accepted the fight; contract signed the next day.
  • Trains at Gents Gym in Arrowhead, Ariz.

 

What Hernandez has to say:

I’ve known my trainer, Alan Beirs, for a while. He actually helped me with my last couple of fights – we’ve only been together maybe six months or so. He worked my corner in February, but we weren’t working completely together. Then when I got back in the gym in March, that’s when we really started working together.

 

I train at a place called Gents Gym in Arrowhead, Ariz. I trained there with the Busted Knuckles Boxing crew – that’s Alan Beirscrew. We’re all pushing each other to get better and I know they’ll have me ready for fight night.”

He was the next available contender when Anthony Dirrell pulled out. We expect fireworks. We expect to birth a new superstar. The most important thing is to determine in which round Gavril will be knocked out, because I believe that we’re talking about matching a jet plane against a helicopter.
