Джим “J.R.” Рос и Al Bernstein called the action from ringside on CBS Sports Network in North America and internationally via ESPN.

Стив Claggett (L) upset Emmanuel Robles
Claggett, борба от Калгари, Канада, dropped down one weight class. Coming off a disputed 10-round decision loss to Крис ван Херден миналия април, also at the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center, Claggett won a 10-round majority decision (98-92, 98-92, 94-96)тази вечер for the vacant North American Boxing Association (Също) welterweight title. His expert body work allowed him to dictate the pace of the boxing match.
This is a long time coming, Claggett admitted. “I took the loss (срещу. Ван Heerden) in stride, vowing to go back to the gym and make changes. I went down to 140 (паунда.) and it was the right decision. I’m stronger. I I really worked hard.
I landed a couple of shots that hurt him noticeably. Той е труден. Robles is a champion in the making. Имам голямо уважение към него. Това е моят живот. То (his loss to van Heerden) fueled me. The fire’s back in me. I love fighting in Las Vegas.
NeecoThe RoosterMacias (L) stole the show to became a rising star
The co-feature showcased a pair undefeated junior middleweights and from the opening bell it was a real firefight. Macias forced Роландо “Rola” Гарса (9-1, 6 Нокаута), a 3-time Mexican National amateur champion, to fight his fight. Macia’s aggressive style, always coming forward, throwing punches from every conceivable angle, ruled the coop. Garza got caught up in the action and paid for it, although the score after was 39-37, 39-37 for Macias, 39-37 for Garza, entering the fifth and final round. Macia’s constant pressure controlled the action, wearing down Garza, and paid dividends as he dropped Garza in the fifth. Рефер Джей Нади had seen enough, halting the fight at that point as much due to the damage Garza had suffered in the first four rounds as the knockdown.
A rising star was born in Macia, who captured the vacant World Boxing Association (WBC) United States junior middleweight championship. “It’s conditioning, a lot of work,” Macias explained the reason for his non-stop action before crowing loudly in the ring. “I stuck to the game plan. I knew he’d come to fight with a lot of skill to out-box me and get points. My game plan was throw a lot of upper cuts and punches from every angle. It was all about throwing combinations.
He had a lot pf power, so I used defense to block punches. In the last round, I put punches together. I think the fight was stopped a little early and he could have kept going, but I didn’t see what he saw, and the referee was looking out for the fighters so we can fight another day.
Jeremy Nichols remained undefeated
In the television opener, flashy Las Vegas welterweight JeremyJ-FlashNichols (6-0, 2 Нокаута) kept rolling, winning a 4-round unanimous decision over Стив Belmontes (2-1, O KOs). Nichols outworked his opponent, consistently beating Belmontes to the punch with his superior quickness.
I think it could have been a little flashier,” Nichols admitted. “But give it up to my opponent, he came to fight. С повече от 100 любителски битки, he could take a punch but he kept coming. My goal was to take everything from him and make him fight my fight. His hands were a little slower and he took a lot of good body shots and counters.
Marina Ramirez (R) was a crowd pleaser
Idaho junior flyweight Marina “Скалист” Ramirez (40-36, 40-36, 40-36) pitched a 4-round shutout, побеждаване RachelThe Black WidowSazoff (0-2) от десетки 40-36 повсеместно. “I landed a lot of shots,” Ramirez noted. “I respect her, she was tough. The game plan worked and we got the win.
Randy Moreno (L) keeps improving
Twenty-year-old Randy Moreno (4-0, 3 Нокаута) turned in the best performance of his young career, stopping Australian junior lightweight “12” Gaige Ireland (2-1-2, 2 Нокаута) в третия кръг. Moreno fights with the poise of a much older fighter, effectively counter punching from the opening bell. “Тя се чувства страхотно,” Moreno commented. “I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t forGil Martinez (главата треньор). He is notorious for his training methods and it’s paid off. I’ve been with him 10 години. Fighting here at home means the world to me.
Ismail Muwendo (L) остана непобеден
Непобеждаван лека перспектива IsmailSharp ShooterMuwendo, fighting out of Minneapolis by way of his native Uganda, подобрени, за да 18-0 (12 Нокаута), taking a one-sided six-round unanimous decision from Eliseo Cruz (9-2-1, 6 Нокаута). “I think I did well, I was out of the ring a long time,” Muwendo commented. He’s a tough guy who was ready.
Max Ornelas (R) opened the show in grand style
Las Vegas favorite MaxBaby Face AssassinOrnelas (4-0, 2 Нокаута) remained unbeaten by way of a 4-round unanimous decision over Jonathan “Johnny BoyQuiorz (6-5, 1 KO). “I was confident (of winning the decision,” the 18-year-old Ornelas said. “I was out-boxing him. I love fighting here. I have a lot of support from family and friends; I’m motivated when I hear them.

The “The” must go in co-feature showdown at “Knockout Night at the D” between Undefeated junior middleweight prospects Rolando Garza & Neeco Macias

На живо Седем. 9 on CBS Sports Network from the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center
LAS VEGAS (Август 30, 2016) – In a classic match-up of contrasting styles, Роландо “RolaГарса и NeecoThe RoosterMacias will both put their undefeated records on the line in the “Knockout Night at the D” 8-round co-featured event, проветряване Петък нощ, Септември 9, на CBS Sports Network, live from the outdoor Downtown Las Vegas Събития Center (DLVEC).
The “Knockout Night at the D” серия, представен от

and DLVEC, is promoted by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) боксови Промоции. Hall Of Fame announcers Джим “J.R.” Рос и Al Bernstein will call all of the action from ringside, като се започне от 11 p.m. И / 11 p.m. И, по CBS Sports Network.

The 10-round main event pits unbeaten junior welterweights Emmanuel “RenegadeRobles (15-1-1, 5 Нокаута) и Стив “Драконът” Claggett(23-4-1, 16 Нокаута),promoted in association with Bobby D Presents, for the vacant North American Boxing Association (Също) – United States junior welterweight championship.
Garza and Macias (12-0, 6 Нокаута), who will be fighting for the vacant WBCUS junior middleweight championship, are exact opposites in and out of the ring. The winner will advance to the next level of competition in the 154-pound division.
A technically sound boxer, Garza had an extensive amateur background as a member of the Mexican National Team, finishing with a 120-12 рекорд, before turning pro September 29, 2012. The quiet, unassuming fighter 24-year-old was impressive in his last fight, also at the DLVEC this past Юни 10, in which he dominated previously unbeaten Erasmo Garcia (5-0-1) on his way to an 6-round unanimous decision (59-54, 59-54, 58-56) победа.

The opportunity that Roy Jones Jr Boxing Promotions and CBS Sports Network has presented me has boosted my confidence to another level,” Garza said. “I have never been more confident in my skills, my team and training. I’m going to show Las Vegas and the rest of country what my talent brings into the ring. Once Las Vegas witnesses my talent, биете по националната телевизия, no one will be able to turn a blind eye. Not only will this fight put my name out there, but better opportunities will present themselves, and that keeps me motivated.

This fight will propel me into the 154-pound rankings. It’s high risk with an even higher reward: WBC / US title. My opponent is a brawler; a non-stop, aggressive puncher who moves forward, which will make this fight nothing short of explosive fireworks in the ring.
In the other corner, the non-stop Macias relies on conditioning and an aggressive, always coming forward approach to break down his opponent. The 25-year-old Macias, fighting out of Palm Desert, Калифорния, unlike Garza, who now lives and trains in Austin (TX), had only 30 amateur bouts having started boxing at the relative advanced age of 21. He did win gold medals at the National Blue & Gold Tournament, as well as Central California Golden Gloves and Desert Showdown. Macias is a showman, playing to the crowd before, during and after fights, crowing like a rooster, always with a broad smile on his face.

Maciaslast fight, also at the DLVE this past Април 16, resulted in an action-packed fight against Limberth Ponce(10-2). Never tasking his foot off the pedal, Macias rolled to a win by 8-round unanimous decision (79-73 X 3), earning him a legion of new fans who were in attendance or watched the fight on CBS Sports Network.

Fighters don’t really care who they fight, they just want to fight,” Macias explained why his risking his undefeated record against an opponent who has never loss. “I had a fight fall through so, instead of waiting for another fight, when the opportunity to fight a 9-0 guy came, my coaches watched film of him and we agreed that I’m ready. This is the first time I’m fighting on the ‘Bside, but we’re using that as motivation. I take one fight at a time but I know I’m fighting on TV and need to look good. I want to show everyone that all the hard work has paid off.
I see this fight as my opponent probably having more skill, he’s technically sound and sets up his shots. But our plan is to take him out of his game plan, wear him down and have some fun doing it. My last fight was my first in Las Vegas and first time fighting on national television. It got a lot of notice. I’ve been through all of that now and will be even better prepared for this fight. It’s awesome fighting in Las Vegas on CBS Sports Network!”

Robles vs. Claggett, promoted in association with Bobby D Presents, is the 10-round main event for the vacant North American Boxing Association (Също) – United States junior welterweight championship.
Седем. 9тата has the potential to be the most explosive top-to-bottom card in the already praised 2016 “Knockout Night at the D” серия, which consistently showcases утрешнияstars in highly competitive, compelling match-ups.
“Knockout Night at the D’ is truly establishing itself in Downtown Las Vegas as a premier event for boxing fans in the community and beyond,” каза Derek Stevens, Owner and CEO of the D Las Vegas and DLVEC. “From hometown heavy-hitters to up-and-coming amateur fighters, the second half of this series will bring unforgettable, action-packed shows that can’t be missed.

I am excited to showcase my skills once again as the main event on a Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions card,” Роблес каза. “Both of my promoters, RJJ & Bobby D, are presenting me with such an incredible opportunity to fight for the Regional NABA Title belt. My opponent is in for the boxing lesson of his life. I know Claggett will be a strong contender and brings a power punch to the table. He is going to be challenging, the toughest opponent I’ve had to face thus far in my boxing career, but I am ready to show my opponent and his team the skills that will help me capture the title and bring it home to RJJ and my team.
It’s an honor to display my superior boxing skills for Roy Jones Jr. on CBS Sports Network and I am humbled that Las Vegas has accepted me with such open arms. Defeating Claggett will put me on the map as a contender for the top 140-pounders in the world such as (Ейдриън) Broner, (Терънс)Crawford & (победител) Postal.
The 27-year-old Claggett (23-4-1, 16 Нокаута) needs to bounce back from a disputed 10-round loss by majority decision the Крис ван Херден in his last fight this past April, also at the DLVEC, to revitalize his career. Claggett is taking a risk by dropping down one weight class in order to challenge junior welterweight Robles.

“Тази борба означава всичко за мен,” Claggett explained. It is a make or break fight for my career and I have a chance to re-enter the boxing world at 140 паунда, which is a weight that I believe I should have been fighting at a little while ago. I have a new trainer for the first timea new teamand I am looking forward to showing fans a new fighter. A victory will stamp my name as a true world champion contender. I understand my position and I know that I am on the ‘Bside, but I have been in this position many times before. I have a lot of experience in the sport of boxing and it has finally all come together for me. This will be my best fight. My focus and training will show on fight night.

My opponent is a strong fighter. Robles is a sharp boxer and he has a good history in the sport as well. He is a southpaw and brings a good record to the table. All respect to the Robles team, but I am ready to fight for my life, and this is what this sport is all about. Expect me to bring everything I have and put on a ’10war for the fans.
A firefight is developing for the 8-round co-feature between unbeaten prospects Роландо “Rola” Гарса (9-0, 6 Нокаута) и NeecoRosterMacias (12-0, 6 Нокаута), who will throw-down for the vacant WBCUS junior middleweight championship.

“The heavyweight division is experiencing an incredible resurgence, and the featherweight division is rife with compelling matchups,"Заяви Стивън Еспиноза, Изпълнителен вицепрезидент & General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports. “Martin vs. Joshua is a can’t-miss showdown between a newly minted American champion and one of the sport’s fastest-rising stars. And Selby vs. Hunter has major implications in the talent-rich division. We are proud to work with Matchroom Sport to deliver these pivotal matchups to the U.S. audience.”

“I’m the Heavyweight Champion of the World, and that’s why I have no problem traveling to England for my first title defense,” Martin said. “I only want to fight the best, and I plan on knocking Anthony Joshua out and taking his fans and the belt back with me.”

“The O2 is going to be rocking on Април 9 and the U.S. fans are in for a treat when they see Charles and I clash,” Joshua said. “Credit to him for coming over after calling me out, but he doesn’t know what he’s getting himself in for. I am going to show all my power, all my speed and all my accuracy to put on the best display of my life and become the Heavyweight Champion of the World by knocking him out. I’m delighted that fans in the U.S. will be able to witness it.”

“After a great experience in my first defense in Arizona against Фернандо Монтиел, it’s nice to be back in front of my home fans at The O2 in London,” Selby said. “It’s going to be a crazy atmosphere with a 20,000 person sold-out arena. Hunter has talked a lot of trash and I’m looking forward to showing him what it’s like at the world championship level. He’s in for a shock.”

“He’s got a belt I want, and that’s all I know about him,” Hunter said. “My team knows more about him than I do. It’s their job to come up with a game plan. My job is train and get ready to perform my best. I can adjust to anything in the ring. I’m just here at the gym working my butt off to get the job done. I’m going to be more focused than I ever have been for this fight.”

The 6-foot-5 Martin won the IBF championship on Jan. 16 когато Вячеслав Glazkov suffered a knee injury in the third round of their vacant world title fight. In capturing the IBF belt, Лястовица, Св. Louis, Мо, became just the sixth southpaw heavyweight champion in boxing history and the second current American heavyweight titlist.

While Martin has stopped his last 13 opponents and was the aggressor against Glazkov, the undefeated champ remains virtually untested. His first title defense and initial start outside the U.S., will take place at what is expected to be a pro-Joshua arena in London that sold out in just 90 секунди. The 29-year-old Martin, who is trained by U.S. Олимпиец Henry Tillman in Big Bear, Калифорния., will be Joshua’s first professional southpaw opponent.

Joshua had a standout amateur career that culminated with an Olympic Gold Medal at super heavyweight in the 2012 Олимпийски игри в Лондон. Since turning professional in July 2013, the 6-foot-6 Joshua has steadily climbed through the ranks.

One of boxing’s most promising prospects, Joshua is coming off consecutive victories over previously undefeated opponents. В последния си двубой, the 26-year-old was pushed past the third round for the first time in his career. Joshua defeated Dillian Whyte via seventh-round knockout on Декември. 12. Сега, Joshua returns to The O2, the site of his professional debut and five of his 15 професионални двубои, in a bid to join Тайсън Fury as the second current reigning British heavyweight champion.

Joshua is also looking to become the sixth super heavyweight Olympic Gold Medalist to win a heavyweight world title. If successful, he will join an impressive group that includes George Foreman, Джо Фрейзър, Ленъкс Люис иВладимир Кличко.

Роден в Бари, Уелс, Selby won his world title with a dominant technical decision over previously undefeated Evgeny Gradovich през май 2015. The slick boxer made his first title defense in his U.S. debut last October, capturing a unanimous decision over former three-division champ Fernando Montiel.

The 29-year-old owns a slew of victories over previously unblemished fighters including Joel Brunker, Райън Walsh, Виорел Simon, Corey McConnell иStephen Smith. Той е печелил 18 straight since the lone blemish of his career, and six of his last eight victories came over previously undefeated opponents.

Ловец, who will take a four-fight win streak into his initial start outside the U.S., has always possessed an abundance of talent. Преди да превърнете професионалиста, the Philadelphia native was an outstanding amateur and an alternate on the U.S. Олимпийски отбор.

The fast-handed 29-year-old has scored some solid victories as a pro, and his biggest enemy in a nine-year career has been himself – the switch-hitter doesn’t always keep his composure in check and allows his emotions get the best of him. Two of Hunter’s three losses came by disqualification, the last coming via DQ in 2013 срещу Майк Оливър for hitting at the break. The other came againstLuis Franco в 2010, when he had a point deducted in the second and was DQ’d in the eighth after repeated low blows.

If Hunter can keep his hot head from getting him in trouble, he’s confident he can upset Selby and join Лео Santa Cruz и Гари Ръсел Jr. as U.S.-born world champion at 126 паунда.

БИЛИ ДЖО СОУНДЪРС ДЕТРОНИ И ЕНДИ ЛИ СЪБОТА СЕ СТАНА Дванадесетият настоящ британски световен шампион на SHO EXTREME® ОТ МАНЧЕСТЕР,ENGLAND

NEW YORK (Декември. 19, 2015) - Били Джо Сондърс свален от трона Световен шампион на WBO в средно тегло Andy Lee с решение с мнозинство от 12 кръга в събота ПОКАЗВАНЕ НА БОКС МЕЖДУНАРОДЕН от Манчестър, Англия.

 

Борбата, който беше отбелязан 115-111, 114-112 и 113-113, ще се излъчи отново тази вечер в 9 p.m. И/PT на SHO EXTREME.

 

В съвпадение на тактически южни лапи, експлозивен трети рунд от Сондърс (23-0, 12 Нокаута) беше разликата. Британският претендент изхвърли Лий два пъти - първо с голяма дясна кука и отново с контра вдясно 30 секунди по -късно - и замаян Ли някак си оцеля 10-7 кръг. ВИДЕО АКТУАЛНО: http://s.sho.com/1OfibYe

 

Ирландският Лий (34-3-1, 24 Нокаута) се бори обратно и беше по -агресивният боец ​​в шампионските кръгове, но това не беше достатъчно, за да компенсира бавния старт и двата нокдауна.

 

С тази победа, Сондърс стана 12тата настоящ световен шампион на Великобритания.

 

„Аз съм световен шампион,- каза Сондърс. „Днес победих добър шампион, добър здрав шампион. Използвах силата му срещу него. Когато боксирах, той стана малко небрежен и изпусна водещата си ръка и аз го хванах с куката.

 

„Няма да започна да си пускам устата, но беше добър изстрел. С някой толкова бърз като мен трябва да държиш ръцете си вдигнати. Не съм най -големият перфоратор в света, но там ви показах, че мога да пробивам. "

 

WBA в средна World Champion Daniel Jacobs, свеж от нокаут от първи рунд Питър Килин преди две седмици по SHOWTIME, беше гост -анализатор в събота от Ню Йорк.

 

„Мислех, че ще стане голям скандалист, Мислех, че има по -добри активи,- каза Джейкъбс за Лий. „Той не направи достатъчно за мен. Той беше твърде самодоволен и след нокдауна не видяхте онова чувство за неотложност, което един боец ​​трябва да има по следата за завръщане.

 

„Всички заслуги благодарение на Били Джо, но това не беше впечатляваща победа. "

 

След гледане на битката, Джейкъбс не беше готов да се ангажира с обединителен сблъсък в 2016 с победителя.

 

„Ще направим всичко, което има смисъл,- каза Джейкъбс. „Мисля, че е време да седнем и да разберем какво има смисъл. Очевидно е подходящ момент да станеш шампион в средна категория. "

He’s not good enough to beat me.– Andy Lee

“I’m not going to leave that ring without the title.” – Billy Joe Saunders

SHO VIDEO: HTTP://s.sho.com/1ROfSkF

NEW YORK (Декември. 15, 2015) – WBO Middleweight World Champion Andy Lee и непобеден Challenger Били Джо Сондърс held separate media workouts in Manchester, Англия, as they conclude preparations for their eagerly awaited showdown this Събота, Декември. 19, live on SHO EXTREME (5 p.m. И/PT)от Манчестър Арена.

 

Ирландия Lee (34-2-1, 24 Нокаута) will make the first defense of his 160-pound title against England’s Saunders (22-0, 12 Нокаута), the WBO’s No. 1 средната категория.

 

The SHOWTIME Бокс INTERNATIONAL предлагане наBoxNation telecast will feature analysis from SHOWTIME boxing experts Brian Къстър, Al Bernstein и Поли Malignaggibefore and after the world championship showdown. An encore presentation of the bout will air on SHO EXTREME later that evening at 9 p.m. И/PT.

 

Here’s what Lee and Saunders had to say at their media workouts on Tuesday and Понеделник, съответно:

 

ANDY LEE:

“I have a punch that can end a fight, lights out, in any given second.

 

“I won’t rely on the punch. I will look to dominate from the start with educated pressure.

 

“I’m feeling very dangerous at the moment.

 

“Saunders’ unbeaten record is a disadvantage. He’s always been in fights he’s expected to win and has been well managed by(Откровен) Гъсто населена бедняшка къща.

 

“I’ve never lost a fight on points and I never will on points. If I’m down on the cards I will go out swinging in the last round.

 

“Saunders being a fellow traveler does add another layer, but at the end the day it’s about how good you are and he’s not good enough to beat me.”

 

BILLY JOE SAUNDERS:

“I’m ready to go for Събота нощ. This is the best camp that I’ve ever had. I’m prepared for the toughest test of my career, but I know that I’m in excellent shape to win this fight and become world champion.

 

“Andy Lee is a tough fighter – he’s proved that by becoming world champion and having the type of career he has had. But I’m undefeated and hungry and know that I’m on the brink of fulfilling a childhood dream. I’m not going to leave that ring without the title.

 

“Training in Spain allows me to lock myself away from all distractions and focus solely on the fight. It’s hard being away from home, but it’s all part of boxing. It’s been a long camp, a tough camp, but after that I know that I’m ready to go through hell to make sure that I’m successful come fight night.

 

“The middleweight division is one of the hottest around and I’m prepared to fight any of the other champions in there once I win the title.

 

"Danny Jacobs had a great win against Питър Килин, and then there is Canelo (Alvarez) и (Генадий) Golovkin. I know the importance of this fight for the division and I want my name to be among the very best. I’m taking it one step at a time, but I’m open to fight anyone.

 

“There has been no trash talk with Andy because we know what each person is about. We share a similar background and neither of us is going to take a back step.

 

“This is going to be a very exciting all-action fight because we’re going to leave it all in the ring. I know I have the skills to beat him and I intend to show the world why I’m among the best around.”

 

Saunders on fellow Brit Chris Eubank Jr.:

“The truth of the matter is that Eubank Jr. does not belong at the world level – he’s a phony. Това е толкова просто като това. I wasn’t impressed with his win over Гари О’Съливан, who I’ve already beat. He thinks he can fool the public with a win like that, but he can’t.

 

“His aim now is to move up and fight the best guys in the world, but we saw what happened the last time he stepped up a notch and faced me: he was badly exposed. The same thing will happen with him if he fights someone like Danny Jacobs for the WBA title.

 

“You’re not the best middleweight in your own country and you want to fight a world champion and say you’re going to beat him? I think it’s a delusion and he thinks he’s greater than he actually is.

 

“Sooner rather than later he’s going to get exposed again as the fraud that he is. You can keep talking, but eventually you have to back it up in the ring against top-level fighters. He’s won his last fight and now he’s back talking (ругатня) again like he’s the best fighter in history.

 

“If he has the balls to fight again, which I doubt, I would happily hand him another beating, this time in even more convincing fashion.”
