Le lundi, Septembre 21, 2020, les co-promoteurs Paco Presents et Fabrica De Campeones présenteront fièrement «SANTIAGO VS. GARCIA ”une nuit de cinq combats de boxe professionnelle de classe mondiale, diffusé en direct depuis Tijuana, Basse-Californie, Mexique, sur FITE.TV (9 pm ET / PT 18 heures) pour seulement $6.99.

Dans le cas de 10 tour principal, WBC #8 candidat aux poids coq Alejandro «Peque» Santiago (21-2-5, 11 KOs) retournera à son port d'attache de Tijuana pour défendre son championnat international des poids coq WBC contre Willibaldo Garcia (10-3-1, 5 KOs) de Copala, Guerrier, Mexique.


24-Santiago, un an, n'a plus perdu de combat depuis 2014 (aller 13-0-4, 7 KOs) et a fait carrière en surprenant ses adversaires favoris, souvent dans leur arrière-cour. L'habile Santiago est venu pour la première fois sur le radar de boxe en se battant pour un match nul de 10 rounds avec l'espoir alors invaincu Antonio Nieves pour le championnat NABO. Combattre en direct sur ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération, Santiago a pris le contrôle de la moitié arrière du combat et beaucoup disent qu'il méritait la décision.


Depuis, il s'est battu à deux matchs nuls controversés contre le très vanté portoricain Jose Martinez (les deux combats dans l'arrière-cour de Martinez à Porto Rico), le deuxième pour le championnat NABO Super Flyweight.


En Septembre 2018, Santiago a eu sa performance la plus impressionnante à ce jour en se battant à nouveau contre un tirage au sort très controversé, cette fois contre Jerwin Ancajas, champion du monde IBF Super Flyweight. De nombreux initiés de la boxe qui ont regardé le combat estiment que Santiago est maintenant le champion du monde sans couronne, avec un juge marquant même le combat 118-111 pour Santiago.


Santiago sait qu'il doit continuer à gagner pendant qu'il attend son heure pour un match revanche bien mérité contre Ancajas ou une autre opportunité de titre mondial en poids coq..


«Je suis très heureux de faire ma première défense du titre international des poids coq WBC,”A dit Santiago. «Je sais que mon adversaire est très coriace et je sais qu'il se prépare à l'opportunité de sa vie. J'aime ça! De cette façon, il n'y aura pas d'excuses. J'ai eu un super camp et je suis prêt! Il n'y a que deux semaines avant le combat, et j'ai hâte de prouver pourquoi je suis classé huitième au monde par le WBC!"


Un outsider très vivant dans ce combat intrigant, 30-Garcia, un an, est invaincu lors de sa dernière 10 concours. Après avoir remporté ses débuts professionnels, Garcia est allé un décevant 0-3-0 (1 Caroline du Nord) dans ses quatre prochains, avant de changer les choses et de partir 9-0-1 (4 KOs), y compris une décision unanime impressionnante sur l'ancien challenger du titre mondial Dewayne Beamon lors de son dernier combat en février de cette année.


«Je sais que c'est l'occasion d'une vie,”A déclaré Garcia. «Gagner m'ouvrira des portes. Camp va grande! J'ai eu de bons combats et je suis dans la meilleure forme de ma vie! J'espère que Santiago est prêt car ça va être une guerre! Je vais le faire se battre pour tout le combat! Son promoteur a fait une grosse erreur en me donnant plus de deux mois pour me préparer et je lui ai déjà dit que je vais l'assommer!"


Dans le co-événement principal de 10 rounds de la nuit, Victor «Chucky» Sandoval, un vétéran populaire de sa ville natale (33-3, 21 KOs) affrontera son compatriote mexicain Kevin «Desvalagado» Villanueva (16-2-3, 12 KOs) pour le WBC International Super Flyweight Championship.


23-Sandoval, un an, déjà un vétéran professionnel de sept ans, est un favori des fans dans sa ville natale de Tijuana. "Chucky" a gagné 21 combats droits, datant de 2016. Il a été vu pour la dernière fois en marquant un arrêt au huitième tour du compatriote Javier Alejandro Rendon (puis 10-3-3) en novembre de l'année dernière.


«Je suis extrêmement reconnaissant de cette opportunité,”A déclaré Sandoval. «Je sais que ça va être un combat incroyablement bon parce que j'ai un adversaire de grande qualité. Nous nous préparons très fortement à ce combat, malgré les défis puisque la plupart des gymnases ont été fermés. J'aime boxer, montrer mes compétences mais j'aime aussi me bagarrer. Je me prépare à donner aux fans un grand combat et à sortir victorieux!"


20-Villanueva, un an, depuis Guasave, Sinaloa, n'a perdu qu'un seul combat dans son dernier 16. Un puncheur fort avec un style agressif. Depuis de passer pro en 2017, Villanueva a combattu exclusivement au Mexique, mais espère utiliser une victoire sur Sandoval comme tremplin vers la scène internationale.


«Je suis ravi de cette opportunité,”A déclaré Villanueva. «Cela signifie un pas de géant dans ma carrière. Nous travaillons extrêmement dur et j'ai un entraîneur qui me pousse à la limite. Venez septembre 21, Je serai prêt à donner et à prendre, et il n'y a aucun doute dans mon esprit que je sortirai en tête! Il a un excellent dossier, mais il n'a combattu personne à mon niveau. Mon objectif est de devenir champion du monde. »


Également programmé pour l'action ce soir-là, un fantastique combat au carrefour entre les espoirs mexicains prometteurs en tant que Cristian «Lacandonsito» Cruz en constante amélioration (12-5, 6 KOs), le fils de l'ancien IBO et IBF Featherweight Champion Cristóbal «Lacandón» Cruz, affrontera Diego «FlaKO» Aleman, autrefois battu (12-1-1, 8 KOs) dans une guerre des super poids plume de huit rounds. Ce combat, entre des batailleurs tout-action, a un potentiel «Fight of the Night» écrit partout.


«Je suis concentré et prêt pour ce combat,”A déclaré Cristian Cruz. «Mon adversaire a été sur le ring avec de bons combattants, mais moi aussi. Quand j'ai entendu le nom de mes adversaires, Je suis devenu très motivé car je sais que ce sera l'un de mes combats les plus difficiles à ce jour.
Pour ouvrir la diffusion, Gilberto Espinoza de Tijuana (11-2, 6 KOs) affrontera le puissant Saul Guardado d'Ensenada (8-1, 7 KOs) dans une bagarre légère en six rounds très compétitive et pour ouvrir le spectacle, deux poids mouches invaincus s'affronteront pendant quatre rounds, comme Los Mochis, Bryan Luna de Sinaloa (5-0, 3 KOs) affrontera Felipe Ayon d'Ensenada (1-0-1, 1 KOs).

ROCHESTER, N. Y.. (Août. 20, 2016) – Undefeated heavyweight prospect Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller won by third-round TKO over veteran Fred Kassi in the ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération événement principal, Vendredi, survivre AFFICHER L'HEURE from Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, N. Y..

 

Following a cagey first round that favored Kassi (18-5-1, 10 KOs), Brooklynite Miller (18-0-1, 16 KOs), turned up the body work and pressure in rounds two and three. After landing 36-of-57 power shots in the third and racking up 30 connects to the body, Kassi retired on the stool between rounds, citing a hand injury. Miller landed an impressive 57 percent of his power shots for the fight and limited Kassi to 22 percent of his hooks, crosses and uppercuts.

 

Kassi said after the fight that his right hand was injured in the second and pushed through the pain for one more round before giving in.

 

Le 6-foot-4, Miller viciously attacked the body and delivered some big rights and combinations. Kassi had some moments where he out-boxed his opponent, but Miller’s power and size—a possible 50+-pound advantage—was the deciding factor. Avec cette victoire,, “Big Baby” ups his winning streak to 14 tout droit.

 

“I knew it would take some time to get going ce soir. I was thinking maybe three or four rounds to warm up and get going. But in the second round, I got my wind and I knew I hurt him,” said Miller, who is ranked among the top 10 heavyweights in three of the four sanctioning bodies. “My legs came alive and I touched his body and his head. I knew I was going to get the stoppage.

 

“I think he could have continued, bien que. He just didn’t want to. That’s why I take my hat off to Deontay Wilder. I still want to break his jaw, but he finished his fight with a broken hand. That’s what champions do. Kassi didn’t want to continue.

 

“Let’s talk about all these heavyweights. Tyson Fury, he doesn’t want this work. He’s always complaining. He’s always sick or something. I don’t know what’s wrong with him. Wilder, every five minutes he breaks another finger. Regardez, it’s just a matter of time before these guys are going to have to put up or shut up. Anthony Joshua, that’s going to be a mega fight. I am just begging for him to call my name.”

 

Kassi said, “I must have hurt my hand in the first round because in the second, every time I hit him I felt a shock. I wanted to keep going but he’s a big guy and I couldn’t use my hand. When you fight a guy that is 50 pounds heavier than you are, you need all the weapons.”

“The size difference and the strength difference was so enormous,” said SHOWTIME Boxing’s veteran analyst Steve Farhood. “Once Miller started rolling, it was clear that Kassi had no answers. Kassi had been nimble and he slid off the ropes a few times in round one. That was gone in round 2. Si, perhaps in some people’s eyes, this win is cheapened by the injury, but to me it was clear that Big Baby was on his way to doing what more advanced heavyweights like Dominic Breazeale and Chris Arreola couldn’t do, and that’s stop Fred Kassi.

"Conclusion, Jarrell Miller’s stock went up ce soir. He faced his toughest test and he passed it.”

En cas de co-principal, promising Louisiana lightweight “Rock Hard Mighty” Mason Menard scored a brutal knockout at 2:26 of the ninth-round over battled-testedBaha Mamadjonov, winning the WBO NABO Lightweight belt. FAITS SAILLANTS VIDEO:http://s.sho.com/2b6MNPF

 

Both Menard and Mamadjonov were facing their most dangerous foe to date. Mamadjonov (18-3, 11 KOs), showed great ring generalship successfully keeping Menard’s output down for the first six rounds, but Menard (32-1, 24 KOs) dramatically turned the fight around with body shots that produced two knockdowns in the seventh. A slow eighth-round followed but the ninth brought another series of power shots leading to the third and final knockdown, prompting referee Steve Smoger to intervene and halt the contest.

At the time of the stoppage Menard, who out-landed Mamadjonov 10-0 in the bout’s final 26 secondes, was ahead by two points on two scorecards and four points on the third.

"Je me sens bien, but it was a B-level performance from me,” said Menard who is coming from a knockout-of-the-year candidate, “I could have done better. My opponent was an awkward fighter and we got him with two weeks’ notice.

“I knew if I kept putting the pressure, slowly he would fade and I would take him out in the later rounds and that’s exactly how it happened. He was hurting to the body. I knew after the first couple rounds he was breathing really heavy, so the game plan was to start touching him to the body. It was affecting him greatly.

“I’m definitely excited to get my second SHOWTIME knockout and I got some rounds under my belt. It’s been years since I went that many rounds, so it was good to know I can go that long and still finish strong.”

“I don’t really know what went wrong,” said Mamadjonov, who is known for his high boxing IQ. “It was short notice and I think I lost too much weight.

“I didn’t feel his punches, but he caught me with some good body shots. I was fighting evenly with him until the weight loss caught up to me and I got tired.

“I feel ok now. Je suis bon. I am disappointed but I’m fine. Je reviendrai."

NABO Bantamweight Champion Antonio Nieves, de Cleveland, Ohio and Tijuana’s Alexandre Santiago battled to a 10-round split draw (96-94 Nieves, 96-94 Santiago and 95-95) in the second fight of the ShoBox quadrupleheader.

Nieves, (16-0-2, 8 KOs), remains undefeated, but Santiago’s (11-2-2, 3 KOs) boxing ability clearly caught him off guard. The first five rounds featured brisk long-range boxing that was incredibly even. Santiago, a late-sub for Nikolay Potapov, appeared to pull away in rounds 6-10 as he out-landed Nieves 129-86 ensemble et 100-61 dans les coups de poing.

Winning the late rounds was not enough for Santiago, who was stepping up in weight and opposition. Judge Don Ackerman had Nieves ahead 96-94 while Eric Marlinski had it 96-94 pour Santiago. Pasquale Procopio’s 95-95 card proved pivotal. Given Santiago’s second-half surge, the Mexican visitor was unlucky not to get the win.

“I thought it was close, but I think I pulled it out,” said Nieves. “I should have gotten the victory by maybe one or two points. But the judges see what they saw, vous savez?

“I do not feel I put on the impressive performance I was hoping to. I wasn’t at my best. Il (Santiago) was a little awkward and my right hand was hurting a little bit, but I really don’t know why I wasn’t letting my hands go like I usually do.

“I learned I have to stick to my game plan and keep using my jab. I didn’t use it like I usually do. I need to just do what I do and not worry about what my opponent is doing.

“I don’t think nerves had anything to do with it, even though it was the biggest fight of my career. I was just letting him get off first. I should have followed my game plan, rather than react to what he was doing. I give myself a C for my performance ce soir."

Santiago, who came as a late replacement and was clearly the underdog, also felt he won the fight.

“It was close, but I think I won the fight. I was always sure I’d beat him and I did. I landed more punches,”A dit Santiago. “I thought Nieves would be stronger than he was in there.

“I usually fight at super flyweight. I was coming up in weight to do this. It was an opportunity to open more doors for me and I took it. And I think that’s what I didce soir."

Dans le combat d'ouverture de la télédiffusion, poids welter invaincu Bakhtiyar Eyubovde Brooklyn, N. Y., by way of Kazakhstan won a close 10-round split decision—that could have gone either way—against veteran Karim Mayfield of San Francisco, Californie. (95-94 twice for Eyubov and 95-94 for Mayfield).

Yeyubov (11-0, 10 KOs), who had never been past the third round, was taken to uncharted waters by the more experienced Mayfield (19-4-1, 11 KOs). Mayfield extended Eyubov far longer than any other opponent and despite out-landing the adoptive Brooklynite in each of the final four rounds (110-80 ensemble et 87-66 puissance) Eyubov escaped with a split decision. It was a learning victory for Eyubov and a disheartening loss for Mayfield, who averaged 69 punches per round to Eyubov’s 52.

“I felt it was close, but I did everything I wanted to do and I feel I won nearly every round,”A dit Eyubov. “I was surprised by Mayfield, especially how hard his head is. He is a real man.

“My lip is a little swollen but that’s because of headbutts. Mayfield fought dirty in there. But I’m happy with the decision. I learned that I can go 10 tours si je dois. Je pourrais continuer 12. I was still strong at the end of the fight.

Mayfield, who was clearly disappointed with the result, felt he won the fight.

“It was a good fight and he’s a tough fighter for sure, but I landed the harder shots and kept active. Il était un dur à cuire, Ne vous méprenez pas, but I certainly won that fight,” said Mayfield. “I feel I performed well. There’s always more work you can do, but for the most part I feel I did good. People thought for some odd reason the fight wouldn’t even go the distance, which is ludicrous. I won the fight though.

“It was part of my game plan to frustrate him and I feel I did that. I executed my plan well. Bien sûr, there was more I could have done. I could have thrown more punches, but I did well.

“They made it seem like he punched like hell, but I guess all punches feel hard to me, so if you’re a hard puncher or a light puncher, it’s still a punch and I don’t want to get punched. I got hit but I was never stunned or anything like that.

“I would love a rematch.”

Eyubov responded, “I don’t know if I would fight him again. I will think about it.”

ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération will re-air on Lundi, Août. 22 à 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME beginning Saturday, Août. 20.

He has been in with some quality guys and I have to be able to beat guys like him to get to the top ones. I’m looking forward to getting the job done on 19 août.

Menard vs. Mamadjonov

The co-main event features promising Louisiana lightweight “Rock Hard Mighty” Mason Menard facing his toughest test to date in Bahodir “Baha” Mamadjonov of Houston, Texas by way of Uzbekistan for the WBO NABO Lightweight Title. Both fighters are making their second appearance onShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération.

Menard, an eight-year pro at the age of 27, is fighting outside of his native Louisiana for only the second time. He’s is ranked among the Top 15 fighters at 135 pounds in the WBA and WBO. In the most noteworthy victory of his career, he made his ShoBox debut at Turning Stone Casino & Resort last Avril 15 delivering an impressive Knockout of the Year candidate over previously undefeated Dominican Eudy Bernardo with a vicious one-punch knockout. VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/1NtEYjW

Menard floored Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round. Bernardo beat the count and finished the round, but he had no answer for Menard’s power. With less than one minute left in third, Menard connected with a huge right, knocking Bernardo out before he even hit the canvas.

Mamadjonov (19-2, 11 KOs), has been matched against very tough opposition throughout his career. His only blemishes were to opponents with a combined record of 46-0 (38 KOs) – Colombien Darleys Perez in Aug., 2012 and Ghana’s Richard Commey in April of last year. Perez went on to become interim WBA Lightweight World Champion and recently lost a rematch against world champion Anthony Crolla. Commey is set to fight Robert Jr Pâques. for the vacant IBF World Lightweight Title on Sept. 9.

This is Mamadjonov’s third start since losing to Commey and his secondShoBox apparence. Dans son ShoBox ses débuts en Avril, 2013 à Las Vegas, Nev., Mamadjonov scored an upset ninth-round stoppage (:51) against previously unbeaten Cuban prospect Angelo Santana. VIDEO:http://s.sho.com/2aPfkwp

Nieves vs. Santiago

Also featured in the Aug. 19 quadrupleheader are WBO NABO Bantamweight Champion Antonio Nieves and his new foe, Alejandro “Peque” Santiago

Nieves, (16-0-1, 8 KOs), a prospect at 118 livres, has stayed active with five fights in 2014, five in 2015, and is fighting for the third time this year. The 29-year-old is coming off his first 10-round performance, a unanimous decision over then once-beaten Oscar Mojica sur Juin 18 à Washington, Pennsylvanie. A win against Santiago will put Nieves a step closer to his goal of challenging fellow Ohio-native WBA Super Bantamweight Champion Rau'shee Warren.

Santiago, (11-2-1, 3 KOs), de Tijuana, Basse-Californie, Mexique, is a three-year pro who seldom breaks training camp between fights. He has won three fights in a row since his last loss in November 2014 to fellow Mexican Hector Flores. Dans son dernier combat sur Février. 27, Santiago won an eight-round unanimous decision over Mario Lara. This will be his United States debut and the first time he’s fought north of 116 livres.
