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.

Josesito Lopez, známy ako “The Riverside Rocky”, bude bojovať s rastúcim uchádzačom Miguel Cruz v 10-kolovom meraní síl welterovej váhy. Bývalý majster sveta v super strednej váhe Anthony Dirrell preberá El Paso Abrahámovi v 10-kolovej 168-librovej šarvátke. Noc tiež predstavuje neporazeného mexického konkurenta s perovou váhouJorge Lara stret s dominikánskym bitkárom Claudio Marrero v 10-kolovom úvodnom zápase, ktorý začína o 8:30 p.m. A / 5:30 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

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.”

Former 168-Pound World Champion Anthony Dirrell Takes On Denis Douglin in a Special Edition of Premier Boxing Champions TOE-TO-TOE TUESDAYSon FS1 & BOXEO DE CAMPEONES on FOX Deportes from Dort Federal Credit Union Center in Flint, Michigan on Friday, November 17

Viac! Rematch Between Welterweight Prospects Jamontay Clark & Ivan Golub in Co-Main Event & Ryan Karl Returns Against
Kareem Martin in Battle of Prospects
FLINT, MY. – (Október 4, 2017) – Bývalý majster sveta v super strednej váhe Anthony Dirrell (30-1-1, 24 KO) sa stretne Denis Douglin (20-5, 13 KO) in a 10-round bout that headlines a Premier Boxing Champions special edition of TOE k päte UTOROK na FS1 a Champions Boxerské on FOX Deportes on November 17 from Dort Federal Credit Union Center in Flint, Michigan at 10:30 p.m. A/ p.m. PT.
The 10-round bout is a homecoming for Dirrell, who was born and raised in Flint along with his brother and top contender, Ďalší. It will be the third time that he has fought in his hometown with the 32-year-old’s last outing in Flint ending with a knockout of Dante Craig at Atwood Stadium on July 2, 2011. Since losing his title via majority decision to Badou Jack in 2015, Dirrell has won three straight bouts including his most recent fight, a fifth-round stoppage of Norbert Nemesapati in January.
Vstupenky na koncerte, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and A.D.D. Enterprises, begin at $20. Ak chcete zakúpiť vstupenky, visit the Dort Federal Credit Union Center box office or Ticketmaster.com.
Douglin has fought a lot of good fighters and I respect him, but he’s standing in the way of my title shot,” Said Dirrell. “This is a chance for me to showcase my skills. I’m going for a stoppage, and I think I’m going to get it in the middle rounds. I want to put on a great performance and give the fans something to see. I’m going to get the job done.
The 29-year-old Douglin of Marlboro, N.J. has stood in against some of the toughest boxers in the sport, including 168-pound champions David Benavidez and George Groves, plus 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo. In his last match, Douglin lost on a TKO to Benavidez after winning three straight bouts by stoppage.
I’ve taken a lot of fights on short notice and that’s hurt me in the past, but I’ve had ample time and a great training camp to prepare for this fight,” said Douglin. “I think Dirrell has a problem with guys who aren’t afraid of him and who will actually give him a fight. With my style and determination, I’m going to bring a lot more than he’s expecting. I’m going to bring it for 10 rounds and I know I’ll have my arm raised at the end of the day.
Jamontay Clark (12-0, 7 KO) a Ivan Golub (13-1, 11 KO) will meet in an eight-round welterweight bout that serves as a rematch of their exciting Jún 30showdown which ended with Clark winning a unanimous decision.
The 23-year-old Clark of Cincinnati, Ohio is looking to remain unbeaten and pick up his third victory of the year, while the 28-year-old Golub, who was born in Ukraine and now lives in Brooklyn, wants to hand Clark the first loss of his career and erase what he believes was a bad decision in their first fight. Coming into the first fight between the two southpaw welterweight prospects, Golub had stopped seven straight opponents.
Ryan “Kovboj” Karl (14-1, 9 KO) bude mať na Kareem Martin (9-1-1, 3 KO) in an eight-round junior welterweight match that opens televised coverage. The 25-year-old Karl of Houston is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Carlos Winston Velasquez in his last fight on Júl 18 as he bounced back from the first loss of his career when he lost to Eddie Ramirez in February.
The 22-year-old Martin of Washington D.C. scored a unanimous decision victory over Evincil Dixon in his last fight on Augusta. 12 as he works his way back from a defeat to David Grayton last year.
Anthony Dirrell headlining in his hometown of Flint will be a great treat for boxing fans in the area,” povedal Tom Brown, Prezident TGB Promotions. “This is something that Anthony Dirrell has wanted for a long time and I’m sure that he is going to be at his absolute best and look to really impress in front of his fans on November 17. He will have a tough challenge from the strong Denis Douglin, but if he’s able to get by him, we could see Anthony Dirrell fighting for a world title in the very near future.
