BILOXI, MS. (Maio 25, 2019) – Former super welterweight champion Austin “Sen dúbida” Troita (31-5-1, 17 Kos) battled former title challenger Terrell Gausha (21-1-1, 10 Kos) to a split draw (96-94 for Trout, 99-91 for Gausha, 95-95) in a 10-round super welterweight bout that headlined Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes on Saturday night from Beau Rivage Resort Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.

“We need to do that again. That wasn’t right,” said Trout of Las Cruces, N.m. “Imos facelo de novo. That was after a year layoff. Timing is going to be off. Now that I am a little more active. I need an immediate rematch. Immediate.

“You never know how the judges are seeing it, but I know 99-91 para (Gausha) wasn’t right. I was definitely in there more than one round,” continued Trout. “But I didn’t feel good in there tonight. I had to force a lot of things, and I had to close the gap in the later rounds.”

“I felt like I won the fight,” said Cleveland native Gausha. “That’s boxing sometimes. You don’t get the decision.

“I have been through a lot this camp. Isto é o que é,” continued Gausha. “I caught a bad cold the last week of training camp. My father passed away during this training camp.

“I don’t really care about a rematch with Trout,” concluded Gausha. “I just want bigger fights. I’d like to do something different. But if we have to go through (Troita) again we’ll do it and just make it more convincing next time.”

In the FS1 co-feature, unbeaten contender Chordale Booker (15-0, 7 Kos) defeated rugged veteran Wale Omotoso (27-4, 21 Kos) por decisión unánime (100-90 X 3) nun 10 redonda concurso welterweight super. Booker, a southpaw from Stamford, Conner., dominated the action against the Nigerian Omotoso.

“I’m always emotional when I fight,” said Booker. “Hoxe, I just let it all out. I feel like this was my time to shine after finally making it to this level. This was definitely a step-up fight for me, facing a guy that they told me nobody else wanted to fight.

“I feel like I’ve got nothing to lose,” continued Booker. “I just feel like I’m supposed to be here. I’ve put in a lot of work to get where I’m at, but I could have gone down a very different path. I got a second chance at life and now look where I’m at. I’d love to fight Trout or Gausha next, or any other title challenger that wants to fight, Estou preparado. I pitched a shutout tonight and I’m prepared to be tested and prove I’m the best.”

The opening bout on FS1 featured Ahmed Elbiali (19-1, 16 Kos), an Egyptian-American who lives in Miami, Florida, scoring a technical knockout victory over Marlos Simões (13-2-2, 5 Kos) of Curitiba, Parana, Brazil who was unable to continue due to an injured jaw. Elbiali knocked Simões to the canvas and referee Keith Hughes stopped the contest 2:12 into the second frame.

“When he went down, I clipped him with a left hook,” Dixo Elbiali. “I knew right away that I could hurt him, and that hook felt like it landed well. He was a tricky and really awkward opponent, but I just went for it and got the job done.

“I don’t really like calling out individual fighters, but I feel like I’m ready for a world title shot,” continued Elbiali. “We’re getting better with every fight and I’m ready.”

The swing bout on FS1 saw Chicago’s Shawn Simpson (10-0, 3 Kos) derrota Sergio Quiroz (6-2, 1 KO) of Los Angeles by unanimous decision (60-54 X 3).

The PBC Prelims on FS2 and FOX Deportes featured hard-hitting cruiserweight prospect Efe Apochi (8-0, 8 Kos) of Nigeria continuing his perfect knockout streak as he stopped Brooklyn’s Earl Newman (10-2-1, 7 Kos) 2:17 into round seven.

LAS VEGAS (Maio 22, 2019) – Light heavyweight brawler Ahmed Elbiali will return to the ring, and for the first time with new trainer Justin Gamber, cando afronta Marlos Simões in a 10-round showdown as part of Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes action this Saturday night from Beau Rivage Resort Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Os ingresos para o evento, que é promovido pola TGB Promocións, are on sale now and can be purchased at the Beau Rivage Theatre box office and through Ticketmaster.

Elbiali has recently began working with a new trainer in Gamber, who also trains super middleweight champion Caleb Plant, and will look to show his improvement in the ring this Saturday night. Here is what he had to say about his new trainer and more:

On training with new coach Justin Gamber:“I’ve been learning a lot since I started training with Justin Gamber, which was about six weeks ago. Nothing against my old trainers, I just felt I needed a new look. Justin and I work well together and I’ve improved tremendously. I’m learning how to relax more in the ring, which has helped me keep my power in the later rounds of sparring. Justin is a great coach and together we are going to make some noise in the light heavyweight division.”

On his recent training camp:
“I’ve put in a lot of hard work for this training camp and I can see the difference compared to other camps I’ve had in the past. I’m working on the fundamentals of boxing, using my jab more and setting up my combinations. I know I have the power to knock out my opponents, but now I’m learning more how to set it up. Living and training in Las Vegas has been a big boost to my career because the sparring out here is second to none. I’m having a great training camp.”

On his matchup with Marlos Simões:
“I know Simões is a durable opponent who’s only been stopped once in his career. I’m expecting him to be in great shape. He’s had a lot of success in the ring, so I’m preparing for a guy who can really fight. I’m just going to go in there and execute my game plan.”

On when he will be ready for a world title shot:
“I want to get as many fights as possible this year and make a world title run in 2020. Claro, everything is predicated fight to fight, but that is the goal.”

On making his televised return on FS1:
“Fighting on FS1 is always fun and exciting. FS1 is the platform where us fighters get the most exposure while we’re coming up. You can’t compare any other network to FOX, where the whole world can tune in. It’s truly a blessing for me to be fighting on FS1.”

BILOXI, MS. (Abril 11, 2019) – Former super welterweight champion Austin “Sen dúbida” Troita returns to the ring to take on former title challenger Terrell Gausha in a 10-round super welterweight bout that headlines Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes on Saturday, Maio 25 from Beau Rivage Resort Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Na co-metragem, unbeaten super welterweight contenderChordale Booker battles rugged veteranWale Omotoso in a 10-round bout, while sensational unbeaten welterweight prospectEimantas Stanionis will open the broadcast at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT in an eight or 10-round welterweight fight.

Os ingresos para o evento, que é promovido pola TGB Promocións, go on sale Monday, Abril 15 and can be purchased at the Beau Rivage Theatre box office and through Ticketmaster.

“Austin Trout has one of the best resumes at super welterweight in the sport today,” dixo Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions. “He’s been in the ring with some of the best boxers at 154-pounds of this generation and I’ve never seen him in a bad fight. Terrell Gausha doesn’t back down from anyone and that will make for an exciting match against Trout. Chordale Booker will be putting his unbeaten record on the line against Wale Omotoso in what will be one of his toughest tests to date. It’s a show that has something for everyone that attends at Beau Rivage or tunes in to FS1 and FOX Deportes.”

Troita (31-5, 17 Kos) has tangled with some of the top super welterweights of this generation, including Saul Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, Miguel Cotta, Jermell and Jermall Charlo and Jarrett Hurd. The 33-year-old from Las Cruces, México, will look to rebound from a majority decision defeat to Jermell Charlo last June. His knockout victory over Joey Hernandez in 2015 headlined the first PBC show on FS1.

“Estou emocionado de volver ao ring,” dixo Trout. “I’m ready to take another chop at the world title and this is my way back. I’m really motivated to get that championship belt again. Gausha is a strong, technical fighter with an Olympic pedigree. I’ve got to get in there and take care of him and look good doing it. A good win over him will get me right back in the mix.”

Gausha, de 31 anos (21-1, 10 Kos), a member of the 2012 U.S. Olympic boxing team from Cleveland, Ohio, will look to put himself back into title contention with a victory over Trout. He came up short in his first title fight against Erislandy Lara, losing a unanimous decision in 2017, before rebounding with a knockout victory over Joey Hernandez in his last fight in December.

“I feel good about this fight and I think it’s the perfect fight for me,” said Gausha. “With Austin Trout being a former champion and having experience fighting all the top guys in the division, it gives me a chance to show where I’m at. It’s not only about winning, but it’s the way I’ll win that will put people on notice.”

Booker (14-0, 7 Kos) is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Juan De Angel in January on FS1. The 27-year-old southpaw from Stamford, Conner., was busy in 2018, ida 5-0 con tres knockouts. Booker is very active in his Stamford community as well, running his charity for at-risk youth and training amateurs for the Golden Gloves.

“My expectations for myself are to put on the best performance I’ve had in boxing period – amateur or pro,” said Booker. “I’m looking to showcase every ability that I have, not just brute strength. I want to show people that I’m championship caliber. What I see from him is that he’s a game fighter and comes to fight. He likes to come forward. He’s going to try to take it to me. But I can do a lot of things, box going forward, backwards, sideways, or anything it will take to get this win.”

The 33-year-old Omotoso (27-3, 21 Kos) is a hard-nosed veteran who will present Booker with his toughest test to date. Born in Lagos, Nixeria, Omotoso learned to fight in the streets before honing his skills in the boxing gym. He calls himself “Neno De Sorte” because he feels fortunate to have made it off the streets alive and become a successful professional boxer. Now training in Los Angeles, Omotoso most recently defeated Freddy Hernandez in December 2017.

“I got the call to fight a young, undefeated fighter in Booker and I said bring it on,” said Omotoso. “I’m really happy he took the fight because most people say I’m too dangerous and too tough. I will give it all I got. When I go to the ring I put all my effort and training into the fight. That’s the way this sport is. I know he’s going to come in with all he’s got, but the toughest man will win.”

Stanionis (8-0, 5 Kos) is from Kaunas, Lithuania and was a member of the 2016 Lithuanian Olympic boxing team. The 24-year-old, who now lives in Oxnard, California, and trains with Ronnie Shields in Texas, is on the fast track toward being a top contender. He’s continued to impress with victories over durable veterans Levan Ghvamichava and Samuel Figueroa in his last two bouts.

LOS ANGELES (Xuño 9, 2018) – Nunha guerra electrizante que tiña á multitude do STAPLES Center en pé cantando por máis, Leo Santa Cruz defendeu o seu Campionato Mundial de peso pluma da AMB gañando unha decisión unánime contra o campión do mundo de catro divisións Abner Mares na súa revancha o sábado pola noite no SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®.

 

 

 

Nunha réplica case exacta estatísticamente da primeira loita na que gañou Santa Cruz por decisión maioritaria 2015, o campión do mundo nativo de Los Ángeles e de tres divisións Santa Cruz gañou nos tres xuíces’ tarxetas de puntuación contra Mares por decenas de 115-113, 116-112, e 117-111.

 

 

 

Coa vitoria, Santa Cruz (34-1-1, 19 Kos) dá un paso máis cara a unha posible loita de unificación na competitiva división de 126 libras, un dos máis profundos do boxeo.

 

 

 

“É gran,” Santa Cruz said. “Abner é un gran loitador. Deixou o seu corazón aí fóra. Foi unha loita dura pero grazas a Deus conseguimos a vitoria. Tiven que ser máis intelixente, por iso non foi unha guerra máis grande senón que foi boa.”

 

 

 

Semellante á primeira vez que os dous guerreiros mexicano-estadounidenses se atoparon, que deu lugar a máis de 2,000 lanzando golpes, un total de 1,992 os golpes totais lanzáronse na pelexa do sábado co lanzamento de Santa Cruz 1,061 a Mares’ 931. Santa Cruz aterrou 357 socos en comparación con 208 para Mares.

 

 

 

Nais (31-2-1, 15 Kos) comezou rápido, gañando as dúas primeiras roldas na tarxeta do goleador non oficial de SHOWTIME, Steve Farhood, antes de que Santa Cruz a patease con outra marcha e se puxese a traballar.

 

 

 

“Foi unha "Fight of the Year".’ como che dixen,” dixo Mares. “Espero que vos guste a loita porque loitamos por vós, Anxos. Gañar ou perder, fixémolo para os afeccionados. Foi unha gran loita.”

 

 

 

engadiu: “Isto é o que é. Non quero discutir puntuacións. Así o decidiron os xuíces, e iso é todo. Vou facelo de novo. Imos facelo de novo. Mares-Santa Cruz 3.”

 

 

 

No que o locutor de SHOWTIME Mauro Ranallo denominou a “Festa de peso pluma,” Santa Cruz ditou o ritmo a partir da terceira xornada, utilizando o seu alcance e traballando fóra do jab.

 

 

 

Santa Cruz sufriu un corte por riba do ollo esquerdo na oitava xornada. “Un corte é un corte, non me molestaba tanto,” Santa Cruz said. “Non deixei que iso me distraera. Tiven cortes antes. Segue loitando.”

 

 

 

Nais, un antigo campión do mundo de tres divisións e un veterano de 10 loitas no campionato do mundo, tiña o famoso adestrador Robert García na súa esquina para esta loita. “Díxeno antes da pelexa: quen gañe esta loita será o peso pluma número un. Santa Cruz gañou polo que é No. 1. Quito o sombreiro ante el.”

 

 

 

Cando lle preguntaron se é o núm. 1 peso pluma na división, Santa Cruz respondeu: “Oxalá o sexa. Deixarei que os afeccionados decidan. Quero Gary Russell Jr. next. Quero unificar. Estou preparado para todos, quen e cando queira.”

 

 

 

No evento co-principal do dobre partido, Jermell Charlo (31-0, 15 Kos) rexistrou unha vitoria por decisión maioritaria ao superar ao ex campión do mundo Austin Troita (31-5, 17 Kos) para defender o seu Campionato Mundial de peso superwelter WBC. A racha de catro nocauts de Charlo rematou na súa terceira defensa do título mundial. Dous xuíces puntuárono 118-108 e 115-111 a favor de Charlo, e o terceiro anotouno 113-113.

 

 

 

“Ás veces os noqueas, ás veces só os gañas.” Dixo Charlo, que agora defendeu tres veces o seu título de 154 libras. “fun pescar, Tentei conseguir unhas troitas pero non puiden collelo no anzol. Sei que están afeitos a verme noquear a rapaces pero polo menos viron que me ocupaba dos negocios.”

 

 

 

Charlo rexistrou dous derribos no combate. Trout golpeou a lona por primeira vez no último minuto da terceira rolda mentres Charlo aplicaba unha forte presión, primeiro conectando nunha gran dereita seguido dun gancho de esquerda contra o que desequilibrou a Trout. Só oito segundos para o noveno, Trout foi a un xeonllo nun gancho esquerdo de Charlo ao lado da cabeza de Trout. Era a sexta vez que Trout caía na súa carreira. Charlo seguiu facendo castigo no partido pero cansando Trout.

 

 

 

“Leva eses derribos que gañei a loita,” dixo a Troita zurda, 32, que tamén foi a distancia nunha derrota por decisión unánime contra o irmán xemelgo de Jermell e titular interino de peso mediano Jermall en 2016. “Non podo poñer ningunha escusa, o mellor home gañou con aqueles derribos.

 

 

 

“Tanto Jermell como Jermall son moi bos. Son o futuro. Pero aínda non rematei. Non estou definido polos meus resultados. Estou definido polos riscos que asumo. Asumín os riscos e defendín a miña posición cada vez contra xigantes e asasinos. E aínda estou aquí.”

 

 

 

Máis preciso que Trout conectando nos seus golpes toda a loita, Charlo lanzou un ataque implacable no 10th, conectarse en múltiples golpes de poder que parecían desconcertar a Trout. Charlo continuou o seu ataque no 11th e 12th, optando por quedar enriba en lugar de ir ao corpo.

 

 

 

“Trout dirá quen vai gañar esa loita,” Charlo dixo sobre unha potencial unificación co titular de 154 libras da FIB e da AMB Jarret Hurd. “Por iso sobreviviu 12. Se Hurd sentou diante de min e fixo eses tiros, fixo.”

 

 

 

Durante a transmisión de SHOWTIME BOXING CHAMPIONSHIP anunciouse o campión do mundo peso lixeiro do CMB Mikey Garcia e campión do mundo de peso lixeiro da IBF Robert Pascua Jr. reunirase o sábado nun enfrontamento de unificación de 135 libras entre estrelas invictas, Xullo 28 en directo en SHOWTIME de STAPLES Center.

 

 

 

“Estivemos pelexando 140 pero sempre tiña a miña mente decidida a volver ao peso lixeiro,” dixo García. “A única loita que tiña sentido era unha unificación e o loitador dispoñible era Robert Easter Jr. É un campión e o home a bater. É xenial estar de volta para darlle finalmente unha loita aos meus fans aquí no sur de California. Agora que estamos podo darlles un partido de unificación e a loita máis grande da miña carreira ata a data.”

 

 

 

“Eu teño a miña pelexa en xullo 28, pero falouse moito [Vasyl] Lomachenko e eu durante o ano pasado. Se supero Robert Easter, sería campión unificado e a única outra loita que ten sentido é Lomachenko,” el engadiu.

 

 

 

Easter cambiou recentemente de adestrador e agora traballa con Kevin Cunningham. “Lomachenko e Mikey son dous mozos hábiles na división de peso lixeiro e dous mozos cos que quero loitar,” Pascua dixo. “Mikey e eu imos falar no ring. A miña altura e o meu alcance darán problemas a calquera sempre que os use con habilidade.”

Tamén se enfrontaron na rolda de prensa final o campión do mundo de peso súper welter Jermell Charlo e ex-campión do mundo Austin Trout, que suben ao ring na transmisión de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING que comeza ás 10 p.m. ET / ES (atrasada na costa oeste).

 

 

 

Os ingresos para o evento en directo, que é promovido pola Ringstar Sports e Promocións TGB, comeza ás $50, engadida de comisións, e xa están á venda. Para comprar entradas visita AXS.com ou fai clic AQUI.

 

 

 

Isto é o que os participantes da conferencia de prensa tiveron que dicir o xoves desde a sala de prensa de Chick Hearn no STAPLES Center de Los Ángeles:

 

LEO SANTA CRUZ

 

 

 

“A primeira loita foi moi boa, pero creo que este será aínda mellor. Mares é un gran loitador cun gran adestrador en Robert García, e ese é o tipo de reto que quero. Os dous queremos darlle grandes loitas aos afeccionados.

 

 

 

“Aprendín moito dos meus últimos combates. Non entro aquí preocupado por perder, Só me preocupa darlles aos fans un gran espectáculo. Se Mares é mellor ca min esa noite, entón gañará. Pero traballei demasiado duro e vou estar no meu pico o sábado pola noite.

 

 

 

“Creo que Mares mellorou moito. Robert García é un adestrador que o levou a un nivel diferente. Fixo moitas melloras. Aprendín das pelexas de Frampton e meu pai tamén é un bo adestrador. Incluso é todo e vai ser unha gran loita.

 

 

 

“Creo que o gañador desta loita será o número un desta división. Gary Russell Jr. é un gran loitador e definitivamente quero unha revancha da nosa loita afeccionada. Pero Abner e eu puxemos moita presión sobre os nosos opoñentes e non creo que a Gary lle gustaría a presión de ningún de nós..

 

 

 

“O meu equipo motívame todos os días no ximnasio. Están ao meu lado correndo todos os días cara ao mesmo obxectivo. Iso é o que me gusta do campo de adestramento porque me fai traballar aínda máis.”

 

Abner Mares

 

 

 

“Podería estar aquí parado e dicirche o que vou facer o sábado, pero xa viches a primeira pelexa. Xa sabes o emocionante que foi a primeira loita. Teño aínda máis que demostrar e vouno deixar todo en xogo esta vez.

 

 

 

“Esta vai ser unha loita emocionante. Sei que Leo madurou como atleta e loitador loitando contra Frampton dúas veces. Pero se miras as miñas últimas actuacións, falan por si mesmos. Creo que os dous somos loitadores experimentados e mellores agora mesmo.

 

 

 

“Non hai dúbida de que o gañador desta loita é o número un desta división. Hai algúns grandes loitadores en peso pluma, pero estamos loitando polo primeiro posto desta división.

 

 

 

“O noso foco non está en buscar unha parada. Ese foi o meu erro na primeira loita. Tentei destruílo. Vou seguir as instrucións e demostrar que son o mellor loitador alí.

 

 

 

“Se gano o sábado pola noite, e a loita é tan emocionante como a primeira, Estou preparado para unha triloxía. Imos facer isto acontecer.

 

 

 

“Vou loitar contra o meu corazón e gañar esta loita esta vez. Que gañe o mellor. Imos darlle aos afeccionados o que queren ver. Estou chamando a isto "Loita do ano".’ garantido.”

 

Jermell Charlo

 

 

 

“O meu irmán e eu levamos moito tempo facendo isto. Austin Trout tamén o fixo moito tempo. Espero que todos cheguen cedo, porque estou traendo emoción á mesa dende o principio.

 

 

 

“Algúns críticos din que eu e o meu irmán non pelexamos contra as persoas obrigadas a estar na lista de libra por libra. A miña carreira ata o cumio continúa o sábado pola noite para demostrar que toda esa xente está equivocada.

 

 

 

“É posible un nocaut. Se quere que sexa así, entón son capaz. Derrick e eu temos un gran plan que estamos preparados para usar. Nada da nosa experiencia no pasado importa, somos os dous 0-0. Todo pode pasar o sábado pola noite.

 

 

 

“Busco facer o que fixo o meu irmán contra Trout, pero moito mellor. Se iso é cun nocaut ou só seleccionándoo, Estou preparado. Estou loitando por moito máis que por unha vitoria o sábado. Imos seguir brillando e facer o que temos que facer.

 

 

 

“Queremos que todos saiban que o meu irmán e mais eu vimos das trincheiras. Chegamos ata aquí, polo que non paramos agora. Ninguén se interpón no meu camiño. Sei que Trout quere un cinto, pero este é o cinto equivocado para ir detrás.

 

 

 

“Teño que tratar con Austin Trout. Jarrett Hurd non é o meu foco neste momento. Definitivamente quero unificar os títulos pronto e espero que saia o sábado pola noite para poder miralo despois desta loita.. Todo o mundo sabe que hora é.”

 

TROITA AUSTIN

 

 

 

“Estou moi emocionado de estar aquí e ter outra oportunidade unha vez na vida. Creo que este é o destino. Vou entrar no foxo dos leóns e vou saír ileso.

 

 

 

“Tan grande como foi a miña vitoria ante Miguel Cotto, Non creo que se compare con esta loita aquí. A xente queixábase de que Cotto era vello despois de que o gañei, pero con Jermell, non hai escusa que poidas inventar. É un campión do mundo invicto, entón se consigo a vitoria, isto é definitivamente máis grande que Cotto.

 

 

 

“Non creo que me estea por alto porque aposto que o seu irmán lle dixo que non durmir en Trout. Todo o mundo vai ver o que estiven dicindo o sábado pola noite.

 

 

 

“O meu campo de adestramento con Barry Hunter foi fantástico. Temos todo o traballo que necesitaba e Barry é alguén que sempre me impulsa a ser mellor do que creo que son capaz..

 

 

 

“Aprendín dos meus erros cando loitei contra o irmán maior. Vou estar aínda mellor

Sábado e vai ser un resultado totalmente diferente.

 

 

 

“Para todos os que dormen sobre min, é mellor espertar. Vai ser un espertar na noite do sábado.”

 

JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Pai de Santa Cruz & Adestrador

 

 

 

“Agora só queda esperar a noite de loita. O traballo ata este momento está feito e está ben feito. Estamos preparados para facer o que hai que facer cando chegue o momento.

 

 

 

“Normalmente neste momento antes dunha pelexa a maior fazaña é facer peso pero alí non tivo ningún problema. Leo tiña un peso obxectivo hai aproximadamente un mes, polo que non é algo que nos preocupe neste momento. Está comendo ben e mantendo o peso ben e sentíndose moi forte para esta loita.

 

 

 

“Leo está nunha forma incrible e confío en que gañará o sábado. Estou seguro de que Abner e o seu equipo van aportar o mellor posible e nós tamén, pero na noite de loita só haberá dous que se enfrontarán. Estamos preparados para a guerra.”

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Nais’ Adestrador

 

 

 

“Só o feito de que Abner estea no meu campo de adestramento e nos comunicamos tan ben, deume moita confianza. Todos fixeron un gran traballo facendo a súa parte no campamento e creo que traballamos en todas as ferramentas que necesitamos para derrotar a Leo Santa Cruz.

 

 

 

“Leo é un gran loitador pero Abner sabe que pode gañar esta loita. A confianza que gañou, e canto máis experimentado parece Abner desde que entrou no meu campamento, debería traducirse nunha forte actuación o sábado.

 

 

 

“Este foi un campo de adestramento moi bo e iso é exactamente o que necesitaba Abner. Estamos preparados para unha gran vitoria.”

 

Derrick James, Instrutor de Charlo

 

 

 

“Creo que Jermell mostrou un gran nivel de madurez á vez que foi un loitador agresivo. Tamén é moi positivo sobre o que quere facer todos os días no campamento, e no ring o sábado.

 

 

 

“Poder xogar con Errol Spence Jr. cada día no campamento axudou definitivamente a Jermell. Dino todo o tempo, pero o ferro afia o ferro e esa é a mentalidade que temos de axudar aos dous a mellorar e chegar a onde sabemos que poden chegar..

 

 

 

“Austin é un loitador astuto que ten moita experiencia e moitas ferramentas. Pero o máis importante é que estamos centrados en conseguir que Jermell sexa a mellor versión de si mesmo o sábado pola noite.”

 

Richard Schaefer, Presidente & CEO de Ringstar Sports

 

 

 

“Por fin a espera rematou. Agardamos tres anos por esta revancha. Todo o mundo me preguntou cando ía ocorrer esta pelexa. Agora só faltan dous días.

 

 

 

“Sabes que é unha gran pelexa cando tes a pelexa aquí no primeiro lugar de Los Ángeles, STAPLES Center. Estes loitadores aquí meréceno, porque son os mellores loitadores do deporte, independentemente da división. Mostrarán a todos o sábado pola noite por que nos gusta tanto o boxeo.

 

 

 

“Cada unha destas loitas podería ter sido un evento principal por dereito propio. Alégrome de que estes loitadores estiveran ben todos xuntos nun evento que realmente eleva o deporte do boxeo.

 

 

 

“Jermell Charlo é un talento único neste deporte. Ten todas as habilidades que necesitas, pero tamén ten esa única cousa que te converte nunha superestrela. Ten carisma, e iso non podes aprender. Con todo, calquera que dubida de Austin Trout, está cometendo un gran erro. Non teño dúbida de que estará máis que preparado para este desafío.

 

 

 

“Tiven a sorte de seguir a estes loitadores do evento principal desde a súa primeira loita, ata agora, sendo varios campións do mundo e homes fantásticos fóra do ring. Leo e Abner viven o tipo de vida que enorgullece este deporte. Pero o sábado pola noite, que gañe o mellor home.

 

 

 

“SHOWTIME ofrece semana tras semana o mellor loitando contra o mellor. Esta loita non é diferente e será outra delicia para os afeccionados que vexan en SHOWTIME e que esperan estes grandes enfrontamentos.”

 

STEPHEN Espinoza, Presidente Deportes & Programación de eventos, Showtime Network Inc.

 

 

 

 

“Estes catro rapaces de aquí arriba estiveron en SHOWTIME xuntos 41 veces. Iso é moito e non ocorre por casualidade. O motivo é que estes loitadores encarnan todo o que queremos que SHOWTIME Boxing sexa. Teñen uns dos currículos máis fortes do deporte. Ningún destes mozos se esquivou de levar unha dura loita. Non veñen con escusas, queren as mellores e máis grandes loitas. We’ Orgullosos de ter os catro en SHOWTIME.

 

 

 

“Agora mesmo temos un enfrontamento entre dúas das maiores estrelas e caras do boxeo do sur de California. A división de peso pluma xa viu aos cinco mellores loitadores en SHOWTIME este ano. Esta é unha revancha entre dous dos mellores. 5. Na primeira loita, botaron un combinado 2,000 socos, que apostaría que volverá ser igualado o sábado.

 

 

 

“Austin Trout estivo alí coas estrelas máis grandes e mellores do deporte do boxeo. Pero Jermell ten bastante impulso. Leva catro paros consecutivos, que é moi impresionante a nivel de campionato. Como todos dixeron, este é outro encontro de calidade do evento principal e espero velo o sábado pola noite.”

Unbeaten Super Welterweight World Champion Battles Former World Champion Austin Trout Sábado, Xuño 9 En directo en SHOWTIME do STAPLES Center de Los Ángeles
Prema AQUI for photos from Dave Mandel/SHOWTIME

LOS ANGELES (Maio 31, 2018) – Unbeaten super welterweight world champion Jermell Charlo has arrived in Los Angeles ahead of his upcoming showdown Saturday, Xuño 9 live on SHOWTIME against former champion Austin Trout as part of action from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast beings at 10 p.m. ET/PT and is headlined by the featherweight world championship rematch between Leo Santa Cruz e Abner Mares.

 

 

 

Os ingresos para o evento en directo, que é promovido pola Ringstar Sports e Promocións TGB, comeza ás $50, engadida de comisións, e xa están á venda. Para comprar entradas visita AXS.com ou fai clic AQUI.

 

 

 

With just over a week to go until fight night, Charlo conducted a media workout with Los Angeles-area press Thursday at Gloveworx boxing gym in Century City.

 

 

 

Here is what Charlo and his trainer, Derrick James, had to say Thursday:

 

Jermell Charlo

 

 

 

“Estou preparado para ir. I’m well-prepared. I’ve been in training camp for about 10 semanas. When you guys saw me before, I wasn’t this built but now I’m ready and I’m excited. I can take on any man in this division.

 

 

 

“Campo de adestramento foi excelente. We had world champion Errol Spence Jr. in camp and a bunch of undefeated fighters. I stopped a few, dropped a few, but that’s not the name of the game. It’s all about training and getting the work done to be prepared for June 9.

 

 

 

“Trout is a veteran fighter but I don’t believe he’s going to stand in the pocket and try to fight me. I don’t think there’s a single fighter in this weight division that would try to do that, not even [Jarrett] Hurd. If Trout does try that, the night will end fast.

 

 

 

“I’m definitely growing as a fighter and growing as a man. If Trout wants to bang, let’s bang. I don’t care what Barry Hunter has or what he does, it’s not going to be able to beat me and Derrick James. I don’t necessarily think Trout is as tough as me so if he can’t put up the skills and match my ability, he won’t beat me that night.

 

 

 

“The Lara-Hurd fight was a great fight. Hurd did what he had to do but I’m a completely different fighter from Erislandy Lara. I’m not here to waste punches. I’m not saying Lara didn’t do a great job but I do believe that his conditioning wasn’t there. I’ve focused my whole life on training. I’m single, I don’t have a family that I have to focus on like some of these other guys. It’s all boxing.

 

 

 

“This is a doubleheader. I’m not a co-main event or a featured star bout. I did that years ago. How many people leave after I fight? Everybody left after the [Erickson] Lubin fight. I’m going to continue to do what I do. I definitely want to headline for you guys and do it here at STAPLES Center and possibly in Brooklyn. I prefer L.A. aínda, it’s all nice people and palm trees. They don’t have that in New York.

 

 

 

“I have a great team behind me that won’t allow me to get distracted by the bright lights of L.A. I don’t believe that it’s in my mind to worry about anything outside of the ring. My objective is to win Saturday night and then I can get out of the ring and have a great time with my brother.

 

 

 

“I’m trying to come in and change some things about boxing. I believe I can make it happen. I think every boxer should have their own media day. [León] Santa Cruz had his own media day. Abner [Nais] had his own media day. I had my own media day. If we can continue that task as fighters, I think it will bring a much bigger audience to boxing.

 

 

 

“I don’t think that whenever the WBC reaches out about a fight that they’re doing it just to play around. This sport is serious. We would love to be a part of a GGG fight. We’re tired of hearing the media say to put the Charlos in there with better competition. I’ve heard that every fight. As long as I’m winning fights and I’m entertaining the fans, that’s what I’m going to do.

 

 

 

“I think I could definitely fight at 168. I might just keep growing through the weight divisions. It’s easy.

 

 

 

“I was super excited about the video that came out today with Gizzle. It was astounding to me to see an artist come out and produce a song like that about the Charlos and it was even better with the video of the knockouts that me and my brother have.

 

 

 

“My fight is won in the gym. I definitely dedicate myself every time I go into a training camp and I spend thousands of dollars on my body and on my training. I sacrifice the fun of being in L.A. to train and be in the best condition possible to fight.”

 

Derrick James, Instrutor de Charlo

 

 

 

“[Jermell] sparred with Errol [Spence] yesterday and he looked phenomenal. He feels great. I think he and Errol are really similar in their level of fighting. At this point he makes weight pretty easily, he’s doing well and I know he wants to unify. Así, until that happens I see no reason for him to go up in weight. Agora, with Austin Trout we’re facing a physical fighter and a physical threat to everybody. With him it could be an easier fight or it can be a hard fight. As we know Jermell is a phenomenal fighter who’s very skilled so I’m not thinking about they’re what doing. [Jermell] might be but I’m not.

 

 

 

“Austin Trout is a great guy and he’s a great boxer. Even at an older age, his skill set is so good. If you think about Floyd [Mayweather], even at an older age he was beating everyone he was fighting. Así, the way I look at it is that he is going to come back hungrier and he’s looking at this as getting an opportunity to get a new fight.

 

 

 

“I always go in thinking it’s going to be a tough fight. I can’t go in there thinking of it in any other way. If I was thinking it would be easy, I’d be an idiot and I wouldn’t be here now. I have to keep pushing myself to be better and these guys will be ready for a tough fight.

 

 

 

“Jermell is always pushing to do more and do it better. He’s always looking to go further than training. If I tell him to do something he does it and learns from it. He’s a great student. I think he has a lot of heart and a lot of desire, and you will see that come out on June 9th.”

Featherweight World Title Rematch Between Leo Santa Cruz &
Abner Mares Headlines Action Live on SHOWTIME

LOS ANGELES (Maio 31, 2018) – The undercard for the featherweight world championship main event between Leo Santa Cruz e Abner Mares will feature unbeaten 2016 U.S. Olímpico Karlos Balderas in a six-round super featherweight fight against Mexico’s Pedro Lopez and a welterweight showdown pitting Ivan Redkach contra Brian Jones Sábado, Xuño 9 no Staples Center en Los Angeles.

 

 

 

The Santa Cruz vs. Mares rematch headlines action live on SHOWTIME in a telecast that also features unbeaten super welterweight world champion Jermell Charlo defender o seu título contra o ex-campión do mundo Austin Trout as part of an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

Os ingresos para o evento en directo, que é promovido pola Ringstar Sports e Promocións TGB, comeza ás $50, engadida de comisións, e xa están á venda. Para comprar entradas visita AXS.com ou fai clic AQUI.

 

 

 

Additional undercard action will feature unbeaten junior lightweight prospect Jose Gomez entering the ring, the pro debut of Westminster, Califa. prospecto Lina Licona for a four-round light flyweight attraction, Antonio Santa Cruz in a bantamweight attraction against Mexico’s Jordan Baletero and the older brother of Karlos Balderas, Jose Balderas, stepping into the ring for a four-round super bantamweight bout.

 

 

 

Rounding out the night are unbeaten Oak Hills, Califa. prospecto Jerry Perez taking on Louisiana’s Josh Ross in junior lightweight action, invicto Arnold Alejandro in a four lightweight matchup, invicto Angel Alejandro in four rounds of featherweight action, and Ukraine’s Viktor Slavinski in a junior lightweight matchup against Texas-native Carlos Trevino.

 

 

 

The 22-year-old Balderas (4-0, 3 Kos), a first-generation Mexican-American, competed on the U.S. Olympic boxing team in the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil before turning pro in April 2017. Representing Santa Maria, Calif., Balderas scored stoppages in his first three fights before earning a shutout unanimous decision over Jorge Rojas Zacazontetl in February. He will take on the 26-year-old López (7-3-1, 3 Kos) who fights out of Tijuana, Mexico and scored a knockout over Dario Medina in his last outing.

 

 

 

Originally from Ukraine but fighting out of Los Angeles, Redk (20-4-1, 16 Kos) was in one of the most exciting short fights of 2017 when he engaged in a back-and-forth bout against John Molina Jr. that contained the drama of most 12 round fights condensed into just four. Redkach was able to drop Molina early before succumbing to the veteran and the 32-year-old will look to bounce back against the Los Angeles-native Jones (14-8, 8 Kos), who’s last four wins have all come by stoppage.

Leo Santa Cruz vs. Abner Mares 2 Sábado, Xuño 9 Live on SHOWTIME from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in an Event Presented by Premier Boxing Champions

Leave a comment
“Crosstown Battles”
A Los Angeles Boxing History Lesson
“Anxos, one of the world’s greatest boxing cities, has probably developed more sensational box-office attractions than any other city.”
– Hap Navarro, Hollywood Legion Stadium matchmaker,
1948-1955

 

LOS ANGELES (Maio 30, 2018) – The first Leo Santa Cruz vs. Abner Mares clash, a candidate for “Loita do Ano” en 2015, was a hard fought crosstown Los Angeles battle for supremacy in the featherweight division won by Santa Cruz via a 12-round majority decision at STAPLES Center on August 29.

 

 

 

This Southern California natural hometown bash produced a strong live gate to go along with a peak of 1.641 million viewers on ESPN, their strongest numbers since 1998. The fierce, bloody war left Mares unfulfilled until their long-awaited rematch could be finally realized three years later. The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast on Saturday, Xuño 9 is approaching as we await the exciting, high-voltage return of Santa Cruz vs. Nais.

 

 

 

Historically, Los Angeles has been the hotspot for slugfests between legendary local Mexican-American fighters. Known for their big hearts in the ring, Mexican-American boxers have electrified fans with their explosiveness and courage. When you mix in the fact that Southland boxing fans are loyal to the end, you have the ingredients for the much anticipated barnburner between Los Angeles-based rivals, Santa Cruz vs. Nais.

 

 

 

The rematch is bound to instill and bolster Mexican national pride in the hearts of the growing Southland Latino boxing community. STAPLES Center will surely be divided equally between those rooting for either Santa Cruz or Mares. With this fight just over a week away, we look back to similar exciting bouts between popular Los Angeles fighters.

 

 

 

A strong bitterness carried over from many years earlier was in full force during the pre-fight build up between former sparring partners and former world champions Mando Ramos and Raul Rojas. These Harbor-area fighters openly played mind-games with each other and tossed hateful personal insults back-and-forth in order to gain a psychological edge. In this crucial crossroads fight for both, Ramos, de Long Beach, was led to believe that San Pedro’s Rojas was not in shape. Ramos proceeded to take it easy and coasted during training camp. When word got out that Rojas was in top-form, it occurred to Ramos that he’d been had. Aínda, Ramos mustered enough salvo to knockout Rojas in six rounds on December 10, 1970 at the Olympic Auditorium.

 

 

 

Ramos helped write another chapter of boxing history in the area as the long-awaited grudge match between two popular Chicano icons, Ramos and Ruben Navarro, also pitted the neighborhoods of Harbor vs. Maravilla against each other. The two fighters, who had been mouthing off to one another for three years, finally agreed to meet in the ring to claim exclusive bragging rights for the title of “best lightweight in town.” Former world lightweight champion Ramos pulled off a close 10-round unanimous decision over top-contender Navarro, “The Maravilla Kid” of East L.A., at the Olympic Auditorium on September 30, 1971.

 

 

 

In one of the most anticipated dream matches in Los Angeles boxing history, “Schoolboy” Bobby Chacon, of Sylmar, knocked out Danny “Little Red” López, of Alhambra, in the ninth round to win the mythical “City Featherweight Championship.” Chacon was in his wheelhouse all night long, rocking Lopez repeatedly with his right hand throughout the fight. This clash of local rising stars in the featherweight division, promoted by Aileen Eaton and the Olympic Boxing Club, occurred in front of a sold-out crowd of 16,027 at the Los Angeles Sports Arena on May 24, 1974. The fight produced so much interest that another 2,671 fans watched on closed-circuit TV at the Olympic Auditorium, located on the corner of 18th & Grand in downtown Los Angeles. Steve Springer of the Los Angeles Times wrote in 1995 about the fight as a measuring stick for boxing fan passion in the area, proverbio “you would have to go back to Chacon-Lopez to find such excitement for a pair of Los Angeles fighters.”

 

 

 

It was the first time in boxing history that two college graduates fought for the world title when WBC welterweight champion Carlos Palomino, of Westminster, successfully defended his title against Armando Muniz, of Montebello, by 15th-round TKO at the Olympic Auditorium on January 21, 1977. Many local boxing writers called this knockdown, drag-out war, o “Loita do Ano”, and in the rematch held May 27, 1978 at the same venue, Palomino once again stopped Muniz, this time by 15-round unanimous decision.

 

 

 

Santa Cruz and Mares grew up together on the same Southern California boxing scene. Both appeared on many of the same boxing cards, and Santa Cruz even picked up an IBF bantamweight belt vacated by Mares. Agora, for these two Mexican warriors with almost identical boxing statistics, the road to greatness leads them both once more to STAPLES Center for surely another sensational ring-war.

 

 

 

Come fight night on June 9, 2018, the boxing world will be treated to another classic Los Angeles slugfest between two certified Mexican warriors. This bout truly promises to be the next chapter written in the long history of exciting Los Angeles crosstown battles. Nearly three years in the making, anticipation will be high and a screaming audience again on their feet, as they witness Mares’ quest for redemption in his rematch with Santa Cruz. As popular and well-liked as these two hometown heroes are in the Southland boxing community; there will be only one fighter who will walk out of STAPLES Center with his hands raised tall. Que gañe o mellor.
