CARSON, CALIF.(Maj 29, 2021) -Nonito Donaire is champion once again. Fourteen years after he won his first world title, the “Filipino Flash” cemented his Hall of Fame credentials with a sensational fourth-round KO win overNordine Oubaalito capture the WBC World Bantamweight title Saturday night in the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Kalifornia. w wydarzeniu Premier Boxing Champions.

“The king has returned,” Donaire beamed afterward. “I just love the crowds. All my friends, rodzina, all the boxing fans that came out thank you so much. You guys are wonderful.”

The 38-year-old Donaire (41-6, 27 KO) is now the oldest world champion ever at 118-pounds. He accomplished it with the left hand that has been the calling card of his career as he dropped Oubaali (17-1, 12 KO) three times in total.

“Being at this age is not the question, it’s about my performance,” said Donaire. “About my ability to grow. I believe it matters not what your age is, but how mentally strong you are. What I learned from the [Naoya] Inoue fight is that I’m back. I can still compete at this level. The whole time I was not fighting, I was learning. I’m ready for the next one.”

Following a feel-out first round, Donaire went to work in the second, walking Oubaali down and countering with thudding effect. Donaire scored the first knockdown early in the third, dropping Oubaali with his trademark counter left hook. The Frenchman rose on unsteady legs and Donaire pounced, landing more big shots until another left hook floored Oubaali just a split second before the round ended. Ponownie, Oubaali struggled to his feet, dazed yet willing to fight on.

The end came swiftly in the fourth. Donaire expertly maneuvered Oubaali around the ring, pinning him against the ropes where a left uppercut sent Oubaali crumpling to the canvas for a third and final time. Referee Jack Reiss immediately called it off. The official time of the stoppage was 1:52 czwartej rundy.

“Three decades of being world champion. Nine-time world champion. That’s amazing,” said Donaire. “I came in here and I felt really good. Today I knew exactly what was going to happen. I knew exactly what I was going to do. I think I was just very focused in the gym. I was very, very focused. I just felt really good coming in and I was grateful to get this opportunity.

“Tonight was something that I had to prove to the world that I’m back and I’m stronger than ever. He was a very tough guy. I think ultimately for me, there was a level of should I be more patient? Or should I go for it? Something I learned in the Inoue fight was to go for the kill. And that’s exactly what I did. I was patient, but I knew he was hurt enough that I could take him out.”

W ko-feature, Puerto RicoSubriel Matias (17-1, 17 KO) delivered another power-punching display, breaking down previously-unbeatenBatyr Jukembayev (18-1, 14 KO) until Jukembayev’s corner stopped the bout after eight riveting rounds.

“I think this is what everybody expected. Everybody knew it was going to be a great war,” said Matias. “This was going to end by knockout whether I was going to get knocked out or Jukembayev was going to get knocked out. I’m just glad it was me who knocked him out.”

Matias establishes himself as one of the best in a stacked division, but this latest win wasn’t easy. Kazakhstan’s Jukembayev came out strong, landing a right hook-right uppercut combination upstairs from his southpaw stance that got Matias’ attention in the first.

Jukembayev pushed the pace in the second. Matias began letting his hands go in the third, throwing in combination to the head and body. Both combatants were now fully warmed up, setting the stage for a fourth round that could be a candidate for “Round of the Year.”


It began when a hard left hook staggered Jukembayev and drove him to the canvas. Matias sought to close the show but Jukembayev held on, cleared his head and started landing his own shots. With a minute left in the stanza, Jukembayev stunned Matias with a left cross. Instead of clinching, Matias fought fire with fire, bringing the crowd out of their seats with toe-to-toe action until the bell sounded.

Matias never stopped coming forward. Following a one-sided sixth, Jukembayev returned to his corner with both eyes swelling shut. The back and forth ensued in the seventh as Jukembayev buzzed Matias with two right hooks toward the end of the round.

Matias returned to the driver’s seat in the eighth round, pounding away at Jukembayev with both fists. W sumie, he out-landed Jukembayev by 100 stemple (234/608 do 134 /409) and was more accurate (38.5% do 32.8%). The accumulation of blows was enough to convince Jukembayev’s corner to request the bout be stopped.

“He knew he had nothing to lose. He came in and was doing everything strong,” said Matias. “He knew that all he could do was knock me out to win. I would have done the same thing. That’s a warrior’s heart and he has all my respect.

“After that fourth round, I mean he is a very competitive fighter, so it turned into a war after that point. My hands go up to him as well. To była świetna walka. I definitely have had other opponents that were very good, but this is the one that has given me the hardest test.”

W otwieracza transmitowane, Gary Antuanne Russell (14-0, 14 KO) continued his ascent up the super lightweight ranks. The undefeated Russell became the first to stop the ruggedJovanie santiago (14-2-1, 10 KO), dominating Santiago until referee Sharon Sands halted the contest following the sixth round at the suggestion of Santiago’s corner.

“The objective is to get the man out as soon as possible and come out unscathed,” said Russell. “I just want to say that Santiago was a class-A opponent. A lot of people think he beat Adrien Broner. I want Adrien Broner now.”

With older brother and WBC World Featherweight Champion Gary Russell Jr. pracuje w swoim kącie, Gary Antuanne controlled the action from the opening bell. The 2016 Olympian worked the jab and straight left behind the southpaw stance, snapping Santiago’s head back several times in the first.

Russell, 24, continued to land the left in the second and third. Early in the fourth, he followed up a straight left to the ribs with a short right hook upstairs that dropped Santiago to a knee. Puerto Rico’s Santiago gamely rose to his feet and survived the follow-up onslaught to make it out of the round.

“The importance to me is to execute round-by-round, and round-by-round, I was executing more and more. My father told me to go to the body, right hook upstairs. He was open to that,” said Russell.

Russell showed no signs of slowing despite being extended beyond four rounds for the first time in his pro career. The Capital Heights, Md. product battered Santiago in the sixth, landing punishing combinations throughout the frame. Chwilę później, the bout was stopped.

“It’s definitely important to me to perform so I’m not just known as Gary Russell’s younger brother,” said Russell, który wylądował 146 z 444 stemple (32.9%). “I come from an excellent background of fighters. We’re building a dynasty.

“How soon do I want to get back in the ring? If I could fight on the Deontay Wilder card, that would be great.”

Oto co miał do powiedzenia bojowników czwartek:

NORDINE UBAALI

"Tak, sparowaliśmy, ale trening to trening. Kiedy wchodzisz do walki, to nie to samo. Każda walka jest inna i wiem, że w sobotę zagram świetne show z Nonito Donaire, bo wiem, że jest dobrym bokserem, ale wiem, że jestem najlepszy. Trenowałem tak ciężko i teraz jestem gotowy do walki. Chcę wszystkim pokazać, że dwie najlepsze wagi koguciej w dzisiejszym boksie walczą w sobotę.

"Tak, miał niesamowitą karierę i ma władzę, ale wierzę, że mam więcej władzy niż on. Wiem, że mam moc. Jest dobrym bokserem, ale ja jestem mistrzem świata iw sobotę pokażę światu, kto jest najlepszy. Wiem, że jestem najlepszy. Szanuję Nonito. He’s had a good career but I’m the best in the division.

“The difference in the fight is going to be I want to win more. I want to continue to make history and stay as the world champion in this division. I know that it’s my time. I want this more than he does.

“If I’m victorious, why not have my next fight be for the unification? I want to make history every time and this is my motivation. I’m here because I love boxing and I want to face the best boxers every time. I’m facing Nonito Donaire and that’s great for my career. I just like to fight and this is my life.”

NONITO DONAIRE

“It would be great to win the title at 38 years old and become the oldest champion at 118 funtów, but let’s keep it going. Let’s make it 40. Let’s make it 42. There ain’t no stopping me. Umysłowo, I’m very grateful but at the same time I’m just very ready.

“I’m always healthy and the reason why I can compete with anybody is because I keep myself healthy and I work hard. There’s nothing less than 100 percent every time I’m in that gym.

“I’m very hard-headed so I don’t always do what people tell me to do. People can say that it’s their time. But I also have my time and I’m always going to be the one who concedes their time or makes that decision. It’s still my time.

“It’s going to be a great fight. Oubaali is the champion for a reason. He’s been through it in terms of the amateurs and making it here. So we’re not underestimating any of that. But I’ve fought in this venue many times and I always make magical fights in the first place. It’s always going to be magical with me. I’m a unicorn.

“The difference in this fight is going to be my hunger. He’s younger than me but I have the hunger. We both have an objective and that’s what’s going to make this a great fight.

“I want to fight the best out there. I want the rematch with Naoya Inoue and I want to get all the belts. The only thing I haven’t accomplished in boxing is becoming undisputed champion. I’ve done everything else. Fighter Roku. Nokaut Roku. Multiple championships. Four-division champion. You name it. To jest mój główny cel. Get the belt and put them all together.

“Bantamweight is my real weight. Zawsze walczyłem w cięższej dywizji z powodu podniecenia, wyzwanie i lukratywna oferta lub nazwy w tamtym czasie. Teraz, Jestem tutaj, gdzie należę i tutaj jestem naprawdę silna.

„Zwolnienia w ogóle nie będą miały znaczenia. Czas wolny mi pomógł. Samo wyjście z ringu pomogło mojemu ciału odzyskać siły. A chęć i głód są bardziej niż kiedykolwiek. To było dla mnie błogosławieństwo ”.

SUBRIEL MATIAS

„Będę jego najtrudniejszym sprawdzianem bez pytania i przyjdę w sobotę wieczorem, wszyscy dowiedzą się, dlaczego to mówię.

„Wierzę mu, kiedy mówi, że ma narzędzia, aby zatrzymać się w sobotę. Ale to nie tylko kwestia powiedzenia, w sobotę wieczorem musi to udowodnić. If it’s going to come out of your mouth, then you have to prove it.

“We’re both knockout artists and with what we’re looking at, this fight should not finish by a decision.

“I don’t have much to say about that fight against Petros Ananyan. Those that saw me lose, I lost. There’s nothing I can say about it. But those that know boxing know that I’ve been progressing and improving and you all will see that on Saturday.”

BATYR JUKEMBAYEV

„Ja miałem wielki obóz treningowy. I am ready for Saturday night. I know that he’s a good fighter but I promise that I will be ready.

“We will see Saturday night whether it’s going to end in a knockout. I’ll show you what I’m made of and you will all see.”

GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL

“I’m in the hurt business. He’s a slugger. If he wants to come in there and slug with me, he will feel my power. He will see how intelligent I am. Not just mentally, but physically with my hands. Tak jak powiedziałem, I’m in the hurt business. I come to hurt.

“Pardon my lack of Spanish, but what you are going to see is, ‘la violencia.’ He’s going to bring his pressure. He’s going to bring punches in bunches and I believe that’s all he can bring. If he’s been training and trying to perfect himself for my style of fighting, that’s fine. You’re not supposed to come in here one-dimensional. A diamond shines from all sides.

“The only thing I can say is this venue is going to promote blood, pot i łzy oraz chęć ludzi do bycia wspaniałymi. Zdecydowanie jestem jednym z nich. Byłem na siłowni oddając swoją krew, mój pot i moje łzy, a ja przynoszę to wszystko do tego miejsca w sobotę wieczorem.

„Zdecydowanie chcę być bardziej aktywny. Taki zawsze był mój plan. Pandemia spowolniła sytuację. Fani zawsze mi mówią, że chcą zobaczyć, jak tam wrócę… Po prostu im mówię, Ja też. To nie wojownicy pociągają za wszystkie sznurki. Powinienem być bardziej aktywny? Oczywiście. Chcę być bardziej aktywny.

„Chcę pokazać, że jestem śmietanką. Jestem supergwiazdą. Światło nie świeciło na mnie, ponieważ dzieje się wiele innych rzeczy. Do tego czasu, będziesz musiał poczekać i zobaczyć. Przyjdź w sobotę, it will be a great show. There will be some sparks and fireworks. I have an opponent that’s not willing to lay down. If he’s not willing to, I must make him lay down.”

JOVANIE SANTIAGO

“I know that he’s a good fighter. An Olympian. He’s young and he’s going to come fight. I’m going to come to fight too, so if the fight finishes early, then it finishes early.

“I just have to work round-by-round, throw punches and win one round at a time. After I beat Russell, everybody is going to be on my side.

“This is my weight. This is where I’m most comfortable. I’ve always been a 140-pounder and Saturday that’s what I’m going to demonstrate.

“This time, I’m fighting at my actual weight. Czuję się silny. Przychodzę do pracy w kółko, aw sobotę wszyscy zobaczą, o co mi chodzi ”.
