En tant que professionnel, Giyasov fera campagne dans la division poids welter, où il était un amateur sensationnel.
À l'âge 24, Giyasov qui mesure 5’9″, est l'un des boxeurs les plus talentueux à entrer dans les rangs professionnels de la dernière décennie. L'été dernier à Hambourg, Allemagne, le droitier Giyasov a remporté l'or (Welterweight) au 2017 Association Internationale de Boxe (AIBA) Championnats du monde. Victoire de Giyasov en finale contre Cuba Roniel Iglesias, la 2012 Médaillé d'or olympique, personne n’a été surpris, comme l'Ouzbékistan était le #1 graines entrant dans le tournoi. Shakhram a été élu meilleur boxeur du tournoi par ses pairs, gagnant 56% du sondage en ligne de l'AIBA.

“Nous sommes très heureux de notre décision d'amener Shakhram Giyasov à Las Vegas,” dit Ruslan Khusinov. “Tout le monde reconnaît Las Vegas comme la Mecque de la boxe et c'est là que nous voulons construire notre fondation. J'ai de grands projets pour faire de Giyasov une super-star ici aux États-Unis, tout comme à la maison où sa popularité est indéniable.”
Entraînement Giyasov, sera Justin Gamber, qui guide le coin du candidat au classement mondial invaincu, Caleb “Mains douces” Usine (16-0, 10 KOs). Gamber pense que Giyasov peut sauter sur la voie rapide vers un titre mondial.
“Dans le jeu de boxe d'aujourd'hui, vous avez de nombreux boxeurs avec un pedigree amateur élevé, se battre pour un titre mondial avant leur 15e combat pro,” Justin Gamber a déclaré. “Je crois que Giyasov correspond à ce moule. Je peux le voir se battre pour un titre mondial au début de sa carrière.”

LAS VEGAS (Sept. 8, 2017) – At 20 ans, 9 months old, David Benavidez became boxing’s youngest world champion – and the youngest ever in the super middleweight division – with a split decision victory over Ronald Gavril vendredi night on an exciting night of 168-pound action on BOXE SHOWTIME: ÉDITION SPÉCIALE de l'articulation au Hard Rock Hôtel & Casino. See the video of the decision via Twitter link ICI.

 

Benavidez (19-0, 17 KOs) placed the previously vacated WBC Super Middleweight belt around his waist after winning the title against former European amateur standout Gavril (18-2, 14 KOs) in what Benavidez later described as quite possibly the “Fight of the Year.” One scorecard had Gavril winning 116-111, with Benavidez winning on the other two scorecards, 116-111 et 117-111 in the event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

“It feels amazing to win this title,” said the Phoenix resident Benavidez. “It’s everything I’ve dreamed about since I was a little kid. It’s everything I’ve dedicated myself to and I’ve worked hard for. It finally paid off.”

 

The 31-year-old Romanian Gavril, who trains at Mayweather’s Gym in Las Vegas by Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, sent Benavidez to the canvas with a left hook with just 50 seconds left in the wild 12e et tour final.

 

«Je sens que je gagné le combat. I dominated the pace. I can’t say anything else other than it was up to the judges,” Gavril said, who was watched by his promoter all-time great Floyd Mayweather from ringside. “The only thing I can do is to ask for a rematch.”

 

Benavidez, who turned pro at age 16 and only had 15 combats amateurs, took control of the fight early on, but Gavril seemed to gain steam mid-fight, out-boxing and being more active than Benavidez in the seventh, tours huitième et neuvième. In rounds 11 et 12, Benavidez out-landed Gavril 66-35 ensemble et 53-14 with power punches.

 

“I felt my performance was good except for the last round when I got too anxious and wanted to knock him out,"Benavidez dit. “I let my young side takeover and I wanted to give the fans a great fight. I didn’t really feel hurt but it was a shock knockdown. I know to be careful and more cautious. It was a learning experience.”

 

 

 

In another super middleweight contest, Abie Han suffered a devastating accidental head-butt againstJ'Leon Amour à 1:02 into the eighth round and the fight went to the scorecards. One judge had Las Vegas’ Love winning 79-73, and the other two 76-76 making the decision a technical majority draw.

 

Following an exchange of punches, Aimer (23-1-1, 13 KOs) leaned in and the two fighter banged heads in violent fashion. Ils (26-3-1, 16 KOs) d'El Paso, Texas, was left stunned and fell to the floor as blood gushed from his forehead above his left eye and he was immediately checked on by referee Kenny Bayless.

 

Ils, who left the arena sitting up on a stretcher before hearing the decision, won the statistical battle in the ring. Han landed more blows (78-47 global, 20-12 jabs, 58-35 puissance) and did so more accurately (24 percent to 17 percent overall, 16 percent to eight percent jabs and 30 percent to 27 percent power).

 

SHOWTIME boxing analyst Al Bernstein had Han winning by one point at the time of the stoppage.

 

“I can’t rate my performance as great because I didn’t get a victory, J'ai un tirage au sort,” said Love, who once trained at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit under Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward.

 

The 29-year-old Love ended nearly a one-year layoff with his return to the ring. “I’m kind of rusty but I feel like I pressed the action and tried to take it to him,"Il a dit. “Other than that I feel like I landed the cleaner shots.”

 

Dans le combat d'ouverture de la télédiffusion, unbeaten super middleweight prospect Caleb usine (16-0, 10 KOs) recorded a 10-round shutout decision against a tough Andrew Hernandez (19-7-1, 9 KOs), 100-90 trois fois.

 

Usine, who resides in Las Vegas by way of Ashland City, Armé d'un, was the more active fighter against the 31-year-old switch-hitting journeyman Hernandez, who took the fight on just eight daysnotice after Alan Campa dropped out. Plant jabbed effectively (81 de 271, 30 pour cent) while neutralizing Hernandez’s usually effective jab (46 de 325, 14 pour cent). Plant was also sharp with his power shots landing 44 percent to Hernandez’s 19 pour cent.

 

“I’m very pleased with my performance,” Plant said. “I boxed well and I dictated the pace. I pressed when I needed to press and boxed when I needed to box. I felt I put on a great show for the fans. I want to be star in boxing. I know with hard work I can accomplish anything.

 

“Hernandez is tough, I sent him with everything and he stood tall and my hats off to him. He’s a tough competitor.”

 

Hernandez, de Phoenix, Arizona, suffered a cut under his left eye in the third and it caused him problems throughout the fight, opening up and bleeding over the final two rounds.

 

“All respect to Caleb Plant on his performance tonight,” Hernandez said. “He put on a solid fight and he’s got a great future. I was happy I was able to stay in there and last the entire 10 tours.

 

“I felt Caleb won, but I don’t think it was 10 rounds to none. But that’s not for me to decide. It’s all up to the judges at the end of the day it only matters what they think.”

 

Plant added: “I’m ready to step up in competition and fight anybody in the top 10 of the super middleweight division. I got my eye on Benavidez and all the other world champions. Je viens!"

 

Vendredi de tripleheader will replay on Sunday, Sept. 10, à 9 a.m. ET/PT, et Lundi, Sept. 11, à 10 p.m. ET/PT sur SHOWTIME EXTREME et sera disponible sur SHOWTIME sur DEMAND® et SHOWTIME EN TOUT TEMPS®.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (Septembre 5, 2017) Unbeaten middleweight contender, Caleb “Sweethands” Usine (15-0, 10 KOs) is just a few days away from making his SHOWTIME debut ce vendredi à l'Hôtel Hard Rock & Casino à Las Vegas. Plant will face late opponent, Andrew Hernandez (19-6-1, 9 KOs) in a ten-round bout. Accorderce vendredi sur Showtime (10 p.m. ET/PT).
With just a few days away from the fight, Plant gives is thoughts on facing Hernandez, formation, et de plus, as he wraps up the final days of camp.
On his matchup with late opponent Andrew Hernandez
“Pour être honnête, it doesn’t matter who they put in front of me, I’ll fight anyone. I was originally supposed to fight Alan Campa, but he pulled out, like most of my opponents. Hernandez recently fought so I know he’s in good shape. I’m happy that he stepped up, but I’m going to put tips on him. There’s no two ways about it, Je viens en tête.”
Sur son récent camp d'entraînement…
Training camp has been unbelievable. It’s no doubt, one of my best training camps ever. My weight is perfect and I couldn’t be happier with the way I’ve been looking in the gym. My trainer Justin Gamber is doing a phenomenal job, as well as my dad Richie. Larry Wade, my strength and conditioning coach, has got me in tip top shape. We are going to dictate our game plan on Hernandez, and try to get him out of there before the final bell. If it goes the distance, Je serai prêt.”
On making his Showtime debut
I’m very excited to be making my debut on Showtime. This is the first of many as I believe I can become a household name on their network. Showtime is looking for their next star and I believe it’s me. I’m going to put on a spectacular performance. Everyone watching can expect to see a very skilled and determined fighter when they see me fight ce vendredinuit.”
On fighting in his new hometown of Las Vegas
This will be my third time fighting in Las Vegas, the mecca of boxing, and I want to stamp my legacy here. Since moving here from Nashville about a year ago, I’ve been getting some great work with some top-level fighters. Nashville will always be home, but Vegas is where I’m at right now. I have a lot of new fans out here and I can’t wait to put on a great show for them.
On what a victory will do for his career
“Une victoire ce vendredi will get me one step closer to a world title shot. I’m currently ranked WBA #7 et #11 par l'IBF. I’m right there knocking on the door. David Benavidez is fighting for the WBC title in the main event, and he’s definitely someone I want to fight. J'Leon Amour, who’s world ranked, is also on the card. Both are on my radar. I’m want all the champions in my division. I’m going to be a world champion when I get my opportunity.

The following is a training camp update from each of the fighters on de ce vendredi tripleheader.

 

David “El Bandera Roja” Benavidez

  • He trains out of The Summit Gym in Big Bear, Californie.
  • His trainer is his father, Jose Benavidez Sr.
  • Avec une victoire, Benavidez (âge 20) would become the youngest Super Middleweight to ever win a world title and the youngest current world champion.
  • He’s very familiar with the gym because his brother Jose Benavidez Jr. (former WBA interim super lightweight champion) used to train there when he was active.

 

Benavidez on training camp:

“My training camps are always fairly long. I only take a week off after every fight and go back into training. For the first couple weeks, it’s just moving around, then we slowly work into the hard training. For this one, I probably had like a month and a half, two months.”

 

Sur son adversaire:

“I feel like he [Ronald Gavril] has a really good style for me to showcase my skills, like how I did against Rogelio Medina. With our sparring partners, we have brawlers and we have boxers, aussi. Whatever style he fights on that night, I’m going to be prepared for it.”

 

Ronald “The Thrill” Gavril

  • He trains at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas.
  • He is a former European amateur standout.
  • His trainer is Eddie Mustafa Muhammad (65 ans; former WBA light heavyweight world champion, retired in 1988 avec un record de 50-8-1, 39 KOs).

Gavril on training camp:

“I feel really sharp and I’m really happy with how everything has gone during training. This is the opportunity that I’ve worked so hard to get to and I’m definitely not letting it slip by. I know that everything needs to be 100 percent on fight night so I’m pushing myself to be ready to do whatever it takes to leave with the belt.”

 

Sur son adversaire:

“Benavidez is a strong guy who’s coming in with a lot of support behind him, but I’m not going to let any of that distract me from my preparation. Me and my trainer are going to have a great game plan for him. I know he wants to be active and smother me and we’re going to show him all of the parts of my game.”

Eddie Mustafa Muhammad:

“I got Ronald sparring with the IBF’s number-one super middleweight contender, Jose Uzcategui. He’s giving us good work, too—he can fight. We also sparred Badou Jack for a couple rounds. We’ve got an abundance of guys that we’re working with.

 

“The way they’re talking about Benavidez, it’s like he’s King Kong. But it’s good—perfect! Ronald is a boxer-puncher, he can adapt. That’s the whole key. He has a wealth of amateur experience. This is our opportunity. We’ve talked about this for a while now, and Ronald is at a point where he’s ready right now…It’s going to be a great fight.”

 

J'Leon Amour

  • He trains at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas.
  • His trainer is Theo Chambers.
  • He’s been in training camp for about five months

 

Love on training camp:

“My training camp—it’s been months! I started training in April. Being that we had fights fall out, I always stayed in the gym. That’s the hardest part, because I feel like I’ve had bad luck with fights falling out. But one thing I can say—we train our ass off! I just want to go on vacation after this.”

 

“We’ve had a lot of good sparring—Lionell Thompson and Denis Douglin have been in here working. We’ve had so many sparring partners throughout this camp, and we’ve just been working, working, working.

 

Sur son adversaire:

“I remember Abie Han from the amateurs. He’s always been a tough fighter. You can’t look past anybody. Everybody comes in that ring to fight. Everybody comes in with a different mode or a different drive, so this may be the drive he has to really come out and explode on the scene and beat me. Si, I’m taking him absolutely, positively serious, like he’s a world championship fighter and we’re fighting for the world title.”

 

Abraham “The Sun City Warrior” Han

  • Trains out of his father’s martial arts studio in El Paso, Texas (Han’s Martial Arts).
  • He is trained by Louie Burke — 56 ans; former pro junior lightweight, retired in 1985 avec un record de 19-3, 12 KOs; won the “ESPN Junior Lightweight Title” on Apr. 14, 1983, with a 12-round unanimous decision against Freddie Roach; also won a 10-round decision against Roach in the rematch on Nov. 10, 1983.
  • He has sparred with former world champion Austin Trout.

 

Han on training camp:

“I train at my dad’s martial arts studio in El Paso – Han’s Martial Arts. I’m sparring mostly with local people from El Paso, and I also sparred with Austin Trout.

 

“I’ve been working hard and working with Austin (Truite) and that makes a big difference. Austin makes me so much better. He’s been a world champion and he will be a world champion again. His expertise and his knowledge is amazing. He’s been in those situations and he tells me little things along the way and I think that will make all the difference in this fight.”

 

Caleb “Sweet Hands” Plant

  • Moved to Las Vegas from Nashville about a year ago to train
  • He is trained by Justin Gamber and his father Richie Plant.

 

Plant on training camp:

I’ve been living in Las Vegas for more than a year now – since August 24th, 2016. I’ve been in the gym consistently this whole time since my last fight, but my ‘officialtraining camp will be seven or eight weeks. We bounce around to a couple of different gyms for sparring. I’ve had good work this camp – great sparring, good strength and conditioning, good gym work, and I’ve had good rest. I have a good diet.

 

I know every boxer says, 'Oh, this is my best camp,’ and a lot of times they don’t mean it. But this has literally been my best camp. Things are very smooth.”

 

Andrew Hernandez

  • He is managed by his wife Jacquie Hernandez and trained by Alan Beirs.
  • Alfred Quintana serves as his cut man and strength and conditioning coach.
  • A late replacement, Hernandez got the call on Aug. 29 and accepted the fight; contract signed the next day.
  • Trains at Gents Gym in Arrowhead, Ariz.

 

What Hernandez has to say:

I’ve known my trainer, Alan Beirs, for a while. He actually helped me with my last couple of fights – we’ve only been together maybe six months or so. He worked my corner in February, but we weren’t working completely together. Then when I got back in the gym in March, that’s when we really started working together.

 

I train at a place called Gents Gym in Arrowhead, Ariz. I trained there with the Busted Knuckles Boxing crew – that’s Alan Beirscrew. We’re all pushing each other to get better and I know they’ll have me ready for fight night.”

“Ce soir, était sur le point de rester contrôlé. Je ne voulais pas aller là-bas et forcer quoi que ce soit. Je voulais juste pour se détendre et s'installer derrière mon jab, utiliser mes évanouissements, et il suffit de prendre les coups de feu qui étaient là pour moi.
“J'espère qu'une victoire comme ça ouvre des portes pour moi. Le 168 lbs division est dans ma poche arrière. Je suis juste prendre un combat à la fois et nous allons atteindre notre objectif.

“J'espère que pour les grands combats à chaque fois. Nous ne voulons pas de touchers. J'ai essayé d'obtenir des combats avec des perspectives top, les gars avec quelques titres mineurs, mais ils ne prendront pas la lutte. Je ne peux pas laisser me dérange bien, parce que je sais que je suis un haut risque pour ces gars-là. Il pourrait être au début de ma carrière, mais je peux faire les ajustements et tout faire.”

“Même si cela était un poids plus lourd que ce que je suis habitué à combattre, J'ai eu aucun problème de manipulation de sa taille.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama. (Février 25, 2017) – Undefeated heavyweight world champion Deontay “Le Bomber Bronze” Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) knocked out Gerald “Le Coq Noir” Washington (18-1-1, 12 KOs) in the fifth round of the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama.
In front of a crowd of 12,346 les fans, Wilder was able to give his home state crowd another scintillating victory. Although Washington stole some of the early rounds, Wilder’s patience paid off as he was able to find his pace and finish Washington in the fifth frame.
In the blistering televised opener, Dominic Breazeale (18-1, 16 KOs) stopped previously unbeaten Izuagbe Ugonoh (17-1, 14 KOs). Ugonoh controlled the fight early landing heavy blows to both Breazeale’s body and head, but Breazeale was able to compose himself and stormed back to knock out Ugonoh in impressive fashion.
The co-main event featured Jarrett Hurd (20-0, 14 KOs) knocking out Tony Harrison (24-2, 20 KOs) in the ninth round of their contest.
Voici ce que les combattants avaient à dire à la suite de leur combat:
Deontay Wilder
I knew he was going to come in excited to fight for a world title. I just kept calm and found my rhythm. I really knew he was going to tire out, and when he did I took advantage.
It was all about timing. I’m very smart when it comes to using different tactics in the ring.
Fighting here in Alabama is a blessing. The people here show up to support me and I love them for it. I’m always going to support and be here for my Alabama family. To see the crowd’s response tonight meant a lot to me.
As I’ve been saying, I’m looking to unify the division. I think it’s critical to have one fighter and one champion, and that’s Deontay Wilder. Let’s hope Joseph Parker is ready for me because I’m definitely ready for him.
GERALD WASHINGTON
I just got a little impatient. I was trying to go for it. It was an even boxing match. I could have kept it like that and kept it boring. I don’t know why I fell asleep there. I guess I lost a little focus.
I caught him with one shot when he was coming in. But instead of me keeping that play going and keep pushing him back and keep him in control by keeping him in the center of the ring, I tried to get on him. I was trying to play a little counter punch role and catch him coming in. He just caught me.
It’s just an experience. You have to follow the game plan and stay focused, stay patient. You may not get all the shots you want in the beginning, but you have to play the game all the way out and then things will start to happen.
JARRETT HURD
We wanted to take our time with him because Harrison can box and move. But every time he fights he wears down toward the end.
During the sixth round, he caught me with a good shot inside my left eye. But I managed to fight through it and get the win.
It feels great to be a champion. I’ve never had a feeling this great before. It’s pure Accokeek power. I can finally pull my pants up now. My pants were falling down, but I finally got my belt.
DOMINIC Breazeale
It took a little time for me to find my pace, but eventually I found my Rhythm. Izu came in in great shape and with guns blazing. He came at me with some stuff that I wasn’t expecting. Him being the lighter guy I wasn’t really expecting the power he possessed.
I was able to connect some big shots tonight, especially with my right hand. You see what happens when I put him down and he never really recovered.
Coming off the loss to Joshua, this win puts me right back in there. This is what I’ve always asked for. My team does an incredible job of getting me any fight I ask for, and I wanted to fight an undefeated guy like Izu. Ce est un grand, fort, athletic guy.
“Ce soir, the story was about me having the heart of a lion, getting knocked down, but getting right back up to finish this fight.
IZUAGBE UGONOH
I expected that I was going to knock him out. I believed I would accomplish that, but he didn’t surprise me with anything. I was landing some good shots to both his body and his face.
Breazeale showed a lot of heart though, and I think that his experience really helped him. I think a fight like Anthony Joshua really helped him realize that he could take anything and win the fight. He did that tonight.
“Honnêtement, I just got tired. I gave him what I had and then I got tired. When he came back at me I wasn’t able to keep up and finish through on my game plan.
The plan was to really use my double jab, and I’m not making any excuses. C'est le jeu de combat. Ce fut une grande opportunité pour moi, a big step up, and I was hoping to get it done. Je n'ai pas, but that is part of sports. I’m not used to losing, but that time came today. I’m still a dangerous man to fight.
