Shapiro Sports Fighters Shine On The Big Stage

Skryf 'n opmerking

Los Angeles, SOOS (Januarie 3, 2022) – One of boxing’s newest promotional outfits, Shapiro Sports had a breakout month as a handful of it’s world-class boxer’s put on dynamic performances.


On December 11th, Marlon Tapales (35-3, 18 Uitklophoue) won the IBF Super Bantamweight Title Eliminator at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Kalifornië .

Tapales scored an explosive 2nd round stoppage of tough Japanese title challenger Hiroaki Teshigawara (22-2). Met die oorwinning, Tapales of the Philippines is now in position to become the mandatory challenger for IBF/WBA world champion Murodjon Akhmadaliev.

On Christmas day, highly touted Cuban prospect Yoelvis “La Joya” Gomez (5-0 5 KO se) made an emphatic American debut with an emphatic 1st round stoppage over former Top Rank Bubble darling, Klei Collard. The bout was seen on a telecast that was viewed by 2.3 million viewers on FOX.

Gomez, the son of former Cuban Olympic Gold Medalist Jose Gomez, destroyed Clay Collard (9-5-3) in 1 ronde. Collard is known to many boxing fans for upsetting three previous undefeated prospects. Collard had never been stopped before at 154 £, and was expected to give the undefeated Gomez a tough test, the impressive Gomez landed thudding power shots that hurt Collard repeatedly and forced the fight to be stopped in the opening frame.

This past Saturday night in Hollywood, Florida, Shapiro Sports undefeated heavyweight prospects faced off as Cuban’s, Lenier Pero & Geovany Bruzon, matched up in an entertaining slugfest that saw Pero pound out a very competitive eight-round unanimous decision against his countryman Bruzon.

The fight was televised live on the FOX Prelims to the Luis Ortiz – Charles Martin Pay-Per-View Card.

“This is by far the best group of fighters that I have worked with in my eight years in boxing. All of these fighters had statement performances that will position themselves to capitalize on great opportunities in 2022 and the future. Marlon Tapales came off of a two-year layoff to make a world class Japanese fighter look very ordinary, and position himself for the world title in early 2022. Yoelvis Gomez stole the Christmas Day show like the Grinch, and he became a name to watch for many boxing fans. Llastly, Lenier Pero and Geovany Bruzon both showed that they will be major players in the heavyweight division for years to come. 2022 will be a great year for all of my fighters,” said Shane Shapiro, CEO of Shapiro Sports.


Shapiro Sports co-promotes Gomez, Pero and Bruzon with Warriors Boxing and Boxing Major League.


Tapales is co-promoted with Viva Promotions and MP Promotions.
In addition to Tapales, Gomez, Pero and Bruzon, Shapiro Sports promotes or co-promotes: veergewigtitel in 'n 10-ronde swaargewig kragmeting in die mede-funksie (23-1, 17 Uitklophoue), super liggewig Abram Martinez (9-0-1, 7 Uitklophoue), middelgewigtitel Landry Kore (11-1-1, 6 Uitklophoue), liggewig Fradimil Macayo (15-1, 13 Uitklophoue), super liggewig Joniker Tovar (20-0-1, 15 Uitklophoue), en kapokgewig Dervin Rodriguez (8-0-1, 8 Uitklophoue).

Met uitsonderlike krag en sublieme tegniese vaardighede, Ortiz (32-2, 27 Uitklophoue) is al jare 'n wedstryd bo-op swaargewigranglys, met sy enigste nederlae in onvergeetlike kompetisies teen die voormalige jarelange swaargewigkampioen Deontay Wilder. Gebore in Camaguey, Kuba en opgelei deur jarelange afrigter Herman Caicedo in Miami, Ortiz het drie gevegte tussen Wilder-kompetisies gewen, Travis Kauffman te verslaan, Christian Hammer en Razvan Cojanu. Voor daardie hardloop, Ortiz het oorwinnings oor mense soos Bryant Jennings behaal, Tony Thompson en Malik Scott om sy swaargewig-cv op te bou. Mees onlangs, Ortiz het Alexander Flores in die eerste ronde van hul November uitgeblaas 2020 einde.

“Ek kan nie wag om my aanhangers in Suid-Florida 'n wonderlike vertoning op Nuwejaarsdag te gee en nog 'n kans op die swaargewigtitel te verdien nie,” Said Ortiz. “Charles Martin is 'n goeie vegter, maar hy staan ​​in my pad. Die enigste ding in my gedagtes is om in die ring te kom en 'n groot stelling in hierdie stryd te maak om weer te wys hoekom ek deur die swaargewigafdeling gevrees word.”

Die 35-jarige Martin (28-2-1, 25 Uitklophoue) het in Januarie swaargewigkampioen geword 2016 toe hy met TKO gewen het teen destyds onoorwonne Vyacheslav Glazkov. Nadat hy sy titel aan Anthony Joshua verloor het, Martin het vyf van sy laaste ses gevegte gewen, met al sy oorwinnings wat binne die verte kom. Oorspronklik van St. Louis, woon nou in Las Vegas en oefen tans in Suid-Kalifornië saam met Manny Robles, Martin het teruggekeer na 'n nederlaag met 'n noue beslissing na Adam Kownacki in 2018 om drie agtereenvolgende oorwinnings te behaal, insluitend die mees onlangse uitklophou van Gerald Washington in Februarie 2020.

“Niemand wil teen my veg nie en niemand wil met Ortiz veg nie, so ons sal mekaar baklei,” sê Martin. “Ek gaan Januarie vir die wêreld wys 1 hoekom ek 'n titelskoot verdien. Ek het my ledegeld betaal en ek wil my gordel terughê. Om Ortiz te klop, gaan my 'n stap nader aan daardie doelwit bring. Om twee keer swaargewigkampioen te word, Ek moet eers verby Ortiz kom, so dit is presies wat ek gaan doen.”

'n Amateur-uitblinker uit sy geboorteland Kuba, Sánchez (19-0, 13 Uitklophoue) oefen nou in San Diego saam met die topafrigter Eddy Reynoso. Die 29-jarige het besig gebly met sy styging op die swaargewigranglys, drie oorwinnings behaal in 2020 aangesien hy 'n eenparige besluit oor Joey Dawejko verdien en Brian Howard en Julian Fernandez gestop het. Sanchez het mees onlangs 'n loopbaanbeste oorwinning in Oktober behaal, voorheen onoorwonne Efe Ajagba laat val op pad na 'n eenparige besluitoorwinning.

“Ek is bly om so gou terug te wees nadat ek Agjaba geklop het, maar die werk begin eers,” Said Sanchez. “Daar is baie meer om te doen. Ek glo ek sal die eerste swaargewigkampioen in Kubaanse geskiedenis wees. Negron is 'n sterk, gevaarlike teenstander. Ek sal my beste moet wees, maar ek is vol vertroue dat ek as oorwinnaars sal uitkom. Ek glo in my span, en my span glo in my. Ons sal die nuwe jaar begin 20-0, bly besig en maak 'n sterk argument vir 'n wêreldtitel teen jaareinde.”

Die 2008 Puerto Ricaanse Olimpiese Negron (25-3, 20 Uitklophoue) ry 'n wenreeks van vyf gevegte in Januarie 1, insluitend vier oorwinnings deur onderbreking. Die 34-jarige het teruggekeer van nederlae teen Dominic Breazeale en Brian Howard om sy wenreeks saam te stel, wat 'n Maart insluit 2020 uitklophou oor voorheen onoorwonne Robert Alfonso. Negron het sedertdien professioneel geveg 2009 en woon nou in Miami waar hy saam met Luis Ortiz oefen.

“Dit is 'n wonderlike geleentheid vir my om 'n sterk opkomende vegter te wen en vir almal te wys waartoe ek in staat is,” het Negron gesê. “Ek oefen hard en ek het goeie sparring gehad om gereed te wees vir enigiets wat Sanchez gaan bring. My ervaring en voorbereiding gaan die verskil wees. Ek is uiters gemotiveerd om die ondersteuners 'n groot stryd te gee en myself in posisie te plaas om 'n wêreldtitelgeleentheid te kry.”

Gebore in Suid-Carolina en veg nou uit Los Angeles, Rys (14-6-1, 10 Uitklophoue) sal probeer om 'n loopbaan-beste vertoning in die herontmoeting teen Coffie te herhaal, nadat hy die voorheen onoorwonne vegter in die vyfde ronde in Julie gestuit het. Rice het ses van sewe gevegte van gewen 2018 deur 2019 voor 'n paar verliese in 2020 teen die destydse onoorwonne Efe Ajagba en Demsey McKean. In 'n professionele loopbaan wat dateer uit 2014, die vlekke op Rice se rekords het almal teen voorheen onoorwonne vegters gekom.

“In my laaste geveg teen Coffie, Ek het daar ingegaan om myself te bewys en te doen waarvoor ek geoefen het,” sê Rice. “Dit was sink of swem, en ek het bo uitgekom. Nou moet ek Januarie daar uitgaan 1 en wys dat dit nie 'n gelukskoot was nie. Dit is 'n wonderlike stadium vir my om my talente te wys en te bewys dat ek tot groot dinge in staat is. Ek wil die aanhangers 'n goeie vertoning gee en ek weet dat Coffie dieselfde doen. Moenie hierdie geveg misloop nie.”

Koffie (12-1, 9 Uitklophoue) hoop om terug te bons van sy eerste loopbaannederlaag nadat hy die eerste wedstryd teen Rice in Julie laat vaar het. ’n Marine Corps-veteraan wat boks opgetel het nadat hy van oorsee teruggekeer het, Coffie het vinnig genoeg beïndruk in amateurtoernooie om sparringopdragte met Deontay Wilder en Adam Kownacki te verdien. Hy is in die Bronx gebore, maar treine nou in Orlando, Florida en deurgebreek in 2020 met drie oorheersende stopoorwinnings, insluitend uitklophoue oor voorheen onoorwonne teenstanders Darmani Rock en Luis Pena.

“Ek wil dit terugkry en dit 'n werklike stryd maak hierdie keer teen Jonny Rice,” sê Coffie. "Verlede tyd, Ek was in 'n posisie waar ek teëspoed ondervind het, en ek moes 'n besluit neem om deur te gaan met die geveg. Ek weet dat ek deur teëspoed kan veg, en op Januarie 1, Ek sal gereed wees vir watter kant toe die stryd ook al gaan. op Januarie 1, daar sal 'n geveg wees.”

Washington was onoorwonne in sy eerste 19 pro-gevegte voordat hy sy wêreldtitel-uitdaging in Februarie aan Deontay Wilder laat vaar het 2017.

“Ek sien uit daarna om op 1 Januarie terug te stap in die ring,” gesê Washington. “Ek is gereed om te gaan werk en myself weer in posisie te kry vir 'n paar groot gevegte. My ondervinding gaan om die verskil in hierdie stryd wees. Dit gaan 'n wonderlike aand van swaargewigaksie wees!”

A 2016 Olimpiese Spele vir Turkye, Demirezen (14-1, 11 Uitklophoue) het uit Hamburg geveg, Duitsland in die professionele geledere sedert hy laat pro word 2016. Die 31-jarige het sy eerste gewen 11 pro gevegte, insluitend 'n tweede ronde onderbreking van Rad Rashid om 'n Europese swaargewigtitel te verower 2018.

Sedert daardie nederlaag, Demirezen het drie agtereenvolgende oorwinnings behaal, mees onlangs stop Nikola Milacic in Maart.

"Ek het baie geleer uit my verlies teen Ajagba en ek sien daarna uit om nog 'n kans te kry om in die VSA te boks," sê Demirezen. “Ek is steeds kwaad oor die Ajagba-geveg, want ek weet dat ek kon wen. Ek wil nou wys dat ek op hierdie verhoog hoort. Ek is trots om in hierdie posisie te wees om te wys wat ek kan doen en ek gaan die geleentheid ten beste benut.”

Die 29-jarige Faust (8-0, 6 Uitklophoue) het in Februarie pro geword 2020 na 'n uitgebreide amateurloopbaan wat uit sy geboorteland Svitlovodsk geveg het, Oekraïne. Faust het sy eerste vier teenstanders uitgestof, voor die oorheersende ses en agt ronde beslissings gewen het. Na 'n eerste ronde uitklophou oor voorheen onoorwonne Jacek Piatek in Mei, Faust het sy V.S. debuut in Oktober, Mike Marshall twee keer laat val op pad na 'n derde ronde TKO-oorwinning.

“Ek is baie opgewonde om terug te veg in die VSA. weer op 1 Januarie,” het Faust gesê. “Ek is hartlik verwelkom en om aan die staat te veg voel al soos my sitkamer. Ek hou van die atmosfeer. Dit is 'n wonderlike kans om myself te wys op hierdie betaal-per-kyk-program teen 'n baie hoë gehalte teenstander. Ek sal nie aanhangers teleurstel wanneer ek die ring instap nie.”

Kiladze (27-5-1, 19 Uitklophoue) het in September teruggekeer na die wenkolom, met 'n uitklopoorwinning oor Mathew McKinney. Sedert hy voltyds in die staat begin veg het 2017, Kiladze se verliese het teen die top-swaargewigte Adam Kownacki gekom, Michael Hunter, Efe Ajagba en Joe Joyce, wat 'n gekombineerde sport gehad het 45-1 rekord op pad na hul wedstryde teen Kiladze.

ARLINGTON, TX. (Maart 17, 2019) – Errol Spence Jr. retained his IBF Welterweight World Championship in his hometown in front of 47,525 fans with a unanimous decision over four-division world champion Mikey Garcia in the main event of the first Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event Saturday night from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

“The motivation fighting in front of my hometown crowd made me feel great,” sê Spence. “These people have supported me since day one and I wanted to put on a good performance for all of them.”

“I really appreciate the love and support of the fans tonight,” Said Garcia. “It’s a great night and all the credit to Errol, he’s a great champion. He’s the truth. He executed his game plan very well.”

The bout started technical, with Spence pumping a consistent jab and attempting to cut the ring off while Garcia was patiently looking for a chance to counter. Garcia had some success early throwing counter left hooks over Spence’s jab, but was never able to get in a rhythm against the busier champion.

“He came out here with a good game plan and kept the distance at his favor,” Said Garcia. “I couldn’t get my rhythm going and he did what he had to do. I tried to make adjustments and he kept executing.”

In die vierde ronde, Spence dominated most of the action before Garcia made a late surge and forced Spence into a defensive crouch for the final moments of the round. Garcia kept that energy going early in round five, putting Spence on the defensive temporarily before he regained his momentum and returned to connecting on powerful straight lefts.

Spence increased his body-punching as the fight went on and looked to wear down the fighter who was moving up in weight. Garcia began bleeding from his nose in round eight, at which point Spence increased his output and landed 35, 29, 34 en 25 punches in rounds nine through 12 onderskeidelik, according to CompuBox.

“Throughout training camp, a lot of commentators thought he was too smart and I couldn’t box as well as him,” sê Spence. “I showed I can box and I can move my head if I want to. The game is to be smart, it’s the sweet science. I had the size and reach advantage, so why not use it to take away the jab? It’s a weapon for me and it takes away one of his weapons.”

“I was able to hold my own,” Said Garcia. “I felt good and I felt strong myself. I think he felt my power, but he definitely has power also.”

While Garcia showed his mettle in making it the distance, Spence was simply too effective, with one judge even scoring round 11 10-8 for Spence. Spence threw a career-high 1082 punches and out landed Garcia by a staggering 345 te 75 marge.

After 12-rounds of action, all three judges saw the fight for Spence, deur tellings van 120-108 twee keer en 120-107.

“I give Mikey Garcia all the credit for taking this fight,” sê Spence. “Mikey and I put on a great show in front of all these lovely fans. I respect him so much and I appreciate him for stepping up.”

“We just went 12-rounds with a great welterweight champion,” Said Garcia. “That’s a feat no one has done recently. I’m proud of what I was able to do. I have to go back and think about it. I will probably go back to lighter divisions but we’ll have to think about it.”

Na afloop van die stryd, Spence declared that he wanted to fight boxing legend and welterweight titleholder Manny Pacquiao volgende, who entered the ring after the fight.

“He’s broken records here before, he’s a legend in the sport and it’d be my honor to fight him next,” sê Spence.

“Ja, why not?” het Pacquiao gesê, when asked about facing Spence next. “We’ll give the fans a good fight. I’m so happy to be here at AT&T Stadium and I hope I will be back here soon.”

In die mede-hoofren, unbeaten former 168-pound world champion David Benavidez(21-0, 18 Uitklophoue) oorheers J'Leon Love (24-3-1, 13 Uitklophoue) to earn a second-round stoppage in their super middleweight matchup.

“It’s a dream come true to fight on this stage in front of these fans,” said Benavidez. “These fans give me the motivation to get up every day and go the extra mile.”

From the opening bell Love sought to crowd the taller Benavidez, but the 22-year-old Benavidez quickly made him pay, landing a powerful left hook that stunned Love. Love was able to last the round, but took more powerful hooks from Benavidez before the bell.

“I expected to knock him out, but when I hit him with the first god shot, Ek het geweet hy gaan nie hou nie,” said Benavidez. “I tried to pace myself, but it wasn’t necessary tonight.”

Benavidez wasted little time in the second round, delivering power shots that put Love on the run. Benavidez caught Love with a clean combo on the ropes that stunned Love and forced referee Laurence Cole to jump in and stop the bout 1:14 in die tweede ronde, as Benavidez began to throw furious combos.

“He was getting his shots off, but I don’t think I was taking too much punishment,” said Love. “I wasn’t out of the game completely but he did catch me with a couple good shots.”

Na afloop van die bout, Benavidez set his sights on WBC Super Middleweight Champion Anthony Dirrell, who was in attendance at the fight.

“I saw Anthony Dirrell with the WBC belt. He can’t call himself champion until he fights me. That’s my belt. I’m going to go get it. It’s mine.”

Additional action featured former bantamweight champion Luis Nery (29-0, 23 Uitklophoue) knock down former champion McJoe Arroyo (18-3, 8 Uitklophoue) four times on his way to a fifth-round victory by stoppage in his U.S. debuut.

“We’re two great fighters who were here to put on a show,” said Nery. “That’s what you have to expect from fighters of our caliber. I’m happy to start on the right foot here in my U.S. debut and show everyone I’m still the best at bantamweight.”

Nery stalked Arroyo from the opening bell, throwing big power shots that forced his opponent to fight off his back foot. Met 45 seconds left in round two, Nery scored his first knockdown with a left that stunned him and follow-up combination that put Arroyo on the canvas.

Arroyo was unable to keep the hard-charging Nery from coming forward and again hit the mat late in round three, as a wide left hook hurt Arroyo before he was put down from a flurry that followed. The trouble continued for Arroyo in round four, as he was knocked down twice more in the final minute of the round.

“I never felt like I was dazed or anything, they were just hard punches,” said Arroyo. “I went down but got right back up. If it were up to me I’d have kept going. I have to give respect to my opponent for his performance. This isn’t the end of my career. I’ve seen him fight before but I was surprised by his power. It was his night tonight.”

After the fourth round, Arroyo’s corner stopped the bout, making the official stoppage 10 seconds into round five. Nery dominated the bout, out landing Arroyo 87 te 36, terwyl landing 44 persent van sy krag stoot.

“We’re going to train hard and hopefully by June, we’ll have the belt back,” said Nery. “I want to win back my belt, then unify the division.”

The opening bout on pay-per-view saw heavyweight fan-favorite Chris Arreola (38-5-1, 33 Uitklophoue) score a third-round stoppage over previously unbeaten Jean Pierre Augustin (17-1-1, 12 Uitklophoue).

“Augustin is a hungry kid who tried to make a name off of me,” Said Arreola. “I lose and I’m out, but I’m not going out. I touched him a couple of times and saw he was hurt. I stayed calm and the stoppage came.”

After blood started pouring from Arreola’s nose towards the end of round two, the Riverside, California-native got off to a quick start in round three, connecting with a straight left that stunned Augustin and nearly sent him to the canvas in the opening seconds.

As the round progressed, Augustin tried to hold and move to regain his composure, but was eventually caught with a flurry in the neutral corner that put him on the canvas. While he got up and was able to continue, another flurry in Augustin’s corner, including a big overhand left, eventually forced referee Neal Young to stop the fight 2:03 in die derde ronde.

“Every fighter feels like they can continue, maar dit is wat dit is, it’s out of my control,” said Augustin. “I was more stunned than hurt, but he jumped on me and finished.”

In the dominant final round Arreola landed 18 van 30 krag stoot, compared to just three punches landed in the round by Augustin.

“Ek is mal veg,” Said Arreola. “We’re both were trying to beat each other up and I love it. I’m blessed to be a fighter.”

Voorafbetaal, PBC Prelims on FS1 featured former heavyweight champion Charles Martin (26-2-1. 23 Uitklophoue) winning via disqualification against previously unbeaten Gregory Corbin (15-1, 9 Uitklophoue) in the eighth-round of their showdown. After deducting a point from Corbin in rounds four, five and six because of low blows, referee Mark Calo-oy stopped the bout in round eight after another low blow. The official time of the disqualification came 53 seconds into round eight.

“I don’t think he really wanted to fight, he wanted to hit me low and see how much he could get away with,” sê Martin. “I could sense that he didn’t want to engage anymore.”

“Dit is wat dit is, I thought I was hitting him on the belt,” said Corbin. “We wanted to go to the body, I thought he was tired. I hurt him once, but the low blows did it for me.”

“We’re going to get back in camp, take a few days off and then get back to work,” sê Martin. “We’re staying busy in 2019.”

ARLINGTON, TX. (Maart 13, 2019) – Unbeaten IBF Welterweight World ChampionErrol Spence Jr. and undefeated four-division champion Mikey Garcia went face-to-face at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas Wednesday at the final press conference before they go toe-to-toe at the same venue this Saturday in a Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event.

Spence and Garcia shared their thoughts on Saturday’s highly anticipated event and posed for photos for media in attendance ahead of this historic event.

Tickets for Saturday’s event, which is promoted by Man Down Promotions and Garcia Promotions, in association with TGB Promotions and Ringstar Sports, is nou op die rakke, en kan gekoop word by SeatGeek.com, the Official Ticketing Provider of AT&T Stadium.

Hier is wat die perskonferensie deelnemers moes Woensdag sê:

ERROL SPENCE JR.

“This is a dream come true fighting in my hometown at AT&T Stadium. I can’t wait to put on a great performance. Seeing Mikey’s face here today, it’s got me hungrier than ever to put on a great performance

“The size difference won’t matter. Skill for skill and talent for talent, I’m more dominant than him in every aspect. I’ll beat him at anything he wants to do. On paper he’s the toughest opponent to date, but once we get in the ring we’ll find out.

“I don’t think anyone has the power to knock me out. We don’t allow that kind of mentality into training camp. I hope he tries though.

“Mikey is supposed to think he’s going to win this fight. He called me out, so they obviously think that they see something. I’m glad he’s as confident as I am. I hope he keeps that same energy inside of the ring.

“Our training camp, we train for a hard 12 ronde stryd. We prepare for a bruising fight. If I knock him out early, then that’s a bonus. We trained for the distance because we know anything can happen in a fight.

“I’m always calm, that’s just my demeanor. I could talk to Mikey Garcia in the locker room before the fight then come out and knock his head off. I’m always on go. I’m naturally like this. I’ve been ready to go for eight weeks. I’m tired of seeing him and I’m just ready for fight night.

“I can’t worry about what Mikey sees in me. I let my coach worry about it. Everyone thinks they see something looking on the outside, but it’s a lot harder once you’re in the ring.

“This win makes me pound-for-pound number one. Mikey has a great record and a big fan base and I feel like winning this fight turns me into a star. Everyone wants to take Floyd Mayweather’s place as the face of boxing, and this puts me on the right track to become the face of boxing and the best fighter in the world.

“This is a legendary fight. This is where we see what fighters are made of. There have been a lot of great fights when little guys came up and beat a bigger fighter. You can’t ever write off the little guy. This is going to be a hard fight.

“I know I’m the best fighter in the world and I’m going to show it Saturday night. I’m going to punish him and make him wish he took his brother’s advice to not take this fight.”

Mikey GARCIA

“I have all the tools and all the skills needed to beat Errol Spence Jr. When it comes to timing, spoed, reflexes and defense, you name it, I’m better.

“Here in Texas, it’s like a second home. I’ve won two world titles here. Having great fan support at the grand arrival was a special moment for me.

“I’ve got to go in there Saturday night and show why I picked this fight. I want to make history and this is the one that will get me there.

“I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to win this fight. We trained very hard. Ons kan gaan 12 rounds for sure. Maar, if I get a chance to hurt my opponent, I’m definitely going to jump on him and get the knockout.

“Saterdag nag, Errol is going to find out why I picked this fight. All of my opponents say they don’t see anything special when they watch me, until they get into the ring.

“I know what I have to do on fight night. I know all the work that I put in. I didn’t put all that effort in for nothing. Saterdag nag, I have to execute. Once I get inside the ring, that switch will turn on.

“I have to fight the best fight of my life. If I don’t, then I can’t overcome the challenge. You don’t win a fight with size and weight. We fight smart, we fight intelligently and pick our shots. There are a lot of factors. That’s how I win this fight.

“Getting this victory will forever leave my name in the history books. No other fighter is daring to do what I’m doing. I’m here to make history and this fight does that. This fight is about big challenges and obstacles.

“All the attention and buzz about this fight is for real. It’s not often you get a fight like this. Undefeated champions in their prime facing each other. If you want to witness history, you better buy a ticket or the pay-per-view.”

DERRICK JAMES, Spence se afrigter

“Getting up on the stage today, it was like fight night. I feel what Errol and Mikey are feeling. It’s go-time for both of these guys.

“Mikey Garcia is a great opponent, but he’s still just another opponent. We’re going to go in there and show him why we’re better. Errol is feeling great, so I am too.

“Ring intelligence is definitely one of Mikey’s best attributes. But he’s never been in the ring with Errol. Errol has been in the ring sparring with Floyd Mayweather before and I don’t think Mikey has the same ring intelligence as him.

“Errol knows what he should be doing and what he shouldn’t be doing during fight week. He will be ready on Saturday night.”

ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Trainer

“Not only have all of our sparring partners told us this, but his opponents always say the same thing. Once they’re in the ring, they realize how hard Mikey hits and how strong he is. Spence doesn’t know that but he’ll find out Saturday.

“A lot of fighters have problems with southpaws like Spence, but Mikey has a lot of experience facing lefties and I’m confident that won’t be a factor.

“Spence’s style is pretty basic, so it’s not too hard to find sparring partners to emulate him. Spence does everything right, just like Mikey. From a preparation standpoint, his style isn’t a big challenge.

“We haven’t just been facing regular sparring partners. They’re experienced, talented and undefeated fighters. He’s facing middleweights to get ready for this one and I know he will be.”

ARLINGTON, TX. (Maart 5, 2019) – IBF Welterweight World Champion Errol Spence Jr. and four-division world champion Mikey Garcia hosted separate media workouts in Dallas and Riverside, SOOS. respectively on Tuesday as they near their historic showdown that headlines the first Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event Saturday, Maart 16 from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Spence hosted media at World Class Boxing Gym in Dallas and was joined by undefeated former super middleweight champion David Benavidez, wat op neemJ'Leon Love in PBC on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View action. Garcia’s workout also featured heavyweight fan-favorite Chris Arreola, who participated in the workout at Robert Garcia Boxing Academy and will face Jean Pierre Augustin in Pay-Per-View action beginning at 9 namiddag. ET / 6 pm. PT.

Tickets for this showdown, wat deur TGB Promotions en Ringstar Sports bevorder word, is nou op die rakke, en kan gekoop word by SeatGeek.com, the Official Ticketing Provider of AT&T Stadium.

Here is what the fighters and more had say Tuesday from the two media events:

ERROL SPENCE JR.

“Ek is regtig opgewonde vir hierdie stryd, especially to have it at AT&T Stadium. Ek is 100% focused and ready for next week. This fight is going to have a bigger crowd, be more electrifying and will just be an amazing event overall.

“A lot of times when I’m in AT&T Stadium watching the NFL games, or watching Pacquiao fights or Canelo fights, the jumbotrons are so big that you get caught up looking up even when you’re ringside. It’s great because there isn’t a bad seat in the place with the jumbotron.

“This is definitely one of those crossover fights for me. Garcia is the biggest name to date that I’m fighting on American soil. It’s just great being so young in my career, fighting in my first pay-per-view and fighting with a guy like Garcia who brings over a different fanbase.

“You can tell how I looked ten weeks ago compared to how I look now. I’m not overlooking Garcia. I’m in tip-top shape, slim and ready. The difference is that now in a pay-per-view fight you have to be more dedicated and focused to promote the fight, showing that you are a star in boxing and sports media.

“If you know me and you know my boxing style, you know I’m never in a boring fight. Even if it’s just me beating up my opponent, or them just being hurt, I’m always going to try to stop my opponent and put on a spectacular performance.

“I put that pressure to look great on myself, not just because I’m undefeated or because everybody says this about me, I do it for myself to put on a great performance and a great show. I want to do that so great guys can look at me and think about if they want to fight me or not. That’s why a lot of guys don’t want to fight me.”

Mikey GARCIA

“A lot of people underestimate the power when they face me. They don’t see my physical size as a threat. But you know they feel the power once we’re in the ring and definitely change their minds.

“(I wanted to fight Spence) because he’s the best right now in the (weltergewig) afdeling. I want to make a statement. I want to make a mark, and you know I have to do that against the best.

“I believe I’m a better fighter overall. When it comes to footwork, I think I have the better footwork. When it comes to speed, I think I have better speed. When it comes to defense, I have better defense. With timing, I have better timing. All of these things are what will help me win this fight. The only thing that he has going for him that’s apparent is the size, height, weight and reach.

“I’ve always said I’m better than him. Not by a lot, but just enough to beat him. He also reminds me of myself in a lot of ways, the way he fights, the way he is. He does everything well, good footwork, Goeie spoed, controls the fight at his distance that he likes… In a lot of ways, it resembles the way I fight. But I still feel that I’m better in every one of those ways and that’s what I’m betting on.”

DAVID Benavidez

“I’m extremely excited to be fighting in front of 40,000-plus people in the co-main event on March 16. It’s like a dream come true fighting at AT&T Stadium.

“I’m looking forward to going in and getting a knockout… I’ve been training extremely hard. Three months of training for this camp. It’s been good. I have like six pounds left to lose, so I haven’t struggled with the weight at all. I’ve been on a diet for at least three months now. The work has been done in and outside of the ring. Everything has been perfect leading up to this fight and I’m extremely ready.

“It was difficult (losing my title). I beat myself for that belt. In 2019, we are not taking any steps back, only forward.

“There are a lot of good fights I know that can be made. So, I am very excited to do my part and hopefully face-off against Anthony Dirrell, Caleb Plant or Callum Smith at the end of the year. I’m already in line to fight for the WBC title, but I’ve got to first take care of my job with J’Leon Love.

“Love is a good boxer, 'n toonbank-slaner. He’s been in the game for a while now. But like I said, I’m ready for anything. I’ve studied him a lot, so I’m just ready for anything he presents.

“I want to become the undisputed champion (teen super middelgewig). That’s my ultimate goal. Then I can talk about moving up. Nou, I want all the belts.”

CHRIS ARREOLA

“Nou, my career is all about putting in the work and my legacy. I’m not in this anymore for money. I love money, but I’m comfortable. I’m here for legacy. I want to leave something behind… I’m chasing a title.

“I feel mentally sharper now. Mentally I’m just relaxed in the ring. Some people are amped the whole round. But no, I know how to relax and work the ring and work my fight.

“The main thing this time around is I’m fighting a lefty and the first three or four times being in the ring sparring it’s a little different. It’s different angles and different punches… So that’s the main thing that’s probably the hardest part is lefties and getting used to it.”

DERRICK JAMES, Spence se afrigter

“I just think Errol is so hungry and he has the ability to be great. The way he adjusts in the fights and he really sets the tone. Most of all, his fights have been one-sided. Regardless who he’s fighting against, how great they are, what their record is, what they said they’ll do to him, he’s just been able to have one-sided affairs. Hopefully we can have the same thing in this fight.

“This has been a tremendous training camp. I’ve seen how hard Errol has worked and how motivated he is. He’s extremely confident, and rightfully so. Maart 16, I know Mikey is going to come prepared, but so are we. Whatever Mikey brings into the ring, we’re going to have the answer.”

ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & Trainer

“Mikey has been there before in many championship fights. Natuurlik, this is the biggest challenge against a bigger, heavier guy. But at this point in training, I think we’re in great shape. We know (Errol) is going to be the heavier guy in the ring, but he’s not going to be the better or smarter guy.

“We’re going to fight a technical fight, especially in the first few rounds, to figure out what Errol Spence is brining into the fight. But if we have to back him up and fight on the inside, then we’re going to do what’s necessary.”

RICHARD SCHAEFER, Voorsitter & Uitvoerende hoof van Ringstar Sport

“FOX is really putting their weight behind boxing, and you’ve seen what that meant for other sports. When UFC got involved with FOX, you saw how it elevated the sport of MMA and UFC… FOX is doing the same thing now on the boxing side and I really believe it will elevate boxing. It brings the general market to this sport, and I think that’s what we’re going to see here with this pay-per-view.

“When you have a fight like Spence and Garcia, boxing fans know about it. Sports fans know about it. But the general market doesn’t really know about it. So, I think if you can market towards the general market it just opens up the flood gates as it relates to pay-per-view. And that’s the advantage FOX has compared to an ESPN.”

Gebore in St. Louis but now fighting and training out of Southern California, Martin (25-2-1, 23 Uitklophoue) showed heavy hands in racking up 20 uitklophoue in 23 fights before he captured a heavyweight world title with a victory over Vyacheslav Glazkov in January 2016. The 32-year-old bounced back from a defeat against Anthony Joshua to score two stoppage victories before losing a close decision to unbeaten Adam Kownacki in September.

Fighting out of his hometown of Dallas, Corbin (15-0, 9 Uitklophoue) will look to remain unbeaten in front of a friendly crowd.

BROOKLYN (September 9, 2018) – Shawn Porter het Saterdagaand WBC se weltergewigkampioen geword toe hy 'n noue eenparige beslissende oorwinning behaal het Danny Garcia in 'n heftige geveg regstreeks op SHOWTIME vanaf Barclays Centre, die huis van BROOKLYN boks ™, in 'n byeenkoms aangebied deur Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

Al drie beoordelaars het die stryd in die guns van Porter behaal (116-112, 115-113, 115-113) in 'n elektrifiserende geveg voor 13,058 aanhangers by die 30ste professionele boksgeleentheid by Barclays Centre. (Video-hoogtepunte hier: https://s.sho.com/2MWXfRj)

 

 

 

 

Porter verdien die gordel wat Keith Thurman, wat Porter en Garcia voorheen verslaan het, moes weens 'n besering gedwing word om te ontruim.

 

 

 

In 'n verwagte titelgeveg wat allerweë as 'n 50-50 wedstryd in boks se diepste afdeling, Garcia vs. Porter het soos geadverteer gespeel. Die verskil in totale kraghoue wat gedurende die 12-ronde-stryd beland het, was net vyf, met Garcia wat die noue voordeel behou.

 

 

 

In 'n wedstryd van akkuraatheid vs.. aktiwiteit, Porter kyk na die outworked Garcia. Hy was meedoënloos in sy aanval en gooi 742 totale slae en 544 krag stoot, landing 25 persent. Garcia, Aan die ander kant, was die meer presiese vegter, die hoër persentasie en meer betekenisvolle slae te land. Hy skakel aan 46 persent van die 304 kraghoue wat hy gegooi het. As gevolg van die kontrasterende style, die drie beoordelaars kon slegs oor vier rondes saamstem.

 

 

 

“Ek het 'n voorspelling gemaak en dit was moeilik om na te kom,” Said Porter. “Ek het gesê dat ek nie New York sonder hierdie gordel verlaat nie en ek nie New York sonder hierdie gordel verlaat nie. Ek het geweet hy gaan akkuraat wees. Die spelplan vir my was om van buite akkuraat te wees en te wys dat ek hom kon klop sonder om hom aan die toue te ruk.”

 

 

 

'N Teleurgestelde Garcia stem duidelik nie saam met die beoordelaars nie’ telkaarte.

 

 

 

“Hy gooi baie,” Said Garcia, wie val tot 7-2 in die wêreld titel gevegte. “Ek het my verdediging styf gehad, so ek het nie sy slae gevoel nie. Ek het gedink ek het die duideliker skote geland en hierdie stryd gewen.

“Ek moet agteroor sit, ontspan en kyk wat volgende vir my is.”

 

 

 

Na die aankondiging van die besluit, IBF-kampioen in die weltergewig en konsensus-top-vyf-pond-vegter Errol Spence Jr. het die ring betree om die pas bekroonde WBC-kampioen uit te daag vir 'n kitswedstryd.

 

 

 

“Op dieselfde manier as wat jy Danny geroep het, Ek gaan jou uitroep”, sê Spence. “Ek dink ek is die beste weltergewig in die afdeling. Ek is 'Die waarheid’ en ek waarborg u dat ek as verenigde kampioen by die huis kom. Ek wil beslis die stryd teen Porter hê.”

 

 

 

Dit was 'n sterbelaaide aand in Barclays, aangesien huidige en voormalige wêreldkampioene die gevegte bygewoon het, insluitend Spence, Mikey Garcia, Jarrett Hurd, Gervonta Davis, Adrien Broner, Andre Berto, Claressa Shields, Keith Thurman en Jermell en Jermall Charlo.

 

 

 

In die saamgespeelde geleentheid van SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, konsensus top-10 weltergewig Yordenis Ugas (23-3, 11 Uitklophoue) uit geboks Argentinië s’n Cesar Miguel Barrionuevo (34-4-2, 24 Uitklophoue) op pad na 'n oorheersende eenparige beslissingsege (119-109, 120-108, 120-108). Met die oorwinning in die WBC-titel uitskakel, Ugas verdien die WBC se tweede verpligte posisie om Porter te beveg.

 

 

 

In 'n taktiese vertoning, Ugas het die tempo vanaf die openingsklok gedikteer en lyk gemaklik regdeur die 12 rondes. Hy was van meet af die meer effektiewe vegter, landing 55 persent van sy krag stoot en 35 persent van sy totale stoot. Barrionuevo, wat 'n groot toename in kompetisie in die gesig gestaar het, kon die voormalige Olimpiese bronsmedaljewenner uit Kuba nooit lastig val nie, ten spyte van die gooi van meer slae.

 

 

 

Barrionuevo net aangeskakel 26 persent van sy krag stoot en 19 persent van sy totale stoot. Ugas was die baie akkurater ponser wat verbind het 55 persent van sy krag stoot en 35 persent van sy totale stoot, including a wild multi-punch assault on Barrionuevo in the eighth round.

 

 

 

“We won today and I think I showed everybody my talent,” het Ugas gesê, who improves to 8-0 by 147 pond. “I’m happy with my performance. I showed enough, now I’m ready for a championship fight.

 

 

 

“I want the winner of Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter. I’m here to compete with the top-level guys in the sport.”

 

 

 

“I just didn’t have the right distance tonight,” said Barrionuevo, who was making his U.S. debuut. “It was hard to catch him and attack. He countered well and attacked the body. I showed my heart but he was the better fighter tonight.”

 

 

 

In die uitsending opener, heavyweight slugger Adam Kownacki (18-0, 14 Uitklophoue) remained undefeated by scoring a unanimous decision victory over former world champion Charles Martin (25-2-1, 23 Uitklophoue) in a sensational action-packed fight. Each of the judges scored the fight 96-94 in favor of the hometown favorite Kownacki, wat geveg het voor 'n lawaaierige kontingent Poolse aanhangers.

 

 

 

Albei vegters was ongelooflik aktief, met byna 1400 totale slae gegooi deur die hele 10 rondes. Kownacki en Martin, die voormalige IBF-swaargewigkampioen, elkeen gegooi 500 krag slae en beland 37 persent van hulle.

 

 

 

Kownacki, wat vir die sewende keer in sy pro-loopbaan in Barclays Centre geveg het, het die geveg op die voorvoet begin, 'n rugsteun van sy teenstander en die uitputting daarvan op pad na die vroeë rondes. Martin het begin om terug te keer in die stryd en behaal 'n tweede oorwinning in die sewende ronde, verskeie kragtige linkshandige houe op die kop van Kownacki geland.

 

 

 

In 'n mededinger vir die 2018 Ronde van die Jaar, die 10ste en laaste ronde het geweldige heen-en-weer-aksie gesien met albei vegters wat verwoestende ruilhandel verhandel het terwyl hulle hul bes gedoen het om op hul voete te bly. Die twee vegters het gekombineer om te land 62 slae in die rondte, 57 waarvan kragstampe was.

 

 

 

“Ek dink ek het vanaand bewys dat ek 'n top is 10 fighter,” Kownacki aan SHOWTIME Sports gesê® verslaggewer Jim Gray. “Ek dink ek het nog een of twee gevegte nodig voordat ek na 'n titelgeveg gaan. Ek het 'n groot span agter my. Wat hulle ook al besluit, dis die roete wat ons gaan neem.

 

 

 

“Ek het gedink ek het die besluit 'n bietjie wyer as die kaarte gewen, maar Charles het die hele nag kom veg. Hy was in vorm en het vorentoe gekom en ek moes diep delf.”

 

 

 

Martin, wat deur 'n stadige begin gestraf is, was genadiglik in die nederlaag en het krediet aan Kownacki gegee.

 

 

 

“Ek is 'n laat voorgereg, maar hy was vanaand die beter man,” het hy gesê. “Die voorkoms is baie bedrieglik, maar dit is boks. Ek het 'n helse geveg gevoer en die 10 rondes. Ek het net kort gekom.”

 

 

 

In streaming dekking van live onderkaartgevegte op SHOWTIME-KAMPIOENSKAP BOXING COUNTDOWN, Amanda Serrano (35-1-1, 26 Uitklophoue) die eerste ses-afdeling wêreldkampioen in die geskiedenis van vroueboks geword, by Manny Pacquiao en Oscar De La Hoya aangesluit as die enigste boksers, manlik of vroulik, om die punt te bereik. Die Brooklyn-boorling het 'n aggressiewe en vasberade verslaan Yamila Esther Reynoso (11-5-3, 8 Uitklophoue) om die vakante WBO Junior Weltergewig Wêreldkampioenskap per eenparige besluit te verdien (al drie beoordelaars het die stryd aangeteken 99-91).

 

 

 

“Dit beteken alles vir my,” Said Serrano. “Ek werk so hard en ek hoop dat hierdie geveg aan die ondersteuners wys dat meisies kan veg en dat ons alles kan gee net soos die mans. Ons verdien dit om hierdie platform te hê en ons verdien om vertoon te word.”

 

 

 

Ook op die live stream, Brooklyn-aanhanger-gunsteling Chris Colbert (9-0, 3 Uitklophoue) na 'n eenparige besluit gewen Fatiou Fassinou (28-11-3, 15 Uitklophoue) en Mayweather Promotions’ onoorwonne vooruitsig Richardson Hitchins (6-0, 3 Uitklophoue) Mexiko’s oorheers het Cesar Valenzuela (7-3, 2 Uitklophoue) op pad na 'n eenparige beslissende oorwinning.

 

 

 

Saterdag se SHOWTIME KAMPIOENSKAP BOXING tripleheader speel Maandag weer om 10 namiddag. ET / PT op SHOWTIME EXTREME.

FLASH KWOTASIES

 

Danny Garcia:

'Dit is 'n kwessie van tyd voordat ek met almal veg. Dit is hoe die sport is. Dit gaan alles oor tydsberekening en die tyd is nou. Ek is gereed om daar in te gaan en terug te eis wat myne is. Ek is opgewonde vir al my gevegte. Dit is nog 'n stryd vir my nalatenskap. Ek is van plan om daar in te gaan en te gee 150 persent en my alles gee, my bloed, sweat and my tears and make my family and my friends proud. Danny Garcia, baba. Win by under 9.”

 

Shawn Porter:

“It’s hard to put it into words how bad I want this. The best way I can describe it in words is that I’ve never wanted anything more in my life. To some, it’s just a belt, but for me it’s my world. Soos ek gesê het, I’m not leaving Brooklyn without this belt. Shawn Porter will be victorious tomorrow night.”

 

Yordenis Ugas:

“I’m a tough fighter and I like to fight the best. They say he’s a big puncher and that’s what I like. I like guys that can stand in there and fight. Hopefully it’s going to be a war and a great fight for the fans.”

 

Cesar Miguel Barrionuevo:

“Tomorrow for sure, everyone will know my name. Ek is gereed om 'n wonderlike show aan almal te gee. '

 

Adam Kownacki:

'Ek is van Brooklyn, een, so ek is niks bang nie. Hy het geen hart nie, so ek gaan vroeg daar inkom en hom seermaak. '

 

Charles Martin:

'Hy het dieselfde gesê [dinge], maar ons sien more. Dit is alles. Ek kom. Dit is al wat ek moet sê. '

 

Amanda Serrano:

"Ek voel goed. Ek hou van baklei by Barclays en weereens gaan ek geskiedenis maak. Ek het al my titels gewen deur uitklophou, so ek wil dit weer doen. Brooklyn is my tweede huis - my huis weg van die huis. Ek is opgewonde om dit in Brooklyn by Barclays Center te doen en hopelik is daar nog iets wat kom. ”
