布魯克林 (三月 3, 2019) – Former 154-pound world champion Erislandy拉拉 and WBA Super Welterweight Champion 布萊恩·卡斯塔諾 fought to a highly competitive split-draw Saturday at Barclays Center, 布魯克林拳擊™的家, 由總理拳擊冠軍呈現事件. With the draw, Castaño retains the WBA belt in what was the toughest test of his career against the longtime top 154-pounder in Lara. 法官的鬥爭取得了 115-113 (Castaño), 115-113 (拉拉) 和 114-114.
Castaño (15-0-1, 11 科斯), who was fighting in his first U.S. 主要事件, held a large advantage in power connects (181-103) while Lara (25-3-3, 14 科斯) found success landing his left hand down the middle on his way to a 34 ％至 27 percent advantage in power accuracy.
In the close, difficult-to-score fight, five of the rounds were separated by three or fewer connects and three of those rounds favored Lara. In the final two rounds, Castaño ramped up the pressure and connected on 44 拳, while Lara landed only 24 punches across the championship rounds. Castaño won the final three rounds on all three judges’ scorecards. 如果不這樣做, the Argentine would have lost his belt.
After the hotly contested fight, both fighters have options, including a rematch, in the talent-rich super welterweight division.
“I know I won the fight. I feel I was robbed,” a disappointed Castaño told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray. “If he wants the rematch, I’ll give him the rematch. I waited for him this time so I can wait for him again if he wants the rematch. I would give him the rematch if he wants. I can also go ahead and fight any other champion that wants to fight me. I’m ready for whoever they put in front of me. Hurd or anyone else.”
拉拉, 另一方面, felt he did enough to claim the belt: “I thought I won the fight by landing the more accurate and effective punches. Castaño came to fight but he never hurt me and I hurt him. All I can do is give the fans great fights and that’s what I’ll continue to do. I have a lot of fight left in me and I’m not going anywhere.
“If we have to fight him again, I’ll fight him. Hurd or Castaño. Anybody, I’ll have the rematch with both.”
在共同特徵, Cuban heavyweight slugger 路易斯·奧爾蒂斯 (31-1, 26 科斯) earned a unanimous decision victory over a game 基督教錘 (24-6, 14 科斯). Although the judges scored the fight 100-90 和 99-91 兩次, both men fought through bloody noses at different points in the fight and both were stunned in a back-and-forth second round.
奧爾蒂斯, who earned his third consecutive victory since dropping a thrilling slugfest with WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder one year ago, is now looking for another world title shot.
“The fight wasn’t what I was expecting,」奧爾蒂斯說. “It was a hard fight and my corner really had to work with me. After I got the rhythm, I heated up a little bit. Every heavyweight out there should know that I still have it at 40-years-old. Anthony Joshua, Deontay懷爾德, 我準備好了。“
Although Hammer fought with more energy and with more resolve than in previous fights with other top-tier heavyweights Tyson Fury and Alexander Povetkin, Ortiz used his superior technique and skills to eventually cruise to the lopsided decision. Ortiz averaged 45 jabs thrown per round and landed 61 jabs to just 20 對於錘, while also connecting on 49 他的權力拳％的. Ortiz made a conscious effort to attack Hammer’s body with 33.6% of his total connects (45 的 140) coming via body shots.
“I fought a fight that I hadn’t for years, which is box and work,」奧爾蒂斯說. “So I’m not disappointed I didn’t knock him out because I showed some of my boxing skills tonight.”
“Ortiz is a very good and experienced fighter,” said the 31-year-old Hammer, who was making his American debut. “He’s technical and smart but he’s not as intimidating as people say he is. I respect Ortiz but I don’t think he’s the best fighter I’ve ever faced.
“I’m very confident going forward. I know that I can go the distance with anyone and I’m willing to fight anyone. People thought I’d get knocked out but I proved them wrong.”
在轉播揭幕戰, 愛德華多·拉米雷斯 (22-1-3, 9 科斯) 捕捉 Bryan De Gracia (24-2-1, 20 科斯) with a vicious right uppercut in the ninth, stunning his opponent and suddenly breaking open a close fight. Ramirez pounced on the dazed De Gracia and unleashed a wave of punches which forced referee Benjy Esteves to call the fight at 2:10 of round nine.
The southpaw Ramirez, 洛斯莫奇斯的, 錫那羅亞, 墨西哥, was trailing on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage according to two out of three judges (the third had it even). 拉米雷斯, known to grow stronger in the later rounds, connected on 36 punches in round number nine, by far his highest connect total on the night. Although De Gracia was the more aggressive fighter, the Panamanian failed to consistently land punches. De Gracia was accurate on just 27 他的權力拳％的, while Ramirez landed 38 百分比他.
“I definitely knew it was close but my corner kept telling me to keep going and going, and that’s when I caught him,” said Ramirez, who was fighting with a heavy heart following the passing of his grandfather. “I didn’t just come here to fight. I came here to do something and I did it.”
同贏, Ramirez is now in line to face WBA (定期) Featherweight World Champion Can Xu and will be looking to challenge for a world title fight in the deep featherweight division.
