BROOKLYN (August 21, 2016) – Undefeated tõusev täht Errol “Truth” Spence Jr. (21-0-, 18 Kos) liikus ühe sammu lähemale maailmameistrivõistlusele, kui ta esitas müriseva kuuenda vooru karmi Itaalia kandidaadi koputuse Leonard “Lõvi” Jope (33-2-2, 12 Kos) Pühapäeva pärastlõunal põhiturniiril Premier Boxing Champions (PBC)edasi NBC Fordi amfiteatrist Coney Islandi laudtee ääres Brooklynis.
Koputamisega, Spence Jr. saab võitmatu raskuse kohustuslikuks väljakutsujaks Kell Brook ja näitas oma valmisolekut Brookiga ringis astuda.
“Kindlasti tahan, et mu lask,” ütles Spence Jr. “Ma tahan teda järgmisena. Kui ta vabaneb või riisub, siis võitlen tema vaba tiitli eest. Ma olen oma tasud maksnud.”
Peamises kohas, mis järgnes kohe USA -le. Meeste korvpallimeeskond võitis Rio olümpiakulda, Dallase põlisrahvas alustas kannatlikult, mõõta oma vastast ühtlaste jabidega. Bundu tuli võitlema ja üritas seda Spence JR jaoks keeruliseks muuta. vahetades seisukohti ja rünnates ebamugavate nurkade alt.
“Olin esimeses ja teises voorus natuke raputatud,” ütles Spence Jr. “Ta on väga kohmetu ja ma üritasin teda tunda.”
Spence Jr. hakkas oma võimu torkamist korjama, kui voorud läksid edasi ja hakkasid vasakpoolsete ülaosade ja konksudega ühendust võtma. Pärast neljandat vooru, Bundu naasis oma nurka, kui paistetus hakkas parema silma kohal ilmuma.
“Kord suutsin ta rütmi kinni püüda ja ta välja mõelda, Ma teadsin, et mul on teda,” ütles Spence Jr. “Ma teadsin, et ta on väga karm, aga ta ei tee mulle kunagi haiget. Ta vahetas ja hüppas sisse ja välja ning selle kohanemine võttis mul natuke aega.”
Tema võimu löökidega domineerimine hakkas Bundu maha kandma, kui võitlus astus kuuendasse. Pärast näiliselt löömist, mille kohtunik Johnny Callas valitses libise, Spence Jr. koputas kiiresti Bundu ja lõksus ta nurka.
“Kindlasti elas ta hüpe,” ütles Bundu, kes viidi pärast võitlust haiglasse hindamiseks. “Errol oli täpsem kui Keith Thurman. Errol viskas rohkem lööke ja oli igas ringis värske.”
Spence Jr ei läinud kaua aega. ära kasutada, kui ta tabas Bundut kõva vasaku ülaosaga ja järgnes purustava parema konksuga, mis pani Bundu matile heaks ja sundis kohtunikku võitlust peatama 2:06 kuuenda vooru.
“Proovisin tõesti üles tõusta, kuid ei saanud seda teha,” ütles Bundu, Keda polnud kunagi varem peatatud. “Mul on siiski kõik korras. Tunnen end hästi.”
Spence Jr. võitis kõigil kolmel kohtunikul igal ringil’ kaardid ja maandus jahmatav 64 protsenti oma võimu löögid, KompuBoksi kohta.
“Arvan, et see etendus näitas veel kord, et olen 147-naelse parimate võitlejaid,” ütles Spence Jr.
Lindi hilinenud toimingul, mis eetris NBCSN -is 9 Pärastlõunal. JA/6 Pärastlõunal. PT, Põnev sulgede võistleja Claudio “Maatriks” Marrero (21-1, 15 Kos) viskas dominiiklaste vabariigi põliselanike domineeriva neljanda ringi tehnilise väljalülituse Luis Hinojosa (28-10, 17 Kos).
“Nii esinevad meistrid,” ütles Marrero. “Nad teevad seda nutikalt ja saavad oma vastased kiiresti välja. Sõltumata tema rekordist, Peate selle välja mõtlema ja siis minema viima.”
Marrero oli algusest peale kontrolli all, pannes Hinojosa matile parema käega varakult esimese stanza alguses. Hinojosa üritas end võitluses hoida, viskades peamiselt võimu lööke. Aga, just Marrero oli selles osakonnas palju teravam, maandumine 60 protsenti oma võimu löögid lihtsalt 24 Hinojosa protsent.
Neljanda ringis osutusid Marrero jõud ja stiil liiga palju, kuna ta peksis Hinojosa järjekindlalt Hinojosa kolme neljanda vooru löömist. Viimane pais ja löömine sundisid kohtunikku Danny Schiavone'i peatama 2:55 vooru.
“Mul on hea meel, et Hinojosa oli piisavalt julge, et kaklust võtta,” ütles Marrero. “Ma võidelda kellelegi. Mind ei huvita, kui lühike teade on.
“Olen kannatanud oma kaotust Jeesuse Cuellar'ile ja tunnen, et olen tagasi sulgede tipus sulgede raskuse divisjonis. Meistrid jooksevad minult edasi, nii et kavatsen töötada, kuni olen kohustuslik ja saan veel ühe tiitlivõistluse.”
Samal päeval kui Flint, Michigani oma Claressa Shields võitis oma teise järjestikuse olümpiakulla medali USA -le., Naiste poksile anti veel üks suurepärane platvorm kui Brooklyn’s Kanarbik “Heat” Hardy (18-0, 4 Kos) teenis enamuse otsuse varem võitmata Kooretaoline “Shelito Way” Vincent (18-1, 1 KO) nende 10-ringises löögis.
“See on kindlasti võit naiste poksi jaoks,” Said Hardy. “Pidasime kogu tempot kogu aeg ja fännid investeeriti kogu aeg.”
Tegevus oli algusest peale peatu, nagu Vincent laadis varakult ja otsis sageli tema ja kõrgema vastupidavuse vahelist kaugust. Hardy oli mobiilsem võitleja, kui ta ringile tiirutas, et leida Providence-i põliselanike ründamiseks õige vahemaa.
“Iga kord, kui ta mind rahvastas, Ta saaks rohkem lööke maha,” Said Hardy. “Tahtsin kaklust väljastpoolt hoida ja kui ma seda tegin, oli mul palju edu.”
Kauaaegsed konkurendid suutsid elada hüpet, mida nende paarismäng tõmbas. Tegevus oli vahetu ja ilmnes, et kumbki naine ei suuda tulemuskaartidele suurt edumaa ehitada.
Hardy liikumine võimaldas tal rünnaku jaoks rohkem nurki tekitada, kuna ta varieerus oma solvanguga ülekäeliste õigustega, jabid ja konksud. Vincent oli järjekindel vastu võitlemine, Eriti vasaku käega, mis andis palju edu.
Punchstatistika peegeldas võitluse põnevat olemust, kui Hardy viskas 752 löögid, kuni Shelly viskas 678 üle 10 kaheminutilised voorud. See oli Hardy, kellel oli löökides eelis, kui ta ühendas 251 löögid võrreldes 194 Vincenti jaoks.
“Arvasin, et võitsin võitluse üsna veenvalt,” Said Hardy. “Ta püüdis mind kogu võitluse paar korda ainult. Ma teadsin, et võitluse võitmiseks pean olema taktikaline. Otsustades vöö ääres oma vöökoha ümber, Ma hindaksin oma jõudlust 10.”
Võimsuse löögid olid võitluse võti, kahe võitluse ühendamisega 955 Viskatud võimsus löögid. Hardy suurim eelis tuli selles osakonnas üle, kui ta üle maandus 50 protsent tema võimu kaadritest 34 protsent Vincentist.
Lõpuks, Kohtunikud otsustasid Hardy enamuse otsuse tulemuste põhjal 99-91, 97-93 ja 95-95. Vincent uskus, et on võitluse võitmiseks piisavalt teinud, ja avaldas pärast seda kohtunike hindeid
“Ma kindlasti arvasin, et võitsin võitluse,” ütles Vincent. “Ma tulin edasi ja maandusin suuremaid kaadreid. Kõik nägid võitlust.
“Sain terve öö peaga kokku. Tulin siia ja kõik ütlesid mulle, et mind röövitakse. Ma võtan kordusmatši, kuid ma ei mängi neid reegleid. Ma tahan, et ta tuleks Providence'i.”

“See on tohutu samm, et olla televisioonis. See pole redeli ülaosa. Seal on veel ruumi minna, kuid ma olen väga põnevil, Õnnelik ja uhke olla sellel laval. See tõestab, et kõik, mida peate tegema, avage suu ja head asjad võivad juhtuda.
“Paljud inimesed on seda oodanud. Ta on teinud palju rääkimist ja ma olen tema juurde üsna vaikne. Mu fännid teavad, et kavatsen oma ringis rääkida, Nii et selleni on kindlasti palju põnevust.
“Ma kavatsen kodule lähemal kui kunagi varem. See on au, kui suuta esindada Brooklynit Coney Islandi amfiteatris esimesel näitusel.
“Kui ma SPAR, Ma ei taha oma vastasele liiga palju keskenduda. Ma tahan lihtsalt paremaks saada. Meil on olnud väga mitmekesine sparring. Kui ma parandan oma tehnikaid, Pole kedagi, kes mind pekstaks ja see on tõde.
“Saate valmistada nii palju kui soovite, Kuid mulle ei meeldi plaani ületada. Me läheme sinna sisse ja mõtleme ta esimesse ringi välja. Oleme teinud vajaliku töö.
“Paljud inimesed on kritiseerinud mõnda minu ja Shelly vastast, Kuid oleme ausalt öeldes alati silma peal hoidnud oma plaatide säilitamisel ja veendudes, et see võitlus toimub televisioonis. See võitlus ei puuduta minu võitu, Kuid see tähendab naistele poksijatele võimalust tutvustada. Võit, kaotada või joonistada, Oleme mõlemad avanud ukse teistele naistele ja see on kõige olulisem.
“See võitlus tähendab mulle kõik. See on kõige jaoks, mida ma kunagi seisnud olen. Ma tulin mitte millestki. Olen rääkinud oma minevikust nii, et sarnase teega kõndinud inimesed teaksid, mis on raske töö ja pühendumusega võimalik. Olen siin, sest tahtsin midagi nii halba ja ma ei lasknud kellelgi öelda, et mul seda ei saaks.
“Olen kõige eest nii kõvasti võidelnud ja see inspireerib mind edasi minema. See on ainult üks samm. Enne karjääri lõpetamist on veel nii palju uksi, mida tahan avada.
“Tahaksin ravida kõiki poksikliinikus sel pühapäeval. Shelly saab minult tasuta poksitunni sel pühapäeval. Mitte paljud inimesed ei saa öelda, et nad selle saavad.”
Shelly Vincent

“Olen kõvasti tööd teinud. Isegi tavalisest raskem. Olen jooksma, jalgratas, ujuda miili ja miili selleks ettevalmistusi. Me ei jätnud selle ettevalmistamiseks ühtegi kivi pööramata.
“Ma ei kavatse knockouti otsida. Kui see tuleb, see tuleb. Otsin võitu. Ma tahan rünnata tema keha. See on minu jaoks olemas.
“Tore on lõpuks peaaegu aeg võidelda. See võitlus ei oleks võinud paremal ajal tulla. See on suurepärane võimalus. Me mõlemad tegime selle nimel kõvasti tööd. Ma ei võta ära seda, mida Heather spordi heaks teeb, Kuid mul on hea meel võidu saada.
“Ma armastan New Yorki. Siin on alati tore olla ja ma loodan, et suudan siin pärast võitu rohkem võidelda.
“Proovisin leida viisi oma viha suunamiseks, kui olin noorem, ja see sai minu jaoks väljaande. Lõpuks pööras see sport kogu mu elu ümber, et saaksin aidata teisi, kes olid nagu mina.
“See sobib suurepäraselt meie spordi jaoks ja ma tahan, et see annaks lootust väikestele tüdrukutele, kes spordis tulevad. Ma võitsin, Kuid meie sport saab tõeliseks võitjaks. On au võidelda kõigi minu ees tulnud tüdrukute eest ja ei saanud seda võimalust.
Joseph Williams

“Ma tahan jätkata tiitli nimel tööd. Ma tahan oma tee super -keskkaalu alla saada ja kavatsen iga päev tööd teha, et saada maailma tiitlipilt.
“Mina ja Errol Spence Jr. on ajalugu. Ma olin 2012 Olümpiameeskond vaheldub, Nii et olen jälginud tema karjääri ja juurdlen tema pärast. See on hea öö poksimiseks, sest ma kindlasti loodan, et ta show paneb.
“Mu treenerid on jälginud mu vastast. Olen valmis millegagi kohanema. Ma usaldan oma meeskonda ja nad ütlevad mulle, kuidas rünnata. Olen tugev ja valmis võitlema.”
Julian Sosa
“Olen väga alandlik, et jälle suurel kaardil olla, võimalusega näidata oma oskusi. Pean näitama, kui tänulik ma olen sel õhtul kõvasti tööd teinud ja väga hea välja nägema.
“Olles selles kohas esimene poksinäitus, tähendab see, et olen osa ajaloost. Pean veenduma, et minu esinemine on meeldejääv.
“See oli parim treeninglaager, mis mul kunagi olnud on, ja ma ei jõua ära oodata, millal ma jõusaalis oleksin pannud.
“Fännide tugi, mis mul on palju, tähendab palju. On väga tore, kui kõik mu sõbrad ja pereliikmed on koos, ning nägin, kuidas mind teevad seda, mida ma armastan teha. Pole paremat tunnet kui see.
“Minu vastane on väga agressiivne võitleja. Esimesed paar vooru proovime keha töötada. Kui läheme hilisematele voorudele, Ma võtan välja koputuse, kui see ennast esitleb. Kuid mul on hea meel panna ilus poksikliinikusse.”
Chordale Booker
“Sparring on olnud selle võitluse jaoks tõesti hea. Mul on kõvasti käinud. Ma ei võta sparringu ajal seda kergelt, sest ma pean olema võitluseks valmis.
“See on tõesti suur osa sellisest võitlusest. Eriti olla kergekaaluline ja põhiturniiril on tiitli elimineerija. Olen mõnda aega Erroli poole otsin. Ta on tüüp, keda olen proovinud Errolilt erinevaid asju korjata, kuna oleme mõlemad SouthPaws.
“Ma tahan, et kõik jõuaksid sinna varakult. Mul on võim ja otsin koputust.
“See tähendab kõike, et Brooklynis fännide ees võidelda. Olen lihtsalt väga põnevil. Minu pere ja sõbrad on pärit Brooklynist, Spetsiaalselt Flatbush ja ma ootan palju tuge.
“Mul on hea meel olla poksina esimest korda oma kodulinnas. Veel parem on see, et see on uues saalis. See saab olema minu jaoks suur ja midagi sellist, mida ma igavesti mäletan.”

Marrero enters this bout the winner of six-straight fights, including a sensational knockout of former world champion Rico Ramos last July. Nüüd, the self-described “boxer-puncher with exceptional defense” is looking to get himself a world title opportunity and show off his skills against the unbeaten Murray pühapäeval.
Here is what Marrero had to say about his start in the Dominican Republic, his opponent, the featherweight division and more:
What was it like growing up in the Dominican Republic?

Claudio Marrero: It was really tough…my dad was a jack of all trades and I was the oldest of three boys. My dad was my biggest influence on keeping me out of trouble. He trained me early on as an amateur and that’s where I developed my fundamentals. Because of him I’m here today and I’m very grateful.
How did you first get introduced to boxing? What boxers did you look up to growing up?

CM: As a child, my dad and I would watch fights. He thought boxing would keep me off the streets, kus 9 otsas 10 kids in my country end up dead, or in jail. Around 8-years old I started boxing. Favorite fighter is Pernell “Sweet Pee” Whitaker.
When did you come to America? What led you to making that decision?

CM: The journey to come to America started in January of 2010, when my manager/trainer now, Herman Caicedo, came to the D.R. to scout Juan Carlos Payano and myself. We met and he promised to work hard on our behalf and look out for us. Unlike many others who had said similar things, Herman was a man of his word. I was able to solidify myself with hard work, so here we are.

Q. Talk about your team and how they’ve helped you transition to life in America and progress your boxing career:

CM: There has been one man who has helped with everything I know in Boxing as a pro, and life here in the states, and that’s Herman Caicedo, our manager/trainer. He took us on as his kids and treated us like his own children, not just fighters. All of us who train with him owe our progression and discipline to him. Veel, Henry Rivalta and Gary Jonas, our other managers, have been very instrumental in the progress as well. We are a strong team with goals of becoming world champions together.

Q. What do you know about your opponent? What kind of problems does he pose?
CM: I know he’s undefeated. I know he’s coming to win and that he’s from St. Louis. There isn’t anything I see in him that has me concerned except the fact that he’s unbeaten. Anyone who is unbeaten is going to go that extra mile to come out victorious. But that really is not a problem in my eyes. I’m a hungry fighter as well. The problem for him is that he stands in my way of getting back in the ring with all the top guys.

Q. How important is a win on August 21 to your career? Which fighters would you like to face next and how do you think you matchup with the top featherweights?

CM: I want everyone all at 126 naela. These guys have been evading, ducking and dodging me. None of these guys want to face me. I want them all. I’ll fight them all on the same night if I have to. I’m tired of them hiding. It’s very frustrating when my managers tell me they don’t want to fight me. So I must make a statement each time I step in the ring and it starts with Derrick Murray.

Q. What is your prediction for your fight on August 21?

CM: My opponent will feel pain!

Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk in Brooklyn

PBC NBCSN -i katvuse kohta algab aadressil 9 Pärastlõunal. JA/6 Pärastlõunal. PT and features exciting contender Claudio “Maatriks” Marrero taking on unbeaten Derrick Murray. PBC on NBC is headlined by undefeated rising star Errol “Truth” Spence Jr. facing once-beaten contender Leonard “Lõvi” Jope in a welterweight world title eliminator that begins at 5 Pärastlõunal. JA/2 Pärastlõunal. PT.
Always in entertaining battles, Hardy’s punches per round stats far exceed the average for her weight class and prove why everyone believes her matchup with Vincent will be all-action. In six CompuBox-tracked fights, Hardy has averaged 83.4 punches per two-minute round, which projects to a staggering 111.2 if fought over three minutes. This number would far exceed the two men’s leaders Roman Gonzalez ja Leo Santa Cruz. Her two-minute output of 83.4 punches per round would rank her fourth among the men over three minutes, ahead of hard-hitters Gennadi Golovkin (68.6), Andrzej Fonfara (75.1), Orlando Salido (71) ja Abner Mares (69.4) amongst others in the top ten.
“I think that if there is a female boxer out there that should and deserves to be seen, it’s Heather Hardy,” said former world champion Shawn Porter. “She has put tons of work in. I have seen her fight and train and she is a top competitor and a true athlete in this sport. Some people think it’s taking a chance to put women’s boxing on television, but I think Heather Hardy is the best person to take that chance on. I don’t know anyone that is more worthy of this shot.”
“Heather Hardy is always in fan friendly and entertaining fights,” said former world champion Paulie Malignaggi. “Off the top of my head, I cannot think of a dull Heather Hardy fight. Rohkem, she brings a big following and that always makes for a fun, noisy crowd and atmosphere.”
A fan-favorite in Brooklyn, Hardy has been helping to fill local venues for years including Barclays Center, where she has fought seven times as a pro. Nüüd, her long awaited matchup with the unbeaten New Englander Vincent has given her the opportunity to show her talents on a bigger stage.

Hardy and Vincent will meet in a 10-round featherweight showdown years in the making. Vincent began calling Hardy out at her second professional fight, looking to get in the ring with the popular Brooklyn ticket seller. Despite the rival, both have campaigned for a women’s match on this platform for years and will look to make their mark on August 21.
Siin on, mida võitlejad öelda oli neljapäev:
HEATHER HARDY
“I wouldn’t be here without all the help of my team and fans. I don’t stand here alone. I stand here with all of the women who have fought before me that no one knows about.
“This is the kind of platform that this fight deserves. I’ve always imagined this fight being on television and I’m thankful that this fight has come together on NBCSN. It’s important to have a stage like this and I hope it’s the first of more fights like this on television.
“I really can’t wait to punch Shelly right in the face. I like that everybody is sleeping on ‘The Heat’. Don’t sleep on me.
“Shelly started her career a little bit before me. She started showing up at my fights with all these antics from almost my pro debut and talking about wanting to fight me. It was inappropriate at the time, but then she signed with Lou and we’ve both developed in our careers. Hats off to her, it worked. I’m ready to brawl.
“I’ve seen her fight before. I went to one of her fights to talk to press and build up this matchup. I don’t get too hung up on what I’ve seen. I go into the ring ready to make adjustments based off what I see. I’m not treating this fight any differently than other fights.
“Every fight I’m back in the gym working on getting better. I don’t work hard, I don’t work on getting in better shape, I work to improve at my craft. You’re going to see a new and better Heather than ever before.”
Shelly Vincent
“I’m thankful for this opportunity for women as a whole. This is a fight we’ve been waiting for, for a while. I can’t wait to get in there and hit Heather. She thinks there’s no pop in my punches but she’ll be surprised on fight night.
“Heather and I really just don’t like each other. I’ve tried to make this fight for years and she wouldn’t take the fight. I’ve seen her lose some of these fights. I don’t believe she’s undefeated. I feel like she’s avoiding me.
“I’ve been trying to make this fight happen but I’m glad it didn’t happen back then; this is the perfect time for it. We both deserve this opportunity. Heather and I work hard, taking nothing from her, but I can’t wait to get my hands on her.
“I know Heather is going to use her legs. She doesn’t seem strong so I think she’s going to try to get away from me. I just have to cut the ring off.
“I always knew I’d have to come to her home territory. I’m going to stick to what I have to do. I know she’s not better than me. It’s going to be me coming forward with constant pressure. I hope she comes at me because that would make it an even more exciting fight.”
LOU DIBELLA, President DiBella Meelelahutus
“We’re making a lot of history on August 21. This will be the first women’s bout broadcast from Coney Island. I want to thank PBC and NBC for giving these women this much deserved platform to showcase their talents.
“The co-featured bout on NBCSN will be this long awaited contest between these two women. It’s been talked about for years. They’ve been talking to each other for years and it’s finally happening.
“This is history and I think it’s going ot be a good night for boxing, and especially for women’s boxing. This is a great opportunity for these two contenders and two women who have earned the right to be on television. They both have crowd pleasing styles. This is going to be a Gatti-Ward fight. These two want to beat each other up.
“Heather and Shelly are two of the most popular female fighters in the country. They like to rumble. They make every fight a war. They’re willing to be hit and that’s what makes their fight so much fun.”

Anaheim, Californias. (Veebruar. 27, 2016) – Lõvi “Maavärin” Santa Cruz defended his WBA Featherweight World Championship in convincing fashion laupäeval öö, knocking down Kiko “Sensación” Martinez twice in the first round, then ending it on a barrage of punches as the fight was called at 2:09 in the fifth round in the main event of a Showtime MEISTRIVÕISTLUSED BOXING doubleheader at Honda keskus Anaheimis, Californias.
In co-funktsioon Showtime, 29--aastane Hugo Ruiz (36-3, 31 Kos), Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mehhiko, regained his WBC Super Bantamweight World Title with a devastating early knockdown with just 51 seconds into the 12-round fight against 23-year-old Juuli Ceja (30-2, 27 Kos) of Atizapan De Zaragoza, Mehhiko, in a highly anticipated rematch of their August fight won by Ceja.
Fighting just 10 miles west of his hometown of La Habra and before 7,780 enthusiastic fans, the 27-year-old Santa Cruz (32-0-1, 18 Kos) continued to establish himself as the King of Southern California as he punished the game 29-year-old Martinez (35-7, 26 Kos) of Alicante, Valencia, Hispaania, koos 570 total punches in just five rounds. Seal olid 1,038 total punches thrown during the fight.
“The fans love it when two fighters go toe-to-toe,” Santa Cruz told SHOWTIME’s Jim Hall after the fight. “I wanted to give the fans a great fight. I knew I could hurt him with a right hand. He’s a fighter and when he’s knocked down, he’s going to come back. In the fifth round I knew I had to finish him off and I did.”
Santa Cruz continued, “We were going toe-to-toe from the beginning. He’s was throwing good punches I was throwing out good punches and the crowd was loving it. Then my dad told me to slow down and be smarter so we started boxing.”
Santa Cruz wasted no time getting the upper hand as the opening bell rung. He knocked Martinez out twice in the first round; the first just 23 seconds into the fight and the second on a devastating right hand at two minutes into the round prompting SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING play-by-play announcer Mauro Ranallo to tell expert analyst Al Bernstein: “We may be able to get to Disneyland before the end of the night.”
Martinez fell into a groove in the third and fourth rounds, but got into trouble two minutes into the fifth round as Santa Cruz had him up against the ropes connecting on numerous body shots, uppercuts and combinations before referee Raul Caiz Sr. signaled the end of the fight for Santa Cruz’s second straight world title defense in Southern California.
Martinez said that Santa Cruz, “started to move a lot and he broke my strategy and he fought a great fight. The second round I was getting looser and I was starting to feel much better.
“He was like a bull coming forward really strong,” Santa Cruz added. “He has definitely been one of the strongest fighters I’ve been in the ring with yet.
“Towards the end I said, ‘this is it, this is my opportunity to take him down. If I don’t finish him right here, it’s going to make it a really tough fight.’ So I said I was going at it with my all and thankfully it turned out the way that it did.”
Santa Cruz, making his second defense after capturing the world title from Abner Mares back in August, said someday he wants to break the records for most punches thrown in a fight. “I wanted to throw as many punches as I can so the fans could get a good show.”
Santa Cruz is now eyeing a future potential matchup with IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton juures 126 pounds or Gary Russell. “I’m up for anyone,” ütles ta. “I want the rematch with (Abner) Emad. Since Frampton won, if he’s ready to go up in weight, I’m ready for him. I challenge him to a fight whenever he’s ready.”
In a rematch of the WBC Super Bantamweight World Title he lost last August, the new 122-pound champion Ruiz improved his record to 5-0 in rematches (viie knockouts) as he delivered a stunning first-round knockout against Ceja, who injured his right ankle on a powerful clean right just seconds into the fight sending him to the canvas.
Ceja got up slowly but was battered with a fury of punches and knocked out again with just 51 seconds into the fight ending the affair.
“I was very prepared to knock him out, but I was prepared to go 12 vooru täna õhtul also if I had to,” said Ruiz, who was teary and emotional following the victory. “I was happy to knock him out in the first round. I’m looking for the best fighters and the best money out there.”
Said SHOWTIME analyst Paulie Malignaggi: “I’ve never seen a first-round KO that soon in a fight of this much importance.” Added SHOWTIME’s Bernstein: “The right hand was the weapon of choice for Ruiz, and he got the job done. What a moment of redemption for Ruiz!”
Kulm, who beat Ruiz on a fifth-round knockout last August to win the world title, was hurt from the first series of Ruiz punches and never recovered in the intense first round.
Ceja was taken to nearby UC Irvine Hospital and diagnosed with a fractured right ankle.
“I saw that he got hurt with the first punch and I saw his leg wobbling and so I said, ‘Let’s finish’,” Ruiz ütles. “And I did in that round.”
Ajalugu Laupäev Manchester, Inglismaa, edasi Showtime BOXING INTERNATIONAL, IBF 122-pound world champion Carl Frampton unified the super bantamweight division with a split decision victory over WBA titlist Scott QUIGG.
The long-awaited matchup of unbeaten champions got off to a slow and tactical start, but Belfast native Frampton (22-0, 14 Kos) established himself as the aggressor and worked his jab to pocket the early rounds. Quigg didn’t come alive until after the seventh, when trainer Joe Gallagher warned his charge that he was likely down big on the judges’ tulemuskaardi.
QUIGG (31-1-2) pounded the body and was the aggressor in rounds eight through 11, but it was too little, too late for the Lancashire, England native. Frampton won the 12th and walked away the unified champion by scores of 115-113 for Quigg, kuid 116-112 twice for Frampton.

Siin on, mida võitlejad oli öelda Neljapäev:

 

LEO SANTA CRUZ

 

“Headlining a televised card has been my childhood dream. I could have never imagined I was going to get this far. And Here I am, on my second main event, defending my title on a premium network. I’m so psyched. I cannot believe it.

 

“The first time I put the gloves on, I knew that I had found my craft, and I also knew that it was not going to be an easy road. I knew that I had to work hard to become a champion. Nii, I trained the hardest and I fought the hardest, and with my father by my side I got here, where I’m at today. I owe him everything.

 

“I remember watching all the great Mexican Champions and day dreaming about being like them one day. It felt unreachable. I thought it was impossible to get where they were. But I worked hard, really hard from the beginning.

 

“The most important thing is that the fans leave happy and get their money’s worth. I’m glad that Kiko has come prepared because we’re ready for a great fight.

 

“People are saying that I should walk through Kiko Martinez, but I don’t listen to that. I look at Kiko the same way I look at any other opponent. When we step inside the ring, we are equals.

 

“At the end of the day, the winner will be the fighter who has prepared more and who has imposed his will on the other man.

 

 

KIKO MARTINEZ

 

“I have faced much stronger boxers than Leo and come Laupäev, all of those who did bet on me for this fight, I am going to make you a lot of money.

 

“I am excited and proud to know that Sergio Martinez will be present laupäeval supporting me. His guidance and presence

 

“My trainer could not be here, but we have not taken one day off in training camp and I have been pushed to my limit to prepare me for this fight. I’m thankful to Robert Garcia for being in my corner laupäeval.

 

“I know this is a great opportunity to fight Leo Santa Cruz and I will make the most of it. I’m going to leave everything inside the ring so that the fight fans enjoy a great championship matchup.

 

“I feel that Leo Santa Cruz is a great fighter, he has beat some incredible fighters. He’s a great athlete and boxer. Sometimes people will try to make him out to be more than he actually is but they are mistaken with what they see in me. I am not to be mistaken as the underdog here.

 

 

JULIO CEJA

 

“As Hugo mentioned, we have both trained even harder than last time and we’re more prepared physically and mentally.

 

“I’m going to give everybody a great fight just like last time. I’m walking into the ring knowing my opponent very well. We’ve been to war. I know what to expect from him. I know about his punch and I know how to counter it.

 

“I’m going to be alert and ready. I’ll be a little more intelligent, because I know that he’s coming well prepared and he’s coming for the world title, but he’s not going to get it.

“There are going to be no surprises in this fight. Hugo Ruiz said that he was training harder this time. But I am too. I’ve trained very hard.

 

“The key for me to win this fight is to keep my hands up and to not give him one inch. I cannot be careless. I’ll be strategic and use my wisdom. I cannot come in with my hands down because I know I’ll pay for it. But nothing to worry about, we have rectified those issues in training camp. Ma olen valmis. He’s not taking my belt away from me.

 

“I’m glad that he says he is better prepared this time because I am better than ever. My team has been instrumental in preparing me for this matchup.

 

“The winner will be the man who is more prepared physically and mentally. But the real winner will be the fans at Honda Center because this is an amazing card and we’re going to put on an amazing fight.”

 

 

HUGO RUIZ

 

“If you liked the first fight between us, then you are going to love this one.

 

“I’m excited to be fighting once again in Southern California. I’ve trained very hard and I have prepared myself for this world title opportunity.

 

“I’m looking forward to putting on a grand show for all my fans laupäeval öösel. "

 

 

JOSE SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz’ Father & Treener

 

“I hear Kiko has a great trainer on his corner. Robert Garcia is really good, but I have news for Kiko, his trainer is not going to fight for him.

“Once a fighter steps into the ring, he’s alone in there. There are no trainers and no great promoters that can fight for him.”

 

“Kiko speaks about this prestigious trainer and thinks that by mentioning him, he is going to intimidate us. He has something else coming. The trainer won’t fight for Kiko. Roberto Garcia has trained my son and knows Leo very well but that does not give Kiko the upper hand.”

 

TOM BROWN, Head of TGB Promotions

 

“Southern California favorite Leo Santa Cruz returns to bring his action style to the ring. He will be opposed by a tough former world champion in Kiko Martinez who is sure to make this a tremendous fight.

 

“The first fight between Ceja and Ruiz was a true back and forth war. Should this pick up right where it left off, we will have a great fight to start the telecast.

 

“I’m looking forward to a great night laupäeval night in front of the fantastic Southern California boxing fans.”

 

 

TIM RYAN, tegevdirektor & President of Honda Center

 

“I’m so thankful to everyone for helping to bring boxing back to Orange County. It’s hard to believe that Julio Cesar Chavez fought here in 1996, because it seems like yesterday.

 

“We have a great arena and a great fan base that loves boxing here in Orange County. kaart laupäeval is wonderful. I know these guys will be ready and I’m looking forward to an action-packed night on the 27th.

 

CHRIS DEBLASIO, Asepresident, Sports Communication Showtime Networks

 

“This is a fight fan’s fight card and we are looking forward to some explosive action. I think everyone knows that the lighter weight classes, especially at the championship level, produce exciting fights. My favorite examples include the epic series between Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez, which are available on SHOWTIME platforms and should wet your appetite for what we will see laupäeval öösel.

GERALD WASHINGTON
“I grew up boxing and boxing was always my passion as a kid. I used to go to the local Boys & Girls Club as a kid and I’ve been in love with it since. It’s always been a part of me and I’m glad I can do it again and take over this division.
“There are lot’s similarities in football and boxing. You watch film, break your opponent down. We take everything from sparring and practice and take them out to the game.
“See saab olema suur võitlus. It’s always a good battle when you have two undefeated fighters. It’s going to be a night full of action. I look forward to the action. I love stepping up and facing top-flight competition.
“Rivas has an extensive amateur background. Ta on suur, strong guy who likes the knockout. He’s going to go for it. I’m prepared for a fight like that. I know the pressure is coming. We’ve worked hard since my last fight.
“The jab is the key for everything. It opens up all the other shots and keeps the opponent off balance. I’m going to hammer him with it. It’s a major tool.
“It’s a great honor to be fighting here in Los Angeles. My whole life has taken place in this state and everyone who has supported me is coming together laupäeval to see it all in action.
“Heavyweight boxing is always exciting. We’re the hardest hitters in the game. I can’t wait to show everyone the hard work I’ve put in and give a great performance.
“I’m going to be smart and disciplined in the ring. But you also have to have a strong will and have the determination to keep moving forward. You have to step to the guy and apply the pressure.
“My height and reach is always to my advantage but it’s not that. It’s the legs, the mind, the combinations. It’s everything.
“You will see a smart and aggressive style from me laupäeval and I’m going to take that into the next level of my career.”
