NOVA YORK (Febrer. 15, 2017) - Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Tommy Hearns. Felix Trinidad vs. Oscar De La Hoya. Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao.
Es tracta dels campions d'elit de pes welter de l'empresa Danny Garcia i Keith Thurman que s'uniran quan es trobin just a la 10ºla unificació en la història de la divisió Dissabte, Març 4 a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING a CBS, Presentat per Premier Boxing Champions, del Barclays Center, la casa de BROOKLYN BOXA ™, en directe a CBS de 9-11 p.m. I/6-8 p.m. PT.
García, el titular del WBC, i Thurman, el campió de l'AMB, unificarà exactament els mateixos títols que Leonard (CMB) i Hearns (AMB) unificats en els seus 1981 Baralla de l'Any.
I mentre que Hearns estava invicte i Leonard va entrar amb una derrota, García (33-0, 19 KOs) i Thurman (27-0, 22 KOs) es reunirà només en la tercera unificació entre invicte pes welter a la història de la boxa, la primer des de Trinitat vs. De La Hoya in 1999, un combat anunciat com "La lluita del mil·lenni".
García vs. Thurman s'emetrà a Primetime a CBS, la primera unificació a la televisió en xarxa en qualsevol divisió en més de dues dècades (Nota: Terry Norris vs. Paul Vaden amb 154 lliures el desembre. 16, 1995 en FOX). També és només la segona presentació de boxa en hora de màxima audiència a la cadena de televisió CBS gairebé 40 any.
Mentre Danny Garcia i Keith Thurman s'uneixen a un qui és qui dels llegendaris 147 lliures, el seu enfrontament també presenta implicacions actuals en la divisió de glamour de la boxa. Amb la jubilació del rei lliure per lliura Floyd Mayweather, Garcia i Thurman, tots dos justos 28 anys, trobar-se amb l'oportunitat de convertir-se en la nova cara de la divisió apilada de 147 lliures, i potser guanyar un lloc a la mítica llista de lliura per lliura.
Més que 80 per cent del total de cops de puny aterrats per Garcia són tirs de força, posant la seva sortida de cop de potència d'alt octanatge gairebé 10 per cent superior a la mitjana del pes welter.
Keith Thurman ocupa el lloc número 1. 4 entre tots els boxejadors actuals en percentatge de cops de potència aterrats, connectant a 48.2 per cent segons Compubox. Això és més que 10 per cent millor que la mitjana del pes welter.
Tots dos lluitadors són joves, famolenc i invicte. El seu combat en marxa Març 4 és la lluita per excel·lència que defineix la carrera. És una oportunitat per a tots dos d'afegir al seu llegat creixent i potencial, en definitiva, estar vinculat per sempre amb tots els grans de la boxa del cobejat Saló de la Fama de la Boxa Internacional.

LOS ANGELES (Desembre. 10, 2016) - Abner Mars (30-2-1, 15 KOs) scored an impressive, upset 12-round split decision over defending champion Jesús Cuellar (28-2, 21 KOs) to capture the WBA Featherweight World Championship and become a four-time boxing titlist Dissabte in the main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader.
In the co-feature from Galen Center on the campus of USC in Los Angeles, Jermall Charlo (25-0, 19 KOs) retained his IBF Junior Middleweight World title with an emphatic fifth-round knockout over previously unbeaten, top-ranked Julian "J-Rock" Williams (22-1-1, 14 KOs).

Mares, de Huntington Beach, Qualif., by way of Guadalajara, Mèxic, va ser victoriós pels resultats de 117-110, 116-111 i 112-115. Judge Kermit Bayless was the lone descender to score the hard-fought match for the Argentine. Mares scored the bout’s lone knockdown in the 11th round. Cuellar, of Buenos Aires, had an 11-fight winning streak end. (Vídeo: http://s.sho.com/2hbJayp)
Mares, making his first start a 16 mesos and first with renowned trainer Robert García, executed a technically sound game plan and was the more accurate puncher than Cuellar, who was under the tutelage of Hall of Famer Freddie Roach for the first time in his career.
“I feel so good, it’s been a long time. I’m champion, nadó,’’ said Mares, 31, a former WBC featherweight and super bantamweight world champion and IBF bantamweight world champion, who became Garcia’s 10º campió del món. “We had the perfect game plan.
“I never doubted myself. I felt it in my heart. When I fought Lleó (Santa Creu) I beat myself because I fought the wrong fight. I fought smart aquesta nit. I thought it would be a unanimous decision, but at the end of the day I’m champion.’’
Cuellar is known as a devastating puncher, but he was unable to land his power shots or cut off the ring against Mares, who seemingly pocketed rounds with accuracy and a solid left hook. Mares floored Cuellar with a straight right in the opening minute of the 11th, sending Cuellar to the canvas for the third time of his career. The onslaught continued, with a resurgent Mares teeing off on Cuellar until he raised his hands following the final bell.
“They said he was a power puncher, they said he was going to knock me out, but I proved that I have some power, massa,’’ said Mares, who dropped a majority 12-round decision to Santa Cruz in his last fight on Aug. 29, 2015. “I want Leo, Vull (Carl) Frampton, I want anyone. Sóc un campió. I’m not afraid of anyone.”
Cuellar stated his case for a rematch afterward.
“I thought the fight was pretty even until he threw me down, and that’s when he took control,", Va dir Cuellar, who was making his third title defense. “He definitely had the boxing skills going today. I would have preferred a rough fight, but Mares had his skills today. Vull una revenja. I gave him the opportunity and now I think it’s fair that he gives it to me.”
En l'esdeveniment co-principal, Charlo dropped Williams three times, once in the second and twice in the fifth. Williams, who had not lost a round in 10 consecutive fights, went down for the first time in his career from a strong counter left-hand midway through the second round.
Williams, who established his counter right early, performed well for the next two rounds in the first title fight between undefeated 154-pound champions since Floyd Mayweather dismantled Canelo Alvarez a 2013.
But Charlo decked him again with a brutal right uppercut midway through the fifth round that sent Williams collapsing face-forward onto the canvas. Williams got up, but he was clearly in trouble. Charlo floored him seconds layer with a left hook, forcing referee Wayne Hedgepath to instantly halt the contest at 2:06.
Charlo was ahead with scores of 38-37 on the three scorecards entering the fifth round in a highly skilled matchup between two fighters in their prime.
Afterward a fracas broke out in the ring between the fighters and their cornermen after Charlo wouldn’t acknowledge Williams’ congratulatory hand shake. Williams immediately stormed from the ring. The fans booed Charlo loudly throughout his post-fight interview with SHOWTIME reporter Jim Gray.
“I did what I was supposed to do, Estic molt content amb el meu rendiment, I listened to my trainer,’’ said Charlo, the identical twin brother of WBC 154-pound titlist Jermell Charlo. “I trained hard for this fight, I stayed in the gym the whole time.
“No matter what, people have to respect my accomplishments. He just wasn’t on my level. I told everyone what I was going to do since the fight was announced. I knew I was going to win; he was badly hurt after the knockdown.
“I just want to tell Julian Williams, Ho sento. Leading up to this fight Julian talked, and I held it in. I did what I had to do to become the champion of the world and I deserve my respect. He disrespected me all the way up to the fight. I made the fight happen; I gave the fans what they wanted to see. I stayed at 154 lliura, although I do want to move up to 160, just to fight someone the world said I couldn’t beat.
“I said I don’t want your congratulations; I want your apology. I don’t care what they say, I knocked him out. No matter what they say about me I’m going to continue to work hard. I did what my trainer told me to do, I stayed in there and bang the shot came home. I’m never disrespected this dude, mai, until I knocked him out.
“Sí, Vull unificar. I want to prove I’m the best junior middleweight in the world, none of them are on my level.”
Williams offered no excuses. “I just got caught,’ he said. “I was fine after the second round and kept going. Em va atrapar. He wasn’t too big. Em va atrapar.
“I didn’t care about any of that [post-fight drama]. I just wanted to win.”
Charlo-Williams was the fourth 154-pound title fight on SHOWTIME in 2016.
In one off the fights streamed earlier Dissabte on FACEBOOK LIVE, Sergey Lipinets (11-0, 9 KOs) noquejat Lenny Zappavigna(35-3, 25 KOs) to become the mandatory challenger for the IBF Junior Welterweight World Title.
After flooring Zappavigna midway through the fourth, Lipinets finished off the Australian with an overhand right in the eighth in a closely contested and bloody affair.
“Sí, this was my toughest fight, it’s bloody and rugged but no problem for me,’’ Lipinets said. “This was an eliminator and now I want my next fight to be for the world championship. Julius Indogo has the IBF title and now I’m the mandatory.
“I’m very happy with my performance. We’ve worked on adjusting during fights and that worked very well for me aquesta nit. I was hoping for the knockout but my trainer said to keep working and the stoppage will come.”
“I left it all in the ring,’’ Zappavigna said. “I fought my heart out and I came here to give it my best. Even though I’m disappointed with the loss, I am at peace with the result because I know I couldn’t have done anything else.
“I wish Sergey all the best in his world title fight.
“I know my fans are behind me and I’m bringing pride back to Australia. I know I was in control of the fight, but my Australian ‘white line fever’ kicked in and I tried to take his head off.”
In the opening bout on Facebook Live, talented undefeated middleweight Erickson Lubin (17-0, 12 KOs) knocked out previously once-beaten Juan Ubaldo Cabrera (23-2, 15 KOs) a 2:09 de la segona ronda.
“He was a little awkward in the first round,’’ Erickson said. “I set him up with my jab and I knew I hurt him in the second. That’s when I knew it was time for him to go.
“I think that fight definitely proves that I’m in the discussion as one of the top up and comers in the sport, but I don’t feel any pressure. I’m back in the gym els dilluns.
“I want to be undisputed champion. I want all of the belts. Give me the Charlos, Julian Williams, any of them.
“I’ll take whoever is in front of me next, but those names and put them in bold letters and you know I’ll be front and center for that Charlo-Williams fight.”
The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader and SHOWTIME INTERNATIONAL telecast will re-air on Monday, Desembre. 12, 10 p.m. ET / PT a SHOWTIME EXTREME. The fights were promoted by Ringstar Sports and TGB Promotions and sponsored by Corona.
