CARSON, CALIF. (Agost 14, 2021) – WBO Bantamweight World Champion John Riel Casimero defeated two-division champion Guillermo Rigondeaux to retain his title Saturday night live on SHOWTIME headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Califòrnia.

Un campió mundial de tres divisió, Campionat (31-4, 21 KOs) made his second successful title defense at 118-pounds, earning a career-best victory over the longtime 122-pound champion Rigondeaux (20-2, 13 KOs), who moved down to bantamweight in 2020.

“I’m excited to get the win,” said Casimero. “Rigondeaux is a good boxer and two-time Olympic gold medalist. I was worried, because he said he wouldn’t run, but he ran the whole time.”

The bout started with an eventful first round, in which it appeared for a moment that a Casimero left hook to the back of Rigondeaux’s head would lead to a knockdown, but referee Jerry Cantu ruled the moment a slip. During the exchange, Casimero threw several punches while Rigondeaux was on one knee, earning a warning from the referee.

A partir d’aquest moment, Rigondeaux remained steadfast to a defensive strategy that saw Casimero forced to chase his opponent around the ring. Mentrestant, Casimero stayed dedicated to pushing forward, looking to slow Rigondeaux down with body shots to set up power shots to the head.

“My expectations were for a knockout,” said Casimero. “Me and all my fans wanted that. I did my best to knock him out, but he was just running and not fighting.”

Rigondeaux was content countering his charging opponent, doing a majority of his damage with variations of his dangerous left hand. In a bout with numerous close rounds, Casimero ended the fight with a narrow 47 a 44 edge in punches landed, incloent una 41-28 tally in power punches.

Those power punches and sustained aggression proved to be enough for Casimero to hold onto his 118-pound title in the eyes of the judges, as scores of 117-111 i 116-112 overruled one judge’s 115-113 card in favor of Rigondeaux. While Rigondeaux disputed the decision, Casimero looked forward to potential unification clashes with WBC champion Nonito Donaire and WBA and IBF titleholder Naoya Inoue.

“Nobody wants to fight with me because I frustrate them in the ring,", va dir Rigondeaux. “I landed the punches that I needed to in order to win the fight tonight. This is how I win. I have these God-given skills and this is the way I display them. I’m a unique fighter. It’s my style and it’s the only one I know. You can see I’m still better than anyone else in the lighter weight classes and I’m going to keep fighting.”

“I had a three-fight plan,” said Casimero. “First was Rigondeaux, and I beat him. Next is Nonito Donaire and then finally Naoya Inoue.”

The co-main event saw rising contender Gary Antonio Russell (18-0, 12 KOs) i l'ex campió del món Emmanuel Rodríguez (19-2, 12 KOs) fight to a no-decision just 16 seconds into the first round of their 118-pound matchup, after an accidental headbutt injured Rodriguez and ended the fight.

“It happens,Va dir Russell. “I was looking to establish my jab and I tried to set up a hook, and he came in at the same time. It’s very disappointing.”

“I feel okay,"Va dir Rodriguez. “I’m a little frustrated after putting in all this work for the fight to end so quickly with nothing happening. With the headbutt, maybe if there was no blood, we would have been able to continue. But once I saw all the blood, I knew it was over.”

The crossroads battle for the Interim WBA Bantamweight Title was meant to offer Russell a chance to establish himself as a true title contender and give Rodriguez an opportunity to move one step closer to becoming a two-division champion. Rodriguez attempted to counter an incoming Russell attack, which led to the two southpaws clashing heads.

“I was actually in camp for about four months,Va dir Russell. “I prepared great for this fight. I was really looking to broadcast my talents and show everyone what’s in my arsenal. Desafortunadament, the headbutt happened.”

Rodriguez fell to the canvas immediately and was bleeding from his nose, prompting referee Sharon Sands to wave off the bout, which was ruled a no-decision.

“Per descomptat, I would like to come right back,Va dir Russell. “If he can do it, I want to get right back in there with Rodriguez.”

“I don’t want to lose the condition that I’m in,"Va dir Rodriguez. “I prepared really hard for this fight. As soon as the injury is fixed, I’ll be back in the ring and I’d like to fight Russell again.”

En la baralla d'obertura, l'ex campió del món Rau'shee Warren (19-3, 5 KOs) dominat Damien Vázquez (16-3-1, 12 KOs) on his way to a second-round stoppage in their bantamweight showdown. Warren scored his first knockout victory since 2015, after going the distance in his previous eight fights.

“I was trying to show them something different this time around,” said Warren. “I have always had the power, but this training camp was very different. I was sitting on my punches and working on something different. It worked in the ring.

“I always knew I had that power and I always knew I had that speed. It’s just about taking your time in the ring and letting them come. Quan vaig veure l'oportunitat, I went for it.”

A three-time U.S. Olímpic, Warren came out fast in the first round, using his speed advantage to beat Vazquez to the punch, connecting with a right hand midway through the frame that scored the fight’s first knockdown. Vazquez was able to rise to his feet, but was sent to the canvas for a second time moments later by another sharp right hand from Warren.

Cincinnati’s Warren landed an astounding 22 de 39 power punches in that first round, and continued his dominance into the second. Warren perfectly timed a straight left hand that badly rocked Vazquez, forcing referee Ray Corona to jump in and halt the bout at 2:18 en la segona ronda.

“Next fight is a title fight,” said Warren. “I am the number one contender for the WBA. I want to thank my team for putting me in this position and pushing me. They know what kind of fighter I am. I am going to be champion. Next fight I am grabbing that title. Maybe I will fight the winner of the main event tonight (Rigondeaux vs. Campionat)."

SHOWTIME featured highlights from a non-televised fight that saw undefeated rising prospect Brandon Lee (23-0, 21 KOs) keep his perfect record intact, as he notched his 13º career first-round knockout with a sensational performance against Ezequiel Fernandez (28-5-1, 3 KOs).

“La meva actuació va ser bona,” said Lee. “It could have been better. There’s always room for improvement. Al final de la dia, we got the job done. I’m definitely ready for the next level. It’s only right for me to step up the competition. I’ll take on anybody who’s ready.”

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will replay Sunday, Agost 15 a 9 a.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME and Tuesday, Agost 17 a 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME Extreme.

Veteran sportscaster Brian Custer hosted the SHOWTIME telecast while versatile combat sports voice Mauro Ranallo handled blow-by-blow action alongside Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and three-division world champion Abner Mares.

Here is what Rigondeaux had to say about training camp with Ronnie Shields and more:

On his upcoming matchup with John Riel Casimero: “It has been a very focused camp, and I have found inspiration watching the Olympics, and it has lit a spark in me. Winning two gold medals in my early years gives me added incentive to win this fight. I want to prove to the world that I am one of the best boxers ever, and that I have a lot left to give in this sport. I am confident that I am going to do that against the most avoided fighter in my weight class. Casimero is a dangerous fighter and a very powerful puncher, but I’m going to tame him with great boxing skills.”

On his recent training camp with coach Ronnie Shields: “Training in Texas with Ronnie Shields has been great and our energy working together is fantastic. Ronnie has had a lot of world champions, and has a very professional boxing gym, with a lot of world champions and fighters who are competing at the highest level of the sport. I am motivated to work hard, not just to reach my own goals, but by all the young fighters in the gym who are driven and focused. The atmosphere has brought something new out of me. I’m revived and feeling young again.”

On fighting for WBO world title: “It always feels good fighting for a world title, and I have had the WBO title before after I beat Nonito Donaire, but this time I’m going up against a hungry young lion. I am looking to capture another world title, and give another great fight that fans will talk about for years.”

On returning to the ring after a year-long layoff: “I feel good. I think at this point in my career, all the time away from the ring helps. I know how to fight and I know how to train, the big thing is knowing how to recover, and not damage my body. I am doing a good job at staying sharp in the gym, but not over training. A win against Casimero will do wonders for my career.”

Kicking off the telecast, l'ex campió del món Rau'shee Warren duels Damien Vázquez in a 10-round bantamweight bout.

L’esdeveniment està promogut per TGB Promotions. Les entrades ja estan a la venda i es poden comprar a AXS.com.

“Guillermo Rigondeaux is one of the most skilled fighters in all of boxing and he will seek to add to his resume against the exciting three-division champion and reigning 118-pound titlist John Riel Casimero,", va dir Tom Brown, President de Promocions TGB. “These are two fighters who have accomplished a lot in the sport, but each can elevate themselves to new heights with a victory on August 14. En l'esdeveniment co-principal, Antonio Russell looks to announce himself as the next Russell brother in line for a world title, against the sturdiest test of his career in Emmanuel Rodríguez. Opening up the night of bantamweight duels, Rau’shee Warren can step closer to regaining a bantamweight championship when he faces Damien Vázquez. These three fights will have huge implications on the future of the bantamweight division, which always provides great action for the fans.”

A longtime champion of the 122-pound division, Rigondeaux (20-1, 13 KOs) moved down in weight and captured a WBA bantamweight title against Liborio Solis in February 2020 per SHOWTIME. Des que em vaig convertir en professional 2009 after one of the best amateur careers in history, Rigondeaux has showcased masterful technical skills that made him a unified super bantamweight world champion and perennial member of the pound-for-pound list. A two-time Olympic gold medalist for his native Cuba, Rigondeaux made his name with victories over the likes of Nonito Donaire, Rico Ramos and Joseph Agbeko.

“This is a big fight for me and my team because we have a chance to win that WBO title,", va dir Rigondeaux. “Fighting on SHOWTIME once again is going to be fun and I’m grateful for the opportunity. Although I’ve been out of the ring for well over a year, I’m still in great shape and have plans to ruin Casimero’s dreams. I know he has a lot of power, but he’s fighting a man with excellent boxing skills and a high ring IQ. I’m going to box circles around Casimero and show him what ‘El Chacal’ is all about. My trainer Ronnie Shields, and I have been working on some new tricks, so don’t be surprised if I knock him out.”

The 32-year-old Casimero (30-4, 21 KOs) of Ormoc City, Leyte, Philippines will make his second title defense in this August 14 duel, having successfully defended it for the first time by knocking out Duke Micah in September 2020. Casimero trains in Las Vegas and originally won the title with an impressive third-round stoppage of Zolani Tete in November 2019. The three-division champion had previously captured titles at flyweight and light flyweight in a career that dates back to 2007. This will be his third career fight in the U.S. and his second to take place at Dignity Health Sports Park.

“I am very excited to be back on SHOWTIME and fighting in Southern California where a lot of Filipino fans can come see me fight,” said Casimero. “I look forward to defending my title against Guillermo Rigondeaux. Rigondeaux is known to a lot of Filipino fans for beating my fellow countryman Nonito Donaire . I will show the boxing world how to beat Rigondeaux and send him into retirement once and for all.”

The middle brother between WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Jr. i 2016 U.S. Olympian Gary Antuanne, Antonio Russell (18-0, 12 KOs) announced his arrival amongst the bantamweight division contenders with a technical decision over former world champion Juan Carlos Payano in December 2020 per SHOWTIME. The 28-year-old from Capitol Heights, Maryland. es va convertir en professional en 2015 after an impressive amateur career. After four wins in 2019, Russell kicked off 2020 defeating Jesus Martinez in February.

“I’m very excited for this fight on August 14 per SHOWTIME,Va dir Russell. “I’ve put in the work and I’m always ready to fight, no matter when the call comes. I’m so focused right now. Rodriguez is the only thing on my mind and I’m ready to put on a show.”

The 28-year-old Rodríguez (19-2, 12 KOs) returns to action after dropping a controversial split-decision to Reymart Gaballo last December on SHOWTIME. Lluitant contra Manati, Port Ric, Rodríguez won the IBF Bantamweight World Title with a unanimous decision victory over Paul Butler in 2018 and successfully defended it against then-unbeaten Jason Moloney. Rodríguez went on to lose the title to unbeaten champion Naoya Inoue in their May 2019 Títol Bout.

“I can’t wait to get back in the ring for this fight,” va dir Rodríguez. “Everyone knows what happened in my last fight against Gaballo. Aquesta vegada, I’m not leaving it up to the judges. I’m going for the knockout and a statement victory.”

Cau (18-3, 4 KOs) bounced back from a close decision loss in a world title fight against then unbeaten former champion Nordine Oubaali in January 2019 by earning decisions over Gilberto Mendoza and Sharone Carter. A southpaw from Cincinnati, Ohio, Warren won the WBA Bantamweight World Championship with a majority decision over Juan Carlos Payano in 2016 and lost the title the next year to Zhanat Zhakiyanov by split-decision. The 34-year-old became the first three-time Olympic boxer from the U.S. when he qualified for consecutive Olympic teams in 2004, 2008 i 2012.

“Vázquez is not the type of fighter that can compete with me,” said Warren. “When they sent me the name, I looked at one of his fights and 10 seconds was all I needed to see. I really want to face Rigondeaux, but I’m going to handle this and I’m going to wait until I get who I want to get. I’ve been sparring with a lot of top amateurs and that’s been keeping me sharp. They throw punches in bunches and they’re keeping me on my toes heading into August 14.”

The 24-year-old southpaw Vázquez (15-2-1, 7 KOs) was born in Thornton, Col. and now fights out of Las Vegas. The younger brother of former two-time champion Israel Vázquez, he most recently lost to super bantamweight champion Brandon Figueroa last September after having previously scored a stoppage win over Alejandro Moreno in February of 2020. Vázquez turned pro in 2013 and reeled off 14 consecutive wins to begin his career in the paid ranks.

“This is a great opportunity for me,” said Vázquez. “I turned pro at sixteen-years-old, so I took a much needed break after the Brandon Figueroa fight. Now I’m back and more ready than ever. I’m back fighting at bantamweight and that’s for sure the best weight for me going forward. I’m ready to show the world what I’m capable of. Això serà una guerra. Warren is a world class fighter, but if he thinks this is an easy fight, then he is totally mistaken and I’ll prove it on August 14.”

Uncasville, Conn. – December 20, 2020 – Undefeated bantamweight Reymart Gaballo scored a controversial split-decision victory over former world champion Emmanuel Rodríguez in the main event of Saturday night’s SHOWTIMEBOXING: EDICIÓ ESPECIAL Des de Mohegan Sun Arena a Uncasville, Conn., en un acte presentat per Premier Boxing Champions. Amb la victòria, Gaballo picked up the vacant interim WBC Bantamweight Title.

Saturday’s headliner in the last SHOWTIME BOXING event of 2020 was competitive from the opening bell. In only three of the twelve rounds were Rodriguez and Gaballo separated by more than three landed punches. Total, Gaballo (24-0, 20 KOs) threw 148 more punches than Rodriguez (19-2, 12 KOs), but still managed to connect on 16 fewer power punches. The punches of the 28-year-old Rodriguez seemed to be cleaner, as he wobbled the Filipino Gaballo on more than one occasion. No obstant això, two of the judges favored Gaballo’s aggression over Rodriguez’s ring generalship.

SHOWTIME’s unofficial scorer Steve Farhood scored the fight 118-110 in favor of Rodriguez and SHOWTIME analyst and former world champion Raul Marquez was dismayed by the judges’ decision.

“There’s no way Gaballo could have won that fight,", va dir Márquez. “In the worst-case scenario, you could have maybe given him three rounds. I gave him no rounds.”

“I am very happy and blessed to win this belt,” said the 24-year-old Gaballo. “I was always moving forward and controlling the pace, so I thought it was a close fight that either of us could have won.

“I’m waiting for my team to tell me what they have planned for me next. I’m going to keep training hard so I’m always ready for the opportunity when it comes.”

“Va ser una bona lluita, but he only won about two or three rounds,"Va dir Rodriguez. “There were two punches from me for every punch he landed. He knows he lost. Everyone knows we won. My team told me to go out and keep boxing him in the late rounds. We knew he needed a knockout in the twelfth round. That was his only chance to win.”

En l'esdeveniment co-principal, Philadelphia’s undefeated welterweight sensation Jaron Ennis (26-0, 24 KOs) saw his impressive 16-fight knockout streak come to a disappointing end after an accidental headbutt in the first round caused a brutal cut to the forehead of his opponent, Chris van Heerde (28-2-1, 12 KOs).

With only two minutes and thirty-nine seconds inside the ring to showcase his skills, Ennis was still able to flash glimpses of his championship potential as he landed 22 de 57 cops, 19 of them power shots as he appeared destined to stop the South African van Heerden and keep his KO streak alive before the clash of heads.

“Before the headbutt I had already cut him and I felt strong,” said a disappointed Ennis. “I knew he was ready to go. I feel like I’m getting better and better. Now I’ll just get back in the gym. As you could see from the first round, I was handling him easily. I feel like everyone is still sleeping on me, but I’m ready for anyone. Bring on the big names.”

A l'obertura de la televisió, bantamweight contender Gary Antonio Russell (18-0, 12 KOs) kept his unblemished record intact with a technical decision victory over former world champion Juan Carlos Payano (21-5, 9 KOs). After an accidental headbutt caused a bad cut to the left brow of Payano, referee David Fields stopped the fight after the sixth round at the advice of the ringside physician. The fight went to the scorecards, where Russell led on all three cards (58-56, 59-55, 59-55).

Abans de la lesió, Russell and Payano were engaged in a scrappy brawl that saw multiple exchanges of power punches. In the closing seconds of the sixth, and ultimately final round, Russell caught Payano with a counter-shot that hurt Payano. Russell landed 86 de 243 punches while Payano landed just 58 de 268 cops. Russell flashed excellent body work throughout the fight, out landing Payano 40 a 17 on body shots.

In SHOWTIME BOXING Prelims action that streamed live on the Canal de YouTube SHOWTIME Sports i Pàgina SHOWTIME Boxa Facebook, highly regarded 21-year-old prospect Brandun Lee (21-0, 19 KOs) extended his knockout streak to 13 with a third-round stoppage of Dakota Linger (12-5-2, 8 KOs) and Benjamin Whitaker (15-4, 3 KOs) scored a majority decision victory (76-76, 77-75, 79-73) over previously unbeaten prospect Zsolt Daranyi (15-1, 14 KOs).

Dissabte de BOXA DE SHOWTIME: EDICIÓ ESPECIAL telecast will replay on Monday at 10 p.m. ET / PT a SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Un equip de producció líder en la indústria i la tripulació d’anuncis van oferir totes les vistes, sounds and drama from Mohegan Sun Arena. Veteran broadcaster Brian Custer hosted the telecast. Versatile combat sports voice Mauro Ranallo called the action ringside alongside Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and former middleweight world champion Raúl “El Diamante” Marquez providing expert analysis.

LAS VEGAS (Novembre 24, 2019) – WBC campió pesat del món Deontay “El bombarder de Bronze” Wilder va continuar regnant el seu títol amb una victòria per nocaut d'un cop Luis “King Kong” Ortiz a la setena ronda de la seva represa dissabte a la nit que va encapçalar un FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View des del MGM Grand Garden Arena de Las Vegas.

Wilder va fer la seva 10º defensa del títol consecutiva amb èxit, lligant-lo amb Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes, Tommy Burns i Vitali i Wladimir Klitschko com els únics campions de pes pesat a aconseguir aquesta gesta.

En una revenja de la seva èpica 2018 lluita que va veure en Wilder recuperar-se de gairebé ser aturat per noquejar a Ortiz a la ronda 10, la lluita va tornar a veure ambdós homes mantenir l'impuls de la lluita en diferents moments.

Ortiz va controlar gran part de l'acció de la lluita mentre buscava convertir-se en el primer campió cubà de pes pesat de la història.. Wilder no va ser molt actiu a les primeres rondes, mentre que Ortiz va ser capaç de punxar eficaçment, moure i llançar a l'esquerra per acumular rondes a la targeta de puntuació.

“Amb Ortiz, pots veure per què cap altre pes pesat vol lluitar contra ell,” Said Wilder. “És molt astut, es mou estratègicament i el seu intel·lecte és molt alt. Vaig haver de mesurar-lo en determinats llocs.”

Gran part de l'atac de Wilder durant les sis primeres rondes es va centrar en el seu jab i en un ganxo esquerre que no semblava aterrar net fins a principis de la setena ronda.. Amb la setena ronda minvant, Wilder va fer servir una finta i una centrada dreta dreta per abatre Ortiz, la primera vegada que havia estat ferit en la baralla.

“Vaig haver d'entrar i sortir i finalment vaig trobar la meva mesura,” Said Wilder. “Vaig veure el tret i el vaig agafar. El meu intel·lecte és molt alt al ring i ningú em dóna crèdit per mi. Crec que el vaig fer brunzit amb un ganxo d'esquerra abans a la ronda i el vaig agafar des d'allà.”

Mentre Ortiz va poder aixecar-se, l'àrbitre Kenny Bayless va renunciar al combat a 2:51 en la setena ronda. Ortiz va liderar les tres targetes de puntuació, pels marges de 58-56 i 59-55 dues vegades. Segons Compubox, Ortiz va aterrar Wilder 35 a 34, amb una 28 a 17 avantatge en cops de potència.

“Això és la boxa,” va dir Ortiz. “Vaig dir que un de nosaltres anava a ser noquejat i que no aniria 12 rondes. Tenia el cap clar quan vaig colpejar el llenç. Quan vaig sentir que l'àrbitre deia set estava intentant aixecar-me, però suposo que el recompte va anar una mica més ràpid del que em pensava.

“Aquesta va ser una gran lluita i vaig pensar que estava guanyant clarament,” va continuar Ortiz. “Em van atrapar amb un gran tir i he de donar molt de crèdit a Deontay Wilder. Sabia que el meu moviment li donava problemes. Vaig fer alguns cops grans i vaig pensar que el tenia ferit. Vaig pensar que estava al dia i podria haver continuat.”

Al ring després de la baralla, Ortiz va assegurar que continuarà amb la seva recerca d'un campionat de pes pesat.

“Deontay va mostrar una gran voluntat i no em fa vergonya la meva actuació,” va dir Ortiz. “Sé que puc vèncer qualsevol a la divisió de pes pesat. La meva carrera no s'ha acabat. Vaig a treballar per tornar a una gran lluita.”

Després de la baralla, Wilder va dir a FOX Sports’ Heidi Androl que el seu objectiu és unificar la divisió de pes pesat i convertir-se en campiona indiscutible.

“Següent, tenim a Tyson Fury a la represa,” va dir en Wilder.” Està previst pel febrer, així ho veurem. Llavors, Vull la unificació. Vull un campió, una cara i un campió de pes pesat – Deontay Wilder. La divisió de pes pesat és massa petita, hi hauria d'haver un campió i és Deontay Wilder.”

En l'esdeveniment co-principal, Lleó “El Terratrèmol” Santa Creu (37-1-1, 19 KOs) es va convertir en campió del món de quatre divisions en capturar el pes súper ploma de l'AMB amb una decisió unànime Miguel Flores (24-3, 12 KOs).

“Guanyar aquest títol significa el món per a mi,” va dir Santa Creu. “Això és tot per als fans que em donen suport. Avui no m'he sentit ni he actuat com volia. Tornaré al gimnàs i tindré una gran lluita el 2020.”

L'acció va començar a escalfar a la tercera ronda, quan Santa Cruz va començar a trobar una llar per a la seva mà dreta recta que l'ajudaria a controlar gran part de la resta de la lluita. Flores es va ajustar i va utilitzar més moviment per intentar contrarestar l'agressió de Santa Cruz i també es va centrar a contrarestar aquelles mans dretes amb trets al cos..

“Estic content d'haver aconseguit la victòria,” va dir Santa Creu. “Miguel és un bon lluitador, em va fer una lluita dura i va demostrar que no era un empènyer. Hem fet una gran batalla.”

“Va ser una bona lluita i vaig demostrar que pertanyo a aquest nivell,” va dir Flores. “Acabo d'anar 12 rondes amb Leo Santa Cruz. No és un èxit en si mateix, però vaig frenar el seu ritme. Com he dit abans, no només es tracta de llançar cops de puny, però es tracta del coeficient intel·lectual de l'anell i vaig demostrar que el tinc.”

Malgrat Flores’ tàctiques, Santa Cruz va poder mantenir el control i frustrar el seu rival. L'àrbitre Tony Weeks li va restar un punt a Flores a la vuitena ronda a causa d'una retenció excessiva durant els molts intercanvis..

Santa Cruz va mantenir la vora amb cops de puny aterrats 253 a 222, mentre que Flores va llançar més cops de puny que Santa Cruz per un compte de 1024 a 907.

“Va ser una lluita estreta i no vaig pensar que aterrava massa,” va dir Flores. “Estava ocupat, però no estava fent massa trets. Vaig fer tirs més nets, però ell estava més ocupat.”

Flores va continuar intentant maltractar Santa Cruz i accidentalment el va colpejar amb un cop de cap a la novena ronda que va obrir un tall a l'ull esquerre de Santa Cruz.. El campió de quatre divisions va poder resistir aquest tall i va acabar fort en el seu camí cap a una decisió unànime per desenes de 115-112 i 117-110 dues vegades. Mira els moments destacats AQUÍ.

“Vull quedar-me als 130,” va dir Santa Creu. “Volem les grans baralles 2020. Vull Gervonta Davis o Gary Russell Jr. Vull mostrar al món que no tinc por de ningú.”

El pagament per visió també va incloure el campió de pes súper gallo de l'AMB Brandon “El trencacors” Figueroa (20-0-1, 15 KOs) conservant el seu títol amb un empat dividit contra l'antic campió Juliol Cella (32-4-1, 28 KOs) després 12 rondes d'acció.

“Crec que vaig guanyar la lluita,” , Va dir Figueroa. “Va posar molta pressió, però vaig lluitar millor a les primeres rondes i vaig acabar fort.”

Figueroa va començar la lluita amb el control, tancant la distància d'hora i utilitzant la seva activitat i combinacions per prendre el control precoç de l'acció. L'estratègia de Ceja primerenca va ser contrarestar el seu oponent que carregava, però aviat va recollir l'agressivitat per no deixar créixer l'impuls ofensiu de Figueroa.

A les rondes mitjanes, La cella va començar a prendre el control, aterrant els cops de puny més potents mentre Figueroa continuava avançant, però no va poder aterrar res que frenés l'atac de Ceja. Mira els moments destacats AQUÍ.

Figueroa va poder resistir les tempestes a les rondes mitjanes i arribar a les rondes finals on va tornar a recollir l'activitat i l'atac corporal.. Va poder trencar el llavi de Ceja durant tota l'acció, fent-lo inflar i sagnar.

La sortida del cop de puny va ser impressionant per part dels dos lluitadors, amb els seus 784 Els cops combinats van ser els quarts més en la història del pes súper gallo, mentre que els seus 2,811 els cops de puny llançats van ser els segons més alts, segons CompuBox. Figueroa es va guanyar un estret 411 a 373 avantatge en cops de puny aterrats.

Després 12 rondes, els jutges’ totals van ser 115-113 per Figueroa, 116-112 per Ceja i 114-114, que va donar lloc a la decisió del sorteig dividit.

“Aquesta lluita és per a tots els fans que heu vingut aquí a veure'm,” va dir la Ceja. “Era un home al respecte i em va donar la lluita. Crec que vaig guanyar, però respecto els jutges’ decisió. Definitivament ho tornaré a fer en una represa.”

Ceja no va poder guanyar el títol després de no arribar al límit de 122 lliures en el pesatge de divendres..

“Bàsicament he lluitat amb una persona en una classe de pes per sobre de la meva aquesta nit,” , Va dir Figueroa. “Estic bastant segur si va pesar 122, ni tan sols seria una lluita estreta. Hem de recuperar la represa però millor que ell faci el pes.”

L'estrena de pagament per visió va veure la de Mèxic Eduardo Ramirez (23-2-3, 10 KOs) lliurar una impressionant victòria de nocaut tècnic a la quarta ronda sobre els invictes anteriorment Leduan Bartolomé (15-1-1, 7 KOs) en la seva represa de pes ploma. Mireu el més destacatAQUÍ

“Vaig dir abans de la baralla, No anava a deixar-ho passar als jutges,” va dir Ramírez. “La primera baralla no va ser un empat. He treballat molt dur per això i avui ha sortit com volia. Vaig sentir el seu poder de cop. Ell és un bon boxejador. Vaig venir aquí per lluitar. Visca Mèxic.”

La lluita va començar tàcticament, amb Barthelemy buscant utilitzar el seu avantatge d'abast per treballar fora del seu jab, mentre que Ramírez buscava treballar dins i donar cops de força. A la tercera ronda, Ramírez va començar a trencar la defensa de Barthelemy amb una sèrie de ganxos al final de la ronda.

Ramírez va continuar avançant a la quarta ronda, pressionant Barthelemy i trobant esquerdes addicionals en la seva defensa. Tard a la ronda, Ramírez va trencar amb un ganxo a la dreta que va seguir amb una recta perfecta a l'esquerra que va posar a Barthelemy..

Mentre que Barthelemy va poder aixecar-se, l'àrbitre Russell Mora va renunciar al combat a les 2:59 de la quarta ronda. Ramírez va sostenir a 73 a 52 avantatge en cops de puny aterrats, Incloent 27 a la tercera ronda i 31 a la quarta ronda.

“No tinc excuses,” Said Bartolomé. “El millor home ha guanyat aquesta nit. Vaig fer un gran campament i em sentia bé. Però quan vaig sortir allà no em sentia el millor possible. Em vaig girar per intentar caminar i posar els peus sota meu després de la caiguda. No estava intentant aturar la baralla ni res i vaig pensar que podria continuar. Ara només em queda viure amb això i tornar.”

FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View Prelims a FS2 i FOX Deportes va veure una perspectiva sensacional de 17 anys Vito Mielnicki Jr. (3-0, 3 KOs) lliurar una parada de Marklin Bailey (6-6, 4 KOs) 2:31 a la segona ronda del seu pes welter. Més, perspectiva súper lleugera en augment Omar Juárez (6-0, 4 KOs) caigut Kevin Shacks (3-5-3, 3 KOs) tres vegades en el seu camí cap a una victòria per TKO 1:59 a la sisena ronda.

Les lluites prèvies addicionals van comptar amb les de Tennessee Dustin Long (3-1-2, 3 KOs) anotant un nocaut de Marsellos Wilder (5-2, 2 KOs) amb un ganxo d'esquerra que va acabar la lluita 1:51 a la quarta ronda. Mireu el més destacat AQUÍ. L'inici de les preliminars va veure la d'Ucraïna Víktor Slavinskyi (11-0-1, 6 KOs) guanyar una decisió unànime sobre la de Mèxic Rigoberto Hermosillo (11-2-1, 8 KOs) després de sis rondes d'acció súper ploma per desenes de 60-54, 59-55 i 58-56.

Los Angeles’ Santa Cruz hosted media at City of Angels Boxing as he nears his opportunity to win a world title in a fourth weight class. Here is what Santa Cruz had to say Wednesday:

LEO SANTA CREU

“I’m only focused on my fight because I know that Miguel Flores is going to bring everything he has to try to win that title. There are a lot of great champions in this division but I can’t think of anything past Flores.

“I’m expecting a classic Mexico vs. Mexico brawl. Flores is from Michoacan and the people from there have a lot of heart and they leave everything in the ring. I’ve seen him do it. He throws to the body really well. He has a good uppercut too. So I know it’s going to be a tough fight.

“We always work hard in the gym so that we can throw a lot of punches in the fight. We want to put the pressure on and give the fans a great fight and take home the win.

“I train hard no matter who the opponent is. That’s the only thing I know how to do. So I don’t think about any let downs, only about winning the fight in front of me. I think this is a great opportunity to introduce myself to the division.

“I’m going to go in there and fight hard for 12 rounds or as long as it lasts. I’m going to be smart and make sure I get the win. But we also always want to give the fans a great show from start to finish.

“Em sento molt bé ara mateix. I think I’m going to be strong at that weight and have extra power in the ring on fight night. I don’t spend as much time in camp worrying about cutting weight so everything else will be better because of that. I’m going to be ready for everything Miguel Flores can bring.

“I want to win another title for my legacy and so I can continue to give fans great fights. This is a great opportunity so I’m going to go ahead and make the most of it.

“It’s great to be on this card with such an exciting main event. You know that Deontay Wilder can knock anyone out at any minute. The heavyweight division is really exciting right now and I know Wilder and Luis Ortiz are going to give everyone something to remember. I want to make an exciting fight too and steal the show. It’ll be hard to do, but I’m going to go out there and try to do it.”

“I’m working on throwing a lot of jabs and countering. I know that Ortiz likes to counter as well. I’ve been in there with him before. I understand what he wants to do and I can recognize certain weaknesses we’re looking to exploit. It’s going to be a good fight while it lasts. Everyone knows what to expect from Deontay Wilder. I don’t have time to play games and I don’t get paid for overtime.”

Always one to find ways to push his training and his overall physical fitness level, Wilder has incorporated swimming and scuba diving into his conditioning program.

“For those that don’t know, I’m a certified scuba diver,” Said Wilder. “I enjoy it and I’ve been doing it for a few years now.

Water is great for exercise and I love it.”

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment, which is promoted by BombZquad Promotions, TGB Promotions and Mayweather Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased atwww.mgmgrand.com owww.axs.com.

The 22-year-old Figueroa (20-0, 15 KOs) will look to make the first defense of his super bantamweight championship in his fourth fight of 2019. He knocked out Moises Flores in January on FS1 and won an interim super bantamweight title in April on FOX by stopping Yonfrez Parejo. Representing Weslaco, Texas, Brandon, the younger brother of former world champion Omar, has a seven-fight knockout streak that he brings into the ring on November 23, having most recently stopped Javier Nicolas Chacon with an exciting fourth-round knockout in an FS1 main event in August. He was subsequently elevated to full champion by the WBA.

“This is probably going to be the biggest test of my career in the first defense of my title against a solid fighter like Ceja,” , Va dir Figueroa. “To be fighting on pay-per-view of the Wilder-Ortiz II undercard at MGM Grand is a dream come true. I’ve been working towards this moment my whole life. I attended Pacquiao vs. Thurman in July and the crowd was electric that night. I told myself while watching that fight ringside that I couldn’t wait to fight at MGM on a similar card, and now look at where we are. Ceja might have lost against Rigondeaux, but he put on a great fight and I know he’s going to come forward and brawl with me on November 23.”

Fighting out of Tlalnepantla, Mèxic, Cella (32-4, 28 KOs) will look to rebound from a loss to Guillermo Rigondeaux on FOX in June, when he was stopped in round eight while leading on all three judges’ quadres de comandament. The 26-year-old knocked out Hugo Ruiz in 2015 to win an interim title before eventually being elevated to the full champion. While he lost the rematch to Ruiz, Ceja put together wins in two of his next three fights heading into the Rigondeaux bout.

“This is a great opportunity and I plan to win the world title again on November 23,” said Ceja. “I know what it takes to win and I will have the best training of my career for this fight. I hope Brandon Figueroa is prepared for fireworks. This title is coming back to Mexico for my country, my pride and my people.”

Nery (30-0, 24 KOs) is a power puncher who has stopped his last 11 opponents and 15 del seu passat 16. The 24-year-old southpaw from Tijuana, Mexico will be making his third appearance on a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View this year. He scored a dominant stoppage victory over McJoe Arroyo on the March event in Arlington, Texas and returned on the July 20 show to stop former champion Juan Carlos Payano. He scored a TKO victory over Shinsuke Yamanaka to win the bantamweight world title in 2018.

“I’m excited for another opportunity to perform on the biggest stage and show that I’m the best bantamweight in the world,” va dir en Nery. “Rodríguez is a tough competitor and he will help bring out my best on November 23. Mexico and Puerto Rico have a storied rivalry in this sport and I intend to make my mark in history with a spectacular win.”

The 27-year-old Rodríguez (19-1, 12 KOs) will also look to put himself back in position to reclaim a 118-pound belt with a statement win on November 23. Fighting out of Vega Baja, Port Ric, Rodríguez won the IBF Bantamweight World Title with a unanimous decision victory over Paul Butler in 2018 and defended it successfully against then-unbeaten Jason Moloney. He most recently was stopped by unbeaten champion Naoya Inoue in their May title bout.

“Switching opponents is no problem for me since we always train for different fighting styles,” said Rodríguez, who had previously been scheduled to face former champion Rau’shee Warren before Warren withdrew due to injury. “My Puerto Rican and Mexican people want to see a great fight and that’s what they will have on November 23. I know what Nery brings to the table and I’m ready for that. We are confident in victory and that in 2020 I will be crowned world champion again.”
