LONDON – February 23, 2019 - Chris Eubank Jr.. earned a career-defining victory with a hard-fought unanimous decision over British rival and former two-time world champion James DeGale in a super middleweight grudge match Saturday on SHOWTIME from The O2 in London.



eubank, el hijo de la leyenda del boxeo británico y ex campeón mundial de dos divisiones Chris Eubank Sr., floored DeGale twice en route to the clear decision, que fue anotado 114-112, 115-112, 117-109. Video: https://s.sho.com/2E6mWI8



Working in his first bout with a full-time trainer, Eubank fought a controlled fight. The former world title challenger floored DeGale in a rough moment in the second, stunning his rival with a big left hook against the ropes and flooring him moments later with a strong right cross that sent DeGale to the canvas for just the second fight of his career.



DeGale, who established his championship career as a slick southpaw, was unable to jab at range and couldn’t handle the constant pressure from Eubank. The former Olympic Gold Medalist resorted to lunging from the outside and was largely ineffective on the inside, often clinching while in close quarters.



“I knew he was going to come at me like that,” Eubank said. “He’s a slick southpaw, but my game plan worked. Smart pressure and not getting too ahead of myself. He’s a hell of a fighter, hell of a competitor but at the end of the day my head and my heart won this fight.”



“There was a lot of animosity leading to this fight. Le dije, ‘This is my time,’ and it was. He’s a veteran of the game, he throws big shots and he manages to stay up. To get up after those knockdowns is a statement about his tenacity and the type of fighter he is.”



The second knockdown came in the 10º as Eubank landed a powerful left hook that buckled DeGale with just 30 segundos por jugarse en la ronda. Una vez más, DeGale tried to clinch to avoid the knockdown, but his hand touched the canvas and was ruled just the third knockdown of his career.



Después de la pelea, DeGale, who was the first British fighter to earn an Olympic Gold Medal and a world championship, appeared to be leaning toward retirement.



“I definitely I didn’t do enough,"Dijo DeGale. “He was on it and I didn’t do enough. You have to do more than enough to counter someone that came forward like Chris.



“I’m going to go back and talk to my team, Mi familia, and decide. I left my mark in boxing. I won an Olympic Medal, two world titles and it may be the time to hang it up.”



While DeGale contemplates retirement, Eubank has his sights set on another shot at a world title.



“This was the most important fight of my career, and I made a statement. I’m back where I’m supposed to be, at the top of the food chain. I’m coming for all the belts in the middleweight and super middleweight division. I’m fighting everyone they put in front of me.



“I’m glad to make my American debut here on SHOWTIME. I’m glad to be introduced to the American public this way – making a statement.”



En la pelea de apertura de la doble cartelera de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, undefeated heavyweight Joe Joyce kept his knockout record intact with a sixth-round TKO of former heavyweight world champion Bermane Stiverne.



After an exciting first round, Joyce opened up the action in the second with a monstrous straight right and unloaded from bell to bell against a defenseless Stiverne, who continued to punch back despite eating damaging shots. After a series of combos in the opening minute of the third, Joyce caught Stiverne with a straight right hand to send him to the canvas for the fifth time in his professional career. Stiverne survived the round while throwing looping shots but failed to return any meaningful punches.



Joyce, la 2016 Medallista de plata olímpico, consistently set up a powerful straight right behind an accurate and effective left jab throughout the fight. With Joyce (8-0, 8 KOs) continuing to tee off against a largely defenseless Stiverne, referee Howard Foster stepped in to halt the contest at 2:26 of the sixth. Stiverne (25-4-1, 21 KOs) did not protest the stoppage.



“Big respect to Stiverne – like a true champion, he’s very tough and was still throwing shots, but I guess I was just a bit too much,Joyce dijo. “It was about being patient. He’s such a tough guy that he took those shots no problem.



“I was hitting him with everything I had, including the kitchen sink. I listened to Abel (Sánchez) in the corner, did everything he said and it went well. My jab was really effective. I’m a seasoned vet. I picked up my poise and remained calm along the way.



“Big things are coming. My next one will be for the WBA Regular (Título) and I’ll be back in the gym soon. I need to have a couple more fights like this and then I’ll be ready for the big champions.”



Highlights of former world champion Lee Selby’s lightweight debut were featured during Saturday’s telecast. A former champion at featherweight, Selby (27-2, 9 KOs) overcame a second round accidental head butt to win a 12-round unanimous decision (116-112, 116-112, 115-114) over Omar Douglas (19-3, 13 KOs).



An encore presentation of Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader will air tonight/Saturday at 10 p.m. ET / PT por SHOWTIME EXTREME, Sunday at 9 a.m. ET / PT el SHOWTIME y el lunes a las 10 p.m. ET / PT por SHOWTIME EXTREME.

I am petrified that Junior may not win this fight,"Él dijo.

Three Hall of Famers will round out the telecast team – Emmy® premio ganador reportero Jim Gray, boxing historian Steve Farhood as unofficial ringside scorer, y el presentador de ring de renombre mundial Jimmy Lennon Jr.



Here’s what the fighters and their respective camps had to say during Thursday’s press conference at Intercontinental at The O2:



James DeGale:

“I vacated my title for fights like this. Chris Eubank has been calling my name for a long time and finally I get a chance to punch him in his face.



“I have no respect for him. None. This guy is a diluted idiot. And on Saturday night I can’t wait to deal with him. I’m going to come and give it to him properly. He can’t box. We’ve all heard this before.



“This is the biggest fight of his career. It’s retirement time. Whoever loses this fight is finished. It’s do or die on Saturday…His retirement fight is here. It’s his last fight, te lo prometo.



“I’m proven. He estado allí, hecho que. I’ve won everything. He’s done nothing. And I’m going to retire him.



“Eubank is a tough fighter, es fuerte. He has a lot of good attributes, but I’m too good for him. To mix it up and go to the very top you need more than strength and toughness. Every time he’s stepped up, he’s lost.



“The fear of losing is because I know what’s on the line. This is do or die. If I can’t beat him, if I can’t beat Chris Eubank Jr., He terminado.



“A lot of people think I’ve seen better days. A lot of people think I’m on the decline. I’ve had issues in the past, but I can honestly say I’m fully fit. I’m in the best shape I’ve been for a long, mucho tiempo, physical and mentally. When I feel like I feel no one can beat me.



“If I can’t beat Chris that means I’m shot, that means I’m over the hill.”



CHRIS EUBANK JR.:

“This guy is a bum. He talks a good game. He’s going to have a good go, but at the end of the day I’m going to be too much for him.



“We are both at a stage where we can’t lose. We are both fighting for our careers. He knows he can’t handle me. He’s asking himself, ‘Can I survive?’ And the answer is absolutely not.



“There’s nothing he can do in that ring that I can’t handle. I’m going to box his head off.



“I’ve got a full time trainer now. Por primera vez en mi carrera, I have a trainer day in and day out focusing on strategy to prepare me for what James is – a slick southpaw. That’s why I’m so confident. If he wants to run, we have the gameplan. If he wants to stand and swing, we have the gameplan. We have a plan for everything.



“What matters is that James’ career is over in a few days. I sent him a message after he lost to [George] Groves saying he needs to keep up because we are going to fight one day. And now that we’re finally here I look into his eyes and I don’t see a confident guy.



“It’s my time. I’m expecting the best he’s ever been and that’s still not going to be enough.



“I’m a world-level fighter. Anyone in the boxing game knows that. This is my opportunity to prove that once and for all to set the record straight and prove I’m the real deal. I know this is a defining fight in my career. It is do or die and I’m ready for that.



“James knows what’s coming. Al final de la día, his last performances haven’t been up to par, but i don’t think he respected his [past] oponentes. He respects me, and I respect him and that’s why this is a real fight.



“I’ve been in the game for a long time but this is just the beginning of a long journey for me. This is my biggest fight. Tengo que ganar. Si gano, I’m back on the world stage. Beating James DeGale sets me up for a world title which is the whole reason I started in this game.”





JIM MCDONNELL:

“There are levels to boxing. Chris was a good prospect coming through but he’s not on the same level as James. He’ll find out what it takes to be a world champion. James DeGale is levels above Chris Jr.



“Chris may have all the drive he needs but he doesn’t have the skills to beat James DeGale.



“I know James is not losing. James DeGale is probably the best British fighter I’ve seen in my country.”





CHRIS EUBANK SR.:

“I’ve seen the pinnacle of James and it’s intoxicating. With Chris, not everything I’ve said has been applied. It may have been heard, but not applied. What I said works. I wouldn’t have 19 championship wins if it didn’t.



“I’m not convinced [Chris will win] because James DeGale has pedigree. Being an [olímpico] Gold Medalist and former world champion is real. I respect the man’s abilities. Junior hasn’t.



“My son looks at the physical aspect of boxing and, from a physical point of view, I don’t think there is anyone who can stand with him. But boxing isn’t just physical – it’s also spiritual, and that’s where Junior lacks. I don’t know whether he has that.



“This is a 50/50 fight and for the first time I am petrified of what the outcome can be. I am petrified that Junior may not win this fight.



“This is the wisdom of someone who has been here. You never underestimate your opponent based on past performances. Anyone who thinks this guy is on a slide because of past performances is making a mistake.



“From a physical aspect, Junior has the upper hand. From a spiritual aspect and pedigree aspect, James has the upper hand, and that’s why this is a 50/50 lucha.



“I do know Chris has learned and let’s see what is produced. It can be a brilliant fight.”





Paulie Malignaggi:

“I like our chances. I know the guy that I have been in camp with. The things I’ve seen, I like. They are much more positive this time around.



“You can’t underestimate a guy like Eubank. He always comes to win. Pero, regardless of the gameplan, there is a certain mentality and my guy has it. He’s a Gold Medalist and he knows what mentality to bring on Saturday.



“James has won two major world titles, an Olympic Gold Medal. Chris has had some good wins but when he went to that elite level, él perdió. Chris is a good fighter but he’s not beaten this level of opposition.”

McGivern asegura el título de peso pesado ligero por el camino difícil en el histórico evento de Clacton-on-Sea.

Informe de Ringside: Gianluca Di Caro

 

El sábado por la noche en el Princess Theatre de Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, El boxeo profesional hizo un regreso muy bienvenido a la ciudad costera después de casi 80 año, cuando Tommy Jacobs de Colchester presentó su última promoción de boxeo, acertadamente titulado "Historia".

 

El boxeo profesional anterior en la ciudad, en febrero 1939, Vea al irlandés Mike Kavan vencer al londinense Charlie Mack en el entonces recientemente inaugurado campamento de vacaciones de Butlin.

 

Clacton es una ciudad llena de historia del boxeo, aunque desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial principalmente de la variedad Amateur, De hecho, el propio Tommy Jacobs peleó en la ciudad en numerosas ocasiones durante su carrera amateur y uno de los grandes del deporte es inmortalizado por el restaurante de la bolera en Clacton Pier., Armstrong, que lleva el nombre del boxeador estadounidense John Henry Armstrong que venció al campeón británico Ernie Roderick también en 1939.

 

Parecía bastante apropiado que el primero de los concursos de boxeo profesional de esta nueva era presentara la actual Fundación Mundial de Boxeo. (WBF) Campeón europeo e internacional, así como promotor del evento, Tommy Jacobs, en un concurso de seis rondas que no es del campeonato contra Dundalk, de Irlanda Michael Kelly.

 

Desde la campana inicial, Jacobs se lanzó a la pelea con su oponente altamente experimentado., aunque solo con golpes de prueba tentativos, pero a medida que avanzaba la ronda, la acción se volvió más completa en, con Jacobs apoyando a Kelly en las cuerdas antes de dejar que rasgue con combinaciones hábiles en el cuerpo y la cabeza.

 

Kelly, un retador de múltiples títulos anterior por derecho propio, inicialmente cubrió y absorbió los disparos, pero pronto comenzó a contrarrestar eficazmente.

 

Más de lo mismo a principios del segundo, aunque debe darle crédito a Kelly por sus hábiles respuestas que evitaron que Jacobs tuviera el mismo nivel de éxito en la primera estrofa, Sin embargo, cuando el reloj entró en la final 20 segundos más o menos de la ronda Jacobs comenzó a dejar rasgar con golpes importantes al cuerpo con un éxito creciente, Tanto es así que, literalmente, en los últimos segundos Kelly se vio obligado a arrodillarse después de una izquierda particularmente cruel..

 

Desafortunadamente, Kelly luchó por recuperar el aliento y ponerse de pie a tiempo para superar la cuenta del árbitro Lee Murtagh., la hora oficial de la interrupción es 2 Minutos y 56 Segundos de la segunda vuelta.

 

Después de la pelea, Tommy Jacobs anunció que la razón por la que emprendió una pelea de seis asaltos que no era del campeonato y no la pelea por el título Intercontinental WBF originalmente planeada contra el albanés Xhuljo Vrenozi, fue que se le propuso desafiar al dos veces campeón mundial de Australia, Sam Soliman, para la Fundación Mundial de Boxeo. (WBF) Título mundial en diciembre.

 

El segundo combate de la noche ve a Dean Porter haciendo su debut profesional contra Steven Sunners del Liverpool. (2-0-0).

Qué gran asunto de acción, de principio a fin, ambos muchachos realmente lo hicieron martillo y tenazas.

 

Después de cuatro rondas brillantes y reñidas, no fue una sorpresa que el resultado fuera a estar cerca., y cerca estaba, Lectura de la tarjeta de puntuación del árbitro Lee Murtagh 39-38 a favor de Steven Sunners del Liverpool.

 

El siguiente fue un concurso de peso pluma de cuatro asaltos entre el propio Ben 'The Claxican de Clacton’ Cook y Chris Wong de Belfast, ambos debutaban como profesionales.

 

El primer par de rondas, como con Porter-Sunners, lucharon tan de cerca que no fue fácil llamar al ganador de cada ronda, sin embargo, en el 3ro la decisión se tomó un poco más fácil después de que Cook conectó un golpe al cuerpo al final del asalto para enviar al irlandés de rodillas..

 

Después de cuatro rondas de acción muy entretenidas, se leyó la tarjeta de puntuación del árbitro Lee Murtagh 40-37 a favor del héroe local Ben Cook.

 

Al igual que en el concurso anterior, este fue un thriller de acción de proporciones épicas., tanto es así que sin duda fue la Pelea de la Noche.

 

Tengo que decir que disfruté mucho esta pelea y, con suerte, después de que esta pareja tenga algunas peleas en su haber, habrá una revancha, ya que me encantaría ver a estos dos en acción uno contra el otro nuevamente., era tan bueno.

 

En la cuarta pelea de la noche, Rob Elden, el súper mediano de Ipswich, hace su debut profesional contra Lee Cooper de Liverpool..

 

Elden empezó duro y rápido, llevar la pelea a su enemigo más experimentado y dejar que rasguen con grandes golpes al cuerpo y la cabeza. Al principio, Cooper se cubrió, pero pronto comenzó a contraatacar con algunos peces gordos propios., sin embargo, al hacerlo, dejó una apertura en su defensa que el hombre de Ipswich se apresuró a capitalizar con un gran derechazo a la cabeza para enviar a Copper a la lona..

 

Copper se puso de pie y la acción se reanudó en la misma línea., con Elden respaldando a Copper antes de dejarse llevar por los peces gordos, Cooper respondió una vez más con sus propios peces gordos. Mientras la ronda se acercaba al segundo minuto, Una vez más, Elden encontró una grieta en la armadura de Cooper y esta vez conectó un gran derecho al cuerpo para enviar al Liverpool a la lona por segunda y última vez.. El tiempo oficial de la detención fue de un minuto y cincuenta y nueve segundos de la primera ronda..

 

La pelea principal de la noche ve a Navid Iran de Hove y Ben McGivern de Escocia luchando por el vacante Consejo de Boxeo Profesional. (PBC) Título internacional de plata en peso semipesado.

 

Luchar es el término correcto; Este fue un Battle Royale de proporciones épicas.

 

Desde el principio, Irán llevó la pelea a McGivern, haciendo retroceder al escocés contra las cuerdas y dejando que rasgue con una ráfaga de grandes izquierdas y derechos. McGivern se cubrió con sensatez y esperó la oportunidad de contrarrestar, lo que hizo con buenos resultados una vez que surgió la oportunidad.

 

Sin embargo, no fue suficiente para evitar que Irán regresara con un ataque contundente similar casi de inmediato. McGivern una vez más logró contrarrestar e inicialmente tomar el control.

 

A medida que avanzaba la ronda, Irán consiguió un par de disparos que obligaron nuevamente a McGivern a encubrirse.. Irann mantuvo la presión con los peces gordos, mientras McGivern atrapó a la mayoría con sus guantes, un gran derechazo atravesó la guardia escocesa, sacudiéndolo hasta la médula.

 

Cómo McGivern llegó al final de la ronda, Simplemente no lo se, sus piernas estaban bien y realmente se habían ido, pero de alguna manera lo hizo.

 

La segunda ronda ve a Irán salir duro y rápido, Sin embargo McGivern estaba listo para el asalto, nuevamente cubriendo inicialmente, pero esta vez en lugar de solo contrarrestar y cubrir, Hizo girar a su oponente y fue duro en el ataque..

 

La tercera ronda ve a McGivern pelear contra Irán, lo que condujo a un gran boxeo técnico resultante de ambos protagonistas.

 

Las siguientes rondas se pelearon de manera similar.. La ronda final fue una guerra total.; Ambos boxeadores lanzaron la precaución al viento y se produjo una pelea total durante los últimos tres minutos. – que ronda tan estimulante.

 

Después de ocho fantásticas rondas de boxeo, Ben McGivern se declaró vencedor al anotar al árbitro Lee Murtagh., por una 79-74 margen de puntos.

 

Tengo que decirlo, aunque definitivamente es el resultado correcto, el resultado simplemente no transmite cuán cercanas son todas y cada una de las rondas, pero el primero, fue. Estos dos realmente hicieron un espectáculo magnífico y fueron un serio contendiente para el premio Fight of the Night.

 

Qué gran evento para dar la bienvenida al boxeo profesional de regreso a Clacton-on-Sea después de una pausa de casi ochenta años., un regreso claramente apreciado por los fanáticos de las artes pugilísticas que habían llenado el lugar histórico hasta la empuñadura casi una hora antes de que comenzara el evento.

"Mi jefe, Lee Holliday, hoy me informó que mi promotora, Don King, se ha comunicado con el equipo de Warren para hacer esta pelea. Tengo una actitud de "tengo cinturón y viajaré" y estoy listo para respaldarlo mañana si es necesario.

"No más lloriqueos por Billy Joe y sus excusas. Si quieres pelear en junio 23, luego ponte o cállate. Sino, entonces eres Billy Joe con diferentes excusas ".

Undefeated Puerto Rican Bantamweight Manny Rodriguez Ready for Former World Champion Paul Butler This Saturday at 02 Arena

Bantamweight contender Emmanuel “Manny” Rodriguez and his team have landed safely and ready to face former world champion Paul “Baby Faced Assassin” Butler for the vacant IBF World Championship, este sábado, Mayo 5, at the O2 Arena in London.

 

 

 

 

Presented by Matchroom Boxing, Rodríguez (17-0, 12 KOs), de Puerto Rico, and Butler (26-1, 14 KOs), 29, de Inglaterra, will meet in a 12-round supporting bout to the all-British rematch between former World Heavyweight Champions Tony Bellew (29-2-1, 19 KOs) and David Haye (28-3, 26 KOs).

 

 

 

 

Rodriguez almost had his very promising boxing career derailed for a time by an unfortunate car accident in which he burned 66% of his body. After a long rehab, he returned, and went on a, hasta ahora, 17-fight tear through the professional ranks.

 

 

 

The 25-year-old was the mandatory contender to face former champion Ryan Burnett, who chose to relinquish his belts. This allowed for Butler to slide into the fight for the unclaimed belt.

 

 

 

29-year-old Butler previously held the IBF belt, but before defending it, elected to drop down in weight to face then-champion Zolani Tete… and was stopped in the eighth round. He has won nine fights since.

 

 

 

“It has been a long road to this fight, but I am ready to win my first world championship,"Dijo Rodríguez. “Paul Butler is a good fighter, pero nada puede detenerme. I have worked too hard to get here. It doesn’t matter that we’re in his backyard. I’ve done everything right getting ready for this and I look forward to bringing the belt back to my beloved country of Puerto Rico.”

 

 

 

Rodriguez’ co-promoter, Leon Margules de Warriors Boxing, says a star will be born Saturday night.

 

 

 

“Manny has always been a superstar in the making. I am happy he is finally getting the chance to shine in front of a large audience, en todo el mundo. I have no doubt he will win impressively and set himself up for several big showdowns in the near future.”

 

 

 

 

BUTLER MEETS RODRIGUEZ FOR IBF WORLD TITLE ON MAY 5

 

AWE to Air Live Bellew v. Haye II, en sábado, 5 de mayo

 

 

The Highly Anticipated Rematch between Tony Bellew and David Haye to air Live and Exclusively on AWE

 

 

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. – Abril 12, 2018 -Paul Butler gets the chance to become two-time IBF World Bantamweight champion when he tackles undefeated Emmanuel Rodriguez at The O2 in London on May 5, live on AWE-A Wealth of Entertainment.

 

 

 

Butler’s clash with Rodriguez is part of a huge night of action in Greenwich as Heavyweight rivals Tony Bellew and David Haye clash in a hotly-anticipated rematch.

 

 

 

Butler landed the IBF strap in April 2014 by taking it from Stuart Hall in Newcastle before vacating the strap to move down to Super-Flyweight in March 2015 to challenge IBF champion Zolani Tete.

 

 

 

The ‘Baby Faced Assassinreturned to 118lbs and back into title contention when he comfortably saw off Hall in a rematch in Liverpool in September, and is rated at four in the IBF, one spot behind top-rated Rodriguez.

 

 

 

El invicto 25 year old visitor is hotly-rated having raced to 17-0 in the paid ranks with 12 wins inside the distance, a rise all the more impressive following an amateur background that was stunted by a car accident.

 

 

 

Rodriguez’s trip to London is his first outside the Americas since turning pro and his first over the championship distance, and Butler intends to make the trip a miserable one for the Puerto Rican and reclaim his title.

 

 

 

I’m very excited for this,” said Butler. “It’s the reason we came over to Eddie in the first place, I knew he would deliver the big fights for me. We’re just four weeks away. It’s a big test but I’m confident.

 

 

 

It’s an honor to contest the IBF title again. I want to win it back then hopefully defend which I didn’t have the chance to do last time.

 

 

 

It sounded a good idea at the time to vacate but looking back now I should have kept hold of the belt. I should have worked on my strength and conditioning, filled out and defended my title. I’ve definitely got some unfinished business with thisit would be brilliant to go out there and win it again.

 

 

 

It’s a tougher test the last time I won the title, but I’m up for the challenge. I’ve improved myself. He’s touted to be this next big superstar, but how many of them come over here and get turned on their heads?

 

 

 

I never used to look at my opponents, but since I’ve linked up with Joe he’s always sending me little clips. He looks a good kid, he likes to work at midrange but in truth I don’t want to say too much about what he does and doesn’t do well.

 

 

 

I don’t care how big and tough he iswe both have two arms, two legs, he’s from Puerto Rico and I’m from Ellesmere Port so let’s get it on. I can see this being a very good fight, we both like to go body to head, head to body but I’ll come out being the two-time IBF World Bantamweight champion.

 

 

 

Super-Middleweights John Ryder and Jamie Cox clash in a crucial clash in the 168lbs division and Martin J. Ward defends his European Super-Featherweight title against James Tennyson.

 

 

 

Expected start time is 3 PM ET / 12 PM PT.

 

The fight card will also be streamed live via KlowdTV on the AWE channel.
