ONTARIO, ZOALS. (Augustus 23, 2018) – Expect fireworks when former welterweight championBoosaardig” Victor Ortiz meets hard-hitting former title challenger John Molina Jr. op zondag, September 30 in the 12-round main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes live from Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Californië.

 

 

 

 

Uitgezonden dekking begint bij 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and will feature a stacked lineup of undercard attractions leading up to the action-packed main event.

 

 

 

Tickets voor het evenement, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Ringstar Sports, go on sale tomorrow, Augustus 24 bij 12 p.m. PT and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com.

 

 

 

Ortiz (32-6-3, 25 KO) is an all-action boxer-puncher who comes to fight and is always in exciting battles. The 31-year-old southpaw has one of the best resumes of anyone in the welterweight division having been in against Floyd Mayweather, Andre Berto twice, Lamont Peterson, Luis Collazo and Marcos Maidana. Ortiz, who was born in Garden City, Kansas and now lives in Ventura, Californië, is coming off a majority draw against Devon Alexander in February.

 

 

 

We’ve known each other a long time and we’re both always in exciting battles, so fans should expect nothing less on September 30,” Said Ortiz. “I had a broken eye socket from an injury in the second round of the Alexander fight, but I’m feeling 100 percent now. I’m ready to take what is rightfully mine, and that’s another world title down the road. It’s going to be a way from round one and I can’t wait.

 

 

 

Molina (30-7, 24 KO) has never backed down from a challenge and has been in the ring with some of the best boxers from lightweight to welterweight during his career. The 35-year-old from Covina, California beat a fierce Ruslan Provodnikov by unanimous decision in 2016. Another standout battle from Molina’s career saw him drop former welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse twice before losing on an 11th round knockout. In his last fight he scored a fourth round TKO victory over Ivan Redkach in a back-and-forth bout from December on FS1.

 

 

 

I respect Victor and everything he’s accomplished in this game, but I know that I have the tools to overcome everything he does,” Said Molina. “Everyone knows that I’m in it to win it. We’re both going to be ready to mix it up and throw bombs. There is no way that I see this fight going the distance. It’s going to come down to heart and I’m going to be there until final bell.

 

 

 

Victor Ortiz vs. John Molina Jr. has war written all over it and should be another in a long line of memorable battles featuring these Southern California fan-favorites,” zegt Richard Schaefer, Voorzitter en CEO van Ringstar Sports. “These two men are known for leaving it all in the ring and giving the fans incredible action from the opening bell. I have no doubt that this will be another outstanding showdown, with the winner setting themselves up for even bigger things in the star-studded welterweight division. We’re excited to bring this matchup, plus a jam-packed undercard, to the fans in Ontario and watching live on FS1 and FOX Deportes.

 

 

 

This is a true crossroads battle between two hardnosed veterans who have fought almost every welterweight of note in the last decade,” zei Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “The one thing you can be certain of when you get Victor Ortiz and John Molina Jr. in the ring is that a fight will break out. This match should be highly entertaining for the fans at Citizens Business Bank Arena and those who tune in on FS1 and FOX Deportes on September 30.

BETHLEHEM, PA. (Juni 28, 2017) – Miguel Cruz (16-0, 11 KO) verdiende een unaniem besluit om te verslaan Alex Martin (13-2, 5 KO) en bleef ongeslagen in een rematch tegen het weltergewicht die kopte Premier Boxing Champions TOE-tot-teen DINSDAG op FS1 enBoksen Champions op FOX Deportes Dinsdag nacht van het Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Vader.
Na het winnen van een split-decision tegen Martin in hun confrontatie in januari, Cruz hield zijn perfecte staat van dienst intact door twee knockdowns te scoren voordat hij de beslissing kreeg in hun wedstrijd van 10 ronden.
“Ik voelde me eerlijk gezegd niet zo goed in ons eerste gevecht en toen ik het opnieuw bekeek, Ik dacht dat Martin had gewonnen,” zei Cruz. “Dat zorgde ervoor dat ik steeds harder trainde dan ooit om te bewijzen dat ik de vaardigheden en kracht heb om op wereldniveau te concurreren, en ik denk dat ik dat gedaan heb vanavond.”
Cruz kende een snelle start door een enorme linkse hoek te landen die Martin ving en hem laat in de eerste ronde liet vallen. Martin was in staat om overeind te komen en te herstellen net voordat de bel klonk om de ronde te beëindigen.
Martin bleef proberen aan de binnenkant te werken, maar Cruz was vastbesloten om terug te duwen en landde consequent met grote krachtschoten. Een andere linkse hoek in ronde vier stuurde Martin weer naar de mat, hoewel hij minder getroffen leek dan tijdens de eerste knockdown.
“Ik vocht tegen zijn gevecht vanavond,” zegt Martin. “Ik heb gewoon niet mijn beste prestatie neergezet. De eerste knockdown was een echte knockdown, maar bij de tweede knockdown raakte hij me in mijn achterhoofd.”
Rond vijf zag Martin effectiever boksen, verschillende rechterhanden landen voordat een linkse hoek laag landde, Cruz naar het canvas sturen en ervoor zorgen dat scheidsrechter Gary Rosato het gevecht stopzet terwijl Cruz herstelt.
Toen de actie werd hervat, bleef Martin het tij van het gevecht keren. Zijn beweging was zeer effectief en zijn succes met de linkerhand was consistent gedurende de ronde vijf tot en met acht.
“Martin was superstoer,” zei Cruz. “Ik dacht niet dat hij de tweede ronde zou halen, maar hij bezorgde me zeker problemen. Ik probeerde hem te stoppen.”
Onderaan op de scorekaarten vanwege de vroege knockdowns, Martin's comeback-inspanning kwam te kort toen Cruz in staat was om Martin af te houden in de laatste twee rondes op weg naar de beslissing in de ogen van alle drie de juryleden door de score van 96-92.
“Ik wist dat ik weer in de strijd zou komen, maar ik verzin geen excuses vanavond,” zegt Martin. “Hij won het gevecht eerlijk en vierkant, felicitaties aan hem.”
“Ik trainde voor Martin alsof hij de wereldkampioen was en zo ga ik trainen voor elk gevecht in mijn carrière,” zei Cruz. “Het was een enorm gevecht, Ik ben blij dat ik de overwinning heb behaald. Ik wil gewoon terug naar Puerto Rico en mijn verjaardag vieren morgen.”
Extra actiezaag op televisie Clarence Booth (15-3, 8 KO) stop Puerto Rico's Anthony Mercado (10-3, 9 KO) in de vierde ronde van hun weltergewichtwedstrijd.
De grotere Mercado had al vroeg in het gevecht succes terwijl Booth probeerde zich een weg naar binnen te banen en het lichaam aan te vallen. Mercado landde een paar schone rechterhanden in elk van de eerste twee rondes die Booth leken te verdoven.
“Hij was een harde vechter,” zei Booth. “Ik moest loskomen voor de eerste paar rondes. Ik was in het begin gespannen.”
Vechten uit St.. Petersburg, Florida, Booth was in staat om de storm in de eerste twee rondes te doorstaan ​​en begon het tij te keren in ronde drie met een schone rechterhand die Mercado wankelde..
Booth hield de vaart erin en zette Mercado in de vierde ronde snel op het doek met een paar rechterhanden. Mercado was in staat om overeind te komen, maar uiteindelijk brak Booth weer door en verbaasde Mercado met meer rechterhanden. De laatste vlaag bracht scheidsrechter Eric Dali ertoe om de wedstrijd stop te zetten 1:30 in het vierde frame.
“Ik had een paar zware verliezen, maar nu ben ik aan een grote comeback,” zei Booth. “Ik ben zo blij met deze kans op televisie en ik heb er het beste van gemaakt. Mijn promotor Marshall Kauffman en King's Promotions zullen me in de toekomst geweldige kansen bieden.”
“Hij sloeg me met een goed schot,” zei Market. “Hij prikte en kwam met een rechterhand die ik niet zag aankomen. Ik zal nog beter terugkomen.”

Lewkowicz Congratulates ‘PilonLara for Smashing KO of Briones

Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz wishes to congratulate undefeated featherweight, Jorge “Stamper” Lara of Mexico, for his sensational stoppage of Mario Briones last Saturday night.
Fighting in the nationally televised semi-final bout in support of David Benavidez’s eighth-round KO over RogelioPorkyMedina at the Laredo Energy Arena in Laredo, Texas, Lara (29-0-2, 21 KO) returned in impressive fashion from a 13-month layoff to TKO his countryman Briones (28-6-2, 21 KO) in de derde ronde.
Snel, powerful and relentless, Lara, a 26-year-old southpaw from Guadalajara, dropped Briones twice in round two and then finished the job at 2:03.
The performance was particularly remarkable, considering Lara was coming off an extended layoff due to a hand injury suffered in his previous fight, a career-changing KO over multiple-time world champion Fernando Montiel, as well as a gunshot wound suffered in a botched robbery attempt in Mexico.
Lewkowicz says Lara will now be chasing the big game in his weight class, especially WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Russell Jr.
“Russell Jr. has talked about moving up in weight,” zei Lewkowicz, “Pilon Lara would love to get him in the ring first and send him on his way. He is too strong and powerful for anyone at the weight. This was the most-watched broadcast of PBC on FSN and the world now knows he is a star on the rise.
According to Lewkowicz, Lara was shaking off some ring rust while dominating the respectable Briones.

As good as he looked, he is even more frightening at this weight,” zei Lewkowicz. “Jorge Lara will destroy any champion or top contender he fights. We are now working on getting one of them in the ring, starting with Gary Russell Jr. Congratulations to my latest new star in boxing for his sensational performance.

LAREDO, TX (Mei 21, 2017) – Unbeaten rising contender David Benavidez (18-0, 17 KO) van Phoenix, Ariz. knocked out exciting former title challenger RogelioPorkyMedina (37-8, 31 KO) from San Luis Rio, Mexico in a super middleweight world title eliminator that headlined a special Zaterdag night edition of Premier Boxing Champions op FS1 en FOX Sports uit Laredo Energy Arena in Laredo, Texas.
The action-packed main event opened with several crowd-pleasing exchanges in the first pair of rounds. Round three offered more of the same as the rugged pair of pugilists went toe-to-toe giving and receiving each other’s best.
In de vierde ronde, Benavidez caught Medina with a left uppercut and then followed with a flurry that backed Medina up, but amazingly Medina stayed upright. Medina fought back and engaged Benavidez, but Benavidez landed a sensational seven-punch combination to close out the round.
At the end of round six, Benavidez damaged Medina with an onslaught of offense that buckled Medina into the ropes with referee Jon Shorle ruling it a knockdown. Medina survived the round, but only to eat another bombardment of punches and get dropped for a second time at the end of the seventh round due to a right uppercut to his solar plexus.
Round eight brought a close as Benavidez landed one final eight-punch combo that dropped Medina for a third time and caused Shorle to stop the action at 1:01 into the eighth round.
Benavidez said, “This is just a glimpse of what I can do. I’ve never fought a fighter that pushed me to the full extent like this. Porky Medina is a tremendous fighter. It took everything for me to knock him out, but it was an amazing fight.
Benavidez continued, “My biggest advantage tonight was my jab. I didn’t throw it as much as I would have liked, but just enough to set him up. I’m looking forward to getting back in the gym and coming back even stronger.
A disappointed Medina said, “I did my best tonight. The plan was to win, work him from beginning to end, but he moved a little bit more than I anticipated. (Benavidez) did his job and hit me with a few good shots. But I’m going to keep training for my shot at a title and hopefully it will come.
The win elevates Benavidez into the mandatory position to challenge for the vacant super middleweight world title that will go to the winner of the agreed to Anthony Dirrell vs. Callum Smith clash.
Benavidez concluded, “This makes me more humble and gives me more motivation to work harder. There has never been a super middleweight champion at 20-years old, but I’m going to be the first to do that.
Televised coverage kicked off with unbeaten featherweight contender Jorge Lara (29-0-2, 21 KO) van Guadalajara, Mexico defeating Mario Briones (28-6-2, 22 KO) from Aguascalientes, Mexico by third round knockout in their scheduled 10-round contest.
In de eerste ronde, Lara worked to establish an aggressive pace and punished Briones. The second round began with more of the same, Lara hitting Briones with punches in bunches. Briones was able to hold his ground initially, but a straight left with a little less than one minute remaining in the second frame sent Briones to the canvas. Lara then knocked Briones down for a second time with a wild right hand at the close of the round, but Briones quickly regained himself after time expired and was allowed to continue.
The third round opened with Lara mixing it up to the body before landing an overhand right that further dazed Briones. Lara, smelling blood in the water, swarmed Briones with a barrage of punches and forced referee Lee Rogers to stop the bout at :58 into the third.
Not resting on the win, Lara said, “I felt great to get back in the ring tonight. This was a fantastic win for me, but there are four champions out there in my division. I’m ready to fight whoever asks me out of those four belt holders.
The swing bout featured Austin Dulay (10-0, 7 KO) of Hermitage, Tenn. winning a unanimous decision (59-52, 59-52, 59-52) in a six-round junior lightweight fight against Jose Esquivel (10-6, 2 KO) from Laredo, Texas.
The final televised fight of the evening showcased Adam Lopez (7-0, 3 KO) van Glendale, Calif. verslaan Jordan White (4-1, 3 KO) of Landover, Md. met eenparigheid van stemmen (59-55,59-55, 60-54) in a six-round bantamweight bout.

Here is what Barrios had to say from training camp:
On fighting in his first main event on FS1:
Fighting in the main event on FS1, op de nationale televisie, is going to be an incredible blessing. I know it’ll be a tremendous boost to my career. I want to set the pace from the opening bell, and give the fans a night to remember. These are the type of fights I’ve always dreamed of.
On his recent training camp with Virgil Hunter in the Bay Area:
Training with Virgil Hunter has been great. This will be my third fight with him as the lead in my corner. We are working tremendously well as a team and I’m happy where my career is at. We got a lot of good sparring in, with a lot of different looks. I feel my punches are sharp and my timing is on point. I’m going to shine in this fight.
On his matchup with Nelson Lara
I really don’t know much about Nelson Lara, except for the fact that he’s coming off a couple of wins. I’m sure his confidence is high, so I’m expecting a tough fight. Ook, I know he’s fought at lightweight or super-lightweight for most of his career, so he’s got more experience fighting at this weight. One thing for sure isI’ll be ready for anything he brings to the ring.
On moving up two weight classes
It’s hard to believe, but I started off my career at super-bantamweight while standing six feet plus. It was getting to make those smaller weights. I was killing myself to make super featherweight, so my team and I felt it was best to skip lightweight, and move to super-lightweight. It’s a big jump, but I feel real strong at this weight. This is where I want to make my run toward a world title, at super lightweight. You’ll see a stronger Mario Barrios.
On fighting in Mississippi
I actually fought out here early in my career but at a different venue. The fans are great and they get loud. A lively crowd is always fun to fight in front of. I plan on giving the Mississippi fans a great night of boxing.

The younger brother of undefeated Jose Benavidez, David has racked up a perfect 17 wins in 17 starts at just 20-years-old. Fighting out of Phoenix, Benavidez picked up four victories via stoppage in 2015 and continued with four more in 2016 including blasting out previously unbeaten Francy Ntetu in June and tough contender Denis Douglin in August. Meest recent, Benavidez began his 2017 campaign with a second-round destruction of Sherali Mamajonov in January.
Medina is a hard-hitting veteran with 31 knockouts in zijn 37 career wins. His biggest win to date was a shocking third round knockout of then unbeaten J’Leon Love in 2014 and last year he exceeded expectations by giving world champion James DeGale all he could handle in a 12-round matchup before ultimately dropping a decision. Prior to DeGale, the 28-year-old had suffered six losses in 42 gevechten, although those defeats came against opponents with a combined record of 187-16-3, including four previously undefeated fighters.
An unbeaten fighter out of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, Lara is undefeated since turning pro in 2010 and winning his first four fights by knockout. The 26-year-old made his U.S. debuut in 2015 with a first round stoppage of veteran Mario Macias. His last outing saw Lara step up in competition against former multiple division world champion Fernando Montiel, who Lara knocked down four times before stopping in the first round.
Briones enters this fight coming off of a first round stoppage of Jose Emanuel Vargas last year, which followed up a durable performance against then unbeaten Miguel Flores that saw the fighter out of Aguascalientes, Mexico drop a 10-round decision. That bout served as the U.S. debut for the veteran fighter who turned pro in 2009 and was unbeaten in his first 21 pro gevechten. The 31-year-old has fought in five countries throughout his pro career.
