Met uitsonderlike krag en sublieme tegniese vaardighede, Ortiz (32-2, 27 Uitklophoue) is al jare 'n wedstryd bo-op swaargewigranglys, met sy enigste nederlae in onvergeetlike kompetisies teen die voormalige jarelange swaargewigkampioen Deontay Wilder. Gebore in Camaguey, Kuba en opgelei deur jarelange afrigter Herman Caicedo in Miami, Ortiz het drie gevegte tussen Wilder-kompetisies gewen, Travis Kauffman te verslaan, Christian Hammer en Razvan Cojanu. Voor daardie hardloop, Ortiz het oorwinnings oor mense soos Bryant Jennings behaal, Tony Thompson en Malik Scott om sy swaargewig-cv op te bou. Mees onlangs, Ortiz het Alexander Flores in die eerste ronde van hul November uitgeblaas 2020 einde.

“Ek kan nie wag om my aanhangers in Suid-Florida 'n wonderlike vertoning op Nuwejaarsdag te gee en nog 'n kans op die swaargewigtitel te verdien nie,” Said Ortiz. “Charles Martin is 'n goeie vegter, maar hy staan ​​in my pad. Die enigste ding in my gedagtes is om in die ring te kom en 'n groot stelling in hierdie stryd te maak om weer te wys hoekom ek deur die swaargewigafdeling gevrees word.”

Die 35-jarige Martin (28-2-1, 25 Uitklophoue) het in Januarie swaargewigkampioen geword 2016 toe hy met TKO gewen het teen destyds onoorwonne Vyacheslav Glazkov. Nadat hy sy titel aan Anthony Joshua verloor het, Martin het vyf van sy laaste ses gevegte gewen, met al sy oorwinnings wat binne die verte kom. Oorspronklik van St. Louis, woon nou in Las Vegas en oefen tans in Suid-Kalifornië saam met Manny Robles, Martin het teruggekeer na 'n nederlaag met 'n noue beslissing na Adam Kownacki in 2018 om drie agtereenvolgende oorwinnings te behaal, insluitend die mees onlangse uitklophou van Gerald Washington in Februarie 2020.

“Niemand wil teen my veg nie en niemand wil met Ortiz veg nie, so ons sal mekaar baklei,” sê Martin. “Ek gaan Januarie vir die wêreld wys 1 hoekom ek 'n titelskoot verdien. Ek het my ledegeld betaal en ek wil my gordel terughê. Om Ortiz te klop, gaan my 'n stap nader aan daardie doelwit bring. Om twee keer swaargewigkampioen te word, Ek moet eers verby Ortiz kom, so dit is presies wat ek gaan doen.”

'n Amateur-uitblinker uit sy geboorteland Kuba, Sánchez (19-0, 13 Uitklophoue) oefen nou in San Diego saam met die topafrigter Eddy Reynoso. Die 29-jarige het besig gebly met sy styging op die swaargewigranglys, drie oorwinnings behaal in 2020 aangesien hy 'n eenparige besluit oor Joey Dawejko verdien en Brian Howard en Julian Fernandez gestop het. Sanchez het mees onlangs 'n loopbaanbeste oorwinning in Oktober behaal, voorheen onoorwonne Efe Ajagba laat val op pad na 'n eenparige besluitoorwinning.

“Ek is bly om so gou terug te wees nadat ek Agjaba geklop het, maar die werk begin eers,” Said Sanchez. “Daar is baie meer om te doen. Ek glo ek sal die eerste swaargewigkampioen in Kubaanse geskiedenis wees. Negron is 'n sterk, gevaarlike teenstander. Ek sal my beste moet wees, maar ek is vol vertroue dat ek as oorwinnaars sal uitkom. Ek glo in my span, en my span glo in my. Ons sal die nuwe jaar begin 20-0, bly besig en maak 'n sterk argument vir 'n wêreldtitel teen jaareinde.”

Die 2008 Puerto Ricaanse Olimpiese Negron (25-3, 20 Uitklophoue) ry 'n wenreeks van vyf gevegte in Januarie 1, insluitend vier oorwinnings deur onderbreking. Die 34-jarige het teruggekeer van nederlae teen Dominic Breazeale en Brian Howard om sy wenreeks saam te stel, wat 'n Maart insluit 2020 uitklophou oor voorheen onoorwonne Robert Alfonso. Negron het sedertdien professioneel geveg 2009 en woon nou in Miami waar hy saam met Luis Ortiz oefen.

“Dit is 'n wonderlike geleentheid vir my om 'n sterk opkomende vegter te wen en vir almal te wys waartoe ek in staat is,” het Negron gesê. “Ek oefen hard en ek het goeie sparring gehad om gereed te wees vir enigiets wat Sanchez gaan bring. My ervaring en voorbereiding gaan die verskil wees. Ek is uiters gemotiveerd om die ondersteuners 'n groot stryd te gee en myself in posisie te plaas om 'n wêreldtitelgeleentheid te kry.”

Gebore in Suid-Carolina en veg nou uit Los Angeles, Rys (14-6-1, 10 Uitklophoue) sal probeer om 'n loopbaan-beste vertoning in die herontmoeting teen Coffie te herhaal, nadat hy die voorheen onoorwonne vegter in die vyfde ronde in Julie gestuit het. Rice het ses van sewe gevegte van gewen 2018 deur 2019 voor 'n paar verliese in 2020 teen die destydse onoorwonne Efe Ajagba en Demsey McKean. In 'n professionele loopbaan wat dateer uit 2014, die vlekke op Rice se rekords het almal teen voorheen onoorwonne vegters gekom.

“In my laaste geveg teen Coffie, Ek het daar ingegaan om myself te bewys en te doen waarvoor ek geoefen het,” sê Rice. “Dit was sink of swem, en ek het bo uitgekom. Nou moet ek Januarie daar uitgaan 1 en wys dat dit nie 'n gelukskoot was nie. Dit is 'n wonderlike stadium vir my om my talente te wys en te bewys dat ek tot groot dinge in staat is. Ek wil die aanhangers 'n goeie vertoning gee en ek weet dat Coffie dieselfde doen. Moenie hierdie geveg misloop nie.”

Koffie (12-1, 9 Uitklophoue) hoop om terug te bons van sy eerste loopbaannederlaag nadat hy die eerste wedstryd teen Rice in Julie laat vaar het. ’n Marine Corps-veteraan wat boks opgetel het nadat hy van oorsee teruggekeer het, Coffie het vinnig genoeg beïndruk in amateurtoernooie om sparringopdragte met Deontay Wilder en Adam Kownacki te verdien. Hy is in die Bronx gebore, maar treine nou in Orlando, Florida en deurgebreek in 2020 met drie oorheersende stopoorwinnings, insluitend uitklophoue oor voorheen onoorwonne teenstanders Darmani Rock en Luis Pena.

“Ek wil dit terugkry en dit 'n werklike stryd maak hierdie keer teen Jonny Rice,” sê Coffie. "Verlede tyd, Ek was in 'n posisie waar ek teëspoed ondervind het, en ek moes 'n besluit neem om deur te gaan met die geveg. Ek weet dat ek deur teëspoed kan veg, en op Januarie 1, Ek sal gereed wees vir watter kant toe die stryd ook al gaan. op Januarie 1, daar sal 'n geveg wees.”

Washington (20-4-1, 13 Uitklophoue) is 'n ses voet-ses swaargewig-aanspraakmaker wat 'n voormalige universiteitsvoetbaluitblinker aan die Universiteit van Suid-Kalifornië en 'n VSA was. Vloot-veteraan. Gebore in San Jose, Kalifornië, Washington het onlangs in Februarie 'n wedstryd teen die voormalige swaargewigkampioen Charles Martin verloor 2020. Voor daardie geveg, Washington het in Julie 'n uitklophou van die veteraan-aanspraakmaker Robert Helenius gelewer 2019. Washington was onoorwonne in sy eerste 19 pro-gevegte voordat hy sy wêreldtitel-uitdaging in Februarie aan Deontay Wilder laat vaar het 2017.

“Ek sien uit daarna om op 1 Januarie terug te stap in die ring,” gesê Washington. “Ek is gereed om te gaan werk en myself weer in posisie te kry vir 'n paar groot gevegte. My ondervinding gaan om die verskil in hierdie stryd wees. Dit gaan 'n wonderlike aand van swaargewigaksie wees!”

A 2016 Olimpiese Spele vir Turkye, Demirezen (14-1, 11 Uitklophoue) het uit Hamburg geveg, Duitsland in die professionele geledere sedert hy laat pro word 2016. Die 31-jarige het sy eerste gewen 11 pro gevegte, insluitend 'n tweede ronde onderbreking van Rad Rashid om 'n Europese swaargewigtitel te verower 2018. Demirezen het sy enigste ander U.S. begin in 2019, toe hy die eerste persoon geword het om die afstand teen Efe Ajagba te gaan, verloor deur besluit. Sedert daardie nederlaag, Demirezen het drie agtereenvolgende oorwinnings behaal, mees onlangs stop Nikola Milacic in Maart.

"Ek het baie geleer uit my verlies teen Ajagba en ek sien daarna uit om nog 'n kans te kry om in die VSA te boks," sê Demirezen. “Ek is steeds kwaad oor die Ajagba-geveg, want ek weet dat ek kon wen. Ek wil nou wys dat ek op hierdie verhoog hoort. Ek is trots om in hierdie posisie te wees om te wys wat ek kan doen en ek gaan die geleentheid ten beste benut.”

Die 29-jarige Faust (8-0, 6 Uitklophoue) het in Februarie pro geword 2020 na 'n uitgebreide amateurloopbaan wat uit sy geboorteland Svitlovodsk geveg het, Oekraïne. Faust het sy eerste vier teenstanders uitgestof, voor die oorheersende ses en agt ronde beslissings gewen het. Na 'n eerste ronde uitklophou oor voorheen onoorwonne Jacek Piatek in Mei, Faust het sy V.S. debuut in Oktober, Mike Marshall twee keer laat val op pad na 'n derde ronde TKO-oorwinning.

“Ek is baie opgewonde om terug te veg in die VSA. weer op 1 Januarie,” het Faust gesê. “Ek is hartlik verwelkom en om aan die staat te veg voel al soos my sitkamer. Ek hou van die atmosfeer. Dit is 'n wonderlike kans om myself te wys op hierdie betaal-per-kyk-program teen 'n baie hoë gehalte teenstander. Ek sal nie aanhangers teleurstel wanneer ek die ring instap nie.”

Kiladze (27-5-1, 19 Uitklophoue) het in September teruggekeer na die wenkolom, met 'n uitklopoorwinning oor Mathew McKinney. Sedert hy voltyds in die staat begin veg het 2017, Kiladze se verliese het teen die top-swaargewigte Adam Kownacki gekom, Michael Hunter, Efe Ajagba en Joe Joyce, wat 'n gekombineerde sport gehad het 45-1 rekord op pad na hul wedstryde teen Kiladze. Oorspronklik van Georgia en veg nou uit Los Angeles, Kiladze besit 'n 2019 gelykop teen destyds onoorwonne Robert Alfonso en ses agtereenvolgende gevegte tussenin gewen 2014 en 2018.

“Ek sal gereed wees op vegaand en ek sal gefokus wees,” het Kiladze gesê. “Ek is dankbaar vir die geleentheid en hard oefen om ’n goeie vertoning te lewer en die ring met ’n oorwinning te verlaat.”

BROOKLYN (Maart 7, 2020) – Robert Helenius (30-3, 19 Uitklophoue)scored an upset victory over previously unbeaten Adam Kownacki (20-1, 15 Uitklophoue) by stopping him in the fourth round of a WBA Heavyweight Title Eliminator headlining FOX PBC Fight Night and on FOX Deportes Saturday night from Barclays Center, die huis van BROOKLYN boks ™.

“I want to thank everyone who gave me this opportunity,” said Helenius. “Kownacki is a tough fighter. I worked hard in training camp and it paid off.”

Brooklyn’s Kownacki was fighting for the 10ste time at Barclays Center in front of his hometown crowd, but was unable to keep the taller Helenius off of him after being hurt early in the fourth. A clean Helenius right hook hurt Kownacki, before a left hook put Kownacki down.

“I knew that I hit him hard and I knew I just had to continue,” said Helenius. “I knew he was still hurt after that punch.

“Kownacki just kept coming and coming. He’s a good fighter I have to give it to him. My strength is to punch back when people come at me. It was a good fight and a tremendous opportunity for me to be here.”

While Kownacki outpaced Helenius landing 84 stoot om 49 according to CompuBox, it was Helenius’ 12 power punches landed in round four that made the difference. Helenius kept up the relentless attack, consistently hurting Kownacki and pushing him around the ring until referee David Fields waived off the fight 1:08 in die ronde.

“Dit was nie my nag,” gesê Kownacki. “It’s boxing. It’s a tough sport and things just didn’t go my way tonight. It was a learning experience and I’m going to go back to the drawing board and get back to work.

“He hit me with a good shot. I knew what was going on, but I’m just upset with myself. It is what it is.”

Watch fight highlights hier en hier.

In die mede-hoofren, swaargewig sensasie Rene Tellez Giron (13-0, 11 Uitklophoue) delivered a ninth-round stoppage of Razvan Cojanu (17-7, 9 Uitklophoue), knocking him down twice en route to the victory.

Ajagba showed the prolific power that has made him a highly-regarded heavyweight nearing a jump from prospect to contender. Cojanu came to fight and had success at various points in the action, landing hooks on Ajagba and slowing down his attack in the early rounds.

In round eight Ajagba’s offensive arsenal began to break through, as Cojanu’s left eye started to swell before eventually closing. Late in round eight, Ajagba connected on a powerful straight right hand that forced Cojanu to take a knee. Watch the knockdown hier.

“Ronnie told me to attack the body behind the jab,” said Ajagba. “It was very effective and it started to slow him down. When he got close to me, I knew to throw more and punish him.

“Cojanu has a lot of experience. When I threw my jab, he used his right hand to block my vision, so I couldn’t throw as many combinations as I wanted. It was a good challenge.”

While Cojanu was able to make it through the round, Ajagba continued to press forward in round nine, punishing Cojanu with power shots. On the night, Ajagba out landed Cojanu in power shots by a 176 te 81 marge. A flurry by Ajagba late in the round forced Cojanu down again, and prompted referee Ron Lipton to halt the bout 2:46 in die ronde. Watch the stoppage hier. Additional highlights can be viewed hier.

“It’s up to my team who we fight next, but I want hard fights,” said Ajagba. “My team has a plan and we’ll keep following it.”

In die TV-opener, rising heavyweight Frank Sanchez (15-0, 11 Uitklophoue) scored a 10-round unanimous decision over Joey Dawejko (20-8-4, 11 Uitklophoue) to remain unbeaten.

“I was well prepared and I thought I fought very well tonight,” Said Sanchez. “I dominated the fight. I showed good footwork and movement and did exactly what we worked on. I expected a lot of pressure, but with my boxing ability, there was no way he was going to catch me.”

The Cuban fighter dominated with his movement, rarely being flustered by Dawejko’s attack as he bounded around the ring and avoided the incoming Philadelphia native. Sanchez was also superior in punch output and accuracy, out throwing Dawejko 352 te 242 and out landing him by a 116 te 46 marge.

“I knew he was going to fight on the outside and he stayed on the outside,” Said Dawejko. “Not much to say, he just did what he had to do. He was scared that’s why he was running around. He kept jumping back and staying away, so I guess he made it easy on the judges.”

Sanchez was able to punch open a cut on Dawejko’s right eye in round five, which he continued to batter throughout the remainder of the fight with jabs and right hands. Na 10 rondes, all three judges saw the bout in favor of Sanchez, met tellings van 100-90 twee keer en 98-92.

“I didn’t want to fight Dawejko’s fight, and he realized that and it frustrated him,” Said Sanchez. “He might have thought he’s faced guys like me, but there’s no other heavyweight like me.”

Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from the Tillary Hotel in Brooklyn:

ADAM Kownacka

“I love fighting here in Brooklyn at Barclays Center. It’s almost half my career that I’ve fought in that ring, so it’s definitely my second home.

“Fighting for a shot at the title is truly motivating. I know this is a big fight for Robert as well and he’s trained hard, but my title opportunity is right around the corner. I could have waited, but I decided to take on this big test. I’m going to show off why I’m ready to fight for the title soon.

“It’s truly amazing to see the Polish fans on fight night. I was an Andrew Golota fan and Tomasz Adamek after that. Now I’m trying to be the next motivation for young Polish kids. I want to show them that they can make it. I kept making the right decisions and now I’m right there so close to a title shot. Robert is in my way and I have to beat him to get where I want.

“I love hearing the fans yelling on fight night and that definitely gives me extra energy and motivation to fight in the later rounds.

“I’m looking for a spectacular knockout. I want to show why I’m one of the best heavyweights in the world. I have to take care of business.

“It’s truly amazing to have fans all over the world come to share this night with me. It’s an honor to have this following. It’s breathtaking really. I’d tell them to continue on this journey with toward becoming heavyweight world champion.

“This is a very friendly press conference, there’s a lot of respect between these fighters. I can tell that everyone is ready to put on a great show for the fans on Saturday.”

ROBERT HELENIUS

“I have an opportunity to make a great fight Saturday and that’s what I trained for. I’m ready and I had a great training camp. I can’t wait to get into the ring.

“This fight we came two weeks earlier to the U.S. My body has gotten used to the difference. Meer, the sparring in Alabama at Deontay Wilder’s gym really helped get me ready.

“We’re doing everything right and training has been great. We’ve sparred so many rounds, I feel very sharp and ready to get into the ring against Kownacki.

“I have a lot of fans in Europe and that support is why I can even do this and compete on this level. Everything has been so perfect coming into training camp. It makes me feel more confident than I have in many years.

“I trained for years with a broken hand and have had injuries in the past. But the last two years I’ve been healthy and with the same trainer and I feel physically as good as I ever have.”

EFE AJAGBA

“I’m excited to be on this great show full of heavyweights. I’m looking forward to Saturday night. I thank my opponent for taking this challenge. He’s a good fighter and we’re looking forward to give you a great fight.

“In the Iago Kiladze fight I had him hurt and tried to finish him, but I went too wild and left my guard down. That’s why he landed a shot and knocked me down. I felt okay when I got up and I came back and finished him off.

“It’s up to Cojanu how the fight goes. We’ll find out if he can take my punch or not on Saturday. We’ll see in the ring if he’s got a hard chin.

“Cojanu has a lot of good experience against good fighters. He’s going to try to box me, but if he can’t take my power, then I’ll be able to win the fight by knockout. If he can take it, I will be ready to win a decision.”

RAZVAN COJANU

“Efe is a fighter I respect a lot. He’s a great prospect. But I’m ready for him. I feel very confident in myself. I had a great six-week training camp. Everyone who supported me, I’m going to make them proud on Saturday.

“For this fight I got the chance to work with Henry Tillman and it’s made a huge difference in my game. I know the coach can’t fight for me, but I believe in his plan and his judgement. He knows how I can beat Efe Ajagba and Saturday night you’re going to see me shock the world.

“People think Efe has already won the fight, maar ek voel goed. There’s no pressure on my shoulders. I have nothing to lose. I believe in karma and I believe it’s my time for my moment to come this Saturday.

“I’m very happy to be fighting on FOX for the first time. Best of luck to all of the fighters to come through healthy and give the fans a great performance all night.”

FRANK SANCHEZ

“I’m very excited for this great opportunity to fight on this big PBC card. Saturday is going to be a great fight and you can expect a great performance from me.

“I wish Joey luck on Saturday, but not too much luck. I’m going to demonstrate that I’m one of the best heavyweights in the world.

“He’s not knocking out anybody. With my defense and movement, he’s not going to be able to hurt me. I have everything I need to dominate this fight.

“No one he’s ever fought is like me. He’s going to be shocked when I deliver a tremendous knockout on Saturday night. I’ll see you in the ring on Saturday.”

JOEY DAWEJKO

“I want to thank everyone who helped me get this opportunity. I have an opportunity to be great again. I know a little about Frank Sanchez. I know they’re moving him fast, but I think they took the wrong fight. They should have waited a couple more fights for me and I’m going to prove it.

“I am in great shape and I had a great camp with my trainer Justin Fortune. I can’t wait to get in there and give everyone a great fight.

“Experience will play a big part in this fight. I had a great amateur career and I’ve fought all around the world. I’ve sparred with every champion right now and it’s all going to help.

“Frank is a good fighter, but he’s not ready for me. He’s going to try to box me, but I’m going to be too much. I’m predicting a knockout. He’s going to be in for a big shock. He doesn’t have anything I haven’t already seen before.”

KEITH SHELDON, EVP of Programming & Development for BSE Global

“Soos ons almal weet, BROOKLYN BOXING is at its best when he we have heavyweights in the ring and this card has no shortage of them.

“Adam, you built your career at Barclays Center and we’re thrilled to see you headline for the second time. With nine wins there, it’s safe to say Barclays Center is your second home. We’re excited for you to put on a show for your hometown fans.

“Barclays Center continues to show to the world our steadfast commitment to the sport. This is our second PBC fight this year and the third in the last four months. This further demonstrates our commitment to our boxing program and the sport in general.

“Our partnership with PBC consistently brings great fights to our market and Saturday night is no exception. I’d also like to thank FOX. At Barclays Center we pride ourselves on being in the big event business, and there’s nothing bigger than a primetime heavyweight fight on FOX.”

Kownacki (20-0, 15 Uitklophoue) is noted for his tenacity and has been progressing towards a world title shot with knockouts in five of his last seven fights. The 30-year-old Kownacki, who was born in Lomza, Poland and moved to Brooklyn when he was seven, was an accomplished amateur in New York City before turning pro. He most recently bested veteran contender Chris Arreola in an action-packed fight on FOX in Augustus. His previous two fights had seen him score an impressive unanimous decision victory over former world champion Charles Martin in 2018 and a devastating knockout victory against Gerald Washington in January 2019 op FOX. This will be his fifth straight and tenth overall fight at Barclays Center, where he has routinely brought out the area’s passionate Polish sports fans.

“It’s great to be fighting in Barclays Center for the tenth time,” gesê Kownacki. “The last nine bouts ended in victory for me, and March 7 won’t be any different. I’m happy that FOX is showcasing the fight on free television like it was back in the old days, and with the action my fights bring, it’s definitely must-watch TV. I know Helenius will be looking to pull an upset and take my place in the rankings, but I won’t let that happen. I’m already in camp with my trainers Keith Trimble and Chris Carlsen getting ready. Na hierdie stryd, I want the winner of Wilder vs. Fury II.”

A winner in three of his last four fights, Helenius (29-3, 18 Uitklophoue) will fight in the U.S. for the second time on March 7, after establishing himself as one of Europe’s top heavyweights for several years. Born in Sweden and fighting out of Mariehamn, Finland, Helenius knocked out Erkan Teper in September 2018 to rise up the rankings before dropping his U.S. debut to Gerald Washington in July 2019. Prior to the Washington fight, the 36-year-old had won six of his last seven fights, with his lone blemish coming against Dillian Whyte. He most recently stopped Mateus Roberto Osorio in November 2019.

“This is the fight I have been waiting for,” said Helenius. “All of the years of training and fighting will pay off when we fight on March 7. Kownacki is about to feel the strength of Thor’s hammer. I respect him for taking this fight, but he chose the wrong opponent. This is not going to be a fight; dit gaan 'n oorlog te wees. I will be the last man standing.”

Nigeria’s Ajagba (12-0, 10 Uitklophoue) has increased his opposition in his recent fights and passed those tests by getting off the canvas to stop Iago Kiladze in December and defeating fellow 2016 Olympian Ali Eren Demirezen by 10-round unanimous decision in July, both on FOX. The 25-year-old Ajagba gained widespread notoriety in August 2018 when his opponent, Curtis Harper, walked out of the ring after touching gloves to start the first round. Ajagba won the fight without throwing a punch as Harper was disqualified. Living in Stafford, Texas and training with Ronnie Shields, Ajagba will make his 2020 debut and third career appearance at Barclays Center on March 7, after four victories in 2019.

A former amateur standout from Cuba, Sánchez (14-0, 11 Uitklophoue) now lives in Miami, trains in San Diego with Eddy Reynoso and is unbeaten since turning pro in 2017. The 27-year-old scored knockouts in his first six pro fights, and picked up nine victories in 2018. In 2019 he added four more triumphs, including three stoppages and his first 10-round victory when he bested Jack Mulowayi in October to win by unanimous decision.

Dawejko (29-7-4, 11 Uitklophoue) has been tested against a slew of tough contenders in his career that dates back to 2009. Veg uit Philadelphia, he has crossed paths with perennial contenders while establishing himself in the heavyweight division. The 29-year-old most recently defeated Rodney Hernandez in July.

READING, Pa. – Oktober, 27, 2019 – Top super welterweight contender Erickson Lubin continued his resurgence with a dominant 10-round unanimous decision victory over Nathaniel Gallimore Saturday night on SHOWTIME from Santander Arena in Reading, Pa.

Lubin (22-1, 16 Uitklophoue) won his fourth straight fight since a knockout loss to Jermell Charlo in a title challenge in 2017. The 24-year-old landed 42 percent of his power shots en route to the wide decision, behaal 99-91 by all three judges.

The southpaw relied on a suburb left hook, attacking from a variety of angles against the durable Gallimore (21-4-1, 17 Uitklophoue) as he improved to 4-0 since beginning to train with southpaw specialist Kevin Cunningham.

“I had a tremendous training camp thanks to Kevin Cunningham,” Lubin said. “At first we had Terrell Gausha but he fell out due to his injury. I appreciate Gallimore for stepping up to the plate. He gave me a tough fight and I appreciate it. We gave the fans what they wanted. I measured him. I just timed him and I was able to land my power shots.

“Kevin is a real strict trainer and he’s a southpaw specialist. We’re just improving our game every camp. I definitely want Jermell Charlo again. My goal is to get revenge.”

Cunningham was pleased with his pupil, who was pushed past the fifth round for the first time in more than three years.
“He’s always been a hell of a fighter and I just wanted to fine tune and refine the skill set,” Cunningham said. “He can do everything that you can teach. He’s the total package. He’s got power, he’s got speed, he’s got footwork. He’s more than a brawler. He’s a skillful fighter with power.

“He’s ready for all the top guys in the division. The guys with belts are what he wants.”

Former lightweight world champion Robert Paasfees, Jr. was victorious in his debut at super lightweight, winning a unanimous decision over Adrian Granados in an all-action fight scored 97-93, 98-92, 100-90.

Easter (22-1-1 14 Uitklophoue), who lost his lightweight title in a unification with Mikey Garcia in 2018, was matched for his first fight a super lightweight against one of boxing’s most aggressive, come-forward fighters and the result did not disappoint. Granados charged forward from the opening bell, pressing on the inside against his rangy, 5-foot-11 opponent. In the first half of the fight, Easter pocketed rounds while fighting from a distance, leaning on his speed to win the first four rounds on all three judges’ telkaarte. But the fight seemed to change tides at the midway point, with Granados able to force the bout to be contested at close range. Rounds seven through 10 featured tremendous, back-and-forth exchanges and the more active Granados seemed to get the better of the exchanges.

The fighters combined to throw 1,815 combined total punches and 1,379 combined power punches across 12 rondes.

“We knew he was going to be a hell of a warrior in there,” Easter said. “That’s what we train for. This was no ordinary opponent and we knew he was going to bring it. I wasn’t surprised because that’s what he does. You’ve seen him fight with the best of the best and he threw down. I knew he was going to throw punches in bunches.

“This was a hell of a test for me at 140 and I felt strong. I’m not calling out anybody specifically, but you know there are champions in this weight class and I’m coming for all the belts. Line ’em up.”

One of boxing’s most reliable action fighters, Granados (20-8-2, 13 Uitklophoue) threw more punches and connected more and was once again frustrated with a decision that did not go his way.

“Ek is sprakeloos. I felt like I won the fight,” Granados said. “That 100 te 90? Come on now.

“I’m tired of the same old story. It was clear that I controlled the fight. He never had me hurt. That was embarrassing.

“I can’t control the judging. It’s very frustrating. I have a dream to be a world champion and it just seems like it’s not cutting out for me. But I have the heart of a champion and I’m not giving up.”

In die opening bout van die beeldsending, undefeated Cuban heavyweight Frank Sanchezpitched a shutout against Jack Mulowayi, winning a 10-round unanimous decision scored 100-90 by all three judges.

Sanchez (14-0, 11 Uitklophoue) was the more active fighter from the opening bell, targeting the body against the defensive-minded Mulowayi (7-2-1, 3 Uitklophoue). The 27-year-old Sanchez, who was taken the 10-round distance for the first time, threw over 250 more punches than his opponent.

“My opponent didn’t really want to fight, he just wanted to fight dirty,” Sanchez said. “So all I could do was give him some lateral movement. It’s difficult when someone doesn’t want to engage. We wanted to touch him down, touch him up high. But once he got touched, the guy just tried to tie up.

“There was no problem going 10 rondes. I’m in great shape and I’m ready to fight again as soon as possible. I showed my technical superiority tonight. All the heavyweights better watch out.”

Two-time super featherweight world champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis was interviewed during Saturday’s telecast as he continues to train for his lightweight debut December 28 on SHOWTIME from State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The explosive Davis, who will fight Yuriorkis Gamboa for the WBA Lightweight World Championship, continued to call out the top fighters when he spoke with host Brian Custer.

“I’ve heard all these guys calling me out, I don’t want to sound cocky, but I am the cash cow at this weight class,” Davis said. “Me and Leo Santa Cruz are going to fight in 2020.”

Saturday’s SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION tripleheader will replay on Monday at 10 namiddag. ET / PT op SHOWTIME EXTREME.

An industry leading production team and announce crew delivered all the sights, sounds and drama from Santander 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 two-division world champion Paulie Malignaggi. Three Hall of Famers rounded out the SHOWTIME telecast team – Emmy® bekroonde verslaggewer Jim Gray, unofficial ringside scorer Steve Farhood and world-renowned ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. The Executive Producer of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION was David Dinkins, Jr. and the Director was Bob Dunphy.
