Sebastian Fundora Outpoints Sergio Garcia in Co-Main Event; Carlos Adames Defeats Sergiy Derevyanchenko in an Exciting Fight, and Eduardo Ramirez Dominates Miguel Marriaga in SHOWTIME PPV Undercard Action 點擊 這裡for Photos from Ryan Hafey / 總理拳擊冠軍
LOS ANGELES (十二月 5, 2021) –Boxing superstar and five-time world champion Gervonta“坦克”戴維斯put his boxing skills on display, winning a rousing 12-round round unanimous decision over the relentless艾薩克“比特犬”克魯茲to retain his WBA Lightweight World Title in front of a star-studded, sellout crowd of 15,850 at STAPLES Center live on SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View, 由總理拳擊冠軍呈現事件.
Scorecards read 116-112 和兩個分數 115-113, all for Davis.
賽場上氣氛熱烈, 眾多現任和前任 NBA 球星出席, 包括“魔術師”埃爾文·約翰遜, 科懷·倫納德, 德懷特·霍華德, 肯尼史密斯, 凱文·加內特和保羅·皮爾斯等人.
由超級明星說唱歌手 Lil Durk 伴奏, 戴維斯身著湖人紫金配色上場; 褲身上的流蘇兩側各有已故科比·布萊恩特的號碼“8”和“24”. 當克魯茲大步走向擂台時，身後有一支墨西哥流浪樂隊，慶祝他的墨西哥血統.
一開始沒有試探過程. 克魯茲衝向衛冕冠軍, 將他按在繩索上，嚎啕大哭.
“這就是我的風格. 「比特犬」總是會發動攻擊,“克魯茲說. “I think we retained rhythm from the start to the end.”
Davis found his rhythm in the second and third, circling the ring and walking Cruz into shots. 在第四, Cruz concentrated his attack on the body, pounding Davis’ ribs.
The 27-year-old Baltimore native turned on the power in the fourth, alternating between the right hook and left cross behind his southpaw stance. More punishing blows came from Davis during the fifth.
“He’s a shorter fighter, so I was throwing down on the top of his head,“戴維斯說. “I hit him with my knuckle and messed it up. I hurt my hand in the sixth round. No matter if the opponent is taller or shorter, I’ve got to get through it. 他是一個戰士. Even though he didn’t win, a star was born tonight.”
“It was right around the fifth round I saw that his hand wasn’t working correctly,” Cruz observed.
Davis boxed beautifully in the middle rounds, firing quick shots and pivoting away from the return fire. A right hook in the eighth briefly buzzed Cruz and brought the audience to their feet. But just when it appeared as if the fight was slipping away, Cruz fought fire with fire, landing a flush uppercut seconds before the bell.
The 23-year-old Mexican picked up the pace in the latter rounds, keeping Davis on his toes and pounding away. Davis held his own, fighting back on even terms until the fight’s end.
自然, Cruz believed he deserved the victory.
“Viva Mexico. I have nothing to say, the fans are speaking on who won this fight,“他說，.
Following a successful title defense, Davis said he’s ready for all comers.
“L.A., we did it for Kobe,“戴維斯說. “At the beginning of the fight, he came on strong. I felt as the fight was going, he was breaking down. But I hurt my hand, so I wasn’t able to get him out of there.
“Whatever the best opportunity is for me, I’ll do it. All of them guys are easy work. I’m the top dog.”
在合作的主要事件, Sebastian “Towering Inferno” Fundoramoved closer to a world title shot with a 12-round unanimous decision over the previously-unbeatenSergio Garciain a WBC Super Welterweight Title Eliminator.
Final scores read 118-110, 117-111 和 115-113.
Fundora established control quickly in the first, snapping Spain’s Garcia’s head back with a booming left. The two traded evenly through the early rounds. Garcia had his moments, including a sharp overhand right in the fifth that drew blood from Fundora’s nose.
The 23-year-old Fundora found his range in the sixth, pumping the jab and using his 6-foot-5 frame and 80-inch reach to keep Garcia at bay.
“I was using my distance a lot more. I wanted to display something different than what I’m used to,“豐多拉說. “Height was definitely a difference in this fight.”
Garcia struggled to land during the second half of the bout, save for a couple moments in the 12日when the two combatants stood toe-to-toe.
“Maybe things could have been different if I had been more aggressive from the beginning,”加西亞說. “I shouldn’t have let myself get carried away by what he was doing.”
Fundora believes he’s ready for a world title shot.
“We just beat the No. 2 在WBC, so we have No.1, and we have the champion,“豐多拉說. “Whoever they give us next, we’re ready for.”
In a thrilling back and forth, Carlos Adames (21-1, 16 科斯) overcame a stiff challenge from former world title challenger謝爾蓋Derevyanchenko (13-4, 10 科斯) to win a 10-round majority decision in their WBC Middleweight World Title Eliminator.
Both combatants had their moments, but facing the toughest opponent of his career, the 27-year-old Adames shined. One judge scored the middleweight bout even at 95-95, while the other two scored it for Adames by scores of 96-94 和 97-93.
“This means a lot for me in my career and this is a big accomplishment winning against a fighter of his caliber,” said Adames, who was born in the Dominican Republic and fights out of Washington Heights in New York City.
“I am aggressive and speedy by nature, so I came in ready to do my thing. He started slow, wanting to see what would happen, and simply had the wrong game plan. He got a bit tired as the fight went on, took a lot of hard shots from me and it was evident that I caused him a lot of damage.”
“I expect my opponent to fight the same style. It was nothing special for me, just a quality fight,“Derevyanchenko說.
“He stayed southpaw, that was the difference in the fight. I don’t know what I’ll do next. I need a little bit of rest and then I will go back to the gym because I love boxing and I love the show.”
“This gives me an opportunity to move on,” said Adames. “I dominate at both 154 和 160, so wherever they give me the opportunity to fight for a championship is where I’ll go.”
“I would like to thank the fans, SHOWTIME and the Montiel family for supporting me. Marriaga was a tough opponent, but I managed to dominate,” said Ramirez. “I had a varied fighting style and kept him on his toes the whole time.”
「現在我要和家人一起放鬆並享受假期,” said Ramirez. 「那麼希望 2022 將為我帶來一張標題照片。”

LOS ANGELES (十一月 3, 2021) – 不敗的五屆世界冠軍和拳擊界最熱門的景點Gervonta“坦克”戴維斯 將捍衛他的WBA輕量級冠軍頭銜艾薩克「比特犬」克魯茲 星期日, 十二月 5 live on SHOWTIME PPV from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in a Premier Boxing Champions event.
十字, 排名第. 2 在國際羽聯, steps in to replace Rolando Romero.
Davis’ third-straight pay-per-view headlining attraction will see him battle the hardnosed Cruz, who has rightly earned the nickname “Pitbull’’ during his professional career.
“This is going to be a tremendous fight on SHOWTIME PPV,”倫納德·埃勒比（Leonard Ellerbe）說, 梅威瑟促銷的CEO. “Isaac Cruz was ready for this big opportunity and I expect him to come ready to deliver the fight of his life. 然而, Gervonta Davis is a generational talent who’s only getting better. This fight is going to end in spectacular fashion on December 5.”
“Kudos to Isaac Cruz for stepping in as a replacement opponent in a high-pressure, pay per view fight against one of the brightest stars in boxing in Gervonta Davis,’’ said Tom Brown, TGB促銷總統. “Cruz presents a different, and some would argue a more difficult challenge to Tank Davis. Cruz won’t back down and he’ll bring the fight to Davis from the opening bell. We’ve all seen Gervonta’s blend of superb boxing skills and explosive power, and we know what he’s capable of. It will be the irresistible force versus the immovable object, which means fireworks at STAPLES Center and on SHOWTIME PPV on Sunday, December 5.’’
戴維斯 (25-0, 24 科斯), star of the Mayweather Promotions stable, added another highlight filled performance in June, 他擊敗了此前保持不敗的馬裡奧·巴里奧斯 (Mario Barrios)，奪得了 140 磅級的冠軍，並成為三個級別的世界冠軍。這位巴爾的摩本地人以一記輕量級冠軍得主 12日-12 月淘汰賽前冠軍 Yuriorkis Gamboa 2019.
23歲的克魯茲 (22-1-1, 15 科斯) 如果戴維斯想贏得勝利，他將尋求對戴維斯進行粗暴對待並讓他加班。墨西哥城人, 克魯茲在輕量級排名中飆升 2020, announcing his presence with an electrifying first-round knockout over veteran Diego Magdaleno in September. 克魯茲緊隨其後 2021 by winning a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Matías Romero in March, and most recently defeating former champion Francisco Vargas by decision in June. Since making his U.S. 12月出道 2019, the 23-year-old has gone unbeaten in his next four ring appearances, appearing on SHOWTIME three times in addition to beating Magdaleno on the Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz SHOWTIME PPV 底牌.
“First I want to thank Gervonta Davis and his team for this opportunity – an opportunity I won’t let get past me,’’ Cruz said. “God willing I’ll be world champion on December 5. This fight is a very big motivation for me as a professional and as a personal goal. I’m sure after December 5 拳擊界的每個人都會知道艾薩克·‘比特犬’·克魯茲這個名字。 」

The event will mark Davis’ return to Southern California after he knocked out Hugo Ruiz in the first round in front of a sold-out crowd in February 2019.
Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from City View Terrace at STAPLES Center:
GERVONTA DAVIS
“I’m thankful to be here to give the fans another great fight. 這是我們做什麼. ‘Rolly’ is just here to talk. He’s trying to talk his way into winning, but he’s scared. 我來打.
“They only talk about his power, 但是這是拳擊. His skills are not up to par with mine. He can’t even talk about power, because everyone knows I’m bringing it. You can shoot bullets, but how are you going to defend yourself when the bullets are shot back?
“He’s been talking for a long time. He’s trying to sell a fight, but I’m going to show him that he’s a chump on December 5. 我不是來說話的, 我在這裡打. I don’t take this personally. 對我來說，, this isn’t beef, this is business.
“I was on a mission when I fought Jose Pedraza for the title. I didn’t do the trash talking. I went in there and proved that I’m a top guy. This guy is just here to talk. I’m going to do the talking in the ring on December 5.
“His trainer isn’t working on anything but power. They aren’t working on any skills. He hasn’t fought anybody like me and he’s going to see the difference.
“I’ve never once turned down any fight. I’m not scared of anybody. I’m going to fight everybody. I’ll fight a heavyweight. This is nothing to me. I’ve survived a lot of stuff.
“He’s supposed to come here and sell the fight. I’m supposed to win. I’d rather punish him for 12 rounds than knock him out quick. Part of me wants to humble him, but the most important thing to do is just go out there and get the job done.
“This fight is for the fans. The fans are winning December 5. Make sure you come out and support. I’m thankful to be in this position. It’s all about my team and those people who have put me in a great position.”
ROLANDO ROMERO
「每個人都會看到十二月 5, 我要把 Gervonta 打暈. I hope you hear that.
“I’ve been calling ‘Tank’ out since 2017. We were supposed to spar in 2018 and he didn’t show up to the gym. He did that twice because he knew he was getting beat. 十二月 5, you’re getting knocked out.
“This is just who I am. This is how I was born. I came into this sport at 17-years-old and I’ve made the most out of what I’ve done. Everybody come watch me knock him out on December 5.
“He’s got such a big head, it’s going to be hard to miss it. He gets touched up by every opponent he faces. Leo Santa Cruz was beating him up and Barrios was getting to him too.
“He wants to run out of the ring whenever he gets hit. It happens in sparring and in the amateurs. I was the one who had to force this fight, because I’ve seen for years that he’s a chump. He’s made a career out of beating up 126-pounders.
“He doesn’t know half the stuff that I’ve seen and been through. I’m here to knock him out in the ring. He’s arrogant and tries to act like he’s tough, but I’m knocking him out.
“Manny Pacquiao has an awkward style too, and look at everything he’s accomplished. Just because I fight differently, does that mean I don’t have skills? I have my own skills and they’ve gotten me this far.
“I’m not going into the ring angry, I’m just focused.”
梅威瑟, 梅威瑟促銷總統
“These are two great fighters. And when I say great, I mean that every time they go out there, they produce. ‘Tank’ is a young kid from Baltimore who had a dream. He’s been through a lot. He fought his way to the top. You have to commend him for that. 不管別人怎麼說, he earned his stripes.
“I believe ‘Tank’ is one of the best fighters in the world. ‘Rolly’ says he wants to fight the best. Come December 5, 這將是一個戰鬥的地獄.
“’Rolly’ is tough. He’ll fight anybody and that eagerness makes this an intriguing matchup. ‘Rolly’ just wants to prove he’s the best. He’s also a hell of a puncher. Every time we presented an opponent to him, he’s accepted every one of them.
“’Tank’ is doing record-breaking numbers. I always told him it would come in due time. I told him that the same way I sell out arenas, you’re going to do the same thing one day. He had patience and that’s what we’re doing.
“These guys are the future of boxing. I don’t see this fight going the distance. Two undefeated knockout artists. Two champions. 十二月 5, I’ll see everyone there.”
CALVIN FORD, Davis’ Co-Trainer
“I hope you keep up this talking ‘Rolly.’ We’ll see who’s still going to be talking at the end of the night on December 5.
“Romero has an awkward style, but the beauty of having two coaches with ‘Tank,’ is that there’s nothing we aren’t ready for.
“Having Barry Hunter be a part of the camp has helped calm ‘Tank’ down in many ways. I think everyone will see the beauty of us working together in this fight.
“I don’t train ‘Tank’ for knockouts. I train him to go the distance. He can get you from round 1 到 12. So you better stay sharp.”
巴里·亨特, Davis’ Co-Trainer
“Everyone knows what we’re coming to do. I have mad respect for the other side. Bring your A-game, because we’re definitely going to bring ours.
“We’re born for stuff like this right here. Like everyone said, there’s no way this fight goes the distance.
“Everybody is working hard to be at their best, because we don’t want any excuses after it’s over with. I have faith in Gervonta. I know what he’s going to do.”
BULLET CROMWELL, Romero’s Trainer
“I know what everybody is saying about who the champ is coming into this, but the champ wasn’t born a champ, he had to rise too. Just like a young lion, ‘Rolly’ is ready to rise.
“I’m an L.A. 傢伙. When we come back here, we’re fighting for a legacy. It’s not just a belt and money.
“I told ‘Rolly’ that Gervonta Davis is standing in the way of changing your family and your legacy. We got a job to do.
“I don’t care about pure boxing or any style. I took karate, street-fighting and boxing, and I put it all together. Combined with a puncher with ‘Rolly’s’ power, and with his grind and grit, it’s a perfect match.
“I have a lot of respect for ‘Tank’ and his team. 他是一個偉大的戰士, but Rolly is next up. He’s going to be the new WBA champion on December 5.”
LEONARD ELLERBE, 梅威瑟促銷的CEO
“We’re excited to bring this huge event to Los Angeles at STAPLES Center on Sunday, 十二月 5. This is a tremendous matchup and the fans should be excited. There’s a lot of buzz already and tickets are going fast.
“These fighters truly despise each other. It’s rare you see that in boxing. 在 2019, me and Floyd were at the Errol Spence Jr. VS. Mikey Garcia and we were talking and all of a sudden Davis and Romero were ready to go at it at ringside. 佛洛伊德告訴他們他們可以在拳擊場上做到這一點, 現在我們在這裡.
「有兩個像這樣力量巨大的拳擊手, there’s no way this fight doesn’t end in a knockout. Tune in December 5 and expect someone to get knocked out.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President of SHOWTIME Sports
“For SHOWTIME Sports, 2021 has been one of the strongest years on record. We have delivered a total of 42 事件, half of which ended in knockouts. 12月 5, I expect this won’t go the distance, 或, with these two hard hitters.
“Week after week, year after year, SHOWTIME continues to be the standard of this sport. No one in combat sports is putting on better, or more meaningful fights than us.
“As we enter Gervonta’s 11日fight with SHOWTIME, he has never been down, and he has continued to shine. When other fighters are talking, ‘Tank’ is fighting and selling out arenas.
“’Rolly’ has also never been downed as a pro. He is a hard hitter and is one of the best talents in boxing, and he will be the first to tell you.”

亞特蘭大 (六月 27, 2021) – Gervonta “Tank” Davis, one of the biggest stars in all of boxing, put on a career-defining performance Saturday night live on SHOWTIME PPV from the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta, scoring a scintillating 11日round TKO over the previously-undefeated馬里奧·巴里奧斯 to capture the WBA Super Lightweight Championship in the action-packed Premier Boxing Champions event. 觀看停工 這裡.
“I made it tough. I definitely could have made it easier but I went up two weight classes and I got the job done,” said the 26-year-old Baltimore native, who was headlining his second SHOWTIME PPV. “I hit him with some clean shots, but I’m the type of fighter that wants to catch you with clean shots. I don’t just want to throw any type of shot. The shots I was throwing were missing, but eventually I caught up with him.”
In a fight that lived up to its potential, 戴維斯 (25-0, 24 科斯) and Barrios (26-1, 17 科斯) combined to put on an unforgettable main event in front of a sold-out crowd of 16,570. 戴維斯在開局緩慢的四輪比賽中僅落地 11 拳, 比賽從第五輪開始就產生了煙火. 在第八輪比賽中, 《坦克車》生涯中第一次、第二次將「阿茲特克」搬上畫布. 第一, 戴維斯一記橫掃右勾拳，將這位前冠軍擊倒在地. 過了一會兒, 戴維斯左手直拳再次擊倒巴里奧斯. 勇敢的巴里奧斯站了起來, 在第八局戴維斯試圖終結他的嘗試中倖存.
國際拳擊名人堂成員兼發起人弗洛伊德·梅威瑟鼓勵戴維斯站在他的一邊, 左撇子在第十一回合恢復活力, 意識到記分卡上的戰鬥可能很接近. 「坦克」在戰鬥中第三次擊倒巴里奧斯, this time with a left uppercut to the body. The bloodied Barrios rose again, only to be greeted with another barrage of punches from Davis. Referee Thomas Taylor stepped in to stop the fight at 2:13 of the eleventh round.
“I knew for sure if I catch him, I’m crackin,” Davis told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray. “So I caught him, 的，它顯示. My coach was telling me to go to a jab style but I’m a southpaw so they know I’m going to that jab side. So I would try and bait him in. I faked like I was going left, and I threw my right. And my hook over top, and that’s where I caught him.”
In the final six-and-a-half rounds, Davis landed 85 拳. 他降落 45 他的權力拳％的 (82/182), while Barrios more than held his own, out-landing Davis in six of the ten completed rounds.
“I knew he was hurt. 我只需要在正確的時間抓住他,」戴維斯繼續說道. 「佛洛伊德 [梅威瑟] 來找我，很誠實地說我很沮喪,」戴維斯繼續說道, 在停賽時，誰在所有三名裁判的記分卡上實際上都領先. 「所以他說『讓我看看你很棒。』你知道我們在狗窩裡是怎麼做到的, 嬰兒!”
「我只是遵循了比賽計劃,」25歲的盧賓說, 誰改進到 6-0 since suffering the only loss of his career to 154-pound kingpin Jermell Charlo. “I would just go back to my corner after each round and Coach [凱文·] Cunningham and my team would just say, ‘Stick to the jab. Stay consistent with your jab.’ I’m way faster than him and I knew he had good power and he was trying to counter me. So I would fade him out and use my jab consistently.”
在第三輪, Lubin nearly put an early end to the action with a huge frame that had Rosario on the back foot. In the closing moments of the round, Lubin landed a right hook that had Rosario wobbling back to his corner after the bell rang. Miraculously, in the next round, Rosario was able to recover and completely turned the tables, wobbling Lubin with a left jab.
The action turned up even more in the sixth round. 魯賓, sensing that Rosario was susceptible to the body attack, landed a vicious left-right body combination that sent Rosario to his knees in what ultimately proved to be the turning point of the fight. 玫瑰園, clearly hurt, was never able to recover and Lubin finished him off moments later against the ropes.
“I started to hurt him in the body as soon as the first round started,” the 2016 “Prospect Of The Year” Lubin said. “I started with the body and I saw him grunt. So I was able to hurt him to the body. I just wanted to distract him with the jab, then go downstairs. And I was able to get him out. I knew even if he got up after the knockdown that the fight was over. I know I’m a great finisher and I knew I was going to get him out of there as soon as I saw him drop.”
Lubin landed 44 他的權力拳％的 (80/288) 和 20 of his landed punches were to the body. 同贏, Lubin puts himself squarely in the picture for a second world title opportunity.
“I want a shot at the world title next,“他說，. “I want everyone at 154 英鎊. I’m No. 1 in the WBC but I chose to fight Rosario. I don’t duck anybody. I want to say that I fought everyone in my division when I win the world title.”
“現在, I feel so bad,” said Rosario. “There is no lesson to be learned yet, everything is so raw still. I lost again, and it’s so frustrating. I was convinced I was going to win. The fight started to turn in the second round. I was just trying to keep up and listen to my corner. Lubin is a great fighter. He deserved to win. I hope he enjoys his victory.”
On the biggest stage of his career, Dominican Republic’sCarlos Adames(20-1, 16 科斯) rose to the occasion, scoring a highlight-reel third-round knockout over the streakingAlexis Salazar(23-4, 9 科斯) in the second fight of the pay-per-view. 停工的時間為 2:59 第三輪. Watch the KO這裡.
In the eventful and decisive third round, referee Jim Korb deducted two points from Adames for excessive holding. 然而, Adames made certain that the point deduction would have no impact on the fight’s result. He dropped Salazar with a lead left hook flush on the chin, a punch that Salazar never saw coming. The 25-year-old Mexican was able to get back to his feet, 但當薩拉查明顯無法繼續比賽時，科爾布要求暫停.
「我開始感覺 (受傷) 在第二輪和第三輪,” said a disappointed Mendez. “My knuckles were broken and I couldn’t throw a punch anymore after I cut him with my right hand in the first round. I tried to keep fighting from the fourth round on, 但無濟於事. It was useless.”
同贏, Akhmedov keeps himself in the running for top fights in the deep 140-pound division. Mendez drops to 2-4-2 in last eight fights.

“[鄰里] 是一位年輕的冠軍. 我要提升兩個重量級來面對他. 如果他們在此之後不尊重我, I don’t know what I have to do. It’s pretty cool. This is actually the first time I’m fighting at this weight class. Whatever opportunities they give me at 135, 或 140, I’ll take them.”
馬里奧·巴里奧斯
“This is all brand new, but I’m taking it all in and excited to be in Atlanta. I’m just excited to go out there on Saturday and give everybody a great fight.
“No doubt about it, Tank is by far the toughest test for another title defense and I’m going to do whatever it takes to be successful on Saturday. There’s going to be fireworks on Saturday.
“This is a huge opportunity and I’m very excited for this chance. This is a very winnable fight for me, regardless of what everyone has been saying. I’m just excited to be back in the ring and in Atlanta.
“I think it’s not going to be until we both get in the ring that people realize how much size I really have for 140 英鎊. 不知何故, he’s still the favorite although he’s the challenger in this fight. I just take that as more motivation for me.
“Height-wise, 達到. Those are the major advantages. I’m just as dangerous as he is. And just as explosive and just as fast. And I will show that on fight night.
“When they came to me, I said let’s do it but I was like, ‘I’m not going down to 135,’ and they said, ‘Nah, he’s going to come up.’ And I said, ‘Even better.’
“I’ve seen him fight plenty of times. He’s a great fighter and he’s been very successful at the lower weight divisions against the smaller opponents. But this is a different fight for him.
“I didn’t take too much from the Leo Santa Cruz fight. 我覺得 [Gervonta] fought him the way he did because he didn’t respect Santa Cruz’s power. But with our fight he’s going to have no choice and he’s not going to fight me the way he fought Santa Cruz. Whatever he does fight night, I’m going to have to adapt.
“I’ve been boxing just as long as he has and I have an excellent boxing IQ, just as he has. It only takes one punch to change a fight, and he definitely has that one punch. But I’ll find out if that power carries over to 140 英鎊“。
ERICKSON LUBIN “We always work hard. 每個營都很艱難. 只是這次我們加長了一點. 自從我上次比賽以來，我們一直在努力，我很高興能出去展示我的才華.
