WEST PALM BEACH, FL. (Uztailaren 19, 2018) – IBF Lightweight World ChampionRobert Pazko Jr.. has made the most of his inaugural training camp with Kevin Cunningham and will look to bring that same level of focus to the ring when he challenges WBC Lightweight World ChampionMikey Garcia Larunbata, Uztailaren 28 live on SHOWTIME from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
“I decided to go to Florida for a different environment than I usually trained in,” said Easter, a Toledo-native who had trained in his hometown for much of his pro career. “I needed to be taken out of my comfort zone. At home, I was focused on too many other things. Coming to West Palm Beach has allowed me to focus on nothing but myself and boxing.”
Easter saw what Cunningham had done for his close friends Adrien Broner and Gervonta Davis, who both trained with Cunningham leading into April 21 fights on SHOWTIME that saw Broner battle to an entertaining draw against Jessie Vargas and Davis capture a second world title with a spectacular knockout of Jesus Cuellar.
“I was with Adrien Broner and Gervonta Davis every step of the way during training camp with Kevin Cunningham earlier this year,” said Easter. “I saw for myself that it was something I needed to do. I talked with my dad about getting away from the distractions and we agreed this was the right move.”
Easter burst onto the scene in 2016 with a dominant knockout of former champion Argenis Mendez before beating Richard Commey later that year in an entertaining battle to capture the lightweight belt. Easter’s last two defenses however have seen him narrowly escape with decision victories, something the unbeaten champion believes won’t be a factor on July 28.
“People are paying attention to my last couple of fights when I wasn’t using my height and reach,” said Easter. “I can improve on that by taking it back to what I had been doing before. I was knocking people out fight after fight.
“If you’re looking at just my last two fights, you aren’t giving me credit for everything I bring to the table. I faced two tough southpaws recently but on July 28 I’m going to show everyone what they’ve been sleeping on and why I’m a world champion.”
The 27-year-old Easter will now step up to take on one of boxing’s pound-for-pound best in four-division world champion Mikey Garcia. For Easter, this is a fight that he’s had on his mind and one that can put him into the top echelon of the sport.
“I’ve always wanted to fight the best in my weight class and now I have my chance to unify,” said Easter. “I know that Mikey is going to fight his fight and look to counter. He wants to wait for you to make a mistake so he can take advantage.
“What I have to do is go in there and impose my attributes on him. My height and reach are my advantages, but also my speed and power. I just have to combine all that and focus on my footwork.”
Although Easter will be fighting in Garcia’s hometown of Los Angeles, he has no plans to let the partisan crowd effect his focus as he looks for his biggest pro win in the same building where he made his professional debut.
“It doesn’t matter to me where we fight,” said Easter. “None of the fans can help him fight. It’s only about me and him in that ring together.
“My first pro fight was at STAPLES Center and even though it was early on an undercard, I still felt like there were 10,000 fans watching me. I just fought my fight. It’s all about staying focused. There will be no excuses on July 28.”

Auzoak (21-0, 13 Kos) made the leap from campaigning at 130-pounds to the super lightweight division in December 2016 and has stayed busy while knocking out increasingly difficult opposition as he nears world title contention.
Here is what the 23-year-old Barrios had to say about his July 28 matchup and more from training camp in Northern California with Virgil Hunter:
On his fight against Jose Roman:
“Roman is a very dangerous fighter with a good record. He’s a tall fighter like myself, so that will be a different challenge for me to overcome.
“There is no doubt he will be my toughest opponent to date. These are the kind of difficult fights I need to win and win convincingly to get to the championship level. I’m going in there on mission July 28 and I’m going to prove I’m ready for a title shot.
“I know he’s motivated going into this fight since he’ll be fighting near his hometown. I’m just going to stick to my game plan and focus on what I must do, and that’s throw hard punches with precise accuracy.”
On his current knockout streak:
“Since I’ve move up to super-lightweight, my body has adjusted to the weight gain, and I’m feeling stronger than I ever have. I’m still growing into my man strength and my power is growing as well. I never go into a fight looking for the knockout, but if I get my opponent hurt, I promise I’ll be looking to take him out.”
On his training camp for this bout:
“I’ve had a tremendous training camp. For the first few weeks I was training in San Antonio at the South Park Boxing Gym with my dad and Rick Nunez laying the groundwork for what we wanted to accomplish.
“Then I finished it off in up in Northern California with Virgil Hunter, who will be guiding my corner. Together we all make a fantastic team. I’ve had tremendous sparring for this fight, my health is good and I’m ready to go.”
On making his SHOWTIME debut:
“I’m really excited to be making my debut on SHOWTIME debut on this card. I always knew I would be fighting on the big stage at some point in my career. Now it’s time to show the world what I’m made of. I’m very grateful to my team for giving me this opportunity.”

LarunbateanLondresko etxetik Cardiff hiri ederrera mendebaldera egin nuen bidaia, Owen Watkinsek Ice Arena Gales-en sustatutako ekitaldirako..
Hari Miles eta Dorian Darch-en arteko Welsh Heavyweight title-en arteko aurreikusten zen ekitaldiaren buru izan zen., World Boxing Fundazioarentzat (WBF) Pisu Astunen Europako Txapelketa. Hala ere, borroka atzeratu egin behar izan zen, Darchek ezin izan baitzuen parte hartu aste batzuk lehenago beste ekitaldi batean izandako borroka baten ondorioz jaso zuen etenaldiagatik..
Oztopo hau izan arren, Owen Watkins-ek ikuskizunak jarraitu behar zuela erabaki zuen eta ni pozik nago aukera hori egin zuelako., aurreikusitako kartelean goi mailako afizionatu batzuk agertzen zirenez, euren debut profesionalak egiten ikusteko irrikitan egon naiz.
Lehenengoa Carl Thomas-ek Kyle McNicholas-en aurka estreinatzea izan zen, lau txandako Pisu Astunen Lehiaketa batean.
Bi mutilak oso ondo hasi ziren euren boxeorako gaitasuna erakusten.
Txanda aurrera joan ahala Thomasek presioa areagotu zuen, McNicholas soketara babestu eta Liverpudlian gorputzean eta buruan jaurtitzen uzten hasi zen..
Erronda azken minutura aurrera egin ahala Thomasek buruko pitzadura bat lurreratu zuen eta McNicholas muinraino astindu zuen., Thomasek ezkerrera jarraitu zuen gorputzera ia berehala jarraitu zuen McNicholas mihisera bidali zuen ezker handi batekin..
Harrigarria bada ere, McNicholasek egin zuen kontaketa, Merseyside-n gogorrak hazten dituztela ziur, beheko saihetsetik beherako gorputz zital bat baitzen, ez duzu ikusten jendea horren atzetik altxatzen den sarritan.
Berrabiarazteko Thomas zuzenean itzuli zen erasora, lehenik kolpe zurrun bat jaurtiz gero, gorputzean ezkerreko beste ziztada bat eta buruan eskuineko bikoitza..
Tomasek presioari eutsi zion, McNicholas piperkatuz gorputz-buruaren konbinazio gaizto batekin eta ondoren beste kolpe zurrun batekin McNicholas izkina neutro batera babesteko, gorputzari ezker kako sentsaziozko batekin erauzi aurretik, bidali duenaMcNicholas bigarren aldiz jaitsi da.
Roger Riley epaileak zenbaketa hasi zuen eta zortzi puntura iritsi zenean McNicholas arrakastarik gabe igotzen saiatzen hasi zen., epaileari borroka astintzea beste aukerarik ez utziz, txirrina jo zuenean, lehen itzuliaren amaiera adierazteko.
Pozik nago McNicholas ondo zegoela eta handik gutxira zutik jarri zela esanez.
Borroka berezi honi buruzko nire azken gogoetak hauek dira; beharbada txanda bakarra iraun zuen, baina a zer nolako txanda izan zen.
Hurrengoan, ikusi Kacper Dudzinski-k bere profesional debuta egiten Belfasteko Michael Kellyren aurka lau txandako pisu super welter lehiaketan.
Hasieratik Dudzinski bere jab indartsuaren atzean jarri zen eta prozedurak kontrolatzen hasi zen esku bizkorrekin eta jab bikoitz zurrunekin..
Kelly ez da katilua, Ez luze baten jaurtiketa, etortzen diren bezain jakintsua da, baina berak ere defentsako jarrera hartu eta pazientziaz edozein aukeraren zain egon behar izan zuen, lerdenak izan arren, kontra egiteko, egia esan, gutxi ziren.
Dudzinski serioski inpresionatu zuen Kellyren aurka eta etorkizun zoragarria du kirolean.
Bere debuta izan zitekeen, baina bere jardunean oinarritutalarunbateanGau, benetako tituluaren aurkari ohi baten aurka, Uste dut gailurrera joango dela eta merezi duela ere, Dudzinskik ia lau roundetan egin zuen moduan Kelly atzeko oinean mantendu dezakeena zerbait berezia da zalantzarik gabe..
Ez nazazu gaizki ulertu Kellyk jaurtiketa zintzo batzuk atera zituen, baina Dudzinskiren eskuaren abiadura ikaragarri azkarrak eta defentsa bikainak aukera horiek gutxienera mantendu zituzten..
Kellyren ukitu polita azken txandan berandu, «Matrix style» erreakzio mugimendu bati jarraituz, horrek ia galarazi zion eskularru bat behera ukitzea, ordea, bere haserrerako Chris Kelly epailearen zenbaketa jaso zuen, Kellyk bere eskularruak mihisea ukitzea saihestu zuela sinetsita zegoen arren, baina han gelditu eta protesta egin beharrean behera jaitsi eta flexioak egiten hasi zen zenbaketa osoan zehar bere gaitzespena erakusteko, jendetzaren gozamenerako askoz.
Lau txanda bikainen ostean, ez zen harritzekoa Dudzinski izan zela eskua altxatu zuena. – emaitza ofizialak erakutsi zuen Dudzinskik bere maiden pro garaipena lortu zuela a 40-35 puntu marjina.
Hurrengoa Ben McGivern-en aurka Ben Hough izan zen Cruiserweight lau txandako lehiaketan.
Zer borroka bat, McGivern-ek batez ere prozedurak burutzen ditu, Hough atzeko oinean behartuz baita sokak ere lehen ahapaldiaren zati on baterako. Nahiz eta aurreneko zati handi batean defentsan egon zitekeen baina aukerak sortu zirenean ederki hartu zituen.
Ia buelta osoa izan zen Bigarren txandan, Hough borroka kontrolarekin eta McGivern atzeko oinean jarriz, eta sokak, eskoziarrak lehen itzulia zuzentzeko moduaren antzera.
Hirugarren ahapaldia askoz estuago borrokatua izan zen, hainbeste kostatu zitzaidan horiek banatzea, puntu jakintsu.
Laugarrena gutxi gorabehera hirugarrena amaitu ahala hasi zen, bi protagonistekin mailua eta pintza, baina Erronda aurrera egin ahala McGivernek nahikoa areagotu zuen txanda ziurtatzeko, baina baita garaipena ere.
Ekintza guztien lau txanda sentsazionalen ostean, goian eman nuen bezala, McGivern izan zen garaile atera zena, Roger Riley epaileak lehia bikaina lortu zuen 39-37 eskoziarraren alde.
Borrokaren ostean bi boxeolariek errebantxa bat adostu zuten, fidagarriki jakinarazi didatenez, litekeena da Liverpoolen gertatuko delaIrailaren 8an– jarri data zure egunkarian hau inork galdu behar ez duen borroka da!
Gaueko azkenaurreko borroka Blackwood ikusi, Hego Gales’ Liam Preece versus oso, oso berandu ordezkoa Pentrefoelas, Ipar Gales’ Steffan Hughes gales osoko lehiaketa batean.
Zein kortxoa izan zen borroka hau, ekintza osoko thriller bat izan zen hasieratik amaierara arte.
Preece-k pisu desabantaila handia zuela kontuan hartuta, benetan alde egin zuen, borroka bere esperientziadunengana eramanez, eta astunagoa, Aurkari.
Preece-k konfiantzaz boxeatu zuen erasoan ez ezik, Hughesek jaurtitako exozet zehatzen aurka defenditzean ere..
Preece ikusgarria izan zen osoan, eta ziur nago Ice Arena Galesko inor ez zuela harritu Chris Kelly epailearen puntuazio-txartela irakurri zutenean. 40-36 puntuko garaipena South Wales Ladrentzat.
Gaueko azken pro borrokak Port Talbot-eko Levi Griffiths afizionatu ohia baloratu zuen Scott McIntyre Liverpool-en aurka..
Griffiths oso txukuna da, gazte dotorea ondo hasi zen eta jaurtiketa latz batzuk atera zituen, horrek McIntyre "B planera" hasieran aldatzera behartu zuen barnean mantendu nahian, galestarrak bere jaurtiketa handiak atera ez zezan..
McIntyreren B plana agian ez zen polita izan, baina mutil oh mutil oso eraginkorra izan zen.
Hasierako ‘irekia’ aldian, horrek arrakasta maila ona lortu zuen galestar zintzoari, borrokaren gehiengoa telefono kutxa batean izan zitekeen.
McIntyre-k argi eta garbi ez zuen Griffiths-i aukerarik emateko edozein jaurtiketa handiekin erauzi uzteko asmorik., lotu besterik ez zuen mantendu, batzuetan bide zikinez, horrenbestez, esandakoan eusteko edo ez hausteko abisu ugariren ondoren, Roger Riley epaileak puntu bat kendu zuen, hala ere puntu kenketa horrek ere ez zuen Liverpooleko gizonak garaipena lortzea eragotziko, puntuazio ofiziala izanik 39-36.
Dute esan, pertsonalki etsita zegoen Miles-Darch WBF Europako tituluaren borroka ez zelako gertatu, Owen Watkins sustatzaileak hain goi mailako laguntza-txartel bat osatu zuen, non, baita ziur nago bertaratutako guztiek beren Pugilistic Gosea ondo eta benetan asetuta zutela eskaintzaren prezioarekin eta bere hurrengo promozioari begira., Neath-eko Cwrt Herbert Aisialdi Zentroan egingo dena22irailean.

Here is what Garcia, his brother and trainerRobert Garcia and Ringstar Sports Chairman and CEORichard Schaeferhad to say ahead of Garcia’s first title unification fight:
Mikey GARCIA
“It’s been seven years since I last had the chance to fight here in LA, and that was even before I was champion. Now after all of my accomplishments, I get to come home and put on a unification match for my local fans.
“Every time I walk into the ring, there’s a moment where I get butterflies and feel the emotions from the fans. This time it’s with my hometown fans and that’s really special. I’m really looking forward to it because I know the fans are going to show up and show their love and support.
“I think I’m in my prime right now. I’m in the best shape physically and mentally that I’ve ever been in. I need to take advantage of the moment right now and take on the biggest challenges. I want to give the fans fights to remember. Those are the fights that excite me the most.
“I know Easter is very tall and has a longer reach than me. gimnasioan, we’ve been working on sparring partners who present different challenges and made adjustments from there. I have to catch him reaching in or put pressure and work my way inside. There are different things that I’m capable of doing.
“I’m pretty experienced from fighting taller guys in the past, so I don’t think it’s going to make too huge a difference. It’s a disadvantage on paper, but once fight night comes, I’ll be ready.
“This is a big fight for me and I’m sure it’s the biggest fight of Easter’s career so far. I’m glad to hear he’s training extra hard. It shows me that he’s motivated and hungry to show off his very best, besterik nagoen bezala.
“This is my natural weight and so far everything in camp has been smooth. The weight started coming off right away and now just restricting the diet enough so we get to where we want to be.”
ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Trainer
“We know that Robert Easter is training like never before to be ready for this fight against Mikey. He has a huge reach advantage, so we know he’s going to come in and use that. He has a new trainer [Kevin Cunningham] who is going to try make us box with him.
“We don’t listen at any criticism of Easter for having close decisions in his last couple of fights. We know that Easter is going to come in having trained like never before. It’s going to be the best Robert Easter Jr. possible on fight night.
“Mikey fighting at home in front of his hometown fans is huge for us. We know that there’s extra pressure that comes with it, but everything we’ve done together so far in his career has prepared him for it. I’m confident it’s going to bring out the best in him.”
“We have to use our experience advantage. Mikey has fought the better competition, but Easter is a young guy who wants to take Mikey’s spot. Mikey is very smart, so he’s going to look for the right punch to do damage.”
RICHARD SCHAEFER, Presidentea & Ringstar Kirol zuzendari nagusia
“Mikey Garcia has the opportunity to dominate at 135 eta 140-libra, plus he even wants to move up in weight and challenge himself against the best at 147-pounds. It shows the character and strength of Mikey Garcia. No challenge is too big for him.
“Whenever Mikey Garcia fights, it is must-see TV. He’s as good as it gets in the sport. This challenge against Robert Easter Jr. is the kind of fight that can turn you into a boxing fan. This is going to be a barnburner. They say that styles make fights and these two styles are made for each other.
“There was always somebody who carried the sport of boxing who was in Los Angeles, but right now there isn’t. Mikey is coming to fill that void. To have Mikey back at STAPLES Center is a perfect pairing of fighter and arena. STAPLES Center tends to bring out the best in fighters and that’s sure to happen again on July 28.”

After having heavyweight championDeontay Wildernearly out on his feet in their March classic, Ortiz (28-1, 24 Kos) eventually succumbed to the power of the unbeaten champion. Orain, Ortiz looks to get back to world title contention on July 28. Originally, from Camaguey, Cuba, now residing in Miami, Fla., Ortiz will fight in Los Angeles for the first time as a professional.
