HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION DEONTAY WILDER MAKES SEVENTH DEFENSE AGAINST UNDEFEATED CONTENDER LUIS ORTIZ SATURDAY, MARTIE 3 DIN BARCLAYS CENTER în Brooklyn & PRESENTED BY PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS
DE ASEMENEA ÎN ACȚIUNE! UNDEFEATED FORMER WORLD CHAMPION JERMALL CHARLO BATTLES ONCE-BEATEN HUGO CENTENO JR. FOR INTERIM 160-POUND TITLE
IN CO-FEATURE
BROOKLYN (Jan. 23, 2018) – Neînvinsă WBC la categoria grea campion mondial Deontay “Bombardierul bronz” Wilder will face his toughest opponent to date when he meets hard-hitting Cuban southpaw Luis “Real King Kong” Ortiz Sâmbătă, Martie 3 de la Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™ and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
The co-feature of the evening will see the return of undefeated former 154-pound world champion Jermall Charlo, a powerful knockout artist who is looking to prove that he is a dangerous contender in the star-studded middleweight division. Once-beaten contender Hugo Centeno Jr. will test Charlo’s 160-pound credentials when they meet in a 12-round match to determine the WBC interim champion, with the winner immediately stepping into the picture for middleweight supremacy.
Bilete pentru spectacol, care este promovat de Dibella Entertainment și TGB Promoții, încep de la $50 și sunt în vânzare acum. Pentru a achiziționa bilete, visit Ticketmaster.com, BarclaysCenter.com, sau apel 800-745-3000. Tickets for the event can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center.
“We’re very excited to bring the heavyweight champion of the world, Deontay Wilder, back to Brooklyn for his seventh title defense and third appearance at Barclays Center, casa BROOKLYN BOXING ™,” a declarat Lou Dibella, Președintele Dibella Divertisment. “This fight is happening because Deontay wanted to silence his critics by taking on the biggest challenge available. Deontay has an axe to grind with Ortiz and will swing it on March 3. Former 154-lb. champion Jermall Charlo is already a top player at middleweight and plans to prove he’s carried his power with him by facing one of the division’s best prospects, Hugo Centeno Jr., who is coming off a huge knockout victory in his last fight.”
“Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz is one of the best fights that can be made in the heavyweight division and its’ what heavyweights are all about – power versus power,” spuse Tom Brown, Președintele TGB Promoții. “Everybody loves the knockout and that’s what Wilder and Ortiz specialize in. În cazul în care co-principal, Jermall Charlo is strictly seek and destroy in the ring. That ferocious spirit made him a force at 154 and he has brought it with him to the 160 pound ranks. Centeno is a rugged competitor and he doesn’t back down from anyone. That makes this a can’t miss fight for the boxing fans.”
True heavyweights in every sense of the word, the 6-foot-7, 228-pound Wilder and the 6-foot-4, 240-pound Ortiz have 62 combined knockout victories.
The 32-year-old Wilder (39-0, 38 KO), the only reigning American heavyweight world champion, is a knockout artist with the power to end any fight in spectacular fashion. His only professional match that went the distance was the fight in which he won his world title with a dominant 12-round unanimous decision over Bermane Stiverne on Jan. 17, 2015 -the birthday of legendary heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali. The champion out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama added Stiverne to his list of knockout victims in his last fight with a devastating first round destruction in their rematch at Barclays Center on Noiembrie. 4.
Wilder was originally supposed to fight Ortiz that night, but Ortiz was pulled from the match after he tested positive for a banned substance. Ortiz was later cleared after the WBC determined he had failed to list medication that he was taking on his pre-testing paperwork, which triggered the positive test. He was assessed a fine and allowed to resume boxing.
Wilder, a Bronze Medal winner for the U.S. Olympic boxing team at the 2008 Beijing Games, has successfully defended the title six times. This will be his third title defense at Barclays Center. In his first defense at Barclays Center, Wilder scored a memorable ninth-round knockout over Artur Szpilka back in Jan. 2016.
“I’m looking forward to returning to Barclays Center to defend my title for a seventh time,” Wilder a declarat. “Luis Ortiz is one of the toughest guys around and he’s supposed to be the boogeyman in the heavyweight division. But I’ve never been afraid of the boogeyman and I’ve knocked out every opponent that I’ve faced. I plan on keeping that streak going. Everyone standing in my way of becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion has to go down. It’s Luis Ortiz’s turn.”
The 38-year-old Ortiz (28-0, 24 KO), of Camaguey, Cuba by way of Miami, Fla., will make his Barclays Center debut when he meets Wilder for his first title shot. The hard-hitting southpaw turned pro seven years ago after defecting from Cuba and has since been steadily climbing the heavyweight ladder. He cemented his standing in the division with victories over veteran contenders Bryant Jennings, Tony Thompson and Malik Scott and is the No. 1-ranked contender by the WBC. În lupta sa cea mai recentă, Ortiz scored a devastating second-round knockout of Daniel Martz in Miami, Florida Decembrie. 15.
If Ortiz wins, he will become the first Cuban born fighter to win a heavyweight world championship.
“This really is the best versus the best as far as the heavyweight division, and everyone who knows boxing knows that,” Ortiz said. “There’s been too much talking already. It’s time to fight. All I ask now is that the winner of this fight receives the respect from the other man, from the public, from the media and the fans that they deserve as the best heavyweight in the U.S.”
Charlo (26-0, 20 KO) won his super welterweight title with a dominant knockout of Cornelius Bundrage in 2015 and eventually achieved the distinction of holding a world title in the same weight class (154 de lire sterline) as his twin brother after Jermell won a title in 2016. After successfully defending his 154-pound title three times, Charlo of Richmond, Texas decided to move up to 160 pounds to win another title in a different weight class. In his debut at 160-pounds the 27-year-old scored a TKO victory over Jorge Sebastian Heiland at Barclays Center on Iulie 29.
“I really love fighting in Brooklyn and at Barclays Center,” Said Charlo. “The fans in Brooklyn always show me a lot of love. Since my last fight I’ve had a chance to work on my patience and work on improvements to my game. I’ve got the same feeling that I had before I won my first world title. I want to be a champion at 160 more than I did the first time at 154. More than anything I just want to get back in the ring. Centeno is a tough fighter. He’ll be a hard test for someone who isn’t at my level. Nu iau nimic de la el. But he’s just another fighter that’s in my way. I don’t feel like I have anything to prove to anyone else in this fight. I’m all about proving things to myself now. In the 160-pound division you’re hearing my name more and more. It’s more than you did when I was at 154 lire sterline.”
The 26-year-old Centeno (26-1, 14 KO) caught everyone’s attention when he scored a stunning knockout of Immanuwel Aleem in his last fight on August. 25. It was enough to springboard Centeno into middleweight title contention. Centeno of Oxnard, California successfully rebounded from a tough TKO loss to Maiej Sulecki on June 18, 2016 with a victory over Ronald Montes before his match against Aleem.
“I’m excited for the opportunity,” said Centeno. “I think my last outing had a lot to do with this/ It helped to put me in this position. Charlo is a great fighter with a lot of talent. I feel like we have similar statures. O să fie o luptă interesantă. I think it’s going to come down to who is the smarter fighter that night and who has more left in the tank toward the end. This is a life-changing, career-changing fight for me that could lead to bigger and better things. I’m coming to win.”

Scuturi controlate de la deschidere până la închiderea clopotului, măturând 100-90 pe toate cele trei scorecards ale judecătorilor în prima luptă la distanță de 10 runde din carieră. The 2012 și 2016 Medalistul de aur olimpic la depășit pe Nelson 225-81 cu pumnul ei total, 186-70 în împușcături de puteri, și conectat la a 44 procent de clip cu fotografiile ei de putere comparativ cu doar 20 procent pentru Nelson.
„Am aterizat la fiecare lovitură pe care am crezut că este posibil să o aterizez,A spus Shields. „Era dură, ea nu a fost un pushover. S-a luptat bine. ”
Scuturi avansate la 5-0 cu două eliminări în ceea ce era probabil lupta ei finală în divizia super-mijlocie. Tânăra în vârstă de 22 de ani are acum viziunea pusă pe divizia de greutate mijlocie, unde va viza în cele din urmă campioana mondială a femeilor de greutate medie neînvinsă și unificată Christina Hammer, care era inel Vineri în Verona.
„Trebuie să cobor și să văd ce simt (în primul rând),A spus Shields. „Cred că aș putea să fac 160 uşor, Voi fi mai mare și mai puternică decât orice fată.
„Hammer vrea doar să se aplice. Cred că e destul de speriată să fiu sinceră. Este mai îngrijorată de mine decât de mine. O să dau cu fundul lui Hammer. Oamenii cred că Hammer este mai priceput decât mine, așa că abia aștept să-i arăt că nu este ”.
Ciocan, care se așteaptă să lupte într-o luptă co-prezentată pe următoarea carte Shields, a fost intervievat de analistul SHOWTIME Steve Farhood și și-a exprimat entuziasmul de a-i face SUA. debutează și în cele din urmă se confruntă cu campioana americană.
„Este o combinație excelentă, eu și ea, pe aceeași carte,A spus Hammer. „Abia aștept să le arăt fanilor cine este Christina Hammer. Aceasta va fi cea mai bună luptă vreodată. Acesta va fi schimbătorul de joc pentru boxul feminin. Este timpul nostru să strălucim.
„Sunt campion mondial de mult timp și am mai multă experiență. Am acoperire mai lungă, Sunt inalt, Am o treabă bună la picioare și o tehnică mai bună decât ea. Simt energia, și abia aștept să lupt împotriva ei. ”
Fostul campion mondial Nelson (17-1-3, 2 KO) a devenit al 173-lea luptător neînvins care a suferit prima lor pierdere profesională ShoBox: Noua generatie.
„Nu sunt fericit pentru că nu am câștigat, dar în afară de asta am crezut că am executat destul de bine,”A spus Nelson, în vârstă de 41 de ani. „I-am dat o luptă mai bună decât se aștepta.
„Fără lipsă de respect față de Claressa, ea nu are o putere mare. Are o viteză mare și te copleșește cu o mulțime de pumni. Mișcarea mea a respins-o așa cum știam, dar știind că este campioana, Trebuia să mai împing puțin. ”
In ShoBox co-caracteristica, Jesse Hernandez l-a învins pe Ernesto Garza cu o decizie divizată într-o luptă plină de acțiuni care a fost marcată 95-94 Hernandez, 95-93 Garza, 97-93 Hernandez.
După o primă rundă apropiată, Garza l-a îmbrăcat pe Hernandez cu o mână stângă în nas în momentele de încheiere din a doua rundă. Hernandez și-a revenit, iar în timp ce rundele de mijloc au prezentat o acțiune extraordinară înainte și înapoi, Aparent, Hernandez nu a avut probleme să meargă pe Garza, căruia i se pare că nu are nici o putere reală. Garza (9-3, 5 KO) a găsit un al doilea vânt și a părut că a preluat runda a opta și a noua până când Hernandez a răcnet înapoi într-un excelent 10lea și runda finală care a prezentat 178 totalul pumni.
Hernandez (11-1, 7 KO) aterizat 50 procent din puterile sale de putere și conectat 40 procent din pumnii lui comparativ cu doar 28 procent pentru Garza, cu toate acestea a aruncat doar 719 pumni totale comparativ cu mai mult de 1,000 de Garza.
„Cred că ar fi trebuit să fie o decizie unanimă,A spus Hernandez. „Am fost întotdeauna un starter lent și simt că am pierdut primele două runde, mai ales cu knockdown-ul. Dar am câștigat aproape fiecare rundă după aceea, Poate am pierdut trei runde.
„Nu sunt complet mulțumit de performanța mea. Trebuie să-mi controlez distanța și raza de acțiune puțin mai bine. Trebuie să mă întorc la sala de sport și să lucrez la aceste lucruri. Înainte să vină vara, sper să mă mai lupt și sper să fie pe SHOWTIME.
„Îi acord Garza foarte mult pentru că am intrat în ring și m-am doborât. A stat acolo acolo 10 runde chiar și după ce l-am prins cu câteva fotografii bune. A reușit să reziste la acele lovituri, dar toate cele spuse, I still think it should have been a unanimous decision.”
Garza countered that sentiment.
“I thought it was a bogus decision,” Garza said. “I don’t understand that last judge’s card. I was happy with everything that I did. I executed well and did everything I needed to do to win the fight.
“I’m really disappointed with the outcome. I felt that I won. Pentru mine, I won a majority of the rounds and I knocked him down. I know knocking your opponent down usually leads to you winning the fight.”
Undefeated Uzbekistan power-puncher Shohjahon Ergashev handed Sonny Fredrickson the first loss of his career with an impressive third round TKO in the opening bout of the ShoBox emisiune de televiziune.
The win over the top-10 ranked Fredrickson extended Ergashev’s perfect record to 12-0 cu 12 knockout.
The 26-year-old pressed the action from the beginning, negating Fredrickson’s five-inch reach advantage with a steady diet of well-timed, crisp punches. Ergashev landed a wide left to the head that stumbled Fredrickson in the opening minute of the third and continued to tee-off as his opponent wobbled against the ropes With Fredrickson (18-1, 12 KO) unable to defend himself and eating a series of brutal lefts, referee Benjy Esteves stepped in to stop the bout at 1:58 a treia.
All of Ergashev’s 61 connects in the bout were power shots, and he connected on 77 percent of his power punches in the third and final round.
“The ref saved him,” Ergashev said. “If he let him stay on his feet any longer I would have knocked him out. He couldn’t handle my power.
“At this stage of my career, I am in the best shape of my life and the best I have felt. This is my time right now, especially because I am training with Rick (Phillips) și (Javan) Zahăr (Hill Steward). That’s what leads to all of my knockout power.
“I’m ready for whatever comes next. I’m ready for more fights in the U.S., and I want to keep getting more exposure to show off my skills. I’m ready to fight anybody in America.”
Fredrickson, who became the 172 fighter to suffer his professional loss on the prospect developmental series, suffered a jaw injury in the bout and was unavailable for comment.
Vineri tripleheader will replay on Luni, Jan. 15 la 10 p.m. ȘI/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

CITATE FINALE:
CLARESSA SHIELDS:
“Tori brings a lot more aggression, a lot more fight than a lot of my previous opponents. Pe hârtie, she has the best resume of any opponent I’ve faced and can put up a better fight.
“Everybody underestimates me because of my size. My frame looks like I’m a 140 but really I’m a 168. Everyone goes into a fight thinking they can win, but once that right hand lands everything changes. I’m going to go after her in the first round and get her out of there like Nikki Adler.
“I expect my opponent to apply pressure, and to use some dirty tactics. She has more experience, but not that much when you speak of her amateur experience.
“She’s confident and she believes in herself. She thinks I haven’t earned my place yet. She doesn’t think I throw hard punches. Speed is power. She doesn’t get that.
“This has been a hard camp, I really pushed myself. I usually do six weeks, this time I did eight weeks. I hadn’t fought since August so I wanted to give myself an extra two weeks so I knew I was in perfect shape.
“There’s no doubt that I start the year with a win, but I see this as a competitive fight. I’m going to have to earn the win but I believe I can KO her by the sixth, seventh round.”
TORI NELSON:
“I know I’m the underdog, but I’ve dropped nine people. She hasn’t scored one knockdown yet as a pro. When Claressa turned pro, I knew I’d have to face her eventually.
“A win is what I came for. I expect nothing different. I hope it would expose female boxing and not only open doors for me, but other female boxers coming up after me.
“I feel it’s more entertaining to watch a female fight. When women get dropped, they get right back up and go after it again. When men get knocked down, they start hiding because they don’t want to get hit again. So I think we should get paid just as much as the men.
“I’m blessed to be here, but I’m not a winner until I complete what I came here to do. And that’s win. The odds are definitely against me, but I’m going to shock the world.
“I want to take her into the deep waters. We don’t think she can beat us in a 10-round fight.
“They’re not going to give me anything. I have to be a dog and go in there and win this fight. I’ve always been aggressive. Why change anything for her?"
JESSE HERNANDEZ
“I’m just trying to get closer to a title fight. Moving up the rankings is the main goal right now, and I’m on the right path. A win here in a 10-round fight would be huge for my career.
“Being an all-around fighter is something I’m working on. But you can’t become a well-rounded fighter until you get the experience and the fights and that’s what I’m working on doing right now. I want to get more rounds in and progress.
“Fighting a southpaw is not a problem for me. I can switch my stance, but it’s not something I think about or plan. It just happens naturally in a fight.
“I’ve always believed in myself, even when I took time off. I believed that I could get back into it and get to a top level. The wins over two undefeated fighters did a lot for my confidence. I knew I could do it, but it showed others I belong and that I can compete at the top level.”
ERNESTO GARZA
“I like to bring the pressure, and he’s a pressure fighter too. We’ll see who backs up once we start throwing punches.
“I like to face fighters who come forward like him so I think everything will work for me. I plan on applying the pressure, getting him tired in the latter rounds, and taking him out.
“He tends to switch, but I think that’s when he gets off-balance. He won’t bring anything I haven’t seen before.
“I’m fighting at my natural weight class this time. My last fight on ShoBox (against undefeated Jon Fernandez) I was fighting a much higher weight.
“I don’t think his height and reach will give me any issues. I’ve been working with a lot of guys in the gym who have similar size and style. We’re ready for anything.
“A win would be a great step for me and my career. All the doors would open up for us.”
SHOHJAHON ERGASHEV:
“I love training here because of the fact that it’s a different atmosphere here in the States. It’s a real professional setup, I feel that my skills and my technique have gotten a lot better training here with Sugar Hill.
“I know that he is an experienced fighter. He’s undefeated and he’s coming to fight. It’s a big opportunity for both of us.
“I’m very honored to be on SHOWTIME and happy to be getting this kind of national exposure. A win would cement me as one of the best junior welterweight prospects in the world.
“I’ve gotten a lot better training at the Kronk Boxing Gym in Detroit. Last training camp was an introduction to the American style of boxing and this camp really improved my technique and tactics with the intense sparring.
"Im 11-0 cu 11 knockout. I’m a puncher and I want to knock him out, but I’ve trained for the distance. I’ve trained to knock somebody out in the first round and the eighth round.
“This is a big step-up in opposition, but I’ve had over 200 amateur fights against some of the best amateur boxers in the world. I’ve beaten Olympic medalists and very accomplished amateur fighters.”
SONNY FREDRICKSON
“I’ve been waiting for this exposure for a long time. I’ve been trying to get on TV for the last two or three years, so this is a huge deal for me. Hopefully a win bumps me up into the top 5 and gives me a title shot at the end of this year or the beginning of next year.
“We spar a lot with Robert (Paști). It’s back-and-forth action. We grew up together and learn a lot from each other. I give him some pointers here and there and he does the same for me.
“I don’t know too much about my opponent. I know he’s a lefty and he has a strong punch. He’s a good match for me. He wants to keep coming forward and land big shots so I’ll be able to outbox him pretty easily.
“I don’t think nerves will be factor. I’ve fought on Andre Ward’s card, I’ve been in big fights before.
“I’m going to knock him out after the third round. I’m going to say, hei, get him out of here.
“After this fight, fans will start learning my name. I think they’ll want to see me have a shot at the 140 pound title.”
