LAS VEGAS – July 15, 2025 -The fighting pride of the Philippines, an eight-division world champion and as of last month, an inductee into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. While it seems like the larger than lifeManny "Pacman" Pacquiaohas accomplished everything you can in the sport, he could add yet another chapter to his historic legacy this Saturday, Bulan Juli 19 when he challenges WBC Welterweight World ChampionMario “El Azteca” Barriosin the main event of a PBC Pay-Per-View event on Prime Video from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

In addition to becoming the first fighter to accomplish the incomprehensible feat of winning a world title after a Hall of Fame induction, Pacquiao could break his own record as the oldest welterweight world champion in history if he takes the WBC belt from Barrios. Pacquiao originally set the mark in July 2019, as he defeated the previously unbeaten Keith Thurman at 40-years-old. In an era that’s seen superstars in their 40’s such as Tom Brady and LeBron James continue to excel at the highest levels, Pacquiao is out to prove once again that he’s a generational athlete that transcends the sport.

Pacquiao will return to the ring at a place that he’s made his own, the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, the fight capital of the world, as he makes his 16^th appearance at the venue, more than any fighter in the venue’s considerable history. With his 15^th main event on July 19, he ties the mark set by fellow legend Floyd Mayweather at the venue, and only trails Mayweather in total wins at the arena (15-10). The two inextricably linked all-time greats are also tied for the most title fights at MGM Grand with 12 masing-masing.

Pada tanggal 19, Pacquiao will be facing a foe with a familiar fighting heritage in the Mexican-American Barrios, as Pacquiao has defeated a who’s-who of Mexico’s best throughout his career. Since the year 2003, Pacquiao has beaten 12 Mexican or Mexican-American fighters including legends such as Juan Manuel Marquez, Oscar De La Hoya, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera and Antonio Margarito. These triumphs include some of Pacquiao’s most notable wins and helped him earn the attention and adoration of boxing’s rabid Mexican fanbase.

While racking up all of these accomplishments, Pacquiao has garnered respect from a wide range of boxing luminaries who have shared their favorite “Manny Moments” ahead of the July 19 peristiwa. Amongst those who spoke about Pacquiao were former opponents Thurman and Barrera, as well as former sparring partner and welterweight champion Shawn Porter.

“It’s never been about one moment for me when it comes to Manny Pacquiao,” said Thurman. “My favorite moment is any time he’s busted off those eight-punch combos. With an opponent on the ropes, world-class competition, and he just fires off an eight-set. It’s happened many times, but every time I’ve witnessed it, it’s sparked a little joy in my heart.”

“I have two favorite Manny moments, the first is when he beat Oscar De La Hoya, because I thought it was impossible,"Kata Barrera. “I thought it would never happen and then De La Hoya remained seated and it was over. The second one was the way he beat Miguel Cotto. It was two Hall of Famers and Manny being really impressive in that weight class.

“What makes Manny so special is the bond and closeness with his fans. His heart is what makes everyone like him. He likes to put on a show, give it all for the fans, and most importantly, he becomes a warrior when he steps in the ring.”

“I have a rare Manny Pacquiao moment, because there aren’t too many that get to spar with the legend,” said Porter. “He flew me and my dad out to the Philippines and we met for the first time and he was like ‘okay this is gonna be fun.’ I was shocked because this was the first time that someone treated getting in the ring with me like it wasn’t a big deal…After I talked to my corner I turned around and took a step toward the center of the ring and it was like this moment came over me like ‘you’re sparring Manny Pacquiao.’ I was in a daze for like the first 10 detik. And he caught me with a good straight left hand in the first minute and it woke me up. I was like ‘that dude’s got some power’, and then we were off to the races.”

When prognosticating the results of this Saturday, Bulan Juli 19 pertarungan, the oddsmakers have installed the younger reigning champion Barrios as a betting favorite. Renowned trainer and boxing analyst Stephen “Breadman” Edwards agrees with the sentiment, emphasizing how gargantuan the task at hand is for the 46-year-old great.

“It would be an incredible feat for a 46-year-old fighter to come back and win the welterweight world title,” said Edwards. “It’s hard to even imagine someone being off for a few years and then coming back at 46 and winning it. In all honesty, I think that this may be an impossible task. If anyone can do it, Manny can do it, but right now I’m favoring Barrios.”

Despite the odds, several of the polled boxers are favoring Pacquiao to pull off the upset, including Porter, Barrera, and reigning WBA Super Lightweight World Champion Gary Antuanne Russell.

“Pacquiao is a punches in bunches type of guy and he can crack,"said Russell. “He’s shown that his punching power can get the job done. Barrios is youthful and a selective puncher. I don’t think he’s gonna be able to sit there and take pictures. Manny will make you pay if you wait too long. He’s always shown that he wants to get the fight going.

“Pacquiao is a high-tempo fighter and Barrios has struggled with that pace. Barrios is a tough competitor, but I feel like he still has a lot to learn. Manny has been in there with many champions and I believe he has the tools in his arsenal and that it’ll show the night of the fight. Barrios is gonna have to shock the world. He has to show enough to make Manny respect him. I’m leaning towards Manny being victorious, but may the best man win.”

“I do believe that Manny Pacquiao is gonna beat Mario Barrios,” said Porter. “I know that everyone is talking about his age. That’s the theme, can the old man beat the young man? I think this old man is always gonna be too much until he hangs up the gloves.”

“I think this will be a very interesting fight,"Kata Barrera. “Pacquiao is a superb warrior, an eight-division world champion who will give it his all and who likes to put on a show. This sets up to be a fight where we will really see these guys collide and make the fans the real winners.

“Barrios is an active defending champion, and while he’s not as complex as the other current champions, he will be dangerous once he steps into the ring. I would like to see Pacquiao win because of the legend that he is. I’ll go with Manny Pacquiao as the winner, but if Barrios wins, it’ll be because he proves that he’s the better fighter right now.”

No matter who you see winning on July 19, the evening is undoubtedly shaping up to be historic, and despite any doubts coming from the outside, Pacquiao has expressed the strong self-belief that he will leave the ring as world champion once again.

“The fire, determination and eagerness to work hard is still there,” said Pacquiao. “I’m still enjoying running the mountains. Not every fighter has this feeling. This is a blessing, because I’ve been through so many big fights in my career and I’m still here. I’m back…It would mean a lot for me to become world champion again. Manny Pacquiao is always giving surprises to the fans. That’s my passion.”

ANGEL FIERRO: “I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR PITBULL CRUZ. HE DOESN’T INTIMIDATE ME & HE’S AN ORDINARY FIGHTER!" – Fierro Talks Training With Robert Garcia & More Ahead of Cruz Rematch on Saturday, Bulan Juli 19

Hard-Hitting Fierro Talks Training with Robert Garcia & Previews Mexico vs. Mexico Rematch Against Former World Champion Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz onHari Sabtu, Bulan Juli 19 on PBC Pay-Per-View Event on Prime Video from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas

RIVERSIDE, SEPERTI. – July 1, 2025 -Hard-hitting Mexican contenderAngel “Tashiro” Fierrosent a direct message to his compatriot and rivalIsaac "Pitbull" Cruzduring a tense face-to-face at the Los Angeles press conference in June to announce their rematch, and has continued to express his ire toward Cruz as we near their showdown on Saturday, Bulan Juli 19 as part of a PBC Pay-Per-View event on Prime Video from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

“When I say something to him, like I did at that press conference, I follow through,” said Fierro. “I promised I would show him that I’m elite and this fight will be more of the same. I have no respect for ‘Pitbull’ Cruz. He doesn’t intimidate me and he’s an ordinary fighter. He’s a human and he gets tired too. I stayed true to myself when I told him I’m coming for war.”

The biggest change for Fierro since the first showdown is the addition of famed trainer Robert Garcia, who has led his training camp and will do the same for his corner on July 19. By joining forces with Garcia, Fierro believes he’s unlocked a better version of himself that he’ll display in the rematch.

“It’s been a tough camp,” said Fierro. “I’ve never trained with this much intensity before. Robert Garcia and the whole team has been excellent. We’ve made changes to my sparring sessions and I believe we’re going to deliver a great result.

“I’ve gone through changes physically, mentally and nutritionally. It’s going to make me formidable. I’m in the best shape of my life and my diet is on point. I’m not worried about making weight and that’s how an elite fighter should come into a fight.”

The Tijuana-native’s first fight against Cruz was a tale of two halves, as Cruz controlled the early rounds before Fierro appeared to turn the tide, out landing his opponent 132 untuk 106 across the final five frames. While he believes he’ll be even better on July 19, Fierro is confident that he proved his elite status in the first fight, even if Cruz doesn’t.

“I’ve worked on myself and correcting the mistakes I made in the first fight that would have changed the outcome,” said Fierro. “Robert Garcia is very experienced and I watched the fight with him to work on what I need to do to win this time.

“I didn’t keep my hands up 100% of the time like I needed to. That was the main mistake at the time. ‘Pitbull’ underestimated me – and still does- but I already showed him that I’m not middling fighter. I proved I’m elite and now I’m working twice as hard.”

In addition to showing Cruz his level, Fierro believes that he took advantage of the big stage in February on the undercard of David Benavidez vs. David Morrell Jr. to show the Mexican people that he was a true contender. With that extra motivation, he’s promised to show that he will be the next big star to take off from the boxing-rich country.

“Di awal pertarungan, people looked at me like I was a nobody,” said Fierro. “But by the halfway point, I felt a shift, and people were already seeing me as a big-time fighter. I felt like Rocky in Russia! I proved that I’m not just a talker. I’m a true Mexican…We’re two Mexicans with pride on the line and looking to show who the next great Mexican boxing star will be. I’m fighting to bring honor to my country.”

Having already delivered a fight that’s garnering early Fight of the Year consideration, Fierro has promised to deliver even more action the second time around, and perhaps bring back memories of Fierro’s personal favorite all-Mexican rematch Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Erik Morales II.

“You’re going to see a different ‘Tashiro’ and it’s going to be an even better war than the first one,” said Fierro. “The fans will be on their feet from the very first round. I will beat ‘Pitbull’ – no matter what. He better prepare well and I think he will, because deep down he knows what he’s up against.”

**MANNY PACQUIAO VS. MARIO BARRIOS**

Despite a 17-year age gap between these two fighters, both are unified in their desire to deliver toe-to-toe action for boxing fans as the fighting pride of the PhilippinesManny Pacquiaoduels WBC Welterweight World ChampionMario Barriosdi acara utama 12-round.

Already owning a career that’s seen him earn more accolades than can be listed in print, Pacquiao can etch his name into another chapter of the history books by going straight from his Hall of Fame induction in June to a world championship-winning performance on July 19. In an era that’s seen superstars in their 40’s such as Tom Brady and LeBron James continue to excel at the highest levels, Pacquiao can break his own record as the oldest welterweight world champion in history with a win over Barrios, after originally setting the mark at 40-years-old in his 2019 triumph over Keith Thurman.

The Filipino legend will have a tall task in front of him to achieve this feat, as the six-foot Barrios will bring a nearly seven-inch height advantage into his second defense of the WBC title. A two-division world champion, Barrios represents his Aztec heritage every time he enters the ring with an all-action style that’s delivered numerous electric clashes and which should combine with the always hard-charging Pacquiao for explosive action. Looking for a signature victory to separate himself from the other titleholders in boxing’s historic glamour division, Barrios will no doubt be keen to upend Pacquiao’s coronation when they square off on July 19.

A three-time Fighter of the Year and the one-time Boxing Writers Association of America’s Fighter of the Decade, Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 Biaya), yang berasal dari Provinsi Sarangani di Filipina, is the only sitting Congressman and Senator to win a world title. After serving two terms as Congressman, Pacquiao terpilih menjadi kursi Senat Filipina pada bulan Mei 2016. Pacquiao’s boxing resume features victories over eight current Hall of Famers, termasuk Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, Tim Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez.

Pacquiao’s most recent run in the 147-pound division saw him dispatch of former four-division world champion Adrien Broner in January 2019, before defeating the then-undefeated and reigning WBA Welterweight World Champion Keith Thurman in July of that same year. Pacquiao’s triumph over Thurman saw him send Thurman to the canvas in round one, the first time Thurman had been down in his career, on his way to edging out a decision in a 2019 Fight of the Year contender. Pacquiao would come up short in his next contest, dropping a decision to late-replacement Yordenis Ugas, who stepped in on short notice to replace an injured Errol Spence Jr. pada bulan Agustus 2021.

“Boxing is my passion and I’m so excited to be back in the ring,” said Pacquiao. “MGM Grand is like my second home in my career and it’s a place where I’ve had so many memorable fights, including my U.S. debut. The first title I ever won was a WBC title, and now I am back to fight for the WBC title once again. Mario Barrios is exactly the type of champion I like to fight, because he’s a real Mexican warrior like Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez. Come July 19, it’s going to be an amazing night for the fans.”

The 29-year-old Barrios (29-2-1, 18 Biaya) stamped his place among the welterweight elite in September 2023 as he dropped former champion Yordenis Ugas twice to capture the interim belt by unanimous decision. Barrios followed that up by sending Fabian Maidana to the canvas as well on his way to another dominant decision victory, and was elevated to WBC Welterweight World Champion following the bout. His first defense of the title featured Barrios going toe-to-toe with Abel Ramos in one of 2024’s best fights in action that saw both men score knockdowns and that ultimately ended in a split-draw and Barrios retaining the belt.

Before his run at 147-pounds, Barrios was a world champion at 140-pounds, edging out Batyr Akhmedov in September 2019 with a clutch 12^th-round knockdown that sealed his victory on the scorecards. Throughout his career, Barrios’ only two defeats have come against two of the era’s best fighters in five-time, three-division champion Gervonta Davis and former unified welterweight world champion Keith Thurman. Representing his native San Antonio, Texas, Barrios trains in Las Vegas with top trainer Bob Santos.

“Sharing the ring with a legend like Manny Pacquiao is an honor, but once the bell rings, itu semua bisnis,” said Barrios. “I respect everything he’s done in the sport, but on July 19, I’m defending what’s mine. This isn’t just another fight — it’s a legacy fight not just for me but for all the Mexican fans as well. Beating Pacquiao puts my name in a different conversation. Pacquiao is a Hall of Famer for a reason. Dia cepat, eksplosif, and dangerous at all times. But I’m younger, I’m hungrier, and I’m the champion for a reason. I’m coming in with everything I’ve got. Fighting in Vegas is always special, but this event is a truly massive stage and I’m ready to show out for the world.”

**SEBASTIAN FUNDORA VS. TIM TSZYU II**

Two of the top fighters in the stacked 154-pound division, WBC Welterweight World ChampionSebastian "The Towering Inferno" Fundoraand Australian superstarTim Tszyuwill meet in a 12-round rematch after their first fight saw Tszyu suffer a grisly cut in round three from an inadvertent Fundora elbow. The then WBO 154-pound champion Tszyu chose to fight on instead of bow out due to the cut, eventually losing his title, along with the then-vacant WBC belt, to Fundora by a close decision. Pada tanggal 19, these two rivals look to settle the score and establish who is number one at 154-pounds.

Fundora (22-1-1, 14 Biaya) rocketed to the top of the super welterweight division with that victory over Tszyu, and most recently made a successful title defense in March by knocking out top contender Chordale Booker in round four on Prime Video. A native of Coachella, California, Fundora notably showed his mettle in April 2022, battling the hard-hitting Erickson Lubin in an instant 2022 Fight of the Year contender. Despite both men hitting the canvas, Fundora stood tall in the end, prompting Lubin’s corner to stop the fight at the end of the ninth round. The 27-year-old has defeated a slew of contenders throughout his career, with his only defeat coming to Brian Mendoza in 2023. Fundora represents one of boxing’s most accomplished families, as he is trained by his father Freddy alongside his younger sister, undisputed flyweight world champion Gabriela. The two fighting Fundora’s are the first brother and sister to simultaneously hold world championships.

“I’m more than happy to honor Tim’s rematch clause,Kata Fundora. “I expect Tim to be in optimum condition. Fans should expect nothing but a very entertaining violent display.”

Setelah 2024 saw Tszyu (25-2, 18 Biaya) lose a second-straight bout to IBF 154-pound champion Bakhram Murtazaliev following the Fundora fight, the 30-year-old recently returned to action in April by stopping young contender Joey Spencer in round four in Australia. Tszyu came into the first Fundora fight off a red-hot 2023 campaign that saw him elevated to world champion at 154-pounds while defeating former world champion Tony Harrison, top contender Brian Mendoza and former title challenger Carlos Ocampo. A native of Sydney, Australia, Tszyu made his U.S debut against U.S. Olympian Terrell Gausha in March 2022, mendapatkan keputusan bulat. Tszyu grew up playing soccer, but soon gravitated toward boxing. The decision led to him following in the legendary footsteps of his father, Kostya, who was an undisputed 140-pound champion.

“You live for these moments in boxing,” said Tszyu. “I’m blessed to be going through it again — to rewrite the chapter. Even with the bad memories and demons from the first fight, this is what growth means as a human being. I can go through hell and come back on top. This time I’ve got a full 12-week camp focused on Fundora — not a few days’ notice — and I’m bringing that intensity. I’ve got a little place set aside for that green belt. I’m ready to go get it.”

**ISAAC CRUZ VS. ANGEL FIERRO II**

In another greatly anticipated rematch, hard-charging Mexican fan-favoriteIsaac "Pitbull" Cruzwill step in once again against his power-punching countrymanIsaac Fierroas they meet in a 12-round super lightweight rematch. In their first matchup, Cruz and Fierro fought nip-and-tuck over 10 high-octane rounds that saw them combine to throw over 1400 pukulan, with Cruz taking home the decision. While Cruz out landed Fierro 142 untuk 113 over the first five rounds, Fierro was stronger in the second half, pendaratan 132 shots to Cruz’s 106.

Buoyed on by his passionate fan base, Salib (27-3-1, 18 Biaya) became a world champion in March 2024 as he hurt Rolly Romero badly in round one before eventually ending the fight in round eight via TKO to claim the WBA title. Baru-baru ini, Cruz bounced back from a loss to Jose Valenzuela by out-slugging countryman Fierro in that decision triumph in February. Berasal dari Mexico City, Cruz shot up the rankings in 2020, announcing his presence with an electrifying first-round knockout over veteran Diego Magdaleno in October before adding dominant decisions over Francisco Vargas and Jose Matias Romero. This rise led to the 26-year-old challenging undefeated superstar Gervonta Davis in December 2021, a fight that saw Cruz lose by decision to become just the second fighter at the time to see the final bell against Davis. Trained by his father Isaac Cruz Sr., Cruz also owns stoppage wins over former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa and veteran contender Eduardo Ramirez, in addition to a 12-round decision over the then-unbeaten Giovanni Cabrera.

“I’m looking forward to fighting Angel Fierro again,"Kata Cruz. “I know that I won the first fight, but I feel that I can do even better this time around. This is going to be more of the Mexican style boxing that fans want to see. I fight for the fans and I can’t wait to give them more action on July 19.”

Originally from Tijuana, Baja California, Meksiko, Fierro (22-3-2, 17 Biaya) now fights out of San Diego and has made a name for himself with his aggressive style and power punching prowess. The 26-year-old has fought professionally since 2015 and was undefeated in his first 17 acara. He announced his presence as a world contender in 2021 with a career-best victory as he rose from the canvas to stop former world champion Alberto Machado in round six. Prior to the Cruz fight, Fierro had a three-fight winning streak snapped when he lost a June decision against Alfredo Santiago, with the only other loss of Fierro’s career coming via split-decision in January 2020 against Alex Martin. The February 1 fight against Cruz marked Fierro’s third career fight stateside, and his first since a majority draw against Juan Carlos Burgos in March 2022.

“It is an honor to be fighting at MGM Grand where my idol Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. had so many fights,” said Fierro. “I will honor him by again showing real Mexican style boxing for the world. I feel that I beat ‘Pitbull’ in the first fight and I’m gonna prove it the second time around. Saya datang untuk menang!"

**BRANDON FIGUEROA VS. JOET GONZALEZ**

One of the sport’s premier action fighters, former two-division championBrandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroawill return to action against top contenderJoet Gonzalez in a 10-round featherweight attraction that will see the winner vaulted back into the world title picture.

The 28-year-old Figueroa (25-2-1, 19 Biaya) will look to bounce back after losing his 126-pound title by decision in his February rematch against Stephen Fulton Jr. Figueroa had been elevated to WBC Featherweight World Champion before the fight, after Rey Vargas was declared champion in recess. Figueroa won the Interim WBC Featherweight Title in a 2023 Fight of the Year contender that saw him score a unanimous decision over former champion Mark Magsayo. He returned last May to successfully defend his interim title with a ninth-round knockout of former champion Jessie Magdaleno, increasing his winning streak at the time to three straight. A native of Weslaco, Texas, Figueroa’s relentless pressure and youthful enthusiasm helped him become the first person to defeat former two-division champion Luis Nery in their May 2021 championship clash, as he stopped Nery with a body shot in round seven. Figueroa added to his family’s legacy by capturing the WBC 122-pound world title against Nery, joining his brother Omar Figueroa Jr., who previously held the WBC Lightweight World Championship.

“I’m training in L.A. now with Manny Robles and everything has been going great,” said Figueroa. “I expect a great fight and that I won’t have to look for him to make an exciting fight for the fans. So expect an all-action throwdown. I feel like I owe it to my fans after my last performance. I just want to be more active this year and give the fans more of ‘The Heartbreaker’.”

Berjuang dari Los Angeles, Gonzalez (27-4, 15 Biaya) returns to the ring after earning a crucial victory over fellow contender Arnold Khegai in March. The 31-year-old turned pro in 2012 dengan 23 kemenangan straight, earning a world title shot against Shakur Stevenson in 2019 that he would ultimately drop by decision. Gonzalez would go on to challenge for featherweight world titles two more times, losing decisions to Emanuel Navarrete in October 2021 and Luis Alberto Lopez in September 2023. Gonzalez was a sensational and accomplished amateur fighter, with his resume including two victories over Gervonta Davis.

“This is a new opportunity for me and I plan to put on a great fight against a very tough opponent in Brandon Figueroa,"Kata Gonzalez. “I’m training very hard like I always do and the fans are going to get an exciting fight and a memorable show. We’re both warriors showing up to win that night, so expect fireworks.”

**LOS ANGELES** (Bulan Desember 5, 2021) –Superstar tinju dan juara dunia lima kali Gervonta “Tank” Davis tunjukkan keterampilan tinjunya, memenangkan keputusan bulat 12 ronde yang meriah atas yang tanpa henti **Isaac "Pitbull" Cruz** untuk mempertahankan Gelar Juara Dunia Ringan WBA-nya di depan para pemain bertabur bintang, terjual habis 15,850 di STAPLES Center langsung di SHOWTIME Bayar-Per-Tampilan, dalam acara yang dipersembahkan oleh Premier Boxing Champions.

Scorecard baca 116-112 dan dua skor 115-113, semua untuk Davis.

Suasana di arena adalah listrik, dengan sejumlah bintang NBA saat ini dan mantan yang hadir, termasuk Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Kawhi Leonard, Dwight Howard, Kenny Smith, Kevin Garnett dan Paul Pierce antara lain.

Didampingi oleh rapper superstar Lil Durk, Davis memasuki ring dengan warna ungu dan emas Laker; jumbai di sepanjang kopernya dengan nomor mendiang Kobe Bryant "8" dan "24" di setiap sisinya. Cruz merayakan warisan Meksikonya dengan band mariachi di belakangnya saat dia melangkah menuju ring.

Tidak ada proses perasaan keluar pada awalnya. Cruz menyerang sang juara bertahan, menjepitnya ke tali dan meratap.

“Itu gayaku. 'Pitbull' akan selalu menyerang,"Kata Cruz. “Saya pikir kami mempertahankan ritme dari awal hingga akhir.”

Davis menemukan ritmenya di set kedua dan ketiga, mengitari ring dan membawa Cruz ke tembakan. Di keempat, Cruz memusatkan serangannya pada tubuh, menumbuk tulang rusuk Davis.

Penduduk asli Baltimore berusia 27 tahun itu menyalakan listrik di kuarter keempat, bergantian antara hook kanan dan umpan silang kiri di belakang kuda-kuda kidalnya. Pukulan yang lebih menghukum datang dari Davis selama yang kelima.

“Dia petarung yang lebih pendek, jadi saya lempar ke atas kepalanya,"Kata Davis. “Aku memukulnya dengan buku jariku dan mengacaukannya. Aku menyakiti tanganku pada ronde keenam. Tidak peduli apakah lawannya lebih tinggi atau lebih pendek, Aku harus melewatinya. Dia seorang pejuang. Meskipun dia tidak menang, seorang bintang lahir malam ini.”

“Saat itu sekitar ronde kelima saya melihat tangannya tidak bekerja dengan benar,Cruz mengamati.

Davis bertinju dengan indah di ronde tengah, menembakkan tembakan cepat dan berputar menjauh dari tembakan balasan. Pukulan kanan di pukulan kedelapan secara singkat membuat Cruz berdengung dan membuat penonton berdiri. Tapi tepat ketika itu tampak seolah-olah pertarungan itu menghilang, Cruz melawan api dengan api, mendaratkan pukulan flush beberapa detik sebelum bel.

Petenis Meksiko berusia 23 tahun itu meningkatkan kecepatannya di ronde-ronde terakhir, menjaga Davis tetap waspada dan berdebar-debar. Davis memegang miliknya sendiri, melawan balik secara seimbang sampai pertarungan berakhir.

Tentu saja, Cruz percaya dia pantas menang.

"Hidup Mexico. Saya tidak punya apa-apa untuk dikatakan, para penggemar berbicara tentang siapa yang memenangkan pertarungan ini,"Dia berkata.

Setelah sukses mempertahankan gelar, Davis mengatakan dia siap untuk semua pendatang.

"LA., kami melakukannya untuk Kobe,"Kata Davis. “Di awal pertarungan, dia datang dengan kuat. Saya merasa saat pertarungan sedang berlangsung, dia sedang mogok. Tapi tanganku terluka, jadi saya tidak bisa mengeluarkannya dari sana.

“Kesempatan apa pun yang terbaik untukku, Aku akan melakukannya. Semuanya adalah pekerjaan mudah. Saya anjing teratas. ”

Dalam acara co-main, **Sebastian "Menjulang Inferno" Fundora** bergerak lebih dekat ke perebutan gelar dunia dengan keputusan bulat 12 ronde atas yang sebelumnya tak terkalahkan **Sergio Garcia** dalam Eliminator Gelar Kelas Welter Super WBC.

Skor akhir dibaca 118-110, 117-111 dan 115-113.

Fundora membentuk kontrol dengan cepat di awal, mematahkan kepala Garcia dari Spanyol dengan pukulan kiri yang menggelegar. Keduanya berdagang secara merata melalui putaran awal. Garcia memiliki momennya, termasuk pukulan overhand yang tajam pada pukulan kelima yang mengeluarkan darah dari hidung Fundora.

Fundora yang berusia 23 tahun menemukan jangkauannya di urutan keenam, memompa jab dan menggunakan bingkai 6-kaki-5 dan jangkauan 80-inci untuk menjaga Garcia di teluk.

“Aku lebih sering menggunakan jarak. Saya ingin menampilkan sesuatu yang berbeda dari biasanya,Kata Fundora. “Tinggi jelas merupakan perbedaan dalam pertarungan ini.”

Garcia berjuang untuk mendarat di babak kedua pertarungan, simpan untuk beberapa saat di 12^th ketika kedua kombatan berdiri kaki-ke-kaki.

“Mungkin segalanya bisa berbeda jika saya lebih agresif dari awal,Kata Garcia. "Aku seharusnya tidak membiarkan diriku terbawa oleh apa yang dia lakukan."

Fundora yakin dia siap untuk perebutan gelar dunia.

“Kami baru saja mengalahkan No. 2 di WBC, jadi kita punya No.1, dan kami memiliki juara,Kata Fundora. “Siapa pun yang mereka berikan selanjutnya, kami siap.”

Dalam mendebarkan bolak-balik, **Carlos Adames** (21-1, 16 Biaya) mengatasi tantangan berat dari mantan penantang gelar dunia **Sergiy Derevyanchenko** (13-4, 10 Biaya) untuk memenangkan keputusan mayoritas 10 ronde dalam Eliminator Gelar Dunia Kelas Menengah WBC mereka.

Kedua kombatan memiliki momen mereka, tapi menghadapi lawan terberat dalam karirnya, Adames yang berusia 27 tahun bersinar. Seorang juri menilai pertarungan kelas menengah bahkan pada 95-95, sementara dua lainnya mencetak gol untuk Adames dengan skor 96-94 dan 97-93.

“Ini sangat berarti bagi saya dalam karir saya dan ini adalah pencapaian besar menang melawan petinju sekalibernya,” kata Adames, yang lahir di Republik Dominika dan bertarung di Washington Heights di New York City.

“Saya agresif dan cepat secara alami, jadi saya datang siap untuk melakukan pekerjaan saya. Dia mulai lambat, ingin melihat apa yang akan terjadi, dan hanya memiliki rencana permainan yang salah. Dia sedikit lelah saat pertarungan berlangsung, mengambil banyak pukulan keras dari saya dan terbukti bahwa saya menyebabkan banyak kerusakan padanya.”

“Saya berharap lawan saya bertarung dengan gaya yang sama. Itu tidak ada yang istimewa bagi saya, hanya pertarungan kualitas,"Kata Derevyanchenko.

“Dia tetap kidal, itulah perbedaan dalam pertarungan. Saya tidak tahu apa yang akan saya lakukan selanjutnya. Saya perlu sedikit istirahat dan kemudian saya akan kembali ke gym karena saya suka tinju dan saya suka pertunjukannya.”

“Ini memberi saya kesempatan untuk melanjutkan,” kata Adames. “Saya mendominasi di keduanya 154 dan 160, jadi di mana pun mereka memberi saya kesempatan untuk memperjuangkan kejuaraan, di situlah saya akan pergi.”

Dalam pertarungan pembukaan siaran SHOWTIME PPV, penantang kelas bulu super **Eduardo "Kiri" Ramirez** (26-2-3, 12 Biaya) berada dalam bentuk puncak, memenangkan keputusan bulat 10 ronde yang lebar atas mantan penantang gelar dunia **Miguel Marriaga**.

“Saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada para penggemar, SHOWTIME dan keluarga Montiel yang telah mendukung saya. Marriaga adalah lawan yang tangguh, tapi aku berhasil mendominasi,” kata Ramirez. “Saya memiliki gaya bertarung yang bervariasi dan membuatnya tetap waspada sepanjang waktu.”

Marriaga (30-5, 26 Biaya) adalah agresor di seluruh, khususnya di ronde pertama saat ia mendukung Ramirez dengan pukulan kombinasi. Yang terakhir menemukan jangkauannya di tengah bingkai, memanfaatkan jab yang akurat. Dalam ketiga, sebuah hook kanan diikuti oleh sebuah pukulan overhand kiri membuat Marriaga tidak seimbang untuk sebuah pukulan knockdown.
“Kami memulai dengan kuat, tapi kemudian segalanya menjadi semakin sulit. Setelah mengatakan itu, kami senang dengan pekerjaan yang kami lakukan hari ini,” kata Marriaga. “Kita seharusnya lebih cerdas, tetapi kami berusaha sekuat tenaga dalam menghadapi peluang besar yang sayangnya tidak dapat kami manfaatkan.”

Ramirez mendominasi setelah mencetak knockdown, menghukum Marriaga sejak saat itu dengan berbagai macam tembakan ke kepala dan tubuh. Statistik pukulan terakhir membuat Ramirez mendarat 280 dari 762 (36.7%) pukulan total untuk Marriaga 159 dari 689 (21.3%).

“Sekarang saya akan bersantai dengan keluarga saya dan menikmati liburan,” kata Ramirez. “Kalau begitu semoga 2022 akan datang dengan tembakan judul untuk saya.”

Acara bayar-per-tayang blockbuster malam ini akan ditayangkan ulang pada SHOWTIME Sabtu ini, Bulan Desember 11 di 10 p.m. ET / PT. Siaran tertunda dari Davis vs. Cruz akan membuka siaran yang menampilkan Juara Dunia Kelas Bantam WBC dan Hall of Famer masa depan Nonito Donaire saat ia akan mempertahankan gelarnya melawan penantang teratas yang tak terkalahkan dan rekan senegaranya asal Filipina Reymart Gaballo yang menjadi headline dalam acara Premier Boxing Champions dari Dignity Health Tennis Stadium di Carson.

Penyiar olahraga veteran Brian Custer menjadi pembawa acara siaran SHOWTIME PPV sementara suara olahraga tempur serbaguna Mauro Ranallo menangani aksi pukulan demi pukulan bersama analis Hall of Fame Al Bernstein dan juara dunia tiga divisi Abner Mares.
