LONDRES – Febrer 23, 2019 - Chris Eubank Jr.. va obtenir una victòria que va definir la seva carrera amb una molt lluitada decisió unànime sobre el rival britànic i excampió del món en dues ocasions James DeGale en un partit de rancor de pes súper mitjà dissabte a SHOWTIME de The O2 de Londres..



Eubank, el fill de la llegenda britànica de la boxa i antic campió mundial de dues divisions Chris Eubank Sr., va deixar a DeGale dues vegades en el camí cap a la decisió clara, que va ser anotat 114-112, 115-112, 117-109. Vídeo: https://s.sho.com/2E6mWI8



Treballant en el seu primer combat amb un entrenador a temps complet, Eubank va lluitar en una lluita controlada. L'antic desafiador del títol mundial va deixar a DeGale en un moment difícil del segon, va sorprendre el seu rival amb un gran ganxo d'esquerra contra les cordes i el va aterrar moments després amb una forta centrada a la dreta que va enviar DeGale a la lona només per la segona lluita de la seva carrera..



Degale, que va establir la seva carrera de campionat com un zurt esmaltat, no va poder fer un cop a distància i no va poder suportar la pressió constant d'Eubank. L'antic medallista d'or olímpic va recórrer a llançar-se des de l'exterior i va ser en gran mesura ineficaç per dins, sovint enganxant-se mentre estan a prop.



"Sabia que anava a venir a mi així,", va dir Eubank. "És un zurdó astut, però el meu pla de joc va funcionar. Pressió intel·ligent i no avançar-me massa. És un lluitador infernal, un infern d'un competidor, però al final el meu cap i el meu cor van guanyar aquesta lluita".



"Hi va haver molta animositat que va portar a aquesta lluita. Li vaig dir, 'Aquest és el meu moment,’ i va ser. És un veterà del joc, llança grans cops i aconsegueix mantenir-se aixecat. Aixecar-se després d'aquests derrocaments és una declaració sobre la seva tenacitat i el tipus de lluitador que és".



La segona derrota va arribar a la 10º mentre Eubank va aterrar un potent ganxo esquerre que va atorçar a DeGale amb només 30 segons per jugar-se a la ronda. Un cop més, DeGale va intentar aferrar-se per evitar la derrota, però la seva mà va tocar el llenç i va ser sentenciat només el tercer derrocament de la seva carrera.



Després de la baralla, Degale, que va ser el primer lluitador britànic que va guanyar una medalla d'or olímpica i un campionat mundial, semblava estar inclinat cap a la jubilació.



"Definitivament no vaig fer prou,", va dir DeGale. "Ell hi estava i no vaig fer prou. Heu de fer més que suficient per contrarestar algú que es va presentar com Chris.



"Tornaré i parlaré amb el meu equip, la meva família, i decidir. Vaig deixar la meva empremta a la boxa. Vaig guanyar una medalla olímpica, dos títols mundials i potser és el moment de penjar-ho”.



Mentre DeGale contempla la jubilació, Eubank té la mirada posada en una altra oportunitat per aconseguir un títol mundial.



“Aquesta va ser la lluita més important de la meva carrera, i vaig fer una declaració. He tornat on hauria d'estar, a la part superior de la cadena alimentària. Vinc per tots els cinturons de la divisió de pes mitjà i súper mitjà. Estic lluitant contra tots els que em posen al davant.



"Estic content de fer el meu debut americà aquí a SHOWTIME. Estic content de ser presentat al públic nord-americà d'aquesta manera, fent una declaració".



En la baralla d'obertura de la doble cartellera de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, El pes pesat invicte Joe Joyce va mantenir intacte el seu rècord de nocauts amb un nocaut tècnic a la sisena ronda de l'excampió del món de pes pesat Bermane Stiverne..



Després d'una primera volta emocionant, Joyce va obrir l'acció a la segona amb una dreta recta monstruosa i va descarregar de campana en campana contra un Stiverne indefens., que va continuar donant cops malgrat menjar trets perjudicials. Després d'una sèrie de combos al minut inicial del tercer, Joyce va atrapar Stiverne amb la mà dreta recta per enviar-lo a la lona per cinquena vegada en la seva carrera professional.. Stiverne va sobreviure a la ronda mentre llançava tirs en bucle, però no va tornar cap cop de puny significatiu.



Joyce, la 2016 Medalla de plata olímpica, establir constantment una potent recta just darrere d'un cop esquerre precís i efectiu durant tota la lluita. Amb Joyce (8-0, 8 KOs) continuant jugant contra un Stiverne en gran part indefens, l'àrbitre Howard Foster va intervenir per aturar el concurs a 2:26 del sisè. Stiverne (25-4-1, 21 KOs) no va protestar per l'aturada.



"Gran respecte a Stiverne, com un veritable campió, és molt dur i encara estava llançant tirs, però suposo que era una mica massa,", va dir Joyce. “Es tractava de tenir paciència. És un noi tan dur que va fer aquests trets sense cap problema.



"L'estava colpejant amb tot el que tenia, inclosa la pica de la cuina. Vaig escoltar l'Abel (Sánchez) a la cantonada, va fer tot el que va dir i va anar bé. El meu cop va ser realment efectiu. Sóc un veterinari experimentat. Vaig agafar el meu equilibri i em vaig mantenir tranquil al llarg del camí.



“Venen coses grans. El meu proper serà per a l'AMB Regular (Títol) i aviat tornaré al gimnàs. Necessito tenir un parell de baralles més com aquesta i després estaré preparat per als grans campions".



Durant l'emissió de dissabte es van presentar els aspectes més destacats del debut de l'excampió del món Lee Selby en pes lleuger. Un antic campió de pes ploma, Selby (27-2, 9 KOs) va superar un cop de cap accidental de la segona ronda per guanyar una decisió unànime de 12 rondes (116-112, 116-112, 115-114) sobre Omar Douglas (19-3, 13 KOs).



Aquesta nit/dissabte a les 10 p.m. ET / PT a SHOWTIME EXTREME, diumenge a les 9 a.m. ET/PT a SHOWTIME i dilluns a les 10 p.m. ET / PT a SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Això és el que van dir els combatents i els seus respectius campaments durant la roda de premsa de dijous a Intercontinental a The O2:



James DeGale:

"Vaig deixar el meu títol per a baralles com aquesta. Chris Eubank ha estat cridant el meu nom durant molt de temps i finalment tinc l'oportunitat de donar-li un cop de puny a la cara.



"No li tinc cap respecte. Cap. Aquest noi és un idiota diluït. I dissabte a la nit no puc esperar per tractar-lo. Vindré i li donaré com cal. No pot boxejar. Tots hem sentit això abans.



"Aquesta és la lluita més gran de la seva carrera. És temps de jubilació. Qui perdi aquesta lluita s'ha acabat. És fer o morir dissabte... La seva lluita per la jubilació és aquí. És la seva última baralla, Els prometo que.



"Estic provat. He estat allà, fet això. Ho he guanyat tot. No ha fet res. I el retiraré.



"Eubank és un lluitador dur, és fort. Té molts bons atributs, però sóc massa bo per a ell. Per barrejar-ho i anar al cim cal més que força i duresa. Cada vegada que ha augmentat, ell està perdut.



"La por de perdre és perquè sé què hi ha al joc. Això és fer o morir. Si no el puc vèncer, si no puc vèncer a Chris Eubank Jr., He acabat.



"Molta gent pensa que he vist dies millors. Molta gent pensa que estic en declivi. He tingut problemes en el passat, però sincerament puc dir que estic totalment en forma. Estic en la millor forma que he estat durant molt de temps, molt de temps, física i mentalment. Quan sento que no em pot vèncer ningú.



"Si no puc vèncer a Chris, vol dir que em disparen, això vol dir que estic al turó".



CHRIS EUBANK JR.:

"Aquest noi és un vagabund. Parla un bon joc. Ho passarà bé, però al final del dia seré massa per a ell.



"Tots dos estem en una etapa on no podem perdre. Tots dos estem lluitant per la nostra carrera. Ell sap que no em pot manejar. Es pregunta a si mateix, ‘Puc sobreviure?’ I la resposta és absolutament no.



"No hi ha res que pugui fer en aquest ring que jo no pugui gestionar. Vaig a encaixar-li el cap.



"Ara tinc un entrenador a temps complet. Per primera vegada en la meva carrera, Tinc un entrenador dia rere dia centrat en l'estratègia per preparar-me per al que és James: un zurdó astut. Per això estic tan confiat. Si vol córrer, tenim el pla de joc. Si vol estar dret i balancejar-se, tenim el pla de joc. Tenim un pla per a tot.



"El que importa és que la carrera de James s'acabi en pocs dies. Li vaig enviar un missatge després de perdre [George] Groves dient que ha de seguir el ritme perquè algun dia lluitarem. I ara que per fi som aquí, li miro als ulls i no veig cap tipus segur.



"És el meu moment. Espero el millor que ha estat mai i això encara no serà suficient.



"Sóc un lluitador a nivell mundial. Tothom en el joc de boxa ho sap. Aquesta és la meva oportunitat per demostrar-ho d'una vegada per totes per aclarir el rècord i demostrar que sóc el veritable negoci. Sé que aquesta és una lluita decisiva en la meva carrera. És fer o morir i estic preparat per a això.



"James sap el que ve. Al final de la dia, les seves últimes actuacions no han estat a l'alçada, però crec que no respectava la seva [passat] oponents. Em respecta, i el respecto i per això és una lluita real.



"He estat en el joc durant molt de temps, però això és només el començament d'un llarg viatge per a mi. Aquesta és la meva lluita més gran. He de guanyar. Si guanyo, Torno a l'escenari mundial. Vencer a James DeGale em prepara per a un títol mundial, que és la raó per la qual vaig començar en aquest joc".





JIM MCDONNELL:

"Hi ha nivells a la boxa. Chris era un bon prospecte, però no està al mateix nivell que James. Esbrinarà què cal per ser campió del món. James DeGale està a nivells per sobre de Chris Jr.



"Chris pot tenir tot l'empenta que necessita, però no té les habilitats per vèncer a James DeGale.



"Sé que James no està perdent. James DeGale és probablement el millor lluitador britànic que he vist al meu país".





CHRIS EUBANK SR.:

"He vist el cim de James i és embriagador. Amb Chris, no s'ha aplicat tot el que he dit. Potser s'ha sentit, però no aplicat. El que he dit funciona. no ho tindria 19 el campionat guanya si no ho fa.



“No estic convençut [Chris guanyarà] perquè James DeGale té pedigrí. Ser un [olímpic] Medalla d'or i antic campió del món és real. Respecto les habilitats de l'home. Junior no.



“El meu fill mira l'aspecte físic de la boxa i, des del punt de vista físic, No crec que hi hagi ningú que pugui estar amb ell. Però la boxa no és només física, també és espiritual, i aquí és on falta el Junior. No sé si ell té això.



“Això és un 50/50 lluitar i per primera vegada estic petrificat de quin pot ser el resultat. Estic petrificat que Junior no guanyi aquesta lluita.



"Aquesta és la saviesa d'algú que ha estat aquí. Mai subestimes el teu oponent en funció de les actuacions anteriors. Qualsevol que pensi que aquest tipus està en un tobogan a causa de les actuacions anteriors està cometent un error.



“Des d'un aspecte físic, Júnior té el avantatge. Des d'un vessant espiritual i pedigrí, En Jaume té el avantatge, i per això això és un 50/50 lluita.



"Sé que en Chris ha après i anem a veure què es produeix. Pot ser una lluita brillant".





Paulie Malignaggi:

"M'agraden les nostres oportunitats. Conec el noi amb qui he estat al campament. Les coses que he vist, m'agrada. Aquest cop són molt més positius.



"No pots subestimar un tipus com Eubank. Sempre ve a guanyar. Però, independentment del pla de joc, hi ha una certa mentalitat i el meu noi la té. És medalla d'or i sap quina mentalitat portar dissabte.



"James ha guanyat dos grans títols mundials, una medalla d'or olímpica. Chris ha tingut algunes bones victòries, però quan va arribar a aquest nivell d'elit, va perdre. Chris és un bon lluitador, però no ha superat aquest nivell d'oposició".

DeGale, de 33 anys, va ser el primer boxejador britànic a guanyar una medalla d'or als Jocs Olímpics i un campionat mundial com a professional.. Va guanyar el seu títol mundial amb una decisió unànime sobre Andre Dirrell 2015 i va fer dues defenses reeixides abans de lluitar per l'empat contra Badou Jack 2017. DeGale va venjar el seu desembre 2017 pèrdua davant Caleb Truax per recuperar el seu cinturó de pes súper mitjà de la FIB a l'abril 2018 per SHOWTIME. Després de desallotjar voluntàriament el cinturó, DeGale va aturar el veterà Fidel Muñoz la seva última vegada fora.

 

Eubank Jr., de 29 anys., fill de l'antic campió mundial de dues divisions Chris Eubank, està molt motivat per desafiar per més títols mundials després de perdre una decisió unànime davant George Groves pel cinturó de pes súper mitjà de l'AMB fa un any. La rivalitat entre DeGale i Eubank s'ha produït des de fa diversos anys després d'una sèrie d'enfrontaments. El duet s'ha enfrontat al gimnàs i ha intercanviat diverses cops verbals a les xarxes socials. Eubank, que ha estat entrenant a Las Vegas al Mayweather Boxing Club, ha guanyat nou dels seus últims deu baralles i ha registrat nocauts en vuit d'aquestes victòries.

 

La Joyce de 6 peus, de Londres, Anglaterra, ha començat la seva carrera professional amb un 100 percentatge de KO després de convertir-se en professional 2017 a l'edat de 32. Un aficionat consumat, Joyce va guanyar la medalla de plata de pes superpesat per a la Gran Bretanya al 2016 Jocs Olímpics. Joyce, que entrena a Big Bear, Califòrnia. sota el reconegut entrenador Abel Sánchez, va noquejar a Joe Hanks 2:25 de la primera ronda en la seva última lluita al Deontay Wilder vs. Cartell de Tyson Fury.

 

Stiverne (25-3-1, 21 KOs), que va ser el primer boxejador nascut a Haití a posseir una peça de la corona de pes pesat, va guanyar el títol del CMB amb un convincent TKO a la sisena ronda sobre Chris Arreola el 2014. Aleshores Stiverne va perdre el cinturó en la seva següent lluita contra Deontay Wilder, tot i convertir-se en el primer lluitador a endur-se la distància a l'actual campió nord-americà. L'home de 40 anys no ha lluitat des de la seva pèrdua a la 2017 revancha contra Wilder, però està ansiós per recuperar-se amb una victòria declarada sobre la molt apreciada Joyce.

JOYCE FACES ACID TEST AGAINST STIVERNE AT THE O2

Undefeated British sensation Joe Joyce faces Former World Champion Bermane Stiverne

Defends Commonwealth title alongside return of Former World Champion Lee Selby on massive DeGale v Eubank Jr. targeta, LIVE on ITV Box Office

Fast rising star makes fearless move in just EIGHTH pro fight to fast track towards World Title

Stiverne says it will be Joyce’s nightmare when he gets knocked out

Legendary promoter Don King promises to ‘Re Joyce’ when Stiverne recreates McCall victory over Lewis in London

Londres(23 Gener 2019) Poxon Sports and PBC are delighted to announce that heavyweight sensation Joe Joyce will defend his Commonwealth title in the biggest test of his unbeaten career when he takes a gigantic leap up to confront the Former WBC World Champion Bermane Stiverne on Saturday 23rd February at The O2, exclusively live on ITV Box Office.

Joyce vs. Stiverne, promoted by Poxon Sports in association with Ringstar Sports and Don King Productions, will feature alongside the return of Former IBF World Featherweight Champion Lee Selby as one of the chief-supporting contests on an action-packed show, headlined with the thrilling all-British clash between fierce rivals James DeGale and Chris Eubank Jr.

The 6ft 6in ‘Juggernaut’ from Putney, South West London, has destroyed all seven of his opponents since turning professional in October 2017 after capturing the Silver medal at the Rio Olympics and has singled himself out as one of the most feared talents in the heavyweight division.

It’s a monumental test for Joyce to be facing a former World Champion in just his eighth fight, the rock-solid and sledge-hammer hitting Stiverne, born in Montreal, Canadà, of Haitian descent and based out of Las Vegas, has fought some of the biggest and best in the division, including Deontay Wilder and Chris Arreola.

The fight has added bad blood thrown in resulting from a sparring session between Joyce and Stiverne in which Joyce was angered by comments from Stiverne in an interview afterwards when he said he took Joyce to school.

Joyce said, “I had respect for Bermane Stiverne. We sparred in Las Vegas; he said he took me to school in an interview etc, it got ugly and it made this fight happen. I tried to be respectful of him, but he’s rude and was having none of it. He is a former World Champion that has gone 12 rounds with Deontay Wilder and will give me a real challenge; but my engine and my power will be too much for him, a fact he should be aware of!"

Joyce’s promoter Richard Schaefer, President i conseller delegat de RingStar Sports, dit, “After only seven fights Joe Joyce has become the number five ranked Heavyweight in the world. But the spectacular way in which he has won all of his seven fights by knockout have made him the number one fan favourite in the Heavyweight Division. Taking on the heavy-handed Former World Champion Stiverne shows that no challenge is too big for Joe as he continues to march towards the Heavyweight World Championship. Simply put: Joe Joyce has become must see TV, so make sure to tune in on February 23 or come and watch him live at the O2 in London!"

Stiverne DiRita, “I told my promoter Don King to get me any man on earth and I will fight for the right to prove myself to the world. Then the phone rings, it’s Don, he tells me Joe Joyce – a boxer with only seven bouts – agrees to meet me! ‘Seven bouts?’. Seven fights and he has the audacity to box me? I have stopped Chris Arreola, Ray Austin, the then undefeated Kerston Manswell – and a boxer with seven fights wants to box me?!.’ I said to Don ‘Sign it, take it, grab it,’ I’m ready. Seven fights – and he wants to box me? For me it is a dream come true – but for Joyce it will be a nightmare. I will knock out Joe Joyce and step over him to KO Anthony Joshua. I’m primed and ready. The real Bermane Stiverne will be there on February 23 and will knock out Joe Joyce en route to regaining my heavyweight crown.”

Stiverne’s legendary promoter Don King, addicional, “It is with my greatest pleasure that Don King Productions can announce our return to Jolly Old England – the ‘Cradle of Boxing” where my pugilistic giant – the Former Heavyweight Champion of the World Bermane Stiverne begins his comeback at the expense of the Giant Joe Joyce. Unfortunately, for the local fans of Joe there will no ‘re Joycing’ – as my once – and future champion Bermane Stiverne will slay Joyce just like St. George did the dragon of old. But no matter, we will pick up the pieces and bring back Joyce just as I have brought back and helped build many a future together. I recall when I came here with Oliver McCall and he was given no chance against Lennox Lewis. Then the underdog became the top dog when Oliver KO’d the previously unbeaten champ and we went home with the title. History will repeat itself of February 23 when Bermane sends another undefeated Englishman to defeat. Now retooled, resuscitated, renewed, rejuvenated and recommitted Bermane Stiverne will resurrect his career on February 23 when the ‘Lord of Ring” crushes the “Lord of the World” – ‘Juggernaut” Joyce on his inexorable march to regain the heavyweight championship of the world. Bless all British fans, God Save the Queen – but heaven help Joe Joyce! We will see you on February 23rd.”

WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder also put forward his thoughts on the intriguing match up, ell va dir, “Joe Joyce will be a good test for him (Stiverne). I’ve seen Joe Joyce before. Ell és un bon boxejador. Joe Joyce fought Joe Hanks on my undercard with Tyson Fury but I didn’t get a chance to see him fight that night. But I’m looking forward to seeing him against Stiverne.”

Richard Poxon, UK Promoter for PBC, dit, “I’ve known Joe from his amateur days up in Sheffield. His success at the Olympics didn’t surprise me at all. He’s transitioned well to the pros now and is clearly in a hurry. The heavyweight division is the one that everyone is looking at again and I fully expect Joe to be in the thick of the action in the coming year. Taking on a former WBC World Champion in only your eighth fight clearly shows what Joe’s ambitions are.”

Since embarking on his pro career in his quest to become World Heavyweight Champion, the quietly spoken Joyce has let his destructive fists do the talking in making bold statements to make the boxing world sit up and take notice of the fast-rising star.

A l'octubre 2017 he astounded critics when he choose to fight the hardened Former British title challenger Ian Lewison, who had just extended big-punching Dillian Whyte to ten rounds, for his pro-debut and pounded him down in eight rounds.

Then in only his fourth fight with only 12 rounds under his belt and inside seven months of turning pro, Joyce demolished the Commonwealth Heavyweight Champion Lenroy Thomas in just two rounds – setting a new record by heavyweight boxer to win the Commonwealth belt.

En la seva última baralla, American fights fans got a brief taster of what the British star is all about when he smashed through Joe Hanks in a round to win the WBA Continental title at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles in making his glittering U.S debut.

J

oyce, now ranked #5 in the world by the WBA and progressing quickly towards a World Title shot, faces unquestionably his sternest career test to date against the vastly experienced and equally big-hitting Las Vegas based Haitian who has knocked out 21 opponents of his 25 wins in his 29 lluitar carrera.

Stiverne formerly held the WBC crown for two years after defeating Chris Arreola on points in April 2013 to win the title and then in the rematch destroying him inside six rounds in the first defence of the title in May 2014.

The rock solid Stiverne then pushed the dynamite-punching Deontay Wilder the full twelve round distance in the next defence of his WBC World Heavyweight title clash in January 2015. Stiverne became the first man to take Wilder beyond who at that point had obliterated all his opponents inside four rounds. In the rematch nearly three years later, Stiverne stepped in at the last minute when Wilder’s original opponent Luis Ortiz failed a drugs test and due to his inactivity was stopped in a round.

Stiverne is now looking to return to the elite heavyweight mix and a victory over Joyce would propel him back into the limelight and on course towards a potential world title opportunity.

LAS VEGAS (Abril 7, 2018) – Jarrett Hurd unified the 154-pound division with a 12-round split-decision victory over Erislandy Lara in an all-action fight Saturday on SHOWTIME before a sold-out crowd of 2,579 at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

 

 

 

 

Hurd (22-0, 15 KOs), who entered as IBF Champion, dethroned WBA Champion in just the seventh unification in division history. The difference in the Fight of the Year candidate was a short left hook that floored Lara in the final minute of the fight. Had the 27-year-old Hurd not scored the knockdown, the fight would have been ruled a majority draw.

 

 

 

 

“It was a tough one, but I went out there and did exactly what I said I was going to do – fight all 12 rounds and get the victory,”Hurd va dir. “I didn’t feel like that (I needed the knockdown). I feel like I was in control the whole fight, applying the pressure.

 

 

 

 

“I don’t think it had anything to do with age. I think it was me and the game plan we had to apply the pressure.”

 

 

 

 

Following the thrilling bout, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray asked Hurd if he’d like to face WBC 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo, who was ringside, to further unify the division.

 

 

 

 

“’Swift’ isn’t ducking anyone,” Hurd responded. “I’m No. 1 ara. We’re calling the shots.”

 

 

 

 

Hurd applied relentless pressure from the opening round, pressing forward against the crafty southpaw. He pounded the body, yet often neglected defense and ate punishing counter shots for 11 rondes. But the difference for Lara (25-3-2, 14 KOs), who was making the seventh defense of his title, was the brutal 12º ronda. With blood seeping from a swollen right eye, Hurd connected on a short left hook that floored Lara for the first time in nearly five years.

 

 

 

 

“Besides the last round, I thought I was winning this fight easily,” Lara said. “That’s not to decide the fight. Jo estava guanyant la baralla. One punch in a fight doesn’t determine the fight.

 

 

 

 

“Va ser una gran baralla per als aficionats. I stood there, fought and it was fun. I thought I clearly won the fight. Once again a decision goes against me, but h​ey we just have to do the rematch.”

 

 

 

 

Entering the fight, Charlo was the consensus No. 1 fighter at 154-pounds. He stated his case for a chance to unify against Hurd.

 

 

 

 

“I’m down. Anem. We want that work,” Charlo told SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING host Brian Custer. “I feel Hurd only took the fight with Lara because he realized the harder fight is with Jermell Charlo.

 

 

 

 

“We’ve been there before with Lara. I know what he possesses. Hurd has to get his defense together because he cannot get hit like that by me. Lara doesn’t move like he used to. If he moves like he used to he wins that fight.”

 

James DeGale earned back the IBF Super Middleweight World Championship with a unanimous decision in a rematch with Caleb Truax, taking back the title he lost last December in the near-universal upset of the year.

 

 

 

 

The 12-round championship affair was scored 117-110 i 114-113 dues vegades. Degale, who was deducted a point in the 10º for pushing, won the championship rounds – 11 i 12 – on all three judges’ scorecards to win the decision.

 

 

 

 

“Two-time world champion. Se sent molt bé,", va dir DeGale. “But full credit to Caleb – he shows he can mix it with the top fighters.

 

 

 

 

“I’m just happy that I’m a two time world champion and I got my IBF world title back. He tornat, Team Chunky, we’re back. Two-and-a-half years I had it and I lost it to Caleb. He embarrassed me, but we’re back.”

 

 

 

 

Degale (24-2-1, 14 KOs) overcame a massive cut from an accidental head butt in the third, which was mistakenly ruled as the result of a punch from referee Robert Byrd.

 

 

 

 

“I couldn’t see from my right eye, DeGale said. “I like Robert Byrd (referee), but today he was a bit wrong. I couldn’t see. But I’m just glad I got through it. I showed some heart. En la meva última baralla, I was like a weak little kid.”

 

 

 

 

DeGale connected on 37 percentatge dels seus cops de poder en comparació amb 28 percent for Truax. He now returns to London a world champion with some massive potential fights in the future.

 

 

 

 

“I want to be busy,", va dir DeGale. “I have a couple years left in this sport.”

 

 

 

 

Truax (29-4-2, 18 KOs), who fought for the first time as a world champion, was disappointed and advocated for a rematch after the scores were announced.

 

 

 

 

“I thought I did enough to win the fight, but I also thought I was pretty flat and didn’t get my shots off like I wanted,” Truax said. “I was just a little bit flat. I felt really good coming in but I just couldn’t get my shots off like the last fight. El mai em va fer mal, però és el que és.

 

 

 

 

“I gave him a rematch straight away so why not do it again.”

 

 

 

 

In the opening bout of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING tripleheader, Julian Williams scored a career-best win, defeating Nathaniel Gallimore via majority decision in an IBF Junior Middleweight World Title eliminator. Williams, who edge Gallimore 116-112, 117-110, 114-114, is now in position to challenge Jarrett Hurd.

 

 

 

 

Williams (25-1-1, 15 KOs) set the pace with a strong left jab in the opening rounds of the fight, keeping Gallimore at bay and the action on the outside. That changed around the fifth round as Williams abandoned the jab and the fight moved to the inside. Williams had his best round in the 11º, connecting on a massive left hand that set up a barrage of combos that nearly had Gallimore out on his feet. Gallimore (20-2-1, 17 KOs) survived the round, and Williams wasn’t able the finish him in the 12º, but it was clear Williams deserved the decision.

 

 

 

 

“I wasn’t surprised a judge had a draw,” Williams said. “Sometimes when you’re fighting real close like that, it is hard for judges to score. I knew I won. Once I heard 116-112 i 117-111, I knew I won because I knew he didn’t win eight rounds.

 

 

 

 

“He is a strong fighter, but I knew he was going to do what he did. Start strong early, but I knew he wasn’t strong after six rounds.

 

 

 

 

“The hits to the body was all in the game plan. You have to go to the body in a 12 round fight.”

 

 

 

 

Williams connected on 50 percent of his power shots and landed 37 per cent dels seus cops totals.

 

 

 

 

 

“I didn’t really think I won the fight,” Gallimore admitted. “I just let too many early rounds go. I just gave him too many rounds. I had him hurt a couple of times, but he was tough. I should have done more combinations. I will look at the fight and review it, and will make adjustments.”

 

 

 

 

Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will replay on Monday at 10 p.m. ET / PT a SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Vanity Nightclub at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas:

 

Erislandy Lara

 

 

 

“Everyone knows I love to fight his style. I’ve fought better and taller fighters than him and you’ve seen me dominate them. It’s going to be nothing different on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“I want him to come forward. That’s what I’m prepared for. I’m going to give him a lessonon Saturday night.

 

 

 

“I have to give Hurd credit for taking the fight. It’s been hard to get fighters in the ring with me. There’s no need to talk because on Saturday we will find out everything we need to know.

 

 

 

“Everyone here talking from Hurd’s team can’t get in the ring with him. It’s different once you’re in the ring with me. You’ve never been in a big fight. We’ll find out what you have Saturday night. Ara, you’re all talk.

 

 

 

“I’m absolutely ready for this fight. This is going to be a great battle for the fans on SHOWTIME. I’m excited to get in the ring and finally unify the decision. I’m preparing to make history.

 

 

 

“I haven’t watched much video on Hurd, but as we saw from the Trout fight, he’s very hittable. Vine dissabte a la nit, he better have worked on some defense or it won’t last very long.

 

 

 

“I don’t want to hear anything about Jermell Charlo, because Jarrett Hurd is the one who stepped up. El diumenge, Charlo can sign the contract and we can get ready to rumble.”

 

Jarrett Hurd

 

 

 

“Lara has been the longest reigning champion and he was on top when I first turned pro. We’ve studied him a lot. I didn’t get into this sport to be anything but number one. Lara is the top guy, but after Saturday night, it’s going to be me.

 

 

 

 

“Ha estat un gran camp d'entrenament. We’re well prepared. This is the fight I’ve been asking for. After I beat Tony Harrison, Erislandy Lara had some words on Twitter for me. So I’ve wanted the fight since then. Somebody has to pay for that.

 

 

 

“This fight is coming at the right time for me because my confidence is very high right now. He’s a little older so I’ll be the younger and fresher fighter. I just feel like it’s my time. I’m going to be relentless. I’m not stopping until I get what I want.

 

 

 

“Lara is a veteran with a lot of experience. He knows how to win rounds and he can make you look bad no matter how good you are. I’m going to use my own awkward style and do what I do best.

 

 

 

“With my power and skill set, I can stop any fighter in the division. That definitely includes Erislandy Lara.

 

 

 

“Lara has great discipline in his game plan. No matter if he’s up on the cards or down or anything, he’s not going to switch it up. It’s hard to break a fighter when they’re disciplined like that. We have a plan for everything though and we’re confident that we’ll come up with something that will get us the victory.

 

 

 

“Lara is a guy who can’t take pressure fighters well. I have some of the best pressure in the game. Jo sóc més jove, més fort, taller and longer. He’s not going to be able to run for 12 rondes.

 

 

 

“Nobody wanted to fight this guy. I stepped up to the table because I know what I can do. He’s living the ‘American Dream’, but my dream has just begun. Saturday night I’m going to show you why nobody can survive 12 rounds with Jarrett Hurd. There’s a storm coming.”

 

CALEB TRUAX

 

 

 

“I’m honored to be here with these great fighters and back on SHOWTIME. Training camp was perfect for this fight. This is the longest camp I’ve had in my career and the most focused I’ve been.

 

 

 

“I just want to go out there and silence people who said it was a fluke the first time I won. I want to prove that I belong at the top of the division. I’m going to put on a good show for the fans and retain my title.

 

 

 

“We’ve had four months to prepare for James DeGale. Normally I have six to eight weeks, so it was nice to have a drawn out and specific training camp. We really focused on the conditioning and making sure I’m reaching my peak.

 

 

 

“I’ve been through a lot in this sport. I’ve fought top guys in big fights but it finally came together last December. It meant a lot to me and now I’m prepared to put on an even better performance. I know DeGale is going to be hungry so I have to be ready for him.

 

 

 

“I had a great camp this fight. I knew we were going to have a rematch so I was right back in the gym in a couple of weeks. My trainer put together a great plan to help me improve and prepare for what DeGale is going to improve on. I’ll be ready for him to be 100 per cent.

 

 

 

“I just want to get to Saturday night and put on another great performance to retain my belt. I’m going to give it my all to bring that belt back home to Minnesota.”

 

James DeGale

 

 

 

“My last performance was horrendous. It was shocking and embarrassing. I’m not going to make excuses about my shoulder and what went wrong. Dissabte a la nit, I will be a two-time world champion. Els prometo que.

 

 

 

“I’ve boxed at the top level my whole life and put on some good performances. I know what was wrong with me and why I performed how I did in the first fight. I’m going to put it to rest when I become a world champion again.

 

 

 

“It’s been a long, difficult training camp. I had a gray cloud above my head the last couple of months, but I’m ready to go become a world champion again on Saturday.

 

 

 

“This time has turned me into a beast. I’ve had to take everything even more seriously than before. I might have gotten a bit complacent being a champion those last few years. I’ve locked myself down and I’m ready to go.

 

 

 

“diria jo 90 percent of the loss was because of what I didn’t do. I looked past him. I came back too quick from the injury, but he still had to get in there and take my belt. There’s no disrespect to Caleb, but I’ve fought the very best of the division and come out on top. The real James DeGale will be back on Saturday.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be a dominant performance on Saturday. If I don’t beat Truax and beat him easily I can’t get to the level that I want. I know that’s what is coming. No excuses.”

 

JULIAN WILLIAMS

 

 

 

“We had a really good camp. I didn’t want to get into the trash talk this camp. He’s a solid fighter and I don’t underestimate anyone. But he seems like a bully. You can’t bully me. He’s obsessed with me on social media. I just have to focus on what he can do as a fighter.

 

 

 

“He’s a nobody who wants some attention. I’m going to give him lots of attention on Saturday night. I’m going to shut this guy up.

 

 

 

“He’s going to lose every single round and probably get stopped late. Every time he gets pushed he loses, gets a draw or gets knocked down. I’m drowning him in deep waters.

 

 

 

“I’m calm right now but also anxious to show everyone what I have. I know I’m a world class fighter, I just have to go do it. I’m making sure I stay patient right now.

 

 

 

“He lost to a journeyman, got a draw with a journeyman and got dropped by a journeyman. There’s nothing else to say. I’m taking him out on Saturday.”

 

NATHANIEL GALLIMORE

 

 

 

“Saturday night is judgment day and it starts with ‘J-Pebbles’. It’s going to be a night to remember for me.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be a spectacular fight. I’m going to demolish him in grand fashion. He’s never faced anyone like me before. When I touch him, s'ha acabat.

 

 

 

“You better worry about what’s going to happen to you on Saturday night. It’s going to be nasty. This fight is going to show everyone who I am in this division.

 

 

 

“I had the best training camp of my entire career. We covered all the bases. Saturdaynight I’m going to wipe the smile off his face. You think Charlo hits hard? You’re going to see on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“This opportunity is huge. The division is mine for the taking. I study my opponents and I stalk them in the ring. Everyone will see what’s going to happen on Saturday.”

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

 

 

 

“This is a great card from top to bottom. We have none other than the longest reigning 154-pound world champion, Erislandy Lara, taking on one of the toughest tests of his career in the very exciting, young and hungry world champion Jarrett Hurd.

 

 

 

“The co-main event is another important fight with a rematch featuring Caleb Truax, who will be looking to hold on to the belt he took from James DeGale last year, while DeGale will look to get back to where he was before they met last December.

 

 

 

“The show opens up with a high-octane 154-pound title eliminator with Julian Williams and Nathaniel Gallimore. This is the fight that could really steal the show. The winner of this fight will no doubt have their eye on the winner of Saturday’s main event.

 

 

 

“These are some of the best fights that can be made in each weight class. We can’t wait for everyone to see these fighters put it all on the line on Saturday night.”

Això és el que els combatents havien de dir dimecres:

 

Erislandy Lara

 

 

 

 

“Everything in training went how it was supposed to. We did our job and now it’s time to fight. I did everything in the gym that I needed to prepare for anything that Hurd can bring.

 

 

 

 

“All of my opponents are taller than me. His size means nothing to me. I have the experience and I’m the best boxer in the division. He’s never seen anything like me.

 

 

 

 

“He has to beat me to get the top spot in this division. I’m here to make sure that doesn’t happen.

 

 

 

 

“I’ve earned everything in this sport the hard way. I’ve fought the tough fights for no money. I think everyone knows how talented I am and that I belong up there with the best in the sport.

 

 

 

 

“I don’t watch film in training camp. A fighter can look one way on video, but totally different in the ring. He has to prepare for what I’m doing. I’m not worried about what he brings. I saw a little bit of his fight against Trout while I was warming up to fight Terrell Gausha, but that’s about it.”

 

Jarrett Hurd

 

 

 

 

“There was something in me that always wanted this fight. Once I defended my title against Austin Trout, I was quick to get on top of this opportunity.

 

 

 

 

“Això serà una baralla difícil. Lara is the type of fighter who has a lot of experience. It won’t be easy so I have to be well prepared and on top of my game come Saturday night.

 

 

 

 

“We’ve been in the gym working a lot on our hand movement and footwork. I took too many punches against Trout and I knew what it was going to take to make those improvements.

 

 

 

 

“Every fight is the most important fight of my career because I’m protecting this undefeated record. This is going to be a tough fight but I promise I’m going to give it my all and bring it to Lara all night long.

 

 

 

 

“Being back in Vegas and back at Hard Rock where I beat Frank Galarza to really get this whole journey started means a lot to me. I’m planning to give everyone a great show just like I always do.

 

 

 

 

“No matter what kind of fight he brings; I’m going to stick to my game plan. He has to fight at my pace. No matter what he comes with, I’m going to be in charge in the ring.

 

 

 

 

“It’s always going to be fireworks when I’m in the ring. I have a fan-friendly style. Al final de la dia, you don’t have to worry about Lara running away, because I’m going to be in his face for 12 rondes.”

 

CALEB TRUAX

 

 

 

 

“I think DeGale has been making excuses. He couldn’t stop talking about how great his shoulder felt heading into our first fight. Then right after the fight he said he felt fine. Now I guess he came back too early. He was in a tough fight not too long ago, so we’ll see how he is on Saturday night.

 

 

 

 

 

“I’m prepared for a better James DeGale. I took his belt and I know he’s going to come back hungry. I expect him to give it his all to get it back. He’ll be in top form.

 

 

 

 

“As far as I know, I’m still an underdog for this fight. A lot of people think I was a fluke the first time around, so it’s up to me to prove them wrong. I’m ready to silence the critics and silence DeGale.

 

 

 

 

“I felt like I was going to win the whole time, but a lot of people said it was one of the biggest upsets in British boxing history. It still hasn’t really sunk in. Nothing has really changed. I’m a busier man but I still keep it really low key.

 

 

 

 

“Boxing isn’t a huge sport in Minneapolis because it’s such a great sports scene. Hopefully my win on Saturday and Jamal James on April 13 on PBC on FS1 will get some more kids into the gyms.

 

 

 

 

“There were plenty of things that I had to improve on after the first fight. I’ve had four months to really dig down and prepare for this fight. I’ve known the rematch was coming and I’ve been able to get ready.”

 

JULIAN WILLIAMS

 

 

 

 

“I had a really good camp. I really was just focused on getting better and moving forward in my career. I got a lot of great rounds in with some quality fighters and it was a really productive camp.

 

 

 

 

“I love fighting in Las Vegas. The electricity is always there and the fans are always welcoming. I love putting on a show for these fans.

 

 

 

 

“I think Gallimore has performed decently against the competition he’s had. He got beat by a journeyman and had a draw with another journeyman. He seems to have gotten hot at the right time, but we’ll see if he brings it on Saturday night.

 

 

 

 

“He’s backing himself into a corner. He has to back up those words he’s saying. Overall I think he’s a solid fighter, a good test and it should be an entertaining fight.

 

 

 

 

“Va dir que em noquejarà, but that’s really the only way he could possibly win. One lucky punch. That’s all he’s banking on. I’m going to out class him and out dog him.

 

 

 

 

“I’ve always known I had guts, I’ve always known I’m a really good fighter with all the tools to become a world champion. I didn’t need to learn anything about myself after the loss, I just had to correct some things and move forward.”

 

NATHANIEL GALLIMORE

 

 

 

 

“I feel great right now, I’m ready for the world to see the improved ‘Nate The Great’. I treat every fight like a world championship fight. Julian Williams has nothing for me. He has to worry about what I bring to the table. Dissabte a la nit, it’s going to be judgement day. The truth will come out.

 

 

 

 

“Aquesta baralla significa molt per a mi. This is what I’ve been dreaming about since I was a little kid. This is my chance to become great. I’m going to show the world I’m a different beast in the 154-pound division.

 

 

 

 

“I’m bringing total domination for this fight. I don’t care what he’s training for. He could be training on Mars. He has to get up to my level. I’m tearing him apart.

 

 

 

 

“I’m taking this fight so seriously. Julian Williams is quiet now, but he was loud before he fought Jermall Charlo. He has to figure out who he is. I’m going to show the whole world.

 

 

 

 

 

“The game plan is to show off my whole arsenal. We’ve covered everything in the gym. I’m a different animal. Everyone in this division better look out for me. They’re going to have to crown me real soon.”

Julian Williams Training Camp Notes

Super Welterweight Contender Takes on Nathaniel Gallimore Saturday, Abril 7 in 154-Pound Title Eliminator Live on SHOWTIME from Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas

SAN CARLOS, TAL COM (Març 30, 2018) – Top super welterweight contender Juliano “J-Rock” Williams will look to put himself closer to another world title shot when he faces Nathaniel Gallimore in a 154-pound world title eliminator Saturday, Abril 7 live on SHOWTIME from Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas.

 

 

 

L'esdeveniment Premier Boxing Champions està encapçalat per Erislandy Lara, el campió del món amb més temps amb 154 lliures, clashing with undefeated champion Jarrett Hurd in a highly anticipated 154-pound world title unification bout. La transmissió de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING comença a les 10 p.m. ET / 7 pm. PT and also features super middleweight world champion Caleb Truax in a rematch against former champion James DeGale.

 

 

 

The 12-round IBF title eliminator gives Williams a chance to earn a second world title fight, while it would be Gallimore’s first shot at the title. Gallimore has been outspoken in his belief that he will stop Williams, but Williams has chosen to not let the words affect him and focus on the task at hand.

 

 

 

“I have no reaction to the talk coming from Gallimore,” va dir Williams. “He’s trying to draw attention to himself and doing it in a classless way. If he wants a back-and-forth, he’s going to be talking to himself.

 

 

 

“He seems like he’s a strong fighter, but you never really know until you step in the ring with a guy. He’s on a hot streak, he’s a big puncher and obviously he has a lot of confidence. We thought this would be a good test and I think it’s going to be a great fight for the fans.”

 

 

 

Williams is currently finishing up training camp at the SNAC gym in San Carlos, California with trainer Stephen Edwards. In addition to work in the first part of training in Philadelphia with DeCarlo Perez and Jaron Ennis, he has sparred with the likes of Peter Quillin, Prenice Brewer and Joey Spencer in California.

 

 

 

“I’ve been coming out to California for parts of camp since 2014 and it’s really just something that gives me a bit of a spark heading into the fight,” va dir Williams. “There are some elevation and recovery aspects of training that we can do out here. It’s also a good way to get away from things and really dig to another level.”

 

 

 

Williams has been on the road back to title contention after dropping his first title shot to Jermall Charlo in 2016. Williams knew that he did not need to revamp his entire game and has recovered with victories over former champion Ishe Smith and Joshua Conley leading into this fight.

 

 

 

“I thought I was doing well in the Charlo fight so I never pushed the panic button after it didn’t go my way,” va dir Williams. “Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. The plan was always to improve each fight and each day in camp, so that’s what we’re still doing. We’ll see on April 7 if it’s enough.”

 

 

 

With an opponent who enters this fight on a seven-fight knockout streak, Williams knows he will have to use all of his physical and mental skills to pull out the victory.

 

 

 

“It’s going to be up to me what this fight looks like,” va dir Williams. “In the ring you have to be mature. I can’t get drawn into the kind of fight that he wants. If I stay focused, I should dominate him.

 

 

 

“I’m never going to look past anybody. I know that there’s nothing I can do in my future in this sport if I don’t beat Gallimore. I’m ready to go in there and look impressive on April 7.”
