Uncasville, Conn. - maart 13, 2021 - Voormalig tweevoudig wereldkampioen David Benavidez hield zijn perfecte ringrecord intact met een 11th-ronde technische knock-out overwinning tegen veteraan Ronald Ellis in hun WBC Super Middleweight Title Eliminator main event op de uitzending van SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING op zaterdagavond, live op SHOWTIME van Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., in een Premier Boxing Champions-evenement.

Phoenix's Benavidez (24-0, 21 KO) flitste briljante handsnelheid, nauwkeurigheid en kracht terwijl hij Ellis domineerde (18-2-2, 12 KO) van Lynn, Massa., over 11 rondes voordat scheidsrechter Johnny Callas eindelijk het gevecht afzwaaide 2:03 van de voorlaatste ronde. De 24-jarige ster had een aanzienlijke voorsprong op alle drie de scorekaarten (99-91, 98-92 x2) op het moment van de stopzetting.

“Ik beoordeel mijn prestatie redelijk goed, maar ik weet dat ik het beter had kunnen doen,”Zei Benavidez, die zijn perfecte staat van dienst uitbreidde naar 24-0. “Ronald Ellis is een lastige concurrent. Ik hoop alleen dat de fans het leuk vinden wat ze zagen. Ik gooide veel combinaties, stoten in trossen. Ik dacht vaak dat Ellis zou stoppen, maar dat deed hij niet. Petje af voor hem, hij is een stoere vent. Het was iets later dan ik wilde, maar een onderbreking is nog steeds een onderbreking. Ik hoop dat de fans vanavond een goede show hebben gekregen. "

Een wonderkind boksen werd de jongste wereldkampioen super middengewicht in de boksgeschiedenis, Benavidez leverde een meesterlijke prestatie, zoals blijkt uit zijn punch-statistieken, landing 289 van 532 krachtige stoten gegooid voor een oogverblindende verbindingssnelheid van 54%. Benavidez heeft verbinding gemaakt 50 stoten in de 11th ronde die uiteindelijk leidde tot de staking. Beide vechters gecombineerd om te gooien 1,403 stoten. Na zijn dominante overwinning op SHOWTIME, Benavidez is een stap dichter bij het terugwinnen van een super middengewicht wereldtitel.

'Ik wil alle grote jongens,”Voegde Benavidez eraan toe. 'Ik spreek ook voor de fans, ze zouden me graag zien tegen alle grote jongens, want zoals je kunt zien, Ik hou van stoten. Ik hou ervan mensen te stoppen, dus ik zou tegen een grote naam een ​​geweldig gevecht zijn. Ik wil [Jermall] Charlo, Canelo Alvarez, Caleb Plant, allemaal."

Ellis, 31, toonde enorme vastberadenheid en een zeer stevige kin terwijl hij de constante aanval van de voormalige tweevoudige wereldkampioen absorbeerde. Vaak aan het werk terwijl Benavidez op de actie drukte, Ellis is geland 89 zijn 334 jabs.

'Ik had de prik kunnen laten knallen en de dingen een beetje meer kunnen beheersen en me niet door hem laten smoren,”Zei Ellis. "Hell yeah, ik wilde het afmaken. Ik wilde hem die voldoening niet schenken. Ik had een beetje meer kunnen bewegen en niet zoveel schoten op het hoofd kunnen maken. Petje af voor hem. Hij deed wat hij moest doen. Hij me nooit kwaad, dat is het grappige. Ik heb veel foto's gemaakt, maar hij heeft me geen schade berokkend of super gekwetst. Ik heb er nooit aan gedacht om te stoppen. "

De sportwereld verloor vandaag een icoon toen de dood van Marvelous Marvin Hagler werd gemeld uren voordat de live uitzending begon. Een lid van de International Boxing Hall of Fame, Hagler, wie was 66 jaar oud, vochten in het eerste hoofdevenement ooit op SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in maart 10, 1986. Hagler werd geëerd met een ceremoniële 10-count voorafgaand aan het hoofdtoernooi van vanavond. Klik hier om SHOWTIME's eerbetoon aan Marvin Hagler te bekijken

Benavidez dacht na over het overlijden van Hagler na het gevecht: “Ik had Marvin al eens eerder ontmoet en hij was een groot kampioen. Iemand vertelde me dat hij het eerste gevecht op SHOWTIME vocht. Iemand van mijn team liet me een paar uur voor het gevecht weten dat hij voorbij was. Het is triest en hij zal worden gemist. Hij was een echte legende. "

In de co-main event, Isaac Cruz (21-1-1, 15 KO) van Mexico City behaalde een unanieme beslissing over de overwinning op Argentinië Matias Romero (24-1, 8 KO) in een WBA Lightweight Title Eliminator van 12 ronden. Het was de eerste keer dat de 22-jarige Cruz vertrok 12 rondes in zijn professionele carrière. De scorekaarten van de juryleden worden gelezen 114-113, 115-112 en 118-109. SHOWTIME's onofficiële scorer Steve Farhood scoorde het gevecht 115-112, rondes geven 10 door middel van 12 naar de rijzende ster.

"Ik ben niet blij met de stijl van het gevecht, maar ik ben tevreden dat ik de overwinning mee naar huis heb genomen en we zijn bij de. 1 plek in de WBA,"Zei Cruz. "Ik wist niet wat er ging gebeuren [voor zover de rechters]. We hebben het gevecht te allen tijde geforceerd en het zou voor de juryleden zeer onmogelijk zijn geweest om me iets aan te doen toen ik degene was die het gevecht aandreef. "

Gedurende de 36 minuten durende affaire, Cruz oefende constant druk uit op zijn tegenstander wat leidde tot Romero, de meer doorgewinterde professional, buitensporig vasthouden in een poging de druk af te remmen. Ondanks dat hij regelmatig werd gewaarschuwd door scheidsrechter Harvey Dock, de 24-jarige Romero werd nooit bestraft. Tijdens de ruige wedstrijd, echter, Cruz zat in de zesde ronde een punt vast voor een lage slag.

"Hij was een vechter die geen klappen wilde uitwisselen,'Voegde Cruz eraan toe, met betrekking tot de aanhoudende clinchen. 'Ik was de clinches erg beu - er was nooit een waarschuwing voor hem. Ik heb daar mijn best gedaan. Niet de beste manier waarop ik het wilde doen, maar godzijdank hebben we het gevecht gewonnen en nemen we de overwinning mee naar huis. "

Romero gaf gedurende het gevecht een effectieve prik, landing 89 van 282, maar het was Cruz 'krachtpons die hem uiteindelijk de overwinning opleverde. Kruis, wie is nu de Nee. 1 kanshebber voor een wereldtitel geschoten 135 pond, geland 145 van 459 macht stoten, inclusief 91 lichaamsschoten.

"Ik ben duidelijk niet blij met de beslissing,”Verklaarde Romero na zijn eerste professionele verlies. 'Ik dacht dat het misschien een gelijkspel was. Over het algemeen ben ik tevreden met mijn prestatie. Hij zou de ‘Pit Bull’ moeten zijn en ik ging het hele eind. Je moet de kansen grijpen wanneer ze worden aangeboden en ik wou dat ik meer tijd had gehad om me voor te bereiden op dit gevecht. "

In de openingswedstrijd van de avond, Cleveland's Terrell Gausha (22-2-1, 11 KO) scoorde een indrukwekkende technische knock-out in de tweede ronde op mede-Ohioan Jamontay Clark (15-2-1, 7 KO) van Cincinnati. Gausha, 33, landde geen enkele krachtige stoot in de openingsronde maar werkte goed achter de prik, het winnen van de ronde op twee van de scorekaarten van de juryleden. Toen de tweede ronde zijn voltooiing naderde, Gausha verzette zich prachtig tegen een uitval van de linkerhand van de linkshandige Clark die de 26-jarige voor het eerst in zijn professionele carrière naar het canvas stuurde.. Clark versloeg de graaf, maar werd even later opgevangen door een spervuur ​​van onbeantwoorde stoten in de neutrale hoek. Scheidsrechter Arthur Mercante sprong erin en stopte het gevecht bij 2:44 van de tweede ronde.

'Ik wist dat Jamontay een stoere jongen was, Ik kijk naar hem sinds Cleveland, dus ik wist al van hem,Zei Gausha. "Ik had het gevoel dat ik de kans had om hem knock-out te slaan, maar ik wist niet hoe het gevecht zou verlopen. Maar ik heb het gevoel dat ik het goed heb gedaan, voerde het spelplan uit. Mijn coaches hadden film gestudeerd en we executeerden.

'Ik heb gewoon mijn tijd genomen,”Voegde Gausha toe. 'Ik was vallen aan het zetten. Ik wist dat hij uiteindelijk open zou zijn, maar ik moest ook voorzichtig zijn, want hij is een slanke man, heeft een goede linkerhand. Maar ik wist dat er gaten in zijn spel zaten en we executeerden en wanneer de gelegenheid zich voordeed, we hebben die grote rechterhand geland. "

Met zijn nadrukkelijke onderbreking wint, de 2012 Olympian komt naar voren als een kanshebber voor een titelschot in de superweltergewichtdivisie. In zijn eerste en enige binnengeschoten wereldtitel 2017, Gausha liet een unanieme beslissing vallen aan de huidige wereldkampioen superweltergewicht Erislandy Lara.

'Ik weet dat ik vanavond een verklaring heb afgelegd,”Voegde Gausha toe. 'Ik heb de divisie op de hoogte gebracht. Ik ben op slot en geladen en ik ben er klaar voor. Ik wil wereldkampioen worden, dus ik ben op zoek om te vechten tegen wie ik moet vechten om bij de gordels te komen. "

Zaterdag Showtime Championship Boxing uitzending zal zondag opnieuw worden afgespeeld om 8:55 a.m. ET / PT op SHOWTIME en maandag om 10 p.m. ET op SHOWTIME EXTREME.

Three-Hour Premier Boxing Champions Show Features Jamal James Delivering Second Round Knockout of Mahonry Montes in Front of Hometown Crowd Friday Night on FS1 & FOX Deportes from The Armory in Minneapolis

Laat een reactie achter

MINNEAPOLIS (Augustus 24, 2018) – Weltergewicht mededinger Jamal James (24-1, 11 KO)gave his hometown crowd a treat as he sent Mahonry Montes (35-8-1, 24 KO)to the canvas for a second round knockout in the main event of a jam-packed three-hour night of Premier Boxing Champions action Friday fromthe Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

 

 

 

“I came out here to make a statement and I’m even happier to be able to do it right here at home,” said James. “The support in Minnesota is amazing and it gave me the extra motivation to get the job done in spectacular fashion. Everyone knows I attack the body and tonight I was able to use it to get the finish”

 

 

 

In his second straight fight at the Armory, James made a statement by quickly dispatching Mexico’s Montes with a punishing left hook to the body that left his opponent crumpled on the canvas.

 

 

 

James broke through in the last 30 seconds of the second round, landing numerous unanswered right hands that put Montes in immediate trouble. James finished the show with the devastating body shot that eventually forced referee Mark Nelson to halt the bout at 2:58 van de round.

 

 

 

“I feel like I’m ready for the elite welterweights and tonight proved it again,” said James. “I’m going to keep working hard and taking down anyone they put in front of me. It’s time for me to make my mark in the division.”

 

 

 

In de co-main event, middengewicht mededinger Willie Monroe Jr. (23-3, 6 KO) showed off his boxing skill and picked apart Javier Francisco Maciel (33-7, 23 KO) to score a unanimous decision in their 10-round bout.

 

 

 

Monroe was dominant with his jab, movement and an array of offensive attacks. He was able to vary his punches enough to keep the aggressive Maciel from landing anything that caused damage.

 

 

 

Maciel looked to score with power punches and body shots, but the former title challenger Monroe was comfortable on the outside and mixing it up inside on his way to winning the fight by scores of 99-91 en 100-90 tweemaal.

 

 

 

The opening bout of the telecast featured fast-rising prospect and 2016 Litouwse Olympian Eimantas Stanionis (7-0, 5 KO) as he earned a unanimous decision over Levan Ghvamichava (18-4-1, 13 KO)in their eight-round welterweight matchup.

 

 

 

Stanionis rode a powerful jab and sharp combination punching to the dominant victory as he faced the toughest opposition of his pro career to date. Ghvamichava was game and tried to counter the hard-charging Stanionis but was too often taking the worst of exchanges on the inside. At the end of the action all three judges saw the bout in favor of Stanionis by scores of 80-72 en 79-73 tweemaal.

 

 

 

Additional action saw Jeison Rosario (16-1-1, 11 KO) score a unanimous decision over Jamontay Clark (13-1, 7 KO) in their 10-round super welterweight bout.

 

 

 

Rosario scored a highlight reel knockdown with a counter right hand in the third round that saw Clark tumble out of the ring. Clark was able to return to the ring and beat the count, but he took more damage throughout the bout before losing the decision by scores of 99-90, 98-91 en 97-92, all in favor of Rosario.

 

 

 

A scheduled heavyweight bout ended in shocking fashion before it ever began, as heavyweight prospect cartoon Ajagba (6-0, 5 KO) was awarded a victory by disqualification against Curtis Harper (13-6, 9 KO) when Harper exited the ring moments after the opening bell rang, opting not to face Ajagba.

 

 

 

Prelims on FS1 and FOX Deportes saw rising super welterweight prospect Sebastian Fundora (10-0, 6 KO) stop Antonio Urista (10-3, 2 KO)bij 2:22 of the fourth round, ongeslagen super weltergewicht Leon Lawson (8-0, 4 KO) win een unaniem besluit over Brandon Adams (4-7-1, 2 KO) in their six-round fight and unbeaten prospect Gary Antonio Russell (12-0,10 KO) score a first round knockout of Nick Otieno (31-15, 13 KO) net 1:18 in de ronde.

The 30-year-old James has picked up three-straight victories since suffering the only loss of his career – a unanimous decision defeat to Yordenis Ugas in August 2016. He returns to downtown Minneapolis looking to keep his momentum going towards the top of the welterweight division.

 

 

 

“I’m in camp training hard for another thriller at home against a pressure fighter in Mahonry Montes,” said James. “I’m going to use my height, range and skills to show that I’m hungry and keeping my eyes on the prize. Once I get past Montes, a big name is going to have to fight me. I’m right on the road to a world title challenge.”

 

 

 

De 28-jarige Montes (35-7-1, 24 KO) has challenged everyone from world champions to top rising prospects throughout his pro career and enters this bout having scored knockout victories in consecutive fights. Representing Sinaloa, Mexico, Montes owns a victory over welterweight contender Francisco Santana in a fight last year that saw Montes drop his opponent on the way to a decision victory.

 

 

 

“I’m am so excited to have this opportunity against Jamal James,” said Montes. “My last loss was unfortunate because I thought I had my opponent hurt, but I’ve picked up a couple of wins since then and have been training very hard. I’m ready to show everyone that I belong with the best fighters in the world. I’m never in a bad fight and I’m going to show the fans in Minnesota how a real Mexican fights.”

 

 

 

A two-time title challenger, Monroe (22-3, 6 KO) has faced current titlists Gennady Golovkin and Billy Joe Saunders in his forays into championship fights. The 31-year-old from Rochester, New York has defeated Gabriel Rosado, Brian Vera and John Thompson since 2015 to earn multiple opportunities at the middleweight title. Monroe most recently won a dominant decision over Carlos Galvan in March.

 

 

 

Fighting out of Virginia, Aleem (18-1-1, 11 KO) stopped Juan De Angel in the sixth-round of their May fight to get back in the win column after his first defeat in a bout against Hugo Centeno Jr last August. The 24-year-old had stopped then unbeaten Ievgen Khytrov in the sixth round of a January 2017 fight that became a Fight of the Year nominee prior to the Centeno fight.

 

 

 

De 23-jarige Clark (13-0, 7 KO) has used his height and reach to establish himself as a fast-rising prospect on his way to contender status. The Cincinnati-native had two impressive victories in 2017, first defeating then unbeaten Ivan Golub and then a decision victory over Domonique Dolton last November as he came out victorious against his toughest pro opponent so far.

 

Rozenkrans (15-1-1, 11 KO) fights out of Miami but is originally from the Dominican Republic. Rosario suffered his first defeat last year at the hands of Nathaniel Gallimore, but has rebounded to be undefeated in his last four fights. This run has seen the 23-year-old fight to a draw with Mark Anthony Hernandez in February before defeating Justin DeLoach and dropping him twice on his way to a decision victory in May.

LOS ANGELES (Juli 28, 2018) – Mikey Garcia became the 10th lightweight champion to unify the division with a unanimous decision against Robert Easter Jr. Saturday on SHOWTIME, and immediately afterward set his sights on boxing’s best, namely Errol Spence Jr.

Full fight highlights here: https://s.sho.com/2LzlnJ6

 

 

 

 

All three judges scored the fight in favor of Garcia,118-109, 117-110, 116-111, in an electrifying fight in front of 12,560 fans at Staples Center in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

 

The four-division world champion Garcia (39-0, 30 KO) – who was fighting in his native Southern California for the first time in seven years – keeps his 135-pound WBC title, and also claims Easter’s IBF Lightweight belt

 

 

 

 

“I’m here for the biggest challenges,”Zei Garcia, 30, who unified a title for the first time in his career. “I don’t know if there is anyone that is a bigger challenge than Errol Spence. I know he’s up to fight everyone so let’s make it happen. I think it can be made. I think that’s the next big fight coming up.

 

 

 

 

“I feel I have the power and the skillset to compete in any division up to welterweight. He’s the toughest guy at welterweight so I want to face him.”

 

 

 

 

Garcia scored a knock down in the third round against Easter (21-1, 14 KO) van Toledo, Ohio, who was sent to the canvas for just the second time in his career. A strong right jab put Easter out of position, immediately followed by a devastating left hook sent Easter down with 24 seconds remaining in the round.

 

 

 

 

Garcia got better as the fight progressed. In the final four rounds Garcia out-landed Easter 95-34 in total punches and ended the fight being the more active fighter throwing 555 punches to Easter’s 507. He connected on nearly 40 percent of his power shots while Easter landed at a 24 percent clip.

 

 

 

 

“It’s a great accomplishment being here in L.A.,” Garcia said. “I was in control most of the fight, and I did what I had to do. I knew he was a tough opponent. He’s a tough warrior. He gave a great fight but I was a better fighter. I was in control of the fight and I did what I had to do to win.”

 

 

 

 

Pasen, who went into the Garcia locker room after the fight to congratulate his opponent, was gracious in defeat.

 

 

 

 

“Whenever we step in the ring we are both putting our lives on the line and tonight Mikey was victorious,” said Easter, who entered the fight as the longest reigning champion at 135 pond. “I just couldn’t find the timing and I just couldn’t let my right hand go. He caught me with a clean shot and I went down, but I got up like a true champion.”

 

 

 

 

 

During an interview at the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING host desk, Spence, a fellow top-five pound-for-pound great, said he would “definitely” welcome a fight with Garcia. “I feel like that’s the best fight available for me right now with Shawn [Slijtage] and Danny [Garcia] fighting in September. Keith Thurman is still recovering and needs a tune up.

Full interview here: https://s.sho.com/2veXH1T.

 

 

 

 

“He’s daring to be great, he wants to be great, he wants to move up and dethrone me and it’s not going to happen. It’s definitely going to be an easy fight. [Garcia] will be pound-for-pound No. 1 if he beats me. He has great skills but I see myself winning. I don’t really see anything that concerns me. He’s technically good, but I don’t see him hurting me at 147.”

 

 

 

 

Heavyweight southpaw Luis Ortiz (29-1, 25 KO) returned to the ring with a resounding victory, scoring a devastating second round knockout (2:08) of former world title challenger Razvan Cojanu (16-4, 9 KO)

 

 

 

 

Ortiz landed 42 procent van zijn power shots (eight of 19) while Cojanu landed just two of 13 (15%) in the short fight.

 

 

 

 

Ortiz was emotional after the fight. He told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray that just five days ago he learned doctors have found a cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa, a disease his daughter suffers from.

 

 

 

 

“Thanks to God they found a cure for my daughter’s disease," zei Ortiziz. “My wife told me while I was boarding the plane to get here. It’s been hard to be away from them. I’m happy I won, but it’s been really hard to be away from them.”

 

 

 

 

 

Both fighters were coming off losses in heavyweight world title fights. Ortiz was fighting for the first time since challenging Deontay Wilder in a 2018 Fight of the Year kandidaat. The 6-foot-4 Ortiz wasted little time knocking out the 6-feet-7½, 269-pound Cojanu, returning for his first fight since challenging then-WBO Heavyweight Champion Joseph Parker.

 

 

 

 

 

“In my mind King Kong has not been defeated. I don’t feel I lost against Deontay Wilder. I want to fight [Anthony] Joshua, but he only fights boxers he’s sure he can defeat. I’m going to ask the government to put me on disability, maybe that way Joshua will fight me.”

 

 

 

 

In de uitzending opener, Mario Barrios (22-0, 14 KO) remained undefeated recording his sixth straight stoppage with an eighth-round TKO of Jose Roman (24-3-1, 14 KO) in a scheduled 10-round welterweight match. Each of the judges, as well as SHOWTIME expert scorer Steve Farhood, scored the fight 80-70 in favor of Barrios at the time of the stoppage as Roman’s corner didn’t answer the bell for the ninth round.

 

 

 

 

San Antonio’s Barrios relied on effective body work in dominating the fight, aansluiten op 61 zijn 133 lichaamsschoten. He connected on 44 procent van zijn macht stoten (104/239) in vergelijking tot 26 percent for Roman (34/132), who had just five body shots on the night.

 

 

 

 

"[Body work] is something I’ve been able to work on,” Barrios told Gray in the ring. “You put the body work in early and by the end of the fight they have nothing left. That worked perfectly for this fight. This was the farthest I’ve gone in a while. It was great work and I feel like I’m transitioning to the fighter that I always thought I’ve be.”

 

 

 

 

Buurten, who suffered a cut above his left eye in the first round, sent Roman to the canvas at 1:15 of the fourth round with a strong right that dazed Roman, then a left hook that put Roman down for the seventh time in his career. Barrios ended the round with a flurry of punches that left Roman stunned.

 

 

 

 

 

The 23-year-old Barrios sent Roman down again with 1:38 remaining in the eighth round. Roman survived the round, but his corner refused to answer the bell and the fight was over.

 

 

 

 

“I feel I’m ready [for a title shot)],” Barrios said. “I feel strong. I feel fast. Ik ben jong, but whatever my managers throw at me I’m ready. If I could get it tomorrow, I’d take it.”

 

 

 

 

 

It was a star-studded night at Staples as current and former world champions attended the fights, including Jarrett Hurd, Errol Spence Jr., Leo Santa Cruz, Abner Mares, Gervonta Davis and Adrien Broner.

 

 

 

 

 

Shawn Porter was also in attendance. It was recently announced that Porter and fellow former 147-pound world title holder Danny Garcia will square off against one another for the vacant WBC Welterweight World Championship live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Zeven. 8 van Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y..

 

 

 

 

“I’m just a different type of athlete,” Porter told SHOWTIME’s Brian Custer. “When you talk about having the tools to become a two-time world champion; I have the tools, the athleticism, the tenacity the ring generalship. You will see all of that on Sept. 8.

 

 

 

 

 

“We always say that the business has to make sense [to make fights], And it sounds to me like the business has played its part. I win the WBC Championship and you’ll get Shawn Porter vs. Errol Spence.”

 

 

 

 

 

In streaming coverage of live undercard fights on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN, undefeated super lightweight prospect Fabian Maidana (16-0, 12 KO), the brother of former champion Marcos Maidana, recorded a seventh-round stoppage (2:32) against former world title challenger Andrey Klimov (19-5, 9 KO).

 

 

 

 

 

Also on the live stream, 2016 U.S. Olympian and unbeaten prospect Karlos Balderas (6-0, 5 KO) dominated 54-fight veteran Giovanni Caro (27-24, 21 KO) scoring a stoppage at 2:09 of the fourth round in a scheduled six-round super featherweight bout.

 

 

 

 

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

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Conga Room at L.A. Live-:

 

MIKEY GARCIA

 

 

 

“This will be my first title unification match. It means a lot to face another unbeaten champion. It will help my legacy and my career. I’m taking the proper steps to move forward and cement my name for the ages.

 

 

 

“There isn’t another fight in front of me right now that gets me excited other than this one against Robert Easter Jr. He’s going to come with everything he has. This is definitely his biggest fight and I believe we’ll be able to bring the best out of each other.

 

 

 

“Me and Robert Easter Jr. are the only unbeaten champions in the division. So in my eyes, the winner is the best fighter in the division.

 

 

 

“I’m very happy to be fighting again in Los Angeles. It’s been seven years since I fought here. To give fans a chance to see this big fight live at STAPLES Center is a great thing. I’m very thankful that we could have the fight here. Most opponents wouldn’t have come here.

 

 

 

“I’m coming back to STAPLES Center as a world champion and I have a chance to unify in my hometown. There’s nothing better that I could ask for. I’m going to do everything I can to come out victorious on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“I’m glad that Robert is confident coming into this fight. I believe that he will show up the best possible version of himself. That’s what gets me even more motivated and excited for this fight.

 

 

 

“I’m here to take the biggest fights and biggest challenges. I will be at welterweight very soon and I look forward to taking on the best there. Everyone says not to do it, and that’s what excites me and motivates me the most.”

 

ROBERT PASEN JR.

 

 

 

“I really don’t pay attention to being ‘overlooked’ or what my opponents say leading up to a fight. Op juli 28 we still have to get in there and throw these hands. Nothing said by him or anyone outside bothers me at all.

 

 

 

“The only big name Mikey Garcia has beaten is Adrien Broner. I’m going to give him problems. I believe with our skills and record, the winner of this fight is the best fighter in the weight class.

 

 

 

“This can add big attention to my career. It can help me get the recognition that I deserve. I look at all my fights like a big fight, but obviously this is unification. You will see two warriors in there on Saturday.

 

 

 

“It’s been a long time since I made my pro debut at STAPLES Center. You’re going to get a lot of action and excitement on Saturday night. Expect the unexpected.

 

 

 

“I had such a great training camp with coach Cunningham and my dad. It was all boxing all the time and really what I needed heading into a matchup like this.

 

 

 

“Everyone will be able to see my hard work pay off on Saturday night. I’m not the one who likes to talk about it, I want to show everybody what I got.

 

 

 

“These are the kind of fights that I’ve always wanted to be a part of. It’s a big fight that I know the fans are going to really enjoy. I’m going to give them something to remember.

 

 

 

“Being the underdog is what it is. Only one of us can be the favorite. We did what we had to do to prepare for this fight and on July 28 you’ll see it all in action.”

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother and Trainer

 

 

 

“There’s always risk in any fight. We’re very well-prepared for this big challenge and Mikey is in a great place mentally. Easter is a tall guy who I’m sure will try to use his reach and fight from the outside. But we’ll be ready for whatever he brings.

 

 

 

“This is obviously a big fight for Mikey against another elite boxer. When two undefeated guys are unifying, it’s always big. We had great sparring partners who prepared Mikey to be at his very best.

 

 

 

“We’re ready for the best Robert Easter possible. I’m not even looking at his past two performances. We’ve done what we had to do to be ready for this fight and the best version of our opponent.”

 

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Easter’s Co-Trainer

 

 

 

“Robert has always been a tremendous fighter and an excellent boxer when he wants to box. We just put extra emphasis on how we want to fight Mikey Garcia. Robert has the natural skill and ability, plus the size and reach to get this done.

 

 

 

“We’re prepared to dictate the tempo, control distance and range and do everything we want to do. We’ve done it so far in camp and we’re going to bring it into the ring on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“It’s obvious for the last couple of weeks that Garcia has been talking more about future fights than this fight on Saturday night. I look at that as him overlooking Easter. Echter, Mikey is a pro with a seasoned trainer so I doubt he’s being totally overlooked. He better be ready.”

 

ROBERT EASTER SR., Easter’s Father & Co-Trainer

 

 

 

“I always feel very confident about Robert’s chances every time he steps into the ring. We had a good camp and I know he’s ready. He’s always ready, just like he’s been for every fight leading up to this one.

 

 

 

“This fight is going to live up to the hype. Robert is going to go out there and show the world what he is really made of.

 

 

 

“We’re going to go out there and get the win. We’re going to impose our game plan on Mikey and make it a really long night for him.”

 

LUIS ORTIZ

 

 

 

“My hunger and motivation to become world champion has not changed at all. My opponent is very big, but in the ring everyone is the same size. We’re going to be smart and I’m going to do my job on Saturday night.

 

 

 

“The Wilder fight is what it is. It’s the past now, and I don’t regret it. At the end of the day I want the rematch and I believe I deserve the rematch. They’re still running from me and they’re obviously running from Wilder, but I’m running from no one.

 

 

 

“A victory on Saturday night will put me back in line for the rematch with Deontay Wilder. Fighting is what I know how to do, and that’s what I’m coming to do on Saturday night. We’re both hungry for a win and we will see who comes out on top.

 

 

 

“I learned that I need to train even harder, fight harder, throw more and connect more. If I hadn’t been fatigued, I’d still be punching him today. I threw the clock away at the gym. We’re going to be smarter going forward.”

 

RAZVAN COJANU

 

 

 

“I am very ready for this matchup. When we got this call, I was already in shape. We just had to make the adjustment to fighting a southpaw. We have about a month of really fun sparring leading up to this fight.

 

 

 

“I feel very comfortable against the southpaw, especially one that everyone is familiar with like Ortiz. I know I have the skills to take home the victory.

 

 

 

“The Wilder vs.. Ortiz fight was a great fight and I congratulate him for that performance. I saw plenty of things that I can expose. The main thing is the sharp one-two combination that gives him trouble.”

 

MARIO BARRIOS

 

 

 

“This is definitely the toughest test of my career. I’m very happy to have this big fight. This is going to be the breakout performance that I’ve been looking for.

 

 

 

“Whichever title is available to me is the title we’ll go after. It doesn’t matter who I have to face, Ik zal klaar zijn. I’m gunning for the very best.

 

 

 

“This is a great opportunity to make my debut on SHOWTIME. This is a card packed with talent, but I plan on stealing the show. I’m going to show everyone the kind of fighter that I am.

 

 

 

“I know that Roman is going to come to fight but so am I. I can’t wait to fight in this building. All the greats have fought here and I can’t wait to put on a great show.”

 

JOSE ROMAN

 

 

 

 

“Buurten’ best weapon would be his speed and his range and I think we have the perfect game plan to oppose it. I know that I have to be patient in there because I have a difficult opponent. I’m doing this for my family and no one can stop me.

 

 

 

“A win over Mario Barrios would be huge for me. The fans can come in there expecting a war between two Mexican warriors who will leave it all in the ring.

 

 

 

“When I’m not fighting I’m going to Cyprus College and majoring in Mathematics. I’ve been really good at math since I was a kid. I’m on a great track right now in my boxing career and in life.”

 

RICHARD SCHAEFER, Voorzitter & CEO van Ringstar Sports

 

 

 

“This is a top to bottom amazing card. It’s a boxing spectacular taking place here at STAPLES Center. We have a little bit of everything on this card. That includes talent from Robert Garcia’s gym, meer 2016 U.S. Olympian Karlos Balderas, who I believe will one day be headlining at STAPLES Center one day.

 

 

 

“The televised portion of this card has a stellar lineup as well, including an undefeated Mario Barrios, who represents Texas well and makes his state proud. He’s one of the most exciting fighters in the division and will have a tough challenge in Jose Roman.

 

 

 

“Luis Ortiz is the kind of fighter that you just don’t want to miss a minute of when he fights. He is coming off of one of the best fights of this year, when he challenged WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.

 

 

 

“The matchup between Mikey Garcia and Robert Easter Jr. is the cherry on top of an amazing night. I know that these fighters are ready to entertain and showcase their talent.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & event Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.

 

 

 

“There are fighters who say they want tough fights and then there are fighters who actually take tough fights. There’s a big difference between these two. Mikey Garcia and Robert Easter Jr. are the fighters who actually take the top fights.

 

 

 

“This is the third world title unification on SHOWTIME this year. No other network has delivered this level of fights to boxing fans. That’s more world title unifications than all the other networks combined this year.

 

 

 

“Mikey is a top pound-for-pound fighter and Easter is the longest reigning champion at lightweight and probably the most avoided fighter in the division. No one is rushing to fight either of these guys, nog, this was an easy fight to make.”
