CARSON, CALIF。(五月 29, 2021)  - nonito Donaire主场 又是冠军. 在他赢得第一个世界冠军的十四年后, “菲律宾闪电侠”以惊人的第四轮KO胜利巩固了他的名人堂资格诺丁·乌巴利周六晚上在卡森 Dignity Health Sports Park 举行的 SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING 主赛事中夺得 WBC 世界最轻量级冠军头衔, 加利福尼亚州. 在英超拳击冠军赛.

“国王回来了,” 多奈尔随后面带微笑. “我只是喜欢人群. 我所有的朋友, 家庭, 所有出来的拳击迷都非常感谢你们. 你们真是太棒了。”

38岁的多奈尔 (41-6, 27 科斯) 现在是有史以来最年长的世界冠军，体重 118 磅. 他用左手完成了它，因为他放弃了Oubaali，这是他职业生涯的名片 (17-1, 12 科斯) 一共三遍.

“在这个年龄不是问题, 这是关于我的表现,”多奈尔说. “关于我的成长能力. 我相信你的年龄并不重要, 但你的心理有多强大. 我从中学到的 [直哉] 井上的战斗是我回来了. 我仍然可以在这个级别上竞争. 一直以来我都没有战斗, 我在学习. 我已经准备好迎接下一场了。”

经过第一轮的感觉, 多奈尔二号上班, 走下 Oubaali 并用砰砰声反击. 多奈尔在第三节早些时候取得了第一次击倒, 用他标志性的反击左勾拳打掉 Oubaali. 法国人用不稳定的腿站起来，多奈尔猛扑过去, 登陆更多大球，直到另一个左勾拳在回合结束前一瞬间将 Oubaali 击倒. 再次, 乌巴利挣扎着站了起来, 茫然却愿意继续战斗.

结局在第四节来得很快. 多奈尔熟练地在环周围操纵欧巴利, 将他钉在绳索上，左勾拳让 Oubaali 第三次也是最后一次蜷缩在画布上. 裁判杰克·赖斯立即宣布取消. 停工的正式时间为 1:52 第四轮.

“成为世界冠军的三年. 九届世界冠军. 太棒了,”多奈尔说. “我来到这里，感觉非常好. 今天我确切地知道会发生什么. 我清楚地知道我要做什么. 我想我只是非常专注于健身房. 我很, 非常专注. 我只是感觉很好，很高兴能得到这个机会.

“今晚是我必须向世界证明的事情，我回来了，我比以往任何时候都更强大. 他是一个非常坚强的人. 我想最终对我来说, 我应该更有耐心? 或者我应该去做? 我在井上的战斗中学到的东西就是去杀人. 这正是我所做的. 我很有耐心, 但我知道他伤得很重，我可以带他出去。”

在共同特征, Puerto Rico’sSubriel Matias (17-1, 17 科斯) 交付了另一个动力冲孔显示器, 打破此前不败巴蒂尔·尤肯巴耶夫 (18-1, 14 科斯) 直到 Jukembayev 的角球在八轮铆接之后停止了比赛。

“我认为这是每个人都期望的. 每个人都知道这将是一场伟大的战争,”马蒂亚斯说. “这将以淘汰赛结束，无论我是要被淘汰还是朱肯巴耶夫会被淘汰. 我很高兴是我把他击倒了。”

马蒂亚斯将自己确立为堆叠部门中最好的之一, 但最近的胜利并不容易. 哈萨克斯坦的尤肯巴耶夫表现强劲, 从他的左撇子姿势在楼上降落右勾拳右勾拳组合，这在第一场就引起了马蒂亚斯的注意.

尤肯巴耶夫在第二节推动了步伐. 马蒂亚斯在第三节开始放手, 头部和身体组合投掷. 两名战斗人员现在已经完全热身, 为可能成为“年度最佳”候选人的第四轮比赛奠定基础。


它开始于一个坚硬的左勾拳使 Jukembayev 错开并把他带到画布上. 马蒂亚斯试图结束演出，但尤肯巴耶夫坚持了下来, 清了清头，开始自己投篮. 本节还剩一分钟, 尤肯巴耶夫左路传中马蒂亚斯. 而不是紧握, 马蒂亚斯以火相搏, 以脚趾到脚趾的动作将人群从座位上拉下来，直到铃声响起.

马蒂亚斯从未停止挺身而出. 继单边第六, 尤肯巴耶夫闭着双眼回到角落里. 在第七局中来回接踵而至，Jukembayev 在回合结束时用两个右勾拳击中了马蒂亚斯.

第八轮马蒂亚斯重回驾驶座, 用双拳猛击尤肯巴耶夫. 总, 他超过了尤肯巴耶夫 100 拳 (234/608 到 134 /409) 并且更准确 (38.5% 到 32.8%). 累积的打击足以说服尤肯巴耶夫的角球要求停止比赛.

“他知道他没有什么可失去的. 他进来了，一切都很坚强,”马蒂亚斯说. “他知道他所能做的就是把我淘汰出局. 我也会做同样的事情. 那是一颗勇士的心，他赢得了我所有的尊重.

“在第四轮之后, 我的意思是他是一个非常有竞争力的战士, 所以在那之后它变成了一场战争. 我的手也伸向他. 这是一个伟大的斗争. 我肯定还有其他非常出色的对手, 但这是给我最艰难的考验。”

在转播揭幕战, 加里·安图安·拉塞尔 (14-0, 14 科斯) 继续他的超轻量级排名上升. 不败的罗素成为第一个阻止崎岖的约瓦尼圣地亚哥 (14-2-1, 10 科斯), 统治圣地亚哥，直到裁判莎朗·桑兹在圣地亚哥角球的建议下在第六轮后停止比赛.

“目标是尽快把那个人救出来，毫发无损地出来,”拉塞尔说. “我只想说圣地亚哥是甲级对手. 很多人认为他击败了阿德里安·布罗纳. 我现在想要阿德里安·布罗纳。”

与哥哥和 WBC 世界羽量级冠军 Gary Russell Jr. 努力工作, 加里·安图安（Gary Antuanne）从开场钟开始控制动作. 该 2016 奥林匹亚刺拳，左撇子左撇子站姿, 第一次将圣地亚哥的头向后折断了好几次.

罗素, 24, 在第二个和第三个继续向左着陆. 早在第四, 他在楼上用一个短的右钩将圣地亚哥摔倒在膝盖上。. 波多黎各的圣地亚哥勇敢地站了起来，并在后续的猛攻中幸存下来，使其退出了回合.

“对我来说，重要的是逐轮执行, 和一轮轮, 我越来越多地执行. 我父亲叫我去尸体, 楼上右勾. 他对此持开放态度,”拉塞尔说.

尽管拉塞尔职业生涯第一次被延长到四轮以上，但并没有表现出放缓的迹象. 首都高地, 马里兰州. 产品在第六场击败圣地亚哥, 在整个框架中着陆惩罚组合. 过了一会儿, 比赛停止了.

“表演对我来说绝对重要，所以我不仅被称为加里·拉塞尔的弟弟,”拉塞尔说, 谁登陆 146 的 444 拳 (32.9%). “我来自优秀的战士背景. 我们正在建立一个王朝.

“我要多久才能回到擂台? 如果我能在 Deontay Wilder 牌上战斗, 那很好啊。”

这里是战士不得不周四说:

NORDINE OUBAALI

“是, we’ve sparred but training is training. When you go into a fight, it’s not the same. Every fight is different and I know on Saturday I will put on a great show with Nonito Donaire because I know he’s a good boxer but I know I’m the best. I trained so hard for this and now I’m ready to fight. I want to show everybody that the best two bantamweights in boxing today are fighting on Saturday.

“是, he’s had an outstanding career and he has power but I believe I have more power than him. I know I have the power. He’s a good boxer but I’m the world champion and on Saturday I’m going to show the world who is the best. I know I am the best. I respect Nonito. He’s had a good career but I’m the best in the division.

“The difference in the fight is going to be I want to win more. I want to continue to make history and stay as the world champion in this division. I know that it’s my time. I want this more than he does.

“If I’m victorious, why not have my next fight be for the unification? I want to make history every time and this is my motivation. I’m here because I love boxing and I want to face the best boxers every time. I’m facing Nonito Donaire and that’s great for my career. I just like to fight and this is my life.”

NONITO DONAIRE

“It would be great to win the title at 38 years old and become the oldest champion at 118 英镑, but let’s keep it going. Let’s make it 40. Let’s make it 42. There ain’t no stopping me. 精神上, I’m very grateful but at the same time I’m just very ready.

“I’m always healthy and the reason why I can compete with anybody is because I keep myself healthy and I work hard. There’s nothing less than 100 percent every time I’m in that gym.

“I’m very hard-headed so I don’t always do what people tell me to do. People can say that it’s their time. But I also have my time and I’m always going to be the one who concedes their time or makes that decision. It’s still my time.

“这将是一场伟大的战斗. Oubaali is the champion for a reason. He’s been through it in terms of the amateurs and making it here. So we’re not underestimating any of that. But I’ve fought in this venue many times and I always make magical fights in the first place. It’s always going to be magical with me. I’m a unicorn.

“The difference in this fight is going to be my hunger. He’s younger than me but I have the hunger. We both have an objective and that’s what’s going to make this a great fight.

“I want to fight the best out there. I want the rematch with Naoya Inoue and I want to get all the belts. The only thing I haven’t accomplished in boxing is becoming undisputed champion. I’ve done everything else. 年度战斗机. 年度淘汰赛. Multiple championships. 四分区冠军. You name it. 那是我的主要目标. Get the belt and put them all together.

“Bantamweight is my real weight. I’ve always fought in the heavier division because of the excitement, the challenge and the lucrative offer or the names at that time. 现在, I’m here where I belong and this is where I’m really strong.

“The layoff will not be a factor at all. The time off helped me out. Just being out of the ring helped my body recover. And the eagerness and the hunger is there more than ever. It was a blessing for me.”

SUBRIEL MATIAS

“I will be his toughest test without question and come Saturday night, everybody will find out why I’m saying that.

“I believe him when he says that he has the tools to get a stoppage on Saturday. But it’s not just a matter of saying, on Saturday night he has to prove it. If it’s going to come out of your mouth, then you have to prove it.

“We’re both knockout artists and with what we’re looking at, this fight should not finish by a decision.

“I don’t have much to say about that fight against Petros Ananyan. Those that saw me lose, I lost. There’s nothing I can say about it. But those that know boxing know that I’ve been progressing and improving and you all will see that on Saturday.”

BATYR JUKEMBAYEV

“我有一个伟大的训练营. I am ready for Saturday night. I know that he’s a good fighter but I promise that I will be ready.

“We will see Saturday night whether it’s going to end in a knockout. I’ll show you what I’m made of and you will all see.”

GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL

“I’m in the hurt business. He’s a slugger. If he wants to come in there and slug with me, he will feel my power. He will see how intelligent I am. Not just mentally, but physically with my hands. 就像我说的, I’m in the hurt business. I come to hurt.

“Pardon my lack of Spanish, but what you are going to see is, ‘la violencia.’ He’s going to bring his pressure. He’s going to bring punches in bunches and I believe that’s all he can bring. If he’s been training and trying to perfect himself for my style of fighting, that’s fine. You’re not supposed to come in here one-dimensional. A diamond shines from all sides.

“The only thing I can say is this venue is going to promote blood, sweat and tears and the desire of people to be great. I’m definitely one of them. I’ve been in the gym giving my blood, my sweat and my tears and I’m bringing all of that to this venue come Saturday night.

“I definitely want to stay more active. That’s always been my plan. The pandemic slowed things down. Fans always tell me they want to see me get back in there…I just tell them, me too. The fighters aren’t the ones pulling all of the strings. Should I be more active? 当然. I want to be more active.

“I want to show that I’m the cream of the crop. I’m a superstar. The light hasn’t been shining on me because there’s a lot of other things going on. 在此之前, you’re going to have to wait and see. Come Saturday, it will be a great show. There will be some sparks and fireworks. I have an opponent that’s not willing to lay down. If he’s not willing to, I must make him lay down.”

JOVANIE SANTIAGO

“I know that he’s a good fighter. An Olympian. He’s young and he’s going to come fight. I’m going to come to fight too, so if the fight finishes early, then it finishes early.

“I just have to work round-by-round, throw punches and win one round at a time. After I beat Russell, everybody is going to be on my side.

“This is my weight. This is where I’m most comfortable. I’ve always been a 140-pounder and Saturday that’s what I’m going to demonstrate.

“This time, I’m fighting at my actual weight. 我觉得强. I’m coming to work round-by-round and on Saturday everybody will see what I’m all about.”

这是新闻发布会参与者周四不得不说的:

ADRIEN BRONER

“I’ve had so many great performances and I’m looking forward to another great performance Saturday night. I know he’s coming to fight, he’s undefeated and he’s hungry. Anybody who fights a name like Adrien Broner is going to always train to their best ability so I’m not looking at this as a fight where I just go in and destroy this guy. I’m just going to go to do what I have to do to get the victory – look good inside and outside the ring.

“I feel like I’m going to be a world champion again, 再次, 反复. Until I’m really done with boxing. 是的, I took two years off from boxing, retired and let my body heal and rest. I just feel like I’ve got what it takes to win more championships in different weight classes so that’s what I’m going to do.

“At the end of the day, he’s here because of me and everybody in this room is here because of me, so that’s special. 周六晚上, the only thing that’s going to be special is this whooping I’m giving out. He’ll know then. Santiago hasn’t been punched yet. When you punch somebody, they talk different. He ain’t going to be talking like that after Saturday.

“I went through a lot of things, 老老实实. 一天, I just woke and said, ‘I’m done.’ In order to change, you’ve got to make change or you’ll steady get caught up doing the same thing. I cut a lot of stuff, I stopped doing a lot of stuff and I got myself together. It was a long road to get to where I’m at today and now I’m here.

“听, if you got a belt, just hold on to it. I’m coming to sweep it all up; WBA, WBO, WBC, IBF. I’m coming to get them all.

“Just expect a hell of a show. I know he’s coming to fight, He’s from Puerto Rico, 他们来打. But I didn’t just do all this training to go into the ring and not fight. So he’s got to know that if he comes to a war, he’s going to be in a war too. He better be coming with a lot of equipment because I’ve got a lot of equipment coming with me. I’m just ready to put it all on the line. I don’t know how he feels, but I’m willing to die in the ring. I’m willing to put my life on the line. I don’t know how far he’s willing to go. He might start thinking about his kids, grandkids, aunts, nieces, 我不知道.

“From the time I was six years old, I never took a break from boxing. So that’s what I did. 现在, I’m missing boxing again, I’m back in it and we’re back to it on Saturday night.

“It’s been a hell of a training camp. Maybe one of the toughest because I had to get back in rhythm, coming back and losing all that weight and working as hard as I do. I didn’t want an easy fight so I picked a guy like Jovanie Santiago because I know he’s going to push me and bring the best out of me. That’s what I know about him. 他是一个好战士, an undefeated fighter, and he’s not here to lose.

“I know a lot of people don’t know these guys, but guys like Jovanie can be very dangerous because a lot of people don’t know him. I know better, he’s coming to fight, he’s a good fighter and undefeated, so I have to stay on my A-game. I’m going in to get the victory – whatever presents itself. If the knockout presents itself, 我接受了. You don’t get paid for overtime but I’m definitely coming to get my win.

“The overall goal is to get past this fight first. 在拳击中, you can’t look past no opponent. I don’t care how everything looks on paper. 在拳击中, you’re only one punch away from a knockout and that’s on both ends. So what I’ve got to do is go in, get my victory, get my hands raised first, and then we’re gonna go to the drawing board. So the plan for me is to get my victory Saturday night.

“Everything happens for a reason and I think this is going to be a great start. 就像我之前说, I didn’t want no easy out. I could have taken a pushover, but I’m not doing that. I love competition. I want somebody to test me, bring the best out of me, and that’s why I picked Jovanie Santiago. Saturday night is going to be a great fight.”

JOVANIE SANTIAGO

“这对我来说是一个很好的机会. 周六晚上, I’m going to show who I am. I’m going to show Adrien Broner that I’m ready to fight.

“Whatever Broner brings to the table, I’m going to beat him on Saturday night. 我准备好这场斗争. At this point, Broner might think he has an easy fight, but he’s in the wrong. 我在这里打, 我在这里取胜. 我们准备好了.

“This Saturday night is going to be a war and it’s going to be a victory for Puerto Rico. I’m ready to die in the line like we say in Puerto Rico.

“I know this is the biggest fight of my career. He’s a big name and I’m going to try and win for Puerto Rico. Winning this fight would be the best thing that’s happened in my career and my name would get a lot bigger in the boxing world.

“I don’t have anything to lose. Adrien Broner has everything to lose Saturday night so he better bring his A-game against me. A win for me would catapult me into a world title shot.

“AB always puts on a show so on Saturday I have to be ready to put on my own show against AB. He is a good champion but I’ve trained really hard in the gym and I’m going to show it on Saturday.

“I think Adrien Broner thinks that I’m an easy fight for him, but he’s wrong about that. I think Broner is going to let go of his hands because he sees me as a weak opponent. He’s definitely overlooking me.

“Whatever Broner brings to the table, 我会为此做好准备. If he moves, I’m going to move with him. If he wants to brawl, I’m going to brawl. Whatever he does, I’m going to do it better than he does.”

多米尼克BREAZEALE

“It’s true you’re only as good as your last fight, but at the same time I feel like this is my coming out party. It feels like my pro debut. I’ve been off for a long time and had a great training camp so I’m ready for Saturday night.

“After my last fight against (Deontay) Wilder I took a few days to digest the loss and then was back in the gym about 10 days later. I didn’t want to harp on it or let it bother me. There wasn’t really a sense of urgency, but I knew there were going to be changes and I knew they had to be done in the next couple of weeks. I focused on my eating and my training and, 当然, the biggest change of all was my trainer change from Virgil Hunter to Abel Sanchez.

“Switching to Abel and training up in Big Bear has been huge and something I wish I would have done years ago. Abel actually has something written on the wall that says, ‘Imagine what if.’ And I imagine ‘what if’ every night. 就像我说的, I wish I would have done this a year ago, but my conditioning and my confidence are at an all-time high.

“Some people might have thought I would have wanted to get back in there with a pushover, but I’ve always wanted to fight the top guys. I saw the Otto Wallin fight and the performance he gave against Tyson Fury and then Travis Kauffman. When the name was brought to my attention, I jumped all over it. I knew that the boxing world would respect the fight against myself and Otto.

“I don’t think Otto’s been in there with a big, 强, athletic guy like myself. Mike Tyson said it best: ‘Everyone’s got a game plan until you get punched in the mouth.’”

OTTO WALLIN

“Everybody wants to ask about my fight with Tyson Fury and they forget that I’ve done a lot more than that. But it was a great performance and I understand that most people hadn’t seen me fight before, it was a great fight and it was better than what most people thought. I’m kind of over that now. I want to move forward. It’s nice to move forward. It’s nice to be on SHOWTIME fighting with Breazeale, who has a good name. So hopefully with this fight, I beat him and move on so people can see I’m able to beat good guys.

“I think I’m more well-rounded than Breazeale. 还, you can’t forget that I’m actually 6’ 6”, 240, so I’m not that small. I know a lot of people look at me like I’m smaller but I’m not that small. 有了这样说, 我更聪明, got a great team, we’ve had a great camp and I’m really good too. I’m faster than Dominic, I have better footwork, better defense, and better defense. So I’ve got to bring all of that in there, do what I’m good at and I’ll be fine.

“I think a win will hopefully help me move past Fury. But also it will put my name up there, to solidify my spot there. I don’t think this fight will get me a title shot but it will be a good shot on the way.

“I think you can expect a good fight, two good fighters. Dominic probably feels he has a point to prove and probably going to come out and be aggressive and try to come after me. I’m sure I won’t have to look for him and I’m ready for that. People can expect an exciting fight and a good night of boxing.

“Dominic is an aggressive guy so I have to be smart. I have to be who I am and set him up and I think I will be able to do that.

“I don’t feel a lot of pressure. I just have to be myself and I have to do what I do, what I’m good at. This is a big opportunity for me so I try to be positive. I waited a long time to get to this level, I’m finally here and I’m not going back.”

罗伯特·伊斯特, JR.

“I’ve been in some brawls, but I really haven’t ever shown my true boxing abilities. 我, Mike Stafford and my father (罗伯特·复活节, 老) just worked on boxing and being myself.

“During COVID it really set me down and being off for all that time and never really knowing when I would get that call to get back in the ring. So I really had to focus up and I had to be ready whenever I was given that phone call. 这激励了我. 更多, I had to look over my son and make sure he was alright. So it really put a different drive in me. This pandemic really set everything back, but we’re more than ready.

“140 is definitely the place for me to be right now. That’s the future. We’re worried about present right and capturing this title at 140.

“I’m just worried about me and showing my skills and everything we’ve worked on in training and this camp.”

RYAN MARTIN

“We fought in the amateurs and he beat me so there’s definitely a little chip on my shoulder there. I want to get back at him and let him know that I’m not a 16-year-old kid anymore.

“This fight is going to put me right back up there to be in a position to fight any of the champions or top contenders in the division. This fight is definitely going to steal the show.

“I’m focused. My mind is clear. This fight right here gets me excited. We’re two Ohio fighters with history – I’ve got a chip on my shoulder. It’s going to be an action-packed fight and I’m going to bring it. I’m not really surprised that Easter says he doesn’t see much difficulty in fighting me. I kind of expected him to say that. Easter is Easter.

“It’s going to be very important that I let my hands go against Easter. I feel that this fight is going to have so much action. I’m clear minded. 我准备好了. 周六晚上, we’re going to get in there and let it fly.

“Words can’t explain how excited and anxious I am for this, to tell you the truth. I’m just so ready for Saturday night. I’m ready to get the weigh-in over with, get under the lights on Saturday night and put on a show. It’s going to be an entertaining fight. A lot of people are saying a lot of things about me based on the Josh Taylor fight. 所以, it’s kind of like I’m battling two things.

“Easter just needs to come with it on Saturday night. I always knew this fight with Robert Easter was going to happen. 我不知道为什么, but I just always knew that we would meet again in the ring. I think it’s because we were both in Ohio – he was in Toledo and I was in Cleveland – and I just always thought I’d get this fight. I just didn’t think it would happen like this in a bubble.”
