ORANGE, SOWIE (September 28, 2020) – Former super bantamweight world champion, Danni Roman (28-3-1, 10 KOs), has his sights on challenging newly crowned WBC Champion Luis Nery (31-0, 24 KOs) after his recent unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Payano (21-4, 9 KOs). Roman defeated Payano by scores of 116-112 across the board in a WBC title elimination bout, putting him next in line to challenge Nery, who defeated previously unbeaten Aaron Alameda (25-1, 13 KOs) by way of a twelve round unanimous decision, to capture the vacant WBC belt.


“After defeating Payano, my focus has shifted to challenging Luis Nery for the WBC title.” said Roman, wer wird gefördert von Thompson Boxing Promotions. “I am now the mandatory challenger to fight Nery and I believe that fight can be made easily, since we are both fighting on SHOWTIME with the PBC. Luis Nery is a true warrior, as am I, and I’ll be ready to fight him anytime, irgendwo. Nery is a very gifted fighter and I think that fight will be fan friendly with both of us leaving everything in the ring.”


Außerdem, Roman has unfinished business to settle with IBF/WBA champion,Malika Akhmadaliev (8-0, 6 KOs) after he lost a close split decision in their world championship bout that took place in January of this year. Roman relinquished his IBF and WBA titles that night.


“I want a rematch with Murodjon Akhmadaliev as I believe I won that fight,” Roman continued. “When you fight champion for his titles, you must win convincingly, and I don’t think Akhmadaliev did enough that night, but the judges thought differently. I graciously took the defeat with class, but it didn’t feel right. I want to avenge my loss.”


Schließlich, if a fight cannot be made with Nery or Akhmadaliev, Roman wants WBO champion, Angelo Leo (20-9 KOs). In seinem letzten Kampf, Leo captured the vacant WBO world title with a dominating performance against previously undefeated contender, Tramaine Williams (19-1, 6 KOs).


“Angelo Leo, who holds the WBO title, is the other world champion that I want to challenge,” Roman concluded. “Leo is another great fighter that brings excitement each time he fights, and I know if we go to battle, it will be an explosive fight. Before my loss to Akhmadaliev, I was unbeaten for six years. I’m ready to become a world champion once again.”

NEW YORK, – September 9, 2020 – Former unified super bantamweight champion Danni Roman anticipates an action packed showdown as he previewed his upcoming WBC super bantamweight title eliminator bout against former world champion Juan Carlos Payano statt Samstag, September 26 in part two of a first-of-its-kind SHOWTIME PPV doubleheader presented by Premier Boxing Champions.


“Payano is one of the toughest and roughest fighters in the division,” said Roman. “His only losses are to elite fighters. This fight will be all action because Payano likes to mix it up, wie ich. The fans will get to see two warriors going at it as I’m fully prepared for a grueling fight. This will be an explosive twelve-round battle, and that’s if it goes the distance, which I highly doubt.”


Roman and his longtime trainer Eddie Gonzalez have prepared for the Payano fight at the Fundamentals Gym in Los Angeles, studying their opponent and aiming to put on an impressive performance on September 26.


“It’s been a very productive training camp thus far,” said Roman. “We’ve been going strong, but smart, since early August. Coach Eddie has been studying Payano and we see some flaws in his game that we feel we can capitalize on. I’m in great shape and its full steam ahead for Payano showdown.”


The Los Angeles-native Roman will return to the ring for the first time since dropping a narrow split-decision, and his super bantamweight titles, to Murodjon Akhmadaliev in January. Roman knows that with a win in this title eliminator, he will be in a prime position to regain his status in the division.


“A victory will put me right back on the doorstep for a world title,” said Roman. “I feel that I’m still one of the best fighters at super bantamweight, but I must get past Payano. There are so many big fights at super bantamweight, because this division is one of the deepest in boxing. My mind is set on becoming a world champion again, and a victory against Payano will bring me closer to that goal.”

Die September- 26 doubleheader is stacked with champions and top talent in the 122-pound division, presenting an abundance of opportunities for Roman should he emerge victorious. The 30-year-old relishes the opportunities in front of him to fight for the top spot at super bantamweight.

“I’m excited about this next chapter of my career with PBC and fighting on SHOWTIME®,” said Roman. “I know there will be a lot of big fights that can be made, and I want to thank my promoter Thompson Boxing for always believing in me. Am Ende des Tages, I’m an entertainer and I want to give the fans great fights.”

NEW YORK - September 1, 2020 - WBC Super Weltergewicht Weltmeister Jermell Charlo und WBA und IBF 154-Pfund-Weltmeister Jeison Rosario Vorschau auf ihren Blockbuster-Showdown während einer virtuellen Kick-off-Pressekonferenz am Dienstag, als sie sich am Samstag im zweiten Teil des allerersten SHOWTIME PPV-Doubleheader ihrem Kampf um das Hauptereignis näherten, September 26 in einem Fall von Premier Boxing Champions vorgestellt.

Fünf der sechs Kämpfer, die im zweiten Teil der beispiellosen Veranstaltung antreten werden, nahmen am heutigen Medienaufruf teil. Ungeschlagener ehemaliger Champion Luis Nery wird ungeschlagen kämpfen Aaron Alameda für die vakante WBC Super Bantamgewicht Weltmeisterschaft im Co-Feature, während ehemaliger einheitlicher Champion Daniel Roman trifft auf den ehemaligen Champion Juan Carlos Payano in einem WBC Super Bantamgewicht Titel Eliminator Kampf, um die zweite Rate der Pay-per-View zu eröffnen. Nery konnte aufgrund technischer Probleme nicht an der Aufforderung teilnehmen.

Das sagten die Teilnehmer der virtuellen Pressekonferenz am Dienstag:

Jermell Charlo:

"Ich bin stärker und schneller als je zuvor. Das Camp war unglaublich. Ich kann nicht glauben, dass ich so schnell in Form gekommen bin, aber ich bin wirklich nie außer Form geraten. Ich investiere in mich selbst und mache meine Hausaufgaben.

„Herzlichen Glückwunsch an Rosario, dass er die Chance bekommen hat, auf dieses Niveau aufzusteigen. Aber ich weiß, was ich im Ring besitze, wenn ich es aus mir herauslasse. Ich bin mehr bereit für diesen Kampf als für jeden Kampf, den ich jemals hatte.

„Mein Vermächtnis steht auf dem Spiel. Ich ernähre meine Familie auf diese Weise. Es geht nicht darum, was wir sagen werden. Es ist kein Geheimnis, wie ich kämpfe. Ich bin gefährlich und fühle mich jetzt noch gefährlicher. Ich bin aufgeregt zu gehen 12 Runde. Meine Fähigkeiten und Fertigkeiten übertreffen all diese Leute in der Division. Ich bin jetzt viel hungriger. Das Feuer wurde in mir angezündet.

„Viele Leute waren überrascht, dass Jeison gegen Julian Williams gewonnen hat, aber das war ich eigentlich nicht. Williams hatte viel zu tun. Aber ich bin eine andere Art von Kämpfer. Mein Engagement ist anders als jeder andere.

„Ich und mein Bruder wurden immer angezweifelt. Wie ich reife, Es ist mir egal, was jemand von außen sagt. Es ist mir egal, wer die Rangliste erstellt. Meine Aufgabe ist es zu boxen. Das war einmal mein Hobby. Ich mache das schon immer und bin dazu gewachsen. Ich bin ein anderes Tier. Genau wie Rosario die Levels hochsteigen musste, Das habe ich auch gemacht. Ich halte aufgrund meiner harten Arbeit und der Art, wie ich kämpfe, an meinem Standort fest. Alles was du tun musst ist mich da raus zu bringen und ich werde es für dich holen.

„Ich glaube, meine letzten beiden Kämpfe und die unterschiedlichen Stile, die Tony Harrison mir geholfen hat, haben mir geholfen. Tony ist ein großartiger Kämpfer. Sie sehen sich seine Akte an und wissen, dass er schlagen kann, aber ich bin einfach anders. Das hat mich dazu gebracht, die Nase vorn zu haben und den ersten Kampf zu beenden. Die Erfahrung, die ich in diesen Kämpfen gemacht habe, wird mir noch mehr Vorteile bringen, wenn ich in diesen Kampf komme.

"Es gibt so viele Dinge, die mich glauben lassen, dass ich der Beste in der Division bin. Ich kann weiter und weiter gehen, aber ich bin ein Löwe im Käfig, Lass mich raus und schau was passiert.

"Ich bin von der ersten Runde bis zum Ende stark. Wenn es geht 12, dann geht es so weit. Ich bin schlau und weiß, wie man Fallen aufstellt. Ich werde den Spielplan nicht preisgeben, aber ich spiele nicht im Ring herum. "

JEISON ROSARIO:

„Dies wird ein großer Krieg. Ich bin engagiert und motiviert für diesen Kampf und weiß, was es bedeutet, sich einem Kämpfer von Jermells Qualität zu stellen, Das Training lief also großartig. Ich bin bereit.

„Ich bin jetzt noch hungriger als vor dem Titelgewinn. Ich bin motivierter. Der Wunsch in mir und das Feuer in mir brennen, diesen Kampf gegen einen großen Kämpfer in Jermell Charlo zu gewinnen. Wie das dominikanische Volk sagt, "Wir müssen weiter vorankommen" und das habe ich in diesem Kampf vor.

„Jermell Charlo und Julian Williams sind definitiv zwei verschiedene Arten von Kämpfern. Ich denke, Williams hat etwas mehr Schnelligkeit, aber Jermell ist definitiv stärker und hat mehr Kraft. Deshalb musste ich mich etwas anders auf diesen Kampf vorbereiten. In Bezug darauf, wer meiner Meinung nach der bessere Kämpfer ist, möchte ich keinem von beiden etwas wegnehmen. Williams war ein großartiger Kämpfer und er wurde als Nein angesehen. 1 als ich gegen ihn gekämpft habe, Das ist jetzt die gleiche Position, in der sich Jermell Charlo befindet. Beide haben ihre Vorzüge, aber ich würde nicht sagen, welcher der bessere Kämpfer ist. Jermell gilt als der beste Kämpfer 154 right now.

„Eine Sache, die sich seit meinem Verlust gegen Nathaniel Gallimore geändert hat 2017 ist meine Reife. Wenn die Kämpfe größer und wichtiger werden, Ich habe mich definitiv dem Anlass und der Herausforderung gestellt. Ich trainiere härter und es liegt mehr Fokus auf diesem bevorstehenden Kampf.

„Dieser Kampf bedeutet mir sehr viel. Es ist definitiv der wichtigste Kampf meiner Karriere und ich bin sehr dankbar. Ich bin meinem Trainer dankbar und für diese Gelegenheit, die mir gegeben wurde, um gegen den besten Kämpfer der Division zu kämpfen. Dies ist ein großartiger Moment und einige Leute denken, ich werde nicht gewinnen. Ich weiß, dass es elektrisch sein wird.

„Ich betrachte dies als meine Zeit. Reiche fallen. Präsidenten fallen. Königreiche fallen. Es ist alles sehr interessant, weil unter Charlos Marke, Du hast den Löwen und du hast den Jäger und all das. Aber während des Kampfes, Sie werden herausfinden, wer wirklich der Jäger ist. Ich bin ein Krieger und wir werden in dieser Nacht sehen, wer wirklich der Jäger ist und wer derjenige ist, der gejagt wird. "

AARON ALAMEDA:

"Wir haben sehr hart trainiert und wissen, dass wir in Luis Nery einen harten Gegner haben.", aber wir sind bereit für ihn.

„Ehrlich gesagt, Vielleicht gehören die Namen, die Sie auf dem Papier sehen, nicht zu Nerys Klasse, aber wenn du mich im September siehst 26, Du wirst wissen, woraus ich gemacht bin.

"Es ist wahr, dass Nery zuvor Probleme hatte, Gewicht zu gewinnen, aber das ist sein Problem. Wenn er Gewicht macht oder nicht, Das stört mich nicht. Ich konzentriere mich auf das, was ich im September tun muss 26, Ich habe mich also nicht wirklich darauf konzentriert, ob er Gewicht zulegen wird. Ich bin derjenige, der bereit sein wird.

„Dies ist definitiv ein Schritt für mich, das leugnen wir nicht. Aber strategisch, Wir haben an bestimmten Dingen gearbeitet, von denen wir wissen, dass sie helfen werden, die Nacht zu kämpfen. Wir haben viele Videos über Luis Nery gesehen und gelernt, wie wir diesen Kampf angehen müssen. Wir haben ein paar Dinge gesehen, die wir tun können, und das werden wir im September tun 26.

„Es gab einige Gegner, gegen die ich gekämpft habe, die schwierig waren, aber einer war es besonders [Enrique] Gänse in Guadalajara. Er kämpfte in seiner Heimatstadt und er hatte seine Leute hinter sich, aber wir haben diesen Kampf trotzdem gewonnen. Die Person, die mich am härtesten getroffen hat? Sein Name war [Juan] Jimenez, und wir haben immer noch die Kraft überwunden, die er in dieser Nacht gezeigt hat, um zu gewinnen.

„Ich habe in meiner Karriere ein paar Südpfoten bekämpft und fühle mich gegen Südpfoten besser als gegen orthodoxe Kämpfer.

"Es besteht kein Zweifel, dass Nery ein mächtiger Puncher ist, aber wir müssen sehen, wie er herauskommt - ob er aus dem Boxen herauskommt oder ob er sofort nach dem Knockout suchen wird. Wir haben eine Strategie für jeden Weg, wie er herauskommt. Wir werden dafür bereit sein. "

DANIEL ROMAN:

„Im Training läuft alles super. Aufgrund der Pandemie haben wir einige Anpassungen vorgenommen, Aber ich werde im September mein Bestes geben 26. Wir sind zwei ehemalige Champions, Das wird also ein Qualitätskampf. Wir werden versuchen, es zu unserer Nacht zu machen.

„Das Ziel ist es, zum Weltmeistertitel zurückzukehren, aber ich übersehen Payano nicht. Er ist ein Qualitätskämpfer. Wir müssen an ihm vorbei und dann können wir hoffentlich den Rückkampf mit Murodjon Akhmadaliev schaffen.

„Payano hat gegen große Namen und hochkarätige Kämpfer verloren. In einem Kampf kann alles passieren, Also bereite ich mich auf alles vor. Ich bin bereit, gegen den bestmöglichen Payano zu kämpfen. Ich bin ihm nicht an leicht. Das ist, als würde ich den Gürtel gegen einen anderen Weltmeister verteidigen.

"Ich bin jetzt fokussierter als je zuvor. Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass ich meinen letzten Kampf verloren habe, Ich dachte, ich hätte es genommen. Jetzt bin ich auf Payano fixiert, Wir arbeiten also weiter so hart wie damals, als ich Champion war. Es ist ein Schritt nach dem anderen. Zuerst ist es Payano, dann werden wir danach sehen.

„Der Verlust meiner Titel hat mich noch mehr motiviert. Ich weiß, was mein nächstes Ziel ist. Ich übersehen Payano nicht, aber ich freue mich darauf, als nächstes diesen Rückkampf zu bekommen. "

JUAN CARLOS Payano:

„Wir respektieren Danny Roman auf jeden Fall. Er ist ein großer Kämpfer, Aber dies ist die einmalige Gelegenheit. Wir haben hart trainiert und Sie werden das Beste von Payano für diesen Kampf sehen.

„Wir haben Fehler in diesen beiden Kämpfen begangen, die wir gegen Inoue und Nery verloren haben, wo sie mich besiegt haben, aber wir sind darauf vorbereitet, zu wissen, dass wir in Danny Roman gegen einen anderen guten Kämpfer kämpfen, und wir haben uns wirklich gut vorbereitet, damit es nicht passiert nochmal. Du lernst aus deinen Fehlern in diesen Kämpfen, deshalb, wenn ich herauskomme, Sie werden im September einen anderen Juan Carlos Payano sehen 26.

"Ich habe in all meinen Kämpfen immer hart gekämpft, aber vor allem dieses, weil wir uns das Ende meiner Karriere ansehen. Ich weiß, ich brauche eine großartige Show für die Fans, Es gibt also definitiv eine zusätzliche Dringlichkeit, das Beste von mir zu zeigen.

"Ein Boxer verrät nie, was er in den Ring bringen wird, aber ich werde definitiv genauer sein. Das hatte ich bei meinen beiden Verlusten nicht. Ich kann nicht zu verzweifelt sein. Ich stellte fest, dass ich in diesen beiden Kämpfen verzweifelt war, als ich präziser hätte sein und in diesen Aspekten des Kampfes einen besseren Job machen können.

"Ich boxe seit meinem sechsten Lebensjahr und habe mein Leben dem Boxen gewidmet. Es war ein großartiger Lauf. Ich respektiere Danny Roman enorm und die Leute können erwarten, dass im September zwei Krieger in den Ring kommen 26 und alles geben. Die Fans wissen, dass ich ihnen das immer gebe und dass diese Nacht nicht anders sein wird. “

DERRICK JAMES, Charlo Trainer:

„Das Trainingslager war gut. Jermell wurde immer besser. Ich war zufrieden mit dem, was ich sehe und es ist noch früh im Trainingslager. Wir werden im Vorfeld des Kampfes weiter aufbauen. Wir wissen, dass wir einen sehr harten Kerl haben, dem wir gegenüberstehen, Aber ich glaube, jeder, dem wir gegenüberstehen, ist hart. Wir werden dort hineingehen, um unser Bestes zu geben.

„Ich denke, dass der Sieg schön wäre, aber ich denke nicht darüber nach, was es für mich tun würde. Das Beste ist, was es für Jermell bedeuten würde, drei Gürtel zu haben. Hier geht es um Vermächtnis. Es geht um einen Legacy-Kampf für Jermell und mich.

„Rosario ist ein guter Kämpfer. Er hat sich allmählich weiterentwickelt, als ich ihn gegen Justin DeLoach kämpfen sah und dann gegen Williams kämpfte. Es geht ihm besser. Wir wissen, was wir sehen. Wir wissen als der Champion, er könnte als ein anderer Kämpfer hereinkommen. Also müssen wir auch besser sein. Es ist eine große Herausforderung, aber wir freuen uns darauf.

"Ich habe Rosarios Kämpfe vor Williams gesehen, Also wusste ich, dass er hart sein würde. Ich war überrascht, wie es gelaufen ist, weil Williams ein starker Kämpfer ist. Aber Rosario hat sich wirklich gezeigt und er hatte die richtigen Schüsse, um ihn da rauszuholen. Wir erwarten am 26. September einen großartigen Kämpfer. “

LUIS "CHIRO" PEREZ, Rosarios Trainer:

„Das Trainingslager war großartig. Alles lief genau so, wie wir es wollten und noch mehr. Auch in diesen Zeiten, Wir konnten unser komplettes Trainingslager so machen, wie wir es wollten. Es gab keine Hindernisse.

„Jeison ist stärker und schlauer als je zuvor. Wir freuen uns darauf zu zeigen, dass wir zu diesem Wettbewerb gehören. Wir wissen, dass es eine große Herausforderung gegen den besten 154-Pfund-Kämpfer der Welt ist, aber wir wollen seine Position. Er ist der Mann in dieser Gewichtsklasse und wir möchten der Welt beweisen, dass wir auf dieser Ebene gehören.

„Jeison hatte bis vor kurzem noch nie ein richtiges Trainingslager in seinem Leben absolviert. Er trainierte auf jede erdenkliche Weise und er würde viele Last-Minute-Kämpfe austragen. Das hat sich für den Williams-Kampf geändert und das hat sich für diesen Kampf geändert. Alles, was er überwunden hat, Er ist mit dem Verlangen fertig. Er macht jetzt das richtige Trainingslager und isst die richtige Art und Weise. Ich denke, du musst Rosario ausschalten, um ihn zu schlagen. September 26, Wir werden sehen, ob ich Recht habe. "

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Präsident, Sport- und Eventprogrammierung, Showtime Networks Inc.:

"Oben nach unten, Dies ist die Karte von höchster Qualität, mit der ich jemals in Verbindung gebracht wurde. In den letzten paar Jahren, Es gab viele neue Unternehmen und viele Aktivitäten im Boxen und sogar mit all dem Geld, die Angebote, die Betriebe, und alles, was sie angeblich auf den Tisch bringen, Niemand hat diese Art von Veranstaltung gemacht. Niemand sonst macht Karten auf diesem Level — so groß und mit so viel Qualität. Dies ist eine Veranstaltung für den wahren Kampffan. Weltmeister nach Weltmeister, Eine Sammlung der besten Kämpfer der Welt auf einer Karte. sechs Kämpfe, fünf von ihnen Weltmeisterkämpfe, Alles auf einen Pay-per-View.

„Dies ist eine Karte voller Knaller. Der eine Kampf, der kein Weltmeistertitelkampf ist, der zwischen Danny Roman und Juan Carlos Payano, ist ein Matchup zwischen einem ehemaligen Unified Champion und einem ehemaligen Weltmeister – Es gibt dort also keinen Mangel an Leistungen. Sie haben den ehemaligen Meister Luis Nery ungeschlagen, wer kommt aus einer streife von 11 aufeinanderfolgende Knockouts, Aufstieg in eine neue Gewichtsklasse gegen den ungeschlagenen Aaron Alameda. Unser zweites Hauptereignis des Abends, Jermell Charlo und Jeison Rosario, wie der erste, ist ein Matchup zwischen den beiden besten Boxern, die derzeit in der Division kämpfen. Wir brauchen keine Übertreibung oder Übertreibung. Einfach ausgedrückt:, Dies ist der beste Kampf, der im Super-Weltergewicht ausgetragen werden kann. “

LAS VEGAS (Juli 21, 2019) – Boxing’s only eight-division world champion, Senator Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao gesunken Keith “Einmal” Thurman in round one and won a close split decision to earn a welterweight world title in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event Saturday night from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

“It was fun,” said Pacquiao. “My opponent is a good fighter and boxer. Er war stark. I’m not that kind of boxer who talks a lot; we were just promoting the fight. I think he did his best, and I did my best. I think we made the fans happy tonight because it was a good fight.”

The sell-out crowd of 14,356 got treated to great action from the start, as an exciting first round was capped off by Pacquiao dropping Thurman for the first time in his career with a straight right hand late in the round.

“I knew it was too close,” Said Thurman. “He got the knockdown so he had momentum in round one.”

Thurman made it into the second round but continued to have trouble with Pacquiao’s right hand, as the future Hall of Famer threw it successfully as a jab and a power punch throughout the fight. Thurman adjusted in the middle rounds and began to try to smother Pacquiao and walk him down, having success when he was able to get his combinations off before his opponent.

Despite blood pouring from his nose from round four on, Thurman was able to land powerful combinations on Pacquiao for much of the second half of the fight, but was never able to hurt Pacquiao or score a knockdown of his own.

“I wish I had a little bit more output to go toe to toe,” Said Thurman. “I felt like he was getting a little bit tired, but he did have experience in the ring. My conditioning and my output was just behind Manny Pacquiao’s. I would love the rematch.”

In Runde 10, Pacquiao’s landed a strong left hook to the body that clearly hurt Thurman and forced him to spend much of the remainder of the round backpedaling. The CompuBox scores were indicative of the close nature of the fight, with Thurman out landing Pacquiao 210 bis 195, while Pacquiao was busier throwing 686 Schläge auf 571 from Thurman.

“I really love the fans,” said Pacquiao. “Thank you so much for coming here and witnessing the fight. I’m sure they were happy tonight because they saw a good fight. Even though Thurman lost, he did his best. He’s not an easy opponent. He’s a good boxer and he’s strong. I was just blessed tonight.”


Watch the round 10 Höhepunkt HIER

Pacquiao had a large advantage in jabs landed, Anschluss an 82 to Thurman’s 18. Die 192 power punches landed by Thurman was the most in 43 Pacquiao fights that CompuBox has tracked. Round-by-round, the two fighters were only separated by more than five landed punches in rounds two, seven and nine.

Nach 12 Runde, the judges reached a split decision, with one judge scoring the fight 114-113 for Thurman, overruled by two judges scoring it 115-112 for Pacquiao, who captured the WBA Welterweight World Championship at 40-years-old.

“You get blessings and lessons,” Said Thurman. “Tonight was a blessing and a lesson. Thank you everybody, and thank you Manny Pacquiao.”

“Ich denke (I will fight) next year,” said Pacquiao. “I will go back to the Philippines and work and then make a decision. I do hope to be at the (Errol) Spence vs. (Shawn) Porter fight on September 28.”

The co-main event of the pay-per-view saw top contender Yordenis Ugás (24-4, 11 KOs) drop previously unbeaten Omar Figueroa (28-1-1, 19 KOs) on his way to a unanimous decision in their WBC welterweight title eliminator.

Ugas got off to a strong start, connecting on a straight right hand that sent Figueroa into the ropes, which he held onto so he didn’t hit the canvas, but enough that referee Russell Mora ruled it a knockdown.

“The fight played out how I thought it would,” Said Ugas. “I came out strong and Figueroa was tough as well. This was similar to the fight everyone expected. I came out on top.”

Figueroa recovered and was able to make it to round two, where he continued his strategy of coming forward to try to hurt Ugas on the inside. Ugas was able to control that action on the inside, landing numerous uppercuts to stun Figueroa. Jedoch, the inside fighting led to Ugas being deducted a point by the referee in round five for holding.

“Ugas fought a smart fight,” sagte Figueroa. “He was smothering me on the inside and holding. I thought the scores were too wide. I was following him and working the whole time. I felt like he only worked the last 30 seconds of the round, but I guess that was all it took.

“I didn’t have any problems with his size. I thought I was able to do my thing, but when he was holding me I couldn’t get my offense going.”

Despite that, and being warned later in the fight for delivering low blows, Ugas dominated the fight according to CompuBox, out landing Figueroa 229 bis 131 and connecting with 28% of his punches, to Figueroa’s 22%.

“I knew Figueroa was a tough guy, so I didn’t want to waste my energy trying to take him out early,” Said Ugas. “I was ready to go 12 rounds.”

Nach 12 Runde, all three judges scored the fight the same, 119-107 in favor of Ugas, who became the mandatory for the winner of the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Shawn Porter welterweight title unification.

“I’m extremely happy to be in this position to fight for the WBC title again,” Said Ugas. “I will be ready for the winner of Errol Spence Jr. vs. Shawn Porter.”

Additional action saw former world champion Sergey Lipinets (16-1, 12 KOs) score a highlight-reel knockout against Jayar Inson (18-3, 12 KOs) in the second round of their welterweight matchup.

Lipinets was originally scheduled to fight John Molina Jr., before Molina pulled out of the fight Friday morning due to a back injury. Inson, who was scheduled to fight on the non-televised undercard, stepped up to the challenge.

“When I first heard the news about Molina, I knew that I wanted to still fight on a show of this magnitude,” Said Lipinets. “As far as fighting a southpaw, I’ve had so many amateur fights in my kickboxing career that I had no problem adjusting. Es war nur eine Frage der Zeit. I also have sparred with great southpaws like Victor Ortiz throughout my career, so I was comfortable with the change in fighter.”

In an exchange early in the second round, Lipinets landed a clean left hook to Inson’s head, which sent the Filipino-fighter to the canvas. Although Inson got to his feet, referee Jay Nady waved off the bout 57 Sekunden in die Runde.

“I got hit and I slipped, that made it look worse,” said Inson. “When I stood up I thought I was fine and tried to raise my hands and show the referee.”

“Joe Goossen is an exceptional trainer and he just told me to work from a different direction facing a southpaw,” Said Lipinets. “I just made sure to block his punches with my elbows. That was the only adjustment I had to make and it ended up working just fine.”

The opening pay-per-view bout saw undefeated former champion Luis Nery (30-0, 24 KOs) deliver a ninth-round knockout of former bantamweight champion Juan Carlos Payano (21-3, 9 KOs).

“I wasn’t really paying attention to how long the fight was going, I was just getting into a rhythm as it went on,” Said Nery. “I had to work hard to get to him because he’s a good boxer. The longer it went, the better I felt. I put my punches together well once I got going.”

In a fast-paced duel of former champions, Payano had success early boxing the aggressive Nery, moving back to avoid his attack and landing his own offense against the knockout artist. Payano out landed or was even in punches landed for each of the first six rounds of the bout.

“I’m a warrior and I wanted to keep going and fight back every time he came forward,” said Payano. “My coach wanted me to stay behind my jab a little more.”

As the fight grew into the middle rounds, Nery began to increase the offense and was able to land power shots that slowed Payano’s ability to box from the outside. Nery hurt Payano early in round seven, eventually dominating the round, out landing his opponent 22 bis 7.

“He was a very complicated fighter at the beginning, he’s a veteran, so I had to try to adapt to his style to see how I could get in,” Said Nery. “In the fifth or sixth round I started gaining control of the fight and then that left hook came to the body which was devastating.”

“During the exchanges it was Nery’s second shot that was getting in,” said Payano. “We corrected the issue but then that body shot came in from nowhere and hit me in a rib that I had broken years ago against Raushee Warren.”

Round eight saw Nery continue to break Payano down, most notably landing a big left hand midway through the round that caused blood to pour from Payano’s nose. During an exchange in the ninth-round, Payano landed a devastating left hook to the ribs that put Payano down. He was unable to recover and referee Vic Drakulich halted the bout 1:43 in die Runde.

“I wanted to get him out early,” Said Nery. “But this showed that I do have the experience to go into the later rounds and still take out my opponent. I showed that I have good defense and can make adjustments.”

The FOX PBC Fight Night main event on FOX and FOX Deportes saw IBF Super Middleweight World Champion Caleb “Sweethands” Pflanze (19-0, 11 KOs) retain his title with a dominant third-round knockout over previously unbeaten Mike Lee (21-1, 11 KOs).

“It went exactly how I planned it would go,” wobei die Anlage. “Absolut. I’ve been telling you all week it wasn’t going to go 12 rounds and I stuck to my word and I tried to do that. I hope you guys had a good time.”

“I think I have a high boxing IQ and I do this at a really high level,” wobei die Anlage. “So it was just about making adjustments. Er ist ein großer, strong guy and he just came in here to give it his all.”

Lee looked to charge in hard against Plant and use his size and power to land a big shot and change the momentum of the fight. Plant was sharp and avoided the looping right hands that Lee was attacking with.

“The speed was the difference, he’s fast and very accurate,” sagte Lee. “I had some success with my right hands but wasn’t able to be consistent with it.”

In Runde drei, Plant landed a vicious right hook early in the round that put Lee down for the second time. After a left hook appeared to connect and send Lee down a second time, referee Robert Byrd ruled it had come from a push and continued the fight once Lee got to his feet.

Plant had his opponent hurt and continued to press forward, eventually landing another left hook that put Lee down, this time forcing the referee to wave off the bout 1:29 in die Runde.

“Oh ja, we can definitely unify,” wobei die Anlage. “I ain’t hard to get a hold of. I ain’t hard to make a fight with. Come see me. You know my advisor.”

The opening bout on FOX and FOX Deportes saw Cartoon Ajagba (11-0, 9 KOs) score a unanimous decision over Ali Eren Demirezen (11-1, 10 KOs) in a 10-round battle of undefeated heavyweights. It was the first time that two unbeaten fighters from the 2016 Olympics faced off as pros.

Ajagba used his jab and height effectively throughout the fight, Landung 10 von 45 jabs per round, doubling the heavyweight average. Jedoch, an elbow injury and the accurate punching of Demirezen forced Ajagba to go the distance for the first time as a pro.

“This was the first fighter to take me the distance,” Said Ajagba. “He was strong and could take my punches. My trainer just told me to keep using my jab and stay in the middle of the ring.

“I hurt my elbow early on, so I couldn’t shoot my right hand like I wanted. But I won’t use that as an excuse. As a tall man I had to use the jab and if it went the distance, that was my best way to win.”

Demirezen thought the scorecards should have been closer and believed that his performance should have garnered him more than the decision loss. Demirezen was actually the more accurate puncher, Landung 26% of his punches to 22% from Ajagba.

“I don’t agree with the scores, especially 99-91” said Demirezen. “It was much closer. I feel that at minimum, it was a draw. I knew I had to knock him out and that a knockout might be easier than winning by points. I thought it was a good performance but I can do better. I’d like to fight in the U.S. erneut.”

Ajagba’s activity from start to finish was impressive, as he threw 877 Gesamt Schläge, Landung 191. While Demirezen was not far behind with 149 punches landed, he only out landed Ajagba in three rounds.

Thurman broke down all of his title performances in anticipation of the fight that could cement his place amongst boxing’s best of this era.

KO 10 Diego Chaves, Juli 27, 2013, AT&T Center, San Antonio: The 24-year-old Thurman came off a near-shutout unanimous decision over former champion Jan Zaveck in March 2013 and faced an unbeaten Argentine interim WBA champion who was after his fifth consecutive stoppage win and had knocked out 18 von 22 Gegner.

Thurman traded early power shots, controlled tempo with his athleticism and boxing ability and floored Chaves with a ninth round left hook to the liver before dropping him for the final time with a right hand in the 10th Runde. Chaves failed to beat the count as Thurman became a 147-pound titleholder.

“The Diego Chaves fight was the biggest fight of my career, elevating me to the WBA interim champion,” Said Thurman. “I broke him down round by round and landed a beautiful body shot in the ninth round and after that it was a matter of time. That was a fight that earned me worldwide respect and was the start of everything for me.”

“Soto Karass was coming off a victory over Andre Berto which made it an important measuring stick fight for me,” Said Thurman, “He did open the fight by tagging me in the first round, but I dropped him in the fifth and again in the ninth and was able to finish him off for my first title defense.”


RTD 3 Julio Diaz, April 26, 2014, StubHub Center, Carson, Calif: In a one-sided beat-down, former champion Diaz took a knee from a left to the temple the second round and retired prior to the fourth from a body shot that caused rib damage. Diaz never fought again.

“That was a tremendous fight for me as the headliner in my first main event,” Said Thurman. “Diaz was coming off of good showings against Shawn Porter, fighting Porter to a draw once, and Amir Khan, whom he dropped in their fight. I also had the opportunity to make a statement. I did that by stopping him in only three rounds.”

UD 12 Leonard Bundu, Dezember 13, 2014, the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas: A previously unbeaten 40-year-old switch-hitting veteran, Bundu (31-1-2, 11 KO) was dropped by a first-round right hand in a shutout victory (120-107 drei Mal) for Thurman who ended an eight-month ring absence and was recovering from an injured left shoulder.


“Bundu was a switch-hitting awkward fighter. I switched [to southpaw] on him in the first round and dropped him with a right hand,” Said Thurman. “I out boxed him and really gave the world a taste of how good of a boxer I am. It was an easy blowout.”

UD 12 Robert Guerrero, März 7, 2015, the MGM Grand Grand Garden Arena: Thurman entered this bout after having been elevated to the full champion before facing Guerrero (32-3-1, 18 KOs), a two-division title winner. He overcame a grotesque hematoma above his left eye from an accidental clash of heads, gesunken “The Ghost” in the ninth-round, and lost a combined four rounds in PBC’s first ever main event.

“Guerrero had fought Floyd Mayweather and I was happy to have a common opponent with Floyd, so that I could prove to the world that I deserved a shot at Mayweather,” Said Thurman. “I had to overcome that adversity of having that hematoma by knocking him down in the ninth round. That fight really raised my stock to another level.”

RTD 7 Luis Collazo, Juli 11, 2015, USF Sundome, Tampa: Thurman overcame a crippling left hand to the liver in the fifth round to become only the man to stop Collazo, a former champion who had gone the distance in losses to Ricky Hatton, Shane Mosley, Andre Berto and Amir Khan. In a homecoming fight, Thurman opened a deep gash over Collazo’s right eye with his own left hook, eventually resulting in the southpaw’s retiring on his stool after the seventh round.

“I was able to survive that body shot to perform in the next round. The fight was taking its toll on him though.

“Our fight was tough, back and forth, but by no means was Shawn Porter going to take my title,” Said Thurman. “I pushed myself over the final rounds to make sure I’d be victorious in what was one of the ‘Fight of The Year’ contenders that year. That fight proved to everyone that I can win any type of fight, against any type of fighter.”

The crowd of 16,533 represented the highest attended boxing match at Barclays Center to date. Thurman’s movement disrupted the timing of Garcia, a Philadelphia-based fighter who was a unified champion at 140-pounds.

“This was two undefeated welterweights going toe-to-toe in the prime of their careers. Danny Garcia’s a sharp puncher who won the WBC’s vacant title that Floyd Mayweather gave up for retirement,” Said Thurman. “But after beating Shawn Porter, I knew Danny would be an easy fight. This was my first chance to beat an undefeated world champion, and I came out swinging on him in round one to make a statement that his world title was about to be mine.”

“I was really nervous about making weight after walking around at 182 for the past two years,” Said Thurman. “But even though I got hit and hurt in the seventh round, I knew my boxing ability would get me through. It was a relief to make it through that fight feeling strong and healthy and I’ve taken those feelings right into this training camp.”

“Does Manny belong in the ring with a fighter in his prime? Is Keith Thurman still Keith ‘One Time’ Thurman after some vulnerability against Josesito Lopez?” Said Thurman, rhetorically speaking. “Natürlich, I’d like to get the knockout or TKO, but either way, you’re going to see a world class performance that has me standing alone on top of a division that has so many great fighters. I’m trying to be that great, devastating champion once again, and come July 20, I will prove that I am.”

MD 12 Josesito Lopez, Januar 26, 2019, Barclays Center: Thurman ended an injury-hampered 22-month ring absence against Lopez (36-8, 19 KOs), scoring a second-round knockdown with a left hook, being hurt by a right hand in the seventh, and using his mobility and athleticism down the stretch for the victory.

“I was really nervous about making weight after walking around at 182 for the past two years,” Said Thurman. “But even though I got hit and hurt in the seventh round, I knew my boxing ability would get me through. It was a relief to make it through that fight feeling strong and healthy and I’ve taken those feelings right into this training camp.”

Manny Pacquiao (61-7-2, 39 KOs), Juli 20, 2019, the MGM Grand Garden Arena: The 40-year-old Pacquiao has earned back-to-back victories over former champions by seventh-round TKO over Lucas Matthysse (Juli 2018) and unanimous decision Adrien Broner (Januar).

“Does Manny belong in the ring with a fighter in his prime? Is Keith Thurman still Keith ‘One Time’ Thurman after some vulnerability against Josesito Lopez?” Said Thurman, rhetorically speaking. “Natürlich, I’d like to get the knockout or TKO, but either way, you’re going to see a world class performance that has me standing alone on top of a division that has so many great fighters. I’m trying to be that great, devastating champion once again, and come July 20, I will prove that I am.”

# # # Pacquiao vs. Thurman Headlines Premier Boxing Champions FOX Sports Pay-Per-View Event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas

“You’re going to see a world class performance on July 20 that has me standing alone on top of the division.” – Thurman

ST. PETERSBURG, FL. (Juli 8, 2019) – Keith “Einmal” Thurman’s victories have always been the center of conversation. Even with nine championship fights and eight title defenses already under his belt, his Saturday, Juli 20 fight against Manny Pacquaio could prove to be the most significant, as he steps onto boxing’s biggest stage looking to capture a momentous victory.

Pacquiao vs. Thurman will pit the undefeated WBA Welterweight World Champion Thurman against boxing’s only eight-division world champion and Philippine Senator Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The FOX pay-per-view begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and tickets for the event, which is promoted by MP Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased online through AXS.com, Aufladen per Telefon unter 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

Coming off a majority decision over Josesito Lopez that ended a 22-month ring absence in January, Thurman (29-0, 22 KOs), 30, had won a close unanimous decision over former title holder “Show Time” Shawn Porter in June 2016 and a split-decision over two-division title winner Danny “Schnell” Garcia in March 2017, adding Garcia’s WBC crown to his WBA version, before he vacated the WBC title due to injury.

Thurman broke down all of his title performances in anticipation of the fight that could cement his place amongst boxing’s best of this era.

KO 10 Diego Chaves, Juli 27, 2013, AT&T Center, San Antonio: The 24-year-old Thurman came off a near-shutout unanimous decision over former champion Jan Zaveck in March 2013 and faced an unbeaten Argentine interim WBA champion who was after his fifth consecutive stoppage win and had knocked out 18 von 22 Gegner.

Thurman traded early power shots, controlled tempo with his athleticism and boxing ability and floored Chaves with a ninth round left hook to the liver before dropping him for the final time with a right hand in the 10th Runde. Chaves failed to beat the count as Thurman became a 147-pound titleholder.

“The Diego Chaves fight was the biggest fight of my career, elevating me to the WBA interim champion,” Said Thurman. “I broke him down round by round and landed a beautiful body shot in the ninth round and after that it was a matter of time. That was a fight that earned me worldwide respect and was the start of everything for me.”

DIE 9 Jesus Soto Karass, Dezember 14, 2013, Alamodome, San Antonio:Soto Karass’ previous victory was a 12th-round stoppage of two-time belt holder Andre Berto in a fight that saw him rise from an 11th-round knockdown. Hurt by a hard right in the first round, Thurman recovered, flooring Soto Karass with a left uppercut in the fifth and again from a powerful combination in the ninth as the referee ended matters.

“Soto Karass was coming off a victory over Andre Berto which made it an important measuring stick fight for me,” Said Thurman, “He did open the fight by tagging me in the first round, but I dropped him in the fifth and again in the ninth and was able to finish him off for my first title defense.”


RTD 3 Julio Diaz, April 26, 2014, StubHub Center, Carson, Calif: In a one-sided beat-down, former champion Diaz took a knee from a left to the temple the second round and retired prior to the fourth from a body shot that caused rib damage. Diaz never fought again.

“That was a tremendous fight for me as the headliner in my first main event,” Said Thurman. “Diaz was coming off of good showings against Shawn Porter, fighting Porter to a draw once, and Amir Khan, whom he dropped in their fight. I also had the opportunity to make a statement. I did that by stopping him in only three rounds.”

UD 12 Leonard Bundu, Dezember 13, 2014, the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas: A previously unbeaten 40-year-old switch-hitting veteran, Bundu (31-1-2, 11 KO) was dropped by a first-round right hand in a shutout victory (120-107 drei Mal) for Thurman who ended an eight-month ring absence and was recovering from an injured left shoulder.


“Bundu was a switch-hitting awkward fighter. I switched [to southpaw] on him in the first round and dropped him with a right hand,” Said Thurman. “I out boxed him and really gave the world a taste of how good of a boxer I am. It was an easy blowout.”

UD 12 Robert Guerrero, März 7, 2015, the MGM Grand Grand Garden Arena: Thurman entered this bout after having been elevated to the full champion before facing Guerrero (32-3-1, 18 KOs), a two-division title winner. He overcame a grotesque hematoma above his left eye from an accidental clash of heads, gesunken “The Ghost” in the ninth-round, and lost a combined four rounds in PBC’s first ever main event.

“Guerrero had fought Floyd Mayweather and I was happy to have a common opponent with Floyd, so that I could prove to the world that I deserved a shot at Mayweather,” Said Thurman. “I had to overcome that adversity of having that hematoma by knocking him down in the ninth round. That fight really raised my stock to another level.”

RTD 7 Luis Collazo, Juli 11, 2015, USF Sundome, Tampa: Thurman overcame a crippling left hand to the liver in the fifth round to become only the man to stop Collazo, a former champion who had gone the distance in losses to Ricky Hatton, Shane Mosley, Andre Berto and Amir Khan. In a homecoming fight, Thurman opened a deep gash over Collazo’s right eye with his own left hook, eventually resulting in the southpaw’s retiring on his stool after the seventh round.

“I was able to survive that body shot to perform in the next round. The fight was taking its toll on him though. I was becoming more comfortable and accurate as I physically broke him down,” Said Thurman. “The arena was electric, and the love was amazing. It was a great homecoming to defend my world title near where I grew up in Clearwater, Florida.”

UD 12 Shawn Porter, Juni 25, 2016, Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York:Thurman overcame a bullish former champion in Porter (26-2-1, 16 KOs) before an electric crowd, winning a give-and-take, blood-and-guts brawl by scores of 115-113, auf allen drei Richtern’ Karten. Highlights were Thurman’s clean right hand-left hook combination that buckled Porter’s knees late in the third round, a 10th-round left hook that did the same, and an even more vicious head-swiveling hook in Round 11 of a Fight of The Year standout from 2016.

“Our fight was tough, back and forth, but by no means was Shawn Porter going to take my title,” Said Thurman. “I pushed myself over the final rounds to make sure I’d be victorious in what was one of the ‘Fight of The Year’ contenders that year. That fight proved to everyone that I can win any type of fight, against any type of fighter.”

SD 12 Danny Garcia, März 4, 2017, Barclays Center: Thurman won a clash of 28-year-olds over the then unbeaten Garcia (33-0, 19 KOs), along with the WBC’s crown in just the 10th title unification in division history and only the third between a pair of unbeaten fighters. The crowd of 16,533 represented the highest attended boxing match at Barclays Center to date. Thurman’s movement disrupted the timing of Garcia, a Philadelphia-based fighter who was a unified champion at 140-pounds.

“This was two undefeated welterweights going toe-to-toe in the prime of their careers. Danny Garcia’s a sharp puncher who won the WBC’s vacant title that Floyd Mayweather gave up for retirement,” Said Thurman. “But after beating Shawn Porter, I knew Danny would be an easy fight. This was my first chance to beat an undefeated world champion, and I came out swinging on him in round one to make a statement that his world title was about to be mine.”

LAS VEGAS (Juni 6, 2019) – Undefeated former world champion Omar “Der Panterita” Figueroa Jr. annimmt Yordenis Ugás in a 12-round WBC welterweight title eliminator highlighting a loaded undercard in support of the Manny Pacquaio vs. Keith Thurman battle for welterweight supremacy that headlines Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View on Saturday, Juli 20 von der MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The show opens with former world champions squaring-off as undefeated power-puncher Luis “Pantera” Nery takes on slick-boxing Juan Carlos Payano in a 12-round bantamweight bout at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

The stacked card is the perfect accompaniment for the summer’s biggest fight, which will pit boxing’s only eight-division world champion and Philippine Senator Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao against undefeated WBA Welterweight World Champion Keith “Einmal” Thurman in a powerhouse 147-pound showdown in the main event. This high-stakes match will firmly give the winner a claim for the top spot in one of boxing’s deepest and most talented divisions.

Tickets für die Veranstaltung, which is promoted by MP Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased online through AXS.com, Aufladen per Telefon unter 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

“MP Promotions is proud to be co-presenting this all-action undercard with PBC and FOX Sports,” said Sean Gibbons, President of MP Promotions. “It will be a historic night of boxing, spanning many platforms and this is the type of PPV undercard that is jam packed with top-flight boxers. When you look at the fighters involved in supporting what is the best biggest fight of the year – Pacquiao vs. Thurman – you can be assured that the night will be filled with non-stop action.”

Figueroa (28-0-1, 19 KOs) is a come forward boxer-puncher who’s yet to meet an opponent who could slow down his relentless style. The 29-year-old from Weslaco, Texas, is coming off a unanimous decision victory over John Molina Jr. in February on FOX. A former lightweight world champion, Figueroa owns victories over former world champions including Robert Guerrero, Ricky Burns and Antonio DeMarco.

“I’m excited for this fight against a talented Olympian who’s very skilled,” sagte Figueroa. “I know he will be moving around the ring a lot, so I’m going to have to move with him and chase him all night. I’m going to have to be in really good shape and work hard on my conditioning. This fight has definitely raised the stakes for me, so I know I have to be ready. I’m going to have a good camp and come in with excellent preparation for July 20.”

The 32-year-old Ugás (23-4, 11 KOs) has been one of the busiest welterweight contenders in boxing the last two years, fighting three times in both 2017 und 2018. Ugás, who is from Santiago, Cuba and now lives in Miami, Florida, was on an eight-fight win streak before losing a narrow split-decision to Shawn Porter in a world title fight on FOX in March.

“I’m very excited to be on the biggest card of the year,” said Ugás. “Omar Figueroa Jr. is a tremendous fighter, and that’s the style I like to face. I’m an all-action fighter and the fans are going to be in for a full course meal before the actual main event. Das kann ich versprechen. You don’t want to miss this event and you don’t want to miss this war. I’m grateful to FOX Sports and PBC for including me in an event of this magnitude.”

The 30-year-old Lipinets (15-1, 11 KOs) made a successful debut at 147-pounds in March with a TKO victory over former two-division champion Lamont Peterson in a PBC on FS1 fight that is an early Fight of the Year frontrunner. Lipinets, who was born in Kazakhstan, grew up in Russia and now lives in Los Angeles, has only one loss on his record. He lost his 140-pound belt in a 2018 showdown against four-division champion Mikey Garcia.

“There’s no slowing down in my march to get that welterweight championship belt,” Said Lipinets. “Wie immer, I’m fighting a guy that is very dangerous and tough to the last bell. My title shot is right around the corner. I’m very excited to be part of a show like this and I’m grateful for these opportunities in my career and I promise that I’ll earn my keep. I’m looking forward to becoming a two-time world champion.”

Molina (30-8, 24 KOs) is coming off a close unanimous decision loss to Omar Figueroa Jr. im Februar. A tough veteran brawler, Molina, of West Covina, Kalifornien, has been in the ring with some of the top boxers at lightweight, junior welterweight and welterweight. Over his 13-year career he’s been involved in multiple Fight of the Year contenders while picking up victories over Ruslan Provodnikov, Mickey Bey, Hank Lundy and Ivan Redkach.

“It’s going to be another barnburner like every one of my fights,” Said Molina. “My opponent is tough and durable, so I know it is going to be another exciting fight for my fans. There’s no surprises at this stage of the game for me. This is going to be a huge night from top to bottom and I can’t wait.”

Nery (29-0, 23 KOs) is a power puncher and has stopped his last 10 Gegner und 14 seiner letzten 15. He scored a TKO victory over Shinsuke Yamanaka for the world bantamweight title in 2018. The 24-year-old southpaw from Tijuana, Mexico is coming off a dominant stoppage victory over McJoe Arroyo on the March PBC on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View.

“I am thrilled to be back on a PBC on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event and to be fighting on a card with my friend, Senator Manny Pacquiao,” Said Nery. “To fight in Las Vegas has been a dream of mine since I turned professional. All the great Mexican fighters have fought in the fight capital of the world. My fight against Juan Carlos Payano is the last step to me getting my shot at the WBC championship and getting my belt back. Viva Mexico!”

Payano (21-2, 9 KOs) is coming off a unanimous decision victory over then-unbeaten Damien Vazquez in October on FS1. It was a bounce back victory from his loss to Naoya Inoue in a world title match last October. The only other loss in the career of the 35-year-old from La Vega, Dominican Republic came in another world title match, when he dropped a majority decision to Rau’shee Warren in 2016, after previously beating Warren for the title in 2015.

“Manny Pacquiao has been my favorite fighter since I’ve been a pro and I’m very excited to be fighting on this pay-per-view,” said Payano. “I even nicknamed myself ‘Baby Pacquiao,’ so this is a special honor. Fighting Luis Nery is also a great opportunity for me. Luis is a very hungry, strong fighter looking to regain his championship status. Leider, he is not going to do that with me. I’m sure he will be ready and come for war, and so will I.”

Gaballo Captures First World Championship with Unanimous Decision over Young in “Rumpeln Sie am Felsen” at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar
Reymart “GenSan Assassin” Gaballo von General Santos City, Philippinen, captured his first version of a world title and introduced himself to the world stage with a unanimous decision victory over perennial top contender Stephon “Showstopper” Jung St.. Louis.
Fighting in the main event of Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory’s “Rumpeln Sie am Felsen” im Hard Rock Event Center im Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, the hard-punching Gaballo (19-0, 16 KOs) became the WBA Interim World Bantamweight Champion with unanimous scores of 118-109, 117-110 und 117-110.
Jung, jetzt 17-1-3, 7 KOs, was down in round three and badly hurt, but to his credit, got up and kept it exciting and closer than the scores indicate throughout the remainder of the 12 Runde.
The speed and reflexes of 19-year-old Honolulu-based welterweight prospect Logan “Korican Kid” Yoon (11-0, 10 KOs) overcame the determination and experience of former two-time world champion Juan Carlos Salgado (27-8-1, 16 KOs) of Mexico City over 10 workmanlike rounds.
Fighting for the NABO Super Lightweight Championship, Yoon showed surprising poise and maturity for a young fighter in his 11th fight and seemed unphased to be facing such an accomplished foe. His sharp counters landed with regularity on the tough former champion. Zu seiner Ehre, Salgado fought bravely, but at 33 Jahre alt, seems to have lost a step.
Die Noten waren 100-89, 97-92 und 98-91, unanimously for Yoon.
Former WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion Juan Carlos Payano survived a real scare against “Magic” Mike Plania in their 10-round brawl for the NABO Super Bantamweight Championship.
After a strong first couple rounds, Plania, jetzt 14-1, 7 KOs, had Payano down and badly hurt near the end of round three.
He never really threatened Payano again. A consummate professional, Payano (20-1, 9 KOs), of Miami via La Vega, Dominikanische Republik, came out for round four with the answers for neutralizing the harder punches of his Philippine opponent and never lost another round.
Die Noten waren 96-93, 97-92 und 97-92, unanimously for the new champion Payano.
The 6-foot 9-inch heavyweight from Kissimmee, Florida, via Rudniy, Kasachstan, Ivan Dychko (7-0, 6 KOs) scored a highlight-reel first-round, one-punch knockout over Miami Beach’s formerly undefeated Stephan Kirnon (2-1, 2 KOs).
Kirnon, admirably, came out aggressive against the giant, but quickly ran into a shot that propelled him violently into the floor. The fight was immediately waved off at :38. Dychko, a two-time Olympic Super Heavyweight Bronze medallist, could not have been more impressive.
In a 10-round battle for the NABA-USA Featherweight Championship Miami via Ekibastuz, Kazakhstan bomber Mussa “Warrior” Tursyngaliyev (8-0, 7 KOs) clubbed away at brave, but outgunned Luis “Barcelo” Hinojosa (31-14, 18 KOs) Santo Domingo, Dominikanische Republik, until stopping him at the end of round three.
Tursyngaliyev is very strong and accurate, and he had things all his way throughout. He scored a knockdown in the second and finished it a round later. Hinojosa elected to stay on his stool, probably wisely.
Miami super welterweight JD “Schönling” Martinez (9-0, 7 KOs)
managed to squeak out a questionable majority six-round decision over fellow Floridian Jose “Colombian Necktie” Cortes (3-2, 1 KO) of West Palm Beach.
Cortes chased Martinez around the ring, seemingly with the harder punches and a more aggressive demeanor, but it was not enough to please the judges. They scored it 57-57 draw against 58-56 und 58-56 for Martinez.
Popular Miami welterweight Harold Calderon (15-0, 9 KOs) took a round or two to settle in against Barranquilla, Colombia’s Ronald “Wild” Montes (18-8, 16 KOs), aber doch, once he got his rhythm, it was all over.
The powerful undefeated southpaw lobbed enough accurate bombs to convince his Colombian foe to pack it in at the end of third round of their scheduled six. The official result is TKO 3 bei 2:59. Calderon is ready for deeper water.
In an entertaining all-Florida super bantamweight bout, Miami’s popular Jessy “Beast Boy” Kreuz (12-7-1, 5 KOs) and Palm Bay’s Sam Rodriquez (5-2, 3 KOs) slugged it out over six exciting rounds.
Schließlich, Rodriquez took a razor-thin unanimous decision (58-55, 57-56 und 57-56) on the strength of a fourth-round knockdown.
Fighting out of the southpaw stance, the heavily muscled Cruz got out to an early lead and rocked the smaller Rodriquez with his thudding left hand. But Rodriquez hung tough and clawed back into it by round three.
The pair went back and forth the entire fight and it could have gone either way.
Former WBO Asia Pacific Light Heavyweight Champion Steve “The Ambassador” Geffrard (17-2, 12 KOs) of Boca Raton stopped Budapest, Ungarn Zoltan Sera (38-16-1, 20 KOs) in the fourth of a scheduled six.
For the first three rounds, Geffrard, who lost his first two fights and hasn’t lost since, shook off the rust and kept his composure against the awkward offerings of his European foe. He finally broke through in the fourth, scoring two knockdowns and prompting Referee Sam Burgos to wave it off at :39.
Miami’s Jorge De Jesus Romero (5-0, 4 KOs) put on a bodyshot clinic in his abbreviated six-round super bantamweight battle against Hungarian veteran Silvester Türen (12-10-1, 2 KOs).
In der ersten, Romero came forward like an aggressive buzzsaw against the circling Ajtai. In der zweiten, he lowered the boom, scoring three consecutive bodyshot knockdowns, and necessitating a stoppage at 2:01. Impressive showing for the Florida prospect.
The son of a legend, Robert Duran Jr. of Fort Lauderdale made his impressive professional welterweight debut by stopping Orlando’s also debuting Miguel Morales Platzhalterbild in der vierten Runde.
Morales was no pushover, but Duran, looking like he already has some seasoning, put educated combinations together and waited for his opening. It came in the final stanza, as he scored his first knockdown of Morales with a right to the body left uppercut combo, and then finished things off with a thudding right hand that produced a second knockdown.
Referee James Warring waved it off without a count at 2:21.
