ORANGE, COMME (Septembre 28, 2020) – Former super bantamweight world champion, Danny 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, qui est promu par 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, ne importe où. Nery is a very gifted fighter and I think that fight will be fan friendly with both of us leaving everything in the ring.”


En outre, 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.”


Enfin, if a fight cannot be made with Nery or Akhmadaliev, Roman wants WBO champion, Angelo Leo (20-9 KOs). Dans son dernier combat, 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,»Conclut Roman. “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 - Septembre 1, 2020 - Champion du Monde WBC Super Welterweight Jermell Charlo et champion du monde WBA et IBF 154 livres Jeison Rosario a présenté un aperçu de leur confrontation à l'unification à succès lors d'une conférence de presse virtuelle de lancement mardi alors qu'ils approchent de leur bataille principale lors de la deuxième partie du tout premier programme double SHOWTIME PPV samedi, Septembre 26 dans un événement présenté par Premier Champions de boxe.

Cinq des six combattants qui participeront à la deuxième partie de cet événement sans précédent ont participé à l’appel des médias d’aujourd’hui. Ancien champion invaincu Luis Nery combattra invaincu Aaron Alameda pour le championnat du monde WBC Super Bantamweight vacant dans le co-long métrage, alors que l'ancien champion unifié Daniel Roman affronte l'ancien champion Juan Carlos Payano dans un combat d'éliminateur de titre WBC Super Bantamweight pour ouvrir la deuxième tranche du pay-per-view. Nery n'a pas pu participer à l'appel en raison de problèmes techniques.

Voici ce que les participants à la conférence de presse virtuelle avaient à dire mardi:

Jermell Charlo:

«Je suis plus fort et plus rapide que jamais. Le camp a été incroyable. Je ne peux pas croire que je me suis mis en forme si vite, mais je ne me suis vraiment jamais déformé. Je fais des investissements en moi-même et je fais mes devoirs.

«Félicitations à Rosario pour avoir eu la chance de passer à ce niveau. Mais je sais ce que je possède dans le ring quand je choisis de le laisser sortir de moi. Je suis plus prêt pour ce combat que n'importe quel combat que j'ai jamais eu.

«Mon héritage est en jeu. Je nourris ma famille de cette façon. Ce n’est pas ce que nous allons dire. Ce n’est pas un secret sur la façon dont je me bats. Je suis dangereux et je me sens encore plus dangereux maintenant. J'ai hâte d'y aller 12 tours. Mes capacités et mes compétences dépassent tous ces gars de la division. J'ai beaucoup plus faim maintenant. Le feu s'est allumé en moi.

«Beaucoup de gens ont été surpris que Jeison ait gagné contre Julian Williams, mais je n'étais pas en fait. Williams avait beaucoup à faire. Mais je suis un autre type de combattant. Mon dévouement est différent de tout le monde.

«Mon frère et moi avons toujours été mis en doute. En mûrissant, Je me fiche de ce que dit quelqu'un à l'extérieur. Peu m'importe qui fait le classement. Mon travail est de boxer. C'était autrefois mon hobby. Je fais ça depuis toujours et je suis devenu ça. Je suis un animal différent. Tout comme Rosario devait monter les niveaux, J'ai fait ça aussi. Je maintiens là où je suis grâce à mon travail acharné et à la façon dont je me bats. Tout ce que tu as à faire est de me mettre là-bas et je vais aller le chercher pour toi.

«Je crois que mes deux derniers combats et les différents styles que Tony Harrison avait m'ont aidés. Tony est un grand combattant. Tu regardes son dossier et tu sais qu'il peut frapper, mais je suis juste différent. C’est ce qui m’a permis de prendre le dessus et de clôturer le premier combat. L'expérience que j'ai eue dans ces combats me donnera encore plus d'avantage dans ce combat.

"Il y a tellement de choses que je fais qui me font croire que je suis le meilleur de la division. Je peux continuer encore et encore, mais je suis un lion dans la cage, laisse moi sortir et vois ce qui se passe.

«Je suis fort du premier tour à la fin. Si ça va à 12, alors ça va aussi loin. Je suis intelligent et je sais comment installer des pièges. Je ne vais pas divulguer le plan de match, mais je ne joue pas sur le ring. "

JEISON ROSARIO:

«Cela va être une grande guerre. Je suis dévoué et motivé pour ce combat et je sais ce que cela signifie d’affronter un combattant de la qualité de Jermell, donc la formation s'est très bien déroulée. Je suis tellement prêt.

«J'ai encore plus faim maintenant qu'avant de remporter les titres. Je suis plus motivé. Le désir à l'intérieur de moi et le feu à l'intérieur de moi brûlent de gagner ce combat contre un grand combattant dans Jermell Charlo. Comme le disent les dominicains, «Nous devons continuer à avancer» et c’est ce que j’ai l’intention de faire dans ce combat.

«Jermell Charlo et Julian Williams sont définitivement deux types de combattants différents. Je pense que Williams a un peu plus de rapidité mais Jermell est définitivement plus fort et a plus de puissance. C’est pourquoi j’ai dû me préparer un peu différemment pour ce combat. En ce qui concerne qui je pense être le meilleur combattant - je ne veux rien enlever à aucun des deux. Williams était un grand combattant et il était considéré comme non. 1 quand je l'ai combattu, qui est maintenant la même position que Jermell Charlo est dans. Ils ont tous les deux leurs mérites mais je ne dirais pas lequel est le meilleur combattant. Jermell est considéré comme le meilleur combattant du 154 maintenant.

«Une chose qui a changé depuis ma défaite contre Nathaniel Gallimore en 2017 est ma maturité. Au fur et à mesure que les combats deviennent plus gros et plus importants, Je me suis vraiment attelé à l'occasion et au défi. Je m'entraîne plus fort et je me concentre davantage sur ce combat à venir.

«Ce combat compte beaucoup pour moi. C'est certainement le combat le plus important de ma carrière et je suis très reconnaissant. Je suis reconnaissant à mon entraîneur et pour cette opportunité qui m’a été donnée de combattre le meilleur combattant de la division. C'est un grand moment et certaines personnes pensent que je ne gagnerai pas. Je sais que ça va être électrique.

«Je considère que c'est mon temps. Les empires tombent. Les présidents tombent. Les royaumes tombent. Tout cela est très intéressant car sous la marque Charlo, vous avez le lion et vous avez le chasseur et tout ça. Mais pendant le combat, vous allez découvrir qui est vraiment le chasseur. Je suis un guerrier et nous allons voir cette nuit-là qui est vraiment le chasseur et qui est celui qui va être chassé. "

AARON ALAMEDA:

«Nous nous sommes entraînés très dur et nous savons que nous avons un adversaire coriace à Luis Nery, mais nous sommes prêts pour lui.

"En toute honnêteté, peut-être que les noms que vous voyez sur papier que j'ai rencontrés ne sont pas dans la classe de Nery, mais quand tu me vois en septembre 26, tu vas savoir de quoi je suis fait.

«C’est vrai que Nery a déjà eu du mal à prendre du poids mais c’est son problème. S'il fait du poids ou s'il ne le fait pas, Ça ne me dérange pas. Je me concentre sur ce que je dois faire en septembre 26, donc je ne me suis pas vraiment demandé s'il allait faire du poids. Je suis celui qui va être prêt.

«C'est définitivement un pas en avant pour moi, nous ne nions pas que. Mais stratégiquement, nous avons travaillé sur certaines choses dont nous savons qu'elles vont aider à venir se battre la nuit. Nous avons vu beaucoup de vidéos sur Luis Nery et avons appris comment nous devons aborder ce combat. Nous avons vu plusieurs choses que nous pouvons faire et c'est ce que nous allons faire en septembre 26.

«Il y avait quelques adversaires que j'ai combattus qui étaient difficiles mais un en particulier était [Enrique] Oies à Guadalajara. Il se battait dans sa ville natale et il avait son peuple derrière lui mais nous avons quand même gagné ce combat. La personne qui m'a le plus frappé? Son nom était [Juan] Jimenez, Et nous avons encore surmonté la puissance qu'il a montré cette nuit-là pour gagner.

«J'ai combattu quelques gauchers dans ma carrière et je me sens vraiment mieux contre les gauchers que contre les combattants orthodoxes..

"Il ne fait aucun doute que Nery est un puissant puncheur, mais nous devons voir comment il va sortir - s’il sort en boxe ou s’il va chercher le KO immédiatement. Nous avons une stratégie pour la manière dont il sort. Nous serons prêts pour cela. "

DANIEL ROMAIN:

«Tout va très bien à l'entraînement. Nous avons fait quelques ajustements en raison de la pandémie, mais je serai à mon meilleur en septembre 26. Nous sommes deux anciens champions, donc ça va être un combat de qualité. Nous allons essayer d'en faire notre nuit.

«Le but est de retrouver le titre mondial, mais je ne néglige pas Payano. C'est un combattant de qualité. Nous devons le dépasser et j'espère que nous pourrons obtenir le match revanche avec Murodjon Akhmadaliev.

«Payano a perdu contre de grands noms et des combattants de qualité. Tout peut arriver dans un combat, donc je me prépare à tout. Je suis prêt à combattre le meilleur Payano possible. Je ne vais pas le prendre à la légère. C'est comme si je défendais la ceinture contre un autre champion du monde.

«Je suis plus concentré que jamais maintenant. Je ne pensais pas avoir perdu mon dernier combat, Je pensais l'avoir pris. Maintenant, mon esprit est fixé sur Payano, nous continuons donc à travailler aussi dur que lorsque j'étais champion. C’est une étape à la fois. C'est d'abord Payano, alors nous verrons après ça.

«Perdre mes titres m'a motivé encore plus. Je sais quel est mon prochain objectif. Je ne néglige pas Payano, mais je cherche à obtenir cette revanche ensuite. "

JUAN CARLOS Payano:

«Nous respectons définitivement Danny Roman. Il est un grand combattant, mais c'est l'opportunité d'une vie. Nous nous sommes bien entraînés et vous allez voir le meilleur de Payano pour ce combat.

«Nous avons commis des erreurs dans ces deux combats que nous avons perdus contre Inoue et Nery où ils m'ont abattu, mais nous sommes arrivés préparés en sachant que nous combattons un autre bon combattant à Danny Roman et nous nous sommes vraiment bien préparés pour que cela n'arrive pas. encore. Vous apprenez de vos erreurs dans ces combats, c'est pourquoi quand je sors, vous verrez un autre Juan Carlos Payano en septembre 26.

«J'ai toujours combattu dur dans tous mes combats, mais surtout celui-ci car on regarde la fin de ma carrière. Je sais que j'ai besoin d'une belle projection pour les fans, il y a donc une urgence supplémentaire à montrer le meilleur de moi.

«Un boxeur ne révèle jamais ce qu’il va apporter sur le ring mais je vais certainement être plus précis. C'est quelque chose que je n'avais pas dans mes deux défaites. Je ne peux pas être trop désespéré. J'ai trouvé que j'étais désespéré dans ces deux combats alors que j'aurais pu être plus précis et faire un meilleur travail dans ces aspects du combat.

«Je boxe depuis l’âge de six ans et j’ai donné ma vie à la boxe. Cela a été une belle course. Je respecte énormément Danny Roman et les gens peuvent s'attendre à ce que deux guerriers montent sur le ring en septembre 26 et donner tout. Les fans savent que c'est ce que je leur donne toujours et ce soir-là ne sera pas différent.

DERRICK JAMES, Entraîneur de Charlo:

«Le camp d'entraînement a été bon. Jermell va de mieux en mieux. Je suis satisfait de ce que je vois et il est encore tôt dans le camp d’entraînement. Nous allons continuer à construire avant le combat. Nous savons que nous avons un gars très dur à affronter, mais je crois que tous ceux que nous avons affrontés sont durs. Nous y allons pour être à notre meilleur.

«Je pense que la victoire serait belle, mais je ne pense pas à ce que cela ferait pour moi. La meilleure chose à faire est ce que cela signifierait pour Jermell d'avoir trois ceintures. Il s'agit de l'héritage. Il s’agit d’un combat d’héritage pour Jermell et moi-même.

«Rosario est un bon combattant. Il a eu une progression graduelle depuis le moment où je l'ai vu combattre Justin DeLoach, puis passer au combat contre Williams. Il va mieux. Nous savons ce que nous regardons. Nous savons que le champion, il pourrait entrer en tant que combattant différent. Donc nous devons être meilleurs aussi. C’est un grand défi, mais nous avons hâte de le relever.

«J'ai vu les combats de Rosario avant Williams, alors je savais qu'il serait dur. J'ai été surpris de la façon dont cela s'est passé parce que Williams est un combattant fort. Mais Rosario s'est vraiment montré et il avait les bons coups pour le sortir de là. Nous attendons un grand combattant le 26 septembre. »

LUIS "CHIRO" PEREZ, Entraîneur de Rosario:

«Le camp d'entraînement a été formidable. Tout s'est déroulé exactement comme nous le voulions et puis certains. Même à travers ces temps, nous avons pu faire notre camp d'entraînement complet comme nous le voulions. Il n'y a eu aucun obstacle.

«Jeison est plus fort et plus intelligent que jamais. Nous sommes impatients de montrer que nous appartenons à ce concours. Nous savons que c’est un défi de taille contre le meilleur combattant de 154 livres du monde, mais nous voulons sa position. C'est l'homme de cette catégorie de poids et nous voulons prouver au monde que nous appartenons à ce niveau.

«Jeison n'avait jamais fait de vrai camp d'entraînement de sa vie jusqu'à récemment. Il s'est entraîné de toutes les manières possibles et il prendrait beaucoup de combats de dernière minute. Cela a changé pour le combat Williams et cela a changé pour ce combat. Tout ce qu'il a surmonté, il en a fini avec le désir. Il fait le bon camp d'entraînement maintenant et mange de la bonne façon. Je pense que tu dois assommer Rosario pour le battre. Septembre 26, nous allons voir si j'ai raison. "

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Président, Sports et programmation de l'événement, Showtime Networks Inc.:

"De haut en bas, c'est la carte de la plus haute qualité à laquelle j'ai jamais été associée. Au cours des dernières années, il y a eu beaucoup de nouvelles entreprises et beaucoup d'activité dans la boxe et même avec tout l'argent, les offres, les entreprises, et tout ce qu'ils sont censés apporter à la table, personne n'a fait ce genre d'événement. Personne d'autre ne fait de cartes à ce niveau — si grand et avec autant de qualité. C'est un événement pour le vrai fan de combat. Champion du monde après champion du monde, une collection de certains des meilleurs combattants du monde sur une seule carte. six combats, cinq d'entre eux se battent pour le titre mondial, le tout sur un seul pay-per-view.

«C'est une carte pleine de bangers. Le seul combat qui n'est pas un combat pour le titre mondial, celui entre Danny Roman et Juan Carlos Payano, est un affrontement entre un ancien champion unifié et un ancien champion du monde – les réalisations ne manquent donc pas. Vous avez l'ancien champion invaincu Luis Nery, qui sort d'une série de 11 KO consécutifs, passer à une nouvelle catégorie de poids pour affronter Aaron Alameda invaincu. Notre deuxième événement principal de la soirée, Jermell Charlo et Jeison Rosario, comme le premier, est un affrontement entre les deux meilleurs boxeurs qui combattent actuellement dans la division. Nous n'avons pas besoin d'exagération ni d'hyperbole. Autrement dit, c'est le meilleur combat qui puisse être fait dans la division des super poids welters.

LAS VEGAS (Juillet 21, 2019) – Boxing’s only eight-division world champion, Senator MannyPacMan” Pacquiao chuté Keith “Une Fois” 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,” Saïd Pacquiao. “My opponent is a good fighter and boxer. Il était fort. 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,” Saïd 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,” Saïd 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 round 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 à 195, while Pacquiao was busier throwing 686 à coups de poing 571 from Thurman.

I really love the fans,” Saïd 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 surligner ICI

Pacquiao had a large advantage in jabs landed, connexion sur 82 to Thurman’s 18. Le 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.

Après 12 tours, 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,” Saïd Thurman. “Tonight was a blessing and a lesson. Thank you everybody, and thank you Manny Pacquiao.

“Je pense (I will fight) next year,” Saïd 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 Ugas (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. Cependant, the inside fighting led to Ugas being deducted a point by the referee in round five for holding.

Ugas fought a smart fight,” a déclaré 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 à 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 Les manches.”

Après 12 tours, 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,” Saïd Lipinets. “As far as fighting a southpaw, I’ve had so many amateur fights in my kickboxing career that I had no problem adjusting. Il était juste une question de temps. 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 secondes dans la ronde.

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,” Saïd 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,” Ledit 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 à 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,” Ledit 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 dans la ronde.

I wanted to get him out early,” Ledit 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.

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,” a déclaré Lee. “I had some success with my right hands but wasn’t able to be consistent with it.

Dans la troisième manche, 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.

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.

I also had the opportunity to make a statement. I did that by stopping him in only three rounds.

Does Manny belong in the ring with a fighter in his prime? Is Keith Thurman still Keith ‘One TimeThurman after some vulnerability against Josesito Lopez?” Saïd Thurman, rhetorically speaking. “Bien sûr, 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.

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,” Saïd 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.

MD 12 Josesito Lopez, Janvier 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,” Saïd 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), Juillet 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 (Juillet 2018) and unanimous decision Adrien Broner (Janvier).

Does Manny belong in the ring with a fighter in his prime? Is Keith Thurman still Keith ‘One TimeThurman after some vulnerability against Josesito Lopez?” Saïd Thurman, rhetorically speaking. “Bien sûr, 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. (Juillet 8, 2019) – Keith “Une Fois” 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, Juillet 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 MannyPacManPacquiao 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.

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 “Afficher L'Heure” Shawn Porter in June 2016 and a split-decision over two-division title winner Danny “Rapide” 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, Juillet 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 de 22 adversaires.

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 10e tour. 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,” Saïd 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.

OMS 9 Jésus Soto Karass, Décembre 14, 2013, Alamodome, San Antonio:Soto Karassprevious 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,” Saïd 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, Avril 26, 2014, StubHub Center, Carson, Californie: 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,” Saïd 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 Léonard Bundu, Décembre 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 trois fois) 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,” Saïd 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, Mars 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, chuté “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,” Saïd 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, Juillet 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,” Saïd 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, Floride.”

UD 12 Shawn Porter, Juin 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, sur les trois juges’ cartes. 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,” Saïd Thurman. “I pushed myself over the final rounds to make sure I’d be victorious in what was one of the ‘Fight of The Yearcontenders that year. That fight proved to everyone that I can win any type of fight, against any type of fighter.

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. Que je peux promettre. 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) fait un premier succès à 147 livres en Mars avec une victoire par TKO sur l'ancien champion de deux divisions Lamont Peterson dans un PBC sur la lutte FS1 qui est un début de combat de l'année Frontrunner.

Je suis très heureux de faire partie d'un spectacle comme celui-ci et je suis reconnaissant pour ces occasions dans ma carrière et je vous promets que je vais gagner mon donjon. 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. en Février. A tough veteran brawler, Molina, of West Covina, Californie, 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,” Saïd 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 adversaires et 14 de son dernier 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, Le sénateur Manny Pacquiao,” Ledit 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. Malheureusement, he is not going to do that with me. I’m sure he will be ready and come for war, and so will I.

Jeune, maintenant 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 tours.
The speed and reflexes of 19-year-old Honolulu-based welterweight prospect Logan “Korican KidYoon (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. À son crédit, Salgado fought bravely, but at 33 ans, seems to have lost a step.
Les scores étaient 100-89, 97-92 et 98-91, unanimously for Yoon.
Former WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion Juan Carlos Payano survived a real scare against MagicMike Plania in their 10-round brawl for the NABO Super Bantamweight Championship.
After a strong first couple rounds, Plania, maintenant 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, République Dominicaine, came out for round four with the answers for neutralizing the harder punches of his Philippine opponent and never lost another round.
Les scores étaient 96-93, 97-92 et 97-92, unanimously for the new champion Payano.
The 6-foot 9-inch heavyweight from Kissimmee, Floride, via Rudniy, Kazakhstan, Ivan Dytchko (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 MussaWarriorTursyngaliyev (8-0, 7 KOs) clubbed away at brave, but outgunned Luis “Barcelo” Hinojosa (31-14, 18 KOs) de Saint-Domingue, République Dominicaine, 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, sans doute à bon escient.
Miami super welterweight JD “Pretty Boy” 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 et 58-56 for Martinez.
Popular Miami welterweight Harold Calderon (15-0, 9 KOs) took a round or two to settle in against Barranquilla, Colombie Ronald “État sauvage” Montes (18-8, 16 KOs), mais, 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 à 2:59. Calderon is ready for deeper water.
In an entertaining all-Florida super bantamweight bout, Miami’s popular JessyBeast Boy” Croix (12-7-1, 5 KOs) and Palm Bay’s Sam Rodriquez (5-2, 3 KOs) slugged it out over six exciting rounds.
À la fin, Rodriquez took a razor-thin unanimous decision (58-55, 57-56 et 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 AmbassadorGeffrard (17-2, 12 KOs) of Boca Raton stopped Budapest, Hongrie 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.
celui de Miami Jorge De Jesus Romero (5-0, 4 KOs) put on a bodyshot clinic in his abbreviated six-round super bantamweight battle against Hungarian veteran Szilveszter Ajtai (12-10-1, 2 KOs).
En premier, Romero came forward like an aggressive buzzsaw against the circling Ajtai. Dans la seconde, 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 dans le quatrième tour.
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.
