**ORANJE, ZOALS (September 28, 2020)** - Voormalig wereldkampioen super bantamgewicht, **Danny Roman** (28-3-1, 10 KO), heeft zijn zinnen gezet op het uitdagen van nieuw gekroonde WBC-kampioen **Luis Nery** (31-0, 24 KO) na zijn recente unanieme beslissing **Juan Carlos Payano** (21-4, 9 KO). Roman versloeg Payano met tientallen 116-112 over de hele linie in een WBC-titelverwijderingswedstrijd, hem als volgende in de rij zetten om Nery uit te dagen, die eerder ongeslagen versloeg **Aaron Alameda** (25-1, 13 KO) door middel van een unaniem besluit van twaalf ronden, om de lege WBC-band vast te leggen.

'Na het verslaan van Payano, mijn focus is verschoven naar het uitdagen van Luis Nery voor de WBC-titel. " zei Roman, die wordt gepromoot door **Thompson Boxing Promotions**. “Ik ben nu de verplichte uitdager om tegen Nery te vechten en ik geloof dat die strijd gemakkelijk gemaakt kan worden, aangezien we allebei op SHOWTIME vechten met de PBC. Luis Nery is een echte krijger, zoals ik ben, en ik zal altijd bereid zijn om met hem te vechten, overal. Nery is een zeer begaafde vechter en ik denk dat dat gevecht fanvriendelijk zal zijn, waarbij we allebei alles in de ring achterlaten. "

Bovendien, Roman heeft onafgemaakte zaken om te schikken met IBF / WBA-kampioen,**Malika Akhmadaliev** (8-0, 6 KO) nadat hij een close split decision verloor in hun wereldkampioenschapsgevecht die plaatsvond in januari van dit jaar. Roman gaf die avond zijn IBF- en WBA-titels op.

“Ik wil een rematch met Murodjon Akhmadaliev omdat ik denk dat ik dat gevecht gewonnen heb,'Vervolgde Roman. “Als je kampioen vecht voor zijn titels, je moet overtuigend winnen, en ik denk niet dat Akhmadaliev die avond genoeg deed, maar de rechters dachten daar anders over. Ik nam de nederlaag gracieus op met klasse, maar het voelde niet goed. Ik wil mijn verlies wreken. "

Ten slotte, als er geen gevecht kan worden gevoerd met Nery of Akhmadaliev, Roman wil WBO-kampioen, **Angelo Leo** (20-9 KO). In zijn laatste gevecht, Leo veroverde de vacante WBO-wereldtitel met een dominante prestatie tegen een voorheen ongeslagen mededinger, **Tramaine Williams** (19-1, 6 KO).

'Angelo Leo, wie de WBO-titel heeft, is de andere wereldkampioen die ik wil uitdagen,'Concludeerde Roman. “Leo is een andere geweldige vechter die elke keer dat hij vecht opwinding geeft, en ik weet of we ten strijde trekken, het wordt een explosief gevecht. Voor mijn verlies voor Akhmadaliev, Ik was zes jaar ongeslagen. Ik ben er klaar voor om weer wereldkampioen te worden. "

Er zijn zoveel grote gevechten bij super bantamgewicht, omdat deze divisie een van de diepste is in het boksen. Ik wil weer wereldkampioen worden, en een overwinning tegen Payano zal me dichter bij dat doel brengen. "

**NEW YORK - september 1, 2020 -** WBC Super wereldkampioen weltergewicht **Jermell Charlo** en WBA en IBF 154 pond wereldkampioen **Jeison Rosario** een preview van hun blockbuster unification showdown tijdens een virtuele kick-off persconferentie dinsdag toen ze hun main event battle naderen in deel twee van de allereerste SHOWTIME PPV doubleheader op zaterdag, September 26 in een gebeurtenis die door Premier Boxing Champions.

Vijf van de zes vechters die zullen deelnemen aan deel twee van het ongekende evenement namen deel aan de mediaoproep van vandaag. Ongeslagen voormalig kampioen **Luis Nery** zal ongeslagen vechten **Aaron Alameda** voor het vacante WBC Super Bantamweight World Championship in de co-feature, terwijl voormalig verenigd kampioen **Daniel Roman** neemt het op tegen voormalig kampioen **Juan Carlos Payano** in een WBC Super Bantamweight titel eliminator gevecht om het tweede deel van de pay-per-view te openen. Nery kon vanwege technische problemen niet deelnemen aan het gesprek.

Dit is wat de deelnemers aan de virtuele persconferentie dinsdag te zeggen hadden:

**Jermell Charlo:**

"Ik ben sterker en sneller dan ooit tevoren. Het kamp was geweldig. Ik kan niet geloven dat ik zo snel in vorm kwam, maar ik ben nooit uit vorm geraakt. Ik investeer in mezelf en ik doe mijn huiswerk.

“Proficiat aan Rosario voor de kans om door te groeien naar dit niveau. Maar ik weet wat ik bezit in de ring als ik ervoor kies om het uit mij te laten. Ik ben meer klaar voor dit gevecht dan welk gevecht dan ook dat ik ooit heb gehad.

'Mijn nalatenschap staat op het spel. Ik voed mijn gezin op deze manier. Het gaat er niet om wat we gaan zeggen. Het is geen geheim over hoe ik vecht. Ik ben gevaarlijk en ik voel me nu nog gevaarlijker. Ik ben opgewonden om te gaan 12 rondes. Mijn capaciteiten en vaardigheden overtreffen al deze jongens in de divisie. Ik ben nu veel hongeriger. Het vuur is in mij aangestoken.

“Veel mensen waren verrast dat Jeison won van Julian Williams, maar dat was ik eigenlijk niet. Williams had met veel te maken. Maar ik ben een ander soort vechter. Mijn toewijding is anders dan iedereen.

“Er is altijd twijfel geweest over mij en mijn broer. Als ik volwassen word, Het kan me niet schelen wat iemand van buitenaf zegt. Het kan me niet schelen wie de ranglijst haalt. Het is mijn taak om te boksen. Dat was ooit mijn hobby. Ik doe dit voor altijd en ben hierin gegroeid. Ik ben een ander dier. Net zoals Rosario de levels moest halen, Ik heb dat ook gedaan. Ik blijf waar ik ben door mijn harde werk en de manier waarop ik vecht. Het enige wat je hoeft te doen is me daarbuiten te zetten en ik ga het voor je halen.

“Ik geloof dat mijn laatste twee gevechten en de verschillende stijlen die Tony Harrison had me geholpen hebben. Tony is een geweldige vechter. Je kijkt naar zijn record en je weet dat hij kan slaan, maar ik ben gewoon anders. Dat is wat ervoor zorgde dat ik bovenaan kwam te staan en het eerste gevecht dichtbij maakte. De ervaring die ik in die gevechten had, zal me nog meer een voorsprong geven in dit gevecht.

"Er zijn zoveel dingen die ik doe, waardoor ik geloof dat ik de beste in de divisie ben. Ik kan doorgaan, maar ik ben een leeuw in de kooi, laat me eruit en kijk wat er gebeurt.

"Ik ben sterk van de eerste ronde tot het einde. Als het gaat 12, dan gaat het zover. Ik ben slim en weet hoe ik vallen moet opzetten. Ik ga het spelplan niet onthullen, maar ik speel niet rond in de ring. "

**JEISON ROSARIO:**

'Dit gaat een grote oorlog worden. Ik ben toegewijd en gemotiveerd voor dit gevecht en ik weet wat het betekent om het op te nemen tegen een vechter van Jermells kwaliteit, dus de training verloopt geweldig. Ik ben er zo klaar voor.

“Ik heb nu nog meer honger dan voordat ik de titels won. Ik ben meer gemotiveerd. Het verlangen in mij en het vuur in mij brandt om deze strijd tegen een geweldige jager in Jermell Charlo te winnen. Zoals de Dominicaanse mensen zeggen, ‘We moeten vooruit blijven gaan’ en dat is wat ik van plan ben te doen in deze strijd.

“Jermell Charlo en Julian Williams zijn beslist twee verschillende soorten vechters. Ik denk dat Williams iets sneller is, maar Jermell is beslist sterker en heeft meer kracht. Daarom heb ik me een beetje anders moeten voorbereiden op dit gevecht. Met betrekking tot wie volgens mij de betere vechter is - ik wil niets van beide jongens afnemen. Williams was een geweldige vechter en hij werd als nee beschouwd. 1 toen ik tegen hem vocht, dat is nu dezelfde positie waarin Jermell Charlo zich bevindt. Ze hebben allebei hun verdiensten, maar ik zou niet zeggen welke de betere vechter is. Jermell wordt beschouwd als de beste jager bij 154 nu.

“Een ding is veranderd sinds mijn verlies voor Nathaniel Gallimore in 2017 is mijn volwassenheid. Naarmate de gevechten groter en belangrijker worden, Ik ben zeker de gelegenheid aangegaan en de uitdaging aangegaan. Ik train harder en er komt meer focus op dit gevecht.

“Deze strijd betekent veel voor me. Het is absoluut het belangrijkste gevecht in mijn carrière en ik ben erg dankbaar. Ik ben mijn trainer dankbaar en voor deze kans die mij is gegeven om te vechten tegen de beste vechter in de divisie. Dit is een geweldig moment en sommige mensen denken dat ik niet zal winnen. Ik weet dat het elektrisch wordt.

“Ik beschouw dit als mijn tijd. Rijken vallen. Presidenten vallen. Koninkrijken vallen. Het is allemaal erg interessant omdat het onder het merk Charlo valt, je hebt de leeuw en je hebt de jager en zo. Maar tijdens het gevecht, je gaat erachter komen wie echt de jager is. Ik ben een krijger en we zullen die avond zien wie echt de jager is en op wie er wordt gejaagd. "

**AARON ALAMEDA:**

"We hebben erg hard getraind en we weten dat we een moeilijke tegenstander hebben in Luis Nery, maar we zijn klaar voor hem.

"In alle eerlijkheid, misschien staan de namen die je op papier ziet waarmee ik te maken heb niet in Nery's klas, maar als je me in september ziet 26, je zult weten waar ik van gemaakt ben.

"Het is waar dat Nery eerder moeite heeft gehad om aan te komen, maar dat is zijn probleem. Of hij zwaarder wordt of niet, Daar heb ik geen last van. Ik concentreer me op wat ik in september moet doen 26, dus ik heb me niet echt gefocust op de vraag of hij gaat aankomen. Ik ben degene die klaar zal zijn.

“Dit is absoluut een stap voor mij, dat ontkennen we niet. Maar strategisch, we hebben aan bepaalde dingen gewerkt waarvan we weten dat ze zullen helpen om de nacht te vechten. We hebben veel video's over Luis Nery gezien en geleerd hoe we dit gevecht moeten aanpakken. We hebben een paar dingen gezien die we kunnen doen en dat is wat we in september gaan doen 26.

“Er waren een paar tegenstanders die ik vocht die moeilijk waren, maar één in het bijzonder was [Enrique] Ganzen in Guadalajara. Hij vocht in zijn geboorteplaats en hij had zijn mensen achter zich, maar we wonnen toch dat gevecht. De persoon die mij het hardst heeft geslagen? Zijn naam was [Juan] Jimenez, en we overwonnen nog steeds de kracht die hij die avond toonde om te winnen.

“Ik heb in mijn carrière een paar linkshandigen gevochten en ik voel me eigenlijk beter tegen linkshandigen dan tegen orthodoxe strijders.

"Het lijdt geen twijfel dat Nery een krachtige puncher is, maar we moeten zien hoe hij eruit zal komen - of hij uit de bok komt of dat hij onmiddellijk op zoek gaat naar de knock-out.. We hebben een strategie voor welke manier hij ook naar buiten komt. We zijn er klaar voor. "

**DANIEL ROMAN:**

“Alles gaat prima op training. We hebben enkele aanpassingen gedaan vanwege de pandemie, maar ik zal in september op mijn best zijn 26. We zijn twee voormalige kampioenen, dus dit wordt een kwaliteitsgevecht. We gaan proberen er onze avond van te maken.

“Het doel is om terug te keren naar de wereldtitel, maar ik zie Payano niet over het hoofd. Hij is een kwaliteitsjager. We moeten langs hem heen en hopelijk kunnen we de rematch met Murodjon Akhmadaliev krijgen.

“Payano verloor van grote namen en kwaliteitsvechters. Er kan van alles gebeuren tijdens een gevecht, dus ik bereid me op alles voor. Ik ben bereid om tegen de best mogelijke Payano te vechten. Ik ga hem niet lichtvaardig nemen. Dit is alsof ik de riem verdedigde tegen een andere wereldkampioen.

"Ik ben nu meer gefocust dan ooit. Ik dacht niet dat ik mijn laatste gevecht verloor, Ik dacht dat ik het had gepakt. Nu ben ik op Payano gericht, dus we blijven net zo hard werken als toen ik kampioen was. Het is stap voor stap. Ten eerste is het Payano, dan zullen we daarna zien.

“Het verlies van mijn titels heeft me nog meer gemotiveerd. Ik weet wat mijn volgende doel is. Ik zie Payano niet over het hoofd, maar ik ben op zoek naar een volgende rematch. "

**JUAN CARLOS Payano:**

“We hebben absoluut respect voor Danny Roman. Hij is een geweldige vechter, maar dit is de kans van je leven. We hebben hard getraind en je zult het beste van Payano zien voor deze strijd.

“We hebben fouten gemaakt in die twee gevechten die we verloren van Inoue en Nery waar ze me neerhaalden, maar we zijn voorbereid in de wetenschap dat we vechten tegen een andere goede vechter in Danny Roman en we hebben ons echt goed voorbereid zodat het niet gebeurt. opnieuw. Je leert van je fouten in deze gevechten, dus dat is waarom als ik naar buiten kom, in september zie je een andere Juan Carlos Payano 26.

"Ik heb altijd hard gevochten in al mijn gevechten, maar vooral deze omdat we naar het einde van mijn carrière kijken. Ik weet dat ik een geweldige show voor de fans nodig heb, er is dus zeker een extra urgentie om het beste van mij te laten zien.

"Een bokser onthult nooit wat hij in de ring gaat brengen, maar ik zal zeker preciezer zijn. Dat was iets wat ik niet had tijdens mijn twee verliezen. Ik kan niet te wanhopig zijn. Ik ontdekte dat ik wanhopig was in die twee gevechten, terwijl ik nauwkeuriger had kunnen zijn en het beter had kunnen doen in die aspecten van het gevecht.

"Ik bokst sinds ik zes was en ik heb mijn leven aan boksen gegeven. Het is een geweldige run geweest. Ik respecteer Danny Roman enorm en de mensen kunnen verwachten dat er in september twee krijgers in de ring komen 26 en alles geven. De fans weten dat dit is wat ik ze altijd geef en die avond zal niet anders zijn. "

**DERRICK JAMES, Charlo's Trainer:**

“Trainingskamp is goed geweest. Jermell wordt steeds beter. Ik ben tevreden met wat ik zie en het is nog vroeg in het trainingskamp. We gaan door met bouwen in de aanloop naar het gevecht. We weten dat we een erg stoere vent hebben waarmee we te maken hebben, maar ik geloof dat iedereen die we tegenkwamen taai is. We gaan erheen om op ons best te zijn.

“Ik denk dat de overwinning mooi zou zijn, maar ik denk niet na over wat het voor mij zou doen. Het beste is wat het voor Jermell zou betekenen om drie riemen te hebben. Dit gaat over erfenis. Het gaat over een legacy-gevecht voor Jermell en mijzelf.

“Rosario is een goede vechter. Hij heeft een geleidelijke progressie gehad vanaf het moment dat ik hem tegen Justin DeLoach zag vechten en vervolgens tegen Williams zag vechten. Hij wordt beter. We weten waar we naar kijken. We kennen als de kampioen, hij zou kunnen binnenkomen als een andere vechter. Dus we moeten ook beter worden. Het is een geweldige uitdaging, maar we kijken er naar uit.

"Ik zag Rosario's gevechten voor Williams, dus ik wist dat hij taai zou zijn. Ik was verrast hoe het ging, want Williams is een sterke jager. Maar Rosario kwam echt tevoorschijn en hij had de juiste foto's om hem daar weg te krijgen. We verwachten op 26 september een geweldige jager. "

**LUIS "CHIRO" PEREZ, Rosario's trainer:**

“Trainingskamp was geweldig. Alles ging precies zoals we het wilden, en nog wat. Zelfs in deze tijden, we waren in staat om ons volledige trainingskamp te doen zoals we het wilden. Er zijn geen obstakels.

“Jeison is sterker en slimmer dan ooit. We kijken ernaar uit om te laten zien dat we bij deze wedstrijd horen. We weten dat het een hele opgave is tegen de beste 154-pond-jager ter wereld, maar we willen zijn positie. Hij is de man in deze gewichtsklasse en we willen de wereld bewijzen dat we op dat niveau thuishoren.

'Jeison had tot voor kort nog nooit van zijn leven een echt trainingskamp gedaan. Hij trainde op elke manier die hij kon bedenken en hij zou veel last-minute gevechten krijgen. Dat veranderde voor het gevecht van Williams en dat is veranderd voor dit gevecht. Alles wat hij heeft overwonnen, hij is klaar met verlangen. Hij doet nu het juiste trainingskamp en eet op de juiste manier. Ik denk dat je Rosario knock-out moet slaan om hem te verslaan. September 26, we zullen zien of ik gelijk heb. "

**STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President, Sport en Event Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.:**

"Boven naar beneden, dit is de kaart van de hoogste kwaliteit waarmee ik ooit ben geassocieerd. De afgelopen jaren, er zijn veel nieuwe bedrijven en veel activiteit in het boksen en zelfs met al het geld, de deals, de bedrijven, en alles wat ze zogenaamd naar de tafel brengen, niemand heeft dit soort evenementen gedaan. Niemand anders doet kaarten op dit niveau — zo groot en met zoveel kwaliteit. Dit is een evenement voor de echte vechtfan. Wereldkampioen na wereldkampioen, een verzameling van enkele van de beste vechters ter wereld allemaal op één kaart. zes gevechten, vijf van hen wereldtitelgevechten, alles op één pay-per-view.

“Dit is een kaart vol knallers. Het enige gevecht dat geen wereldtitelgevecht is, die tussen Danny Roman en Juan Carlos Payano, is een match tussen een voormalig verenigd kampioen en een voormalig wereldkampioen – dus er is daar geen tekort aan prestaties. Je hebt voormalig kampioen Luis Nery ongeslagen, wie komt uit een streak van 11 opeenvolgende knock-outs, op weg naar een nieuwe gewichtsklasse om het op te nemen tegen de ongeslagen Aaron Alameda. Ons tweede hoofdevenement van de avond, Jermell Charlo en Jeison Rosario, zoals de eerste, is een matchup tussen de twee beste boksers die momenteel in de divisie vechten. We hebben geen overdrijving of overdrijving nodig. Simpel gezegd, dit is het beste gevecht dat kan worden geleverd in de superweltergewichtdivisie. "

**LAS VEGAS** (Juli 21, 2019) – Boxing’s only eight-division world champion, **Senator Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao** gedaald **Keith “Een Keer” 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. Hij was sterk. 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 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 naar 195, while Pacquiao was busier throwing 686 slagen op 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 hoogtepunt HIER

Pacquiao had a large advantage in jabs landed, aansluiten op 82 to Thurman’s 18. De 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.

Na 12 rondes, 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.”

“Ik denk (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 Ugas** (24-4, 11 KO) drop previously unbeaten **Omar Figueroa** (28-1-1, 19 KO) 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. Echter, the inside fighting led to Ugas being deducted a point by the referee in round five for holding.

“Ugas fought a smart fight,” Said 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 naar 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.”

Na 12 rondes, 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 KO) score a highlight-reel knockout against **Jayar Inson** (18-3, 12 KO) 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. Het was gewoon een kwestie van tijd. 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 seconden in de 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,” 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 KO) deliver a ninth-round knockout of former bantamweight champion **Juan Carlos Payano** (21-3, 9 KO).

“I wasn’t really paying attention to how long the fight was going, I was just getting into a rhythm as it went on,” zei 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 naar 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,” zei 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 de ronde.

“I wanted to get him out early,” zei 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” Plant** (19-0, 11 KO) retain his title with a dominant third-round knockout over previously unbeaten **Mike Lee** (21-1, 11 KO).

“It went exactly how I planned it would go,” genoemde plant. “Absoluut. 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.”

Plant got off to a fast-start, dropping Lee with a left hook late in the first round. The unbeaten challenger was able to recover and survive the round, but was hard-pressed to make up for the hand speed advantage of Plant.

“I think I have a high boxing IQ and I do this at a really high level,” genoemde plant. “So it was just about making adjustments. Hij is een grote, 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,” zei Lee. “I had some success with my right hands but wasn’t able to be consistent with it.”

In ronde drie, 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 de ronde.

“I had no issue with the stoppage, that’s the referee’s job and I respect it,” zei Lee.

Na het gevecht, Benavidez was asked about a possible unification fight against the winner of the just announced Anthony Dirrell vs. David Benavidez WBC Super Middleweight Championship fight.

“Oh yeah, we can definitely unify,” genoemde plant. “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 KO) score a unanimous decision over **Ali Eren Demirezen** (11-1, 10 KO) 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, landing 10 van 45 jabs per round, doubling the heavyweight average. Echter, 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, landing 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. weer.”

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

Na 10 rounds of action all three judges scored the fight in favor of Ajagba, door scores van 99-91 tweemaal en 97-93.

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 van 22 tegenstanders.

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 10^th ronde. 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.

“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, December 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 drie keer) 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, Maart 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 KO), a two-division title winner.

That fight really raised my stock to another level.”

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.

**UD 12 Shawn Porter, Juni 25, 2016, Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York:**Thurman overcame a bullish former champion in Porter (26-2-1, 16 KO) before an electric crowd, winning a give-and-take, blood-and-guts brawl by scores of 115-113, Op alle drie de rechters’ kaarten.

“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.”

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.”

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. “Natuurlijk, 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.”

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 KO) before an electric crowd, winning a give-and-take, blood-and-guts brawl by scores of 115-113, Op alle drie de rechters’ kaarten. 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, Maart 4, 2017, Barclays Center:** Thurman won a clash of 28-year-olds over the then unbeaten Garcia (33-0, 19 KO), 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.”

**MD 12 Josesito Lopez, Januari 26, 2019, Barclays Center:** Thurman ended an injury-hampered 22-month ring absence against Lopez (36-8, 19 KO), 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 KO), 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 (Januari).

“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. “Natuurlijk, 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.”

***“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 “Een Keer” 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, opladen via de telefoon op 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 KO), 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 “Gierzwaluw” 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 van 22 tegenstanders.

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 10^th ronde. 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.”

**WHO 9 Jesus Soto Karass, December 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, December 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 drie keer) 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, Maart 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 KO), a two-division title winner. He overcame a grotesque hematoma above his left eye from an accidental clash of heads, gedaald “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.”

**LAS VEGAS** (Juni 6, 2019) – Undefeated former world champion **Omar “De Panterita” Figueroa Jr.** neemt **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 van het MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The action also features hard-hitting former world champion **Sergey Lipinet**s going toe-to-toe against rugged veteran **John “De Gladiator” Molina, Jr**. in a 10-round welterweight match. 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 “Een Keer” 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 voor het evenement, which is promoted by MP Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased online through AXS.com, opladen via de telefoon op 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 KO) 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,” Said 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 KO) has been one of the busiest welterweight contenders in boxing the last two years, fighting three times in both 2017 en 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. Dat ik kan beloven. 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 KO) 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. “Zoals altijd, 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 KO) is coming off a close unanimous decision loss to Omar Figueroa Jr. in februari. A tough veteran brawler, Molina, of West Covina, Californië, 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 KO) is a power puncher and has stopped his last 10 opponents and 14 van zijn laatste 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,” zei 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 KO) 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. Helaas, he is not going to do that with me. I’m sure he will be ready and come for war, and so will I.”

September 28, 2018 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

Seizoen I star Mairis Briedis vs. Noel Mikaelian en Krzysztof Glowacki vs. Maksim Vlasov zijn de twee kwartfinales op een ongelooflijke dubbele kop wanneer de World Boxing Super Series naar het UIC-paviljoen in Chicago komt, VS.

“Ik kijk er echt naar uit om te vechten in Chicago,”Zei Briedis (24-1, 18 KO). De Letse held is ongetwijfeld een van de favorieten om de Ali Trophy van seizoen II mee naar huis te nemen in de 200-lb divisie.

“Ik ben blij dat ik terug ben in de World Boxing Super Series, en ik kijk ernaar uit om te vechten voor een VS.. menigte. Ik weet zeker dat er ook veel Letten in de arena zullen zijn om een fantastische sfeer te helpen creëren. "

De tegenstander van Briedis, Noel Mikaelian uit Duitsland (23-1, 10 KO), staat te popelen om op het grootste podium te spelen – slechts een split decision nederlaag, in een IBF-eliminator tegen Krzysztof Wlodarczyk, belette hem deel te nemen aan seizoen I.

“Er zijn alleen vechters van wereldklasse in dit toernooi, maar ik geloof dat mijn ring-IQ me de voorsprong zal geven om het te winnen,”Zei Mikaelian.

Het tweede hoofdevenement in Chicago in november 10 is een krachtige match tussen de voormalige wereldkampioen Krzysztof Glowacki van Polen en de Russische Maksim Vlasov.

'Het plan is simpel: Neem het allemaal, geef niets terug,”Zei Glowacki (30-1, 19 KO)

De spannende linkshandige vochten seizoen I-winnaar Aleksandr Usyk in 2016 - afstand doen van de WBO-riem 12 rondes, hij won de riem in 2015 via knock-out tegen Marco Huck.

“Ik heb lang op mijn kans gewacht, en ik ben vol kracht en grote energie. Ik ga dit toernooi winnen en weer wereldkampioen worden!"

Vlasov (42-2, 25 KO), een vechter met succes bij meerdere gewichten, gaat na de winst ook met veel vertrouwen de kwartfinale in 12 rechte gevechten sinds ze in gewicht zijn gestegen 2015.

Gaballo Captures First World Championship with Unanimous Decision over Young in “Rumble at the Rock” at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood

Maart 27, 2018 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

Reymart “GenSan Assassin” Gaballo van General Santos Stad, Philippines, 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” Jong van St. Louis.

Fighting in the main event of Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory’s “Rumble at the Rock” at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, the hard-punching Gaballo (19-0, 16 KO) became the WBA Interim World Bantamweight Champion with unanimous scores of 118-109, 117-110 en 117-110.

Jong, nu 17-1-3, 7 KO, 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 rondes.

The speed and reflexes of 19-year-old Honolulu-based welterweight prospect Logan “Korican Kid” Yoon (11-0, 10 KO) overcame the determination and experience of former two-time world champion Juan Carlos Salgado (27-8-1, 16 KO) 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. Op zijn naam, Salgado fought bravely, but at 33 jaar oud, seems to have lost a step.

De scores waren 100-89, 97-92 en 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, nu 14-1, 7 KO, 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 KO), of Miami via La Vega, Dominicaanse Republiek, came out for round four with the answers for neutralizing the harder punches of his Philippine opponent and never lost another round.

De scores waren 96-93, 97-92 en 97-92, unanimously for the new champion Payano.

The 6-foot 9-inch heavyweight from Kissimmee, Florida, via Rudniy, Kazachstan, Ivan Dychko (7-0, 6 KO) scored a highlight-reel first-round, one-punch knockout over Miami Beach’s formerly undefeated Stephan Kirnon (2-1, 2 KO).

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 KO) clubbed away at brave, but outgunned Luis “Barcelo” Hinojosa (31-14, 18 KO) van Santo Domingo, Dominicaanse Republiek, 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 “Pretty Boy” Martinez (9-0, 7 KO)

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 en 58-56 for Martinez.

Popular Miami welterweight Harold Calderon (15-0, 9 KO) took a round or two to settle in against Barranquilla, Colombia’s Ronald “Wild” Montes (18-8, 16 KO), maar, 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 bij 2:59. Calderon is ready for deeper water.

In an entertaining all-Florida super bantamweight bout, Miami’s popular Jessy “Beast Boy” Kruis (12-7-1, 5 KO) and Palm Bay’s Sam Rodriquez (5-2, 3 KO) slugged it out over six exciting rounds.

Uiteindelijk, Rodriquez took a razor-thin unanimous decision (58-55, 57-56 en 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 KO) of Boca Raton stopped Budapest, Hungary’s Zoltan Sera (38-16-1, 20 KO) 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 KO) put on a bodyshot clinic in his abbreviated six-round super bantamweight battle against Hungarian veteran Szilveszter Ajtai (12-10-1, 2 KO).

In the first, Romero came forward like an aggressive buzzsaw against the circling Ajtai. In de tweede, 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 in de vierde ronde.

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.
