**LARANJA, TAL COMO (Setembro 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, que é promovido pela **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, em qualquer lugar. Nery is a very gifted fighter and I think that fight will be fan friendly with both of us leaving everything in the ring.”

Além, 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.”

Por fim, if a fight cannot be made with Nery or Akhmadaliev, Roman wants WBO champion, **Angelo Leo** (20-9 KOs). Em sua última luta, Leo captured the vacant WBO world title with a dominating performance against previously undefeated contender, **Tramaine Williams** (19-1, 6 KOs).

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

**NOVA IORQUE,** – Setembro 9, 2020 – Former unified super bantamweight champion **Danny Roman** anticipates an action packed showdown as he previewed his upcoming WBC super bantamweight title eliminator bout against former world champion **Juan Carlos Payano** ocorrendo sábado, Setembro 26 in part two of a first-of-its-kind SHOWTIME PPV doubleheader presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

“I’m excited about this next chapter of my career with PBC and fighting on SHOWTIME^®,” said Roman. “I know there will be a lot of big fights that can be made, and I want to thank my promoter Thompson Boxing for always believing in me. No final do dia, I’m an entertainer and I want to give the fans great fights.”

A fatura dupla sem precedentes do pay-per-view apresenta seis lutas atraentes ao todo, cinco dos quais são lutas pelo título mundial, na mesma noite por um preço. Part one of the SHOWTIME PPV telecast begins live at a special time of 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT with the three-fight card topped by unbeaten WBC Champion **Jermall Charlo** facing top contender **Sergiy Derevyanchenko**.

**NOVA YORK - Setembro 1, 2020 -** WBC Super Welterweight Campeão Mundial **Jermell Charlo** e WBA e IBF campeão mundial de 154 libras **Jeison Rosario** pré-visualização de seu confronto de unificação de sucesso durante uma conferência de imprensa virtual inicial na terça-feira, enquanto se aproximavam da batalha do evento principal na parte dois do primeiro doubleheader SHOWTIME PPV no sábado, Setembro 26 em um evento apresentado pela Premier Boxing Champions.

Cinco dos seis lutadores que estarão competindo na parte dois do evento sem precedentes participaram da chamada de mídia de hoje. Ex-campeão invicto **Luis Nery** vai lutar invicto **Aaron Alameda** para a vaga WBC Super Bantamweight World Championship no co-longa, enquanto o ex-campeão unificado **Daniel Roman** enfrenta o ex-campeão **Juan Carlos Payano** em uma luta eliminador de título WBC Super Bantamweight para abrir a segunda parcela do pay-per-view. Nery não pôde participar da chamada devido a problemas técnicos.

Aqui está o que os participantes da coletiva de imprensa virtual disseram na terça-feira:

**Jermell Charlo:**

“Estou mais forte e mais rápido do que nunca. Acampamento tem sido incrível. Não acredito que entrei em forma tão rápido, mas eu realmente nunca fiquei fora de forma. Eu faço investimentos em mim mesmo e faço minha lição de casa.

“Parabéns a Rosário por ter a chance de passar para este nível. Mas eu sei o que possuo no ringue quando opto por deixá-lo sair de mim. Estou mais pronto para essa luta do que qualquer outra que já tive.

“Meu legado está em jogo. Eu alimento minha familia assim. Não é sobre o que vamos dizer. Não é nenhum segredo sobre como eu luto. Eu sou perigoso e me sinto ainda mais perigoso agora. Estou animado para ir 12 rounds. Minha capacidade e habilidades estão excedendo todos esses caras da divisão. Estou com fome agora. O fogo foi aceso em mim.

“Muitas pessoas ficaram surpresas com a vitória de Jeison contra Julian Williams, mas eu na verdade não era. Williams estava lidando com muito. Mas eu sou um tipo diferente de lutador. Minha dedicação é diferente de todos.

“Eu e meu irmão sempre tivemos dúvidas. Como eu amadureci, Eu não me importo com o que alguém de fora diz. Eu não me importo com quem está no ranking. Meu trabalho é boxear. Isso já foi meu hobby. Eu tenho feito isso desde sempre e cresci. Eu sou um animal diferente. Assim como Rosário teve que subir de nível, Eu fiz isso também. Estou mantendo onde estou por causa do meu trabalho duro e da maneira como luto. Tudo o que você precisa fazer é me colocar lá fora e eu vou buscar para você.

“Acredito que minhas duas últimas lutas e os estilos diferentes de Tony Harrison me ajudaram. Tony é um grande lutador. Você olha para o registro dele e sabe que ele pode socar, mas eu sou apenas diferente. Isso é o que me fez sair por cima e fez a primeira luta fechar. A experiência que tive nessas lutas vai me dar ainda mais vantagem entrando nessa luta.

“Há tantas coisas que faço que me fazem acreditar que sou o melhor na divisão. Posso continuar por muito tempo, mas eu sou um leão na gaiola, deixe-me sair e ver o que acontece.

“Estou forte do primeiro turno ao final. Se for para 12, então vai tão longe. Eu sou inteligente e sei como montar armadilhas. Eu não vou divulgar o plano de jogo, mas eu não estou brincando no ringue. "

**JEISON ROSARIO:**

“Esta vai ser uma grande guerra. Estou dedicado e motivado para essa luta e sei o que significa enfrentar um lutador da qualidade de Jermell, então o treinamento está indo muito bem. Estou tão pronto.

“Estou ainda mais faminto agora do que antes de ganhar os títulos. Estou mais motivado. O desejo dentro de mim e o fogo dentro de mim estão queimando para vencer essa luta contra um grande lutador em Jermell Charlo. Como o povo dominicano diz, ‘Temos que seguir em frente’ e é isso que pretendo fazer nesta luta.

“Jermell Charlo e Julian Williams são definitivamente dois tipos diferentes de lutadores. Acho que Williams tem um pouco mais de rapidez, mas Jermell é definitivamente mais forte e tem mais potência. É por isso que eu tive que me preparar um pouco diferente para esta luta. Em relação a quem eu sinto que é o melhor lutador - eu não quero tirar nada de nenhum dos dois. Williams foi um grande lutador e foi considerado Não.. 1 quando eu lutei com ele, que agora é a mesma posição em que Jermell Charlo está. Ambos têm seus méritos, mas eu não diria qual deles é o melhor lutador. Jermell é considerado o melhor lutador da 154 agora mesmo.

“Uma coisa que mudou desde minha derrota para Nathaniel Gallimore em 2017 é minha maturidade. Conforme as lutas ficam maiores e mais importantes, Eu definitivamente me preparei para a ocasião e para o desafio. Estou treinando mais forte e há mais foco nessa luta chegando.

“Essa luta significa muito para mim. É definitivamente a luta mais importante da minha carreira e estou muito grato. Agradeço ao meu treinador e pela oportunidade que me foi dada de lutar contra o melhor lutador da categoria. Este é um grande momento e algumas pessoas pensam que não vou ganhar. Eu sei que vai ser elétrico.

“Eu considero que esta é a minha vez. Impérios caem. Queda de presidentes. Reinos caem. É tudo muito interessante porque sob a marca de Charlo, você tem o leão e você tem o caçador e tudo mais. Mas durante a luta, você vai descobrir quem realmente é o caçador. Eu sou um guerreiro e vamos ver naquela noite quem realmente é o caçador e quem será caçado. "

**AARON ALAMEDA:**

“Temos treinado muito duro e sabemos que temos um adversário difícil em Luis Nery, mas estamos prontos para ele.

"Com toda honestidade, talvez os nomes que você vê no papel que enfrentei não sejam da aula de Nery, mas quando você me ver em setembro 26, você vai saber do que sou feito.

“É verdade que Nery teve problemas para ganhar peso antes, mas esse é o problema dele. Se ele ganha peso ou não, Eu não estou incomodado com isso. Estou focado no que preciso fazer em setembro 26, então eu realmente não me concentrei em saber se ele vai ganhar peso. Eu sou aquele que vai estar pronto.

“Este é definitivamente um avanço para mim, não estamos negando isso. Mas estrategicamente, trabalhamos em certas coisas que sabemos que vão ajudar na noite da luta. Vimos muitos vídeos sobre Luis Nery e aprendemos como precisamos abordar essa luta. Vimos algumas coisas que podemos fazer e é isso que faremos em setembro 26.

“Houve alguns oponentes que eu lutei que foram difíceis, mas um em particular foi [Enrique] Gansos em Guadalajara. Ele estava lutando em sua cidade natal e tinha seu povo por trás dele, mas ainda assim vencemos essa luta. A pessoa que me bateu mais forte? O nome dele era [Juan] Jimenez, e ainda superamos o poder que ele mostrou naquela noite para vencer.

“Eu lutei contra alguns canhotos em minha carreira e na verdade me sinto melhor contra canhotos do que contra lutadores ortodoxos.

“Não há dúvida de que Nery é um perfurador poderoso, mas temos que ver como ele vai se sair - se ele vai sair do boxe ou se vai procurar o nocaute imediatamente. Temos uma estratégia para a forma como ele sai. Estaremos prontos para isso. ”

**DANIEL ROMAN:**

“Tudo está indo muito bem nos treinos. Fizemos alguns ajustes devido à pandemia, mas estarei no meu melhor em setembro 26. Somos dois ex-campeões, então esta vai ser uma luta de qualidade. Vamos tentar fazer desta nossa noite.

“O objetivo é voltar ao título mundial, mas eu não estou esquecendo Payano. Ele é um lutador de qualidade. Temos que passar por ele e então, esperançosamente, podemos obter a revanche com Murodjon Akhmadaliev.

“Payano perdeu para grandes nomes e lutadores de qualidade. Tudo pode acontecer em uma luta, então estou me preparando para qualquer coisa. Estou preparado para lutar contra o melhor Payano possível. Eu não vou levá-lo de ânimo leve. É como se eu estivesse defendendo o cinturão contra outro campeão mundial.

“Estou mais focado do que nunca agora. Eu não acho que perdi minha última luta, Eu pensei que tinha pegado. Agora minha mente está fixada em Payano, então estamos apenas continuando a trabalhar arduamente como quando fui o campeão. É um passo de cada vez. Primeiro é Payano, então veremos depois disso.

“Perder meus títulos me motivou ainda mais. Eu sei qual é o meu próximo objetivo. Eu não estou esquecendo Payano, mas estou procurando aquela revanche a seguir. ”

**JUAN CARLOS Payano:**

“Nós definitivamente respeitamos Danny Roman. Ele é um grande lutador, mas esta é a oportunidade de uma vida. Treinamos muito e você vai ver o melhor de Payano para essa luta.

“Cometemos erros nessas duas lutas que perdemos para o Inoue e o Nery onde me derrubaram, mas chegamos preparados sabendo que estamos lutando contra outro bom lutador, o Danny Roman e nos preparamos muito bem para que isso não aconteça novamente. Você aprende com seus erros nessas lutas, então é por isso que quando eu saio, você verá um Juan Carlos Payano diferente em setembro 26.

“Eu sempre lutei muito em todas as minhas lutas, mas especialmente este porque estamos olhando para o fim da minha carreira. Eu sei que preciso de uma ótima exibição para os fãs, então definitivamente há uma urgência extra para mostrar o melhor de mim.

“Um boxeador nunca revela o que vai trazer para o ringue, mas com certeza vou ser mais preciso. Isso é algo que eu não tive em minhas duas derrotas. Eu não posso estar muito desesperado. Descobri que estava desesperado nessas duas lutas, quando poderia ter sido mais preciso e fazer um trabalho melhor nesses aspectos da luta.

“Eu boxeio desde os seis anos de idade e dei minha vida ao boxe. Tem sido uma ótima corrida. Eu respeito Danny Roman enormemente e as pessoas podem esperar dois guerreiros para entrar no ringue em setembro 26 e dar tudo de si. Os fãs sabem que isso é o que eu sempre dou a eles e naquela noite não será diferente. ”

**Derrick James, Instrutor de Charlo:**

“O acampamento de treinamento tem sido bom. Jermell está cada vez melhor. Estou satisfeito com o que estou vendo e ainda é o início do acampamento de treinamento. Vamos continuar a construir o caminho para a luta. Sabemos que temos um cara muito difícil que enfrentamos, mas acredito que todos que enfrentamos são difíceis. Vamos lá para dar o nosso melhor.

“Acho que a vitória seria linda, mas não estou pensando no que isso faria por mim. As melhores coisas é o que significaria para Jermell ter três cintos. Isso é sobre legado. É sobre uma luta de legado para Jermell e eu.

“Rosario é um bom lutador. Ele teve uma progressão gradual desde quando eu o vi lutar contra Justin DeLoach e depois passar para a luta contra Williams. Ele está melhorando. Nós sabemos o que estamos olhando. Nós sabemos como o campeão, ele pode vir como um lutador diferente. Então temos que ser melhores também. É um grande desafio, mas estamos ansiosos por isso.

“Eu vi as lutas de Rosario antes de Williams, então eu sabia que ele seria difícil. Fiquei surpreso como caiu porque Williams é um lutador forte. Mas Rosario realmente se mostrou e ele teve as fotos certas para tirá-lo de lá. Esperamos um grande lutador em 26 de setembro. ”

**LUIS "CHIRO" PEREZ, Treinador de Rosário:**

“O acampamento de treinamento tem sido ótimo. Tudo saiu exatamente do jeito que queríamos e então alguns. Mesmo nestes tempos, pudemos fazer nosso campo de treinamento completo da maneira que queríamos. Não houve obstáculos.

“Jeison está mais forte e inteligente do que nunca. Estamos ansiosos para mostrar que pertencemos a esta competição. Sabemos que é uma tarefa difícil contra o melhor lutador de 154 libras do mundo, mas queremos a posição dele. Ele é o homem nesta categoria de peso e queremos provar ao mundo que pertencemos a esse nível.

“Jeison nunca tinha feito um campo de treinamento real em sua vida até recentemente. Ele treinou de qualquer maneira que pudesse descobrir e ele enfrentaria muitas lutas de última hora. Isso mudou para a luta de Williams e isso mudou para esta luta. Tudo que ele superou, ele acabou com o desejo. Ele está fazendo o acampamento de treinamento adequado agora e comendo da maneira adequada. Eu acho que você tem que nocautear Rosario para vencê-lo. Setembro 26, vamos ver se estou certo. ”

**STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Presidente, Programação de esportes e eventos, Showtime Networks Inc.:**

“De cima para baixo, este é o cartão da mais alta qualidade com o qual já estive associado. Nos últimos anos, tem havido muitas empresas novas e muita atividade no boxe e até com todo o dinheiro, os negócios, as companhias, e tudo o que eles supostamente estão trazendo para a mesa, ninguém tem feito esse tipo de evento. Ninguém mais está fazendo cartas neste nível — tão grande e com tanta qualidade. Este é um evento para o verdadeiro fã de luta. Campeão mundial após campeão mundial, uma coleção de alguns dos melhores lutadores do mundo em um único cartão. seis lutas, cinco delas lutas pelo título mundial, tudo em um pay-per-view.

“Este é um cartão cheio de bangers. A única luta que não é uma luta pelo título mundial, aquele entre Danny Roman e Juan Carlos Payano, é um confronto entre um ex-campeão unificado e um ex-campeão mundial – então não faltam realizações lá. Você tem o ex-campeão invicto Luis Nery, quem está saindo de uma seqüência de 11 nocautes consecutivos, passando para uma nova classe de peso para enfrentar o invicto Aaron Alameda. Nosso segundo evento principal da noite, Jermell Charlo e Jeison Rosario, como o primeiro, é um confronto entre os dois melhores boxeadores que lutam atualmente na divisão. Não precisamos de exageros ou hipérboles. Basta colocar, essa é a melhor luta que pode ser feita na categoria super meio-médio. ”

**LAS VEGAS** (Julho 21, 2019) – Boxing’s only eight-division world champion, **Senator Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao** desistiu **Keith “Uma Vez” 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. Ele era forte. 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,” Disse 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,” Disse 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.”

Em volta 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 para 195, while Pacquiao was busier throwing 686 socos 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 ponto alto AQUI

Pacquiao had a large advantage in jabs landed, conectando em 82 to Thurman’s 18. O 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.

Depois 12 rounds, the judges reached a split decision, com um juiz marcando a luta 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,” Disse Thurman. “Tonight was a blessing and a lesson. Thank you everybody, and thank you Manny Pacquiao.”

“Eu acho que (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 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.”

Watch the highlight of the knockdown AQUI

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. Contudo, the inside fighting led to Ugas being deducted a point by the referee in round five for holding.

“Ugas fought a smart fight,” Disse 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 para 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.”

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

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

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

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

“When I first heard the news about Molina, I knew that I wanted to still fight on a show of this magnitude,” said Lipinets. “As far as fighting a southpaw, I’ve had so many amateur fights in my kickboxing career that I had no problem adjusting. Era apenas uma questão de tempo. 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 segundos na rodada.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“It went exactly how I planned it would go,” a referida planta. “Absolutamente. 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,” a referida planta. “So it was just about making adjustments. Ele é um grande, 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,” disse Lee. “I had some success with my right hands but wasn’t able to be consistent with it.”

Em três rounds, 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 na rodada.

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

Após a luta, 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 sim, we can definitely unify,” a referida planta. “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 **Efe Ajagba** (11-0, 9 KOs) score a unanimous decision over **Ali Eren Demirezen** (11-1, 10 KOs) in a 10-round battle of undefeated heavyweights. It was the first time that two unbeaten fighters from the 2016 Olympics faced off as pros.

Ajagba used his jab and height effectively throughout the fight, aterrissagem 10 de 45 jabs per round, doubling the heavyweight average. Contudo, 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, aterrissagem 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. mais uma vez.”

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

Depois 10 rounds of action all three judges scored the fight in favor of Ajagba, por dezenas de 99-91 duas vezes e 97-93.

**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.** (Julho 8, 2019) – **Keith “Uma Vez” 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, Julho 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, cobrar pelo telefone 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

Coming off a majority decision over Josesito Lopez that ended a 22-month ring absence in January, Thurman (29-0, 22 KOs), 30, had won a close unanimous decision over former title holder “Altura De Começar” Shawn Porter in June 2016 and a split-decision over two-division title winner Danny “Rápido” 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, Julho 27, 2013, AT&T Center, Santo António:** 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 oponentes.

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 redondo. 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,” Disse 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.”

**QUEM 9 Jesus Soto Karass, Dezembro 14, 2013, Alamodome, Santo António:**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,” Disse 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, Abril 26, 2014, StubHub Centro, Carson, Califa:** 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,” Disse 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, Dezembro 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 três vezes) 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,” Disse 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, Março 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, desistiu “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,” Disse 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, Julho 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,” Disse 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, Flórida.”

**UD 12 Shawn Porter, Junho 25, 2016, Barclays Centro, Brooklyn, Nova Iorque:**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, em todos os três juízes’ cartões. 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,” Disse 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, Março 4, 2017, Barclays Centro:** Thurman won a clash of 28-year-olds over the then unbeaten Garcia (33-0, 19 KOs), along with the WBC’s crown in just the 10th title unification in division history and only the third between a pair of unbeaten fighters. The crowd of 16,533 represented the highest attended boxing match at Barclays Center to date. Thurman’s movement disrupted the timing of Garcia, a Philadelphia-based fighter who was a unified champion at 140-pounds.

“This was two undefeated welterweights going toe-to-toe in the prime of their careers. Danny Garcia’s a sharp puncher who won the WBC’s vacant title that Floyd Mayweather gave up for retirement,” Disse 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, Janeiro 26, 2019, Barclays Centro:** 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,” Disse 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), Julho 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 (Julho 2018) and unanimous decision Adrien Broner (Janeiro).

“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?” Disse Thurman, rhetorically speaking. “Claro, 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.”

Danny Garcia’s a sharp puncher who won the WBC’s vacant title that Floyd Mayweather gave up for retirement,” Disse 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, Janeiro 26, 2019, Barclays Centro:** 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,” Disse 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), Julho 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 (Julho 2018) and unanimous decision Adrien Broner (Janeiro).

“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?” Disse Thurman, rhetorically speaking. “Claro, 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.** (Julho 8, 2019) – **Keith “Uma Vez” 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, Julho 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, cobrar pelo telefone 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

Coming off a majority decision over Josesito Lopez that ended a 22-month ring absence in January, Thurman (29-0, 22 KOs), 30, had won a close unanimous decision over former title holder “Altura De Começar” Shawn Porter in June 2016 and a split-decision over two-division title winner Danny “Rápido” 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, Julho 27, 2013, AT&T Center, Santo António:** 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 oponentes.

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 redondo. 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,” Disse 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.”

**QUEM 9 Jesus Soto Karass, Dezembro 14, 2013, Alamodome, Santo António:**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,” Disse 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, Abril 26, 2014, StubHub Centro, Carson, Califa:** 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,” Disse 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, Dezembro 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 três vezes) 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,” Disse 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, Março 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, desistiu “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,” Disse 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, Julho 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,” Disse 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, Flórida.”

**UD 12 Shawn Porter, Junho 25, 2016, Barclays Centro, Brooklyn, Nova Iorque:**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, em todos os três juízes’ cartões. 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,” Disse 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, Março 4, 2017, Barclays Centro:** Thurman won a clash of 28-year-olds over the then unbeaten Garcia (33-0, 19 KOs), along with the WBC’s crown in just the 10th title unification in division history and only the third between a pair of unbeaten fighters. The crowd of 16,533 represented the highest attended boxing match at Barclays Center to date. Thurman’s movement disrupted the timing of Garcia, a Philadelphia-based fighter who was a unified champion at 140-pounds.

“This was two undefeated welterweights going toe-to-toe in the prime of their careers. Danny Garcia’s a sharp puncher who won the WBC’s vacant title that Floyd Mayweather gave up for retirement,” Disse Thurman. “But after beating Shawn Porter, I knew Danny would be an easy fight.

Os ingressos para o evento, which is promoted by MP Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased online through AXS.com, cobrar pelo telefone 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

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

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

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

The 32-year-old Ugás (23-4, 11 KOs) has been one of the busiest welterweight contenders in boxing the last two years, fighting three times in both 2017 e 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. That I can promise. You don’t want to miss this event and you don’t want to miss this war. I’m grateful to FOX Sports and PBC for including me in an event of this magnitude.”

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

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

Molina (30-8, 24 KOs) is coming off a close unanimous decision loss to Omar Figueroa Jr. em fevereiro. A tough veteran brawler, Molina, of West Covina, Califórnia, 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,” Disse 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 oponentes e 14 de sua última 15. He scored a TKO victory over Shinsuke Yamanaka for the world bantamweight title in 2018. The 24-year-old southpaw from Tijuana, Mexico is coming off a dominant stoppage victory over McJoe Arroyo on the March PBC on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View.

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

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

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

Briedis vs Mikaelian & Glowacki vs Vlasov Quarter-Finals in Chicago Nov 10

Setembro 28, 2018 FNU47 Deixe um comentário

Season I star Mairis Briedis vs. Noel Mikaelian and Krzysztof Glowacki vs. Maksim Vlasov are the two Quarter-Finals on an incredible doubleheader when the World Boxing Super Series comes to the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, EUA.

“I am really looking forward to fighting in Chicago,” said Briedis (24-1, 18 KOs). The Latvian hero is undoubtedly one of the favourites to take home Season II’s Ali Trophy in the 200-lb division.

“I am happy to be back in the World Boxing Super Series, and I am looking forward to fighting in front of a U.S. crowd. I am sure there will also be a lot of Latvians in the arena to help create a fantastic atmosphere.”

Briedis’ opponent, Germany’s Noel Mikaelian (23-1, 10 KOs), is eager to perform on the biggest stage – only a split decision defeat, in an IBF eliminator against Krzysztof Wlodarczyk, prevented him of participating in Season I.

“There are only world class fighters in this tournament, but I believe my ring IQ will give me the edge to win it,” said Mikaelian.

The second main event in Chicago on November 10 is a potent match-up between Poland’s former world champion Krzysztof Glowacki and Russia’s Maksim Vlasov.

“The plan is simple: take it all, give nothing back,” said Glowacki (30-1, 19 KOs)

The exciting southpaw fought Season I winner Aleksandr Usyk in 2016 – relinquishing the WBO belt over 12 rounds, he won the belt in 2015 via knockout against Marco Huck.

“I have been waiting for a long time for my chance, and I am full of power and great energy. I am going to win this tournament and become world champion again!"

Vlasov (42-2, 25 KOs), a fighter with success at multiple weights, likewise enters the quarter-final with great confidence after winning 12 straight fights since moving up in weight in 2015.

Gaballo conquista o primeiro campeonato mundial com decisão unânime sobre o jovem em “Rumble at the Rock” no Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood

Março 27, 2018 FNU47 Deixe um comentário

Reymart “GenSan Assassin” Peças of General Santos City, Filipinas, 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” Jovem de 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 KOs) became the WBA Interim World Bantamweight Champion with unanimous scores of 118-109, 117-110 e 117-110.

Jovem, agora 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 rounds.

The speed and reflexes of 19-year-old Honolulu-based welterweight prospect Logan “Korican Kid” Yoon (11-0, 10 KOs) overcame the determination and experience of former two-time world champion Juan Carlos Salgado (27-8-1, 16 KOs) of Mexico City over 10 workmanlike rounds.

Fighting for the NABO Super Lightweight Championship, Yoon showed surprising poise and maturity for a young fighter in his 11th fight and seemed unphased to be facing such an accomplished foe. His sharp counters landed with regularity on the tough former champion. Para o seu crédito, Salgado fought bravely, but at 33 anos, seems to have lost a step.

Os escores foram 100-89, 97-92 e 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, agora 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, República Dominicana, came out for round four with the answers for neutralizing the harder punches of his Philippine opponent and never lost another round.

Os escores foram 96-93, 97-92 e 97-92, unanimously for the new champion Payano.

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

Kirnon, admirably, came out aggressive against the giant, but quickly ran into a shot that propelled him violently into the floor. The fight was immediately waved off at :38. Dychko, a two-time Olympic Super Heavyweight Bronze medallist, could not have been more impressive.

In a 10-round battle for the NABA-USA Featherweight Championship Miami via Ekibastuz, Kazakhstan bomber Mussa “Warrior” Tursyngaliyev (8-0, 7 KOs) clubbed away at brave, but outgunned Luis “Barcelo” Hinojosa (31-14, 18 KOs) de Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, 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 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 e 58-56 for Martinez.

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

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

No final, Rodriquez took a razor-thin unanimous decision (58-55, 57-56 e 57-56) on the strength of a fourth-round knockdown.

Fighting out of the southpaw stance, the heavily muscled Cruz got out to an early lead and rocked the smaller Rodriquez with his thudding left hand. But Rodriquez hung tough and clawed back into it by round three.

The pair went back and forth the entire fight and it could have gone either way.

Former WBO Asia Pacific Light Heavyweight Champion Steve “The Ambassador” Geffrard (17-2, 12 KOs) of Boca Raton stopped Budapest, Hungary’s Zoltan Sera (38-16-1, 20 KOs) in the fourth of a scheduled six.

For the first three rounds, Geffrard, who lost his first two fights and hasn’t lost since, shook off the rust and kept his composure against the awkward offerings of his European foe. He finally broke through in the fourth, scoring two knockdowns and prompting Referee Sam Burgos to wave it off at :39.

Miami’s Jorge De Jesus Romero (5-0, 4 KOs) put on a bodyshot clinic in his abbreviated six-round super bantamweight battle against Hungarian veteran Szilveszter Ajtai (12-10-1, 2 KOs).

Em primeiro, Romero came forward like an aggressive buzzsaw against the circling Ajtai. No segundo, 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 na quarta rodada.

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.
