ANAHEIM, Califòrnia. (Febrer. 27, 2016) – Lleó “El Terratrèmol” Santa Creu va defensar el seu campionat mundial de pes ploma de l'AMB de manera convincent en dissabte nit, tombant Kiko “Sensació” Martínez dues vegades a la primera ronda, després, acabant-ho amb una pluja de cops de puny quan es va convocar la baralla 2:09 a la cinquena ronda a la prova principal d'a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doble capçalera a Honda Center a Anaheim, Califòrnia.
En la baralla co-estel·lar en TEMPS DE LA FUNCIÓ, 29-anys d'edat Hugo Ruiz (36-3, 31 KOs), Els Mochis, Sinaloa, Mèxic, va recuperar el seu títol mundial de pes súper gallo del CMB amb una derrota primerenca devastadora amb només 51 segons en la lluita de 12 rondes contra un jove de 23 anys Juliol Cella (30-2, 27 KOs) d'Atizapan de Saragossa, Mèxic, en una represa molt esperada de la seva lluita d'agost guanyada per Ceja.
Lluitant just 10 milles a l'oest de la seva ciutat natal de La Habra i abans 7,780 aficionats entusiastes, la Santa Cruz, de 27 anys (32-0-1, 18 KOs) va continuar establint-se com el rei del sud de Califòrnia mentre castigava el joc Martínez, de 29 anys. (35-7, 26 KOs) d'Alacant, València, Espanya, amb 570 cops totals en només cinc rondes. Hi havia 1,038 cops totals llançats durant la baralla.
“Als fans els encanta quan dos lluitadors van cara a cara,” Santa Cruz va dir a SHOWTIME's Jim Gray després de la lluita. “Volia fer una gran lluita als aficionats. Sabia que podia fer-li mal amb la mà dreta. És un lluitador i quan l'han assolit, ell tornarà. A la cinquena ronda vaig saber que havia d'acabar amb ell i ho vaig fer.”
Santa Creu va continuar, “Vam anar cara a cara des del principi. Ell estava llançant bons cops de puny jo estava llançant bons cops de puny i a la gent li encantava. Llavors el meu pare em va dir que frenés i fos més intel·ligent, així que vam començar a boxar.”
Santa Cruz no va perdre el temps agafant el avantatge quan va sonar la campana d'obertura. Va noquear a Martínez dues vegades a la primera ronda; el primer just 23 segons en la lluita i el segon en una mà dreta devastadora als dos minuts de la ronda, provocant un locutor de SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. Mauro Ranallo dir-ho a un analista expert En Bernstein: “És possible que puguem arribar a Disneyland abans del final de la nit.”
Martínez va caure en un solc a la tercera i quarta ronda, però va tenir problemes dos minuts després de la cinquena ronda quan Santa Cruz el tenia contra les cordes connectant-se en nombrosos cops al cos., uppercuts i combinacions davant l'àrbitre Raul Caiz Sr. va assenyalar el final de la lluita per la segona defensa consecutiva del títol mundial de Santa Cruz al sud de Califòrnia.
Martínez va dir que Santa Creu, “va començar a moure's molt i va trencar la meva estratègia i va lluitar una gran lluita. A la segona volta vaig anar cada cop més fluix i començava a sentir-me molt millor.
“Era com un toro que avançava molt fort,” Santa Cruz va afegir. “Sens dubte ha estat un dels lluitadors més forts amb els quals he estat al ring fins ara.
“Cap al final vaig dir, 'això és, aquesta és la meva oportunitat de derrocar-lo. Si no l'acabo aquí mateix, farà que sigui una lluita molt dura.’ Així que vaig dir que hi anava amb tot i, per sort, va sortir com ho va fer.”
Santa Creu, fent la seva segona defensa després d'aconseguir el títol mundial Abner Mars torna a l'agost, va dir algun dia que vol batre els rècords de la majoria de cops llançats en una baralla. “Volia llançar tants cops com pogués perquè els aficionats poguessin tenir un bon espectacle.”
Santa Cruz ara està mirant un futur possible enfrontament amb el campió del món de 122 lliures de l'IBF Carl Frampton a 126 lliures o Gary Russell. “Estic a favor de qualsevol,” ell va dir. “Vull la represa amb (Abner) Mares. Des que va guanyar Frampton, si està preparat per pujar de pes, Estic preparat per a ell. El desafio a lluitar sempre que estigui preparat.”
En una represa del títol mundial de pes súper gallo WBC que va perdre l'agost passat, el nou campió de 122 lliures Ruiz va millorar el seu registre 5-0 en les represes (amb cinc knockouts) mentre va lliurar un impressionant nocaut a la primera ronda contra Ceja, que es va lesionar el turmell dret en una potent neteja justa pocs segons de la lluita enviant-lo a la lona.
Ceja es va aixecar a poc a poc però va ser colpejat amb una fúria de cops de puny i va tornar a noquejar amb just 51 segons després de la lluita que va acabar amb l'afer.
“Estava molt preparat per noquejar-lo, però estava preparat per anar-hi 12 rondes aquesta nit també si hagués de fer-ho,” va dir Ruiz, que estava plorós i emocionat després de la victòria. “Vaig estar content de noquejar-lo a la primera ronda. Estic buscant els millors lluitadors i els millors diners que hi ha.”
Va dir l'analista de SHOWTIME Paulie Malignaggi: “Mai he vist un KO de primera ronda que aviat en una lluita d'aquesta importància.” S'ha afegit Bernstein de SHOWTIME: “La mà dreta va ser l'arma escollida per Ruiz, i va fer la feina. Quin moment de redempció per a Ruiz!”
Cella, que va vèncer a Ruiz en un nocaut a la cinquena ronda l'agost passat per guanyar el títol mundial, es va fer mal des de la primera sèrie de cops de puny de Ruiz i mai es va recuperar a la intensa primera ronda.
Ceja va ser traslladat al proper hospital de la UC Irvine i se li va diagnosticar una fractura al turmell dret.
“Vaig veure que es va fer mal amb el primer cop de puny i vaig veure que la cama es trontollava i així vaig dir, ‘Acabem’,” Ruiz va dir. “I ho vaig fer en aquella ronda.”
Més d'hora Dissabte de Manchester, Anglaterra, a SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNACIONAL, Campió del món IBF de 122 lliures Carl Frampton va unificar la divisió de pes súper gallo amb una victòria per decisió dividida sobre el titular de l'AMB De Scott Quigg.
L'esperat enfrontament de campions invictes va començar lent i tàctic, però Frampton nadiu de Belfast (22-0, 14 KOs) es va establir com l'agressor i va treballar el seu jab per embutxacar les primeres rondes. Quigg no va cobrar vida fins després del setè, quan l'entrenador Joe Gallagher va advertir a la seva acusació que probablement estava malament als jutges’ quadres de comandament.
QUIGG (31-1-2) va colpejar el cos i va ser l'agressor en les vuitenes rondes 11, però era poc, massa tard per a Lancashire, nadiu d'Anglaterra. Frampton va guanyar el 12º i va marxar el campió unificat per unes quantes de 115-113 per Quigg, però 116-112 dues vegades per Frampton.

Això és el que els combatents havien de dir Dijous:

 

LEO SANTA CREU

 

“Headlining a televised card has been my childhood dream. I could have never imagined I was going to get this far. And Here I am, on my second main event, defending my title on a premium network. I’m so psyched. I cannot believe it.

 

“The first time I put the gloves on, I knew that I had found my craft, and I also knew that it was not going to be an easy road. I knew that I had to work hard to become a champion. Així, I trained the hardest and I fought the hardest, and with my father by my side I got here, where I’m at today. I owe him everything.

 

“I remember watching all the great Mexican Champions and day dreaming about being like them one day. It felt unreachable. I thought it was impossible to get where they were. But I worked hard, really hard from the beginning.

 

“The most important thing is that the fans leave happy and get their money’s worth. I’m glad that Kiko has come prepared because we’re ready for a great fight.

 

“People are saying that I should walk through Kiko Martinez, but I don’t listen to that. I look at Kiko the same way I look at any other opponent. When we step inside the ring, we are equals.

 

“At the end of the day, the winner will be the fighter who has prepared more and who has imposed his will on the other man.

 

 

KIKO MARTINEZ

 

“I have faced much stronger boxers than Leo and come Dissabte, all of those who did bet on me for this fight, I am going to make you a lot of money.

 

“I am excited and proud to know that Sergio Martinez will be present en dissabte supporting me. His guidance and presence

 

“My trainer could not be here, but we have not taken one day off in training camp and I have been pushed to my limit to prepare me for this fight. I’m thankful to Robert Garcia for being in my corner en dissabte.

 

“I know this is a great opportunity to fight Leo Santa Cruz and I will make the most of it. I’m going to leave everything inside the ring so that the fight fans enjoy a great championship matchup.

 

“I feel that Leo Santa Cruz is a great fighter, he has beat some incredible fighters. He’s a great athlete and boxer. Sometimes people will try to make him out to be more than he actually is but they are mistaken with what they see in me. I am not to be mistaken as the underdog here.

 

 

JULIO CEJA

 

“As Hugo mentioned, we have both trained even harder than last time and we’re more prepared physically and mentally.

 

“I’m going to give everybody a great fight just like last time. I’m walking into the ring knowing my opponent very well. We’ve been to war. I know what to expect from him. I know about his punch and I know how to counter it.

 

“I’m going to be alert and ready. I’ll be a little more intelligent, because I know that he’s coming well prepared and he’s coming for the world title, but he’s not going to get it.

“There are going to be no surprises in this fight. Hugo Ruiz said that he was training harder this time. But I am too. I’ve trained very hard.

 

“The key for me to win this fight is to keep my hands up and to not give him one inch. I cannot be careless. I’ll be strategic and use my wisdom. I cannot come in with my hands down because I know I’ll pay for it. But nothing to worry about, we have rectified those issues in training camp. Estic a punt. He’s not taking my belt away from me.

 

“I’m glad that he says he is better prepared this time because I am better than ever. My team has been instrumental in preparing me for this matchup.

 

“The winner will be the man who is more prepared physically and mentally. But the real winner will be the fans at Honda Center because this is an amazing card and we’re going to put on an amazing fight.”

 

 

HUGO RUIZ

 

“If you liked the first fight between us, then you are going to love this one.

 

“I’m excited to be fighting once again in Southern California. I’ve trained very hard and I have prepared myself for this world title opportunity.

 

“I’m looking forward to putting on a grand show for all my fans en dissabte nit ".

 

 

JOSE SANTA CREU, Santa Cruz’ Father & Entrenador

 

“I hear Kiko has a great trainer on his corner. Robert Garcia is really good, but I have news for Kiko, his trainer is not going to fight for him.

“Once a fighter steps into the ring, he’s alone in there. There are no trainers and no great promoters that can fight for him.”

 

“Kiko speaks about this prestigious trainer and thinks that by mentioning him, he is going to intimidate us. He has something else coming. The trainer won’t fight for Kiko. Roberto Garcia has trained my son and knows Leo very well but that does not give Kiko the upper hand.”

 

TOM BROWN, Head of TGB Promotions

 

“Southern California favorite Leo Santa Cruz returns to bring his action style to the ring. He will be opposed by a tough former world champion in Kiko Martinez who is sure to make this a tremendous fight.

 

“The first fight between Ceja and Ruiz was a true back and forth war. Should this pick up right where it left off, we will have a great fight to start the telecast.

 

“I’m looking forward to a great night en dissabte night in front of the fantastic Southern California boxing fans.”

 

 

TIM RYAN, CEO & President of Honda Center

 

“I’m so thankful to everyone for helping to bring boxing back to Orange County. It’s hard to believe that Julio Cesar Chavez fought here in 1996, because it seems like yesterday.

 

“We have a great arena and a great fan base that loves boxing here in Orange County. la targeta en dissabte is wonderful. I know these guys will be ready and I’m looking forward to an action-packed night on the 27º.

 

Chris DeBlasio, Vicepresident, Sports Communication Showtime Networks

 

“This is a fight fan’s fight card and we are looking forward to some explosive action. I think everyone knows that the lighter weight classes, especially at the championship level, produce exciting fights. My favorite examples include the epic series between Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez, which are available on SHOWTIME platforms and should wet your appetite for what we will see en dissabte nit ".

“I have won a world title in the United States and became a world champ here and I am expecting to become the world champ here once again. That fight was how I became known here, now this fight will be the biggest fight of my career.
“I’ve been studying [Santa Creu] for quite some time now, since I’ve been waiting to fight him previously, now it has come to this point in this time of my life. I have grown and learned so much since then that I truly feel that I have learned from my mistakes and grown to the best of my life yet.”
“per sort [trainer Gabriel Sarmiento] has been training me up until this point. We’re on the same team and we have each other’s backs and he is still fully supportive. I have him in my heart and I know that he will be supporting me all the way.

“This will be a toe-to-toe fight because we both know each other’s strengths and having fought before we know this rematch will be explosive.
“From the second we knew there would be a rematch, we immediately started training. We knew going in to this again that it will be a tough fight and this one will be better than the first. It will be more dangerous and more of a fight than the last because of what the rematch represents.

“It’s a great honor to be fighting here in Los Angeles. My whole life has taken place in this state and everyone who has supported me is coming together en dissabte to see it all in action.
“Heavyweight boxing is always exciting. We’re the hardest hitters in the game. I can’t wait to show everyone the hard work I’ve put in and give a great performance.
“I’m going to be smart and disciplined in the ring. But you also have to have a strong will and have the determination to keep moving forward. You have to step to the guy and apply the pressure.
“My height and reach is always to my advantage but it’s not that. It’s the legs, the mind, the combinations. It’s everything.

Santa Cruz worked out alongside his father and trainer, José Santa Creu, for the media in attendance and spoke about his upcoming bout and more. The workout also featured a surprise performance from Martin Castillo and a five-piece band that included a tuba and an accordion. Santa Cruz jumped rope and went through drills while traditional Mexican folk music called Corrido filled the Southern California gym.
Here is what Santa Cruz and his father had to say Thursday:
LEO SANTA CREU
“I always train to make a statement. I want to go out there and show everyone that I’m really good and I deserve to be considered one of the best.
“I fight for my family. Since I was small, this is what I’ve wanted to do to help my family. I wanted to work hard and give my family a better future.
“Martinez is a strong fighter who comes forward and always puts pressure on you. He never backs down and always comes to fight. That’s what we like about this matchup — it makes for a more intense fight.
“We’re going to give the fans an entertaining show. The fans are the ones who are going to win at the end of the night. I’m going to go out there and try to knock him out by the end of the third round.
“I think he’s going to be the aggressor because he’s shorter and has to fight that way. But I’m going to go forward and be the aggressor too. If that’s not working, I’ll box him. We’re going to do what we need to do to win the fight.
“I see Carl Frampton vs. Scott Quigg as a 50-50 lluita. It’s a tough fight for both of them. I think whoever catches the other guy first will get the victory. They both can hit and they both have great skills. It could go either way.
“It’s a very interesting fight between Frampton and Quigg. They’ve both been possible opponents for me and I hope that I do well that night and face the winner of that fight. No m'importa qui és, I want to fight them.
“I’m willing to fight whoever. I want the winner of Frampton-Quigg. If not then Lee Selby, Gary Russell Jr., Jesus Cuellar or anyone in the division. Hopefully next it will be one of those fighters.
“My fighting style is to always go forward and throw a lot of punches. I just want to entertain the fans. I fight for them and I try to send them home happy. I want to go in there and fight in a war.
“I’m going to fight all of the top guys. I’m still young and I know if I keep working hard and taking care of the guy in front of me, I’ll get all of those fights.
“We’re working on our distance and learning new things every day in camp. I don’t want to change too much, since I’m undefeated. I’m going to be prepared mentally and physically to get the win.
“We’re working hard all the time. We know what we have to do in the ring to win the fight. My last fight our strategy was to brawl but we adjusted it and moved more and we were able to get the victory.
On his recent foray into boxing promotion: “Being a promoter is difficult. It’s very hard. You’re always busy, so right now I’m focused on my boxing career. I’m letting my brothers and my family take care of it now. I’m not there 100 percent yet but I like to give my opinion. It’s something I’d like to do after I retire.”
JOSE SANTA CREU
“Leo is very well prepared as he always is. Sempre ens entrenem 100 percent and we are ready.
“The team is ready to fight. We have one week left to rest and put some finishing touches on this camp.
“We’re going to fight Martinez with our style. We’re going to do whatever we need to do to win the fight. Leo is going to take the fight to him and try to counteract whatever style Martinez brings.
“Serà una bona baralla. Whichever style Martinez brings, we’re going to out-maneuver him and make it a good fight. I see Leo winning a decision at least if not a knockout.”

ANAHEIM, Califòrnia. (Febrer. 16, 2016) – Spain’s Kiko “Sensación” Martinez is a soft-spoken, hard-hitting former IBF Super Bantamweight World Champion and a three-time European champion at 122 lliura. He’s a come-forward, comes-to-win, aggressive-minded slugger who makes for exciting fights and has been in with excellent opposition.

 

The ultimate road warrior, the 5-foot-5, 29-year-old Martinez has fought more than one-third of his fights outside his native Spain, where he has tussled 26 vegades. He’s also fought four times in Ireland, three times in England, three times in Northern Ireland and one time each in Japan, Argentina, France and South Africa.

 

So don’t expect Martinez (35-6, 26 KOs) to be in awe of the surroundings in his second start in the United States when he challenges unbeaten, defending featherweight world champion Leo Santa Creu (31-0-1, 17 KOs) a Dissabte, Febrer. 27, en l'esdeveniment principal d'una SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING triple en viu en TEMPS DE LA FUNCIÓ (10 p.m. I/7 p.m. PT) del Honda Center d'Anaheim, Califòrnia.

 

Martinez won his U.S. debut and the IBF 122-pound crown with a sixth-round TKO overJhonatan Romero a l'agost. 17, 2013. “That was a great night for me,’’ Martinez said. “I’m confident of another great performance on Feb. 27.''

 

A winner of three in a row in his homeland, including a fourth-round TKO over Miguel Gonzalez últim Desembre. 12, Martinez aims to make amends after losing three high-profile fights in recent years to super bantamweight world champions – twice to Carl Frampton(FIB) and once to De Scott Quigg (AMB).

 

Martinez gets an opportunity against Santa Cruz in a fight he never saw coming.

 

“I’m thrilled to be fighting Leo Santa Cruz, but getting this fight was a total surprise because I already had a fight scheduled,’’ said Martinez, who trains at his friend and manager, antic campió mundial de pes súper mitjà Sergio Martinez’ gym in Spain. “I had been scheduled to fight for the European title. When this opportunity came up, I decided to give up the European title to come to America.

 

“I was very happy and very emotional when I heard about this fight. It was one of the best days of my life when I agreed to fight Santa Cruz. Ara, more boxing fans will get to see me. I will not take one step back. I will come forward the whole fight.

 

“I’m thankful to SHOWTIME and I’m excited for the challenge. It’s a huge fight in the United States and a great opportunity. Some people don’t think I can fight because I lost to those guys [Frampton and Quigg], but they are wrong. I am as determined as ever. I’m going to fight a great fight and come out with a victory.’’

 

While respectful of the champion, Martinez is no stranger to fighting on foreign soil and is poised to pull off a stunner.

 

“I will surprise many people who don’t believe in me,'', Va dir. “I’m working so hard for this fight. People doubting me has me even more motivated. They will see on Feb. 27 and everyone will change their minds.

 

“I love fighting in my opponent’s backyard. That is not a problem for me at all. People who know boxing know I will give everything to this sport. I want to give great shows and entertain people. I’m coming forward and throwing punches and I don’t give up.

 

“I’m going to give 100 percent and it’s going to be a tremendous fight. I have a ton of respect for Leo Santa Cruz. He’s a world champion and a great fighter who’s clearly one of the very best featherweights in the world and a Top 10 lliura-per-lliura. I am very conscious of that point.

 

“Leo and I are true warriors so this will be a brutal war. But I have what it takes. I’ve been working very hard with my longtime trainer, Gaby Sarmiento, and I will be victorious.’’

 

A lifelong resident of Spain, Martinez was born in Granada, Espanya, and resides in Alicante. He has two sisters and two brothers but is the only one in the family who boxes professionally. He turned to boxing as a young teenager.

 

“I started in boxing because when I was about 13 I was smaller and other kids bullied me all the time. So I began looking for a way to learn to defend myself,'', Va dir. “Once I decided to start boxing and dedicated myself to it I fell in love with the sport.’’

 

Com amateur, Martinez went 47-2 and won a Spanish national amateur championship, but he had no international amateur experience. “I had a good amateur career but never thought about the Olympics,'', Va dir. “My mind was always on being a pro fighter.’’

 

A dangerous puncher who’s at his best when he pressures his opponents and wears them down, Martinez turned pro in June 2004. He was victorious in his initial 17 baralles, winning all but three by knockout.

 

Martinez met Sergio Martinez [no relation] about nine years ago. “I met Sergio in the gym in Spain that he used to train himself in and we became good friends. When I started boxing I looked up to Juli Cèsar Chavez and I am now a big fan of Marcos Maidana. I like to fight like him.

 

“But I’ve always had a special relationship with Sergio, who inspired me because he came from poverty like me. He has taught me so much. It’s like looking into a mirror because he knows where I came from. He’s taught me so much inside and outside the ring. We were very poor growing up and my father worked very hard.’’

 

Si triomfal, Kiko Martinez says “I would like to stay at this weight because I feel much stronger. But I would definitely love a rematch with Frampton or Quigg.’’

 

Regarding the Frampton-Quigg 122-pound world title unification that also takes place onFebrer. 27 (a Manchester, Anglaterra, viure SHOWTIME EXTREME®), Martinez didn’t hesitate when picking a winner.

 

“Frampton will win against Quigg,’’ Martinez said. “He’s the more complete boxer. He is stronger as well.”

 

Al Febrer. 27 co-feature on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, hard-hitting Mexican warriors Juliol Cella (30-1, 27 KOs) i Hugo Ruiz (35-3, 31 KOs) will box in a rematch of an exciting, two-way slugfest for the WBC 122-pound world title that Ceja won from Ruiz on a fifth-round knockout last August

 

Rounding out the televised tripleheader is a 10-round fight between undefeated heavyweights Gerald Washington (16-0-1, 11 KOs) of Vallejo, Qualif., and Montreal-based Colombian Oscar Rivas (18-0, 13 KOs).

ANAHEIM, Califòrnia. (Febrer 9, 2016) – Hard-hitting Mexican warriors Juliol Cella (30-1, 27 KOs) i Hugo Ruiz(35-3, 31 KOs) engaged in a memorable back-and-forth battle for the WBC 122-pound world title last August and they are eager to meet in the ring again to deliver another explosive fight. The eagerly awaited return bout is part of a tripleheader on TEMPS DE LA FUNCIÓ CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® en viu per SHOWTIME® (10 p.m. I/7 p.m. PT) del Honda Center d'Anaheim, Califòrnia.
Headlining the event is undefeated featherweight world champion Leo Santa Creu in his first title defense against former champ Kiko Martínez. Rounding out the televised tripleheader is a 10-round fight betweenundefeatedheavyweights Gerald Washington i Oscar Rivas.
Ceja recovered from a third-round knockdown to claim world title glory with a fifth-round stoppage of Ruiz, and he has promised once again to leave the fans thrilled.
“One thing I can tell you, is that this fight will be as exciting as the first one,” va dir la Ceja. “No voldreu perdre -ho. War is coming.”
When Ceja and Ruiz clashed in Los Angeles last August, it was the U.S. debut for both and was also on a card headlined by Santa Cruz.
“I knew it was a big step up in my career to get a fight in the U.S.,” va dir Ruiz, “It was very emotional to be fighting in front of so many Mexican fans on such an important card.”
In an excellent two-way matchup contested in the middle of the ring, Ceja and Ruiz combined to throw 373 power punches in just five rounds, with Ceja benefiting from a 96-67 advantage in power punches landed. It was the sharp-shooting Ruiz who struck the first big blow of the match however, as he caught a lunging Ceja with a perfect left hook that put him down with just under a minute left in the third round.
“He definitely hurt me with that punch,” va dir la Ceja. “I went straight into his hand and to the floor. But thanks to my great conditioning, I recovered fast. I train in the altitude in Mexico and that gives me the strength to fight 15 rondes. I’m working just as hard this camp.”
“I feel like I have the advantage in speed and power,” va dir Ruiz. “I was looking for the knockout from the beginning and I will do that again on Febrer 27.”
Showing little effect from the knockdown, Ceja made it through the third and had a solid fourth round against the lanky Ruiz. He began to work effectively inside the long reach of Ruiz and buzz him with left hooks and uppercuts. It was a perfectly timed left hook with 58 seconds remaining in the fifth round that put Ruiz down. Ruiz made it to his feet, but Ceja continued to batter him with both hands until the referee, Raul Caiz Sr., stepped in and stopped the fight at 2:34 a la ronda.
“Ceja came into the fight very aggressively and he put just the right amount of pressure on me,” va dir Ruiz. “This defeat is behind me now, but I did gain experience from the defeat that I will take into this fight.”
Both men know that there is plenty of work to be done in training camp.
“There is no way to get into a comfort zone against Ruiz,” va dir la Ceja. “Just because I beat him, it doesn’t make this fight easier. Ell és intel·ligent, experienced and he won’t make the same mistakes again. He’s a guy who works distances perfectly and knows when to attack. We made mistakes in the first fight that we’re going to fix.”
“I’m working on my defense and on putting more pressure on him throughout this fight,” va dir Ruiz. “I have to be aware of his left hand. The hook hurt me last time so I have been working on getting my right hand up to block it. I have to use my skills to be victorious.”
With a world title on the line once again, expect similar fireworks when these two proud Mexican sluggers share the ring in Anaheim.
“I want all my Mexican fans to come out and watch this fight, you will not regret it,” va dir la Ceja. “I want to keep my belt for a long time and I want the fans to remember my name.”
“This is going to be another very explosive fight,” va dir Ruiz. “Expect a lot of punches, but this time I will be walking out a world champion.”
