DEADWOOD, S.D. (Marzo 9, 2018) – Undefeated 140-pound contender Regis Prograis scored a sensational second-round knockout over former unified world champion Xulio Indongo to capture the Interim WBC Super Lightweight title Venres night on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION from Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood, S.D.

 

 

 

 

Coa vitoria, PROGRAMAS (21-0, 18 Kos) will now likely face the winner of next week’s Amir Imam (Non clasificados. 1 WBC) and Jose Ramirez (Non clasificados. 3 WBC) matchup for the currently vacant WBC world title belt. PROGRAMAS, de Houston a través de New Orleans, was dominant from the opening bell and has now scored knockouts in 14 da súa última 15 loitas.

 

 

 

 

“I had to put on a show for SHOWTIME, for Deadwood, and for all my fans in Houston and New Orleans and just the whole division,"Dixo Prograis. “I had to put on a show for everybody. I am now the man at 140.”

 

 

 

 

In the final seconds of the opening round, Prograis landed a fierce jab that knocked Indongo (22-2, 11 Kos) to the canvas. Na segunda rolda, Prograis continued to attack the much taller Indongo, and floored him for the second time with a huge left hand. With a wobbly Indongo returning to his feet, Prograis continued the onslaught and immediately attacked his prone opponent and knocked him down for a third time in the fight. Referee Ian John-Lewis gave Indongo one more opportunity to remain in the fight, but Prograis ended it once and for all with a third knockdown in the round via a left hook and fourth in the fight at 2:54 of round number two.

 

 

 

 

Following the knockout, SHOWTIME analyst Steve Farhood spoke to the rising star in the wide-open and competitive 140-pound division. Farhood was especially impressed with Prograis, who was making his fifth SHOWTIME appearance.

 

 

 

 

“It was an awesome performance,” said the International Boxing Hall of Famer and noted boxing historian Farhood. “I was surprised he finished Indongo as quickly as he did and as emphatically as he did.

 

 

 

 

 

“I think now boxing fans know that this guy deserves to be rated among the top three or four in the 140-pound division. Because it was a such an emphatic win, all the other fights at 140, whether it’s mañá fight between Mikey Garcia and Lipinets, you got to feel like they have to answer to Regis. He deserves it.”

 

 

 

 

The WBC No. 2 ranked fighter at 140 pounds immediately turned his attention to a possible matchup with the winner of next week’s Imam-Ramirez matchup.

 

 

 

 

“I want the real title now, and I don’t think those two dudes will fight me after tonight,"Dixo Prograis. “Indongo only had one loss to Terrence Crawford, the pound for pound best, and I stopped him a round before Crawford did. I don’t see anybody trying to fight me right now.”

 

 

 

 

 

In an IBF Junior Welterweight eliminator, Ivan Baranchyk (17-0, 11 Kos) thrilled fans at The Deadwood Mountain Grand with his all-action style, parada Petr Petrov (38-6-2, 18 Kos) en 1:12 of round number eight.

 

 

 

 

Baranchyk, making his sixth appearance on SHOWTIME, was the much stronger, more aggressive fighter than his game but ultimately overmatched opponent, who showed commendable toughness and resiliency to stay in the fight. Baranchyk knocked Petrov to the canvas with the very first punch of the fight, and scored a second knockdown in the second round with a barrage of powerful punches.

 

 

 

 

With a bruised and battered Petrov trapped against the ropes in the eighth round, referee Mark Nelson stopped the fight. Coa vitoria, Baranchyk moves a step closer to becoming the mandatory challenger for the winner of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event on Saturday night between 140-pound IBF world titlist Sergey Lipinets and lightweight titleholder Mikey Garcia.

 

 

 

 

Baranchyk, who out-landed Petrov 159-118 in total punches and 94-76 in power punches, was pleased with the improvements he showcased tonight.

 

 

 

 

“I thought I fought a more controlled than in the past and something my new coach has been helping me with,dixo Baranchyk, who is currently ranked No. 4 in the IBF 140-pound division. “I knew I had to keep punching to the body, punching to the body. And I did that well tonight.

 

 

 

 

“I was surprised they stopped the fight when they did. I felt like I won every round and controlled the fight. I knew I won the fight. It was a good fight for me.”

 

 

 

 

Na loita de a cerimonia de apertura, perspectiva pesado Junior Fa (14-0, 8 Kos), of Auckland, Nova Celandia, kept his unbeaten record intact with a majority decision victory over Detroit’s Craig Lewis (14-2-1, 8 Kos). The judges scored the eight-round fight 76-76, 78-74, 79-73.

 

 

 

 

Fa, who twice beat fellow New Zealand native and current WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker in the amateurs, was the more active fighter against the 33-year-old former collegiate basketball player Lewis, who took the fight on just two weeks’ notice. Fa started the fight quickly, throwing a fight-high 53 punches in round one and a 24-13 lead in overall connects in the first two rounds. As the fight wore on, Fa’s pace slowed and Lewis was able to grow into the fight, out-landing Fa 50-45 in rounds five through eight, to close the overall gap to 82-81 in favor of Fa.

 

 

 

 

Fa, who made his SHOWTIME debut in November with a first-round knockout of Freddy Latham, was unhappy with his performance despite the win.

 

 

 

 

“I’m happy I was able to get the decision, but I wasn’t happy with my performance at all,” said Fa. “If I had to give myself a grade, it would be an F. I fought with too much emotion the first few rounds and that threw me off a little bit.

 

 

 

 

“I was pretty surprised with the one judge who saw it even. I saw him getting tired but I was just flat tonight. I can learn a lot from this fight and where I went wrong and what not to do in my next fight.”

 

 

 

 

Lewis felt that taking the fight on short notice played a role in the outcome.

 

 

 

 

I needed a little more time to train as my conditioning fell off a bit towards the end,” said the former National Golden Gloves gold medalist Lewis. “But overall, I was happy with my performance, I thought it was probably a draw.”

 

 

 

 

Na acción undercard non televisada, undefeated heavyweight prospect Trey Lippe Morrison (14-0, 14 Kos), the son of former heavyweight world champion Tommy Morrison, parado Oswaldo Ortega (3-8, 1 KO) with a third-round (1:18) technical knockout in his first fight en 15 meses since suffering a hand injury.

 

 

 

 

Invicto 2016 United States Olympian Charles Conwell (7-0, 5 Kos) earned a unanimous decision victory over Mexico’s Juan Jesus Rivera (28-20, 18 Kos). The six-round junior middleweight bout was scored 60-53 on all three judges’ scorecards.

Both of his titles were won on the road in Russia and Scotland, so I know how fearless and determined he will be.

 

 

“I had to switch up my training a little for sparring with Indongo being a lefty and a little taller, but I’m sparring with middleweights. I’ve heard how hard he hits and I want to be fully prepared.

O presidente de primeiro rango, Todd duBoef / IBF & WBA JR. O campión do peso welter Julius Indongo co seu co-promotor e director Nestor Tobias e Frank Smith de Matchroom Boxing.)

TODD ​​duBOEF: Vai ser unha noite emocionante o sábado. Este será o noso terceiro evento en directo en ESPN e que forma de comezar con Pacquiao, Lomachenko e agora a unificación do título de Terence Crawford e Julius Indongo. Imos estar en Lincoln, Nebraska esta vez como Lady Gaga está en Omaha. Estamos ansiosos por Lincoln, xa que alí están os Cornhuskers. Isto é unha cousa incrible para poder facer. Moito tempo a xente fala de ver boas pelexas – os rapaces loitan contra os rapaces que están logrados – despois hai outros rapaces que queren os retos. Julius Indongo e o seu promotor, Matchroom Boxeo, apareceron nun ascenso meteórico no pasado 18 meses e Julius funcionou moi ben. Terence Crawford entrou na escena do boxeo – indo a Glasgow, Escocia e gañando o título de peso lixeiro e volvendo a Omaha na súa primeira defensa contra Gamboa e gañando de forma sensacional. Esta será a novena loita consecutiva de Terence polo título mundial en dúas divisións de peso. É único en que é unha unificación moi esperada. Só é a segunda vez na era dos catro cintos que dous campións mundiais pelexan entre si para unificar os títulos e o gañador emerxe como campión do mundo indiscutible da división..

FRANK SMITH: É xenial estar aquí en Omaha con Top Rank e estamos ansiosos por esta loita – é xenial cando os loitadores queren afrontar desafíos. Julius viaxou por todo o mundo – ir a Rusia onde gañou por nocaut na primeira rolda e despois enfrontouse a Ricky Burns en Escocia ante unha gran multitude.. Julius estivo pasando os últimos días en Omaha – Sei que está moi tranquilo e moi relaxado e con moitas ganas de chegar ao reto. É xenial estar involucrado nunha loita coma esta con todos os cintos en liña, que non ocorre con moita frecuencia. Sei que Julius está moi seguro de volver a casa con todos os cintos na man. Terence Crawford é un gran loitador e demostrouno en moitas ocasións e Julius está moi tranquilo e relaxado e está desexando mostrar o que fai e non lle preocupa a viaxe.. Irá a calquera parte para afrontar un desafío.

NESTOR TOBIAS: Estamos moi emocionados. Julius adestrouse moi duro para esta loita. Está moi concentrado e moi cómodo en Omaha. Pasamos un tempo antes de vir a Omaha adestrando no Wild Card Boxing Club de Freddie Roach
.
JULIUS INDONGO: Moitas grazas por esta oportunidade. Sei que Crawford é un loitador moi bo e duro e este é un gran evento. O Sábado noite, Vou dar todo o que teño e o meu foco e o meu plan de xogo e todo está en posición. Só esperando o pesaxe. Intento non dicir demasiado antes da pelexa, que é algo ao que estou afeito. Prefiro facelo no ring cando o meu opoñente está diante de min para poder facer o meu traballo. Levo moito tempo no boxeo e non me coñece moita xente. Creo que este é o momento de demostrarlle ao mundo que un boxeador africano de Namibia pode vencer a un mozo que loita na súa casa fronte á súa xente.. Esta é a mellor forma de facelo. Confío nos meus estilos e técnicas que aprendín hai anos. O Sábado noite, vai ser boxeo – Non estou seguro de se vai haber un nocaut, pero sei que podo facelo se é preciso. Podo dicir agora que adestrei moito e que o meu adestrador sempre está aí.
TODD ​​duBOEF: Tamén quero agradecer ás organizacións por acomodar este partido porque había todo o mundo intentando que tivese loitadores que tiñan obrigatorios traballando entre bastidores para axudar a armar esta unificación.. Agradecemos a todos que traballen xuntos para axudar a levar este partido cos participantes cos catro títulos das organizacións.. Agradecemos moito que axuden a Matchroom e Top Rank.
JULIUS INDONGO: Si. Tamén me gustaría agradecer ás organizacións e a Top Rank e Matchroom por impulsar esta loita e axudar ás negociacións para que esta loita suceda. – por facelo todo posible.
Agora tes dous títulos, pero cal é a túa visión da posibilidade de ter os catro títulos?

JULIUS INDONGO: A miña opinión sobre isto é que non me centrei moito niso desde que estiven ocupado no ximnasio. Non me centrei en nada máis que en asegurarme do meu rendemento o sábado noite. O meu foco estivo no ximnasio para asegurarme de que o meu xogo sexa o mellor de sempre. Ninguén se esquecerá nunca desta loita. As organizacións estiveron implicadas en facer que esta loita ocorrese e agradézoo, pero non pensarei moito en ter catro títulos ata que remate a loita..

Como se sentirá saír do ring con catro cintos?

JULIUS INDONGO: Vai significar moito para min – significará que todo o traballo duro e a determinación obtiveron ese logro e creará máis oportunidades para min. Viaxarei polo mundo cos catro títulos. Vou levalos de volta a África – ao meu país. Vou ser moi, moi feliz
.
Que difícil foi conseguir que as organizacións acompañen isto?
TODD ​​duBOEF: Foi moi difícil. Tivemos que traballar man a man con Matchroom porque obviamente Matchroom e Indongo tiñan dous cintos e Top Rank e Crawford tiñan dous e había obrigatorios e todo o que estaba entrando en xogo.. Había xente á que tiñamos que apelar e dixemos, “Ei, esta é unha rara oportunidade de que sexamos capaces de facelo. Intentemos traballar xuntos e ter unha solución positiva para o deporte do boxeo e creo que o conseguimos con delicadeza.
Canto tempo pensas que o gañador poderá manter eses títulos?

TODD ​​duBOEF: Creo que deberíamos facerlle esa pregunta ao gañador, non antes de ter un gañador. (A), non sabemos quen vai gañar – Indongo pensa que vai gañar e Crawford pensa que vai gañar. Entón nese momento teremos que ver cal é a orde, quen ten a obrigatoria, que orde de loitas e se todas as organizacións poden reunirse e se poden xenial e se non poden, será o loitador tomar as decisións. E ata os promotores. Creo que é prematuro discutir iso agora mesmo.

Como cambiou a túa vida dende que gañaches os dous títulos?
JULIUS INDONGO: O que realmente cambiou é – Aínda vivo na miña cidade de Namibia – e intento manterme concentrado e intento facer o correcto no público. Cando alguén se fai coñecido por todo o país, o máis importante, intento non rodar cos amigos equivocados. Intento quedarme na casa e ir á igrexa despois do traballo e fago o meu programa de adestramento dúas veces ao día. É o único xeito que podería dicir que se pode facer.
Vives no mesmo lugar?
JULIUS INDONGO: Si, alí é onde estou a quedar e onde adestro. Toda a xente é moi amable. Non temos demasiada división dentro da xente de todos no país, sobre todo na cidade. Non hai nada que me poida distraer onde quede ou faga o que faga – todo o mundo saberá en Namibia.
Canto mellor é Crawford que Ricky Burns ou Troyanovsky?
JULIUS INDONGO: Non podo dicir moito sobre iso porque cando loitei contra Troyanovsky e Ricky Burns, ambos foron pelexas máis fáciles que eu na última loita., que eu loitei dende a casa. As dúas loitas polo título mundial ás que desafiei foron o mellor adestramento que adestrei. Nunca estivera tan concentrado co mellor plan de xogo, polo que o fixo as pelexas máis fáciles para min. Os dous foron máis fáciles do que nunca pensamos que serían debido ao foco neles e ao plan de xogo.

Por que puideches centrarte máis para esas dúas loitas?

JULIUS INDONGO: As outras pelexas estaban ocorrendo na casa e adoitabamos ser demasiado como deixar moita xente no campamento – adoitabamos compartir invitacións – para as dúas últimas pelexas de todos os xeitos. A loita era polo campionato así que había algo que necesitabamos conseguir, cambiar e mellorar a nosa imaxe (se queremos) para ser coñecido no mundo. Tivemos que centrarnos só en min e no potencial e esa é a única forma en que o mundo ía chegar a verme. A promoción sabía o que me pasaba e facía saber a todos os demais. Entón, agora todos ían ver algo novo de novo, Sei. Non teño dúbida. Sei. O único que podo dicir é que só se chega o nocaut pode ser tarde. Pero espertar, o día da loita, ser hábil e concentrado – todo está en posición. O público ou os afeccionados, ou o público local de Terence non me intimidará – iso non é nada, Non podo permitilo, así que viaxo do mesmo xeito – sempre é o mesmo.

Dende que gañou nas cidades natales dos últimos dous títulos pelexas canta confianza che dá iso?

JULIUS INDONGO: Na Realidade, son condicións diferentes. Non me importa especialmente porque xa pasou. O meu foco é que é unha bendición de Deus manterme e non deixarme vagar en certo sentido, e pedir unha provisión para min, o meu presidente e o meu comandante na oficina que onde queira que viaxe estarei representando a toda Namibia. É como se tivese todo o país de Namibia sobre os meus ombreiros emitido polo meu presidente, así que teño que confiar no plan de xogo e esa é a confianza na que confío.. Así, se estou a pisar alí sei que o meu país e África están sobre os meus ombreiros e cando o equipo viaxa de Namibia á loita só podo centrarme na loita polo que motivoume moito. Así, Teño que centrarme só nesta loita.

Onde adestraches para esta loita?
JULIUS INDONGO: Cando vin Crawford pediu loitar contra o gañador da loita entre min Troyanovsky, que foi cando comecei a adestrar para esta loita porque non temos ningún poder e a única forma de confiar nos grandes armas cando se lles solicita.. Así, cando nos deron a oferta tivemos que ir por ela así que foi cando comecei a adestrar. Adestraba na casa en Namibia – onde sempre estiven adestrando. (Chegou aos Estados Unidos cedo e adestrouse no ximnasio de Freddie Roach en Hollywood).

Que notaches na audiencia dos combates en ESPN?

TODD ​​duBOEF: Unha cousa que estou desexando o sábado é Kurt Warner que acaba de rematar o seu [Intro do Salón da Fama] discurso para que non teñamos que tratar con iso o sábado. Todo isto forma parte dun plan de xogo a longo prazo para facer que estes loitadores cobren vida para os fanáticos dos deportes. Obviamente houbo unha cantidade incrible de ascenso antes da loita de Pacquiao e reflectida cunha incrible cantidade de ascenso para a loita de Lomachenko o 5 de agosto e ESPN cambiará o interruptor esta fin de semana., levar o pesaxe en directo e facer a mesma promoción constante e isto é marabilloso para as persoas que están interesadas no boxeo. Todo foi fantástico e poñer a dous dos mellores diante da xente que está vendo a NFL, NBA e Major League Baseball son capaces de ver o máis alto nivel de loitas é só un paso positivo para o deporte.

Houbo un cambio demográfico de quen está vendo as pelexas?

TODD ​​duBOEF: Non creo que houbese un cambio demográfico. Creo que a percepción da demografía do boxeo nos Estados Unidos foi desafortunadamente limitada. – un grupo demográfico máis vello. Estamos mirando estes números e obviamente 18-49 é o número que todos queren e mesmo con Kurt Warner e o resto do Salón da Fama en marcha enfrontámonos directamente ao UFC esa noite e gañamos en ambos. 18-49 e 18-34 que son as demostracións máis importantes. E creo que ademais, para ESPN esa semana, fomos os segundos mellor valorados 18-49 programa coa emisión de Lomachenko e de feito rematado 50% do noso público foi 18-49 onde estaba o béisbol 32%. Pensamos que a historia de que é un deporte vello e aos vellos non lles importa, que foi elaborado en gran parte polo UFC hai anos e creo que ata certo punto había algo de verdade – As demostracións máis antigas estaban nas canles premium – o feito é que isto é moi positivo, mozo, multicultural polo teito e estamos encantados de poñer isto nesta ampla plataforma.

É doado concentrarse e facer o que precisa facer na súa terra natal?

JULIUS INDONGO: Non creo que teña ningún problema coa afección nin coa poboación porque xa é algo do que sei. Todo o que teño é adestrar e concentrarme en Crawford e no meu plan de xogo e facer ben na miña preparación.
Indongo chegou ata agora – hai un ano ninguén sabía quen era e agora está nesta enorme plataforma…

TODD ​​duBOEF: Isto non é un valor atípico – este é o boxeo. Isto é o que pasa co boxeo. Isto non é diferente do que aparece Azumah Nelson 10 días, aviso e de súpeto subirse ao ring e facerse un nome nos Estados Unidos. A xente pode cambiar a marea moi rapidamente no deporte do boxeo e iso ocorre polas súas actuacións e temos que recoñecer que o seu é un deporte global.. Esta non é a Premier League nin a NFL nin a NBA e estamos relativamente illados nun pequeno grupo. Indongo é un loitador moi talentoso que probablemente traballou toda a súa infancia para descubrir como dominar un oficio. E iso é Julius Indongo e o que fixo foi, ábrese a porta da oportunidade e el atravesa, e esa é a historia do boxeo. Hai infinidade de historias como esa e creo que esta non é milagrosa, pero realmente remóntase ao que fai que o boxeo sexa tan especial.. Persoas que aproveitan esas oportunidades e de súpeto descobre un diamante en bruto.

Que tes que dicir desta actividade – esta é a túa cuarta loita en pouco máis dun ano?

JULIUS INDONGO: Realmente significa moito non só para min senón tamén para o meu ascenso onde adestro. Cando comecei non tiñan pensado producir tal evento nin ningunha oportunidade como esta ou nin sequera aquelas partidas que tiven na casa.. É algo grande e algo enorme e algo útil e é unha apreciación polo que Top Rank e Matchroom reuniron e agradezo estas oportunidades.

TODD ​​duBOEF: Démoslle a Terence todos os eloxios sobre o gran loitador que é, que todos coñecemos, pero non sabía que agora era unha sensación en internet. Hai que falar da sensación de Internet! Pensei que esta era a sensación de internet de Brian McIntyre na última loita de “Vida de Campamento,” pero na rolda de prensa mañá tes que mostrarme o teu reto de McGregor.

TERENCE CRAWFORD: Significa moito para min o feito de que será a primeira vez que os catro cintos estarán en xogo ao mesmo tempo na historia da división e só se fixo dúas veces no boxeo.. Estou preparado para o momento e para loitar contra o tempo desta fin de semana.

Antes do KO da 1a rolda de Indongo en Rusia, algunha vez o teu equipo escoitou falar del?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: Non, nunca escoitamos falar de Indongo e nunca o vimos loitar máis que a que tivo en Rusia.
TERENCE CRAWFORD: Ben, queriamos a loita de Troyanovsky pero decidiu ir con Indongo así que cando soubemos que foi noqueado, miramos a repetición e miramos a loita – foi entón cando nos demos conta por primeira vez de quen era realmente Indongo.
Cando loitou contra Ricky Burns a quen estás familiarizado tendo vencido polo título de peso lixeiro, pensaches que poderías facelo posible ou foi algo que che trouxo Top Rank?

TERENCE CRAWFORD: Queriamos a loita de Ricky Burns 140 tamén, pero non querían pelexar, así que querían pelexar con Indongo e quizais máis tarde no ano puidésemos facer a loita entre min e Ricky Burns de novo, pero Indongo gañou a Ricky Burns., foi cando nos demos conta e dixemos ben que el é o tipo dos outros dous títulos así que a ver se podemos pelexar con el e unificar.

Que sentes de que viaxa a calquera lugar á cidade natal de ninguén para loitar polos títulos?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: Mostra moito sobre o seu carácter e a súa confianza e a súa habilidade no ring. Ser dúas veces campión do mundo nese pouco tempo demostra que ten moita confianza, pero ao mesmo tempo é un pouco maior, polo que está ao final da súa carreira e non ten moitas opcións para o que quere facer.. Non pode esperar.

Que opinas de Indongo como loitador??

TERENCE CRAWFORD: Indongo é un bo loitador. É un bo boxeador – ten boas pernas e parece que pode golpear. Non deixa que o seu rival se meta por dentro e lle faga moito dano.
TODD ​​duBOEF: Buscas algunha semellanza entre el e Postol??
TERENCE CRAWFORD: A única comparación que vexo é a altura. Teñen dous estilos diferentes. Postol era máis recto arriba e abaixo. Indongo é un pouco máis esquivo. Creo que Postol era un pouco máis técnico. Indongo pode volverse un pouco salvaxe ás veces.
Cres que Postol é mellor que Indongo?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: Non podo dicir iso porque non estiven no ring con Indongo pero estiven no ring con Postol. Pódese ver dende fóra, pero unha vez que entras no ring con alguén pode ser totalmente diferente, así que despois da pelexa podo dicirche.

Que opinas de loitar en ESPN para ampliar a túa base de fans?

TERENCE CRAWFORD: Pode ampliar a base de fans e dará a máis xente a oportunidade de ver quen é realmente Terence Crawford. Para mostrar o meu talento e as miñas habilidades a máis xente – Só estou preparado para Sábado vir para poder mostrar a máis xente quen é realmente Terence Crawford.

BRIAN McINTYRE: Estou preparado para que saiamos alí para que Terence poida mostrar no que estivo traballando no campamento. Quero que unifique e faga historia e a división de 140 libras. Tamén podemos silenciar a todos os críticos que veñen dicindo que o seu currículo non é tan bo como algúns loitadores. Non só eu, senón tamén todo o equipo está ilusionado. Sei que está emocionado, para saír alí e mostrarlle a ESPN o que todo o mundo estivo escoitando – que é un gran boxeador e un maldito bo golpeador e como pode cambiar de ambos os bandos. Así, Estou animado. Estou emocionado polo neno e estou emocionado pola súa familia. Estou emocionado por todos.

O gañador terá os catro cintos, que é histórico. Será que ese loitador tamén será considerado campión libra por libra?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: Claro, Creo que estiven facendo moito no deporte do boxeo e mencionáronme o meu nome entre os tres primeiros. Estarei desexando ser o primeiro, ou quizais dous despois desta loita. Só depende de como o mire a xente. Nos meus ollos, Creo que xa son dous primeiros, así.
Foi frustrante para vostede que non teña o crédito que merece?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: Intento non pensar niso. Non podo preocuparme polo que a persoa pensa de min ou di sobre min. Ao final do día son eu o que ten que entrar alí e levar os golpes. Moita xente me critica por quen estou loitando porque quizais non son o seu loitador favorito ou quizais o fago mellor que o seu loitador favorito., ou hai un loitador que quere verme pelexar e a pelexa non ocorre ou pasa entón eu gáñoos. Despois din, "Oh, a única razón pola que Terence gañou foi porque é baixo’ ou ‘gañou porque era básico’ – sempre vai haber unha escusa con ese tipo de xente.
TODD ​​duBOEF: Estamos nun deporte que é disecado constantemente por persoas que odian, xente que ten axendas e ao final do día cando tes un fillo como Terence Crawford que é brillante no ring, só deixamos que o pobo decida o que é. Estaremos esgotados en Lincoln, Nebraska e acabamos de facelo 10,000 xente en Nova York – non imos perseguir o xogo de persoas e bloggers e cousas así que queren odiar porque nunca gañarás ese xogo..
Cantos aguantará Pinnacle?
TODD ​​duBOEF: Vai aguantar pouco máis 10,000.
Cales son os teus pensamentos loitando en Lincoln?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: Estou emocionado de que sexa a capital do noso estado e onde xoga o equipo de fútbol de Nebraska. É unha area bonita e sempre quixen loitar alí. Leváronme alí para ver un par de partidos e sempre imaxinaba que sería un bonito campo para loitar.. Todo o mundo por alí sempre me acolleu cos brazos abertos dicíndome: "Tes que vir loitar aquí"., tes que vir loitar aquí.’ Entón estou emocionado de que puiden facelo posible. Está a uns 45 minutos en coche de Omaha.
TODD ​​duBOEF: Imaxínate, entre 45 minutos en coche tes Lady GaGa en Omaha e Terence Crawford en Lincoln – non é unha mala noite de entretemento nunha zona pequena. Brian vas á pelexa ou a Lady GaGa?
BRYAN McINTYRE: Pois vou ir a GaGa en canto lle toquemos a este tipo. Coñézoa persoalmente.
CARL MORETTI: Terence é probablemente o campión máis activo do boxeo neste momento. A súa última defensa foi hai tres meses contra Félix Díaz e loitou en decembro antes e en xuño antes. Así, se miras xusto antes de gañar o título de peso lixeiro, poden ser oito defensas do título en 27 meses. Non creo que poidas atopar un campión máis activo que mellorou no ring defendendo o seu título máis que Crawford.
Que importante é ser activo?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: É moi importante. Estou tratando de sacar o meu nome e de conseguir o recoñecemento que me merezo. Aínda son novo e no meu mellor momento.
Que significa se Terence é capaz de noquear a Indongo o sábado noite.

BRIAN McINTYRE: Iso sería encantador – para facelo de boa forma así, non podes pedir nada mellor. Xa sabes que se buscas un nocaut non está.

Se gañas tes todos os cintos – preferirías quedarte alí ou subir?
estou en 140 agora e veña Sábado ese é o meu foco principal é Julius Indongo. Veremos como vai a pelexa e despois desa volta voltaremos e veremos cal será o seguinte movemento.

Como é cando tes un cambio rápido para o campo de adestramento? É máis doado?

TERENCE CRAWFORD: O campo de adestramento nunca é doado. Sempre é difícil pero ao mesmo tempo, Só tiven unha pelexa e volvín ao ximnasio e volvín ao ritmo de todo. É máis difícil cando tes un longo período de descanso porque esta vez estiven algo en forma.

Parece que te estabas pasando ben no campamento. Iso é normal?

TERENCE CRAWFORD: Gústanos pasalo ben no campo de adestramento. O campo de adestramento sempre é un traballo duro pero divírtete, traballo duro, pasalo ben, traballo duro – se non che gusta o que estás facendo, entón tes que conseguir un traballo diferente. Estamos bailando todos os campos de adestramento que tivemos e xogamos – ese son os diferentes tipos de cousas que facemos. En “Vida de Campamento” Quizais sexa a primeira vez que a xente vexa ese Terence Crawford exterior.
É importante para ti sacar iso?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: É importante para a miña marca pero ao mesmo tempo son só eu. Non me gusta dar a coñecer todos os meus movementos – fai un vídeo e di, 'Oh, isto é o que fago para gañarme a vida,’ Eu só ir co fluxo.
Se te consideras Número 2 libra por libra, quen dis que é Número 1?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: Andre Ward.
Onde estabas cando viu a McGregor facer o seu quecemento?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: Viña do ximnasio e todos estaban vendo un vídeo e preguntei que era, entón dixen que vou probar iso. Pasaron un par de días despois xuntei a todos para facer o McGregor Challenge.
Cal é a mellor resposta que obtiveches desde que subiu ese vídeo?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: Teño todo tipo de respostas – Estou recibindo resposta de odio, resposta de prexuízo, Teño moitas respostas positivas. A xente dime que McGregor me pegará. Eu só río – só nos divertimos con el.

Prema AQUI To Watch Gary Russell Jr.’s TKO
National Harbor (Maio 20) – From the MGM National HarborSeñor.” Gary Russell Jr, (28-1, 17 Kos) had a successful homecoming in front of a nearly sold out crowd as he defended his WBC Featherweight World title with a seventh-round stoppage against the very tough, strong-willed Columbian Oscar Escandon (25-3, 17 Kos) no evento principal da canle Showtime Championship Boxing.
Russell Jr. took control of the action from the outset, peppering the shorter Escandon at will and dropping him in the third.
Con todo, the brave Escandon fought his way back into the fight in the fourth and fifth stanzas, but Russell stormed into the seventh, battering the hurt Escandon and dropping him early, causing referee Harvey Dock to stop the fight at the 0:59 mark of the round (Prema AQUI to watch the TKO).
About the victory, Russell Jr. dito, “En primeiro lugar, I want to say happy birthday to my father. Secondly, I’d like to tell all the fans that came to support me: I love you all. Grazas.
I fought a tough competitor. I knew Escandon wanted to come and bring his best. I knew he was going to come forward. I was ready for him. We are warriors.
I want Lomachenko [next], that’s a no-brainer. I don’t want to do it for the fans or for the media, I want to do it for myself. And I want to do it twice. I’ll knock him out the first time and then, he’ll want me to fight him again.
I’d love to unify against all the other guys in the featherweight division. I’d like Leo Santa Cruz, Lee Selby, Oscar Valdez.
About the knockout loss, “I was getting my rhythm going and I felt like Gary was getting tired. I didn’t see him coming with the big punch he threw at the end and that was it. I went down and was hoping to get a 10 count, but the referee didn’t give it to me and he stopped the fight.
I knew that Gary was going to go fast from the first to the fifth round and it was part of my strategy to let him do that and get tired. It didn’t work unfortunately.
Now we need to go back to the drawing board to rest and see what my manager has planned for me.
Said trainer and father Gary Russell Sr., “I’m ecstatic. I’m really happy. I got three wins. Three stoppages. It’s my birthday. Eu son 15 minutes from home and I can go home and relax.
We prepared fully for Mr. Escandon. We knew he was going to do what he didcome forward. I don’t want to diminish or take anything away from Mr. Escandon. He really is a hard, rough fighter. Throughout the course of the fight, I instructed Gary to hit him with some good shots. Some hard shots. It is a brutal sport.
Co-featured on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in a 12-round clash for the IBF Interim Super Middleweight Title, pederneira, Michigan’s Andre Dirrell, (26-2, 16 Kos), was declared the winner after round eight as José Uzcategui, (26-2, 22 Kos) de Merida, Venezuela, was disqualified for a punch after the bell sounded to end the eighth round.
Uzcategui started fast, battering Dirrell from the opening round, cutting off the ring and slamming away with body and head shot through the first three rounds. Dirrell saw success starting in the fourth round, countering Uzcategui and scoring
ben.
Over the next four rounds, the contenders traded even as the fight became more hotly contested. At the end of the eighth round, with Dirrell backed into a neutral corner, Uzcategui let loose with a three-punch combination, the last left hand hitting the southpaw after the bell as he fell to the combination.
Following a delay to allow medical personnel to attend to Dirrell, referee Bill Clancy declared that Uzcategui was disqualified with Dirrell being declared the winner.
Said referee Bill Clancy about his decision, “The bell rang to stop the round. The round was over and Andre [Dirrell] was knocked out with an illegal punch. So therefore, Dirrell will win this fight by disqualification.
That’s a blatant foul. Earlier in the fight, I had warned Uzcategui. I warned him. Dirrell wins the fight, he was clearly unable to continue.
About the ending, Dirrell said, “All I remember was him [Uzcategui] throwing a shot at me at the same time the bell rang. After that everything was blurry. I remember a shot and then all went fuzzy.
I forgive Uzcategui. I forgive his camp. I don’t want to win a championship like this. I wanted to win fair and square. But I forgive him.
Following the decision, Dirrell’s trainer and uncle Leon Lawson punched Uzcategui in the corner, sparking a brief altercation in the ring that was quelled by MGM National Harbor security and local police.
I’m sorry for what my coach has done. My coach is my family, my uncle, and he was worried. He cares for me. He loves me. Please forgive him.
I’m going to stand up like a man. I didn’t win like I wanted to, but I’ll be back. I’m going to come back as soon as they let me.
Stated a very disappointed Uzcategui, “I felt very good. I was hurting him the entire fight. I felt like I could hurt him anytime I wanted. Nothing he hit me with hurt me.
I was throwing a three-punch combination and I didn’t hear the bell. I didn’t mean to hit him. The third punch wasn’t that hard of a punch. I was surprised he stayed down.
He did the same thing against Abraham that he did against me tonight. He quit against me and he quit against him. I deserve to be the winner.
The live televised fights in The Theater kicked-off with two-division world championRances Barthélemy (26-0, 13 Kos) winning a 12-round unanimous decision over valiant Kiryl Relikh, (25-3, 16 Kos), of Baranovichi, Byelorussia. Scores in the WBA Super Lightweight eliminator were 116-110, 115-111 e 117-109.
The opening two rounds of the fight featured excellent action with both fighters attempting to impose their will. In the third round Relikh suffered a low blow resulting in a two-minute delay, con todo, no point deduction was made by referee Kenny Chevalier. Following the low blow, the shorter Relikh became much more aggressive.
With the undefeated, blue-haired Barthelemy switching stances often in the fourth stanza, he was able to score at will against Relikh.
Con todo, Relikh came out charging in the fifth, battering away against Barthelemy who was caught against the ropes and scoring a knockdown when the ropes held the Cuban up from a barrage of hard punches.
Recovering nicely in the sixth and seventh, Barthelemy badly hurt Relikh with a multitude of body shots from both hands.
In the eight round Barthelemy truly turned the tide for good in the ninth, drilling Relikh to the canvas with a blistering left hook to the body. Through the championship rounds it was all Barthelemy who finished strong against the game but outgunned Relikh.
Said the victorious Barthelemy, “It feels great to be going forward. The 11-month layoff really took a toll on my body and I felt it in the ring.
I knew it was a close fight but knew I should get a unanimous decision.
Relikh was a hard hitter. He surprised me with a right hook in the 5th round and I hit the canvas, so I knew I had to be careful going forward. I knew I had lost that round and had to come back stronger.
I took the sixth round to take a breather and then I came back to work the body. Once I knocked him down, I saw that he was hurt and protecting himself upstairs a lot more so I knew I was going to have to be more strategic to come out victorious.
Replied a very disappointed Relikh, “Of course I thought I won. Even TV thought I won. The referee did his job when he called it a knockdown in the fifth. I thought it was over.
The two low blows definitely affected me. It takes the wind out of you. This is boxing not MMA.
Hot super bantamweight prospect Gary Russell Antonio mellorou a 8-0 with six knockouts with a dominating performance and knockout stoppage of Puerto Rico’s Jovany Fuentes, (7-9, 6 Kos). Following knockdowns in the second and third stanzas, the bout was called to a halt at 0:22 de tres rounds.
Making his pro debut, super lixeiro Gary Antuanne Russell, (1-0 1 KO) wasted no time dropping Joshua Ross, (2-4-4) of Monroe, LA to the canvas three times enroute to a stoppage victory at the 2:25 mark of the initial stanza.
Gervonta Davis went on the road in the first defense of his IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship and made a statement with an emphatic third-round TKO of previously undefeated local favorite Liam Walsh in the opening bout of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING from Copper Box Arena in London.
The southpaw Davis (18-0, 17 Kos) set the pace from the opening bell, connecting seemingly at will with a strong left hook. Na terceira rolda, America’s youngest world champion floored Walsh with a strong left after a series of brutal connecting combos on the inside. Walsh got up, but the onslaught continued seconds later and referee Michael Alexander stopped the championship bout at 2:11, with Walsh defenseless and on unsteady legs.
Tonight we were in the groove,” Davis said. “I think he was hurt pretty bad. The ref did his job and it was just a matter of time. I used my boxing IQ tonight and picked my shots, and when I picked my shots I got him out of there.
I’m still on the rise. I became a champion super-fast, but I’m still rising and there’s more to come.
Promoter Floyd Mayweather was ringside in London to support his fighter, who he’s christenedthe future of boxing.
Walsh (21-1, 14 Kos), who entered the bout as the No. 1 challenger and the decided local favorite at Copper Box, was disappointed with the stoppage.
He’s very fast, very active, but that was too quick,” Walsh said. “He won fair and square, but sometimes they stop the fight too early. I never got an opportunity. I’m not saying the result would be different, but give me a chance.
I’d love to fight him again. I’d fight him for next to nothing.

LONDRES (Maio 19, 2017) – America’s youngest world champion, Gervonta Davis, and undefeated No. 1 contender Liam Walsh both tipped the scale at the 130-pound limit during Venres official weigh-in at the 133-year-old Theatre Royal Stratford East for Sábado IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship on SHOWTIME.

O Sábado at the sold-out Copper Box Arena in London, the 22-year-old “Tank” Davis (17-0, 16 Kos) will attempt to become the first American to successfully defend his title on British soil in nearly a decade. The 30-year-old Walsh (21-0, 14 Kos) will aim to dethrone a man labeled by Davis promoter Floyd Mayweather as “the future of boxing” in the first defense of his IBF crown.

The referee for Davis vs. Walsh is Michael Alexander, and the judges are Howard Foster (Inglaterra), Robin Taylor (Estados Unidos) and Deon Dwarte (Sudáfrica).

With fans chanting “Walsh is gonna get you” as Davis stepped on the scale, the Baltimore native narrowly missed the 130-pound limit by two ounces. Per IBF rules, Davis was given two hours to shed the extra ounces and successfully made weight approximately 90 minutos máis tarde.

“I feel good,” Davis said. “I’m ready.”

After the weigh-in, Walsh downplayed the tense stare down and words exchanged during the faceoff.

"Mañá we’ll lay hands on each other for real and the best man will come on top. I’m gonna win. I’m going to give every last ounce of what I’ve got.”

Davis vs. Walsh is part of a split-site, four-fight SHOWTME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins on Sábado, Maio 20, en 6 p.m. E/3 p.m. PT. No evento principal, Gary Russell Jr. will make his second featherweight title defense and long-awaited homecoming against mandatory challenger Oscar Escandon live from MGM National Harbor just outside of Washington, D.C.

Aquí está o que os participantes tiñan que dicir Xoves from MGM National Harbor:
GARY RUSSELL JR.
I never magnify an event, even though it’s at home. The end objective is still the same. But I think it’s cool that everyone in our neighborhood has the opportunity to be in the arena and see what we do.
“Eu son 100 percent physically and mentally ready for the challenge and I’m on top of everything I can be.
When you get caught up in the hype, it’s a deficiency in yourself. You have to be able to focus on the objective over everything else.
I believe in my ability but also the ability of my brothers. So I’m not nervous for them. I know what they’ve been taught. They conduct themselves like young men in and out of the ring.
I want a unification bout after this. I’m ready for any of the other world champions. We can line them all up in the same night if you want. If I can’t get those fights, I’m going to move up in weight and bully around these bigger guys.
I look at each fighter as their own individual. We don’t prepare the same way for every opponent. He’s a tough fighter who comes forward. He’s very physical and I expect him to be at his best o sábado. It’s up to me to counteract what he does.
“Eu amo este deporte. Eu amo o que fago. I love being able to prepare for no one else, but the person across the ring and then dismantling him.
We worked on versatility most. We believe in the sweet science. A lot of these guys just win because they’re stronger and faster. We want to be more technically sound too.
OSCAR ESCANDON
This is a very important fight for my career. This is going to elevate me to where I want to be and give me the platform to do anything in the sport. I’m very well prepared for this.
I feel strong and healthy at 126-pounds. I’m focused on this fight Sábado noite. I’ll fight anyone but right now I have to get past Gary Russell Jr.
In my last fight I was the underdog. People counted me out. Same thing applies here. I’ve done the work and I’m confident that I’m going to win.
I didn’t have complete training camps with my past trainers, but now I’m with Ruben Guerrero. I’m learning so much. You can look at me in my previous fights and you’ll see a vast improvement now.
I want that green (WBC) belt a lot. Green is my favorite color. I want to be the best and to me, winning that title signifies that I am the best. To do that I have to beat the best, and that is Gary Russell Jr.
I don’t like to talk much but I will say that I’m coming to bring this world title back to Colombia. I respect Gary but my mindset is that I’m taking this title home.
ANDRE DIRRELL
It’s been a long hard journey for me. But I’ve always managed to climb back on top. The hard work that I’ve put in will make Sábado night easy work.
My opponent is a fantastic fighter. If anyone should be in line for a title it’s this guy. He has the the power and he has the skill. I just believe he’s up against a better and tougher opponent.
I’m going to get in the ring and display all of my abilities. I’m very confident and ready. It’s time for Andre to get on top and stay on top.
I’ve been out of the ring for a while but most importantly, I’ve stayed in the gym in training the whole time. I’ve kept positive mentally as well. Everything is going upward right now and I’m going to take advantage.
Uzcategui has everything a world champion needs to get to that title, but he’s facing a more skilled competitor on Maio 20. He’s deserving of the opportunity and that’s why I trained so hard for this fight.
The title means the world to me. We fight for the titles first. We’re all coming from the amateurs where we got trophies. My love will always be here with the sport until the day I retire.
JOSE Uzcategui
You won’t want to miss any of these fights o sábado noite. It’s a great card and I’m planning to steal the show.
I like when my opponent talks a lot. None of the stuff my opponent says can help him in the ring. It’s just me, him and our fists.
It’s a lot of responsibility to be the top contender for the belt. I have to make it clear that we deserve this so that I can move on to bigger and better things.
People are going to get to see my power on display Sábado noite, but also my other skills. I can do it all in the ring and I’m going to prove it.
After this I want to take on James DeGale and Gilberto Ramirez. I’m coming to clean out this whole division and be undisputed. It starts o sábado.”
Rances Barthélemy
I’m living a dream right now that I myself never in a million years imagined. Every time I get to speak with my mother in Cuba, I tell her of this dream that I am currently living and how it is still surreal to me. To be able to fight on these big cards in the U.S. after the long journey, after all the setbacks, I could not be any more grateful.
Being a world champion in two different weight divisions is something still unreal to me after people doubted whether I would even become a world champion one day. But this journey does not stop here for me. I have the urge to keep on going, make history for my people, and fight the big names in boxing.
Everyone in my team supports and motivates each other because we know we as Cubans have to work twice as hard as everybody else. There is an unfair representation of Cuban boxers among the press and fans here in America. We are misconstrued as being boring fighters therefore we are determined to erase that stigma and prove to everyone that we can brawl and put on a good show just as much as we can box.
I have been working on some new and different things to add to my arsenal this training camp. My whole team has been incredible and pushed me every day.
“Non perda esta loita o sábado noite. It’s going to be eventful and exciting. I’m coming to get a spectacular win.
KIRYL RELIKH
I’m very happy to be here and be a part of this great show. I will do my best to give a great fight o sábado.
Camp was perfect. I have a great team and I’m ready for anything. We worked hard and it’s going to be a great performance.
I’m ready for any style that that Rances Barthelemy can bring into the ring. We thought that we got the win in Scotland against Ricky Burns, but it is very hard to win on points on the road.
I always fight in different countries so this is just another one on my list. It’s normal for me. I’m very ready for the challenge and I’m expecting a great fight.
I hope that people like my style. I’m going to entertain the fans and get a victory over Rances Barthelemy o sábado noite.”
GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL
I get to pick up right where I left off after the Olympics. I’m fighting on the same night with my brothers for the first time in so long. It was one of my first amateur fights when we last did it.
“Estou me sentindo realmente bo. We’re making a statement and we’re making history. What’s not to be excited about?
Mentally and emotionally the Olympics really helped me for the pros. You have to develop over time. We’re constantly training and sharpening our tools. This is a different stage, iso é todo.
I hope everyone is ready for Sábado noite. There were some mishaps at the Olympics. Life is going to throw you bumps to get over, e iso é o que eu vou facer. Everyone better keep their eyes open Sábado, because it might be quick.
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL
I’m really excited about this fight and competing alongside my brothers. It feels good to come home and fight. My family and friends will be in the building.
I can’t wait to get in the ring and show what we’ve been working so hard on. All the hours in the gym with my dad and brothers is going to pay off on fight night.
I’ve seen some video of my opponent. I know his weaknesses and strengths. We’re going to come exploit it on fight night.
GARY RUSSELL ST., Father and Trainer of the Russells
We work hard in the gym. Everybody has a plan until they get hit. We know that he’s going to bring pressure and we’ll be ready for it.
I’m really happy about this opportunity. We can get it all done in one night and put on a great show for everyone.
I’m definitely in fight mode. There are no extra nerves at all. I just want to get this done and get it done right.
I can’t really put Escandon in the same category with the top guys we’ve faced. He’s a short fighter. Most people in these weight classes are taller than Gary. At that size, the only way you can fight is straight forward. He’s not going to out box us.
RUBEN GUERRERO, Escandon’s Trainer
We’re ready over here. We’re going to do what it takes. Sabemos o que imos afrontar. He’s one of the best. We’ll prove who is the best o sábado. This is going to come down to a war. Gary knows what he’s going against.
I helped Escandon set up a camp in Las Vegas for this fight because this was a huge opportunity. We were up in the mountains and that’s where I wanted him. He’s going to be great on fight night. He’ll be ready to go. It’s not easy to train in Vegas.
“Estamos chegando a gañar. We can’t control the judges but we know they’re fair. We’re expecting a fair shake. We’re going to control what we can.
