NEW YORK (Toukokuu 25, 2017) – SHOWTIME Sports will offer a fully-produced Facebook and YouTube live stream of George Groves vs. Fedor Chudinov Super Middleweight World Championship bout this Saturday, Toukokuu 27 from Sheffield, Englanti. Groves vs. Chudinov will serve as a prelude to the long-awaited SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® main event—the welterweight championship bout between British World Champion Kell Brook and undefeated American challenger Errol Spence Jr., which will air live on SHOWTIME at 5:15 p.m. JA/2:15 p.m. PT.

Live coverage of Groves vs. Chudinov will be provided by Sky Sports Box Office with sportscasters Adam Smith and Carl Froch and will begin at approximately 4:30 p.m. JA/1:30 p.m. PT exclusively in the U.S. on SHOWTIME Sports Facebookpage and the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube kanava. Fans can follow all SHOWTIME Sports social accounts (SHOsports) lauantaina afternoon for the precise start time to Groves vs. Chudinov following undercard action from Bramall Lane stadium in Sheffield, Englanti. These platforms will be geo-blocked for U.S. vain.

“When we saw the opportunity to deliver this great super middleweight championship fight to the U.S. yleisö, we jumped at it,” said Executive Vice President and General Manager of SHOWTIME Sports, Stephen Espinoza. “We thank Matchroom Sport for making it possible for us to carry this bonus coverage to the U.S. Doing so compliments our robust digital and social media content plan serving boxing fans online and attracting new ones. This further demonstrates our unrivaled commitment to the sport. No one is making a more significant and impactful contribution to boxing’s momentum than SHOWTIME.”

Former three-time title challenger Groves and former champ Chudinov (14-1, 10 KOs) will meet for the vacant WBA Super Middleweight World Championship in a matchup of the WBA’s No. 1 ja o. 2 challengers in a co-featured bout at Bramall Lane.

Groves (25-3, 18 KOs) has won four straight since teaming up with 2016 Trainer of the Year Shane McGuigan following a close split-decision loss to then-WBC Champion Badou Jack in 2015. The only other blemishes on his record came in title challenges to long-time 168-pound champ Carl Froch.

“I believe this is the best opportunity for me to achieve my dream and become world champion,” Groves said earlier this week. “Time is on my side. I had a good year last year, and I’m in a good place. I’ve put in the work, ja nyt, I need to make this count.

“Everything that’s happened in the past has just made me more determined. I know the pressure is on, and I can’t afford to make any more mistakes. This might be my best chance to win a world title, but it could also be my last.”

Chudinov (14-1, 10 KOs) originally won the WBA Super Middleweight Title with a split-decision victory over Felix Sturm in 2015 and made one successful defense before losing via controversial majority decision in a rematch with Sturm in 2016. Sturm later vacated the belt due to injury, opening up the opportunity for Chudinov to win back his title lauantaina against Groves. Chudinov is ranked No. 1 by the WBA while Groves is ranked No. 2.

SHEFFIELD (Toukokuu 24) – Kell Brook will make his fourth IBF Welterweight World Title defense against U.S. star Errol Spence Jr. at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England this Lauantai toukokuu 27, elää Showtime (5:15 p.m. JA / 2:15 p.m. PT).

 

Puro (36-1, 25 KOs) and mandatory challenger Spence, (21-0, 18 KOs), clash on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING in one of the biggest fights in the 147-pound division, and the elite pairing are promising to deliver an electric night of action.

 

Both fighters participated in a public media workout today, Keskiviikko, at Peace Gardens in Sheffield, Englanti. Below is what they had to say:

 

KELL BROOK

“We are going to rock Sheffield lauantaina yö. Olen valmis, I’m pumped, En voi odottaa.

 

“There is a lot of pressure but I always perform better under pressure. I’m meant to be on the big stage, I’m ready for the pressure and to see the bright lights.

 

"[Errol Spence] is a serious dude from America, he’s a young hungry lion, but he’s not beaten anyone like me. I’m a champion and I’ve been a champion. I’m defending. I know both sides of the coin, I’ve prepared very well.

 

“I’m ready for a war. And that’s what you’re going to see – a war Lauantai yö. There are going to be two winners Lauantai yö: that is going to be myself and everyone watching.

 

“There’s no way he can beat me. I’m a man possessed and I have a serious job to do. This is my night to shine.

 

“I love it [being the underdog]. I was born for it. People don’t have me winning this fight, but that just gives me the extra energy I need to go out and prove them all wrong.

 

“This guy is a talented guy, but he’s never been tested. He’s never been in with someone who is so determined like me. Who’s bigger, vahvempi, who has all this energy, who’s meant for this game, who’s meant to be a winner. He hasn’t been in with someone with that mindset, and that’s what I’m coming to bring lauantaina.

 

“All the hard work has been done. The talking will stop; we’re ready to let some fireworks fly now.

 

“I can see us both maybe hitting the canvas. You’re going to be on the edge of your seat from round one. He’s not going to take a backwards step, and I’m not [jompikumpi]. All I can say is it’s going to be a thriller.

 

“I’ve arrived. Se unelma. It’s going to be so perfect for me that night to walk out and just see everyone. The electricity is going to be phenomenal.”

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

“This is my time, this is my era. This is my time to shine. This is my time to get the belts, this is my time to unify and become the undisputed welterweight champion of the world. This is just another stepping stone to get to where I want to be.

 

"Olen 100 prosenttia valmis, Olen 100 percent focused, and I’m 100 percent ready to give the fans what they want, which is a real great fight.

 

“I can’t let the fans get to me. I’m not worried about him having his hometown fans. Eventually everyone will be my fans by the end of the night.

 

“I don’t feel the pressure at all. I feel like there is more pressure on him because he’s fighting at home. Of course there’s pressure on me to win, but I welcome that pressure. It’s going to do nothing but motivate me, make me more hungry and make we want to win even more.

 

“You just have to have that ‘it’ factor, and I think I have it. I’m not worried about the crowd, I’m not worried about the boos or anything like that.

 

“It’s a good step-up. Kell Brook is a good fighter, he has great skills. I welcome this step-up – I’ve been asking for it for a long time and I’m finally getting my opportunity.

 

“My confidence comes from my hard work. I know the hours and time that I put in the gym.”

 

“This is an ideal situation. I would be disappointed if I was fighting someone else because he vacated. Olen todellinen taistelija, Haluan taistella paras, I want to fight the champion and earn it the right way. I can’t wait to prove I am one of the best fighters in the welterweight division.

 

“I’ve been on the USA team for a long time. Kuten amatööri, representing U.S. in the Olympics and as a pro having this USA patch on me and fighting for my country. Tunnen Lauantai is kind of like a USA vs UK battle. And U.S.A. is going to win.”

NYKYINEN & ENNEN WELTERWEIGHT-VALIOT PAINO KELL BROOKISSA vs.. ERROL SPENCE IBF 147-PUNAINEN MAAILMANMESTARI TÄMÄ LAUANTA LIVE SHOWTIME®

 

Sugar-sokerihalli Ray Leonard, Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter & Lisää keskustele uusimmista sarjoista, joissa keskipainoinen menestys

 

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP NYRKKEILY® Live At 5:15 p.m. JA/2:15 p.m. PT Bramall Lanelta Sheffieldissä, Englanti

 

NEW YORK (Toukokuu 23, 2017) - IBF: n keskipainoinen maailmanmestari Kell Brook ja voittamaton nouseva tähti Errol Spence kohtaavat lauantaina elää Showtime (5:15 p.m. JA/2:15 p.m. PT) viimeisimmässä sarjassa merkittäviä keskipainoisia otteluita parhaiden taistelijoiden välillä yhdessä nyrkkeilyn syvimmistä divisioonista.

 

Kuusi maailman kahdeksasta parhaasta keskipainosta * on taistellut vuoden viiden ensimmäisen kuukauden aikana 2017 - kaikki SHOWTIME- tai CBS-tilassa - koska tosiasiallisesti turnaus jatkuu 147 kilon luokassa, jotta määritetään Ei. 1 hävittäjä jaossa, jota eläkkeellä oleva Floyd Mayweather hallitsee pitkään.

*Lähde: Kansainväliset nyrkkeilysijoitukset

 

WBA: n ja WBC: n keskipainoisen maailmanmestari Keith Thurman yhdisti tittelit Maaliskuu 4 jaetulla päätöksellä voitolla Danny Garcialla harvinaisessa voittamattomien mestareiden ottelussa. Lamont Peterson poimi toissijaisen WBA Regular -tittelin Helmikuu. 18, ja Huhtikuu 22 Shawn Porter pudotti Andre Berton pakolliseksi haastajaksi Thurmanin WBC-vyölle. Jäljellä oleva keskipainon mestari, Manny Pacquiao, puolustaa WBO-titteliään Jeff Hornia vastaan Heinäkuu 2.

 

Nyt on Brook ja Spence vuoro ottaa keskipiste nyrkkeilyn glamour-divisioonassa.

 

Tänä lauantaina Sheffield, Englanti, Puro (36-1, 25 KOs) tekee neljännen puolustuksen IBF - vyöstä, jonka hän voitti enemmistöpäätöksellä Porterista vuonna 2004 2014. 31-vuotias, joka ei ole koskaan kaatanut, on päättäväinen kotikaupungin suosikki sen edessä, jonka odotetaan olevan 25 000 plus fania ensimmäisessä maailmanmestaruuskilpailussa Bramall Lanen 162 vuoden historiassa.

 

27-vuotias Spence (21-0, 18 KOs) on pitkään pidetty yhtenä nyrkkeilyn arvostetuimmista näkymistä. IBF: n nro. 1 kilpailija on pudonnut kahdeksan suoraa vastustajaa ja on parantunut vastustuksensa noustessa - hänen kuudella viimeisellä vastustajallaan oli vaikuttava yhdistetty ennätys 151 voittaa vain kahdeksaa tappiota vastaan. Dallasissa asuva matkustaa ulkomaille tämän kauan odotetun tittelimahdollisuuden vuoksi, kun hän yrittää tulla ensimmäiseksi amerikkalaiseksi, joka tuhosi englantilaisen Britannian maalla lähes vuosikymmenen aikana. **

 

Sekä Spence että Brook vahvistavat aikomuksensa yhtenäistää jako jälkeen Toukokuu 27, katso alla, mistä legendaarinen Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard ja nykyiset huippupelipainot sanovat Lauantain IBF-tittelin ottelu.

 

SUGAR RAY LEONARD - Entinen kiistaton keskipainoisen maailmanmestari

“Olen todella innoissani tästä taistelusta, lähinnä siksi, että molempien taistelijoiden on oltava A-pelissä. Tiedän, että Kellin silmäleikkaus on psykologinen ongelma, mutta henkilökohtaisesta kokemuksesta, En näe, että näin olisi. En koskaan ajatellut silmääni, kun lääkäri antoi minulle vihreän valon.

 

"Kysyä minulta, kuka voittaa tämän taistelun, Minulla on suosikkini Errol Spencessä. Mutta, kunkin taistelijan fyysisen tykistön perusteella, yksi booli voi kääntää pöydät ympäri. Tästä huolimatta, Aion istua alas ja katsella hienoa yötä nyrkkeilyä. "

 

KEITH THURMAN - yhtenäinen WBA & WBC: n keskipainoinen maailmanmestari

”Tämä on mielenkiintoinen taistelu. En ole seurannut Kellia liikaa, mutta olen selvästi nähnyt Errolin taistelevan Yhdysvalloissa. Errol on kova, nuori taistelija, joka on vasta yleisön silmissä, ja Kellillä on ilmeisesti brittiläisen väkijoukon vahvuus hänen puolellaan.

 

"Sen pitäisi olla kova taistelu, joka todella puhuu keskipaino-divisioonan vahvuuteen. Molemmat taistelijat ovat miehiä, jotka olisin avoin taisteluille, kun jatkan jaon yhtenäistämistä 2018. Taistelun faneina, Katsotaanpa, mikä on Kell Brookin ”erikoista”, ja näemme, pystyykö Errol Spence näyttämään meille olevansa "Totuus". Sen pitäisi olla hieno taistelu, ja minä katson. "

 

DANNY GARCIA - Entinen keskisarjan maailmanmestari

“Mielestäni tämä on 50/50 taistelu. Luulen, että henkilö, jolla on parempi pelisuunnitelma, voittaa. Spencein tapaan jonkun takapihalle menossa on paljon paineita, ja hän ei ole koskaan aikaisemmin kohdannut taistelijaa parhaimmillaan. Se on ehdottomasti testi hänelle ja iso askel kilpailussa. Jos hän on valmis, hän voi tehdä sen. Hänen täytyy vain mennä sinne ja pysyä keskittyneenä.

 

“Keskipaino on paras nyrkkeilyosasto. Minusta tuntuu edelleen olevani yksi parhaista keskipainoista maailmassa, vaikka tulin lyhyeksi. En koskaan ajatellut sanovan, että menetys tekisi minusta vahvemman, koska en nähnyt itseni häviävän. Haluan nimeni takaisin ja että minua pidetään parhaana parhaassa divisioonassa.”

 

SHAWN PORTER - Entinen keskisarjan mestari & Nykyinen WBC-numero. 1 Haastaja

"Olen iloinen siitä, että Errol saa tittelinsä, ja olen iloinen siitä, että hän menee Englantiin sen vuoksi. Olen ilmeisesti vetämässä amerikkalaista. Errol on ilmiömäinen urheilija ja loistava nyrkkeilijä. Luulen, että hän on valmis näyttämään maailmalle jotain, mutta Kell on oikeassa tuossa huipputason painoissa. Virittyvien ihmisten tulisi olla innoissaan. Tiedän, että odotan sitä innolla.

 

”Keskipaino-jako on mahtava, ylhäältä alas. Olemme oikeassa siellä missä meidän täytyy olla ja pitäisi olla. PBC: llä palanneet massat nyrkkeily oli täydellinen aika minulle ja muille huipputason painoille. Meitä on niin paljon, että pystymme voittamaan tittelin juuri nyt. "

 

LAMONT PETERSON - WBA (Säännöllinen) Keskipainoinen maailmanmestari

"Tästä tulee kova taistelu, mutta mielestäni Errolin pitäisi voittaa. Ainakin vedon Errolin voittoon. Hänen on voitettava ajatus, että todennäköisesti tulee olemaan 30,000 ihmiset huutavat häntä vastaan, joten hänen on näytettävä tuomareille, että hän ansaitsee voiton.

 

"Brook on hyvä taistelija ja tuo parhaansa, mutta luulen Errol, lopussa, on parempi taistelija. Mutta hänen on todistettava se.

 

“Keskipaino-divisioona on yksi parhaista nyrkkeilyssä tällä hetkellä. Meillä on paljon hyviä taistelijoita parhaimmillaan, mikä tekee divisioonasta vahvan. Ja kaverit ovat valmiita taistelemaan toisiaan vastaan. Näemme sellaisia ​​taisteluita, joita fanit haluavat nähdä. Jos tämä jatkuu, se voi tuoda nyrkkeilyn takaisin sinne, missä se oli päivinä, jolloin Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns ja Marvin Hagler taistelivat toisiaan vastaan. Joten se on todella hyvä nyrkkeilyyn juuri nyt.”
