Doubleheader של התקפי כותרת בחטיבת 140 פאונד לרווחה מכין את הקרקע עבור שידוך איחוד פוטנציאלי.
The-בת 29 גרסיה (37-0, 30 קוס), בנחרצות חזר רשימות קילו-עבור-קילו ב 2017 by scoring a highlight reel knockout of Dejan Zlaticanin to win the WBC Lightweight World Championship in January and then dominating four-division champion Adrien Broner on his way to a unanimous decision in July.

*Pacquiao זכה באליפויות מקווקוות ב 126 and 140-pounds, למרות שהוא לא זכה כותרים האלפבית.

"ברור המטרה מספר אחת עבור 2018 היא להביא חגורה הביתה כי על פבואר 10," אמר ברתלמי (26-0, 13 קוס). "אז אני רוצה לאחד את עם כל אלופי אחרים. רזולוצית השנה החדשה שלי היא להקיף את עצמי באנשים טובים לזכות בתארי עולם מרובים."

 

 

 

"קודם כל אני חייב לנצח במאבק הזה בחודש פברואר," אמר Relikh (21-2, 19 קוס). "אבל אז יש לי תקוות של שנה נהדרת בהגנת החגורה שלי נגד החובה ולבסוף קרב איחוד. זו תהיה השנה שאני מגיע לרמה חדשה בספורט הזה."

 

 

 

ברתלמי ו Relikh יילחמו כותרת העולם הקלילה סופר הפנוי של WBA לאחר התקף Eliminator הכותרת בחודש מאי הסתיים בהחלטה שנויה במחלוקת עבור ברתלמי. הפעם הלוחמים ייראו לעזוב ללא ספק עם הכותרת מלאה על הקו.

 

 

 

"זו הפעם השנייה שלי נלחמת על תואר עולמי וזה יהיה שיעור שני בשבילי," אמר Relikh. "זהו הזמן שלי להיות אלוף. אני צריך לעשות הרבה יותר במהלך המאבק הזה.

 

 

 

"אני חייב להיות צודק אגרסיבי מההתחלה. אני בטוח שאני צריך בנוקאאוט כדי להשיג את הניצחון. הוא יכול לנסות לברוח, אבל הוא לא יוכל להסתיר ממני."

 

 

 

"זכייה בתואר זה יהיה חלום שהתגשם עבורי," אמר ברתלמי. "אני אהיה לוחם הקובני הראשון בהיסטוריה שזכה בתואר בשלוש חטיבות שונות. הקרב האחרון היה קרוב מאוד וראוי משחק גומלין.

 

 

 

"אני פשוט צריך להיצמד לתוכנית המשחק שלי ולהראות לכולם שאני הלוחם 140 פאונד הכי טוב בעולם. המפתח יהיה להישאר יריות קשות ממושמע אדמה כל הלילה."

 

 

 

לוחמי שניהם הקריבו במחנה אימונים על הכביש למה הם מקווים להיות רגע חגיגי על פבואר 10, מתאמן חזק דרך החגים כדי להישאר על היעד עבור לילה המאבק.

 

 

 

"כל הצוות שלי עשה עבודה פנטסטית עד כה במחנה," אמר ברתלמי. "ישמעאל סאלאס וג'ואל Casamayor נותן לי טיפים מעולים ולשמור עלי התמקד המטרה שלי. דבר אחד חדש הוסיף המחנה הזה הוא בוב סנטוס לתזונה וכוח ומיזוג. זה עשה הבדל גדול במהלך החגים שבו אני בדרך כלל אוכל יותר מדי. הוא החזיק אותי על דיאטה קפדנית וההכשרה מעולם לא הייתה טובה יותר."

 

 

 

"אלה אחרונים שבועות עד אחרי החגים היו הקשים ביותר של המחנה שלי, כך שאין מקום הסחות דעת," אמר Relikh. "ביליתי שנה חדשה עם המשפחה שלי ואז הייתי זכות חזרה אל מחנה אימונים בבוקר."

 

 

 

עם שתי חגורות בחטיבת 140 פאונד על הקו באותו הלילה, המנצח בין ברתלמי ו Relikh יהיה בעמדה מצוינת להתחיל נתיב לכיוון איחוד לאחר פברואר 10.

 

 

 

"אני אצטרך העין שלי על האירוע המרכזי בוודאות," אמר Relikh. "אני מתמקד ברתלמי עכשיו, אבל אני רוצה לאחד ואם זה אומר להילחם גרסיה או Lipinets, אני אהיה מוכן."

 

 

 

"גרסיה vs. Lipinets הולך להיות קרב גדול ואני בהחלט רוצה הזוכה," אמר ברתלמי. "למרות Lipinets הוא האנדרדוג נכנס לקרב הזה, אני חושב שהוא הולך לתת גרסיה כל מה שהוא יכול להתמודד. אבל אני עדיין חושב גרסיה יהיה לצאת על גבי, הגדרת המלחמה בינינו התקף איחוד."

מייקי גךסיה
“אנו צפויים לקבל קרב תחרותי קשוח. Lipinets הוא לוחם שתמיד מסוכן. יש לו כוח בשתי הידיים והוא לא מפחד לתת בידיו ללכת. הוא גם מוכן לקבל מכה, כך הוא יכול להכות אותך בחזרה. זה מה שעושה אותו מסוכן.
“הזדמנות זו כדי לזכות בתואר ב חלוקה רביעית הייתה גדולה מכדי לעבור על. קשה לאבטח קרבות ככה. אני שמח שהכל בא ביחד כדי שנוכל לתת למעריצים מופע גדול.
“בשנה שעברה הייתה שנה מצוינת עבור שובי. זה התחיל עם ניצחון באליפות העולם על התואר בליגה השלישית ואז היה לי ניצחון גדול מעל אדריאן ברונר בקיץ. אני מחפש עוד יותר דברים 2018 ובשנה שעברה זה באמת סללה את הדרך כי.
“זכייה בתואר רביעי היה לצייר הגדול בשבילי בהפיכת המאבק הזה לקרות. כדי לעשות היסטוריה כזאת היא משהו שבאמת מניע אותי. אני יודע שיש לי עוד הרבה מה להשיג בספורט, אבל זוהי התחלה טובה. זהו הכיוון שאני רוצה ללכת.
“יש הרבה כישרון והיסטוריה באיגרוף בסן אנטוניו. עכשיו אחי כושר כאן ויש לנו הרבה לוחמים ואנחנו להתאמן עם מהאזור. למרות שאני אף פעם לא נלחם כאן, קיבלתי הרבה תמיכה מהקהילה. כשחיפשנו במקומות לקרב, זה היה משהו נורא שמח לעשות.
“נלחמתי באזורים שונים של טקסס ותמיד קבלתי המון אהבה, אבל מעולם לא הייתי מסוגל להילחם בסן אנטוניו. החלטנו להביא את המאבק כאן כדי לתת משהו בחזרה למדינת טקסס. אין עיר טובה יותר לארח אותו מ סן אנטוניו.”
סרגיי LIPINETS
“האוהדים בסן אנטוניו יכולים לצפות בדרמה. זה הולך להיות מופע. זה הולך להיות גדול אגרופים, knockdowns והכל היית רוצה לראות בקטטה.
“זהו האתגר הגדול ביותר שקרו לי בקריירה שלי. מייקי הוא כוכב גדול, אבל אני מאוד תחרותי ואני רוצה להראות לעולם מה אני יכול לעשות.
“הרוח שלי לא ניתן להתאים על ידי כל קרב, אבל יש לי גם את המהירות ואת הכוח לנצח. אני אראה הכח ההרסני שלי על פבואר 10.
“מייקי הוא שחקן שחמט טוב מאוד. אנשים לזלזל ביכולתו לחשוב על הטבעת. אז אני לא יכול פשוט להיכנס לשם עם סגנון שמישהו אחר השתמש נגדו. אנחנו הולכים לעבוד קשה על תכנית המשחק הטובה ביותר עבור מה אני יכול לעשות.
“זה הולך להיות קרב קשה. אני מכוון להשיג ניצחון בכל דרך שאני יכול. אני לא יכול להגיד מה זה הולך להיראות כמו, אבל אני אהיה מוכן לכל דבר בזירה.
“אני בא כדי לנצח. אני רוצה להיות בעמדה כי מייקי הגיע בספורט הזה. עבדתי קשה כדי להגיע לרגע הזה ואני הולך לתת לו את כל כולי כדי לנצל.
“אם לא הייתי חושב שאני מוכן לקרב הזה אז לא הייתי לוקח אותה. יש לנו תוכנית ואנחנו נשתמש בכל ניסיון הרווחתי מן הקריירה שלי כדי לבצע אותה.”
ריצ'רד שייפר, יוֹשֵׁב רֹאשׁ & מנכ"ל ספורט Ringstar
“איגרוף הוא הולך אל 2018 עם מומנטום ענק מתחיל עם אירועים גדולים כמו זה. יש לך שני אלופים מנוצחים מקבלים את הטבעת כדי להילחם זה בזה. These kind of fights are going to continue to elevate the sport to great heights.
“זה היה מאבק קל לעשות כי יש לך שני לוחמים שרוצים למדוד את עצמם מול מיטב. זהו מאבק כי יש לעשות במהירות. היה גם לוחם להשתכנע. שני הבחורים מרגישים שהם יכולים לנצח והם הולכים לקרב עם גישה של לוחם בלתי מנוצח.
“אף אחד מהחבר'ה האלה יש כל מחשבה כי הם עלולים לאבד. הם 100 אחוז משוכנע שהם הולכים לצאת משם עם היד מורמת. זה מה הולך להפוך את זה matchup גדול.”

הנה מה שהיו לי משתתפי מסיבת העיתונאים לומר יום שני מחדר קונגה ב L.A. בשידור חי:

 

מייקי גךסיה

 

“A world champion like Sergey Lipinets is more exciting an opponent for me than an easy title defense. I wanted a challenge and this man presents that. He’s a bigger man naturally. He’s going to be very hungry and motivated. He knows a victory over me launches his career to the top. That’s going to make this an interesting fight.

 

“To win a world title in a fourth division is a big deal to me. My dad always wanted a three-division world champion, and now I have a chance to give him a fourth title. That’s something that really excites me.

 

“It’s been a great return to boxing since my layoff. When I came back, I wanted to move fast and take on big challenges. That’s what we’ve been doing so far. I want to take on any challenges that people think I can’t achieve. I think slowly we’re proving to everyone that I’m better than ever and I’m going to keep taking on the kinds of fights that will cement my legacy.

 

“It would be a great accomplishment to be in the discussion with guys like Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, that would be a win in itself. But it wasn’t on my mind when taking this fight. I just want to keep fighting the best out there. There’s still more for me to accomplish until I’m on the same level as Pacquiao and Marquez.

 

“It’s going to be a great fight. Like I’ve said, the challenge for me is that I’ll be fighting the bigger man. במוצאי מאבק, that advantage he has on me might be enough to make it that much more exciting. It will be interesting to see how well I adapt to the size. I have to make adjustments to overcome those challenges. This should give the fans the excitement that we want to give them.

 

“My only focus is on פבואר 10 against Sergey Lipinets. That’s my target throughout the entire camp. There may be more opportunities for me on the horizon, but you’ll see on fight night that I’m one hundred percent focused.

 

“I know that I have the possibility to be the biggest star in boxing like a Floyd Mayweather, and I think I’m on track to accomplish that. I don’t see a lot of guys in the sport with the resume of accomplishments that I have. I’m going to continue take on the best and beat my opponents convincingly.”

 

סרגיי LIPINETS

 

“Mikey Garcia is a great champion and I want to be in the position that he’s reached in this sport. The only way there is to go through him.

 

“I’m taking on a great challenge against Mikey Garcia, and many people think I’m not ready. This is the fight that I wanted. I’ve had many obstacles in my way throughout my career and I’ve overcome them all. I’m going to overcome Mikey Garcia just like that.

 

“Every time I have sparred with top fighters, like Terrence Crawford, I have learned more about what I need to improve to get to the next level in this sport. That kind of experience has helped my confidence increase and will help me when I face Mikey Garcia.

 

“A lot of things can happen when you move up in weight. Usually people use some pop. Whatever version of Mikey Garcia shows up; I’ll be ready for him.

 

“I believe I’m going to win, Mikey believes he’s going to win, and it will all unveil in the ring. One thing I can guarantee; זה הולך להיות קרב גדול.

 

“Every fight I’ve had has been against a tough opponent who has helped get me to this point. עכשיו, I’m ready to fight the best, and Mikey Garcia is truly that.

 

“I had to work very hard to make the transition from champion kickboxer to a champion boxer. I did everything I had to do, moving from gym to gym and sparring everyone. I always aimed for the best and wanted to be the best at what I do.”

 

רוברט GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & מאמן

 

“We know that Sergey Lipinets is a very dangerous fighter. He’s a really strong champion. I know he’s going to be hungry because he wants to become a big name by beating Mikey.

 

“Mikey is very smart in the ring. We’re going to come in there with a good game plan. We’ll have some big sparring partners. Strong, heavy guys who will give Mikey a big challenge in sparring.

 

“Mikey has to be in great shape for this fight. You can easily win the first eight rounds, but there are still four left. You have to be able to finish the fight. A great power puncher like Lipinets can finish you in one round.”

 

BUDDY MCGIRT, Lipinets’ Trainer

 

“We will be prepared for any and every thing. This way, when fight night comes, we’ll have an answer for everything. The key is that we just have to be on point from the opening bell to the end. There’s no way around it.

 

“We’re going to cover everything in training camp. You have to have every option available to you on fight night. This way, you’re never surprised in the ring. Sergey won’t go in there swinging to get a knockout, he’s going to be disciplined and focus on getting the victory.

 

“I believe that Sergey is on a mission. I know Mikey Garcia is on a mission too, and I respect that. I respect that these two men are fighting each other. Champions do what Sergey is doing, and that’s fighting the best.”

 

ריצ'רד שייפר, יוֹשֵׁב רֹאשׁ & מנכ"ל ספורט Ringstar

 

“This is going to be a huge night for the 140-pound division. It will be another toe-to-toe showdown at the Alamodome in San Antonio, where so many great matchups have taken place before. כרטיסים להתחיל רק $20 so we expect another great crowd of fight fans down in Texas.

 

“This matchup features two undefeated fighters, two big punchers and 50 נצחונות, 40 בנוקאאוט, between the two of them. These guys are both champions who are daring to be great. These are exactly the kind of fighters that the public likes. These fighters will push themselves to be great.

 

“These guys only know one thing, and that is winning. Sergey Lipinets is the biggest puncher at 140-pounds and it seems like Mikey Garcia always seeks out these big punchers.

 

“Mikey is looking to do something that only Manny Paccquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have done, in moving up from 126 pounds through 140 pounds winning titles at each division. It is very difficult to carry that power up from featherweight. You have to tune-in to see an exciting fighter like that trying to make history.”

 

סטפן אספינוזה, סגן נשיא בכיר & מנהל כללי, ספורט ואוטיים

 

“What boxing needs are great fights. Good, high quality matchups like Leo Santa Cruz vs. קרל פרמפטון, Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia and Errol Spence vs. קאל ברוק. There needs consistently be good fights, and that’s what we have been doing at SHOWTIME for the last couple of years. No other network has done the quality of fights that SHOWTIME is doing. No other network is as committed to the sport as SHOWTIME has been.

 

“The best need to fight the best, and that is what Mikey Garcia has done. He came off of a two-and-a-half-year layoff and ב 18 חודשים he’s had four fights, two title fights and will be going for a title in a fourth weight class, something only Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have done before. That’s what great fighters do.

 

“Historically the fighters who separate themselves as legendary, are the ones who challenge themselves and travel across weight classes to seek these challenges. But there are two sides to this story. Those who have been paying attention have seen Sergey Lipinets make a lot of noise on SHOWTIME cards lately. He has risen very quickly.

 

“If you just look at Lipinets’ record, 13-0, and think about him fighting Mikey Garcia it would sound crazy. But if you look at the kind of competition he’s faced, his last seven opponents have a combined record of 163-15. That’s not something you usually see 13 fights into a career. Lipinets is a combat veteran, and whatever happens in the ring, he will be ready for it. It’s going to make for an exciting night.”

The unbeaten Lipinets (13-0, 10 קוס) captured a super lightweight world title in just his 13ה pro fight by defeating Akihiro Kondo via a unanimous decision on נובמבר 4 על ההצגה מתחילה. הוא במקור קזחסטן אבל עבר לרוסיה כשהיה בן שש. כיום הוא חי בבוורלי הילס, קליפורניה, Lipinets והוא מאומן על ידי באדי McGirt.
The-בת 28 עברה למעלה בדירוג 140 פאונד עם ניצחונות על כך ללא הפסד האסקל רודוס, לוואן Ghvamichava וולטר קסטילו לפני לדפוק את לאונרדו Zappavigna בתוך Eliminator באליפות העולם בדצמבר האחרון. Lipinets will look to stamp his place as an elite fighter when he takes on the accomplished and dangerous Garcia on פבואר 10.
“Getting the title is one thing, but keeping the title is a more difficult task,” סעיד Lipinets. “I’m not about to give it away to anybody. No disrespect to Mikey Garcia or anybody else out there, but I’m keeping my title. Beating Mikey Garcia will put me in the elite of boxing where I believe I belong. I’m happy my team was able to put this great fight together. I can promise you this won’t be a snoozer. It’s going to be an action-packed fight for sure.”
“We’re going to call it’ ‘Undefeated.’ That pretty much sums it up. Two undefeated fighters, champion versus champion,” אמר ריצ'רד שייפר, יוֹשֵׁב רֹאשׁ & מנכ"ל ספורט Ringstar. “It’s a big challenge for Mikey Garcia to win a championship belt in his fourth weight class. Lipinets never backs down and he’s out to show that’s he one of the biggest punchers in the division. A win for Lipinets is a game-changer for his family and his career. A win for Mikey is another feather in his cap and will help him be recognized as pound-for-pound best in the world. I’m happy to be back in San Antonio at the Alamodome. I’ve promoted some big fights there. San Antonio fight fans are in for a real treat seeing two of the best fighting each other. I’m sure the fans will embrace this fight.”
“We have another intriguing matchup of two young, hungry undefeated fighters who lay it on the line every time they step into the ring,” אמר טום בראון, נשיא מבצעי TGB. “As talented as Mikey is, you can’t count Lipinets out. He’s one of the hardest hitters in the 140-pound division. He’s a tough competitor and there’s a reason why he’s a world champion. He knows this is a career-defining fight and he’s going to do everything he can to spoil the party for Garcia in San Antonio on Feb. 10.”
“In three consecutive fights on SHOWTIME since his return to the sport, Mikey Garcia has solidified his position on boxing’s pound-for-pound lists,” אמרה סטיבן אספינוזה, סגן נשיא בכיר ומנהל כללי, ספורט ואוטיים. “Mikey has proven he’s willing to take on the most avoided opponents in any division as he seeks out the biggest possible matchups in the sport. He’ll face yet another dangerous opponent in Sergey Lipinets, an undefeated champion in his own right, as he seeks to become a four-division world champion. On the heels of Errol Spence vs. Lamont Peterson on ינואר 20, a matchup of consensus top-10 welterweights, we’re proud to deliver this main event of top-5 ranked fighters to build on the momentum.”
ברתלמי (26-0, 13 קוס), who was born in Arroyo Naranjo, Cuba and now lives in Las Vegas, has won world titles at 130 ו 135 קילו. He defeated Relikh by unanimous decision in his debut at 140 pound in his last fight on מאי 20. If he defeats Relikh again, he will become the first Cuban boxer to win world championships in three different weight classes. He defeated Argenis Mendez by unanimous decision to win the 130-pound world title in 2014 and a year later scored a unanimous decision over Denis Shafikov for the 135-pound world title. ברתלמי, 31, has two brothers, Yan and Leduan, who are professional boxers who he trains alongside with under the tutelage of Ismael Salas.
Relikh (21-2, 19 קוס) believes that he won the first match with Barthelemy and that the scorecards did not reflect the competitive nature of the fight. The 28-year-old nearly had Barthelemy out after landing a barrage of punches that penned Barthelemy on the ropes, but he was only awarded a knockdown. בסיבוב השמיני, Barthelemy came back to drop Relikh with a body shot. Shortly after the מאי 20 title eliminator, the WBA ordered a rematch, this time to be contested for the vacant 140-pound title. This will be Relikh’s second world title shot after the fighter from Minsk, Belarus lost a unanimous decision to Ricky Burns in Glasgow, Scotland on Oct. 7, 2016.

National Harbor (מאי 20) – From the MGM National Harbor “אדון.” גארי ראסל ג'וניור, (28-1, 17 קוס) 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 אוסקר Escandon (25-3, 17 קוס) באירוע המרכזי של אליפות אגרוף Showtime.
ראסל ג 'וניור. took control of the action from the outset, peppering the shorter Escandon at will and dropping him in the third.
עם זאת, 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 (לחץ כאן to watch the TKO).
About the victory, ראסל ג 'וניור. אמר, “קודם כל, 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. תודה לך.
“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 [הבא], 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, לי סלבי, 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. אני 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 did – come 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, אבן צור, Michigan’s אנדרה Dirrell, (26-2, 16 קוס), was declared the winner after round eight as ז'וזה Uzcategui, (26-2, 22 קוס) של מרידה, ונצואלה, 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
גם.
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 ברתלמי (26-0, 13 קוס) winning a 12-round unanimous decision over valiant קיריל Relikh, (25-3, 16 קוס), of Baranovichi, Byelorussia. Scores in the WBA Super Lightweight eliminator were 116-110, 115-111 ו 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, עם זאת, 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.
עם זאת, 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 גארי ראסל אנטוניו השתפר ל 8-0 with six knockouts with a dominating performance and knockout stoppage of Puerto Rico’s Jovany Fuentes, (7-9, 6 קוס). Following knockdowns in the second and third stanzas, the bout was called to a halt at 0:22 סיבוב שלושה.
Making his pro debut, סופר קל גארי אנטואן ראסל, (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 דייוויס 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 קוס) set the pace from the opening bell, connecting seemingly at will with a strong left hook. בסיבוב השלישי, 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 christened “the future of boxing.”
וולש (21-1, 14 קוס), 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.”

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

ביום שבת at the sold-out Copper Box Arena in London, the 22-year-old “Tank” Davis (17-0, 16 קוס) 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 קוס) 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 (אנגליה), Robin Taylor (ארצות הברית) and Deon Dwarte (דרום אפריקה).

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 דקות מאוחר יותר.

"אני מרגיש טוב,” Davis said. “I’m ready.”

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

"מחר 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.”

דייוויס vs. Walsh is part of a split-site, four-fight SHOWTME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins on יום שבת, מאי 20, ב 6 p.m. ו/3 p.m. PT. באירוע המרכזי, גארי ראסל ג'וניור. 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.

ראסל ג 'וניור. was joined by his brothers, 2016 מתגורר בארה"ב. אולימפי גארי אנטואן ראסל וסיכוי ללא הפסד גארי ראסל אנטוניו, as the trio of brothers look to pick up a hat trick of victories in their hometown יום שבת night and on the birthday of their father and trainer, גארי ראסל Sr.
הנה מה שהיו לי המשתתפים לומר יום חמישי from MGM National Harbor:
גארי ראסל ג'וניור.
“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.
“אני 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 ביום שבת. It’s up to me to counteract what he does.
“אני אוהב את הספורט הזה. אני אוהב את מה שאני עושה. 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 יום שבת לילה. 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 יום שבת 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 מאי 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.”
חוזה UZCATEGUI
“You won’t want to miss any of these fights ביום שבת לילה. 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 יום שבת לילה, 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 ביום שבת.”
RANCES רתלמי
“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.
“אל תחמיץ את הקרב ביום שבת לילה. 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 ביום שבת.
“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 ביום שבת הלילה.”
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.
“אני מרגיש ממש טוב. 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, זה הכל.
“I hope everyone is ready for יום שבת לילה. There were some mishaps at the Olympics. Life is going to throw you bumps to get over, וזה מה שאני הולך לעשות. Everyone better keep their eyes open יום שבת, because it might be quick.”
GARY אנטוניו 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.”
SR גארי ראסל., 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.”
ראובן גררו, Escandon’s Trainer
“We’re ready over here. We’re going to do what it takes. אנחנו יודעים מה אנחנו צריכים להילחם. He’s one of the best. We’ll prove who is the best ביום שבת. 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.
“אנחנו באים לנצח. 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.”

לונדון (מאי 18, 2017) – IBF Junior Lightweight World Champion Gervonta Davis, לא בלתי מנוצח. 1 contender Liam Walsh and promoter Floyd Mayweather got into a jarring session during יום חמישי final press conference at Landmark Hotel in London just two days before יום שבת world title clash on SHOWTIME from Copper Box Arena.

 

Baltimore’s “Tank” Davis, America’s youngest world champion, will attempt to become the first American to successfully defend his title on British soil in nearly a decade*, while Walsh (21-0, 14 קוס) aims to dethrone the man that Mayweather has christened the “future of boxing.” (*הערה: Paulie Malignaggi vs. Lovemore Ndou in 2008)

 

דייוויס vs. Walsh is part of a split-site, four-fight SHOWTME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins on Saturday, מאי 20, ב 6 p.m. ו/3 p.m. PT. באירוע המרכזי, גארי ראסל ג'וניור. 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.

 

The 22-year-old Davis, who has won by knockout in 16 שלו 17 קרבות מקצועיים, will make the first defense of the IBF belt to won via KO over previously unbeaten Jose Pedraza in January. The 30-year-old Walsh has won by knockout in three of his last four bouts and will be a decided local favorite at an expected sold-out Copper Box Arena.

 

The pound-for-pound great turned promoter Mayweather and Walsh’s two brothers, fellow professional fighters Michael and Ryan, led the jarring during יום חמישי festivities with Mayweather claiming “I’m 40 years old and I’ll kick all three of your asses in the same night.”

 

Team Walsh was “not intimidated one little bit” by Mayweather or Tank, while the southpaw Davis promised “ביום שבת night you’ll be on your ass. And then your brothers can get in next.”

 

Below are highlights of what the participants had to say ביום חמישי:

 

GERVONTA DAVIS:

“I’m just on a whole different level. I do know they built you good, but you’ve been dropped before. They’ve been protecting you from the power, so I know you have no chin. ביום שבתnight you’ll be on your ass. And then your brothers can get in next.

 

“Please don’t run יום שבת לילה.

 

“I’ve just been trying to stay level-headed. Getting that belt brings me that much closer to what I want to do – to take over the sport of boxing. With the performance I put ביום שבת night it will bring me a step closer to being the star of boxing and follow after Floyd Mayweather.

 

“Having Floyd in my corner gives me a lot of confidence. Floyd has been pretty hands on with me, he’s been getting up and training and running with me. He was my hero in the sport of boxing coming up so to just have him in my corner now is amazing.

 

“I won the belt and now my focus is to take over the sport.

 

“Growing up in Baltimore, it has a high crime rate. It’s been tough. Where I’m from the gym is in the hood. If it wasn’t for the gym I’d either be in jail or dead. That’s not what I want to be. Boxing saved my life.”

 

LIAM WALSH:

“I’m always confident. As I’ve said many times, his performance against Pedraza was very good. I applaud him. Tank is the best fighter I’ve come up against in my career so far, but I’m also the best fighter he’s going to come against in his career so far. So it makes for a great fight.

 

“He’s physically very good. He’s very fast, very powerful. He’s a good puncher and performed beyond his years against Pedraza. You can’t knock his performance whatsoever, but there’s still a lot of questions that he has to answer.

 

“The southpaw stance doesn’t affect me too much. I can switch between the two. I’m comfortable in both stances so that doesn’t bother me.

 

“I don’t think I can put it into words what it would mean to win the title. It’s been a dream of mine since I was a little child. The feeling, the emotion, I can’t put it into words. This is the biggest night of my life.

 

“There are definitely flaws in his game and they’re there for me to exploit. I plan to take advantage of his mistakes. כשהייתי 22, there were definitely mistakes I made that I wouldn’t make now. So maybe it’s the perfect time to fight him.

 

“I’m not intimidated one little bit. Not by Floyd, not by Tank, not by anyone.

 

“I predict I will win the fight. I wouldn’t be shocked if I won by knockout, I wouldn’t be shocked if I won on points. You won’t see me celebrating like a mad man if I knock out Tank because I know I’m capable of it.”

 

פלויד Mayweather:

“It’s not just one performance. It takes more than just one performance. We truly believe that he can be a great fighter, but he came in his last fight with only 16 fights and beat the champion. We know he’s not going to lay down. This kid has dynamite in both hands. If he keeps going out there beating great fighters he cannot be denied.

 

“When its lights, מצלמה, action and the bell rings, 17 times he came out victorious and 16 בדרך של (נוקאאוט).

 

“His team does a remarkable job, but it’s my job as a friend and a father figure to tell him to come to Vegas to get him the best work. We wanted him to have different looks. We want guys that were going to push him, give him different styles.

 

“This kid, he busts his ass day in and day out. We’re going to continue to go out there and do what we do.

 

“I already conquered your country once (with Ricky Hatton) and now we’re going to conquer it again ביום שבת.

 

“I don’t miss being in the gym at all. If I can push this fighter to surpass me and break every record, that’s a goal of mine. That’s what we’re here to do. רשומות עשויים להיות שבור.

 

“I remember when I met Tank on the Canelo (אלוורז) press tour and he asked to take a photo with me. When I took a photo with him I said, ‘there’s something about that kid that looks special.’

 

“He came to my gym and put in some real good work and I reached out to him and said, ‘whatever it takes to work with you and get you to the next level, let’s make it happen.’ I told him, ‘if you listen to me and continue to work hard I truly believe you can be world champion within 24 חודשים.’ And that’s just one stepping stone. As of right now he’s one of the only fighters in boxing facing back-to-back undefeated fighters.

 

“Frank Warren, ליאם וולש, we just want to commend you guys for stepping up to the plate and making this fight happen and giving the fans what they want to see. The fans want to see blood, יזע ודמעות.

 

“Tank is always in tremendous fights, he’s a big knockout artist. I truly believe in my man, and I want to work with him until the end of his career.”
