LAS VEGAS (Enero 17, 2017) – Undefeated featherweight world champion Carl Frampton hosted media at his training camp in Las Vegas Tuesday ahead of his highly anticipated rematch with former three-division world champion Leo Santa Cruz saSabado, Enero 28 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena and live on SHOWTIME.
Televised coverage magsugod sa 10 sa gabii. UG/7 sa gabii. PT with undefeated lightweight world champion Dejan Zlaticanin battling former two-division world champion Mikey Garcia.
Frampton was joined by undefeated prospect Josh Taylor; who’s 10-round super lightweight contest is set to be featured as part of bonus coverage on SHOWTIME EXTREME at 8 sa gabii. UG/PT.
Here is what the participants had to say Tuesday from Porter Hy-Performance Center in Las Vegas:
CARL FRAMPTON
“This camp has been even better than the last one. I had a few problems with my hand during the last training camp but this camp has been brilliant. I’ve been able to put a lot of effort into every session.
“I’m hungry to prove that this wasn’t a fluke. I see some people talking on the internet that I got lucky last time or that Leo would have won with his father in camp the whole time. But I believe there is a lot more to come for me. I’ve been performing better this camp than ever before. I think I win this fight more convincingly.
“I think Leo is a confidence fighter. I think his pride has made him go straight back to the deep end again. He’s always been bigger than his opponents. At both bantamweight and super bantamweight he was bigger. Even though Leo is taller than me, I’m the bigger man. On fight night I’ll be heavier and stronger than him. He’s been able to bully opponents and wear them out, but he can’t do that to me. I think he’s making a big mistake jumping right back in.
“I got drawn in to Leo’s type of fight last time, which made it very exciting. Because of our styles, it’s always going to be a good fight. If it’s two wins to nil for me, I’d rather move on and fight someone like Lee Selby. I just want to be involved in big fights.
“Tin-aw nga, being from where I’m from, fighting in New York was a major appeal, and a lot of guys on the East Coast are attracted to an Irish fighter they haven’t seen before. So I got a lot of new support from the East Coast. We brought a lot of people across with us, ingon man. But now, to be fighting, topping the bill at the MGM in the fight capital of the world, it’s something I never really thought about when I was a kid or when I turned professional. I never really believed I could get to this. But it’s here, and I’m hoping that it can continue for a long time.
“We’re staying at Robert Guerrero’s training camp house, which is a big thing for me in itself. We drove past the MGM Grand and saw my face on the side. That was pretty surreal in itself. I just can’t wait to soak it up.
“This was a big fight enough in New York, now I think it’s going to be like New York on steroids. I can’t wait to soak up the atmosphere on fight week, can’t wait for all of my fans to get here, I think it’s going to be a real carnival atmosphere and people are going to enjoy it.”
“Fighting Leo Santa Cruz in the United States, a 3-weight world champion who a lot of people thought was going to beat me and beat me comfortably, that was a big deal. That was the real turning point of my career. And I think there’s more to come. Ako 30 sa Pebrero, but I don’t feel any signs of slowing up.
“I genuinely feel like I’m getting better and I think Leo’s going to be in for a tough night here. If I can do what I’ve been doing here in the gym, perform like I’ve been performing in sparring, I’m hurting sparring partners, knocking sparring partners out. I feel like I’m developing, developing into a proper featherweight and I feel like he’s going to be in for a tough night.
“We’ve got a chef in the house that we’re staying at, cooking and preparing our food. We’re training at Shawn Porter’s gym here. It’s a great facility and they’re looking after us, Shawn and (Kenny) Pagsul-ob. It’s nothing really to deal with apart from the time difference. I reckon it takes a day for every hour of time difference.”
JOSH TAYLOR
“This is the first time I’ve been in Las Vegas and I’m definitely a little star struck by the strip and the big buildings. I’m really have a great time though and it’s a good experience.
“This is a great setup we have here at the gym and I’m getting a lot of good work here. I’ve been sparring with former world champion Shawn Porter and Cuba’s Yordenis Ugas. I couldn’t ask for better work.
“I feel very confident. I’m getting great preparation. It’s not every day you get to spar with guys like this, especially with only seven fights under my belt. I’m feeling really good.”
Shane MCGUIGAN, Frampton and Taylor’s Trainer
“Training camp has been going really great. Santa Cruz feels like he didn’t have his best performance last time but I don’t think Carl was at his best either. I think we’ll see the same victory this time.
“Carl’s confidence is through the roof. He never lacks in that department. He always rises to the occasion. He performs his best when he’s out there in front of a huge crowd. Leo Santa Cruz is going to bring out the best of Carl Frampton.
“Fighting in Las Vegas is amazing. This is what Carl has been dreaming about since he was a kid. I’ve been dreaming about it too. My father was an amazing fighter but this is a new era of massive crowds coming across the globe. It all starts on Enero 28 and it’s going to be a great time.”
Barry MCGUIGAN, Frampton ni Manager, Former World Champion and Hall of Famer
“It was definitely Carl’s toughest fight but I think Carl is still getting better. I think Carl will win even more convincingly this time, but it’s going to be a great fight every time they meet because of the clash of styles.
“Carl has knocked out at least two of his sparring partners in preparation for this. He’s looking very strong and he’s working very hard.
“Santa Cruz is talking about using his range, but I think that’s all smokescreens. Once that bell rings he’s going to come straight at Carl and we’ll be in for another great fight.
“We had the option to squeeze in a mandatory defense before the end of last year. But we thought it was best to rest and get this big fight in by the end of January.”

Here is what the participants had to say Tuesday:
LEO SANTA CRUZ
“My dad is my trainer full-time. He’s always been the one who knows how to point out and correct the mistakes I make in training. I think having him full-time will be a big difference. He will push me more.
“I think I have to land more clean punches this time. I’m going to work the body more and break him down. I’m going to sit on my punches a lot better. I couldn’t land my punches clearly and with enough power.
“I’m excited because Las Vegas is like my second hometown. I’ve fought there throughout my career. They give me great support. I know that when I’m tired and hear them scream, it will give me the energy to go the distance.
“I don’t think I had trouble adjusting to fighting on the East Coast. But there aren’t as many Mexican fans over there; so hopefully I will have some more support this time. None of that really matters once we get into the ring though. It’s just me and Carl in there.
“I have the loss in my head. I don’t just want to do it for myself. I want to do it for everyone who has doubted me. Once I prove them wrong and win this fight, then I’ll be proud of myself.
“I’m going to fight like this is for my first world title. I’m going up there as a nobody and I’m going to go make a name for myself. I’m coming with that kind of hunger.
“I’m going to show everyone what I’ve been working on. I want to prove that I’m better than Carl Frampton. If everything works out, we’ll get the victory.
“My fans have kept me motivated and given me the hunger to go out there and reclaim my title. That’s what I want to do. I hope it’s another Fight of the Year, but this time I will get the victory.
“I feel stronger since the last fight and I’ve been preparing for everything. We’re sparring some bigger guys just to keep me prepared. We have strong, fast and heavy opponents. Carl Frampton won’t have anything we aren’t ready for.”
Mobiya sa ZLATICANIN
“If Garcia tries to go toe-to-toe or stay in the center of the ring, I will knock him out. If he tries to jab and move, then I will have to find my way to his head and break him down.
“Training sa kampo nga adto dakung. I feel very good. I can’t wait to get in the ring and perform. I’m proud to be on a show like this against a star like Mikey Garcia.
“It is a big deal to be the first boxing champion from Montenegro. I’ve lived the dream that I’ve had since I was a child and first stepped into a boxing gym.
“I’m not worried about Garcia’s layoff. That is something he has to worry about. I just have to focus on Enero 28. I believe that I will be victorious.
“All of the fans are going to enjoy this fight and they will see me successfully defend my world title.
“I feel great training out here in Los Angeles. It’s totally different from in Europe and this style of working and training has really helped me.
“I change my style for every fighter. Each fighter is totally different and you can’t fight any two guys the same way. You have to adjust.
“A champion needs to fight everyone. That’s what I believe. There are some champions right now who do not want to face me.
“Mikey Garcia is already talking about fights with Manny Pacquiao and Vasyl Lomachenko, but he hasn’t gotten past me. He has a big test in the ring and I am going to stop him.
“I am very motivated by Garcia talking about future fights. I will show everybody that the talk means nothing. They will see everything in the ring.”
Mikey Garcia
“I’m picking up right where I left off. My second fight back and I get to fight against an undefeated world champion. The quality of Zlaticanin means a lot more to me than picking up a world title. I’m super motivated for this win and to make this a great year.
“Kini mao ang usa ka dako nga oportunidad alang kanako. It’s a very dangerous fight. That’s why I took it. These are the kind of challenges that I want. I’m ready to prove to everybody that I’m back right where I belong.
“I’m not overlooking Zlaticanin, but everybody else seems to be. People ask me about what I’d want for future fights, but I know how dangerous this guy is. Anything could happen. But I know that I have what it takes to beat him. Siya adunay gahum sa, but I also have power. The best man is going to win that night.
“Becoming an undefeated world champion like my opponent doesn’t come easy. It happens for a reason. He may be not as known to the casual fan, but anybody can tell you how dangerous he is. Some people think it’s a little too much for me right now. But I’m ready to prove everybody wrong and take on this challenge.
“I have to prepare for anything. I’m not there to dictate pace or anything, I’m there to make sure I win at all costs. I’m ready to fight any style and beat Dejan on Enero 28. This is a great way to get back in the position I want to be in.
“I expect him to come in and try to knock my head off. He’s a power puncher and that’s what he does. If he wants to pressure me, I’ll be ready for that.
“I never felt like I left. I was inactive from fighting but I never stopped training. The intensity is fully picked up right now. This is my job and this is what I need to do to win this fight.
“I’m ready to turn up the notch and focus in on having a great training camp. I have a great team and we’ve had quality sparring. It’s been a fantastic camp.
“You have all of the elements here for a great fight. My opponent is hungry, he’s ready and undefeated. I’m more motivated than ever. So you know it’s going to be a great fight.”
RICHARD Schaefer, Chairman & CEO sa Ringstar Sports
“The first fight between Santa Cruz and Frampton was, sa akong opinyon, the Fight of the Year. We have two other world title fights on this card and top to bottom it’s one of the best cards I can remember. I’m going to make sure I’m in my seat early.
“Mikey Garcia has the potential to become the biggest superstar in the sport. He has a great personality and can really fight. All the ingredients are there. Here he has a very tough fight though. Zlaticanin is the ‘King Kong’ sa Montenegro. He’s a dangerous puncher and it’s going to be a great fight.
“It’s a great card but if I had to pick one fight to steal the show, it would Zlaticanin vs. Garcia. That is going to be a spectacular knockout, one way or the other.
“The main event is as good as it gets. It’s going to pick up in round 13. Leo knows that he has to make adjustments. He knows he wasn’t at his best the first time. He was out of his comfort zone and had distractions. If Leo is properly prepared physically and mentally, then he should come out victorious.
“Leo knew as soon as the results were read that he wanted the rematch. That’s the kind of mindset he has. He knows that he’s a better fighter than he showed in July. He knows what he needs to do.
“By becoming Fighter of the Year, and everything that comes with it, Frampton is flying high. This is a guy who is now a pound-for-pound great fighter. He worked all his life for that spot and he doesn’t want to give it up. For the UK fighters, fighting in Las Vegas is the pinnacle of the sport. I think there will be a lot of Irish people there and I just can’t wait for the first bell to ring.”
JOSE Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz sa Amahan & Trainer
“Gibati nako ang tinuod nga maayo. My cancer is dormant right now and I feel like I’m recuperating and getting back to my normal self. I’m making sure that everything is fine and I’m doing well with the doctors. Right now everything on the health forefront is good.
“I am happy to be part of Leo’s training camp again. I think that was the major difference in his last fight. I’m back pressuring him again and making sure he keeps the pressure on his opponent. I think my presence in the gym reminds him of the work he needs to do.
“Leo wasn’t defending the way that he should have in the last fight, he kept throwing punches without blocking. He was throwing sluggish, slow punches. I’m getting him back on point and making sure that he doesn’t let up.”
Robert Garcia, Garcia’s Brother & Trainer
“Dejan Zlaticanin is a very strong fighter, not only physically, but mentally. We’re training like never before. We’ve been training hard for two months and preparing for a really tough fight. This fight is a big fight and it brings even bigger ones after.
“Mikey wants these big challenges. Zlaticanin is a polished champion with tremendous power. The challenge is ahead of him. There are so many big names at lightweight and other weight classes. His goals are to get there, and it starts with this fight.
“It’s been a few years since Mikey’s last fight in Las Vegas so it’s really exciting to be on the card headlined by Frampton-Santa Cruz 2. We know it’s going to be a huge crowd and they’ll be supporting Mikey. More, with all the Frampton fans that will be there, we know that it’s going to be an incredible atmosphere. Mikey knows this is the beginning of huge things. After this, Mikey will be the one headlining.”

Pagbungkag sa UFC 207 Main Card: Pagpaniid ug Mga Panagna

Leave sa usa ka comment

 

Pinaagi sa: Rich Bergeron

UFC 207 nagtimaan sa dugay na nga gipaabut nga pagbalik sa “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey (12-1) sa usa ka Octagon nga siya kaniadto naghari ingon bantamweight champion. Ang titulo nga gikuha gikan sa Rousey sa dramatiko nga dagway ni Holly Holm karon naa sa palibot sa may kaarang nga hawak ni Amanda Nunes (13-4). Adunay higayon si Rousey nga gision kini ug ibalik kini sa iyang kaugalingon nga hips kaniadtong Disyembre 30th.

Kapin sa usa ka tuig nga wala’y sulod si Rousey, ug nakumpirma na siya dili pa dugay nga ang iyang karera sa nagkasagol nga martial arts hapit na matapos. Bata pa si Nunes, gigutom ug nakapahadlok ingon underdog (+150) nagtan-aw sa paghawid sa iyang bakus batok sa maalamat nga Judoka ug MMA juggernaut. Si Rousey moabut ingon ang paborito sa -185.

Alang sa dugang nga mga paglaum ug pagbisita sa kasayuran sa pagbisita 12BET.

Adunay labi pa nga mga pangutana kaysa mga tubag nga moadto sa kini nga panghitabo sa blockbuster. Mapakyas ba si Rousey sa kalabog sa ring ug makabalik sa himaya? Usa na siya ka lakang padulong sa pagretiro? Mahimo ba nga pahilumon ni Nunes ang iyang mga nagduha-duha ug magpadayon sa pagdaot sa panulundon sa una nga bantog nga kampeon sa bantogweight nga UFC? Bisan unsa ang mahitabo, ang una nga hugna mahimong hinungdanon. Parehong mga babaye mangita nga himuon kini nga usa ka dali nga gabii.

Tagna: Si Rousey mobalik uban ang usa ka panimalos ug nagpakita labi nga gipauswag ang paghampak ug paglaban sa sipa. Ang mga bug-at nga away sa Nunes ug nagrepresentar sa labing maayo nga gitanyag sa Brazil, apan daghan ang napilde ni Ronda. Tingali siya wala’y hingpit nga rekord aron maproteksyonan na usab, apan siya adunay usa ka hingpit nga hinungdan aron makadaog kini nga away. Kinahanglan usab niya nga ipatindog ang iyang kahimtang sa alpha aron isira ang iyang kaugalingon nga mga kritiko ug pamatud-an nga pagbalik siya aron makuha ang iyang titulo. Nagdaug si Rousey pinaagi sa knockout sayo sa ikaduha nga hugna.

Laing titulo nga bantog nga UFC naa sa linya sa co-main event. Dominic Cruz (22-1) naghatag Cody Garbrandt (10-0) usa ka liki sa bakus sa kung unsa ang mahimo nga usa ka tinuod nga slugfest. Bisan kung wala’y nawala si Cody og away ug gipukan ang siyam sa iyang napulo nga mga kaatbang sa karera sa propesyonal nga lebel, Dominic Cruz (-225) nagpadayon sa 13-fight win streak nga nagsugod kaniadtong Marso sa 2008. Garbrandt (+175) nagrepresentar sa usa ka sanglitanan “tsansa sa puncher” dinhi, bisan. Nadaog niya ang iyang katapusang tulo ka away pinaagi sa TKO o knockout. Tanan sila natapos nga pasalamatan sa kusog nga pagsunud sa kusog ni Cody.

Tagna: Ang paghunahuna nga si Cruz usa ka taktikal, manlalaban nga manlalaban, siya molambo samtang ang away mosulud ngadto sa mga lawom nga hugna. Dili makadaog si Garbrandt kung wala’y first round knockout tungod kay ang kasinatian ug hilaw nga talento nga gidala ni Cruz sa hawla talagsaon ug dinamikong. Gihimo niya ang mga pagbag-o sama sa wala’y manlalaban ug gigamit ang kalihokan sa lawas ug ulo nga daw nagpalibog sa matag kaatbang nga iyang giatubang sa miaging mga tuig. Kinahanglan modakop si Cody “Ang Dominator” aron makigsulti kaniya, ug adunay usa ra siya nga hugut aron buhaton kini. Nagdaug si Cruz sa ulahing bahin sa TKO o Unanimous Desisyon.

Usa ka bug-at nga panagsangka tali sa Fabricio Werdum (21-6-1) ug Cain Velasquez (14-2) gipakita usab sa UFC 207. Ang away usa ka rematch sa usa ka UFC 188 gubat tali sa duha ka mga goliath, nga natapos sa Werdum nga nakadaog sa kampiyonato sa kampanya pinaagi sa pagsumite sa ikatulong hugna (Nakurat ang Guillotine).

Kini nga oras sa palibot, Si Velasquez ang gipili nga manlalaban (-210) samtang si Werdum usa ka +170 mahina. Kini usa pa ka brawler vs. taktika match-up, ug mahimo usab kini nga agianan. Nagpakita si Werdum og huyang nga baba batok sa Stipe Miocic, ug pangitaon ni Cain ang matag higayon nga susihon kini.

Tagna: Gipadala ni Velasquez si Werdum sa sulod sa duha ka hugna. Ang paghagit ni Cain labaw sa Werdum, ug dili siya makahimo og sayup nga gipasagdan si Werdum nga mag-away sa kini nga oras. Velasquez ni KO.

Neil Magny (18-5) ug Johny Hendricks (17-5) moabut sa hawla alang sa UFC 207 isip duha sa labing maayong welterweights sa liga. Parehas nga nakasinati og daghang mga pagbag-o sa sport kaniadtong karon, bisan. Si Magny adunay tulo nga away win streak nga gihunong ni Lorenz Larkin sa iyang katapusang away samtang si Hendricks nawala tulo gikan sa iyang katapusang upat ka fights.. Si Hendricks usa ka layo nga pagsinggit gikan sa iyang kaugalingon nga kaugalingon ug usa ka hataas nga paagi gikan sa iyang adlaw sa kampeonato. Gipahid ni Stephen Thompson ang banig sa Hendricks nga nagpadulong sa usa ka brutal nga TKO sa wala pa mosulod si Kelvin Gastelum sa hawla gikan sa kanhi tigdaug ug gidala sa balay ang usa ka unanimous decision human sa tulo ka lisud nga away sa away.

Tagna: Si Magny ang labi ka malig-on ug dinamikong manlalaban, ug si Hendricks dili makakuha sa kadaghan aron maabut ang iyang labing maayo nga power shots. Gipugngan ni Magny si Hendricks’ kauswagan, gipanghimakak ang iyang gisakup nga takedown ug gisumite o hunongon ang kanhing champ sa wala pa ang katapusang kampana. Magny pinaagi sa third-round TKO.

Ang pag-una sa main card usa pa ka away nga naglambigit sa usa ka kanhi kampeon. T.J. Dillashaw (13-3) pakigbisog sa taga panaw John “Kamot nga Bato” Lineker (29-7) sa usa ka bantamweight fight nga mahimong umaabot nga klasiko. Naghatag usa ka kusog si Lineker, gahum ug katukma nga yano makapahingangha sa pagsaksi. Si Dillashaw naglihok sa palibot sa hawla sama sa usa ka tikang sa Ireland, dodging mga pag-atake sama sa usa ka Mexican bullfighter. Gipakita ni Lineker sa iyang katapusang pakig-uban kang John Dodson nga mahimo siya usa ka malimbungon, sa teknikal nga manlalaban usab.

Tagna: Unsa ang T.J. kulang ang kusog ni Lineker: KAHAYAG. Mahibal-an ni Lineker nga makit-an ang iyang sakup sa ikaduhang hugna ug magsugod sa pagsulod sa wala’y katarungan nga depensa ni Dillashaw. Pag-agi sa ikatulong hugna iyang madakpan ang T.J. gipaluyohan ug tapuson ang away sa mga tiil nga adunay usa ka brutal nga serye sa mga pagsuntok, kicks, mga tuhod ug siko batok sa hawla. Lineker pinaagi sa third-round TKO.

LAS VEGAS (Dec. 3, 2016) – Ashley “Bahandi” Theophane (40-7-1, 11KO ni ) nag-atubang sa Yakabu Amidu (19-9-2, 17 KO ni ) sa 10 rounds of action in the main event of Mayweather Promotions’ Sin City Showdown Biyernes sa gabii. Theophane came out focused and on cue with his game plan, he was able to deflect most of Amidu’s punches and break his opponent down. It was a steady 10 rounds of action, Theophane was able to break Amidu down with consistent jabs and body punches aiming consistently at his target, round after round. Amidu struggled to read Theophane, which ultimately led to Theophane to his 40th win, by way of unanimous decision.
“It feels great to have a career that’s lasted this long, he made it easy to stick to my game plan. I listened to my corner who guided me and kept me on track, I couldn’t be happier with the decision,” said Theophane.
“I knew he was going to be a good opponent, I didn’t perform my best,” says Amidu. “This fight should have been in my favor, but in the end the judges decided the winner.”
Leading up to the main event, was a fast-paced blow-by-blow welterweight exchange between Mayweather Promotions’ power-puncher Maurice Lee (7-1, 3 KO ni) ug Cameron Kreal (9-12-2, 1 KO). As soon as the first bell rang Krael jumped out his corner quickly putting the pressure on Lee, while Lee searched to find his groove. Krael kept delivering punches, forcing Lee to fight on the defense. By the beginning of the fifth round, Lee found an opening, landing jabs and uppercuts affecting Krael. Katapusan, Lee couldn’t seem to land enough of what normally seems like easy jabs against the quick moving and strong Cameron Krael. Human sa 6 rounds of action the judges saw the bout in favor of Krael by unanimous decision, giving Lee the first loss of his career.
“I only had one week to prepare for this fight, the results ultimately showed how much more experience and fights under my belt, I had over my opponent,” says Krael. “I broke him down round by round, he never had a chance.”
“My game plan was to box smart, I knew he had a lot of experience so I knew I had to be smart in the ring.” Lee reflects on his performance and goes on to say, “I thought the fight was a lot closer than what the judges ruled. I definitely could have thrown more punches. We both took a lot of punches in the end. This was a learning experience and I just gotta come back harder.”
The night began with a full Mayweather Promotions showcase serving back-to-back, non-stop undercard action. Newly signed lightweight amateur Rolando Romero (1-0, 1 KO)got the first win of his career in the first round, by TKO against David Courtney(1-5, 1KO) after only one minute and eleven seconds of action. Also making his Mayweather Promotions debut Oluwafemi “The Eagle” Oyeleye (1-0) got the first win of his career, by way of unanimous decision in a 4-round Jr. middleweight showdown against Brian True (1-5, 1 KO). Lightweight Andres Cortes (4-0, 2 KO ni) furthered his undefeated record against Miguel Espinoza (3-2, 1 KO) human sa 4 rounds of action. The night continued on as Latondria Jones (5-0, 2 KO ni) kept her undefeated record in tact against Selena Arellano (1-2-, 1 KO), judges ruled the 4 round Jr. middleweight bout in Jones favor by UD. Further up in the lineup was a brutal welterweight showdown giving Mayweather Promotions’ Charvis Holifield (6-2, 4 KO ni) the second loss of his career versus Samuel Santana (9-11-3, 3 KO ni) which ended in a 5th round stoppage, giving Santana the win by way of TKO.

FloBoxing.tv live streamed this evening’s undercard worldwide, as well as the three main card bouts, excluding North America.

Brock lands a right on Blanco
From the Louisiana Penitentiary, where Brock (13-3, 4 KOs) learned how to box while serving a 15-year sentence for armed robbery, to his salvation in the boxing ring. The 35-year-old boxer from New Orleans captured his second title, taking a 10-round split decision (96-94, 96-94, 93-97) from defending North American Boxing Association (Usab) USA lightweight champion Reynaldo “El Trampolin” Blanco (13-3, 7 KOs)
Brock predicted that fans would see a completely different fighter, after being trained for this fight by future Hall of Famer and 10-time world champion Roy Jones, Jr. Brock threw effective punches in bunches, aggressively fought inside against the taller Blanco, and he outworked the Dominican who suffered a cut over his left eye midway through the fight and had his right eye swell a few rounds later.
Brock (R) won his second title with a split decision victory over Blanco
“I knew he was a gritty guy who came from Puerto Rico to fight me in Las Vegas,” explained Brock, who added the NABA USA title to his growing collection that already had included the WBC US lightweight strap. “I was having fun, enjoying myself. I had to pick up stuff working with Roy and some rubbed off on me. With Roy’s help, my confidence was built up and I learned techniques, especially with my hand-and-feet coordination. I found what I learned was more effective.”
Jones was calm in Brock’s corner throughout the fight. “I’m always calm in the corner to get the best out of the fighter,” Jones noted. “To do that I need to remain calm.”
Mexican upset specialist Norberto “Demonio” Gonzalez (22-3-8, 13 KOs) did his thing in the co-feature, taking an eight-round split decision (76-75, 76-75, 74-77) from Puerto Rican junior middleweight Daniel “El Duro” Rosary (11-2, 10 KOs).
(R) Norberto Gonzalez pulled off another upset last night
Gonzalez overcame a second-round knockdown. “I didn’t come here to lose,” Gonzalez commented. “I knew we had to work hard to get a decision.”
In the television opener, red-hot junior featherweight prospect Randy “Ang Matador” Moreno (7-0, 6 KOs) nagpabilin nga walay pildeng, outclassing Daniel Perales (7-6-1, 4 KOs) from the opening bell until referee Russell Mora stopped the fight at the request of the corner in the fourth round. Using his height and reach advantage once again, the 20-year-old Moreno, nakig-away gikan sa Las Vegas, continued to show steady overall improvement in his first scheduled six-round bout.
(R) – Randy Moreno is a rising young star
“I can’t wait until I get my first title shot,” Moreno said. “Fighting at home means the world to me.”
.
Undefeated New York junior flyweight Natalie “Tuffie” Gonzalez (3-0, 1 KO) unloaded a big right-hand to register her first professional knockout as previously unbeaten Marina “Rockie” Ramirez (2-1) beat the count but referee Kenny Bayles halted the fight.
In a spirited junior featherweight fight from start to finish, Juan “Ciclon Junior” Sanchez (2-0, 1 KO) won a hard fought four-round unanimous decision over a game Javier “Suga Gikan” Cepeda (0-3).
Puerto Rican cruiserweight Kenny “El Indio” Krus (1-2-1, 1 KO) ruined the pro debut former UNLV football player Jason “The Blaze” Beauchamp, unleashing a barrage of unanswered punches for a knockout win only 1:11 ngadto sa opening round.

With Jones working his corner, Swedish middleweight Shady Gamhour (1-0, 1 KO) turned in an impress pro debut, pagpahunong David De La Cruz (0-1) sa ikatolo round.
