WEST PALM BEACH, FL. (Juli 19, 2018) – IBF prvak svijeta u lakoj kategoriji Robert Uskrs Jr. je maksimalno iskoristio svoj inauguralni trening kamp s Kevinom Cunninghamom i nastojat će donijeti isti nivo fokusa u ring kada izazove WBC svjetskog prvaka u lakoj kategoriji Mikey Garcia Subota, Juli 28 uživo na SHOWTIME iz STAPLES Centra u Los Angelesu na događaju koji su predstavili Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

„Odlučio sam da odem na Floridu zbog drugačijeg okruženja nego što sam inače trenirao,” rekao je Uskrs, rodom iz Toleda koji je trenirao u svom rodnom gradu veći dio svoje profesionalne karijere. “Trebalo je da me izvuku iz zone udobnosti. Kod kuce, Bio sam fokusiran na previše drugih stvari. Dolazak u West Palm Beach mi je omogućio da se fokusiram samo na sebe i boks.”

 

 

 

Easter je vidio šta je Cunningham učinio za svoje bliske prijatelje Adriena Bronera i Gervonta Davis, koji su obojica trenirali sa Cunninghamom do aprila 21 borbe na SHOWTIME-u u kojima se Broner borio do zabavnog remija protiv Jessieja Vargasa, a Davis osvaja drugu titulu svjetskog prvaka spektakularnim nokautom Jesusa Cuellara.

 

 

 

“Bio sam sa Adrienom Bronerom i Gervontom Davisom na svakom koraku tokom trening kampa s Kevinom Cunninghamom ranije ove godine,” rekao je Uskrs. „Sami sam se uverio da je to nešto što moram da uradim. Razgovarao sam sa svojim tatom o tome da pobegnem od ometanja i složili smo se da je ovo pravi potez.”

 

 

 

Uskrs je ušao na scenu 2016 dominantnim nokautom bivšeg šampiona Argenisa Mendeza prije nego što je kasnije te godine pobijedio Richarda Commeya u zabavnoj borbi za osvajanje pojasa lake kategorije. Uskrsove posljednje dvije odbrane, međutim, dovele su do toga da je za dlaku pobjegao pobjedama odlukom, nešto za šta neporaženi šampion veruje da neće biti faktor u julu 28.

 

 

 

“Ljudi obraćaju pažnju na moje posljednje borbe kada nisam koristio svoju visinu i doseg,” rekao je Uskrs. „Mogu to poboljšati vraćajući se na ono što sam ranije radio. Nokautirao sam ljude borbu za borbom.

 

 

 

“Ako gledate samo moje posljednje dvije borbe, ne pripisuješ mi zasluge za sve što donesem na sto. Nedavno sam se suočio sa dva teška juga, ali u julu 28 Svima ću pokazati na čemu su spavali i zašto sam svjetski prvak.”

 

 

 

27-godišnji Uskrs sada će se boriti protiv jednog od najboljih u boksu pound-za-pound u četiri divizije svjetskog prvaka Mikey Garcia. Za Uskrs, ovo je borba koju je imao na umu i koja ga može staviti u sam vrh sporta.

 

 

 

“Oduvijek sam želio da se borim protiv najboljih u svojoj težinskoj kategoriji i sada imam priliku da se ujedinim,” rekao je Uskrs. “Znam da će se Mikey boriti protiv svoje borbe i pokušati da se suprotstavi. Želi čekati da pogriješite kako bi mogao iskoristiti prednost.

 

 

 

„Ono što moram da uradim je da uđem tamo i nametnem mu svoje atribute. Moja visina i doseg su moje prednosti, ali i moju brzinu i snagu. Samo moram sve to iskombinirati i fokusirati se na rad nogu.”

 

 

 

Iako će se Uskrs boriti u Garsijinom rodnom gradu Los Anđelesu, nema planova da dozvoli da partizanska publika utiče na njegov fokus dok svoju najveću profesionalnu pobedu traži u istoj zgradi u kojoj je debitovao.

 

 

 

“Nije mi važno gdje ćemo se boriti,” rekao je Uskrs. “Niko od navijača mu ne može pomoći da se bori. Radi se samo o meni i njemu u tom ringu zajedno.

 

 

 

“Moja prva profesionalna borba bila je u STAPLES Centru i iako je bila rano u undercardu, I dalje sam se osjećao kao da postoje 10,000 fanovi me posmatraju. Upravo sam se borio. Sve je u tome da ostanete fokusirani. 28. jula neće biti izgovora.”

Četvrti (21-0, 13 KOs) napravio je skok iz kampanje sa 130 funti u superlaku kategoriju u decembru 2016 i ostao je zauzet dok je nokautirao sve teže protivnike kako se bliži borbi za titulu svjetskog prvaka.

 

 

 

Evo šta je 23-godišnji Barrios rekao o svom julu 28 utakmica i još mnogo toga iz trening kampa u sjevernoj Kaliforniji sa Virgil Hunterom:

 

O njegovoj borbi protiv Jose Romana:

“Roman je veoma opasan borac sa dobrim dosijeom. On je visok borac poput mene, tako da će to biti drugačiji izazov za mene.

 

 

 

“Nema sumnje da će mi biti najteži protivnik do sada. Ovo su vrste teških borbi koje mi trebaju da dobijem i ubedljivo pobedim da bih došao do nivoa šampionata. Idem tamo na misiju u julu 28 i ja ću dokazati da sam spreman za titulu.

 

 

 

“Znam da je motivisan da krene u ovu borbu jer će se boriti u blizini svog rodnog grada. Samo ću se držati svog plana igre i fokusirati se na ono što moram da uradim, a to su jaki udarci sa preciznom preciznošću.”

 

U njegovom trenutnom nizu nokautiranja:

“Otkako sam prešao na super-lake, moje tijelo se prilagodilo debljanju, i osećam se jače nego ikada. Još uvijek rastem u svoju mušku snagu, a raste i moja moć. Nikad ne ulazim u borbu tražeći nokaut, ali ako povrijedim protivnika, Obećavam da ću pokušati da ga izvedem.”

 

U svom trening kampu za ovaj meč:

“Imao sam ogroman trening kamp. Prvih nekoliko nedelja trenirao sam u San Antoniju u South Park Boxing Gymu sa svojim tatom i Rickom Nunezom koji su postavljali temelje za ono što smo želeli da postignemo.

 

 

 

“Onda sam to završio u sjevernoj Kaliforniji sa Virgil Hunterom, ko će voditi moj kutak. Svi zajedno činimo fantastičan tim. Imao sam ogroman sparing za ovu borbu, moje zdravlje je dobro i spreman sam za polazak.”

 

Na svom debiju u SHOWTIME:

“Zaista sam uzbuđen što ću debitovati na SHOWTIME-u na ovoj kartici. Oduvijek sam znao da ću se boriti na velikoj sceni u nekom trenutku svoje karijere. Sada je vrijeme da pokažem svijetu od čega sam napravljen. Veoma sam zahvalan svom timu što mi je pružio ovu priliku.”

Here is what Garcia, his brother and trainer Robert Garcia and Ringstar Sports Chairman and CEO Richard Schaefer had to say ahead of Garcia’s first title unification fight:

 

MIKEY GARCIA

 

 

 

“It’s been seven years since I last had the chance to fight here in LA, and that was even before I was champion. Now after all of my accomplishments, I get to come home and put on a unification match for my local fans.

 

 

 

“Every time I walk into the ring, there’s a moment where I get butterflies and feel the emotions from the fans. This time it’s with my hometown fans and that’s really special. I’m really looking forward to it because I know the fans are going to show up and show their love and support.

 

 

 

“I think I’m in my prime right now. I’m in the best shape physically and mentally that I’ve ever been in. I need to take advantage of the moment right now and take on the biggest challenges. I want to give the fans fights to remember. Those are the fights that excite me the most.

 

 

 

“I know Easter is very tall and has a longer reach than me. U teretani, we’ve been working on sparring partners who present different challenges and made adjustments from there. I have to catch him reaching in or put pressure and work my way inside. There are different things that I’m capable of doing.

 

 

 

“I’m pretty experienced from fighting taller guys in the past, so I don’t think it’s going to make too huge a difference. It’s a disadvantage on paper, but once fight night comes, Ja ću biti spreman.

 

 

 

“This is a big fight for me and I’m sure it’s the biggest fight of Easter’s career so far. I’m glad to hear he’s training extra hard. It shows me that he’s motivated and hungry to show off his very best, baš kao i ja sam.

 

 

 

“This is my natural weight and so far everything in camp has been smooth. The weight started coming off right away and now just restricting the diet enough so we get to where we want to be.”

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Trener

 

 

 

“We know that Robert Easter is training like never before to be ready for this fight against Mikey. He has a huge reach advantage, so we know he’s going to come in and use that. He has a new trainer [Kevin Cunningham] who is going to try make us box with him.

 

 

 

“We don’t listen at any criticism of Easter for having close decisions in his last couple of fights. We know that Easter is going to come in having trained like never before. It’s going to be the best Robert Easter Jr. possible on fight night.

 

 

 

“Mikey fighting at home in front of his hometown fans is huge for us. We know that there’s extra pressure that comes with it, but everything we’ve done together so far in his career has prepared him for it. I’m confident it’s going to bring out the best in him.”

 

 

 

“We have to use our experience advantage. Mikey has fought the better competition, but Easter is a young guy who wants to take Mikey’s spot. Mikey is very smart, so he’s going to look for the right punch to do damage.”

 

RICHARD SCHÄFER, Predsjednik & CEO Ringstar sporta

 

 

 

“Mikey Garcia has the opportunity to dominate at 135 i 140 kilograma, plus he even wants to move up in weight and challenge himself against the best at 147-pounds. It shows the character and strength of Mikey Garcia. No challenge is too big for him.

 

 

 

“Whenever Mikey Garcia fights, it is must-see TV. He’s as good as it gets in the sport. This challenge against Robert Easter Jr. is the kind of fight that can turn you into a boxing fan. This is going to be a barnburner. They say that styles make fights and these two styles are made for each other.

 

 

 

“There was always somebody who carried the sport of boxing who was in Los Angeles, but right now there isn’t. Mikey is coming to fill that void. To have Mikey back at STAPLES Center is a perfect pairing of fighter and arena. STAPLES Center tends to bring out the best in fighters and that’s sure to happen again on July 28.”

Televizija SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING u tri borbe (10 poslije podne. ET / 7 sati. PT)will open with unbeaten super lightweight contender Mario “Asteci” Četvrti uzimanje na upečatljivom Jose Roman u obračunu od 10 rundi.

After having heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder nearly out on his feet in their March classic, Ortiz (28-1, 24 KOs) eventually succumbed to the power of the unbeaten champion. Sada, Ortiz looks to get back to world title contention on July 28. Originally, from Camaguey, Kuba, now residing in Miami, Florida, Ortiz will fight in Los Angeles for the first time as a professional. Ortiz quickly became one of the most avoided men in boxing with victories over Bryant Jennings, Tony Thompson and Malik Scott on his way to the memorable showdown with Wilder.

 

 

 

“I’m looking to make a statement on July 28 and get back to challenge for the heavyweight championship of the world,” Said Ortiz. “I’m excited to be back in the ring. I am thankful to have this opportunity. To all the fans in Los Angeles, don’t miss this great card at STAPLES Center. ‘The Real King Kong’ is coming to LA!”

 

 

 

A native of Romania and fighting out of Burbank, Kalifornija, Cojanu (16-3, 9 KOs) challenged then WBO heavyweight world champion Joseph Parker for the title in May 2017. Cojanu took the New Zealand champion the distance but lost via unanimous decision in the champion’s home country. Standing over six-foot-seven, Cojanu scored three straight knockout victories in 2016 to earn the title shot and will return to the ring for his first fight in the U.S. since January 2016.

 

 

 

“I’m proud and confident to know that I will be stepping into the ring against a worthy opponent on July 28,” Said Cojanu. “Luis Ortiz is a world-class fighter with a lot of experience, which will give me the opportunity to show my skills to all the fans at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles and watching on SHOWTIME.”

 

 

 

23-godišnjak Četvrti (21-0, 13 KOs) has been impressive since moving up to 140 pounds last March. He’s scored stoppage victories over Yardley Cruz, Jose Luis Rodriguez, Naim Nelson and most recently a second-round destruction of Eudy Bernardo. The five-foot-ten Barrios of San Antonio had previously campaigned at 130 pounds before making the move to the higher weight class that has helped unlock his power.

 

 

 

“I fought on SHOWTIME EXTREME but making my debut on SHOWTIME has always been a dream of mine since I was a kid,” Said Barrios. “Sada, the time has come to show why I’m here. I’m ready to keep showing why I’m going to become a star and one of the sport’s next great fighters. Come July 28, everyone should tune-in for a great night of fights. It’s ‘Azteca’ time.”

 

 

 

Fighting out of Garden Grove, Kalifornija, Rimski (24-2-1, 16 KOs) scored knockouts in nine of his first 11 pro fights and has won 10 njegovog poslednjeg 11 leading up to July 28. The 30-year-old most recently dropped a decision to Wilberth Lopez last September after a run of defeating veteran fighters and will look to put himself back on the path to a world title with a victory over Barrios at STAPLES Center.

 

 

 

“I’m very excited to have this great opportunity,” said Roman. “Barrios has been on a roll, but I have the experience to take him out. Both of us bring pressure and I know he’s going to be hungry to keep his record perfect. I’m more motivated than I’ve ever been for this fight. I can’t wait to put on a show in my backyard for all the great fans in Southern California.”

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Juli 8, 2018) – Last night in star fashion, San Antonio’s undefeated female boxing sensation, Selina “Aztec Queen” Četvrti,” poboljšana u (4-0, 2 KOs), with devastating one punch knockout over current WBF international lightweight champion, Aida “Lady Sparta” Satybaldinova (3-1-1). Barrios landed a crushing picture perfect left hook to the chin of Satybaldinova, završava borbu na 1:24 oznaka četvrte runde, in what many would say is a candidate for “Knockout of the Year”. The fight that took place at the American Bank Center Water Garden room in Corpus Christi, TX, presented by Reyna Promotions.

 

 

 

From the opening bell both fighters went bombs away, with Selina landing the cleaner, more powerful blows to Satybaldinova. “Lady Sparta” was all game as she went toe-to-toe with Barrios, holding her ground for the time being, but taking a lot of damage. U drugom kolu, both fighters continued to leave everything in the ring, throwing power punches with both hands. Barrios again was getting the better punches off. U trećem kolu, Barrios hurt Satybaldinova with a combination flurry of punches, but Aida being the warrior that she is, made it to round four. After another aggressive being to the round, Barrios landed that massive left hook to the jaw of Satybaldinova, and the fight was over.

 

 

 

“I wanted to come out tonight and give my Texas fans a night to remember,” said Selina Barrios, who is the current NABF lightweight champion. “After feeling her out in the first couple of rounds, I knew I was going to land a big shot at some point in the right, because she was standing right in front of me. When I landed that left hook, I knew she wasn’t going to get up. I set it up nicely, and she walked right into it. I have a lot of respect for Aida, she fought like a warrior, and if she wants the rematch, I’ll give it to her.”

 

 

 

“I fought hard but didn’t get victory tonight,” said Satybaldinova. “Next time I will win. I will continue to work harder to fight the best. I will never give up. I hope to fight Selina again in rematch.”

SELINA “AZTEC QUEEN” BARRIOS
RETURNS TO HER HOME STATE OF TEXAS

 

San Antonio, TX (Juli 3, 2018) – Undefeated female sensation, Selina “Aztec Queen” Četvrti (3-0, 1 KO), returns to the ring this Saturday night, Juli 7, 2018, as the main event in Corpus Christi, Teksas, in the well-established American Bank Center Water Garden Room, bringing a loaded card of fistic fury.

Četvrti, who owns the NABF lightweight title, which she won in her 3rd professional bout, će se suočiti Aida “Lady Sparta” Satybaldinova (3-0-1) iz Astana, Kazahstan, best known as the “Female GGG”, and is the current WBF International Lightweight Champion. Both girls are undefeated and hold titles as lightweights. Barrios is also rated #18 in the world by the WBC (World Boxing Council). This bout will be held over 8 kruga.

This bout is promoted by Reyna Promotions of Corpus Christi. The promoters were looking for a first-class main event and landed a fight that is a solid television fight. The local ABC-TV affiliate (KSAT) in San Antonio will be in Corpus to broadcast this fight live and stream it across the internet. Female and male fight fans across the world that know these two pugilists will be tuning in to watch an action-packed fight as both warriors step forward and throw punches without grabbing and holding or running. Barrios and Satybaldinova are both guaranteeing a knockout.

“Selina has never been pressured in a boxing ring with a fighter like myself,” said the WBF Champ Satybaldinova. “I’m a pressure fighter that will take two punches to throw one bomb, and I feel I will be too strong for her. I do know I don’t have to look for Selina and have watched her fights. She stands and fights, which is made to order for me,”

Selina shoots back stating, “I have watched Aida’s videos and her comments about coming into my area of south Texas where I’m from, and saying she is going to knock me out, infuriates me. If it’s a war she wants, she just lit the fuse. No one is coming to south Texas to beat the “Aztec Queen” and we will find out how tough she is. To je rat vremena. Let’s do this.”

Undefeated Super lightweight contender and brother of Selina, Mario Barrios (21-0, 13 KOs), called his agents and promoters to let them know he is leaving camp, to go to this fight and is bringing a huge fan base with him. George Foreman’s former camp organizer is coming in to work the corner with Selina, and Deborah Hawkins, the representative for the NABF Female title fights, will be there to discuss a possible rematch for the championship, if the fight is as competitive as she thinks it will be.

GM3 Promotions from California, Keeppunching Entertainment from Louisiana, and CCC Entertainment from Corpus Christi, among other promoters are eyeing these two warriors for future shows and will also be in the audience along with other well-known agents, Menadžeri, and promoters. Eying this fight from long distance is DiBella Entertainment in New York as Lou DiBella is building a huge stable of top notch female fighters across the globe.

Great athletes, especially boxers and in this case female boxers, are very fascinating. It will be thrilling to watch two undefeated female athletes compete against each other, while the rest of the world of female fighters avoids the undefeated stars. The difference between the greats in boxing and the contenders are those who appear to be fearless and accept all challenges and how they respond to adversity. The greats put in persistent effort to excel while the contenders lose steam and regress by fighting easier competition on regular basis. This will be Barrios’ second undefeated opponent in only her 4th fight, and both have had very advanced amateur backgrounds. Satybaldinova, s druge strane, is coming into unfamiliar territory. That is what the greats do. Two potential greats meeting head to head early in their careers with each having the utmost confidence that they will win by KO.

Robert Hunt of GM3 Promotions: “I am glad we were able to come to an agreement to make this fight happen because I know Aida is going to win. Barrios is good but has never fought a fighter like Aida. One thing I know for sure is the fans are in for a great night of boxing and know this is a match-up that helps keep female boxing on the forefront.”

Colin Campbell of CCC Promotions: “The boxing community in south Texas is going bonkers over this fight and plans to set a record for attendance. It’s fights like this that creates raving fight fans.”

Ernest Reyna of Reyna Promotions: “This is my 3rd show and to be able to make this fight on this show is outstanding. Fighting as the co-main event is former heavyweight champion of the world, Oliver McCall. I am more excited about this show as a fan than a promoter. I’m pumped.”

Charles Campbell of CCC Promotions: “I travel the USA going to top fights. To think this is going to be in south Texas says a lot about the emergence of boxing here in Corpus Christi.”

Kerry Daigle of Keeppunching Entertainment: “In my 45 years of working in boxing, this may be one of the most fun matches to be made in professional female boxing. Kazakhstan vs Mexico. You can’t ask for better athletes to compete against each other. Two champions…. both undefeated…. going head to head.

“Selina Barrios has never been in the ring with a fighter like myself,” stated Aida Satybaldinova, who is managed by GM3 Promotions. “I’m true pressure fighter with power in both hands.

San Antonio (Mart 11, 2018) - Mikey Garcia captured a world title in his fourth weight division, outpointing previously undefeated Sergey Lipinets to win the IBF Junior Welterweight World Championship Subota on SHOWTIME from Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio.

Sa pobjedom, Garcia (38-0, 30 KOs) joined Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez as the only fighters in history to win titles at 126, 130, 135 i 140 funti.

“It’s a great feeling. Winning this fourth title in a fourth division is an honor,” Garcia said. “To get to be mentioned with Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez is a huge honor for me. It just leaves a little chapter in boxing with my name, my brother, my dad. I think people will remember the Garcia family for ages to come.”

Garcia, who was fighting for just the second time at 140 funti, relied on a steady diet of combos to back up Lipinets, who was making the first defense of the IBF title he won last November on SHOWTIME. Garcia floored Lipinets for the first time in his career, connecting on a counter left hook midway through the seventh in a rousing moment that sent the pro-Garcia crowd at Freeman Coliseum to their feet.

Garcia, who won by scores of 116-111 i 117-110 dvaput, connected on 46 percent of his power shots compared to 36 percent for the defending champion.

“He came in exactly as I expected – a very tough, very hungry and strong fighter,” Garcia said. “We worked with angles behind the jab. He’s very dangerous, but we had a great game plan and we were able to prevail.

“I know I carry the power, but I was fighting a bigger man and he could take a punch. I didn’t want to get caught and I had to be patient.”

Nakon borbe, Garcia, who still holds the WBC title at lightweight, reiterated his mantra that he’s seeking the biggest fights available, regardless of weight division.

“What I love is I have all the options,” Garcia said. “I could go down to 135 to unify titles, which is what I really want to do. And in a couple of fights you’re going to see me at 147.

Despite being the defending champion, Lipinets (13-1, 10 KOs) was fighting in just his 14th professional fight. The Russian, who was born in Kazakhstan, delivered a valiant effort against one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.

“It was probably experience that took over at some point,” Lipinets said. “Mikey is a great fighter, he can obviously crack. It was just experience that I was lacking.

“I want to go back in the gym and work on the problems I showed in the ring. There are a couple of holes I need to close. I’ll be back. It’s a learning experience.”

In a rematch of one of 2017’s best and most controversial fights, Kiryl Relikh handed former two-division world champion Rances Barthelemy the first loss of his career with a wide unanimous decision victory to capture the vacant WBA Super Lightweight World Championship.

Relikh (22-2, 19 KOs) was the more active fighter and controlled the co-main event of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast from the opening bell, bacanje 1,237 total punches compared to just 494 for Barthelemy. Relikh, who many thought won their first matchup, consistently worked off his jab, povezivanje na 103 punches per round while Barthelemy landed an average of just 41.

While Barthelemy (26-1, 13 KOs) won a disputed and wide decision in their first bout there was no controversy in the judges’ scorecards in the rematch, koji je postigao 117-110 i 118-109 dvaput.

Relikh became just the third fighter from Belarus to win a world title while Barthelemy came up short in his bid to become the first Cuban to win a world title in three weight divisions.

“Last time I was not ready,” Relikh said. “I didn’t have proper preparation in the first fight but this time, with my new trainers, Bio sam spreman. Ja sam vrlo sretan. I’ve waited for this dream for 20 godina. I’ve worked hard for this dream and now it’s mine.

“Coming in we were looking to box all the way. My jab has developed so much since the last fight. They probably thought that I would run out of gas like last time, but I trained like a champion this time. Everything was geared toward becoming champion and that’s what we did večeras."

Barthelemy, who picked up the pace a bit in the final three rounds, didn’t dispute the decision.

“My heart is broken because I came in to this fight trying to get that third world title,” Barthelemy said. “I have to admit defeat and say that Relikh deserved to win that fight, but I will be back.

“At this point I have to look forward and put it behind me.”

The featured attraction of the SHOWTIME BOXING on SHO EXTREME telecast saw San Antonio’s own Mario Barrios (21-0, 13 KOs) deliver a sensational second round knockout of Eudy Bernardo (23-3, 17 KOs) in front of his hometown fans.

“I definitely made a statement večeras,” said Barrios. “I showed the 140-pound division that I’m here and ready for any of them.”

Barrios was dominant from the start and struck early in the second with a vicious straight right that put Bernardo down. Although Bernardo got to his feet and beat the count, referee Jon Schorle had seen enough and waved off the bout 45 seconds into the second round of the super lightweight affair.

“I wasn’t going in there looking for the knockout, but I caught him early,” said Barrios. “I’ve been on a good run and I’m ready to continue that streak. We’re moving up the ranks fight by fight. I’m looking to get a title eliminator by the end of the year and hopefully a title shot early next year.”

U uvodnom nastup na SHO EXTREME televizijska emisija, Richard Commey (26-2, 23 KOs) scored a sixth-round TKO of Alejandro Luna (22-1, 15 KOs) in their IBF Lightweight World Title Eliminator.

“Despite the win, my performance wasn’t up to the level that I hoped it would be,” said Commey. “He was exactly what I expected and if I had connected on more of my punches in the beginning I think the fight would have been over earlier. I was really trying to work on what we had been focusing on in camp but I just wasn’t performing well at the start of the fight.”

The fight was defined by exciting exchanges throughout, with Commey, fighting on his 31st rođendan, getting the better early and connecting with power punches that caused Luna’s jaw to swell. Commey’s power broke through in round six when a powerful combination punctuated by a left uppercut sent Luna to the canvas for the first time in his career.

“Ja sam jako razočaran,” said Luna. “All the credit to Commey, but I expect more of myself and I’m going to get back in the gym and come back much stronger and better.”

Luna rose to his feet but was quickly pounced on by Commey, koji je sletio 62 percent of his power punches in the round, and was sent to the mat again. This forced referee David Fields to call a halt to the bout at 1:54 okruglih šest. Commey now becomes the mandatory challenger for IBF Lightweight World Champion Robert Easter, who Commey lost a split decision to in September 2016.

“It is the greatest feeling to get the win on my 31st birthday,” said Commey. “I am looking forward to fighting for the 135-pound world title and becoming champion.”

The SHO EXTREME swing bout featured unbeaten prospect Brandon Figueroa (15-0, 10 KOs) scoring a seventh round knockout of Mexico’s Giovanni Delgado (16-6, 9 KOs) in their super bantamweight clash.

Figueroa, the brother of former champion Omar, continued to show the aggressive style that has defined his early career as he threw an astonishing 178 punches in the third round. That number was good for the second most ever thrown in a single round by a fighter in a super bantamweight bout, according to CompuBox.

The 21-year-old Figueroa continued to put the pressure on, battering Delgado until referee Gregorio Alvarez halted the fight at 1:55of the seventh round.

“It’s fun to me to be in these kind of fights. Mikey Garcia comes from a great pedigree of fighting. Robert Garcia is a gentleman who’s taken limited fighters and got them to the top. Mikey has a lot of talent so they have their eyes on a lot more world titles, ali u subotu noć, you’ll have to wait and watch happens.”
RICHARD SCHÄFER, Predsjednik & CEO Ringstar sporta
“For as little as $20 you can be part of a historic night of boxing. This arena is built for boxing so I hope all the local fans come out to witness history being made.
“SHOWTIME has continued to put on the best fights week after week and month after month. They have really become the sole leader in this sport and are a big reason why there has been such a resurgence of boxing in the U.S.
“This fight card has a little bit of everything. There are five Texans fighting on this card, most notably San Antonio’s Mario Barrios, plus emerging stars such as Alejandro Luna and Richard Commey, who are looking to make names for themselves.
“The 140-pound division is on full display Saturday night with Rances Barthelemy and Kiryl Relikh meeting in a world title rematch for a world title. Plus of course we have the historic matchup as Sergey Lipinets defends his title while Mikey Garcia seeks a fourth world title in a weight class.
