L'événement est promu par TGB Promotions et Sampson Boxing. Hitchins vs. Mendez est co-promu par Mayweather Promotions.

Nordine Oubaali contre. Nonito Donaire devait initialement avoir lieu en décembre 12 mais a été reporté après qu'Oubaali ait été testé positif au COVID-19.

«Cet événement principal en décembre 12 opposera deux des talents émergents les plus excitants de la division de 130 livres alors que le sublime Chris Colbert affrontera le puissant Jaime Arboleda dans une confrontation à ne pas manquer,» A déclaré Tom Brown, Président de TGB Promotions. «Lors de cet événement co-principal, deux prétendants des poids moyens, Matt Korobov et Ronald Ellis, chercheront à montrer qu'ils font partie de l'élite de la division., tandis que l'ouverture du SHOWTIME met en vedette le prospect excitant Richardson Hitchins contre le toujours difficile Argenis Mendez dans un grand combat intensif. Ce sont trois combats homogènes qui devraient donner lieu à un drame sans escale le soir du combat.

Représentant son Brooklyn natal, N. Y., Colbert (14-0, 5 KOs) a rapidement grimpé dans le classement des 130 livres, affronter une compétition de haut niveau dans sa première 14 combats professionnels. Le joueur de 24 ans a battu les combattants invaincus Austin Dulay, Titus Williams et Antonio Dubose, le tout dans ses huit premiers combats en tant que professionnel. En 2019, Colbert a ajouté quatre autres victoires à son décompte, y compris un KO explosif au premier tour du vétéran Miguel Beltran Jr. Plus récemment,, Colbert a remporté son titre par intérim en abandonnant l'ancien champion des super poids plume Jezreel Corrales sur le chemin d'une décision unanime en janvier 2020 choc.

«Je suis super excité de faire mes grands débuts sur scène dans l'événement principal,»A déclaré Colbert. «Ça a été un long camp, mais la formation se passe très bien. Je cherche à faire une performance dominante, et je cherche le KO s'il est là. Si je peux l'obtenir, ce serait splendide. Je sais que Jaime va venir se battre. Il veut la ceinture aussi mal que je veux garder la ceinture. Tout dépendra de l'endurance, Ring IQ et qui a la plus grande volonté de gagner. Je sens que je suis le gars pour le travail. Il n’y a aucun moyen que je renonce à ma ceinture pour ma première défense. »

Arboleda, 26 ans (16-1, 13 KOs) a amassé une impressionnante séquence de six victoires consécutives avant le match contre Colbert, avec cinq de ces victoires à l'intérieur de la distance. Né à Curundu, Panama, et maintenant se battre contre Miami, Fla. Arboleda se bat professionnellement depuis 2014 et a marqué KO contre deux adversaires alors invaincus en 2019, Victor Betancourt et Jose Saant. Dans son dernier combat, Arboleda, qui est classé quatrième dans la division 130 livres par la WBA, a battu l'ancien prétendant au titre mondial Jayson Velez par décision unanime de remporter son premier combat de 12 rounds en février sur SHOWTIME.

“Le rêve de tout boxeur est de se battre pour un titre et de remporter la victoire sans laisser de doute,»Dit Arboleda. «C'est mon plan pour décembre 12. J'ai la meilleure préparation de toute ma carrière. Je me sens bien, fort et rapide comme jamais auparavant. Je suis sûr que ce sera un combat très excitant dès le premier tour. "

Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KOs) revient à l'action après avoir perdu son décembre 2019 affrontement contre Chris Eubank Jr. lorsqu'il a subi une blessure à l'épaule qui a obligé le combat à se terminer au deuxième tour. Korobov, qui a entaillé 300 gagne en amateur décoré, est entré dans ce combat après un match nul contre Immanuwel Aleem, après avoir notifié à la division des poids moyens qu'il serait une menace lorsqu'il a perdu une décision acharnée contre le champion invaincu des poids moyens Jermall Charlo en décembre. Né à Orotukan, Russie, et vivant maintenant à St. Pétersbourg, Fla, Korobov était un remplacement tardif et a donné Charlo un combat plus difficile que de nombreux experts attendus. Korobov avait été monté sur un série de victoires à quatre combat avant le combat Charlo, suite à sa première défaite professionnelle contre Andy Lee dans un 2014 combat pour le titre des poids moyens.

“Je suis ravi d'être de retour à un événement PBC sur SHOWTIME le 12 décembre” dit Korobov. “J'ai un adversaire difficile, mais j'espère gagner et prouver que je suis de retour et encore mieux préparé. Je dois gagner contre Ellis pour ramener Jermall Charlo sur le ring. Bien sûr, Je crois que j'ai battu Charlo, mais c'est le passé. Ellis est dans mon futur, et je viens pour montrer que je suis toujours l'un des meilleurs poids moyens du monde.”

Ellis, 31 ans (17-1-2, 11 KOs) cherchera à s'appuyer sur sa dernière sortie, qui l'a vu devancer son compatriote Immanuwel Aleem par décision majoritaire en décembre 2019. Pour Ellis, ce combat l'a ramené dans la colonne des victoires après sa première défaite en carrière, une décision majoritaire contre DeAndre Ware en mars 2019. Le Lynn, Mass.-native est le frère aîné du poids welter Rashidi Ellis, et a eu une carrière amateur impressionnante comprenant un 2010 Le championnat national des Golden Gloves couronné par une victoire sur Terrell Gausha.

“Il est temps pour moi de montrer le 12 décembre,” dit Ellis. “Korobov a eu sa chance contre les meilleurs poids moyens, et maintenant, il est temps pour moi de profiter de cette opportunité et d'utiliser une victoire contre lui pour atteindre ce niveau. Nous travaillons dur à San Diego pour nous disputer avec Canelo Alvarez pour que tout soit parfait et que je sois à mon meilleur la nuit de combat.”

Originaire de Brooklyn, Hitchins (11-0, 5 KOs) est devenu professionnel en 2017 après avoir représenté Haïti à la 2016 Jeux olympiques. Le joueur de 23 ans a montré des compétences impressionnantes alors qu'il a accumulé un record invaincu dans les rangs professionnels, qui est le produit d'une longue carrière amateur. Hitchins a remporté quatre victoires en 2019, avant de faire ses débuts dans 2020 avec une victoire décisive sur Nicholas DeLomba. Lors de ses deux premiers combats de 10 rounds en tant que professionnel, le gaucher a marqué des décisions décisives à l'unanimité.

"Je n'oublie aucun adversaire, mais je crois que j'ai des compétences meilleures et plus pointues que Mendez,» A déclaré Hitchins. «J'ai tous les actifs incorporels pour devenir un champion du monde. C'est souvent confondu avec arrogance, mais c’est vraiment moi qui croit en moi plus que quiconque. Je prendrai ce combat au sérieux comme je fais n'importe quel autre combat et continuerai à faire ce que je fais pour me rapprocher de ce coup de titre. Être au camp avec Floyd Mayweather et Gervonta Davis, J'ai beaucoup appris. Je sens que je dois surpasser la concurrence. Ils m'ont vraiment poussé à devenir un meilleur combattant.

Un ancien champion des super poids plume, Mendez (25-5-3, 12 KOs) a la réputation de fournir des défis difficiles aux meilleurs du sport et s'est avéré être un concurrent durable à 140 livres. En 2019, Mendez s'est battu pour des matchs nuls consécutifs contre des prétendants super légers, d'abord contre Anthony Peterson en mars, puis contre l'invaincu Juan Heraldez en mai. Né à San Juan de La Maguana, République Dominicaine, Mendez se bat maintenant hors de Yonkers, N. Y.. et possède des victoires sur Eddie Ramirez, Ivan Redkach et l'ancien titlist Miguel Vazquez. Il a également affronté les anciens champions Rances Barthelemy et Robert Easter Jr.

«Je suis face à un jeune prospect qui a soif de succès, mais j'ai plus faim aujourd'hui que je ne l'ai jamais été dans ma carrière et j'ai l'expérience pour l'accompagner,”A dit Mendez. «Je suis également extrêmement motivé pour ce combat, ce qui n’est pas une bonne nouvelle pour les Hitchins. Quand le combat arrive en décembre 12, vous assisterez à un Argenis Mendez intelligent mais plus agressif. "

BROOKLYN (Décembre 8, 2019) – Undefeated WBC Middleweight World ChampionJermall Charlo (30-0, 22 KOs) successfully defended his title for the second time, stopping highly-ranked Irish contender Dennis Hogan (28-3-1, 7 KOs) with a showstopping one-punch knockout in the seventh round Saturday night live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, la maison de BROOKLYN BOXE ™, dans un événement présenté par Premier Champions de boxe.

WATCH CHARLO’S FINISH

Houston’s Charlo, one of the most exciting young champions in the sport, delivered on his promise that he would close the show in spectacular fashion after going the distance in his previous two bouts. À :28 of round number seven, Charlo set Hogan up by feinting on the jab before connecting on a ferocious left hook to Hogan’s nose that sent him falling against the ropes. The 34-year-old Hogan, who was moving up after most recently challenging for the title at 154 livres, rose to his feet before the ten count, but referee Charlie Fitch waived off the bout.

When Hogan was dropped in the seventh round, it was the third time in his career that he had been down and the second time during the fight. Au troisième tour, a vicious left uppercut from Charlo just 12 seconds into the frame sent Hogan rolling backwards onto the canvas, but the Irishman rose quickly and acrobatically to his feet.

Despite throwing far fewer punches, Charlo had the more effective and efficient attack. Charlo landed 86 du 266 punches he threw (32%) while Hogan landed just 71 du 418 punches he threw (17%). Despite Hogan landing on 61 coups de puissance par rapport à 57 for Charlo, Hogan was unable to hurt Charlo, while Charlo’s trademark power resulted in another highlight reel stoppage.

I made it through 2019 and we’re going to 2020 avec 20/20 vision,” said Charlo in the ring following the fight. “Shout out to Dennis Hogan for giving me real competition and for coming up to fight me.Of course my power prevailed tonight.

We’ve been working on that (the uppercut). I try to take him out with every punch and we work hard for it. He got up and he fought like a champion. Ronnie (Shields) told me to cut him off. I just threw the shot and I made sure I threw it right on the money.

The middleweight division is wide open. I’m the WBC Champion. I’m going to enjoy this and spend time with my team. I’m here to fight whoever. You have to make the right decisions and do it at the right time. That’s what it’s all about.

I wanted to keep going but the decision was fair enough by the referee,” said Hogan. “I didn’t see the punch coming on the second knockdown. I was trying to keep boxing him but then all of a sudden I was on the ground and the fight was over.

I’m looking forward to spending the Christmas holiday with my family, taking a month off, and then we’ll work on what’s next for me.


Dans le combat co-vedette, Chris Eubank Jr.'S (29-2, 22 KOs) long-awaited United States debut ended in frustrating fashion as his opponent, Matt Korobov (28-3-1, 14 KOs), suffered a bout-ending injury at just :34 du second tour. Because it was ruled a self-inflicted injury, the result was officially declared a TKO victory for Eubank, who picked up the Interim WBA Middleweight Title.

Korobov, a top contender in the middleweight division, injured his left shoulder after throwing a punch that failed to land. After consulting with the ringside doctor, it was deemed that he would be unable to continue.

I felt like I was about to get my swagger on,” Eubank told SHOWTIME reporter Jim Gray following the stoppage. “He just turned around and stopped. I was going to go jump on him. I guess something happened with his shoulder. There’s nothing to take from the fight. I threw like three or four punches. I was just warming up.

In the buildup to the fight, Eubank, le fils de la légende de la boxe britannique et ancien champion du monde de la division Chris Eubank Sr., repeatedly said that there would be a new contender in the stacked middleweight division. Despite not getting a chance to introduce himself to the American audience in the way he envisioned, Eubank is looking ahead to a busy 2020.

I’m the winner, I’m going to move forward and challenger for these belts,” said Eubank. “This wasn’t my dream. My dream was to come here to America and make a statement. Now that I’ve landed and I settled with the new promotional team, I feel I can get the ball rolling for an active 2020. It’s a shame it had to start like this, but it is what it is.

I was trying to throw the left hand straight, and I just felt the muscle immediately, like I pulled it,” dit Korobov. “It was a lot of pain right away. I couldn’t fight with just one arm, especially being a southpaw.

In a battle of former world champions to open the telecast, du Japon Ryosuke Iwasa (27-3, 17 KOs) knocked out the PhilippinesMarlon Tapales (33-3, 16 KOs) with a devastating straight left-hand at 1:09 du 11e tour. Avec la victoire, Iwasa earned the vacant Interim IBF World Junior Featherweight Title.

Iwasa, who held a six-and-a-half-inch reach advantage, was more consistent throughout the entirety of the bout, stringing together multi-punch combinations. The decisive moment of the 12-round fight came in the penultimate round, when Tapales was caught with a counter left-hand that connected flush on his chin and put him sprawled on the canvas. Tapales beat the count, rising after eight seconds, but referee Shada Murdaugh waved the fight off.

Au moment de l'arrêt, Iwasa led on all three scorecards (97-92, 95-94, 97-92). While Tapales was more accurate throughout the night, Iwasa was busier and landed 163 total punches compared to 148 for Tapales and held a 125-99 advantage in power punches landed. Au troisième tour, Tapales was dropped to a knee after an accidental clash of heads. The clash, which was incorrectly ruled a knockdown, caused severe swelling under Tapalesright eye and swung a would-be 10-9 round in his favor to a 10-8 round in Iwasa’s favor.

I knew that I had him hurt in the 11e round and I was ready for the finish if the referee had let him keep fighting,” said the 29-year-old Iwasa. “It was a tough fight but I trained really hard for this performance. My height and reach was definitely an advantage. I was able to put my punches together well. He never hurt me but he was still difficult and I had to focus to figure him out.

We’re ready for anyone next. I’m going to keep working hard to become a world champion again next year.

On Saturday’s telecast it was announced that former two-division world champion Danny Garcia would return to the ring on Saturday, Janvier 25 en direct sur Showtime de Barclays Centre. During an interview with SHOWTIME Sports host Brian Custer, Garcia discussed his anticipated return to the ring.

“Janvier 25, I’m back at Barclays Center, my home away from home,” Garcia a déclaré. “C'est une super ambiance. Every time I’m here, I get the jitters, so I just can’t wait to be back. I’ve been in the gym for a month. I’m already ready. I don’t know who my opponent is, but whoever they put in front of me, I’m ready to get it on.

“Tout d'abord, Dieu merci (Errol) Spence is doing good. I hear that he’s recovering well. I was really looking forward to fighting him but maybe he could be next after January 25. Pac-Man (Manny Pacquiao) or Spence, that’s who we want. 2020 is going to be a big year for me.

Prior to the telecast on SHOWTIME, SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN streamed live on the SHOWTIME Sport chaîne YouTube et Showtime Boxing page Facebook and saw Ronald Ellis (17-1-2, 11 KOs) win a majority decision over Immanuel Aleem (18-2-2, 11 KOs) in their 10-round super middleweight fight.

The back and forth affair saw both men grab the momentum of the fight at different points, but it was Ellisactivity and ability to box effectively from the outside that gave him the edge. While one judge had the fight 95-95, he was overruled by two scores of 98-92 et 97-93 for Ellis.

The opening streaming bout saw Louisa Hawton (10-2, 5 KOs) retain her Interim WBC Atomweight Championship by unanimous decision in an all-action rematch againstLorraine Villalobos (4-3, 2 KOs).

Hawton came back after being dropped by a powerful left hook from Villalobos in the sixth round. Hawton was saved by the bell in the round and finished the fight strong, punctuating the action getting the best of several exchanges in the late rounds to win by the score of 95-94 sur les trois cartes.

Chris Eubank JR. & MATT KOROBOV TRAINING CAMP QUOTES

Middleweight Chris Eubank Jr étoile. & Top Contender Matt Korobov Discuss Upcoming Showdown for Interim WBA Middleweight Title On Saturday, Décembre 7 En direct sur Showtime® from Barclays Center in Premier Boxing Champions Event



BROOKLYN (Novembre 19, 2019) – Middleweight star Chris Eubank Jr. et haut concurrent Matt Korobov shared their thoughts on their upcoming showdown for the Interim WBA Middleweight Title taking place Saturday, Décembre 7 en direct sur Showtime de Barclays Centre,la maison de BROOKLYN BOXE ™.



The middleweight division will take center stage on the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®émission de télévision (9 p.m. HE / 6 h, heure. PT) qui est en tête d'affiche invaincue WBC Middleweight Champion du Monde Jermall Charlo défendre son titre contre candidat hautement classé Dennis Hogan. Dans le combat d'ouverture de la télédiffusion, former world champions Marlon Tapales et Ryosuke Iwasawill meet for an interim 122-pound title.



Les billets pour l'événement en direct, qui est promu par les Lions des promotions spéciales et promotions TGB, sont en vente dès maintenant et peuvent être achetés à ticketmaster.com
et barclayscenter.com. Les billets peuvent également être achetés à la billetterie American Express au Barclays Center. Les rabais de groupe sont disponibles en téléphonant 844-BKLYN-GP.



Eubank will make his U.S. pro debut on December 7, after establishing himself as a contender at 160 et 168 pounds while fighting in his native United Kingdom. He most recently registered a career-best win over former champion James DeGale in February on SHOWTIME in London but will now move back down to 160 pounds to seek a title at middleweight beginning with the fight against Korobov.



Korobov will return to fight at Barclays Center for the second time nearly one year after losing a close decision to Charlo as a late replacement opponent last December in Brooklyn. After fighting to a controversial draw against Immanuwel Aleem in May, Korobov will look to make a statement against Eubank to earn another shot at a world title.



Here is what Eubank and Korobov had to say about their matchup, a future fight with Jermall Charlo and more:



Chris Eubank JR.



How does it feel to be making your U.S. pro debut on December 7? What are you looking to show the U.S. fans in this fight?



“It’s always been a dream of mine to fight in the U.S. Even with everything I’ve done in the sport over in the U.K, I’ve always felt there was something missing and I believe it was the urge to introduce myself and my fight style to the American audience of fight fans. Now I have my opportunity.”



Why did you make the decision to move down to middleweight for this fight? In what ways are you stronger at 160-pounds?



“I’ve never been a real super middleweight. Je me promène à 170 pounds out of competition and have to eat breakfast the day of my weigh-ins to make 168. I believe at 160 I am going to be a beast now that I have become accustomed to fighting much bigger fighters over the last three years.”



What do you know about Korobov as a fighter and how do you see this fight going stylistically?



“I think Korobov will be awkward until I pin him down and when I do, I will show the audience why I am a fan friendly fighter.”



If you’re able to get past Korobov, what would you think of a fight against Jermall Charlo? What advantages do you think you have in that fight?



“When I dispatch of Korobov, Charlo is definitely the name that’s on my radar. He is seen as one of the elite fighters in the middleweight division and I intend to prove that he is not on my level. It will be satisfying stamping my mark on the division against Charlo after I beat Korobov. I think it will be a great fight for the fans as together our styles would make for a very exciting bout.”



MATT KOROBOV



Is it exciting to be back at Barclays Center as the co-main event to Charlo, because with a win, you have an opportunity to show him why you deserve the rematch?



"Oui, it is very exciting to be back at Barclays Center, only this time I will leave with the belt. I thought I deserved an immediate rematch against Charlo because many people believed I won. I think when I defeat Eubank Jr. and win this belt, it will force Charlo to give me a rematch. We shall see. I only focus on one fight at a time and right now I am only focused on Chris Eubank Jr.”

How do you stay mentally focused on the next fight when you believe you had two bad scorecards go against you?



“I do not focus on the past. I focus on the future because I can only control the future. I will be my best and my best will be good enough against Chris Eubank Jr. We’re doing everything possible in camp to make sure I’m ready.”

What do you make of Eubank as a fighter? How do you expect the fight to look stylistically?



“Eubank is a very good fighter, one of the best. I believe I am a more disciplined fighter. I think my technique is better, but he does some things very well. Let’s see on December 7. I don’t want to give away the weaknesses I see, but the style difference will make a very entertaining fight for the fans.

Do you think you have the advantage as far as boxing skills over Eubank? How do you counter his possible size advantage, given that he’s coming down from 168 livres?



“I think my skills are better. I do not think weight will be an issue. He is professional and I am professional. Si quoi que ce soit, perhaps it is a little more difficult for him to make 160 after years at 168. I will fight anyone between 160 et 168 livres, so I don’t see any problem with weight for me, perhaps more for him. We will find out December 7.”

Né à Orotukan, Russie et vit maintenant à St. Pétersbourg, Floride, Korobov était un remplacement tardif et a donné Charlo un combat plus difficile que de nombreux experts attendus. Korobov avait été monté sur un série de victoires à quatre combat avant le combat Charlo, ayant déjà perdu un combat pour le titre de poids moyen à Andy Lee 2014.

« Je suis plus motivé pour ce combat que tout autre à ce jour dans ma carrière,» Dit Korobov. « Contre Jermall Charlo, Je n'ai pas la décision. Dans mon esprit, J'ai gagné ce combat au Barclays Center. Cette fois-ci, Je laisserai sans doute contre Eubank. Cette opportunité me donne une chance de redresser un tort. Les fans verront le meilleur Matt Korobov le 7 Décembre »

FAIRFAX, Virginie. (Mai 11, 2019) - Julian “J-Rock’’ Williams knew he was walking into the lion’s den when he traveled from Philadelphia to Virginia to face undefeated unified super welterweight champion “Swift” Jarrett Hurd in his backyard. But Williams (27-1-1, 16 KOs) wasn’t afraid.


He came. He saw and he conquered Hurd (23-1, 16 KOs), scoring a 12-round unanimous decision, handing Hurd his first loss and taking the IBF, WBA and IBO championships before a hometown crowd at the EagleBank Arena on the campus of George Mason University.


The crowd and the primetime audience, which tuned in to FOX and FOX Deportes, witnessed a valiant performance from both Williams and Hurd in what will certainly be a “Fight of the Year’’ candidate. The judges had Williams handily defeating Hurd with scores of 116-111 et 115-112 deux fois.


Williams had come up short in his previous attempt at a world title when he was stopped on via TKO by Jermall Charlo in 2016. He was overwhelmed by emotions after his upset victory over Hurd, who was a presumptive favorite over the 29-year-old Williams.


I am just overwhelmed. This is such a great feeling. I outclassed him. I am one of the best fighters in the world,», A déclaré Williams. “Maybe I wasn’t ready for the title the first time I got the shot. I took the loss. I took it like a man and the whole world doubted me. I went into this fight a five to one underdog.’’


“Ce est un rêve devenu réalité. I have been waiting for this for years. I never ditched the gym. I never got into girls or left the gym. I am from the streets, but I was never in the streets. I was in the gym practicing my craft.


The only people that believed in me were my team, but all I can say is ‘and the new’!”


Hurd is often a slow starter and Williams made him pay for that. He jumped on the defending champion right out of the gate, throwing crisp punches behind a pistol-like jab. Williams dropped Hurd in the second round with a shot to the temple.


“It didn’t really change my strategy. It was just a flash knockdown. It caught me by surprise. I wasn’t really hurt,’’ Hurd said.


Sensing he had stunned Hurd, Williams came out firing in the next round. He picked up the pace and Hurd decided to match the ferocity of the attack rather than wither under it. Midway through the third round, Hurd landed a blistering left uppercut that snapped Williams’ head upward and slowly started to regain his form.


Hurd and Williams went to the trenches in the middle rounds, closing the distance and fighting in tight quarters. Conventional wisdom would seem to favor Hurd in that space, because he is physically bigger than Williams. But Williams did more than hold his own.


By the seventh round, the fight had become a war of attrition and a test of wills. Hurd was cut over his left eye in the eighth round. By then, Williams was completely in control.


Williams said he was well prepared for everything that Hurd threw at him, but it was by no means a cakewalk.


He wasn’t easier to hit than I thought. He was crafty and he had heavy hands. I just stayed poised. I listened to my coach and I just worked,’’ Williams said. “He couldn’t hurt me. I saw everything he was throwing. je l'ai renversé. The game plan was to win however I could. I adapted on the fly. We knew he had certain tendencies and worked on his tendencies. ''


Hurd said he didn’t feel like himself in the fight against Williams. Fighting in front of a raucous hometown crowd filled with family and friends as he hails from nearby Accokeek, Md.


“I wasn’t able to get off. I can’t really call it right now. I have to go back and watch. I was loading up on my shots instead of just letting my hands go,’’ Hurd said. “J-Rock was just the better man tonight. There’s definitely a rematch clause in our contract and I’m going to go for it. I’m going to come back better than I was tonight.’’


Super lightweight sensation Mario Barrios (24-0, 15 KOs) scored a devastating second round knockout victory over Juan Jose Velasco (20-2, 12 KOs) dans la co-métrage. Barrios of San Antonio, Texas kept his undefeated record intact when he landed a crushing body shot that sent Velasco to the canvas midway through the second round. Referee Hugo Spinola counted out Velasco at 1:16 of the second round as the Argentine was on his hands and knees trying to catch his breath.


Barrios said he was trying to be patient and use his jab to set up the perfect shot.


I saw him opening up every time he would step in. I knew one of the body shots was going to do it and I found the sweet spot,’’ Barrios said. “We weren’t expecting it to end that quickly. I wasn’t predicting a knock out, but I knew I had the power to do it and stop him.


I was very confident. J'ai eu un super camp. I can’t thank Virgil Hunter and the team for the preparation for this fight. We knew he was vulnerable with body punches and that was something I work on regardless. It is one of my favorite shots. I have been working on it since the amateurs.”


Barrios said he would build on the victory over Velasco and continue to climb the ladder at 140 livres.


I want a world title shot. I am always in the gym. I am always ready. I want all the smoke at 140. I want any of the champions. And I’m ready to bring a big fight to all my hometown fans in San Antonio.’’


In the opening television bout middleweight contenders Matt Korobov of Orotukan, Russia and Immanuwel Aleem of East Meadow, N. Y.. stalked each other for 10 tours. They took turns pressing the action and playing the aggressor, dishing out and absorbing the best that each had to offer. In the end Korobov (29-2, 14 KOs) and Aleem (18-2-1, 11 KOs) had fought to a majority draw. One judge had Korobov winning 97-93 and two judges scored it 95-95.


In the sixth round Korobov landed a combination that rocked Aleem and had him in trouble momentarily. But Aleem weathered the storm. Aleem came out strong in the ninth round, practically running across the ring to meet Korobov, who had slowly raised his 36-year-old body off the corner stool at the last second. Sensing the close nature of the fight, both Korobov and Aleem unloaded and landed some heavy shots seeking to keep the outcome away from the judges’ scorecards.


Aleem said he thought he won the fight.


“I didn’t feel like he was doing enough. I was trying to use my range. He was just touching me. I realized when I started hitting him that he didnt have the gas.,’’ Aleem said. “I am faster than people think. I see open shots better than people expect. I made a statement tonight and I want to keep making statements.


Korobov , who lost a unanimous decision to Jermall Charlo in his last fight, said he felt sluggish during the match against Aleem.


I felt heavy and not totally sharp enough. It was hard to react and stop him from going inside. I have things to work on.,’’ Korobov said. “He was tougher than I expected. He wasn’t as strong as Charlo, but he is a really good fighter. He kept coming forward. He wasn’t afraid. He just kept throwing punches.

Tickets for the event are on sale now and can be purchased through Ticketmaster (ticketmaster.com).

Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Arlington, Virginie:

JARRETT HURD

This has been a great week. This is the homecoming I always wanted. It’s even better than I imagined and I can’t wait to step into the ring.

You can tell a lot about a fighter when you see them in the lead up to a fight. Julian Williams looks confident and he looks ready. It’s going to be a classic on fight night.

It’s been fun to have this support from the city and my hometown. It’s fueled me. The love and support motivated me in the gym to make sure I go out there and put on a show.

I’m a big 154-pounder but I know how to cut the weight and get it off right. We’re still eating and we’ll be strong come fight night.

JULIAN WILLIAMS

I really don’t think too much about fighting in his hometown. I’ve fought on the road my whole career. I just focus on the fight, not what’s going on outside of the ring.

We touched on a lot of different things in training camp. We left no stone unturned. It sounds cliché and I’ve never said this before, but this was the best camp I’ve ever had. I’m ready to go get this win.

I just see a man over there. His crowd can’t fight for him. That’s all it’s going to be Saturday night.

The jab is always a key. It’s the most important punch in boxing and it’s the key for me no matter who I fight. I always work with bigger guys in camp so the size is going to be nothing new.

MARIO BARRIOS

We focused on being explosive in training camp. Working with Virgil Hunter was great as always. This is a big opportunity and I’m excited to put on a great show for these fans.

“Il est un combattant faim. That’s the main thing. He’s tasted defeat and he doesn’t want to again. I’m blocking his path. Le samedi soir, he’s not getting past me.

I’m getting stronger and better every camp. There’s not too much to say, but I’m just looking forward to getting in the ring Saturday.

JUAN JOSE VELASCO

The fight against Regis Prograis was very tough and important for me. I want to be champion of the world and it showed me what I need to do to achieve that goal. I’m going to put what I learned on display Saturday.

We’ve watched him and we know what he’s capable of doing. We know we have to be prepared to get this victory.

MATT KOROBOV

I took the fight against Jermall Charlo as a win because people know me better now and know where I stand in this division with my performance on short notice. I’m happy to be back and have this fight. My team did a great job preparing and we’ll be ready on Saturday night.

IMMANUWEL ALEEM

My trainer George Peterson has always stressed to train year round. We’re not part time fighters. I’m always in the gym working. When the fight comes, we’re always prepared.

Korobov is another opponent who’s in my way to becoming a world champion. I’ve gotten some good work with southpaws to get ready for him and I feel fully prepared.

Jermall Charlo to Battle Matt Korobov for WBC Interim Middleweight Championship Live in Primetime on FOX & FOX Sports

Presented by Premier Boxing Champions on Saturday, Décembre 22 du centre Barclays à Brooklyn

BROOKLYN (Décembre 17, 2018) – Middleweight prétendante Matt Korobov has stepped up to challenge Jermall Charlo for the WBC Interim Middleweight Championship live in primetime on FOX and FOX Deportes on Saturday, Décembre 22 de Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™ in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Korobov is replacing Willie Monroe, Jr., who was removed from the main event after he tested positive for a banned substance by VADA under the WBC Clean Boxing Program. The WBC is conducting further investigation into the matter.

Korobov was due to fight on the undercard and had been training to fight December 22. He willingly stepped forward when the call came for a replacement for Monroe.

I was well prepared for Willie Monroe, qui est un gaucher, so there won’t be that much difference facing Korobov,” Saïd Charlo. “There is a size difference. He’s taller than Monroe, but I’ll just have to adjust my game plan. The best fighters in the world are the ones who are able to make the best adjustments. Beating Korobov is going to make the victory that much sweeter due to this adversity. That means the celebration is going to be sweeter as well. He was fighting on the undercard, so he’s prepared. But now fighting for the title in the top spot is going to make him fight harder. J'adore ça. He’s a much better opponent on paper than Willie Monroe Jr.

I was training to fight on this card so I am physically and mentally ready to fight,” dit Korobov. “It doesn’t matter that I am taking this fight on a week’s notice because I have been preparing for this moment my entire life. I will make a few adjustments for Charlo and make the most of this opportunity. Ne le manquez pas. Make sure you tune-in to FOX for a great fight.

Le Charlo vs. Korobov bout is part of a blockbuster PBC on FOX show that features the Charlo Twins defending their world titles and a heavyweight showdown between Dominic Breazeale and Carlos Negron beginning at 8 p.m. ET / 5 h, heure. PT.

Jermall Charlo, who won a coin toss with his brother, will close the show in a 12-round WBC middleweight championship bout against Korobov, while Jermell Charlo will battle Tony Harrison in defense of the WBC Super Welterweight World Title.

Korobov (28-1, 14 KOs), who was originally scheduled to face Colombia’s Juan De Angel, has an outstanding resume that includes a unanimous decision victory over current super middleweight world champion Jose Uzcategui in 2014. His lone loss came against Andy Lee in a middleweight championship fight in 2014. Korobov was ahead on all three judgesscorecards when he was caught by a right hand from Lee that resulted in a sixth round TKO loss.

The 35-year-old southpaw is from Orotukan, Russia and now lives in St. Pétersbourg, Floride. As an amateur he won the European Championships in 2006 by defeating reigning undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. Il était un membre de la 2008 Russian Olympic boxing team and finished his amateur career with a record of 300-12. He enters this fight with four straight victories, having most recently scored a unanimous decision over Jonathan Batista.

WILLIE MONROE JR. TRAINING CAMP QUOTES
Middleweight Contender Willie Monroe Jr. Talks Upcoming Showdown Against Jermall Charlo Saturday, Décembre 22 in Premier Boxing
Champions on FOX & FOX Deportes Action from Barclays Center in
Brooklyn I’m in my stable now and I’m ready to come flying out of the
gate on December 22,” – Monroe

ROCHESTER,New York. (Décembre 4, 2018) – Middleweight contender and former title challenger Willie Jr Monroe. discussed his upcoming contest against WBC Interim Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo as he prepares to enter the ring in Premier Boxing Champions action Saturday, Décembre 22 live on FOX and FOX Deportes from Barclays Center, la maison de BROOKLYN BOXE ™.

With fight night approaching, Monroe is hard at work in his hometown of Rochester,New York. Along with his coach Timothy Nolan, Monroe believes he is on track to deliver a great performance against an unbeaten opponent.

Everything in camp right now is on point and moving forward,” said Monroe.We’re getting the work we need each day. We know how to run a camp smoothly. If I can’t tell anything is wrong, then it’s going great.

A veteran of two middleweight world title contests against Gennady Golovkin and Billy Joe Saunders, Monroe has had his eye on a Charlo matchup to once again prove himself against an elite middleweight.

I’ve always watched Jermall’s fights because I have an eye on anyone around my weight class,” dit Monroe. “Over the last year or so I’ve started to think I’m really going to get this fight and I’m excited about it coming to fruition on December 22.

He’s considered one of the top middleweights and it makes this a great match. This time I’m going to have a full training camp like I didn’t get to have for Golovkin and Saunders and it’s going to help me.

While he doesn’t possess the prodigious knockout power of his opponent, Monroe is more than confident that his other ring attributes will make up for that difference.

We’re both at the top of the division and you don’t get this far without having a lot of physical ability,” dit Monroe. “This fight isn’t about who’s the fastest and strongest though, it’s about how we’re going to execute. I’m not focused on who hits harder but who hits smarter. That’s always going to determine who wins a boxing match.

Boxing is about intelligence first and everything follows after that. Will I be able to execute and make Jermall uncomfortable? We’ll see what happens on fight night. I’m going to be ready though. I’m in my stable now and I’m ready to come flying out of the gate on December 22.

Charlo was serving as color commentator for Monroe’s August fight on FS1 and since then the two have gone face-to-face at two separate press events leading up to fight night. With fight week looming, Monroe believes the frequent face time will make an even more exciting fight.

I’m definitely more eager to fight from seeing Jermall over and over again,” dit Monroe. “The little things that you pick up in person tend to make you want to fight even more. You see the opponent and you build it up more in your head and use it for motivation. I think it’s going to make it even more entertaining when we finally get in there.

Tickets for the show, which is being promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with DiBella Entertainment, commencer à $50 and are on sale now.
