Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

ΛΟΣ ΑΝΤΖΕΛΕΣ (Απρίλιος 24, 2025) -3 Point Management (3 PM) has announced the signing of undefeated Russian middleweight Petr “The Surgeon” Khamukov (13-0, 6 KOs), one of the most accomplished Russian amateur boxers, σε μια αποκλειστική σύμβαση διαχείρισης.

Now residing in Woodland Hills (ΟΠΩΣ), Khamukov is a promotional free agent who is trained by Danny Salazar. Khamukov had 350 amateur matches, represented his native country in the 2016 Olympics – the only Russian to qualify for the same Olympics in two weights classes (middleweight and light heavyweight) – and he captured gold medals at the 2015 European Championships and 2016 Russian National Championships.

Khamukov, 33, has had a difficult time securing significant fights, which is the primary reason he decided to sign with 3 PM. His last fight was last May, in which Petr stopped Esau Herrera de la Cruz (21-16-1) στον τρίτο γύρο.

“I saw the situation at 3 PM,” Khamukov explained why he signed with 3 PM. “I want to be world champion; they want to add another world champion to its team. Their desire to help me is why I signed. I hope to come back, probably in May, and my goal is to be ranked in the top 10 by the end of this year. I want to be world champion and won’t stop until I succeed.”

A self-described old-school, classic boxer, Khamukov came to the United States to enhance his pro boxing career, saying Russia is not as focused on pro boxing as in the United States, noting that the amateur boxing program back home remains strong.

Khamukov joins the growing 3 Point Management (3 PM)  stable of gifted boxers including WBA & WBO Cruiserweight World Champion/Ring Magazine No. 1 rated Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (47-1, 30 KOs), former WBC World Light Heavyweight Champion/WBC No. 4 rated Oleksandr “Nails” Gvozdyk (20-2, 16 KOs), world super flyweight title challenger/WBO No. 1 rated John “Scrappy” Ramirez (14-1, 9 KOs), WBA #4 rated super middleweight Darius “DFG” Fulgham (14-0, 12 KOs), former WBA Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight Champion Kareem “Supreme” Hackett (12-1, 6 KOs) and German junior welterweight Simon “Saucy” Vollmer (7-0, 3 KOs).

Salazar realizes he’s training a future star, one who only needs a break in terms of having major fights against name opponents.

“His 350 amateur matches mean he has a lot of experience,” Salazar noted. “We just added a little American and Mexican styles. He can fight in any way. He’s such a technician, eager to learn, and never says no when we tell him to do something. He’s more than ready for 10-round fights, but nobody wants to fight him at 160. We can go down to junior middleweight for the proper fight, but he’s ready for anybody at 160. We just haven’t been able to get those fights and that’s why we’re with 3 PM. We’ll continue to work on the basics, but what he needs are fights. Nobody wants to fight Petr!"

“The Surgeon” is prepared to operate on the elite of the world middleweights.

“Sebastian Fundora sits atop the stacked super welterweight division and will no doubt be looking to put on a show when he defends his world titles against the dangerous highly-rated contender Chordale Booker topping this great event on Prime Video on March 22,” said Tom Brown, Πρόεδρος της TGB Προσφορές. “This is a tremendous style matchup between the forward-charging attack of Fundora and the slick counterpunching of Booker and will make for great back-and-forth. Combined with a surefire action fight between Jesus Ramos Jr. and Kevin Salgado and a toss-up fight between Elijah Garcia and Terrell Gausha, everything is in place for another memorable fight night in Las Vegas.”

“Sebastian ‘The Towering Inferno’ Fundora will be better than ever in his first fight as a defending unified world champion,»Είπε ο Sampson Lewkowicz του Sampson Boxing. “The whole Fundora family works so hard to be where they are and they deserve their success. Chordale Booker is a good fighter with real skills, but he won’t be able to take Sebastian’s power.”

**SEBASTIAN FUNDORA VS. CHORDALE BOOKER**

Standing nearly six-foot-six, Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora leapt into the championship ranks after earning a decision over Tim Tszyu last year, and will now defend his WBC and WBO 154-pound world titles against the WBO No. 5-ranked and WBC No. 14-ranked super welterweight contender in Chordale Booker as they top the March 22 event in a 12-round attraction.

Fundora (21-1-1, 13 KOs) rocketed to the top of the super welterweight division with a fan-friendly style and bruising toughness in the ring that helped him emerge victorious from a grueling and bloody battle against Tszyu last March. A native of Coachella, Καλιφόρνια, Fundora notably showed his mettle in April 2022, battling the hard-hitting Erickson Lubin in an instant 2022 Fight of the Year contender. Despite both men hitting the canvas, Fundora stood tall in the end, prompting Lubin’s corner to stop the fight at the end of the ninth round.

The 27-year-old has defeated a slew of contenders throughout his career, with his only defeat coming to Brian Mendoza in 2023. Fundora represents one of boxing’s most accomplished families, as he is trained by his father Freddy alongside his younger sister, undisputed flyweight world champion Gabriela. The two fighting Fundora’s are the first brother and sister to simultaneously hold world championships.

“I’m preparing really hard to defend my unified WBC and WBO world titles on March 22 στο Λας Βέγκας,” said Fundora. “Everyone can expect to see me prepared and ready to leave it all in the ring like I always do. ‘The Towering Inferno’ is back, and I’m coming to take out everyone in my way.”

Fighting out of his native Stamford, Κονέκτικατ, Booker (23-1, 11 KOs) enters this fight on a six-fight winning streak that includes four stoppage victories that have helped him rise up the rankings and earn his first world title opportunity. Since a 2022 loss to Austin Williams, Booker has dominated his competition, συμπεριλαμβανομένου ενός 2024 campaign that saw him defeat veteran contender Greg Vendetti in February before stopping Brian Damian Chaves in round three of their June clash.

The 33-year-old also owns triumphs over a litany of tough contenders including Wale Omotoso and VeShawn Owens. Prior to turning pro in 2016, Booker put together a sensational amateur career that included gold medals at the U.S. National and Golden Gloves championships, in addition to a bronze medal at the U.S. Olympic trials that earned him an alternate spot for the 2016 Η.Π.Α.. Ολυμπιακή ομάδα.

“I’ve done everything I could to get here, and it’s a testament to what my foundation represents – going the distance,” said Booker. “I’ve gone the distance to make it to this fight. I’ve taken fights on short notice, fought for less and always kept pushing forward. Τώρα, 15 years into my boxing journey, I’m stepping into the biggest fight of my life. This moment means everything and it’s proof that hard work and perseverance pays off.”

**JESUS RAMOS JR. VS. KEVIN SALGADO**

In the 10-round co-main event, one of the sport’s brightest rising Mexican stars will return to action as Jesus Ramos Jr. looks to continue his climb up the stacked 154-pound division when he battles the all-action contender Kevin Salgado in an explosive all-Mexican battle. After coming up on the wrong end of a contested decision against top contender Erickson Lubin in September 2023, Ράμος (22-1, 18 KOs) has returned in style with back-to-back stoppages. Most recently he blasted out the former unified champion Jeison Rosario in the eight-round of their February 1 ταιριάξει.

A native of Casa Grande, Αριζόνα., Ramos had worked his way up the rankings by defeating a slew of contenders including Brian Mendoza, Javier Molina, Vladimir Hernandez and an emphatic stoppage of the then-unbeaten Joey Spencer. Trained by his father Jesus Sr., and the nephew of veteran contender Abel, the 23-year-old Ramos entered the Lubin fighting having stopped seven of his last 10 αντιπάλους.

“I’m thrilled to be stepping back into the ring on March 22,” said Ramos. “One of my main goals this year was to increase my activity and this opportunity aligns perfectly with that ambition. Kevin Salgado is a formidable fighter known for his resilience and determination, and that should make for an electrifying night of boxing. Coming off an extended training camp, my conditioning is at its peak. Now our primary focus is to develop a strategic game plan tailored to Salgado’s unique style so that we can secure the victory.”

Με καταγωγή από την Πόλη του Μεξικού, Salgado (17-2-1, 10 KOs) is the younger brother of former super featherweight champion Juan Carlos Salgado and now fights out of San Antonio, Τέξας. Salgado enters this with two consecutive stoppage victories following an April 2023 decision loss to Elijah Garcia. The 27-year-old turned pro in late 2016 and delivered knockouts in six of his first nine outings. After scoring three-straight knockouts between September 2019 and February 2021, Salgado returned to the ring in October 2021 to defeat Ricardo Banuelos Cernas by unanimous decision before fighting Bryant Perrella to a split-draw in his U.S. debut in April.

Salgado bounced back from a September 2022 defeat to Joey Spencer by knocking out Gilberto Flores in the first round of their December 2022 clash.

“This is an important opportunity and I’m coming to make the most of it,” said Salgado. “I have a strong opponent, but I’m going to be the best version of myself when the fight comes. Τον Μάρτιο του 22 I will do whatever it takes to get my hand raised.”

**ELIJAH GARCIA VS. TERRELL GAUSHA**

The opening attraction will see the return of a rising star in the 21-year-old Elijah Garcia, who seeks to bounce back from his first career defeat and return to his championship trajectory in a 10-round middleweight fight against the always tough veteran Terrell Gausha, who has stood up to a litany of top fighters throughout his career.

Fighting out of Phoenix, Αριζόνα, García (16-1, 13 KOs) steps back into the ring after dropping a close split-decision last June against middleweight contender Kyrone Davis. Garcia had previously burst onto the scene as a teenager by earning three impressive victories in 2023. He kicked off that memorable campaign in March with a knockout of the previously unbeaten Amilcar Vida and followed that up with a pair of performances on the undercards of two of the biggest events of the year.

He first defeated Kevin Salgado on the Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia pay-per-view in April before knocking out Armando Resendiz on the Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo pay-per-view in September. The precocious García has moved fast since turning pro in 2020 and knocked out seven of his last nine opponents heading into the Davis fight.

“I’m not just ready for this fight, I’m ready to dominate,»Είπε η Γκαρσία. “I’m excited to get back in the ring and unleash everything I’ve been working on in camp. The addition of Bob Santos and his knowledge and wisdom that he’s shared with our team is a game changer. His expertise and guidance are going to take us to new heights and propel us to the next level. We’re not just looking to win, we’re looking to make a statement.”

Ένα μέλος της 2012 Η.Π.Α.. Ολυμπιακή ομάδα, Gausha (24-4-1, 12 KOs) was born in Cleveland, Ohio but now fights out of Encino, California and is trained by the renowned Manny Robles. He most recently dropped a competitive decision to reigning WBC Middleweight World Champion Carlos Adames in their June 2024 πάλη παγκόσμιου τίτλου.

Prior to facing Adames, Gausha had won back-to-back bouts as he knocked out Brandyn Lynch in March 2023 before winning a decision over KeAndrae Leatherwood in September of that year. Gausha has faced top competition throughout his career, having fought former champion Austin Trout to a draw in 2019 in addition to decision losses against WBA Middleweight World Champion Erislandy Lara, former world champion Tim Tszyu and top contender Erickson Lubin.

“I’m excited to get back in the mix,” said Gausha. “I’m always working and staying ready for any opportunity. Τον Μάρτιο του 22 people will know why I’ve been at this level for so long. I’m going to make a statement for sure.”

“Granite Chin Box Off” to launch May 11ου

4-fighter, 1-night super middleweight tournament

“Rumble at the Rink” at Quincy Youth Arena in Quincy, ΜΑ

poster.jpg

QUINCY, Μάζα. (Μάρτιος 26, 2024) – Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) has announced the launching of its innovative one-night tournament, “Granite Chin Box Off,” on Saturday night, Μάιος 11, featuring a quartet of throw-back super middleweight fighters from New England headlining the “Rumble at the Rink” pro boxing card, at Quincy Youth Arena in Quincy, Μασαχουσέτη.

The quartet of super middleweights will fight in three-round bouts (4ου round of sudden death if needed in case of a draw) early in the evening and the two winners will advance to the five-round main event (6ου round of sudden death in the event of a draw) to determine the champion of what promoter Chris Traietti plans to be an annual tournament, which has been sanctioned by the Massachusetts Boxing Commission.

All four fighters are aggressive and gutsy who come to fight, which translates into a memorable evening for fans.

“This tournament has been an idea I have been flirting with since 2021,” GCP president Chris Traietti said. “I didn’t want to pull the trigger on it until I felt as though I had some of the initial concerns worked out and I had the right four guys. It has all come together now! There is no combination of fights with these four that won’t be action-packed right from the opening bell. This is something Granite Chin plans to do annually, so once this inaugural tournament is complete, we will assess it to see if any improvements are needed to get one ready for 2025. Thank you to the fighters for their passion in being part of something special like this and the Massachusetts Commission for all its help in navigating me to getting all the safety issues addressed and handled so it could be sanctioned.”

Here is a breakdown of the four “Granite Chin Box Off” challengers:

James “Pitbull” Perkins (13-1-1, 9 KOs), Λιν, ΜΑ

Perkins is the pre-tournament favorite based on his pro record and quality of opposition. A gravedigger during the day, Perkins suffered his lone loss last August to Steve Sumpter (9-0, 7 KOs), losing an eight-round majority decision for the vacant IBA America Super Middleweight Championship.

“I’m really looking forward to this event. I’ve always wanted to fight in a tournament because I never fought in the Golden Gloves or any amateur tournaments. I decided to turn pro after my sixth amateur fight. It’s even better that the event is being held at a hockey rink because I grew up my whole life playing hockey. I started skating at two years old and played all the way through high school (St. Mary’s of Lynn).

“I’m prepared to deal with whatever comes at me. I know who all the fighters are, but I know Clark a lot more than the other fighters. Me and Clark have fought on the same card a number of times. I like Clark and he’s a tough guy, but if we end up in the ring together, it will be all business. We won’t be friends when we are in there. At the end of the night, I’m very confident I’ll be the winner of the tournament.”

Anthony “The Gentle Savage” Andreozzi (5-3, 2 KOs), Σουάνσι, ΜΑ

A former Massachusetts Middleweight Champion, Andreozzi has recovered from a brutal leg/ankle injury suffered more than a year ago, returning this past February 24ου within a second-round knockout of Igor Pessoa.

“It’s (τουρνουά) breaking boundaries for sure. It’s the type of tournament where emotional control will be important. You can’t blow your load in the first round of the first fight and still expect to succeed. I have a few hundred wrestling matches and over a dozen karate matches. I’m used to the emotional control necessary to effectively do violence twice in one night. Δεν μπορώ να περιμένω!

“Ryan Clark is a great guy. We’ve done rounds before my fight with Kyle Cusick (Απρίλιος 22, 2022). Perkins went six hard rounds with a former teammate of mine. Bernard seems like a good dude, so nothing personal against him.”

Bernard Joseph (6-1, 4 KOs), Dorchester, ΜΑ

Joseph has won his last two fights and has been active with four fights in 2023 and this will be his second of 2024. The 33-year-old will also have a hometown advantage fighting in nearby Quincy.

“It is different (tournament format), but it comes down to the way we train. I do a lot of sparring and that will be good for me. It comes down to training and getting my body used to the break like in sparring. I could be fighting four rounds and then six.

“I’m a pro now, fighting six rounders, but not with a long pause between fights like in this tournament. It will give me time to rehydrate and get ready for the second fight of the night. I’ve seen video of all the other fighters and I’m not bad-mouthing anybody, but I can’t not feel that I’m the favorite to win it all.”

Ryan Clark (4-5, 2 KOs), Barrington, ME

A natural middleweight, Clark is moving up the most weight in the tournament, something he is well aware of but not overly concerned. Another action-packed fighter, Clark’s record is misleading because he’s as tough as they come and capable of defeating any of the other three challengers.

“It’s (τουρνουά) is a great idea. Chris (Traietti) is a smart guy, and this tournament will provide entertainment for the fans, and it’ll be a challenge for the fighters. I applaud his idea. I typically fight at 160 and this tournament has me fighting in a little bigger weight class. I like the challenge.

“I know Tony and Perkins and I respect them. They’re talented. Αυτό (τουρνουά) is similar to sparring. I spar five or six rounds, hang around talking, get in some other training, and then get back in the ring to spar again. This isn’t too different.”

Additional matches will soon be announced.

“After the disappointment surrounding the cancellation of Connor’s fight in England, we wanted to find a good opportunity,” said Coyle’s promoter Jody Caliguire of Fire Fist Boxing Promotions. “The WBA Centennial Convention is a great event and Connor loves fighting at the Carribe Royale because he’s got a big fan base in Central Florida. He’s already back in the US preparing with Jim McLaughlin for this fight and is planning to put on a great show December 11.”

The card is promoted by Boxlab Promotions.

More information on the card including ticket and broadcast details will be announced shortly.

Turkish super middleweight prospect Cem “Champ” Kilic living the American Dream Headlining this Thursday in Montebello, ΟΠΩΣ, steaming live on UFC FIGHT PASS

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο
Kilic celebrating.jpg
LAS VEGAS (Μάρτιος 9, 2022) – What a long, strange trip it’s been for Turkish super middleweight prospect Cem “Champ” Kilic, part of a growing 3 Point Management (3 PM) σταθερός, resettling in California from Germany despite the pandemic, to headline this Thursday night’s “Hollywood Fight Nights, presented by 360 Προσφορές, at Quiet Cannon Country Club in Montebello, Καλιφόρνια.

The 27-year-old Kilic faces Andrew “Hurricane” Hernandez (21-8-2, 9 KOs) in the 8-round main event, which will be streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®.


A member of the Turkish National Boxing Team, Kilic moved eight years ago from Germany to Sherman Oaks, Καλιφόρνια, where he still resides. A native of Germany whose family comes from Turkey, Kilic showed tremendous courage simply by relocating halfway around the world with a mere $200 in his pockets, as well as the inability to speak English other than a few words.


“I still spend a lot of time at home,” Kilic remarked. “During the pandemic, I lived with my family in Germany, and I have a lot of family in Turkey. It was very rough growing up. I had always dreamed of living in the United States from watching movies. I wanted to do something different. I’m a big fan of Hollywood movies. Muhammad Ali is my idol and that’s another reason I wanted to come here to box.


“I didn’t speak English when I first came to America, only basics, and nobody I met here spoke German or Turkish. but I learned English watching old movies and using Google translator. I learned quicky, αν και, and was comfortable speaking English in six months. And now I live only 10-minutes from Hollywood.”


Kilic hit rock bottom after suffering his first loss January 11, 2020, να 15-0 Steve Nelson in Atlantic City, in which his corner threw in the towel midway through the eighth round due to several facial cuts. The fight was for the vacant North American Boxing Organization (ΓΕΙΤΟΝΑΣ) τίτλος. Cem took time off in the U.S. during the pandemic.


“Everything was closed,” he explained. “I put on weight and become even more depressed. I let myself go after my first loss. My wife said I needed to get back in shape, so I watched a training video on YouTube and, at first, I couldn’t get through the warmup. But I slowly got in shape and that fueled my interest again in boxing. I didn’t have a promoter and I separated from my manager and trainer. I was trained by a friend and went up to Abel Sanchez’ place in Big Bear and got some good work. I sparred a lot of champions: Jermell Charlo, (Gilberto) ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez, Callum Smith, and David Benavidez.”


Kilic action.jpg
(L) Cem Kilic is a fighter’s fighter


A self-described aggressive fighter with a warrior mentality, Kilic says the late Arturo Gatti was one of his favorite fighters, who he emulates in terms of style. Cem has watched the Gatti-(Micky) Ward trilogy about 20 φορές, which led him into boxing as a career.

“I knew about Gatti, but I really got into boxing after watching his fights with Micky Ward,” Kilic fondly remembered. “They were so tough, and I love the way they fought. They were throwback fighters to the ’40 and ‘50s.”


The current Team Kilic was formed after his only loss. He is trained by 4-time, 2-division World champion Brian Viloria, in addition to being managed (3PM), which also manages 43-0 “Zurdo” Ramirez, the former World Super Middleweight Champion, presently the top-ranked World light heavyweight contender.


“I knew Brian and met him at Brickhouse,” Kilic explained. “One day I told my strength-and-conditioning coach I needed a new coach and asked him to talk to Brian about me. I liked Brian and knew he was a world champion with a lot of knowledge. We’ve only worked together for one fight, but I’ve improved in a lot of ways.


“I was waiting for an opportunity to sign with a manager and did with 3PM. The guys are great and I’m much more motivated than before. It’s been amazing.”


Kilic is prepared to display his development under Viloria and 3PM this Thursday night against Hernandez. “I can’t wait,” Kilic concluded. “He has fought some good names (Ο Caleb φυτών, Jesse Hart, Ali Akhmedov, Ahmed Elbiali, Patrick Teixeira, and Arif Magomedov). I always prepare to go the full distance. I never go into a fight looking for a knockout, but I look for openings.”


Cem “Champ” Kilic is truly living the American Dream, especially because of the support he has from his new team members.

Eddy reynoso, Ο εκπαιδευτής και ο διευθυντής του Canelo, και τον Justin Gamber, Εκπαιδευτής του φυτού, ενώθηκαν με τους μαχητές τους στη σκηνή στην εκδήλωση στο Μπέβερλι Χιλς. Ιδού τι είπαν οι συμμετέχοντες στη συνέντευξη τύπου την Τρίτη:

CANELO ÁLVAREZ

«Δεν είσαι στο επίπεδό μου και θα το δεις τον Νοέμβριο 6. Δεν θέλεις να τσακωθείς τώρα, Σας υπόσχομαι.

«Προερχόμαστε από το τίποτα και δουλέψαμε σκληρά για να είμαστε εδώ. Για να πει κάποιος ψέματα και να μιλάει για μας, που αναστάτωσε τον Έντι. Είναι αυτό που είναι όμως. Απλώς πρέπει να δείξουμε σε όλους ποιος είμαστε τον Νοέμβριο 6.

«Ο Caleb μπορεί να βρίσκεται στο ίδιο επίπεδο με τον Billy Joe Saunders και τον Callum Smith, αλλά δεν είναι στο επίπεδό μου. Σέβομαι που δεν είναι εδώ για να κάνει πίσω. Μπορείτε να δείτε από σήμερα ότι σίγουρα πρόκειται να είναι ένας καλός αγώνας.

«Ξέρω τι πρέπει να κάνω και γνωρίζω πολλά γι 'αυτόν. Είναι καλός μαχητής, αλλά ξέρω τις ικανότητές μου. Η εμπειρία μου θα μου δώσει το πλεονέκτημα στον αγώνα. Αντιμετώπισα παρόμοια στυλ με το Caleb’s ενάντια στον Floyd Mayweather, Erislandy Λάρα, Austin Trout and Saunders.

«Είναι ένα ανασφαλές άτομο και γι’ αυτό ήρθε με πολλές δικαιολογίες για πολλά πράγματα. Δεν με νοιάζει όμως. Απλώς θα κάνω ό, τι καλύτερο μπορώ τον Νοέμβριο 6 και να κερδίσει τον αγώνα.

«Το να είσαι αδιαμφισβήτητος είναι ιστορία για το Μεξικό και για όλους στην ομάδα μου. Το να είμαι ο αδιαμφισβήτητος πρωταθλητής είναι ένα σπουδαίο πράγμα για την καριέρα μου.

Στη συμπλοκή επί σκηνής: «Μπορείς να μου πεις οτιδήποτε, αλλά όχι στη μαμά μου. Θα παλέψω με όποιον πει κάτι για τη μαμά μου. Και στριφογύρισε πρώτος. Απλώς τον έσπρωξα. Κουνήθηκε πρώτος, και κάνω αυτό που κάνω. Πέρασε τα όρια.

«Θα τελειώσει σε οκτώ γύρους ή λιγότερο. Θα βγάλω νοκ άουτ αυτόν τον τύπο. Ανετα."

CALEB ΦΥΤΩΝ

«Γνωρίζω μόνο ένα πράγμα καλύτερα από το να αποδείξω ότι οι άνθρωποι έχουν δίκιο, και αυτό αποδεικνύει στους ανθρώπους ότι κάνουν λάθος. Το κάνω όλη μου τη ζωή. Μόλις ανέβηκα στη σκηνή, οι άνθρωποι άρχισαν να μιλούν για αυτά που δεν μπορώ να καταφέρω και για αυτά που δεν μπορώ να κάνω. Όταν έρχομαι από, δεν υπάρχει κοινότητα πυγμαχίας. Δεν υπήρχε άλλος επαγγελματίας που θα μπορούσα να κοιτάξω και να το πω αν μπορεί να το κάνει, τότε μπορώ να το κάνω. Το μόνο που είχα ήταν το μυαλό μου και η καρδιά μου.

«Δεν το κάνω για να γίνω διάσημος ή για να τραβήξω την προσοχή. Όταν πρωτοξεκίνησα, ήμουν μόνο εγώ και ο μπαμπάς μου. Κανείς δεν πίστευε ότι θα στεκόμουν εδώ σήμερα. Μπορώ να τον θυμηθώ και ο παππούς μου μάζεψε λίγα χρήματα για να ανοίξει ένα μικρό γυμναστήριο πυγμαχίας. Υπήρχε μόνο μια βαριά τσάντα κρεμασμένη στη γωνία. Όταν όμως πραγματικά θέλεις κάτι, δεν χρειάζεσαι όλα τα φανταχτερά πράγματα. Χρειάζεσαι μόνο το μυαλό και την καρδιά σου.

«Ξέρω ότι οι άνθρωποι δεν με πιστεύουν όταν τους λέω ότι κερδίζω τον Νοέμβριο 6. Όλοι αυτοί οι άνθρωποι που μου λένε ότι δεν μπορώ να κάνω κάτι, ζείτε αξιόπιστες ζωές και κάνετε πιστευτά πράγματα. Υποσχέθηκα στον εαυτό μου ότι θα το τρέξω μέχρι την κορυφή, χωρίς πρόβλημα να συντρίβεται και να καίγεται στην πορεία. Ξεκίνησα να ζήσω μια απίστευτη ζωή και να πετύχω απίστευτα πράγματα. Αυτοί οι άνθρωποι που αμφιβάλλουν για μένα είναι ο λόγος που είμαι εδώ.

«Ο αδερφός του Miguel Cotto μπορεί να σε κάνει να χορέψεις κοτόπουλο, αλλά εγώ όχι? Καλά. σημείωσε τα λόγια μου, Νοεμβρίου 6 θα ακούσεις τις λέξεις, «Και ο νέος αδιαμφισβήτητος πρωταθλητής σούπερ μεσαίου βάρους,»Αλλά θα ακούσετε και τις λέξεις, «Και ακόμα αήττητος».

«Το να είσαι αδιαμφισβήτητος θα σημαίνει πολλά. Έχω θυσιάσει τόσα πολλά σε αυτό το άθλημα και το κάνω εδώ και πολύ καιρό. Όλη αυτή η δουλειά θα κατέληγε σε μια στιγμή. Θέλω το όνομά μου σε αυτά τα βιβλία ιστορίας και αυτός είναι ο μόνος λόγος που βρίσκομαι εδώ.

Στη συμπλοκή επί σκηνής: «Είχαμε απλώς ένα κανονικό μπάχαλο μπρος-πίσω εκεί πάνω και μετά ό, τι συνέβη, συνέβη. Δεν με απασχολεί πάντως. Είμαι συγκεντρωμένος και κλειδωμένος στις 6 Νοεμβρίου ».

Eddy Reynoso, Ο εκπαιδευτής και ο διευθυντής του Canelo

«Νομίζω ότι αυτός θα είναι ένας μεγάλος αγώνας, ένα όπου ενοποιούμε το τμήμα των 168 λιβρών. Όπως κάνουμε σε κάθε αγώνα, θα δουλέψουμε σκληρά στο γυμναστήριο. Δουλεύαμε πάντα σκληρά στο γυμναστήριο.

“Είμαι λίγο αναστατωμένος από το πώς εξελίχθηκαν τα πράγματα σήμερα, αλλά στο τέλος θα τακτοποιήσουμε τα πράγματα στο ρινγκ τον Νοέμβριο 6.

“Η προσβλητική γλώσσα είναι αυτό που μας προσέβαλε περισσότερο. Είμαστε άνθρωποι με σεβασμό, και προχωράμε από εδώ με το κεφάλι ψηλά. Τώρα θα προπονηθούμε καλά, κερδίστε τον αγώνα και δείτε τι θα ακολουθήσει μετά από αυτό.


«Υπάρχουν πολλοί άνθρωποι που λένε πράγματα στα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης αλλά μετά δεν εμφανίζονται. Μερικοί άνθρωποι θέλουν να καταρρίψουν μια ολόκληρη χώρα και έναν σπουδαίο αθλητή που εκπροσωπεί τη χώρα του. Μιλούν πολλά σκουπίδια. Πρέπει να δουλέψεις σκληρά όμως. Πρέπει να έχεις κότσια για να δουλέψεις τόσο σκληρά όσο εμείς ».

ΤΖΟΥΣΤΙΝ ΓΚΑΜΠΕΡ, Plant’s Trainer

«Θέλω να ευχαριστήσω ολόκληρη την ομάδα μας που πίστεψε σε εμάς και μας έδωσε αυτόν τον αγώνα που θέλαμε και αυτή την ευκαιρία να γράψουμε ιστορία. Beenταν ιδρώτας αίματος και δάκρυα, κυριολεκτικά, να φτάσω εδώ. Beenταν ένα μακρύ ταξίδι. Αυτός ο αγώνας δεν αφορά χρήματα, πρόκειται για την κληρονομιά.

"Σε 1996, όταν ήμουν 15 χρονών, ο αγαπημένος μου μαχητής ήταν ο παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής IBF Super Middleweight Roy Jones Jr. Κάθε θαυμαστής τότε λαχταρούσε έναν αδιαμφισβήτητο πρωταθλητή στα 168 κιλά και τώρα εκπαιδεύω τον πρωταθλητή IBF και θα παλέψουμε για όλα τα μάρμαρα.

«Συντονιστείτε τον Νοέμβριο 6 και θα δείτε τον πρώτο αδιαμφισβήτητο πρωταθλητή σούπερ μεσαίου βάρους στον κόσμο και είναι από το Τενεσί. Οτιδήποτε συνέβη σήμερα σε αυτήν τη συνέντευξη Τύπου θα μας ωθήσει και θα μας δώσει περισσότερη πείνα.

Τομ Μπράουν, Πρόεδρος της TGB Προσφορές

«Χρειάστηκαν μερικές προσπάθειες, αλλά εδώ είμαστε σήμερα με το αδιαμφισβήτητο πρωτάθλημα super middleweight τον Νοέμβριο 6. Είναι πραγματικά χαρά να συνεργάζομαι με τους συνεργάτες του δικτύου μας στο SHOWTIME για αυτήν την εκδήλωση. Το SHOWTIME έχει μακρά ιστορία συμμετοχής στα μεγαλύτερα και σημαντικότερα γεγονότα του αθλήματος και αυτό συνεχίζεται με αυτόν τον αγώνα.

«Είναι τιμή μου να συνεργάζομαι με τον βασιλιά Canelo vlvarez, Ο Eddy Reynoso και όλοι με τις Canelo Promotions. Είμαι επίσης ενθουσιασμένος που θα δουλέψω ξανά με όλους στην ομάδα Plant. Προώθησα το επαγγελματικό ντεμπούτο του Κάλεμπ στο 2014 και είναι υπέροχο να τον βλέπεις εδώ σήμερα σε αυτή τη θέση.

«Ο Κανέλο κατέχει τρεις τίτλους, ενώ ο Κάλεμπ κατέχει τον τέταρτο τίτλο στη κατηγορία των 168 λιβρών. Θα παλέψουν για να γίνουν ο πρώτος αδιαμφισβήτητος πρωταθλητής στην εποχή των τεσσάρων ζωνών. Η ιστορία θα γραφτεί τον Νοέμβριο 6 στο MGM Grand Garden Arena στο Λας Βέγκας ».

STEPHEN Εσπινόζα, Πρόεδρος, Αθλητισμός SHOWTIME

«Το 2021 ήταν μια εκπληκτική χρονιά για την πυγμαχία SHOWTIME. Είναι ένα από τα πιο παραγωγικά μας χρόνια στην πρόσφατη μνήμη. Το SHOWTIME παραδόθηκε 17 ζωντανά γεγονότα πυγμαχίας μέχρι στιγμής φέτος, με πολλά ακόμη να έρθουν. Οκτώ αγώνες παγκοσμίου πρωταθλήματος, πολλαπλές ενοποιήσεις παγκόσμιου τίτλου και τώρα δύο αγώνες για τον αδιαμφισβήτητο τίτλο, καθώς μια πολύ καλή χρονιά για το SHOWTIME γίνεται μια εξαιρετική χρονιά για το SHOWTIME. Το SHOWTIME είναι το σπίτι των μεγάλων αγώνων. Είναι το πιο αξιόπιστο και μακροβιότερο δίκτυο στην πυγμαχία. Δεν υπάρχει άλλο δίκτυο που να κάνει πιο ουσιαστική ή πιο σημαντική δέσμευση στο άθλημα της πυγμαχίας. Είμαστε το σπίτι των μεγαλύτερων και καλύτερων αγώνων της πυγμαχίας.

«Είμαστε υπερήφανοι που καλωσορίζουμε τον Canelo vlvarez πίσω στο SHOWTIME. Καλωσορίζουμε επίσης τον Caleb Plant για το ντεμπούτο του στο SHOWTIME. Wasταν σχεδόν εννέα χρόνια πριν - Σεπτέμβριος 15, 2012 - ότι ο Canelo έκανε το ντεμπούτο του στο SHOWTIME σε έναν συναρπαστικό αγώνα ενάντια στον Josesito Lopez. Εννέα χρόνια είναι πολύς καιρός. Αυτός ήταν ένας πολύ νέος Canelo Álvarez και ένας πολύ νέος Eddy Reynoso. Αυτό ξεκίνησε μια εντυπωσιακή πορεία αγώνων στους οποίους ο Canelo απέδειξε την προθυμία του, επιθυμία και απαίτηση να πάρουν τους πιο σκληρούς αγώνες που υπάρχουν. Μαζί πίσω 2013, κάναμε ένα ρεκόρ εκείνη τη στιγμή για τη μεγαλύτερη αμοιβή ανά προβολή όλων των εποχών, καθώς βοηθήσαμε να ξεκινήσει ο Canelo ως το νεότερο αστέρι pay-per-view της πυγμαχίας. Τώρα εννέα χρόνια αργότερα, είμαστε περήφανοι που τον καλωσορίζουμε πίσω για αυτόν τον μεγάλο αγώνα ».

Κάντε κλικ ΕΔΩ for Photos; Πίστωση: Esther Lin/Showtime

HOUSTON – May 18, 2021 - Unbeaten WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo and hard-hitting 160-pound contender Juan Macias Montiel met face-to-face for the first time Tuesday during a kick-off press conference as they preview the main event of a special Juneteenth Day celebration in Charlo’s hometown of Houston Saturday, Ιούνιος 19 at Toyota Center headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event live on SHOWTIME.

Charlo has established himself as a force in two divisions and will seek to thrill his hometown crowd against Mexico’s Montiel in a first-of-its-kind Juneteenth Day boxing celebration. Ο Charlo θα αγωνιστεί στο Χιούστον για τέταρτη φορά ως επαγγελματίας και θα προσπαθήσει να διατηρήσει ανέπαφο το αήττητο ρεκόρ του απέναντι στον αναστατωμένο Montiel.

SHOWTIME ΠΡΩΤΑΘΛΗΜΑ ΠΥΓΜΑΧΙΑΣ θα ξεκινήσει στις 9 μ.μ. ET / 6 μ.μ.. PT και χαρακτηριστικό ανερχόμενο ελαφρύ υποψήφιο Ισαάκ Κρουζ μάχεται πρώην παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Francisco Vargas στο 10-γύρο co-main event. Έναρξη της τηλεοπτικής μετάδοσης, πρώην παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Άγγελος Λέων επιστρέφει για να αντιμετωπίσει τον Μεξικανό υποψήφιο Aaron Alameda σε μια 10-στρογγυλή έξοχο bantamweight αγώνα.

Here is what Charlo, Montiel and their trainers had to say Tuesday:

Charlo JERMALL:

“Ιούνιος 19, πρόκειται να είναι πυροτεχνήματα. A parade. A celebration. Me and Ronnie Shields get a chance to do it again. Δουλεύω σκληρά. I was working hard before I even knew who Montiel was. Αυτή τη φορά, you get a chance to see all the hard work I’ve put in for so many years. It’s a dream come true to be able to fight in my city and I get a chance to do it with a crowd. Tune in and get your tickets because it’s going to be a great night of boxing.

“There’s no better day to fight than Juneteenth. It’s a celebration for me and my people and I get to represent them and carry them on my back. To be able to do it for my city right here at the Toyota Center – it’s going to be an amazing night of boxing.

“Montiel is fearless. He’s a fighter that I think deserves a chance. Σε αυτό το σημείο, he understands where he’s at. Αυτό είναι ένα μεγάλο αγώνα. A lot of people may not know who Montiel is, just like I didn’t, but he’s a strong fighter. The people want to see me get tested, δεξιά? I want to see those big fights, πάρα πολύ. In a matter of time, they’ll come. But Montiel should be a good fight.

“I’m going to whoop his ass. He doesn’t stand a chance. They’re all confident. I got the belt. The belt ain’t going nowhere. Toyota Center, get ready. It’s going to be fireworks June 19. He can be as confident as he wants, but when we get in there he’s going to have to figure it out.

“I’m ready to fight the best in the world. I’m the best in the world and I’m not going to let this guy over here stop me. The belt is not going nowhere. The belt is staying right here in ‘H Town.’ There’s nothing he could do about it. Nothing. It’s my belt. It’s my legacy. You’ll find out June 19.

“A fighter like Montiel is challenging to go in there and get the job done real clean and swiftly because if I look bad against a guy like this, they’ll take away from what I did in the Derevyanchenko fight. Αλλά, ναι μεν, μέχρι σήμερα, Derevyanchenko was one of my hardest fights, but I made nice work of it and onto the next one.

“I got the belt. Champions fight champions. We unify. Αλλά αν δεν, we’re not just going to sit back. Those guys that have the belt like Triple G, Canelo and Andrade – the belts are out there so eventually it will happen. I’m not in a rush. Είμαι νέος. I’m still having fun. I’m enjoying what I do best.

“If Triple G wants this WBC belt, I have it. It’s over here, it’s open. I’m ready to fight.”

JUAN MACÍAS MONTIEL:

“We are focused on preparing as well as possible. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and we are taking it as such with a lot of dedication and discipline. We are ready to put on a great show on June 19.

“This is the fight I always dreamed of. I am all about challenging myself and fighting against the best of the best. I have been training hard and I believe in myself. I will be ready to come out and win.

“We’re fighting in Houston because I don’t think that I’m in a position to choose or dictate anything right now. I will fight anywhere in order to make my dream of becoming a champion come true. If we have to fight on the moon, then let’s fight on the moon.

“I believe that power is the great equalizer, a legit advantage in boxing, since it can change the fortunes of any fighter inside the ring. I consider my power an advantage in my favor.

“I have fought and prepared so hard for the opportunity to go and get this championship belt. I have done things the right way, there is no reason for things to go wrong. As I said previously, I am not in a position to choose where to fight. I just have to keep training hard like I have since I was four years old.

“I’m happy that there will be fans in the stands. I don’t feel any pressure, because it’s all about Latin pride and support and that motivates me.

“I think Charlo is a great fighter, super talented and the world champion for a reason. I have been preparing my whole life for this.

“I don’t think that all Mexicans just go on attack mode by default, you also have to be smart and think things through depending on how the fight goes.”

Ronnie Shields, CHARLO’S TRAINER:

“Jermall Charlo has worked his butt off in the gym and he continues to do that. To defend your title in your backyard, in your hometown, that’s a very special thing. Not only is it going to be special because of that, it’s going to be special because Juneteenth is a very special day for all African Americans in the state of Texas. We’re looking forward to a great fight. Montiel is a really great fighter and we know we can’t underestimate anybody. We’re going to be in the best condition we’ve ever been in every time we fight and we’re going to continue to do that. We’re looking forward to having everybody come out for this great celebration.

“I think a lot of people were surprised how easily Jermall beat Sergey Derevyanchenko. He was the No. 1 αντίπαλος. He was the mandatory defense. He gave Triple G problems. He gave Danny Jacobs problems. And Jermall beat him.”

EDUARDO MONTIEL, MONTIEL’S TRAINER:

“Training camp is an ongoing process. Things are going swimmingly, just like we wanted them to. We are very happy and so glad people have welcomed us here in Houston with open arms.

“I’m hoping for Montiel to be in his best physical, mental and emotional shape to come out with a win on June 19. Our biggest advantage right now is that we are already settled in here in the United States, free of the distractions and temptations we might have back home in Mexico.

“I think that a victory of this magnitude would make Montiel the face of Mexican boxing, rubbing elbows with the Canelos of the world. Life would change overnight for him.”

DOUG HALL, GENERAL MANAGER, TOYOTA CENTER:

“We welcome SHOWTIME and our friends from Premier Boxing Champions back to Toyota Center. We have a great history of hosting combat sports in this fine arena. We’re really excited about what Jermall Charlo and Juan Macías Montiel are going to bring to the Toyota Center on June 19. Τα εισιτήρια είναι στην πώληση τώρα στο toyotacenter.com and we are looking forward to a great night as we bring back live events to this market. We can do it successfully and safely and we want to see everybody come and see a great championship boxing match.”

CLARESSA SHIELDS DOMINATES MARIE-EVE DICAIRE, MAKES HISTORY AS THE FIRST BOXER TO BE CROWNED UNDISPUTED CHAMP IN A SECOND WEIGHT DIVISION

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο
UNDEFEATED STAR CITES JUNE IN LAS VEGAS FOR HER MMA DEBUT; CALLS OUT KATIE TAYLOR AND SAVANNAH MARSHALL IN POST-FIGHT INTERVIEW

(Παρασκευή, Μάρτιος 5, 2021 – Flint, ΜΟΥ) Women’s superstar Claressa Shields furthered her claim as boxing’s “GWOAT” Friday night and became the unified WBC, WBO, IBF & WBA Super Junior Middleweight World Champion, by scoring a one-sided 10-round unanimous decision over Marie-Eve Dicaire of St-Eustache, Κεμπέκ, Καναδάς, in the 10-round main event of the historic all-women’s “SUPERWOMEN: SHIELDS VS. DICAIRE event at the Dort Financial Center and live on pay-per-view in Shields’ hometown of Flint, Μίσιγκαν.

Ασπίδες (11-0, 2 KOs) also became the first boxer in the four-belt era to become an undisputed world champion in two weight divisions by virtue of her shutout victory (100-90 by all three judges) over now former champion Dicaire (17-1).

Uncharacteristically, the 25-year-old Shields turned counterpuncher early in this fight, to offset Dicaire’s attempts to bounce in and out of range. Relying on her reflexes to punish any attempt at aggression by Dicaire, Shields shut the Canadian down and then turned back to her customary forward aggression later in the bout.

Dicaire landed a quality southpaw left on Shields in round four, possibly her only significant blow of the fight, and Shields simply shook it off to no effect.

I can’t be mad about my performance,” said Shields after the bout. “She just kept elbowing and headbutting me. I tried for the knockout and I almost had it a couple times, but we’ve got two minutes and the ref not breaking it up when she’s holding me and elbowing me. I’m happy but I still wanted the knockout. I just didn’t have enough time. Στο τέλος της ημέρας, I am the new undisputed champ at 154 and the first boxer to be undisputed champ twice.”

Shields said she was happy to have accomplished her latest piece of history in front of her family and friends in Flint, even if the pandemic meant a lot fewer fans in attendance.

“With Covid, we couldn’t have a full capacity. Υπάρχουν 300 here and that’s the capacity of the day, so we have a full house. We couldn’t have full capacity, but I know if we could have, we would have had 6000 people in here. I’m happy to have been able to do it here (in Flint). I started boxing here at Berston Fieldhouse at 11 ετών. Never in a million years did I think I’d be on pay-per-view and fighting for an undisputed title and be one of the biggest stars in boxing. I just wanted to win an Olympic Gold medal. God has given me two Olympic medals. έχω 12 championship belts now. It doesn’t feel real to say undisputed twice.”

When asked about two of her remaining rivals in boxing, fellow superstar Katie Taylor of Ireland and her one-time conqueror in the amateurs, Savannah Marshall of the UK, Shields brimmed with confidence.

“Katie Taylor is not the worry. 147 pounds is. They’d have to pay me a lot to lose my butt and go down to 147. Στο τέλος της ημέρας, I’m a woman. I don’t have big breasts, but I got a nice butt, so come with that dough and I’ll be there. At least a million and I’ll be there.

“Savannah Marshall can’t f*** with me. Ας κρατήσουμε πραγματική. Σαβάνα Μάρσαλ, you won a lucky decision when we were kids. Also London was hosting the Olympics. If you want to gloat about beating me 14 points to 8… come on now. And then I went on to become world champion in three different division and she broke. She knows she cannot and will not ever be able to f*** with me. She can come to America. I will go to the UK. We can go to Mexico. We can go anywhere, and I will f*** her up. She knows that. She’s scared of me. Savannah Marshall can get it. Tell Eddie Hearn, he came that whack-ass 250K. Tell him to come with 500K… 750K if he wants me to go to the UK and smoke his girl. Pay me.”

Dicaire continued her graciousness in post-fight questioning and promised not to let the loss dampen her future in the sport.

“I think Claressa did a good job tonight,” said Dicaire. “Tonight, she was the best. Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn. Απόψε, I learned. I think this is just going to allow me to grow stronger. I don’t box to protect my record or keep my record at 0 απώλειες. I box to beat champions. Απόψε, I had the chance to fight the real champion. She won this time but count on me to go back to the gym and work hard and be world champion again for sure.

Ασπίδες, who says her much-publicized MMA debut will likely be in Las Vegas in June, threw 409 punches in the fight and landed 128 συμπεριλαμβανομένου 34.9% of her power punches. Dicaire threw 263 punches in return but landed just 31.

“Flint Michigan got the baddest boxer in the world!” said Shields to her fans. “We two-time undisputed. Pacquiao who? Canelo who? When someone else does what I did let me know.”



Στο συν-κύριο γεγονός της βραδιάς, Houston’s undefeated Danielle Perkins (3-0, 1 KO) showed marked improvement and had a much easier time in her rematch against Georgia’s Monika “Lay Em Down” Harrison (2-2, 1 KO), scoring a dominant eight-round unanimous decision while picking up the WBC Silver Heavyweight Championship in the process.

The former amateur world champion Perkins used every bit of her superior athleticism, 6’ height and 72-inch reach to move around the ring and keep the 5’ 10” Harrison at bay with a punishing southpaw right jab and a steady diet of strong left hands to the head and body. Κατά καιρούς, Referee Michael Griffin appeared to be considering a stoppage, but the durable Harrison kept coming forward and swinging for the fences for all eight rounds, despite the firepower coming her way.

Τα αποτελέσματα ήταν 80-72 από τους τρεις δικαστές.

“I apologize for not getting a knockout. I swear next time I’ll come back and give it to you, Πυρόλιθος,” said Perkins, μετά τον αγώνα. “Monika made some adjustments this time. I hit her with some solid hammers and that girl stayed on her feet so kudos to her.”

Perkins threw 353 punches in the fight and landed 121 συμπεριλαμβανομένου 40.9% of her power shots. Harrison threw 273 shots, but only found a home for 21 από αυτούς.

“I want to be the undisputed female heavyweight champion of the world,” continued Perkins. “I want to be the best you’ve ever seen.”

Αήττητο μικρόσωμο βάρος Jamie “The Miracle” Mitchell (6-0-2, 43 KOs) of Pacific Grove, Καλιφόρνια, looked impressive in battering and stopping more-experienced veteran Noemi “La Rebelde / No-No” Bosques (12-16-3, 2 KOs) in five one-sided rounds.

With the two-fisted punishment from Mitchell steadily increasing with every passing round, Referee Gerard White decided the stumbling and retreating Bosques had had enough and mercifully waved the fight off at 1:49 of the fifth.

“I was just zoned out. I was doing whatever fit the moment,” said Mitchell, μετά τον αγώνα. “That’s how I got the knockout. Thanks to my coaches and thanks to Claressa Shields for putting me on this card. This is an unforgettable moment for women.”

Prior to scoring the technical knockout, Mitchell landed 48% (80/167) of her power punches, και 40% (94/234) of her total punches. Noemi Bosques only landed 24 του 153 γροθιές.

“I like to pick on myself to do better,” said Mitchell of her performance. “There were certain things I wanted to do, but they don’t call this girl a gatekeeper for nothing. I wish I had gotten her out of there quicker and been crisper with my jab. She was a bit tricky.”

In the opening bout of the broadcast, 2012 Χάλκινος Ολυμπιονίκης Marlen Esparza(9-1, 1 KO) stayed busy ahead of her scheduled challenge of WBC Flyweight Champion Ibeth Zamora in April with a dominant six-round unanimous decision over Canada’sShelly Barnett (τώρα 4-4-2, 2 KO).

Barnett tried to be aggressive, but Esparza’s skills allowed her to pot shot her bigger opponent, nearly at will, especially as the fight wore on. “We knew she was tough and bigger,” said Esparza. “I wanted someone with more weight because I never fight above 112 lbs. and I think I handled it well. I’m happy about the way everything played out. I’m happy to have been part of this event and to be working with Claressa again.”

Esparza threw 352 punches in the fight, προσγείωση 126, συμπεριλαμβανομένου 26 body shots and 38.4% of her power shots. Barnett threw 291 and landed 49. Βαθμολογίες των κριτών ήταν 60-54, 6-53 x 2.

On the free pre-show portion of the pay-per-view, middleweight Timur Kerefov stayed undefeated (11-0, 6 KOs) with a TKO 3 over Saint Petersburg, Florida veteran Manny Woods (τώρα 16-11-1, 6 KOs). Woods left eye couldn’t hold up under the onslaught of punches from the Russian former amateur star. The time was 1:06. Kerefov, Detroit via Shalushka, Russia and now training at Kronk Gym, threw 190 punches in the abbreviated encounter, προσγείωση 80, συμπεριλαμβανομένου 24 πυροβολισμούς σωμάτων. Woods threw 122 and landed just 17.

BROOKLYN (Οκτώβριος 17, 2019) – Undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo will defend his title against highly-ranked contender Dennis Hogan Σάββατο, Δεκέμβριος 7 ζουν σε SHOWTIME από την Barclays Κέντρο, το σπίτι του Μπρούκλιν ΠΥΓΜΑΧΙΑ ™, in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® αρχίζει από 9 μ.μ. ET / 6 μ.μ.. PT and is headlined by unbeaten middleweight star Charlo making the second defense of his 160-pound title against Hogan, a tough former world title challenger who has campaigned from super welterweight through light heavyweight.

Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on-sale now and can be purchased atticketmaster.com και barclayscenter.com. Tickets also can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Ομάδα εκπτώσεις είναι διαθέσιμες με την κλήση 844-bklyn-GP.

“Jermall Charlo is a can’t miss attraction and one of the brightest stars in boxing,” είπε ο Τομ Μπράουν, Πρόεδρος της TGB Προσφορές. “He’ll look to make the second defense of his WBC Middleweight Championship in his fourth appearance at Barclays Center on December 7. He’ll have his hands full with the hard-charging Dennis Hogan, who many believe should be a 154-pound champion and should have earned the decision over junior middleweight champion Jaime Mungia. That performance has put him right back in a position to fight for a title and there’s no doubt that him and Jermall are going to leave it all in the ring and give fans a great fight live on SHOWTIME.”

“Jermall Charlo is one of those rare athletes who creates a spectacle every time he steps in the ring, και τον Δεκέμβριο 7 δεν θα είναι διαφορετικές,” said Stephen Espinoza, Πρόεδρος, Αθλητισμός & Προγραμματισμός εκδηλώσεων, Showtime Networks Inc. “Jermall is the complete package – ταχύτητα, ισχύς, athleticism and elite talent – so it is no surprise that he is one of the most avoided boxers in his division. Dennis Hogan deserves credit for stepping up to a challenge which many other middleweights wouldn’t. Hogan is a tough, aggressive fighter who many believe should already be a world champion. This is an intriguing clash of styles and personalities.” 

“We’re looking forward to hosting another great night of Brooklyn Boxing and to welcoming Jermall Charlo back into our ring for the fourth time,” said Keith Sheldon, EVP of Programming and Development for BSE Global. “December’s matchup against Dennis Hogan exemplifies our ongoing commitment to bringing world class fights to Barclays Center featuring the sport’s most exciting stars.”

The undefeated Charlo (29-0, 21 KOs) is one of the most exciting young champions in the sport. He and his twin brother, Jermell, were super welterweight champions simultaneously between 2015-17 before Jermall decided to move up to middleweight. Charlo won the IBF Junior Middleweight title with a thrilling TKO victory over Cornelius Bundrage in 2015. He made three successful defenses, including a victory over current unified champion Julian Williams, before moving up to middleweight.

The 29-year-old has proven to be just as dominant at 160 pounds as he was at 154, with three convincing performances since moving up in weight. Charlo will be making his second defense of the WBC middleweight title and fighting for the fourth time at Barclays Center. In a homecoming defense in June on SHOWTIME, he successfully defended the title against Brandon Adams with a unanimous decision in his first bout since being elevated to full champion. In his last fight at Barclays Center he shared the card with his twin brother, Jermell, and came away with a hard-fought unanimous decision over tough veteran Matt Korobov last December.

“Nobody knows Dennis Hogan like I know Dennis Hogan,” Είπε Charlo. “He likes to come straight forward with that ‘Mexican’ στυλ. I’m going to exploit that. He’s a tough fighter and he deserves a shot at the world championship because he competed well at the championship level already.

“I’m going on two consecutive 12-rounders and I don’t feel good about that. I’m ready to get back to my thing, which is knocking them out and getting them out of there. This is a big fight for me because it’s my 30ου fight and I’m about to turn 30.”

Hogan (28-2-1, 7 KOs) is coming off a razor-thin majority decision loss to Jaime Munguia in a super welterweight world championship match on April 13 in which many thought Hogan did enough to pull off the victory. The 34-year-old, who was born in Ireland and now lives in Queensland, Αυστραλία, is looking for a clear-cut victory over Charlo in his first U.S. fight since 2016. Hogan put together a six fight winning streak before the title fight against Munguia.

“I am excited for the opportunity to challenge for the most prestigious belt in boxing, the WBC Middleweight world title against Jermall Charlo at Barclays Center,” said Hogan. “It doesn’t get any bigger than fighting in Brooklyn on SHOWTIME against the undefeated middleweight champion. After the disappointment I faced in April in Mexico, having been cheated out of the WBO Junior Middleweight world title that I strongly feel I earned, I am extremely grateful to have another opportunity to become a world champion.

“As an Irishman, I feel right at home in New York and have no issue traveling abroad once again to achieve my dream. I have successfully competed at light heavyweight and middleweight as a professional and I will feel stronger with the extra six pounds on December 7. I’m thankful to Jermall and his team for working with my team to provide this opportunity. I will be prepared and ready to shine.”
