“Since Josesito’s been with me we’ve been working hard and training for over two years. He’s improved so much and come April 28 he’s going to show everyone that he’s ready to challenge the world champions. We have to beat guys like Cruz to get to those fights.

 

 

 

 

“The fans in Texas are always great. This is a great boxing city and every time we’re in El Paso we get nothing but love. We appreciate it and hope to see you all at the fight.”

 

O’NEIL WATSON, Cruz’s Trainer

 

 

 

 

“I have a young fighter who I’ve been with since he was twelve years old. He got his first win with me. I’ve been there to guide him through everything he’s done in boxing.

Rugged Veteran Josesito Lopez Battles Unbeaten 147

Pound Contender Miguel Cruz in Welterweight Showdown

Former World Champion Anthony Dirrell Takes On El Paso’s Abraham Han in 168-pound Matchup

Unbeaten Jorge Lara Squares-Off Against Claudio Marrero

In a Featherweight Clash

Tickets on Sale Today at 10 a.m. MT!

 

 

STEP, TX (Maart 28, 2018) – Action will be the order of the evening as a trio of hotly-contested showdowns will highlight an exciting night Saturday, April 28 live in primetime on Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes from the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas.

 

Josesito Lopez, known as “The Riverside Rocky”, will battle rising contender Miguel Cruz in a 10-round welterweight showdown. Former super middleweight world champion Anthony Dirrell takes on El Paso’s Abraham Han in a 10-round 168-pound skirmish. The night also features unbeaten Mexican featherweight contenderJorge Lara clashing with Dominican brawler Claudio Marrero in the 10-round opening bout that kicks off coverage at 8:30 p.m. EN / 5:30 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

Tickets for the show, die wordt bevorderd door TGB Promotions, are on sale today, Maart 28 bij 10 a.m. MT and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.

 

 

 

“This is an all-action show that has all of the elements that boxing fans have come to love,” zei Tom Brown, President van TGB Promotions. “Miguel Cruz is a talented rising contender who will be taking a major step up against a hardened veteran in Josesito Lopez. Anthony Dirrell is a former world champion who is anxious to get back into the title picture and El Paso’s own Abraham Han has title aspirations of his own. And Jorge Lara and Claudio Marrero are two of the biggest punchers in the featherweight division. It promises to be a very entertaining show for boxing fans.”

 

 

 

Lopez (35-7, 19 KO) is a battle-tested veteran who has been in the ring with some of the top boxers in the sport, including Marcos Maidana, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Jessie Vargas. The 33-year-old Lopez of Riverside, California scored one of the biggest wins of his career when he stopped Victor Ortiz by TKO in 2012. He has been on a two-fight win streak since losing to Andre Berto and in his last fight he defeated Saul Corral by a unanimous decision on April 9, 2017 live on FS1.

 

 

 

“Miguel Cruz has not faced a fighter on my level,” Said Lopez. “I’m the most experienced fighter that Cruz will have fought. I’m confident in my abilities and the fact that I will come out with a victory. I’m ready to go straight through Miguel Cruz and prove I’m one of the best welterweights in the world.”

 

 

 

Kruis (17-0, 11 KO) will be taking a major step forward in his career when he takes on Lopez. The 27-year-old Cruz of Lake Mary, Florida was a member of the Puerto Rican national team as an amateur and picked up four victories in 2017. In his last fight he battled adversity by overcoming two cuts to score a unanimous decision over David Grayton on Nov. 21 on FS1 and also defeated then unbeaten Alex Martin twice in 2017 in a pair of exciting contests on FS1.

 

 

 

“I am incredibly excited to have a fight of this magnitude because this is what I’ve always worked for,” zei Cruz. “I’m so ready to test my skills against somebody like Josesito Lopez. I belong to a new era in boxing, and I’m going to shine for the world on April 28. This is going to be an amazing fight for the fans and I’m ready for everyone to enjoy my performance.”

 

 

 

Dirrell (31-1-1, 24 KO), a former super middleweight world champion from Flint, Michigan, is coming off a technical decision victory over Denis Douglin in November on FS1. The 33-year-old Dirrell won the title with a unanimous decision over Sakio Bika in 2015 before dropping a majority decision in 2016 to Badou Jack. Since that loss, Dirrell has won four straight, including a TKO victory over current 168-pound world champion Caleb Truax in 2016.

 

 

 

“Abraham Han is a good fighter coming off of a tough draw with J’Leon Love, and a guy you can’t look past,” Said Dirrell. “Caleb Truax proved that by beating James DeGale for the title, so I’m truly focused on this fight right now. He’s a tall, switch-hitter who comes straight forward, but that’s nothing I can’t handle because I’m always ready and in shape to stick to my game plan and execute. I’m always looking for the knockout, and if it comes, then it comes, and I’ll get him out of there.”

 

 

 

Zij (26-3-1, 16 KO) returns to fight in his hometown of El Paso for the ninth time, including a victory he picked up at Don Haskins Center in his fifth pro fight. The 33-year-old is looking to rebound from a technical draw against J’Leon Love last September, in a fight many thought Han was winning before the referee stopped the fight due to a cut caused by an accidental headbutt. He had won three fights in a row heading into that bout against Love.

 

 

 

“Anthony Dirrell probably sees me as someone that he can beat while he waits for a title shot, but I’m looking to mess up his plans,” said Han. “I felt like I won my last fight with J’Leon and would have easily beat him if it wasn’t stopped. This is another great opportunity to fight in my hometown of El Paso. I’ll focus on winning round-by-round and putting on a great show for my fans. I know everyone is going to come out and support me and help carry me to this victory.”

 

 

 

Lara (29-0-1, 21 KO) has scored two victories, including a knockout against former champion Fernando Montiel, since he had a technical draw against Jesus Rojas in 2015. He knocked down Montiel four times on the way to the first round stoppage in their April 2016 showdown on FOX. The 27-year-old southpaw from Guadalajara, Mexico has shown heavy hands for a featherweight and is coming off a TKO victory over Mario Briones in his last fight on May 20 op FS1.

 

 

 

“I have been training with former champion Alejandro Gonzalez, and four weeks out from the fight, I am already in excellent condition and in tremendous fighting shape,” Said Lara. “I know that this is a very important fight, and that Marrero is a very tough opponent, but I am going to be the winner because I am determined to continue on my road toward winning a world title. Daarna, we’ll see which champion will be ready to give me the opportunity.”

 

 

 

Marrero (22-2, 16 KO) was riding an eight-fight win streak before losing by knockout to Jesus Rojas in his last fight. Inside of that eight-fight win streak the 29-year-old Dominican southpaw scored a sensational knockout victory over Carlos Zambrano to earn an interim featherweight title on FS1. The only other blemish on Marrero’s record was a unanimous decision loss to former world champion Jesus Cuellar in 2013.

 

 

 

“I’m excited to be fighting on April 28 on this great show in El Paso,” said Marrero. “I’m fighting an undefeated tough Mexican fighter, but this is the type of fight I wanted to put myself back into title contention. I’m really excited to get in there. Kom vechten nacht, you will see ‘The Matrix’ in full effect. Don’t miss it because it’s going to be a great fight.”

Premier Boxing Champions – (Foto's binnenkort zal worden toegevoegd)
ST. PETERSBURG, FL. (November 21, 2017) – Voormalig wereldkampioen Devon Alexander (27-4, 14 KO) returned to the ring in impressive style as he dominated Walter Castillo (26-5-1, 19 KO) on his way to a unanimous decision in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions TOE-tot-teen DINSDAG op FS1 enBoksen Champions op FOX Deportes Dinsdag night from The Coliseum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
“This feels really good,” zei Alexander. “I’ve been on a journey that I didn’t expect to go through and I’m thankful to be back in the ring and have my career back.”
Returning to the ring for the first time in twee jaar, Alexander was sharp from the outset, using the skills that made him a two-division champion to befuddle Castillo. Alexander’s jab found its’ range from the beginning and he slowly began to work in straight left hands that he would land frequently to maintain control of the action.
“My coach was telling me to pick it up throughout the fight,” zei Alexander. “The rust got to me a little bit. I know that I can be more active. I really started to feel warmed up later in the fight. I know that I can do way better but I was happy to have this experience.”
In de tweede ronde, Alexander scored a highlight reel knockdown of Castillo as he landed a powerful par of straight left hands sandwich around a right uppercut. Castillo continued to try to walk Alexander down and stayed persistent in throwing power punches as much as he could over the course of the fight.
“He kept moving side to side and didn’t really stay in there and fight,” Said Castillo. “I wanted him to run less but I just kept coming forward trying to throw punches. I got dazed a little from the knockdown but nothing bad. That was more about his speed.”
Alexander proved to be too sharp throughout the welterweight affair, consistently avoiding Castillo’s big punches and delivering his own varied and effective attack. Na 10 rondes, Alexander was officially back in the win column with a unanimous decision by scores of 100-89 tweemaal en 96-93.
“I love doing what I do,” zei Alexander. “This is what I was born to do since I was seven-years-old. I’m thankful to be back doing what I love.
“I’m going to talk to my coach and my team and see what we can come up with next. I’m ready to fight anybody out there. I don’t have any cuts so I’m ready. I’m on a journey and I’m thankful to be here.”
The opening bout of the telecast saw unbeaten Miguel Cruz (17-0, 11 KO) earn a close unanimous decision over David Grayton (15-2-1, 11 KO) in a competitive welterweight clash.
Both fighters took their time getting started in round one before Grayton broke through in round two and stunned Cruz against the ropes late in the round. Cruz bounced back in round three landing a right hand late in the third round that forced Grayton to tie up and eventually tackle Cruz to the canvas in order to survive the round.
Cruz suffered his first cut of the fight during the round three exchange but fought through the wound under his right eye and dropped Grayton with a jab early in round six to score a crucial knockdown. The intensity of the fight continued into the eighth round when Grayton began to tee-off on Cruz as blood poured from a second cut, this one above Cruz’s right eye.
The back and forth battle continued until the final bell, with both men throwing wildly as the referee attempted to break up the action. Na 10 rounds all three judges saw the fight in favor of Cruz by the score of 96-93.

Co-Main Event & Antonio Russell and Antuanne Russell Compete In Separate Bouts
ST. PETERSBURG, FL. – (Oktober 24, 2017) – Former 147-pound world champion Devon Alexander will battle rugged contender Walter Castillo in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions TOE-tot-teen DINSDAG op FS1 en Boksen Champions op FOX Deportes Dinsdag, November. 21 from The Coliseum in St. Petersburg, Florida with televised coverage beginning at 8:00 p.m. EN/5:00 p.m. PT.
The 10-round bout will headline a show promoted by Warriors Boxing and Fire Fist Boxing Promotions and features a 10-round co-main event between unbeaten welterweight prospect Miguel Cruz against once-beaten David Grayton. Two of the fighting Russell brothers, Antonio and Antuanne, brothers of featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr., will enter the ring in separate six-round matches.
Tickets for the live event begin at $35 en zijn nu te koop. Om tickets te kopen bezoek www.ticketmaster.com.
“This show is packed with talent and should deliver a great night of boxing for fans in Florida and watching on FS1 and FOX Deportes,” zei Leon Margules, President van Warriors Boksen. “Devon Alexander is a former two-division champion on the comeback trail and he’ll be tested by Walter Castillo, who is always in exciting fights. Miguel Cruz and David Grayton are both hungry prospects looking to raise their status and Antuanne and Antonio Russell are hoping to follow their brother Gary on the path to a world title. I want to thank my partner Fire Fist Boxing Promotions, for their hard work to make this event happen in Florida.”
The 30-year-old Alexander (26-4, 14 KO) will end a two-year layoff due to health issues when he steps in against Castillo. Alexander, van St. Louis, Missouri, won the 147-pound world championship with a unanimous decision victory over Randall Bailey in 2012. He lost the title via unanimous decision against Shawn Porter the next year. Alexander, a southpaw, was a unified champion at 140-pounds and owns victories over Marcos Maidana, Lucas Matthysse and Jesus Soto Karass.
“Two years is a long time to be away from something you love but I wanted to make sure when I come back that I would be 100 percent my old self,” Alexander said. “My last outings were not me, and a lot of my fans and people that know me are aware of that. I’ve been in constant training since then while getting my personal situation in order. Castillo is a good solid fight that is going to bring the best skills out of me. He’s not a slouch and he’s coming to fight. But it’s not about what Castillo coming to do. It’s about me making a statement to show people that I am still up there with the elite fighters, and I know that when I’m right, nobody can beat me.”
After campaigning the last few years at 140 pond, Kasteel (26-4-1, 19 KO) is stepping up to 147 pounds to take on the former champion Alexander. The 29-year-old Castillo, van Managua, Nicaragua, will be ending a 16-month layoff onNovember 21. Castillo lost by TKO to Sergey Lipinets in a 140-pound clash his last time out after previously fighting to a draw against Keita Obara in a title eliminator.
“I think this could be one of my last great opportunities and I’m very excited for it,” Said Castillo. “Devon Alexander is a great boxer and I will have to be at my very best. Even though I’ve been out of the ring, my condition will not be a problem. Ik ben 100 percent ready to give Alexander trouble. I am working very hard on a game plan to stop Alexander shock everyone.”
The unbeaten Cruz (16-0, 11 KO) has been very busy in 2017 as he steps into the ring for his fourth fight this year. The 27-year-old welterweight from St. Mary, Florida scored a unanimous decision victory over Alex Martin in a rematch in his last fight on Juni 27 after earning a split-decision in their first fight and beating Ali Mammadov in between.
The 30-year-old Grayton (15-1-1, 11 KO) is coming off a technical draw against former champion Kermit Cintron in his last fight on Maart 17. Grayton, Washington D.C., suffered the only loss of his career when he was stopped by technical knockout by Bryant Perrella on June 4, 2016 before returning to defeat Kareem Martin in August last year leading up to the Cintron fight.

BETHLEHEM, PA. (Juni 28, 2017) – Miguel Cruz (16-0, 11 KO) verdiende een unaniem besluit om te verslaan Alex Martin (13-2, 5 KO) en bleef ongeslagen in een rematch tegen het weltergewicht die kopte Premier Boxing Champions TOE-tot-teen DINSDAG op FS1 enBoksen Champions op FOX Deportes Dinsdag nacht van het Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Vader.
Na het winnen van een split-decision tegen Martin in hun confrontatie in januari, Cruz hield zijn perfecte staat van dienst intact door twee knockdowns te scoren voordat hij de beslissing kreeg in hun wedstrijd van 10 ronden.
“Ik voelde me eerlijk gezegd niet zo goed in ons eerste gevecht en toen ik het opnieuw bekeek, Ik dacht dat Martin had gewonnen,” zei Cruz. “Dat zorgde ervoor dat ik steeds harder trainde dan ooit om te bewijzen dat ik de vaardigheden en kracht heb om op wereldniveau te concurreren, en ik denk dat ik dat gedaan heb vanavond.”
Cruz kende een snelle start door een enorme linkse hoek te landen die Martin ving en hem laat in de eerste ronde liet vallen. Martin was in staat om overeind te komen en te herstellen net voordat de bel klonk om de ronde te beëindigen.
Martin bleef proberen aan de binnenkant te werken, maar Cruz was vastbesloten om terug te duwen en landde consequent met grote krachtschoten. Een andere linkse hoek in ronde vier stuurde Martin weer naar de mat, hoewel hij minder getroffen leek dan tijdens de eerste knockdown.
“Ik vocht tegen zijn gevecht vanavond,” zegt Martin. “Ik heb gewoon niet mijn beste prestatie neergezet. De eerste knockdown was een echte knockdown, maar bij de tweede knockdown raakte hij me in mijn achterhoofd.”
Rond vijf zag Martin effectiever boksen, verschillende rechterhanden landen voordat een linkse hoek laag landde, Cruz naar het canvas sturen en ervoor zorgen dat scheidsrechter Gary Rosato het gevecht stopzet terwijl Cruz herstelt.
Toen de actie werd hervat, bleef Martin het tij van het gevecht keren. Zijn beweging was zeer effectief en zijn succes met de linkerhand was consistent gedurende de ronde vijf tot en met acht.
“Martin was superstoer,” zei Cruz. “Ik dacht niet dat hij de tweede ronde zou halen, maar hij bezorgde me zeker problemen. Ik probeerde hem te stoppen.”
Onderaan op de scorekaarten vanwege de vroege knockdowns, Martin's comeback-inspanning kwam te kort toen Cruz in staat was om Martin af te houden in de laatste twee rondes op weg naar de beslissing in de ogen van alle drie de juryleden door de score van 96-92.
“Ik wist dat ik weer in de strijd zou komen, maar ik verzin geen excuses vanavond,” zegt Martin. “Hij won het gevecht eerlijk en vierkant, felicitaties aan hem.”
“Ik trainde voor Martin alsof hij de wereldkampioen was en zo ga ik trainen voor elk gevecht in mijn carrière,” zei Cruz. “Het was een enorm gevecht, Ik ben blij dat ik de overwinning heb behaald. Ik wil gewoon terug naar Puerto Rico en mijn verjaardag vieren morgen.”
Extra actiezaag op televisie Clarence Booth (15-3, 8 KO) stop Puerto Rico's Anthony Mercado (10-3, 9 KO) in de vierde ronde van hun weltergewichtwedstrijd.
De grotere Mercado had al vroeg in het gevecht succes terwijl Booth probeerde zich een weg naar binnen te banen en het lichaam aan te vallen. Mercado landde een paar schone rechterhanden in elk van de eerste twee rondes die Booth leken te verdoven.
“Hij was een harde vechter,” zei Booth. “Ik moest loskomen voor de eerste paar rondes. Ik was in het begin gespannen.”
Vechten uit St.. Petersburg, Florida, Booth was in staat om de storm in de eerste twee rondes te doorstaan ​​en begon het tij te keren in ronde drie met een schone rechterhand die Mercado wankelde..
Booth hield de vaart erin en zette Mercado in de vierde ronde snel op het doek met een paar rechterhanden. Mercado was in staat om overeind te komen, maar uiteindelijk brak Booth weer door en verbaasde Mercado met meer rechterhanden. De laatste vlaag bracht scheidsrechter Eric Dali ertoe om de wedstrijd stop te zetten 1:30 in het vierde frame.
“Ik had een paar zware verliezen, maar nu ben ik aan een grote comeback,” zei Booth. “Ik ben zo blij met deze kans op televisie en ik heb er het beste van gemaakt. Mijn promotor Marshall Kauffman en King's Promotions zullen me in de toekomst geweldige kansen bieden.”
“Hij sloeg me met een goed schot,” zei Market. “Hij prikte en kwam met een rechterhand die ik niet zag aankomen. Ik zal nog beter terugkomen.”
