Las Vegas - Juli 15, 2025 -Borbeni ponos Filipina, Svjetski prvak osam divizija i od prošlog mjeseca, Induct u međunarodnu boksu slavu. Dok se čini kao veći od životaManny "Pacman" Pacquiaoje postigao sve što možete u sportu, Mogao bi dodati još jedno poglavlje u svoju povijesnu zaostavštinu ove subote, Juli 19 Kada izaziva WBC Welterweight World ChampionMario “El Azteca” BarriosU glavnom događaju PBC Pay-per-view-viewew-a na premijernom videu iz MGM Grand Garden Arena u Las Vegasu.

Pored toga što je postao prvi borac koji će se postići nerazumljiv podvig pobjede u svijetu naslov nakon dvorane slavne indukcije, Pacquiao bi mogao razbiti vlastiti zapis kao najstariji svjetski prvak Welterweight u historiji ako uzme WBC pojas iz Barriosa. Pacquiao je prvobitno postavio znak u julu 2019, Dok je porazio ranije nepopuštenog Keith Thurmana u 40-godišnjim. U eri koji se vidi superzvijezda u 40-im kao što su Tom Brady i Lebron James nastavljaju se na najvišim nivoima, Pacquiao se još jednom dokazuje da je generacijski sportaš koji prevazilazi sportu.

Pacquiao će se vratiti na prsten na mjestu koje je napravio svoje, MGM Grand Garden Arena u Las Vegasu, borbena kapital sveta, Dok on čini njegovu 16th Izgled na mestu, više od bilo kojeg borca u velikoj istoriji mjesta. Sa svojim 15th Glavni događaj jula 19, on veže oznaku koju je odredio kolega legende Floyd Mayweather na mestu, i samo staze Mayweather u ukupno pobjedama u areni (15-10). Dva neraskidivo povezana svih vremenskih velikih veština takođe su vezana za najviše naslova borba u MGM Grandu 12 svaki.

Jula 19, Pacquiao će se suočiti sa neprijateljem sa poznatim borbi protiv baštine u meksičko-američkom barijeru, kao što je Pacquiao porazio ko je - koji je Meksiko najbolji u cijeloj karijeri. Od godine 2003, Pacquiao je pretučen 12 Meksički ili meksičko-američki borci, uključujući legende kao što su Juan Manuel Marquez, Oscar De La Hoya, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera i Antonio Margarito. Ovi trijumfi uključuju neke od Pacquiaovih najmodavnijih pobjeda i pomogli mu je da privuče pažnju i obožavanje boksnog rabidnog meksičkog fanbase.

Dok je podigao sva ova dostignuća, Pacquiao je prikupio poštovanje iz širokog spektra boksnih svjetiljka koji su podijelili svoje omiljene "many trenutke" ispred jula 19 događaj. Među onima koji su razgovarali o Pacquiao bivši protivnici Thurman i Barrera, kao i bivši sparing partner i Welterweight šampion Shawn Porter.

"Nikad nije bilo oko jednog trenutka kada je u pitanju Manny Pacquiao,"Rekao je Thurman. "Moj najdraži trenutak je kad je u bilo kojeg vremena da se izbaci iz tih kombinacija sa osam udarca. Sa protivnikom na užadima, Natjecanje na svetsku klasu, i on samo ispaljuje osam set. Dogodilo se mnogo puta, Ali svaki put kad sam bio svjedočio, Izvadio je malu radost u mom srcu. "

"Imam dva omiljena mančana trenutka, Prvi je kad je pobijedio Oscar de la Hoya, Jer sam mislio da je to nemoguće,"Said Barrera. "Mislio sam da se to nikad ne bi dogodio, a onda je de La Hoya ostala sjedala i bilo je gotovo. Drugi je bio način na koji je pobijedio Miguel Cotta. Bila je to dvije dvorane porodica i manny su zaista impresivni u toj težini.

"Ono što Manny čini tako posebnim je veza i blizina sa svojim navijačima. Srce mu je ono što čini sve poput njega. Voli da stavlja na show, Dajte sve za navijače, i najvažnije, Postaje ratnik kad korača u prstenu. "

"Imam redak manny pacquiao trenutak, Jer nema previše toga što se sparu sa legendi,"Said Porter. "Letio je na Filipine i prvi put smo se sreli i bio je kao" u redu da će biti zabavan. "Nakon što sam se prvi put tretirao u vezi s tim da sam se povukao i našao se kao da je ovaj trenutak prešao po meni kao" Sparing Manny Pacquiao ". Bio sam u otapanju za prvu 10 sekundi. I uhvatio me je dobrom levom rukom u prvom trenutku i probudio me. Bio sam poput 'taj frajer ima malo snage', A onda smo krenuli na trke. "

Kad prognozirate rezultate ove subote, Juli 19 Matchup, kvođa su instalirali mlađu kraljevsku šampion Barrios kao favoritu kladionice. Renomirani treneri i bokserski analitičar Stephen "Edward" Edwards se slaže sa osjećajem, Naglašavajući koliko je Gargantuan zadatak za ruke 46-godišnjaki.

"To bi bio nevjerovatan podvig za 46-godišnji borac koji će se vratiti i osvojiti Welterweight World Titles,"Rekao je Edwards. "Teško je čak i zamisliti da neko bude isključen nekoliko godina, a zatim se vraća 46 i osvajanje. U svemu iskrenosti, Mislim da je to možda nemogući zadatak. Ako neko to može učiniti, Manny to može, Ali trenutno favoriziram Barriosa. "

Uprkos šanse, Nekoliko anketiranih boksera favorizira Pacquiao da povuče uznemirenost, uključujući porter, Barrera, i vladajući WBA super lagani svjetski prvak Gary Anteanne Russell.

"Pacquiao je udarci u grozdovima tip momak i može puknuti,"reče Russell. "Pokazao je da njegova snaga izbijanja može dobiti posao. Barrios je mladenački i selektivni prozračivač. Mislim da neće moći sjediti tamo i slikati se. Manny će te platiti ako čekaš predugo. Uvek je pokazao da želi da se bori.

"Pacquiao je borac visokog tempa i Barrios se borio s tim tempom. Barrios je težak konkurent, ali osjećam se kao da još uvijek ima puno za učenje. Manny je tamo bio sa mnogim prvakom i vjerujem da ima alate u svom arsenalu i da će pokazati noć borbe. Barrios će morati šokirati svijet. Mora da pokaže dovoljno da ga manny poštuje. Naslonila sam se prema mannyju pobjeći, Ali neka pobijedi najbolji čovjek. "

"Vjerujem da će Manny Pacquiao pobijediti Mario Barriosa,"Said Porter. "Znam da svi pričaju o njegovom dobu. To je tema, Može li starac pretući mladića? Mislim da ovaj starac uvijek bude previše dok ne spuste rukavice. "

"Mislim da će ovo biti vrlo zanimljiva svađa,"Reče Barrera. "Pacquiao je vrhunski ratnik, Svjetski prvak osam divizija koji će mu dati sve i koji voli da stavlja na emisiju. Ovo se postavlja da bi bila borba u kojoj ćemo zaista vidjeti ove momke sudaranje i čine navijače pravim pobjednicima.

"Barrios je aktivni prvak brane, i dok nije tako složen kao i drugi trenutni prvaci, on će biti opasan nakon što uđe u prsten. Volio bih vidjeti pobjedu Pacquiao zbog legende da jeste. Idem sa manny pacquiao kao pobjednikom, Ali ako Barrios pobijedi, Bit će to zato što dokazuje da je trenutno bolji borac. "

Bez obzira koga vidite pobjedu u julu 19, Večer je nesumnjivo oblikovač da bude istorijski, i uprkos svim sumnjama koje dolaze izvana, Pacquiao je izrazio snažno samopouzdanje da će još jednom napustiti prsten kao svjetski prvak.

"Vatra, Određivanje i željnost naporno raditi još uvijek je tu,"Said Pacquiao. "Još uvijek uživam u vođenju planina. Nije svaki borac taj osjećaj. Ovo je blagoslov, Jer sam kroz toliko velikih borba u karijeri i još uvijek sam ovdje. Vratio sam se ... To bi puno značilo postati svjetski prvak. Manny Pacquiao uvijek daje iznenađenja navijače. To je moja strast. "

Angel Fierro: “I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR PITBULL CRUZ. HE DOESN’T INTIMIDATE ME & HE’S AN ORDINARY FIGHTER!" – Fierro Talks Training With Robert Garcia & More Ahead of Cruz Rematch on Saturday, Juli 19

Hard-Hitting Fierro Talks Training with Robert Garcia & Previews Mexico vs. Mexico Rematch Against Former World Champion Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz onSubota, Juli 19 on PBC Pay-Per-View Event on Prime Video from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas

RIVERSIDE, KAO ŠTO. – July 1, 2025 -Hard-hitting Mexican contenderAngel “Tashiro” Fierrosent a direct message to his compatriot and rivalIsaac "Pitbull" Cruzduring a tense face-to-face at the Los Angeles press conference in June to announce their rematch, and has continued to express his ire toward Cruz as we near their showdown on Saturday, Juli 19 as part of a PBC Pay-Per-View event on Prime Video from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

“When I say something to him, like I did at that press conference, I follow through,” said Fierro. “I promised I would show him that I’m elite and this fight will be more of the same. I have no respect for ‘Pitbull’ Cruz. He doesn’t intimidate me and he’s an ordinary fighter. He’s a human and he gets tired too. I stayed true to myself when I told him I’m coming for war.”

The biggest change for Fierro since the first showdown is the addition of famed trainer Robert Garcia, who has led his training camp and will do the same for his corner on July 19. By joining forces with Garcia, Fierro believes he’s unlocked a better version of himself that he’ll display in the rematch.

“It’s been a tough camp,” said Fierro. “I’ve never trained with this much intensity before. Robert Garcia and the whole team has been excellent. We’ve made changes to my sparring sessions and I believe we’re going to deliver a great result.

“I’ve gone through changes physically, mentally and nutritionally. It’s going to make me formidable. I’m in the best shape of my life and my diet is on point. I’m not worried about making weight and that’s how an elite fighter should come into a fight.”

The Tijuana-native’s first fight against Cruz was a tale of two halves, as Cruz controlled the early rounds before Fierro appeared to turn the tide, out landing his opponent 132 u 106 across the final five frames. While he believes he’ll be even better on July 19, Fierro is confident that he proved his elite status in the first fight, even if Cruz doesn’t.

“I’ve worked on myself and correcting the mistakes I made in the first fight that would have changed the outcome,” said Fierro. “Robert Garcia is very experienced and I watched the fight with him to work on what I need to do to win this time.

“I didn’t keep my hands up 100% of the time like I needed to. That was the main mistake at the time. ‘Pitbull’ underestimated me – and still does- but I already showed him that I’m not middling fighter. I proved I’m elite and now I’m working twice as hard.”

In addition to showing Cruz his level, Fierro believes that he took advantage of the big stage in February on the undercard of David Benavidez vs. David Morrell Jr. to show the Mexican people that he was a true contender. With that extra motivation, he’s promised to show that he will be the next big star to take off from the boxing-rich country.

“At the beginning of the fight, people looked at me like I was a nobody,” said Fierro. “But by the halfway point, I felt a shift, and people were already seeing me as a big-time fighter. I felt like Rocky in Russia! I proved that I’m not just a talker. I’m a true Mexican…We’re two Mexicans with pride on the line and looking to show who the next great Mexican boxing star will be. I’m fighting to bring honor to my country.”

Having already delivered a fight that’s garnering early Fight of the Year consideration, Fierro has promised to deliver even more action the second time around, and perhaps bring back memories of Fierro’s personal favorite all-Mexican rematch Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Erik Morales II.

“You’re going to see a different ‘Tashiro’ and it’s going to be an even better war than the first one,” said Fierro. “The fans will be on their feet from the very first round. I will beat ‘Pitbull’ – no matter what. He better prepare well and I think he will, because deep down he knows what he’s up against.”

Evo šta su borci morali reći četvrtak:

CALEB PLANT

“Expect fireworks. Me and my team have been grinding hard and once that bell rings, I’m gonna step on him.

“Armando thinks he can beat me, and that’s enough to piss me off. He knows what’s coming to him.

“I’m not gonna be distracted from the fight that’s in front of me. It’s happened so many times where fighters get so worried about the next fight, and they don’t win the fight in front of them. I’m not letting that happen. Armando is coming to take my spot, but I’m not gonna let that happen.

“The first thing on my mind is to put on a great performance on May 31. I want Charlo, Edgar Berlanga, Jaime Munguia, Diego Pacheco, and anyone else who’s up there. Then I’ll end up where I’m supposed to be. I’m gonna pick them off one by one.

“Some fighters lose and their confidence is shattered. Maybe their confidence was fake to begin with. A loss has never made me think I couldn’t do what I’m capable of. I take those experiences and learn to make adjustments, which a lot of fighters aren’t able to do.

“Experience isn’t something you can buy or borrow. You have to walk through the fire. I’ve been on the biggest stages in boxing. Each time you get those experiences, you take it over to the next fight.

“I’m too strong, I’m too fast and I’m too slick for Armando. I have a great team with me. We’re the A-Team. We’re coming to win and we’re going to win.

“I have the desire to win and the desire to be a champion. Even with the success I’ve had, that desire doesn’t dim at all.

“I feel strongly that you should have fun doing what you love to do. Boxing is the place where I can let go. When that bell rings, that’s when I can be myself.”

ARMANDO RESENDIZ

“I’m really looking forward to this fight. I’m in excellent shape because I’m facing an elite fighter who’s accomplished a lot. My dream has always been to fight against the best and this is making my dream come true. We’re going to give the fans a great fight.

“I know that Caleb remembers me from those sparring sessions. I believe it was right before the Canelo fight. I know that I have the tools to overcome this challenge.

“I think Caleb has some selective memory about our sparring. They took me out of the gym for a reason. I’m gonna show him exactly how much I’ve grown on May 31.

“I don’t care about anyone else but my team and my family. I’m here making my dreams come true. I’m a Mexican fighter and people are gonna see what I’m capable of. It’s not because I think I can win, it’s because I know I can win.

“Training camp has been going great and I’ve had really good sparring sessions. I’m feeling really confident and I’m ready to get it on.

“Like the Mexican fighter that I am, I always put my best foot forward. I believe in what I can do. My career has had highs and lows, but I’ve realized that there’s no opponent that I will fear.

“The fights that I’ve had in the past will allow me to be even stronger this time around.”

Charlo JERMALL

“This is gonna be a fight. I gotta do what I always do. He’s gonna come at me and make it a fight. I expect the best out of him and I’ll be ready to make the adjustments.

“Thomas LaManna is standing in the way of my goals and my dreams. But I’m ready to stand in the paint with him.

“I’m ready to get back in the ring. Those two years actually helped me. They made me better. Not only have I not taken damage, but they’ve made me stronger.

“I’m back at 100%. I feel stronger and better. I’m fully back. My team is better and everything is falling into place perfectly. I got Houston back on my back. I can carry them now.

“There’s bigger fish to fry. I just hope Thomas can go back to his family happy after.”

THOMAS LAMANNA

“We’re gonna shock the world on May 31. That’s what we’re coming to do.

“I’m glad this fight is finally here. The timing is right and I’m excited and ready. We’ll both be in that ring and ready to rumble.

“He is who he is in this sport. He’s been off for a while, but he’s never lost. This is the biggest fight of my life and I’ve been training like it.

“I’ve gotten a lot more experience since I fought Erislandy Lara. The best lesson in life is experience. Every day you get better. I’ve gotten more comfortable with these last nine wins.

“Once the call came for this fight, I answered. I’m here to write my own legacy.”

SUBRIEL MATIAS CAPTURES VACANT IBF 140-POUND WORLD TITLE WITH FIFTH-ROUND TKO OF JEREMIAS PONCE IN HIGH-OCTANE SHOWTIME® MAIN EVENT SATURDAY NIGHT FROM THE ARMORY IN MINNEAPOLIS

Minneapolis-Native Jamal James and Super Lightweight Contender Elvis Rodriguez Score Victories in Televised Undercard of Premier Boxing Champions Event

MINNEAPOLIS – February 26, 2023 -Power-punchingSubriel Matiasshowed why he’s become one of boxing’s most vaunted knockout artists as he stopped the previously unbeatenJeremias Ponceafter five rounds to win the vacant IBF 140-pound World Championship Saturday night live on SHOWTIME from The Armory in Minneapolis headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Puerto Rico’s Matias (19-1, 19 KOs) captured the title in an electric firefight that saw the two top-ranked 140-pounders throw over 800 combined punches in five rounds according to CompuBox. For Matias, the victory culminated a long journey that had him away from his family for nearly a year as he trained in Mexico for his first title opportunity.

“I’m on cloud nine right now,” said Matias. “I don’t think I’ve woken up from this dream. Maybe I can tell you how it feels tomorrow, ali sada, it’s a dream come true. I wanted to work him from the first round on, because I knew he wouldn’t have the same power as me as the fight went on.”

Ponce (30-1, 20 KOs) came out extremely aggressive and looked to swarm Matias early as he threw 96 punches in round one, out landing Matias 28 u 11. Matias adjusted in round two, closing the distance and smothering Ponce to dull some of his attack while also finding spots for his own short power punches.

I thought it was an even fight, but one punch can change everything and that’s what happened,” said Ponce. “Subriel is a tough, strong fighter and I knew what he was capable of.”

After landing a powerful left hand that hurt Ponce late in round four, Matias returned determined and sharp in round five, slijetanje 47% of his power punches over the three minutes. In the waning moments of the round, Matiaslanded the decisive blows, a series of head and body shots that badly hurt Matias and put him on the mat.

Ponce was able to make it to his stool, but his corner had seen enough and suggested that the fight be stopped, with the official result coming as a TKO at the end of round five.

“I’m fine now,” said Ponce. “My team knows me, and they made the decision that they had to make. It hurts, but the most important thing is that I’m healthy.”

“I wasn’t really surprised,” said Matias. “Once I saw how his corner reacted. I saw that [Ponce] was hurt. I thought that I was patient in the first four rounds, so I came out with a different approach and mindset in the fifth.”

Nakon borbe, with his IBF belt in tow, Matias set his sights on a unification showdown against WBC 140-pound World Champion Regis Prograis.

“Regis Prograis, I’m coming for you,” said Matias. “I’m the world champion now. I promise that I’m coming to hurt you. Prograis likes to talk the talk, but I have that same mentality. Let’s see who prevails. I want him to see that there are people crazier than him in this sport.”

U co-main event, Minneapolis-native and welterweight contenderJamal “Shango” James(28-2, 12 KOs) returned from a 16-month layoff to thrill a sold-out hometown crowd and earn a unanimous decision victory after 10-rounds against Argentine OlympianAlberto Palmetta(18-2, 13 KOs).

“I’m pretty sure everybody can see that layoff affected me,” said James. “I had a lot of rust in me. My legs weren’t sharp, my punches weren’t sharp, but I’m glad I was able to get in there. I liked that because it’s pushing me mentally and it made me step up to the occasion.”

“I thought it was an even fight,” said Palmetta. “I was the aggressor throughout against a former world champion, a taller opponent with longer reach than me.”

In his first action since losing his WBA Welterweight Title to Radzhab Butaev in October 2021, James picked up his fifth career victory at the friendly confines of The Armory. Using his considerable height and reach advantage, James was able to control much of the action and contest the bout on his terms.

“I was trying to adapt,” said James. “I definitely felt like I won the fight but I believe I could’ve done much better. I know that I’m a lot sharper. I know that my endurance is a lot stronger. I just had a lot of time off and my body is still getting back in shape. I’ll be back for sure.”

“I also like to counter, but I ratcheted up the pressure in the second half of the fight,” said Palmetta. “Maybe it looked like Jamal James was superior in the first half because he kept being conservative and countering.”

Palmetta had success countering James but was unable to put together enough combinations or hurt James during the action. James’ edge was reflected on the scorecards, as he out landed Palmetta 193 u 111, uključujući 153 u 102 edge in power punches.

James was also able to use a sharp body attack to keep Palmetta at bay, slijetanje 68 throughout the fight, u odnosu na samo 20 from Palmetta. In round nine, a sharp right uppercut caused Palmetta to stumble and let to a raucous exchange that stirred James’ hometown fans.

The crowd again rose to their feet as James and Palmetta whipped power punches throughout the final moments of round 10. James kept his perfect record at The Armory intact by wide scores of 99-91 i 98-92 dvaput.

“I know I can be a champion again because I was a champion before,” said James. “I have to stay focused. Stay in the gym and back and study this fight – actually, my last two fights – and step it up. Thanks to everybody in Minneapolis for coming and showing me love.”

In the telecast opener, super lightweight contenderElvis Rodriguez(14-1-1,12 KOs) overcame a slow start to earn a hard-fought majority decision over the hard-hittingJoseph Adorno(17-2-2, 14 KOs) nakon 10 kruga.

“Ring rust was definitely a factor,” said Rodriguez. “Maybe the struggle was more mental than physical in a way, but the important thing is that I overcame it.”

After a couple of rounds feeling each other out, Adorno was the first to have success, showing a varied attack with hooks to the body and head. He punctuated a strong fourth round with several counter hooks right before the closing bell.

In round five the action began to heat up, with Rodriguez starting to find a home for his offense as well, while still taking consistent return fire from Adorno. Rodriguez would eventually take control of the fight in the seventh roundlanding a perfect right hook that badly hurt Adorno. Rodriguez followed up quickly and forced Adorno to the canvas to score the knockdown, although Adorno was able to stay in the fight and make it through the round.

“I thought I had him once I landed that right hook, but he got up,” said Rodriguez. “He’s a warrior and a good fighter… The seventh round was huge, that’s when I truly started to win this fight. I have to give credit to Adorno for being savvy and knowing how to keep his distance before then.”

Rodriguez rode that momentum through the rest of the fight, out landing Adorno 52 u 33 across rounds seven through 10. The Freddie Roach-trained contender punctuated his victory in the final frame, landing a left that referee Jon Schorle ruled a knockdown, despite the objection from Adorno, who felt he was tripped during the exchange.

After the 10rounds Rodriguez emerged victorious on the judges’ cards, as one score of 94-94 was overruled by tallies of 95-93 i 97-91. Post-fight, Adorno expressed his belief that his early success was enough for him to earn a better result, while Rodriguez set his sights on the new 140-pound champion Matias.

I thought the judges were blind,” said Adorno. “I can’t get a win with these judges. I don’t know how you see the fight 97-91. I thought I won every round except the ones he dropped me. He never out worked me at all. I had the jab in his face and was snapping him to the body. He couldn’t do anything. No way he won seven rounds. I thought 94-94 was okay because of the two knockdowns.

“Like I said yesterday at the weigh-in, bring on the winner of the main event,” said Rodriguez. “And to my people in the Dominican Republic, just know that I’ll be back even bolder and even better next time.”

Prior to the telecast, the SHOWTIME BOXING COUNTDOWN show streamed live on theSHOWTIME SPORTS YouTube channel iSHOWTIME Boxing Facebook stranicu and was topped by a welterweight matchup that saw Minneapolis-nativeVe’Shawn Owens(14-3, 12 KOs) score a unanimous decision overKudratillo Abdukakhorov(18-2, 10 KOs) after 10-rounds.

TERRELL GAUSHA: “WE’RE GOING TO GIVE TIM TSZYU A DIFFERENT LOOK THAN HE’S EVER SEEN BEFORE”

Super Welterweight Contender Gausha Faces Unbeaten Rising Star Tim Tszyu in SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Main Event Saturday, Mart 26 from The Armory in Minneapolis

LOS ANGELES – March 17, 2022 - U.S. Olympian and super welterweight contenderTerrell Gaushais confident that he’ll be spoiling the stateside debut of unbeaten rising starTim Tszyuwhen they square off on Saturday, Mart 26 žive na SHOWTIME® headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event from The Armory in Minneapolis.

“We’ve been working on some different things for this fight,“, rekla je Gausha.. “We’re going to give Tim Tszyu a different look than he’s seen before. Compared to most of the fights that everyone has seen, they’re going to see something new from me on March 26.”

Tszyu, the son of Hall of Fame fighter Kostya Tszyu, will be making his much-anticipated debut in the U.S. against Gausha, after dominating his first 20 fights in his native Australia. For the Cleveland native Gausha, his motivation comes from within and not from the hype surrounding Tszyu entering this matchup.

“I’m just motivated period,“, rekla je Gausha.. “It’s got nothing to do with any hype around Tszyu. It has everything to do with where I’m at in my life and my career. Things are happening at the right time for me. I’m in a good place. This is the perfect fight for me at this point in my career.

“I appreciate him for taking this challenge. Most other fighters would try to protect their record. This shows that he believes in himself. He wants the tough fights. To se, rekao je, I think he took the wrong fight.”

Gausha scored an impressive knockout over young contender Jamontay Clark in his last fight, stopping his opponent in round two in March 2021, and will look to build on that triumph against a bigger name in Tszyu.

“That was a good fight for me against Clark,“, rekla je Gausha.. “I wanted to get right back in the ring, but sometimes it’s hard to make fights with certain guys. I have a great opportunity against Tszyu and I’m looking to capitalize and build off of my last performance. I’m going to make an even bigger splash in this fight.”

Training in Los Angeles with Manny Robles and Prenice Brewer, Gausha has received excellent sparring leading up to fight night, having shared the ring with 154-pound champion Brian Castaño, welterweight contender Vergil Ortiz and 2020 U.S. Olympian Delante Johnson. While Gausha expects Tszyu to display his typical come forward style, he plans to be ready for anything that his opponent presents.

“I expect Tim to try to bring pressure and come forward,“, rekla je Gausha.. “He’s a one-trick pony. What you see is what you get. He doesn’t do too many things spectacularly, but what he does do well, he does it very well, and that’s bring the pressure. We have something ready for that and we’re going to do our thing no matter what he tries to do.”

Gausha previously challenged for the 154-pound world title in losing a 2017 decision against Erislandy Lara and also owns a decision defeat to Erickson Lubin and a draw against former champion Austin Trout. Sada, Gausha will look to catapult himself right back into the title picture with a victory on March 26.

“After everyone sees this performance on March 26, they’re going to know where I fit into this division,“, rekla je Gausha.. “I’ve got a job to do. Odmah, I’m really just starting to show people my skills and what I can do. This is going to solidify that. I’m knocking on the door of a title fight right now. A win over Tszyu would be great for my career and get me to the world titles.”

ARLINGTON, T.X. – Mart 17, 2022 - Three sensational matchups have been added to the SHOWTIME PPV lineup headlined by WBC and IBF world champion Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. and WBA World Champion Yordenis Ugas squaring off in a welterweight title unification clash on Saturday, April 16 live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

The pay-per-view telecast begins at 9 poslije podne. ET / 6 sati. PT and features exciting lightweight contender Isaac "Pitbull" Cruz taking on veteran former world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa in the 10-round co-main event.

The lineup also includes unbeaten Jose Valenzuela bore bivši prvak svijeta Francisco "El Bandido" Vargas in a 10-round lightweight fight, plus unbeaten Cody Crowley faces veteran contender Josesito Lopez in a 10-round duel of all-action welterweights that kicks off the telecast.

Ulaznice za live event, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Man Down Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at SeatGeek.com, the Official Ticketing Provider of AT&T Stadium.

“One of the year’s biggest events will feature a deserving pay-per-view undercard lineup loaded with consequential matchups that are primed to deliver drama and action,” said Tom Brown, Predsjednik TGB Promocije. “Isaac Cruz showed against Gervonta Davis that he is a star in the making, and he’ll be looking to display those talents once again against an accomplished opponent in Yuriorkis Gamboa. Više, another rising star in Jose Valenzuela will step up in competition against former champion Francisco Vargas, while Cody Crowley and Josesito Lopez will both bring their high-octane styles into the ring in what shapes up to be a ‘can’t-miss’ showdown to open the loaded SHOWTIME PPV.”

The 23-year-old Cruz (22-2-1, 15 KOs) will return to the ring after dropping a competitive decision against three-division champion Gervonta Davis on SHOWTIME PPV in December. A native of Mexico City, Cruz shot up the lightweight rankings in 2020, announcing his presence with an electrifying first-round knockout over veteran Diego Magdaleno in October. Cruz followed that up in 2021 by winning a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Matías Romero in March and by defeating former champion Francisco Vargas by decision in June. After making his U.S. debut in December 2019, Cruz went unbeaten in his next four bouts, appearing on SHOWTIME® three times in addition to beating Magdaleno on the Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz SHOWTIME PPV undercard.

“I can’t wait to be back in the ring and to fight at AT&T Stadium,"Rekao je Cruz. “I love the fans in Texas, they always give me tremendous support. Moj promoter, Manny Pacquiao, has fought at AT&T Stadium before and won both times. I’m excited to follow in his footsteps against a very accomplished former champion in Gamboa. I’m coming to show the fans why I’m one of the best lightweights in the world and to drive Gamboa into retirement on April 16.”

Gamboa (30-4, 18 KOs) is a former unified featherweight champion, holding the IBF and WBA 126-pound titles between 2009 i 2011. A native of Guantanamo, Kuba, he now lives and trains in Miami, Fla. He dropped a showdown against Terence Crawford in a 2014 Fight of the Year, before rebounding to win seven of eight fights. That run included victories over former world champions Jason Sosa and Roman Martinez, putting Gamboa back into world title contention. In his last two fights, Gamboa has dropped contests against current lightweight world champions, losing via 12th-round TKO to Gervonta Davis in 2019 and by decision against Devin Haney in November 2020.

“I always come to the ring to display my talents and April 16 Neće biti drugačiji,” said Gamboa. “It’s very motivating to be facing a young, strong opponent like Isaac Cruz. I’m going to test him and see if he can stand up to my power. I’m coming to win and make a big statement that I still have what it takes to become champion again.”

The 22-year-old Valenzuela (11-0, 7 KOs) now trains as a stablemate of unbeaten two-time world champion David Benavidez as he seeks to move from prospect to contender in 2022. Born in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Meksiko, Valenzuela turned pro in 2018 and rode a five-bout knockout streak before earning his first 10-round decision in a victory over Deiner Berrio in September 2021. Valenzuela capped off his breakout 2021 u prosincu, dominating Austin Dulay on his way to a TKO in round four.

“It’s a dream come true to be on a high-stakes, stacked card like this,” said Valenzuela. “I’ve admired and studied Spence for a long time, especially because we’re both lefties. I can’t wait to get in the ring. I’m not overlooking or underestimating Francisco Vargas in any way. I’m expecting fireworks. You always get a big fight when two Mexican warriors go head-to-head, so I know the fans are going to be delighted with what they see on April 16.”

Fighting out of Mexico City, Vargas (27-3-2, 19 KOs) won a 130-pound title in 2015 by defeating Takashi Miura in one of the year’s best fights. The 37-year-old would go on to fight Orlando Salido to an action-packed draw before losing his title to Miguel Berchelt in another memorable affair. Vargas later defeated Stephen Smith and Rod Salka before losing in his rematch with Berchelt in 2019. Nedavno, Vargas began campaigning at lightweight, scoring back-to-back victories over Ezequiel Aviles in 2019 and Otto Gamez in 2020, prior to dropping a decision against Isaac Cruz in his last fight in June 2021.

“It is an honor to be on such a big card with so many great fighters,” said Vargas. “I’m going to come prepared for this fight and ready to leave the ring with a victory. I know Valenzuela will be trying to make a statement, but I’m coming to do the same. Kao i uvijek, the fans can expect a tremendous fight from start to finish.”

Representing his native Ontario, Kanada, Crowley (20-0, 9 KOs) returns to the ring after a sensational SHOWTIME debut in December 2021 that saw him beat the previously unbeaten Kudratillo Abdukakhorov by unanimous decision. Crowley had previously defeated Josh Torres in September 2020 following a 2019 run that saw him win a Canadian super welterweight title with a 12-round decision over Stuart McLellan in February before successfully defending that title with a dominant decision over Mian Hussain in October. The 28-year-old returned to fight in the U.S. for his last two fights after seven of his first eight pro fights took place in the U.S.

“After my win in December on SHOWTIME, I’m ready to accept the next challenge on my journey to becoming welterweight champion of the world,” said Crowley. “Josesito Lopez is always tough and he brings an exciting style to the table. Unfortunately for him, he will discover what 20 fighters before him have learned, which is that I will not be stopped from achieving my destiny. I want to thank my team for this opportunity to display my skills, heart and relentlessness on this great card at the home of the Dallas Cowboys.”

Lopez (38-8, 21 KOs) earned the nickname “The Riverside Rocky’’ because of his go-for-broke style in the ring. He has stepped in across from some of the top boxers in the sport, including champions Canelo Alvarez, Marcos Maidana, Andre Berto and Victor Ortiz. The 37-year-old from Riverside, California is always a tough out in the ring as noted by his narrow majority decision loss to then-champion Keith Thurman in 2019. Since that loss, Lopez has put together back-to-back victories, defeating John Molina, Jr. and Francisco Santana.

“I’m eager and very motivated to step back in the ring and prove myself as one of the best fighters in the world,", Rekao je Lopez. “I expect a stiff challenge from Crowley and the fans can expect to see me at my very best. I’m in great shape and ready to put everything on the line. You will definitely want to make sure you don’t miss my fight on April 16.”

"Iz prve ruke će naučiti koliko sam opasan... Volim kada ljudi misle da će ih moć spasiti od mene."

Neporažena zvijezda u usponu Colbert bliži se obračunu protiv neporaženog dominikanskog olimpijca Hectora Garsije na čelu uživo na SHOWTIME® Subota, Februar 26 u Premier Boxing Champions Eventu iz The Cosmopolitan
Las Vegas

BROOKLYN – Februar 18, 2022 - Neporažen zvijezda u usponu Chris “Primetime” Colbert održao medijski trening u svom rodnom gradu Bruklinu u petak, dok se priprema za borbu protiv neporaženog dominikanskog olimpijca Hector Garcia u glavnom događaju SHOWTIME u subotu, Februar 26 na događaju Premier Boxing Champions iz Chelseaja unutar The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

Colbert vs. Garcia je na vrhu liste SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® tripleheader počinje u 10 poslije podne. ET / 7 sati. PT dok se neporaženi borci poklapaju u WBA eliminatoru za titulu u super poluteškoj kategoriji.

Ulaznice za live event, koja se promovira TGB Promocije, su sada na rasprodaji i mogu se kupiti preko Ticketmaster.com.

25-godišnji Colbert je držao trening u NYC Cops & Dječiji bokserski klub u kojem je započeo svoj bokserski put, iz njegovih odlikovanih dana u amaterskim redovima, njegovoj naprednoj profesionalnoj karijeri. Evo šta je Colbert rekao o trening kampu, njegov februar 26 protivnik i drugo:

CHRIS COLBERT

“Iz prve ruke će naučiti koliko sam opasan. Ne brine me ništa što on donosi u ring. Volim kada ljudi misle da će ih moć spasiti od mene.

„Ne moram da ispunjavam naziv 'Primetime', to sam samo ja. To sam ja. Ljudi znaju ko sam ja. Imam samo posao koji treba da obavim i obaviću ga u februaru 26.

„Zapravo ne znam ništa o Garsiji. Znam da ima dvije ruke i dvije noge, a osim toga očekujem da će donijeti svoju A-igru, jer mora protiv mene. Nema šanse da ga pustim da uđe kao kasnu zamenu i pobedi me.

„Veći dio trening kampa proveo sam s trenerom Aurelianom Sosom i Hermanom Caicedom u Caicedo Sports dolje u Majamiju, ali sa promjenom protivnika donio sam odluku da se vratim u svoju teretanu u Bruklinu jer ovdje imamo tri ljevaka u teretani.

„Jedina prava razlika za ovaj kamp je što sada imam nutricionistu, tako da su me stavili na strogu dijetu i samo sam više fokusiran nego ikad. Druga stvar u vezi sa ovim kampom je da sam se prvobitno trebao boriti sredinom decembra, ali onda je to vraćeno na sada. Dakle, prošli smo kroz dva kampa u osnovi. Ukupno je trajalo oko 14 sedmica kampa.

“Otišli smo u Majami uglavnom zbog vremena, i zbog naše veze sa trenerom Hermanom. Mrzim hladnoću na sjeveru. A onda su za mene u Majamiju dobili mnogo kvalitetnih sparing partnera i dali su mi dobar posao da se spremim za ovu borbu.

„Sve radim o prilagođavanju. I ranije su mi se dešavale zamjene protivnika, i znam da je ovo dio boksačkog posla. Samo moram da se kotrljam sa udarcima, napravi limunadu od ovih limuna i uradi ono što ja radim u februaru 26.

“Ne borim se za pojaseve. Borim se za novac i svoje nasleđe. Imam još posla sljedeće subote. I dalje primam platu. Nakon što pobedim, Uskoro ću se ponovo boriti za pojas i ponovo biti plaćen za tu borbu.”

“Veoma sam zahvalan cijelom svom timu što mi je pružio ovu priliku,” rekao je García, koji posjeduje evidenciju o 14-0, sa 10 nokauta. “Vrijeme je da pokažemo svijetu da je dominikanski borac sakriven u sjeni i da je spreman baciti se na ovu šansu."

García se suočio s Colbertom nakon što se WBA prvak u poluteškoj kategoriji Roger Gutiérrez povukao zbog pozitivnog testa na COVID-19. Uprkos iznenadnoj promeni, 30-godišnjak je spreman za ono što vrhunski vješt Colbert donosi u ring.

“Ne smatram Chrisa Colberta posebno opasnim,” rekao je García. “Gledao sam ga kako se ranije bori i znam da moram biti okretan, pošto je veoma brz. Sparingovao sam sa mnogim partnerima na treningu koji imaju stilove slične njegovom ovdje u Las Vegasu i to bi mi trebalo pomoći da se prilagodim kada budemo u borbi.”

Trenirao renomirani trener Ismael Salas u Las Vegasu, García je sparingovao sa šampionima i najboljim kandidatima, uključujući Devina Haneya i Rolanda "Rolly" Romera. U ovu borbu ulazi nakon najimpresivnije pobjede u karijeri, jednoglasnom odlukom trijumfa nad Isaacom Avelarom u decembru. 2021.

“Pazim da ostanem u formi čak i ako ne treniram za određeni datum ili protivnika,” rekao je García. “Čuo sam za ovu priliku kada sam se vratio u Las Vegas iz Dominikanske Republike, i jednostavno sam znao da moram zgrabiti bika za rogove. Trudim se da ovo maksimalno iskoristim tako što imam najbolju moguću pripremu.”

San Juan de la Maguana, Proizvod iz Dominikanske Republike zna da je ovo njegova šansa da od autsajdera pređe u kandidata za svjetsko prvenstvo, i planira da pokaže svoju svestranost i moć u najvećoj borbi u karijeri do sada.

“Ljudi će svjedočiti mom potencijalu 26. februara,” rekao je García. „Takođe će saznati da se mogu tučati ili taktičiti sa bilo koje distance. Kad bih se jednom riječju morao definirati kao bokser, to bi bilo 'svestrano'. Moja moć je oružje jer te mogu povrijediti bilo čime i svime što bacim.”

García je strastveni navijač Boston Red Soxa koji je nekada igrao bejzbol i sanjao o tome da postigne houmranove na Fenway Parku dok se divio legendama dominikanskog bejzbola kao što je Pedro Martínez, David Ortíz i Manny Ramírez. Njegova porodica je željela da studira, ali njegov polubrat ga je okrenuo boksu kada je García bio tinejdžer.

„Bejzbol je bio moja prva ljubav, ali moj stariji polubrat Derlin Valdez je boksovao i on bi me ohrabrivao da učinim isto,” rekao je García. “Stalno mi je govorio da idem u teretanu i, kada sam bio 14, Odlučio sam poslušati njegov savjet i posvetiti se boksu. U početku nisam baš htela, ali takođe nisam imao resurse koji su mi bili potrebni da budem pravi profesionalac za bejzbol.”

García je postao profesionalac u decembru 2016 nakon drugoplasiranog cilja na 2015 Pan-Am igre u Torontu i kvalifikacije za 2016 Olimpijske igre u Rio de Janeiru.

“Čekao sam (2016) Olimpijske igre prije nego što postanem profesionalac,” rekao je García. “Moj san je bio da osvojim medalju, i nisam stigao zbog nepravednog poraza tokom preliminarnih rundi.”

Šest godina kasnije, boks je i dalje porodična stvar u domaćinstvu Garsije. To je ono što ga pokreće na uspjeh.

“Moj cilj je da budem svjetski prvak, i posvećen sam tome da svojoj porodici pokažem da sam zaista u stanju da budem uspešan kao sportista,” rekao je García. „Hteli su da učim, studija, uči i uči još malo, ali ja im pokazujem da sam postigao svoj cilj.”
