Williams, of Fort Washington, Maryland, på 28, er 10 years younger than Stevenson and also left-handed.

In both of those two fights, Williams was an underdog, but his determination and lethal punch made the difference. “There were many who had lost trust in me two years ago after my loss to Gabriel Campillo (24-6-1, 11 KOS),” Williams explained. “I don’t make excuses but there were circumstances that led to this result. I’m coming off the best performance of my career and I’m ready to make a change Juli 29 in terms of the holding title belt. Stevenson has never faced a puncher like me in the past.

MONTREAL (Juni 4) – As the world mourns the loss of Muhammad Ali, Lørdag night’s Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on ESPN and ESPN Deportes telecast began with aCeremonial 10-Countin memory of “The Greatest” and continued to pay tribute to him throughout the telecast that was headlined by a light heavyweight bout between hard-hitting Russian Olympian Artur Beterbiev against Argentina’s Ezequiel Maderna.
The 31-year-old Beterbiev (10-0, 10 KOS), who fights out of Montreal, returned to the ring after an almost year-long layoff following shoulder surgery. Now seven months removed from the procedure, Beterbiev looked sharp from the opening bell as he threw straight right hands and body shots effectively to start the fight.
Maderna, who was also coming off of a long layoff, was hoping to make a statement in his first fight on North American soil as he moved up in weight for this bout. Beterbiev utilized his power and precision to control the entire fight, but kicked it into high gear in the third round, sending the 29-year-old Maderna to the canvas with two right hands. He stood up, but soon after was sent to the canvas again. Denne gang, spitting out his mouth piece to delay the bout causing Referee Marlon B. Wright to deduct a point.
At the start of round four, Maderna was dropped with a punishing right hand. He rose to his feet only find himself canvas agan, looking at his corner, they threw in the towel and the fight was stopped at 54 seconds of round four.
I am really satisfied by my performance,” said Beterbiev. “I want to thank my team for their patience during my inactivity.
My guy did really well after an absence of a year,” said Beterbiev’s trainer Marc Ramsay. “He is very special. In a short or medium period of time, we want to fight in a world championship.
The PBC on ESPN telecast, which is the first of seven between Juni 4 og august 12, opened with two welterweight southpaws facing off in hopes of maintaining their undefeated records. Men, it didn’t take long for Florida’s Bryant Perrella (14-0, 13 KOS) to prove he was the better man as he scored a second round TKO over Washington, D.C.’s David Grayton (14-1, 10 KOS).
Grayton was more active at the beginning of the fight, working his right hand on the inside. Perrella used his longer reach and height difference to his advantage as he did his best to dictate the pace. Perrella knocked Grayton down in the beginning of the second round and became forceful with the right hand as Grayton left himself open to punishment. Endelig, Perrella threw a left that caused Grayton to stumble and referee David Griffin waved off the fight at 2:19.
He came in real tougha tough competitor,” Said Perrella. “I was the best man tonight. I caught him with some really hard shots, dazed him. I took my time, I listened to what my team said and got him out of there.
This is tremendous,” Perella continued. “This is what we’ve been wanting for a while to fight another undefeated prospect and get the recognition we feel we deserve. The welterweight division is filled with lions, tigers and bears, but I’m Tarzan baby. I’m the king of this jungle. I’m ready for whatever.
Also featured on the telecast was a six-round super welterweight contest between prospect Jamontay Clark (10-0, 6 KOS) of Cincinnati and Mexican warrior Edgar Ortega (16-6, 10 KOS). The game Ortega shocked the six-foot-two Clark in the first round, sending him to the canvas with a hard right hand. Clark regained his composure in between the first and second, controlling the fight from then on. Despite taking the fight with nine days’ meddelelse, Ortega stayed with Clark all six rounds, even rolling his ankle in the fourth. After the final bell rung, Clark remained undefeated, registering a unanimous decision victory with the judges scoring the bout 58-55 og 58-54 (to gange).

Perrella to face Grayton June 4 på ESPN

 

Fort Myers, FL (Maj 11, 2016) – Welterweight sensation Bryant “Goodfella” Perrella will face his toughest foe to date when he challenges fellow unbeaten southpaw David “Day-Day” Grayton Lørdag, Juni 4 på Bell Centre i Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

 

The Perrella-Grayton bout serves as the co-main event of a Premier Boxing Champions card televised on ESPN.

 

Living and fighting out of Fort Myers, FL, the heavy-handed Perrella has a stellar 13-0 professionel hovedbog med 12 vinder ved knockout. Against Grayton, the 6’0 Perrella fights on TV for a third consecutive time, previously halting both Chaquib Fadli and Ramon Ayala. Forud for dette, Perrella impressively stopped dangerous Patrick Boozer, ending a remarkable year and a half run where he took out three previously unbeaten fighters. Som en amatør, Perrella competed in the 2012 US Olympic Trials where he defeated current rising star Regis Prograis before coming up short against Sammy Vasquez and eventual winner Errol Spence.

 

Hailing from talent-laden Washington, DC, Grayton is an excellent 14-0 and has ten kayos. I oktober 2015, Grayton bested often-avoided Martin Wright over eight rounds. Fighting under the tutelage of George Peterson, who developed Paul Williams into one of boxing’s best fighters, Grayton had an excellent amateur pedigree of his own. I 2010, he defeated the aforementioned Spence to capture National Golden Gloves title and he also won bronze at the 2012 turnering.

 

“I know he’s undefeated and is coming to fight but this is a big step up for him,” Perrella said of Grayton. “I expect him to try and drag me into a dog fight. Regardless of what he brings, I’m looking forward to come out on top with a great performance. I’ve fought the better opposition and have been asking for harder fights. I believe I’m an overall better fighter and on Juni 4 everybody will see that.”

 

Michael Nowling, Perrella’s head trainer, is very familiar Grayton and is equally as confident his fighter will emerge victorious.

 

“David Grayton is a strong and athletic southpaw that is coming to win. Uanset, he’s never fought anybody like Bryant Perrella. For some time now, I’ve wanted Bryant to step up and fight another prospect because I believe he’s better than a lot of guys out there. Against Grayton, our plan is to break him down and win in style. Doing so in a fight like this can set us apart from other prospects.”

 

The card is promoted by Groupe Yvon Michel (GYM) and is headlined by a bout featuring light heavyweight contender Artur Beterbiev against 2008 Argentinean Olympian Ezequiel Maderna.

 

Tickets will be available on Groupeyvonmichel.ca/eng/tickets.html shortly.

TIDLIGERE WBC sværvægt Gold Cup, HALL OF FAME PROMOTER DON KING, TRAINER DON HOUSE MEET THE MEDIA TO DISCUSS BOXER’S CONDITION, FUTURE FOLLOWING HIS LOSS TO DONTAY WILDER ON SATURDAY NIGHT

 

Press Conference Quotes; Mandag, Jan. 19, at MGM Grand

LAS VEGAS (Jan. 19, 2015) - To nætter efter at være blevet indlagt efter hans tab til ubesejrede udfordrer Deontay WilderSHOWTIME® fra MGM Grand Garden Arena, former WBC Heavyweight Champion Gold Cup, hans Hall of Fame promotor, Don King, og hans træner, Don House, vært en pressekonference sent i dag på MGM Grand.

 

Her er, hvad de havde at sige:

 

PROMOTER DON KING

 

"Vi kaldte denne pressekonference, fordi Bermane vi så på lørdag nat var ikke Bermane vi alle kender. Deontay Wilder gjorde et meget godt stykke arbejde; dette er ikke en pressekonference efter undskyldninger, det er for forhold,. Lægerne på hospitalet i UMC sagde, at han havde et alvorligt tilfælde af dehydrering. Hans muskler arbejdede ikke, og de troede, at han havde blod i hans urin, så de tog nogle prøver og holdt ham på hospitalet indtil i morges.

"Vi ønsker at klappe Deontay Wilder for at gøre sit job, men manden foran ham var handicappede og ude af stand til at gøre sit job, men det bør ikke tage noget væk fra hans sejr. Deontay udføres, og gjorde et stort stykke arbejde. Det er uheldigt,, men Bermane bliver nødt til at gøre det en anden dag. Kendskab til mester, vi har i Deontay har så veltalende udtalt, at han vil tage på nogen, Jeg er sikker på, uden nogen tøven, han ville give en omkamp med den virkelige Bermane end den mand, der var handicappede i ringen, ikke tage væk sejren, han havde, og den måde, han lyste.

"Vi priser Deontay og håber, at han kan være mester længe nok til, hvor vi kan have en omkamp af" Return to Glory. «

"Ligesom vores store militær, når de bliver slået ned, de kommer tilbage igen. Selv med hans svær dehydrering Bermane stadig stod der i 12 runder.

"Vi vil gerne takke Richard Sturm, Formand for MGM Grand underholdning og Stephen Espinoza med SHOWTIME Boxing til at spille en stor rolle i at få dette program sammen. Vi bifalder både vores medarbejdere og MGM personale for at gøre et prisværdigt stykke arbejde for at gøre dette til at ske. Ånden for "Tilbage til Glory 'var høj. Vi havde en stor kort med Amir Imam i kampen om natten, få slået ned og få tilbage op. Alle kampe var usædvanlige. Det var en god aften med boksning for fans, og det er det, vi er virkelig om.

"Don House så veltalende erklærede sundhed Bermane er så vigtigt, så da jeg fandt ud af han var på hospitalet, Jeg gik til ophold dagen der med ham, fordi som regel bare sender vi dem til hospitalet for at få tjekket ud, men de besluttede at holde ham. Da de besluttede at holde ham, Jeg var nødt til at komme over der og se min fighter. Personalet var fantastisk og meget imødekommende til mig og meget definitiv om, hvad der kunne være galt, og undersøger alle aspekter. De sagde, at han er sund og burde tage ud en måned eller så at få nogle resten og derefter komme til at arbejde for at forberede hans tilbagevenden til herlighed og generobre sværvægter krone, der i øjeblikket indehaves af en stor mester ved navn Deontay Wilder. "

Gold Cup

 

"Jeg vil gerne undskylde for ikke at post-kampen pressekonference. Desværre var jeg ikke i stand til at udføre i kampen ligesom jeg ønskede at på grund af alvorlige dehydrering og muskelskader. Jeg vidste ikke, det var så alvorligt, indtil de fortalte mig. Jeg kunne have døde af det. Jeg er glad for at bare være mig selv, walk and talk again. Thank God for this, det er virkelig hvad der betyder noget for mig at være sund lige nu.

"Jeg vidste ikke, sværhedsgraden af ​​den Lørdag nat. Jeg var i stand til at give folk et godt show, 12 runder af boksning. Hvis jeg skulle gøre det igen ville jeg gøre det igen. Dette er ikke enden for mig. Jeg vil give det et par uger, og derefter komme tilbage til arbejdet. Jeg har en vision for dette, men lige nu er det bare på pause. Det er bare et spørgsmål om tid, før jeg får tilbage på mine fødder og gå igen. Når det kommer til mit helbred, Jeg er blevet udskrevet fra sygehuset. De ville ikke lade mig forlade indtil jeg var tilstrækkeligt hydreret. Jeg er taknemmelig. Tak til min promotor og træner, alle, der har hilst mig.

"Til mine fans, Jeg undskylder for ikke at kunne udføre som Bermane plejer. Jeg ved, at folk, der virkelig kender mig, vide, hvordan jeg kæmper. Min sidste kamp med Chris Arreola, Jeg gav dig et godt show. Det er uheldigt, at jeg ikke kunne gøre, hvad jeg ønskede at gøre med min kamp med Deontay Wilder. Jeg vil gerne lykønske ham, han kæmpede en god kamp. Forhåbentlig et eller andet sted i fremtiden vil vi mødes igen.

"Tak alle for at komme ud til pressemødet, Jeg er tilbage på mine fødder 100 procent lige nu. Jeg skal bare have et par uger eller en måned af hvile at være tilbage, hvor jeg slap. "

DON HOUSE, Stiverne træner

"Tak fyrene for at komme ud. Det vigtigste er, at Bermane er OK. Det er min største bekymring. Jeg har bemærket et eller andet sted i kampen, sandsynligvis omkring den tredje eller fjerde runde, noget ikke var rigtigt. Selv om han fortalte mig, han var OK, vi alle kender Bermane. Jeg har ikke noget imod at tabe en kamp, men jeg vidste noget var ikke rigtigt, så jeg var meget bekymret. Omkring niende eller 10. runde tænkte jeg at stoppe kampen, fordi du ikke behøver at fortsætte, men han ønskede at holde kampene.

"Man kunne ikke se Bermane, du så måske 10-15 procent af Bermane. Jeg tror virkelig og virkelig følte det burde have været en anstændig kamp for Bermane, men ville vare fire runder eller mindre, fordi hans magt og hastighed. Vi har aldrig undervurderet ham. Vi trænede som om han kæmpede King Kong. Jeg træner hver fighter sådan, undervurdere ingen. Men Lørdagnat, vi havde om 15 procent af Bermane.

"Vi kommer til at se tilbage, se, hvad vi gjorde forkert, hvordan vi kan gøre tingene bedre, hvad vi skulle have gjort. Vi vil tage et kig på, hvordan dehydrering kan være sket. Vi vil tage et kig på kampen og nogle af de ting, vi gjorde i uddannelse og finde ud af, hvad vi gjorde forkert. "

LAS VEGAS (Jan. 17, 2015) – Og den nye WBC Heavyweight verdensmester…

 

Amerika endelig har sin sværvægter verdensmester som Alabama Deontay Wilder detroniserede forsvarende mester Gold Cup via enstemmig afgørelse (118-109, 119-108, 120-107) Lørdag på SHOWTIME® fra MGM Grand Garden Arena i Las Vegas.

 

Wilder (33-0, 32 KOS), der aldrig havde kæmpet forbi fjerde runde og havde slået ud af alt 32 af sine faglige modstandere, boxed brilliantly behind a stellar jab to become the first U.S.-born heavyweight champion in nearly a decade. The towering 6-foot-7 Tuscaloosa native capitalized on his reach advantage, jabbing konsekvent at sætte en kraftfuld lige ret op.

 

Fighting på Hall of Famer Muhammad Alis 73rd fødselsdag, Wilder blev den første ubesejrede amerikanske sværvægter mester siden Riddick Bowe i 1992 og den første amerikanske champion siden Shannon Briggs vandt kronen i 2006.

 

“Jeg er bare spændt og glad for at bringe dette bælte tilbage til Amerika,” Wilder sagde. “Det kommer til at betyde meget. I think I answered a lot of questions tonight. We knew we could go 12 runder. We knew we could take a punch. We knew we could do it.

 

På vej ind i første sværvægter mesterskabet kamp at MGM Grand, siden den berygtede Mike Tyson-Evander Holyfield øre bid i 1997, Der var spørgsmål fra boksning insidere hvis Wilder, der havde aldrig været virkelig testet, kunne håndtere effekten af ​​et ægte sværvægter og sidste i de senere runder. But Wilder answered those questions with a disciplined game plan, landing mere end det dobbelte af de samlede stempler og smide 420 jabs til Stiverne s 139.

 

When I saw he could take a great punch we knew we were in for the long run. Twelve rounds is nothing. I want to bring excitement back to the heavyweight division. Whoever is ready, Jeg er klar.”

 

Stiverne (24-2-1, 21 KOS) var i stand til at forskyde Wilder med et par skud, but he did not throw enough jabs or cut off the ring effectively. Wilder was allowed to circle the ring and pop his jab at will. Stiverne landed just 39 jabs forhold til Wilders 120.

 

“Det var ikke min aften,” Stiverne Dirita. “Jeg følte 100 procent før kampen, men når jeg fik i ringen kunne jeg ikke skære ringen, I couldn’t move my head like I usually do. Hvad kan jeg sige? Congrats to him.

 

I knew I was trying to throw combos of four or five punches and I could only throw two of them. I just felt like I was flat in the ring. What I know I could do I didn’t do. I just have to go back and learn from my mistakes and find out what happened tonight.

 

WBC Super-bantamvægt verdensmester Leo Santa Cruz forsvarede sin krone for fjerde gang med en ottende-runde TKO Jesu Ruiz og efterskrift råbte kolleger mestre Abner Mares og Guillermo Rigondeaux i co-funktion i SHOWTIME Championship Boxing.

 

De tidlige runder var tæt og konkurrencedygtige og Ruiz, en tung underdog, seemed to be a tougher test than he looked on paper. But it was clear that Santa Cruz was landing the cleaner shaper punches. The former bantamweight world champion landed some meaningful shots and had Ruiz in trouble in the seventh and, for første gang, viste det sig, at han kunne afslutte Ruiz.

 

Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17 KOS) kom ud flammende i den ottende, landed a big right cross to kick off the round and continued to tee-off on the challenger. In trouble against the ropes and not fighting back, dommer Kenny Bayless sprang ind og stoppede kampen med Ruiz (32-6-5, 21 KOS) stadig på hans fødder på :29 of the eighth round. The champion landed 43 procent af hans samlede stempler og næsten 50 procent af hans magt slag, mens landing en imponerende 73 magt skud på kroppen.

 

“Som jeg forventede, Det var en krig,” Santa Cruz said. “He came prepared. We hurt him and we didn’t let the chance go away. We kept going after him and we stopped him. I hurt him with the right hand. I knew he was hurt so I went after him. I knew Kenny Bayless would stop it because he wasn’t throwing punches.

 

I want the best and I want to please the fans. Jeg ønsker (Abner) Mødre, Jeg ønsker (Regning) Rigondeaux. Forhåbentlig vores næste kamp er mod en af ​​de bedste.”

 

Ruiz, der kun landede 22 procent af hans samlede slag, var uenig med standsningen.

 

“Jeg vil have en omkamp,” Ruiz sagde. “Jeg føler ikke, de burde have stoppet kampen, but I have to accept it. But I’m fine. Se på mig – Jeg er ikke skære. Han havde ikke engang tabe mig.”

 

Ved indledningen anfald af SHOWTIME Championship Boxing fjersynsudsendelse, ubesejret super letvægt Amir I floored Fidel Maldonado Jr. fire gange og scorede et femte runde TKO i et slagsmål, der fremhævede fem total knockdowns.

 

Maldonado var travle fighter, men Imam floored Albuquerque bosiddende for fjerde gang i sin karriere med en kort højre lige et øjeblik, før klokken ringede for at afslutte det andet. Derefter, i en tidlig kandidat til Round of the Year, der spillede tre knockdowns, Maldonado reagerede ved at banke ned Imam for første gang i hans karriere 30 seconds into the third with a solid straight left. Imam bounced back and sent Maldonado to the canvas with a huge right with 20 sekunder tilbage i tredje og derefter igen med en lige ret som en del af et ondskabsfuldt angreb med mindre end 10 sekunder tilbage i den runde.

 

Handlingen fortsatte og Imam (16-0, 14 KOS) floored Maldonado for the fourth time in the fight with a short right followed by a left hook just seconds before the bell to close the fifth. Maldonado (19-3, 16 KOS) stod op, men var slingrende og dommer Robert Byrd standset konkurrencen på 2:59. Imam’s power was the difference, landing 50 procent af hans magt skud.

 

“Det var en hård knockdown, men champions stå op og afslutte kampen hårdt og det er, hvad jeg gjorde,” Imam sagde. “I just had to stay composed and do what I had to do. “I started timing him. When I hit him with that good shot he was out. I could see it. That was the rope-a-dope. I was swinging for the fences and that was it, Baby.

 

I’m ready for the title shot right now. I just want to fight for the title.

 

Fire af de fem knockdowns forekom med mindre end 30 seconds left in each round. Efter kampen, Maldonado indrømmede, at han simpelthen har undladt at beskytte sig selv, når de runder var nedtrapning.

 

“Jeg er lige blevet fanget med et par slag,” Maldonado said. “Han holdt sin ro og han kom ud med W. Jeg er lige blevet fanget. I got lazy in there and he capitalized. He was the better man tonight. I got kind of bored at the end of the rounds and I paid for it.

 

I de vigtigste tilfælde af SHOWTIME BOKSNING på SHO EXTREME, ubesejret lys sværvægter udsigtVyacheslav Shabranskyy (12-0, 10 KOS) holdt sin perfekte rekord intakt med en grundigt overbevisende TKO sejr Garrett Wilson (13-9-1, 7 KOS).

 

Shabranskyy holdt sig på afstand og var meget effektiv; landing 48 procent af sin magt skudt og kastede mere end 60 punches in each round. The Ukrainian prospect scored a knockdown with a right in the closing seconds of the second and another with a clean right in the final 10 sekunder af den ottende, sending Wilson face first to the canvas. Wilson beat the count but was saved by the bell as Shabranskyy unloaded more than a dozen consecutive punches.

 

Den holdbare Wilson tog en enorm bankende i det niende og tilsyneladende ikke landede en punch, tvinger dommer Jay Nady at stoppe kampen efter niende efter forslag fra ringside læge.

 

Ved indledningen anfald af SHO EXTREME telecast, sværvægter Eric Molina (23-2, 17 KOS) besejret Raphael Zumbano (32-9-1, 25 KOS) via ottende runde TKO i en ensidig affære.

 

Molina, der landede 76 procent af hans magt skud og mere end 50 procent af hans samlede slag, var tilslutning efter behag, når dommer Russell Mora standset konkurrencen på 1:28 af den ottende.

 

I et ikke-tv swing Bout, Cesar Quinonez (1-0, 1 KO), en Las Vegas indfødte og den første fighter til at gå professionelt fra Fernando Vargas’ gym Feroz Fight Factory, fik sin professionelle debut og scorede en knockout sejr over Chula Vista Joan Valenzuela (1-2) i anden runde på 2:13.
