EN TRAIN DE LIRE, Pennsylvanie. – Octobre, 27, 2019 – Top des super mi-moyens Erickson Lubin a poursuivi sa reprise avec une victoire de décision unanime dominante de 10 rounds sur Nathaniel Gallimore Samedi soir sur Showtime de Arena Santander à Reading, Pennsylvanie.

Lubin (22-1, 16 KOs) a remporté son quatrième combat d'affilée depuis une défaite par KO à Charlo Jermell dans un défi titre dans 2017. Le jeune homme de 24 ans débarquèrent 42 pour cent de ses coups de puissance en route vers la grande décision, marqué 99-91 par les trois juges.

Le gaucher est appuyé sur une banlieue crochet gauche, attaque d'une variété d'angles contre la Gallimore durable (21-4-1, 17 KOs) comme il a amélioré à 4-0 depuis le début de former avec le spécialiste Kevin Cunningham gaucher.

“J'ai eu un camp d'entraînement formidable grâce à Kevin Cunningham,” Lubin dit. “Au début, nous avions Terrell Gausha mais il est tombé à cause de sa blessure. Je vous remercie Gallimore pour intensifier à la plaque. Il m'a donné un dur combat et je l'apprécie. Nous avons donné aux fans ce qu'ils voulaient. Je l'ai mesuré. Je lui ai juste chronométré et j'ai pu atterrir mes coups de puissance.

“Kevin est un vrai entraîneur strict et il est un spécialiste gaucher. Nous sommes en train d'améliorer notre jeu chaque camp. Je veux vraiment Jermell Charlo à nouveau. Mon but est de se venger.”

Cunningham a été satisfait de son élève, qui a été poussé au-delà du cinquième tour pour la première fois depuis plus de trois ans.
“Il a toujours été un enfer d'un combattant et je voulais juste d'affiner et d'affiner l'ensemble des compétences,” Cunningham a déclaré. “Il peut faire tout ce que vous pouvez enseigner. Il est le paquet total. Il a le pouvoir, il a la vitesse, il a le jeu de jambes. Il est plus qu'un bagarreur. Il est un combattant habile avec le pouvoir.

“Il est prêt à tous les meilleurs gars dans la division. Les gars avec ceintures sont ce qu'il veut.”

Ancien champion du monde des poids légers Robert Pâques, Jr. a été victorieux dans ses débuts au super léger, remportant une décision unanime sur Adrian Granados dans un combat tout-action marqué 97-93, 98-92, 100-90.

Pâques (22-1-1 14 KOs), qui a perdu son titre des poids légers dans une unification avec Mikey Garcia 2018, a été adapté pour son premier combat un super léger contre l'un des plus agressifs de la boxe, come-combattants avant et le résultat ne déçoit pas. Granados chargé vers l'avant à partir de la cloche d'ouverture, en appuyant sur l'intérieur contre son longiligne, 5-les pieds 11 adversaire. Dans la première moitié de la lutte, Pâques a empoché tours tout en luttant à distance, se penchant sur sa vitesse pour remporter les quatre premiers tours sur les trois juges’ tableaux de bord. Mais la lutte a semblé changer de marées à mi-parcours, avec Granados en mesure de forcer le combat à être contestée à courte portée. Arrondit sept à 10 vedette énorme, échanges de back-et-vient et le Granados plus actif semblaient obtenir le meilleur des échanges.

Les combattants combinés pour jeter 1,815 poinçons total combiné et 1,379 coups de puissance combinés à travers 12 tours.

“Nous savions qu'il allait être un enfer d'un guerrier là-dedans,” Easter. “C'est ce que nous nous entraînons. Ce ne fut pas l'adversaire ordinaire et nous savions qu'il allait l'amener. Je ne suis pas surpris parce que ce qu'il fait. Vous avez vu le combattre avec les meilleurs des meilleurs et il précipitèrent. Je savais qu'il allait jeter coups de poing en grappes.

“Ce fut un enfer d'un test pour moi à 140 et je me sentais fort. Je ne demande pas à personne en particulier, mais vous savez qu'il ya des champions dans cette catégorie de poids et je viens pour toutes les ceintures. Line « em up.”

L'un des combattants d'action les plus fiables de la boxe, Granados (20-8-2, 13 KOs) a jeté plus de coups et connecté plus et a été une nouvelle fois frustrés par une décision qui ne va pas son chemin.

“Je suis sans voix. Je me sentais comme si je gagné le combat,” Granados dit. “Cette 100 à 90? Allez donc.

“Je suis fatigué de la même vieille histoire. Il était clair que je contrôlais la lutte. Il ne m'a jamais blessé avait. C'était embarrassant.

“Je ne peux pas contrôler le jugement. Il est très frustrant. Je rêve d'être un champion du monde et il semble tout comme il ne coupe pas pour moi. Mais j'ai le cœur d'un champion et je ne suis pas renoncer.”

Dans le combat d'ouverture de la télédiffusion, invaincu poids lourd cubain Frank Sanchezdressé un jeu blanc contre Jack In lowayi, remportant une décision unanime de 10 rounds a marqué 100-90 par les trois juges.

Sanchez (14-0, 11 KOs) était le combattant le plus actif de la cloche d'ouverture, ciblant le corps contre le Mulowayi défensif d'esprit (7-2-1, 3 KOs). Sanchez-27 ans, qui a pris la distance de 10 rounds pour la première fois, jeta sur 250 plus de coups que son adversaire.

“Mon adversaire ne voulait pas vraiment se battre, il voulait juste se battre sale,” Sanchez a déclaré. “Donc, tout ce que je pouvais faire était de lui donner un mouvement latéral. Il est difficile quand quelqu'un ne veut pas engager. Nous voulions le toucher vers le bas, le toucher en haut. Mais une fois qu'il avait touché, le gars a juste essayé d'attacher.

“Il n'y avait aucun problème à aller 10 tours. Je suis en grande forme et je suis prêt à se battre à nouveau le plus tôt possible. J'ai montré ce soir mon supériorité technique. Tous les ténors bien se tenir.”

Deux fois champion du monde super poids plume Gervonta “Réservoir” Davis a été interviewé lors de Télédiffusion de samedi comme il continue de se former à ses débuts léger Décembre 28 sur SHOWTIME de State Farm Arena à Atlanta. L'explosif Davis, qui se battra Yuriorkis Gamboa pour la WBA légère Championnat du Monde, continué à appeler les meilleurs combattants quand il a parlé avec l'hôte, Brian Custer.

Orlando, Florida’s Lubin (21-1, 16 KOs) was one of the fastest rising contenders in boxing as he quickly raced to the top of the ladder to challenge Jermell Charlo for the WBC 154-pound championship in 2017. Following a one-punch, first-round stoppage to Charlo, the 24-year-old Lubin has rebounded with three straight stoppage victories of his own to regain his momentum toward a world championship.

En février, Lubin became the first boxer to stop former champion Ishe Smith and is coming off a TKO victory over Zaharia Attou in his last fight in June on SHOWTIME.

It’s unfortunate that Gausha had to pull out because I was really looking forward to that fight,” said Lubin. “Now I’m facing Nathaniel Gallimore, who is a very good fighter whose only losses are to top level guys. I’m expecting a very difficult fight, one that will be explosive for the fans, but one I know I will win. It’s my time to show the world I’m ready to be back on top of the super welterweight division.

The 31-year-old Gallimore (21-3-1, 17 KOs) most recently defeated Antonio Todd by decision in August to rebound from close decision losses to unified champion Julian Williams and top-ranked contender Patrick Teixeira in 2018. Born in Kingston, Jamaica and fighting out of Evanston, Illinois, Gallimore put together a seven-fight winning streak before the Williams fight, including knockouts of contenders Justin DeLoach and Jeison Rosario.

I’m approaching this like any other big fight that was in the works for a long time,” dit Gallimore. “I’ve been waiting for this moment in my career for a while. This is a stepping stone that can take me where I want to go. Lubin’s a pretty good boxer-puncher. He was on the rise for a moment and I knew about him coming up. Ça va être un grand combat. I’ll make any adjustment in the ring to capitalize on what I need to do to be victorious that night.

Ajagba du Nigéria (11-0, 9 KOs) most recently passed the toughest test of his professional career when he defeated fellow 2016 Olympian Ali Eren Demirezen by 10-round unanimous decision in July. The 25-year-old Ajagba gained widespread notoriety in August 2018 quand son adversaire, Curtis Harper, est sorti du ring après avoir touché des gants pour commencer le premier tour. Ajagba won the fight without throwing a punch as Harper was disqualified.

Living in Stafford, Texas and training with Ronnie Shields, Ajagba has steadily increased his competition and added knockouts wins over Amir Mansour and Michael Wallisch this year.

Fighting out of Antwerpen, Belgique, by way of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mulowayi (7-1-1, 3 KOs) fera son U.S. débuts en octobre 26 in a pro career that dates back to 2015. The 32-year-old was unbeaten in his first seven pro fights before losing a narrow majority decision to Herve Bubeaux in a bout for the Belgium heavyweight title in May.

LAS VEGAS – Avril 27, 2019 – Robert Jr Pâques. and Rances Barthelemy fought to a split-draw in their matchup for the vacant WBA Lightweight World Title Saturday on SHOWTIME from The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

The challenging fight to score was ruled 115-113 Barthélemy, 115-113 Easter and 114-114. The WBA 135-pound title remains vacant following the split decision.

With both former world champions needing a win in a crossroads affair, neither fighter was able to pull the trigger in a matchup of talented counterpunchers. The tall, rangy lightweights competed on the outside for much of the 12-round bout, and while both relied on their reach to keep their opponent at bay, they failed to land many effective shots from the outside.

The switch-hitting Cuban Barthelemy (27-1-1, 14 KOs), who fought defensively for most of the fight, transitioned to mostly southpaw in the third. The former two-division world champion’s most effective punches appeared to be body shots from the southpaw stance, while Easter (21-1-1, 14 KOs) was at his best when he countered with his right.

As the 12-round affair progressed, the corners of both fightersRobert Easter Sr. and former Cuban champion Joel Casamayorpleaded with their pugilists to increase their output to little avail. Neither fighter landed 10 punches in any round, and while Easter was slightly more active they combined to throw just 743 poinçons. They combined to land just 106 poinçons totales.

I feel I did enough to win this fight but the judges saw it differently,” dit Pâques, who was fighting for the first time since losing to pound-for-pound great Mikey Garcia in a unification last summer. “They saw it a different way. Rances is a crafty fighter, an elusive fighter. I tried to take the fight to him but he wouldn’t take it. It was hard to land my shots.

Barthélemy, who was returning to lightweight after losing a rematch to Kiryl Relikh in his bid to become Cuba’s first three-division world champion, was frustrated with the decision.

Robert was absent in the ring tonight,” Barthelemy said. “I wanted him to land his right and he didn’t. I wanted him to come forward and he didn’t. We were prepared for a different Robert Easterthe one that attacksbut he didn’t show up so I couldn’t deliver my strategy.

I landed the cleaner and more accurate shots. I feel I threw more punches. I was the busier fighter. I won the fight. I think this was a missed opportunity for me. I really feel I won this fight.

Former 140-pound world champion Viktor Postol outclassed Mohamed Mimoune in a WBC Super Lightweight Eliminator, gagner par décision unanime 98-92, 97-93, 99-91 in the SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION co-feature.

Postol fought off a stiff jab and utilized his reach advantage to keep the fight at range. The Ukrainian, who was working with Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, was the more active fighter from bell to bell, lancement 587 punches compared to just 306 for the French Mimoune. While Mimoune was elusive and able to slip many of Postol’s power shots, he never left himself in a position to effectively counter his taller and more aggressive opponent. The southpaw Mimoune (21-3, 2 KOs) averaged just 30 punches per round and was off balance for much of the fight, throwing wide looping shots that rarely landed.

Après le combat, Postol attributed his victory with being able to remain disciplined and stick to the game plan of Roach.

I always try to be disciplined,” Postol said. “I did well tonight. My opponent’s style was a little awkward, but I did okay. If I could fight a guy like (Terence) Crawford, I can handle Mimoune. And I did.

Après le combat, Postol, who’s only losses came against top fighters Terence Crawford and Josh Taylor, promised to chase the elite of the 140-pound class.

I want the next big fight,” Postol said. “Doesn’t matter whoWBC Champion Jose Ramirez would be a great choice. I was away for two years so I was a little bit worried before, but now I feel like I’m back. Je suis 100 percent back and ready for the next test.


Hall of Famer Steve Farhood, who served as unofficial ringside scorer for the SHOWTIME telecast, gave Postol all 10 of the rounds in the WBC Eliminator.

Dans le combat d'ouverture de la télédiffusion, fast-rising heavyweight Efe Ajagba added another knockout to his resume with a second-round TKO of previously once-beaten Michael Wallisch.

Ajagba (10-0, 9 KOs) was aggressive from the outset, jetant presque 100 punches in the opening round. Utilizing a steady diet of 1-2 combos, Ajagba landed at will in the second against Wallisch, who fought behind a high guard but couldn’t prevent the Nigerian’s power shots from landing. After eating a series of combos in the second, Wallisch (19-2, 12 KOs) took a knee and was given time to recover after Ajagba appeared to throw and land a punch with his opponent on his knee. Wallisch got back up but was defenseless against Ajagba’s onslaught, forcing referee Tony Weeks to step in to stop the contest at 1:40.

I took my time in there, I used my jab a lot and it worked,” said Agjaba, qui a débarqué 43 pour cent de ses coups en puissance. “When I shot my right hand and he took it, I decided to keep unloading. I kept throwing combinations and I knew I was hurting him so I kept doing it.

I’m happy to be training with Ronnie (Shields). He is one of the best trainers in the world. He helped me with my jab and he’s helping me develop as a fighter.

Said trainer Ronnie Shields: “I think we still have a lot to learn. You saw he’s a busy guy and for a big guy to throw 93 punches in the first round, it’s a lot. He may be about a year away to becoming a contender. He will get there.

Tonight’s live event was promoted by Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions.

An encore presentation of the tripleheader will air Monday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available via the network’s On Demand platforms.

Here is what the workout participants had to say Tuesday from Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas:

RANCES Barthélemy

The key thing for me to get back to the top, is to get back to my roots. It’s about using what made me a champion and getting back to that. We’ve gone back to our Cuban roots in training with Joel Casamayor and left any distractions behind. You’ll see all of that in my performance on Saturday night.

Easter and myself are both on the road to redemption coming off of our first defeats. I expect the same Robert Easter Jr. that I’ve seen on tape. He comes forward and tries to fight it out. There’s nothing overly impressive about him to me.

I’m ready for whatever Robert Easter Jr. wants. S'il veut une guerre, we’ll have a war. Everyone knows I’ve never backed down, but I’m going to win this fight with the intelligence that made me a world champion.

Casamayor comes from the same streets as me, he knows my style, how I think and how I need to work. We identify with one another a lot so we don’t have to confront each other. With a simple look, I know what he’s trying to tell me. Between him and my brother, Yan, I feel blessed to have two Olympians in my corner.

To the Cuban people, this will be my best fight and and a strong performance for the Cuban boxing community. I’m going to focus and work hard like us Cubans always have since we were born. I had to grow up through hardships and I’ve worked to show that anything is possible coming from Cuba.

MOHAMED MIMOUNE

Postol is one of the best that I will face but I am not afraid. I am confident I will win. I’ve studied him together with my coach and we have a strategy in place that you will see on Saturday.

“Je suis très excité pour cette opportunité. It is every boxer’s dream to fight in Las Vegas and I am happy and ready to show the Americans what I have.

I have no issues with Postol’s height advantage. I am prepared for it. It is not my first time facing off against a boxer that is taller than me. I have a very good reach as well, but it is my speed that will beat him.

I have worked very hard after my losses and put all my effort into bettering my performance. I’m stronger and more mature now than ever. I know I have to win and I will win.

I’m looking forward to the opportunity to fight for the world title after I win on Saturday night. I’m dedicating this fight too all French people and I hope they make sure to not miss it on Saturday.

JOEL CASAMAYOR, Barthelemy’s Trainer


We’ve been training since mid-February for this fight. It’s been a long three months in the gym together. I see a different Rances. He’s fighting smarter and he’s gotten back to his Cuban roots. That’s what made him a two-time world champion.

It’s hard to predict, but if it were up to me of course I’d say Rances will win by knockout. From what I’ve seen in training camp, Rances is going to put on a great performance Saturday night. He knows what he has to do.

We have a great connection throughout camp. I just have to look into his eyes and I feel like I know what he’s going to bring. All the hard work has been done and he’s 100 percent ready for Saturday night.

MEHDI OUMIHA, Mimoune’s Trainer

Mohamed Mimoune is an improved fighter who’s shown a lot of new and different skills in training. We have the right tactics to earn this victory on Saturday.

We are prepared for what Postol can bring, but we’re focused on Mohamed Mimoune being at his best. Everything I have seen in training camp makes me very confident that we’re going to win Saturday and go on to fight for the title.

LEONARD Ellerbe, PDG de Promotions Mayweather

Rances has a tremendous amount of experience. If you look at his earlier fights before he became champion and during his championship runs, he’s fought on the big stage time and time again.

I think Rancesexperience will help in a fight like this, but Robert Easter Jr. has also been in big fights. They both bring a lot of background in exciting, high-quality fights. You have two fighters with something to prove looking to do just that live on SHOWTIME Saturday night.

After losing for the first time in his pro career in a 140-pound title fight against Kiryl Relikh last March, Barthelemy rebounded to stop Robert Frankel in December as he prepared to return to the lightweight division to face Easter. Since the loss to Relikh, Barthelemy made fellow Cuban and former world champion Joel Casamayor head trainer as he looks to return to the championship ranks.

Here is what Barthelemy had to say from training camp at Prince Ranch Bones Adams Boxing Gym in Las Vegas:

Comment le camp d'entraînement est-il allé jusqu'à présent?

Everything has been going well under the guidance of Joel Casamayor and the assistance of my brother Yan Barthelemy and Oscar Vasquez. We have been training twice a day and sparring three to four times a week against solid guys like former world champion and ex-opponent Mickey Bey. Like they say, ‘iron sharpens ironand the quality of sparring has been tremendous help in getting me ready for April 27. I feel better prepared both mentally and physically than I did in my most recent fights.


What do you make of Robert Easter Jr. and what do you know about him?

I have seen various Robert Easter Jr fights and have been studying him very closely. He’s a great boxer who likes to use his height and reach to his advantage. He’s an ex-world champion who has fought quality opponents. He deserves all of my respect but we are very confident that we will be victorious against him.

Do you feel you have been able to rebound from your first career defeat?

Most definitely, I have been able to move on and use that defeat as a lesson in my career. They say sometimes we learn more in defeat than we do in victories and that was the case in that fight.

Sometimes we do not see clearly when we are winning. Bad habits or little details that need correction are overlooked when you are winning. Sometimes we do not even see them. I feel rejuvenated and we have made many important changes that were necessary for my career. You will see on April 27 that there is still much more left from Team Barthelemy.


What would it mean to become a champion again on April 27?

We have no doubt that we’ll become champion again for a third time on April 27. This will bring my name back at the top of the sport with many potential big fights to be made. It will mean so much more to me because Cuban boxing has currently gone through a rough patch and this victory will allow Cuba to have a champion once again.

Any final message to your fans before your fight?

Please make sure to tune in on April 27. This fight will be very competitive, with two evenly-skilled former world champions looking to reclaim their status at the top of the sport. Fights like this are what make boxing great. Cuba will have a champion once again on April 27!”

Après deux défenses de titre réussies dans sa ville natale de Tolède, Ohio, Easter a battu l'ancien champion Javier Fortuna par décision en janvier 2018 combattre dans SHOWTIME.

Cette victoire a mis en place une unification avec le champion WBC Mikey Garcia, dans lequel Pâques a survécu à un renversement précoce pour pousser Garcia à fond 12 tours avant de manquer les tableaux de bord. À 5 pieds 11 pouces, Pâques a continué à montrer la combinaison de taille, les compétences et l'athlétisme qui ont fait de lui une perspective très appréciée après une carrière amateur qui a présenté une place en tant que remplaçant sur le 2012 U.S.. équipe olympique.

“Je voulais combattre Barthelemy depuis qu'il avait le titre des poids légers et l'a quitté, et maintenant j'ai la chance,” dit Pâques. “Il a un style maladroit et je suis partant pour ce défi. J'arrive toujours en tant que combattant plus grand avec un avantage de portée et je vais l'utiliser pour que ce combat se déroule comme je le souhaite. C'est un ancien champion du monde et il vient le faire comme moi.”

Barthelemy a remporté un championnat de 130 livres en battant Argenis Mendez en 2014 et a tenté de devenir le premier champion cubain en trois divisions lorsqu'il est passé à 140 livres pour son premier combat contre Relikh, un éliminateur de titre qu'il a remporté par décision. Après avoir abandonné le match revanche à Relikh dans un combat pour le titre vacant sur SHOWTIME, Barthelemy est revenu sur le ring en décembre et a arrêté Robert Frankel.

“J'attends avec impatience un grand combat contre Robert Easter Jr,” Saïd Barthélemy. “Je sais que j'ai ce qu'il faut pour le battre et remporter un autre titre et devenir trois fois champion du monde. Mes meilleures performances sont venues à 135 livres. Nous sommes tous les deux d'anciens champions du monde qui ont faim et nous offrirons aux fans une soirée sensationnelle de boxe.

LOS ANGELES (Juillet 28, 2018) – Mikey Garcia became the 10e lightweight champion to unify the division with a unanimous decision against Robert Easter Jr. Saturday on SHOWTIME, and immediately afterward set his sights on boxing’s best, namely Errol Spence Jr.

Full fight highlights here: https://s.sho.com/2LzlnJ6

 

 

 

 

All three judges scored the fight in favor of Garcia,118-109, 117-110, 116-111, in an electrifying fight in front of 12,560 fans at Staples Center in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

 

 

 

 

The four-division world champion Garcia (39-0, 30 KOs) – who was fighting in his native Southern California for the first time in seven years – keeps his 135-pound WBC title, and also claims Easter’s IBF Lightweight belt

 

 

 

 

“I’m here for the biggest challenges,”A déclaré Garcia, 30, who unified a title for the first time in his career. “I don’t know if there is anyone that is a bigger challenge than Errol Spence. I know he’s up to fight everyone so let’s make it happen. I think it can be made. I think that’s the next big fight coming up.

 

 

 

 

“I feel I have the power and the skillset to compete in any division up to welterweight. He’s the toughest guy at welterweight so I want to face him.”

 

 

 

 

Garcia scored a knock down in the third round against Easter (21-1, 14 KOs) de Tolède, Ohio, who was sent to the canvas for just the second time in his career. A strong right jab put Easter out of position, immediately followed by a devastating left hook sent Easter down with 24 seconds remaining in the round.

 

 

 

 

Garcia got better as the fight progressed. In the final four rounds Garcia out-landed Easter 95-34 in total punches and ended the fight being the more active fighter throwing 555 punches to Easter’s 507. He connected on nearly 40 percent of his power shots while Easter landed at a 24 percent clip.

 

 

 

 

“It’s a great accomplishment being here in L.A.,” Garcia said. “I was in control most of the fight, and I did what I had to do. I knew he was a tough opponent. He’s a tough warrior. He gave a great fight but I was a better fighter. I was in control of the fight and I did what I had to do to win.”

 

 

 

 

Pâques, who went into the Garcia locker room after the fight to congratulate his opponent, was gracious in defeat.

 

 

 

 

“Whenever we step in the ring we are both putting our lives on the line and tonight Mikey was victorious,” said Easter, who entered the fight as the longest reigning champion at 135 livres. “I just couldn’t find the timing and I just couldn’t let my right hand go. He caught me with a clean shot and I went down, but I got up like a true champion.”

 

 

 

 

 

During an interview at the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING host desk, Spence, a fellow top-five pound-for-pound great, said he would “definitely” welcome a fight with Garcia. “I feel like that’s the best fight available for me right now with Shawn [Porter] and Danny [Garcia] fighting in September. Keith Thurman is still recovering and needs a tune up.

Full interview here: https://s.sho.com/2veXH1T.

 

 

 

 

“He’s daring to be great, he wants to be great, he wants to move up and dethrone me and it’s not going to happen. It’s definitely going to be an easy fight. [Garcia] will be pound-for-pound No. 1 if he beats me. He has great skills but I see myself winning. I don’t really see anything that concerns me. He’s technically good, but I don’t see him hurting me at 147.”

 

 

 

 

Heavyweight southpaw Luis Ortiz (29-1, 25 KOs) returned to the ring with a resounding victory, scoring a devastating second round knockout (2:08) of former world title challenger Razvan Cojanu (16-4, 9 KOs)

 

 

 

 

Ortiz landed 42 pour cent de ses coups en puissance (eight of 19) while Cojanu landed just two of 13 (15%) in the short fight.

 

 

 

 

Ortiz was emotional after the fight. He told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray that just five days ago he learned doctors have found a cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa, a disease his daughter suffers from.

 

 

 

 

“Thanks to God they found a cure for my daughter’s disease,” Ortiz said. “My wife told me while I was boarding the plane to get here. It’s been hard to be away from them. I’m happy I won, but it’s been really hard to be away from them.”

 

 

 

 

 

Both fighters were coming off losses in heavyweight world title fights. Ortiz was fighting for the first time since challenging Deontay Wilder in a 2018 Combat de la candidate année. The 6-foot-4 Ortiz wasted little time knocking out the 6-feet-7½, 269-pound Cojanu, returning for his first fight since challenging then-WBO Heavyweight Champion Joseph Parker.

 

 

 

 

 

“In my mind King Kong has not been defeated. I don’t feel I lost against Deontay Wilder. Je veux me battre [Anthony] Joshua, but he only fights boxers he’s sure he can defeat. I’m going to ask the government to put me on disability, maybe that way Joshua will fight me.”

 

 

 

 

Dans l'ouvreur télédiffusé, Mario Barrios (22-0, 14 KOs) remained undefeated recording his sixth straight stoppage with an eighth-round TKO of Jose Roman (24-3-1, 14 KOs) in a scheduled 10-round welterweight match. Each of the judges, as well as SHOWTIME expert scorer Steve Farhood, scored the fight 80-70 in favor of Barrios at the time of the stoppage as Roman’s corner didn’t answer the bell for the ninth round.

 

 

 

 

San Antonio’s Barrios relied on effective body work in dominating the fight, connexion sur 61 de son 133 coups de corps. He connected on 44 pour cent de ses coups de puissance (104/239) par rapport à 26 percent for Roman (34/132), who had just five body shots on the night.

 

 

 

 

"[Body work] is something I’ve been able to work on,” Barrios told Gray in the ring. “You put the body work in early and by the end of the fight they have nothing left. That worked perfectly for this fight. This was the farthest I’ve gone in a while. It was great work and I feel like I’m transitioning to the fighter that I always thought I’ve be.”

 

 

 

 

Quartiers, who suffered a cut above his left eye in the first round, sent Roman to the canvas at 1:15 of the fourth round with a strong right that dazed Roman, then a left hook that put Roman down for the seventh time in his career. Barrios ended the round with a flurry of punches that left Roman stunned.

 

 

 

 

 

The 23-year-old Barrios sent Roman down again with 1:38 remaining in the eighth round. Roman survived the round, but his corner refused to answer the bell and the fight was over.

 

 

 

 

“I feel I’m ready [for a title shot)],” Barrios said. “I feel strong. I feel fast. Je suis jeune, but whatever my managers throw at me I’m ready. If I could get it tomorrow, I’d take it.”

 

 

 

 

 

It was a star-studded night at Staples as current and former world champions attended the fights, including Jarrett Hurd, Errol Spence Jr., Leo Santa Cruz, Abner Mares, Gervonta Davis and Adrien Broner.

 

 

 

 

 

Shawn Porter was also in attendance. It was recently announced that Porter and fellow former 147-pound world title holder Danny Garcia will square off against one another for the vacant WBC Welterweight World Championship live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Sept. 8 du centre Barclays à Brooklyn, N. Y..

 

 

 

 

“I’m just a different type of athlete,” Porter told SHOWTIME’s Brian Custer. “When you talk about having the tools to become a two-time world champion; I have the tools, the athleticism, the tenacity the ring generalship. You will see all of that on Sept. 8.

 

 

 

 

 

“We always say that the business has to make sense [to make fights], And it sounds to me like the business has played its part. I win the WBC Championship and you’ll get Shawn Porter vs. Errol Spence.”

 

 

 

 

 

In streaming coverage of live undercard fights on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN, undefeated super lightweight prospect Fabian Maidana (16-0, 12 KOs), the brother of former champion Marcos Maidana, recorded a seventh-round stoppage (2:32) against former world title challenger Andrey Klimov (19-5, 9 KOs).

 

 

 

 

 

Also on the live stream, 2016 U.S.. Olympian and unbeaten prospect Karlos Balderas (6-0, 5 KOs) dominated 54-fight veteran Giovanni Caro (27-24, 21 KOs) scoring a stoppage at 2:09 of the fourth round in a scheduled six-round super featherweight bout.
