Zde je to, co účastníci tiskové konference řekli ve čtvrtek z City View Terrace v centru STAPLES:

GERVONTA DAVIS

"Jsem vděčný, že jsem tady, abych dal fanouškům další skvělý zápas. To je to, co děláme. "Rolly" je tu jen proto, aby si promluvil. Snaží se promluvit k vítězství, ale on se bojí. Já jdu do boje.

„Mluví jen o jeho moci, ale toto je box. Jeho schopnosti nejsou na stejné úrovni jako moje. O moci nemůže ani mluvit, protože každý ví, že to přináším. Můžete střílet kulky, ale jak se budeš bránit, když ti kulky vrátí?

"Mluví už dlouho. Snaží se prodat boj, ale v prosinci mu ukážu, že je šmejd 5. Nejsem tady, abych mluvil, Jsem tady, abych bojoval. neberu to osobně. Mně, tohle není hovězí, tohle je byznys.

„Byl jsem na misi, když jsem bojoval s Josem Pedrazou o titul. Nemluvil jsem o odpadcích. Šel jsem tam a dokázal, že jsem top chlap. Ten chlap je tady, aby si promluvil. V prosinci budu mluvit v ringu 5.

"Jeho trenér nepracuje na ničem jiném než na síle.". Nepracují na žádných dovednostech. S nikým jako já nebojoval a uvidí ten rozdíl.

"Nikdy jsem neodmítl žádný boj. já se nikoho nebojím. Budu bojovat se všemi. Budu bojovat s těžkou váhou. To není nic pro mě. přežil jsem spoustu věcí.

„Měl sem přijít a prodat boj. mám vyhrát. Raději bych ho za to potrestal 12 kola, než ho rychle vyřadit. Část mě ho chce pokořit, ale nejdůležitější věc, kterou musíte udělat, je jít ven a dokončit práci.

„Tento zápas je pro fanoušky. Fanoušci vyhrávají prosinec 5. Ujistěte se, že přijdete a podpoříte. Jsem vděčný, že jsem v této pozici. Všechno je to o mém týmu a lidech, kteří mě postavili do skvělé pozice."

ROLANDO ROMERO

„Každý uvidí prosinec 5, Vyrazím Gervontu do prdele. Doufám, že to slyšíš.

„Od té doby volám ‚Tank‘ 2017. Měli jsme se rozběhnout 2018 a neukázal se v tělocvičně. Udělal to dvakrát, protože věděl, že ho bije. Prosinec 5, vyklepáváte se.

"Tohle prostě jsem.". Takhle jsem se narodil. K tomuto sportu jsem přišel v 17 letech a z toho, co jsem udělal, jsem vytěžil maximum. Všichni se přijďte podívat, jak ho v prosinci vyřadím 5.

"Má tak velkou hlavu, bude těžké si to nechat ujít. Dotýká se ho každý soupeř, kterému čelí. Leo Santa Cruz ho mlátil a Barrios se k němu také dostával.

"Chce utéct z ringu, kdykoli dostane ránu.". Stává se to ve sparringu i u amatérů. Byl jsem to já, kdo si tento boj musel vynutit, protože jsem léta viděl, že je to borec. Udělal kariéru tím, že porazil 126 liber.

„Nezná polovinu věcí, které jsem viděl a prošel. Jsem tady, abych ho vyřadil v ringu. Je arogantní a snaží se chovat, jako by byl tvrdý, ale vyhodím ho.

„Manny Pacquiao má také trapný styl, a podívat se, co všechno dokázal. Jen proto, že bojuji jinak, znamená to, že nemám schopnosti? Mám své vlastní schopnosti a dostaly mě tak daleko.

"Nepůjdu do ringu naštvaný.", Jen se soustředím."

FLOYD Mayweather, Prezident Mayweather Promotions

"Jsou to dva velcí bojovníci.". A když říkám skvěle, Myslím to pokaždé, když tam jdou, produkují. ‚Tank‘ je mladý kluk z Baltimoru, který měl sen. Prožil toho hodně. Probojoval se až na vrchol. Za to ho musíte pochválit. Bez ohledu na to, co kdo říká,, získal své pruhy.

„Věřím, že ‚Tank‘ je jedním z nejlepších bojovníků na světě. ‚Rolly‘ říká, že chce bojovat s nejlepšími. Přijďte v prosinci 5, to bude sakra boje.

"Rolly" je tvrdý. Bude bojovat s kýmkoli a tato dychtivost z toho dělá zajímavý zápas. "Rolly" chce jen dokázat, že je nejlepší. Je to také pekelný průkopník. Pokaždé jsme mu předložili soupeře, přijal každého z nich.

„‚Tank‘ dělá rekordní čísla. Vždycky jsem mu říkal, že to přijde v pravý čas. Řekl jsem mu, že stejným způsobem vyprodávám arény, jednoho dne uděláš to samé. Měl trpělivost a to je to, co děláme.

„Tito kluci jsou budoucností boxu. Nevidím, že tento boj jde na dálku. Dva neporažení knockout umělci. Dva šampioni. Prosinec 5, Se všemi se tam uvidím."

CALVIN FORD, Davisův spolutrenér

"Doufám, že budeš pokračovat v tom povídání "Rolly." Uvidíme, kdo bude ještě mluvit na konci noci v prosinci 5.

„Romero má trapný styl, ale krása mít dva trenéry s ‚Tank,“ je, že není nic, na co bychom nebyli připraveni.

„To, že byl Barry Hunter součástí tábora, pomohlo ‚Tanku‘ v mnoha ohledech uklidnit. Myslím, že každý uvidí krásu naší spolupráce v tomto boji.

„Netrénuji ‚Tank‘ na knockouty. Trénuji ho, aby šel na dálku. Může vás dostat z kola 1 na 12. Takže raději zůstaňte ostrá."

BARRY HUNTER, Davisův spolutrenér

„Všichni ví, co jdeme dělat. Mám šílený respekt k druhé straně. Přineste si A-hru, protože si určitě přivezeme ten svůj.

„Pro takové věci jsme se narodili právě tady. Jak všichni říkali, není možné, aby tento boj přešel na dálku.

"Všichni tvrdě pracují, aby byli co nejlepší, protože nechceme žádné výmluvy, až to skončí. Věřím v Gervontu. Vím, co udělá."

BULLET CROMWELL, Romerův trenér

„Vím, co všichni říkají o tom, kdo do toho jde šampion, ale šampion se nenarodil jako šampion, musel také vstát. Stejně jako mladý lev, ‚Rolly‘ je připravena vstát.

"Jsem L.A. chlap. Když se sem vrátíme, bojujeme za dědictví. Není to jen pásek a peníze.

„Řekl jsem ‚Rollymu‘, že Gervonta Davisová stojí v cestě změně vaší rodiny a vašeho odkazu. Máme práci.

„Nestojím o čistý box nebo jakýkoli styl. Vzal jsem karate, pouliční boje a box, a dal jsem to všechno dohromady. V kombinaci s děrovačkou se silou ‚Rolly‘, a s jeho drtí a pískem, je to perfektní zápas.

„Velmi si vážím ‚Tanka‘ a jeho týmu. Je to velký bojovník, ale Rolly je další na řadě. Pátého prosince se stane novým šampionem WBA."

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions

„Jsme nadšeni, že můžeme v neděli přivést tuto obrovskou událost do Los Angeles ve STAPLES Center, Prosinec 5. Je to úžasný zápas a fanoušci by měli být nadšení. Už je tu hodně hluku a lístky rychle ubývají.

"Tito bojovníci se navzájem skutečně opovrhují.". V boxu to vidíte jen zřídka. V 2019, já a Floyd jsme byli v Errol Spence Jr. proti. Mikey Garcia a my jsme si povídali a Davis a Romero byli najednou připraveni jít na ringside. Floyd jim řekl, že to zvládnou v ringu, a teď jsme tady.

„Tank je bezpochyby nejvzrušující bojovník na světě. Je také jednou z největších atrakcí a jedním z nejlepších bojovníků na světě. ‚Rolly‘ se nechal slyšet, že ‚trolluje‘ ‚Tank‘ a jsem si jistý, že v prosinci 5, ‚Tank‘ udělá, co může, aby ‚Rolly‘ zavřel hubu.

"Rolly" je velmi výbušný bojovník a kdykoli vstoupí do ringu, snaží se odtud dostat svého soupeře. Nikdy mu nechybí sebevědomí a je si jistý, že v prosinci 5 dělá práci.

"Se dvěma ohromnými úderníky, jako je tento.", není možné, aby tento boj neskončil knockoutem. Nalaďte v prosinci 5 a čekat, že někoho vyklepou."

STEPHEN Espinoza, Prezident SHOWTIME Sports

„Pro SHOWTIME Sports, 2021 byl jedním z nejsilnějších ročníků v historii. Dodali jsme celkem 42 dění, z nichž polovina skončila knockoutem. V prosinci 5, Očekávám, že to nedosáhne, ať už, s těmito dvěma tvrdými útočníky.

"Týden za týdnem.", rok co rok, SHOWTIME je i nadále standardem tohoto sportu. Nikdo v bojových sportech na tom není lépe, nebo smysluplnější boje než my.

„Když vcházíme do Gervonty 11th bojovat s SHOWTIME, nikdy nebyl dole, a dál září. Když mluví ostatní bojovníci, „Tank“ bojuje a vyprodává arény.

„‚Rolly‘ také nikdy nebyl sestřelen jako profík. Je tvrdým střelcem a je jedním z nejlepších talentů v boxu, a on bude první, kdo ti to řekne."

RISING STAR DAVID BENAVIDEZ REMAINS UNDEFEATED WITH DOMINATING STOPPAGE WIN OVER ALEXIS ANGULO SATURDAY ON SHOWTIME®

Uncasville, Conn. - Srpen 16, 2020 – David Benavidez kept his unbeaten record intact after 23 fights with a dominating performance against Alexis Angulo in the main event of an exciting night of boxing live on SHOWTIME Saturday night from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., Prezentováno Premier Boxing Champions.
(For highlights, cvaknutí ZDE)

V Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® tripleheader card, the 23-year-old Benavídez (23-0, 20 KO) – who lost his WBC world title belt on the scale on Friday – scored a stoppage victory against the former world title challenger Angulo (26-2, 22 KO), whose corner threw in the towel after the 10th kolo.

“I rate myself a solid eight,” Benavidez said. “I could have done some stuff better, but overall it was a great performance. I didn’t want to go too fast and leave myself exposed for some big shots. He’s a heavy puncher. Ale jak jsem řekl, I like to do the stuff that nobody has ever done. Nobody has ever stopped him and I’m pretty sure nobody is ever going to make him look like that again. I demolished him from round one to round 10.”

A seven-year pro at the age of 23, Benavidez landed 56 percent of his power punches in the fight and averaged 29 na 70 punches thrown per round. Benavidez closed the show by landing a career high 54 punches in round 10.

Colombia’s Angulo, nyní bojuje z Miami, Fla., entered his second world title opportunity riding a three-fight winning streak, but was unable to come counter anything Benavidez threw at him.

Benavidez said he was disappointed and embarrassed by not making the 168-pound weight limit on Friday. “Everything everyone said about me is true,” Benavidez said. “I should be a professional and come in on weight, but this time I couldn’t do it. It’s my first time not making weight in eight years of being a professional.”

“I really have to talk to my promoter to see what’s next,” Benavidez added. “I’ll fight anybody to get back to the spot I was. You could see by this performance tonight, I could put on a great performance against anybody and people will pay to see that. I’m probably going to go right back into training camp to make sure I don’t miss weight.”

V co-hlavní události, rising lightweight Rolando “Rolly” Romero (12-0, 10 KO) scored a controversial unanimous decision over previously fellow unbeaten Jackson Maríñez (19-1, 7 KO) to capture the interim WBA Lightweight Title. Skóre se 115-113, 116-112 a 118-110, all in favor of Romero.
(For highlights, cvaknutí ZDE).

The story of the fight was Maríñez’s reliable jabs as the Dominican fighter won the battle in that department (14 percent compared to Romero’s 10 procento). It was Romero, nicméně, who held the advantage on power punches connecting on 24 procento (31 na 228) ve srovnání s 18 percent for Maríñez (72 na 401).

“I don’t think I had a bad performance,“ řekl Romero, who confidently predicted a brutal knockout would end the bout in his pre-fight comments. "Myslel jsem, že jsem vyhrál boj. Regardless of everything, I’m the world champ now. Jsem šťastný. "

Romero suffered a slight cut above his left eye in the ninth round on a head butt, but it didn’t seem to affect his performance in the championship rounds. “He came out a little bit tougher and slicker than what I thought,” Romero said. “But all he did was move around the entire fight. He didn’t even try to engage. It’s hard to knock out someone who doesn’t try to engage. I hurt him multiple times with body shots and a few hooks. There was one moment I hurt him with a right hand and he pulled my head down. It was just hard to finish him off.

"Jo, [I would give him a rematch]. He didn’t do anything special.”

The 29-year-old Maríñez, who holds the WBA’s No. 6 pořadí, is trained by Robert Garcia, who was not present in the Maríñez’s corner electing not to travel cross country from his Southern California home.

“That was pure robbery,” Maríñez said. “I won the fight. I out-jabbed, out-boxed him. You could tell he didn’t think he won the fight right afterwards. It’s a robbery.”

V úvodním zápasu na televizní vysílání, heavyweight contender Otto Wallin recorded a TKO at 2:32 of the fifth round against Travis Kauffman, who re-tore his left labrum at the start of the fifth round and was unable to lift his arm. Referee Michael Ortega signaled the end of the fight and afterwards Kauffman announced he was retiring from boxing, just days ahead of his 35th narozeniny.
(For highlights, cvaknutí ZDE)

29-letý Wallin (21-1, 14 KO) who had a four-inch height advantage over Kauffman, said he felt for the injured Kauffman, but was dominating the fight. “I was breaking him down. I had a lot left,” Wallin said. “Too bad he hurt his shoulder in the end, but I was breaking him and hitting him with good clean shots.”

Wallin looked sharp in his return to the ring for the first time since he nearly defeated Tyson Fury in September 2019. Přistál 12 jabs per round and 54 percent of his power shots throughout the fight. Currently living in New York City and originally Representing his native Sundsvall, Švédsko, Wallin had former champion Joey Gamache in his corner for the bout.

Both fighters have recovered from injury in the recent past, as well as the COVID-19 virus. “I didn’t feel anything from COVID,” Wallin said. “I had great training. I was sick in March, but COVID didn’t hit me very hard. I was lucky. I’m sorry for everyone who lost their lives due to COVID.

“I want to go back to New York next and relax a little bit. I’ve been training for a long time now, almost a year. So I want to relax a little bit and hopefully I can fight again by the end of the year.”

The 34-year-old Kauffman (32-4, 23 KO) from Reading, Pa., was fighting for the first time in five years and seven fights without his trainer Naazim Richardson, who died unexpectedly last month. Po boji, Kauffman said he was retiring from boxing.

“I tore my left labrum getting ready for the [Luis] Ortiz fight,” Kauffman said. “Like a dummy, I waited five months to have surgery on it after the Ortiz fight [December of 2018]. I started feeling better and was going to do a tune-up fight in March, but then COVID happened. This opportunity came up and I didn’t want to pass it up and I felt good. In the first round I hurt it. I felt it, but then it went away and I thought maybe it’s just my mind and it went away. Then in the fifth round I heard it and that was it. It was torn again.

“I’m done. I’m retiring. I have kids. I’ve been doing this a long time,” Kauffman said.

NEW YORK– Srpen 5, 2020 – Undefeated WBC Super Middleweight World ChampionDavid “El Bandera Roja” Benavídezbude obhajovat svůj titul proti bývalé světové titulu challengerAlexis Anguloin a Premier Boxing Champions event Saturday, August 15 live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

Box Showtime Championship® televizní vysílání začíná na 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and also features rising lightweightRolando "Rolly" Romeropřevzetí kolega neporaženýJackson Maríñtotoin a 12-round battle for the interim WBA Lightweight Title, while heavyweight contendersOtto WallinaTravis Kauffmansquare off in a 10-round showdown.

“David Benavídez will look to keep his perfect record intact, continue to display his superstar potential and further cement his positioning in the stacked 168-pound division,“Řekl Tom Brown, Prezident TGB Promotions. “As an undefeated world champ, Benavídez can expect a strong challenge from Alexis Angulo, which should create an action-packed main event on SHOWTIME. Combined with a battle of hungry unbeaten lightweights in ‘Rolly’ Romero and Jackson Maríñez, plus a heavyweight slugfest between Otto Wallin and Travis Kauffman, this shapes up to be another can’t miss night of high-stakes action.”

“It’s going to be great to be in the corner of David ‘El Bandera Roja’ Benavídez on fight night,” said Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing, who is recovering from a recent surgery. “I feel so good and so strong and I truly can’t wait to be there to support the youngest super middleweight champion in history.”

The event is promoted by TGB Promotions and Sampson Boxing. The Romero vs. Maríñez bout is co-promoted by Mayweather Promotions.

The 23-year-old Benavídez (22-0, 19 KO) defends his belt after defeating two-time super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell in September, stopping him in nine rounds. Benavidez is trained by his father José Sr., alongside his brother and former title challenger, José Jr. V 2017, he became the youngest super middleweight champion in boxing history by defeating Ronald Gavril on SHOWTIME at just 20 let. Representing his native Phoenix, Ariz. Benavídez went from a 15-year-old prodigy sparring with Gennady Golovkin and Peter Quillin, to world title contender with a 10-fight knockout streak from 2015 přes 2017, including a highlight-reel knockout of Rogelio Medina with a seven-punch combination that earned him his first championship fight.

“It’s been almost a year since the last time I fought, so I’m very eager to get back in the ring and give the fans a great fight,” said Benavídez. “Training camp has been amazing. Naštěstí, my dad opened his own gym just before the pandemic, so we’ve had private training and been able to safely bring in sparring partners to help me work. I’m facing a very tricky and rugged fighter, so I’m taking him very seriously. I feel like I can take advantage of some openings in his defense and look for the knockout like I do every fight.”

Born in El Bordo, Colombia and now fighting out of Miami, Fla., Angulo (26-1, 22 KO) enters his second world title opportunity on a three-fight winning streak, including two triumphs over previously unbeaten fighters. Angulo stopped Reinaldo Gonzalez in 2018 in his first fight since losing a decision to then-super middleweight champion Gilberto Ramirez earlier that year. He scored a decision victory this January over Anthony Sims Jr. to put himself in position to again challenge the best in the division.

“I’m ready for anything that happens in the ring on August 15,” said Angulo. “This is going to be a great fight for the fans because of the style I bring to the ring. Benavidez is a strong champion, but my style will be too much for him and I will have my hand raised on fight night.”

Boj z Las Vegas, Nev., Romero(11-0, 10 KO) added three knockout victories to his tally in 2019 before his 2020 debut saw him stop previously unbeaten Arturs Ahmetovs in February. A fast-rising prospect in the Mayweather Promotions stable, the 24-year-old is ranked No. 10 by the WBA and will look to extend his six-fight knockout streak on August 15.

It feels great to return to the ring and to be fighting for such a great opportunity,“ řekl Romero. “This has been the best camp of my career, and I’ll just say this, if a pandemic is holding you back from training, then you don’t want it bad enough. I already believe I should be here with the top guys, but the world will actually get to see that I am who I say I am. I’m confident in my abilities as a fighter and I have the best in the business, Floyd Mayweather, behind me. I think this fight will end fairly quickly, but you will get to see the growth in me as a fighter. This is another fight that will further prove I’m here to stay. Sign up for KO’s!”

“This is a big step up for Rolando, and he’s been waiting for the opportunity to showcase his talent,“ řekl Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. “He has a big test ahead to prove himself. This is going to be another one that you don’t want to miss, so tune-in to SHOWTIME on Saturday, August 15.”

The 29-year-old Maríñez (19-0, 7 KO) holds the WBA’s No. 6 pořadí, which he earned with victories over Rolando Giono and Kenin Betancourt while picking up eight wins between 2018 a 2019. Representing his native Santo Domingo, Dominikánská republika, Maríñez was successful in his U.S. debut in December of last year, stopping Yardley Armenta Cruz in two rounds.

“I’ve had a great training camp for this fight,” said Maríñez. “I’ve been sparring with Vergil Ortiz and Jose Ramirez, plus other fighters in Robert Garcia’s gym, and it’s gotten me ready to step into the ring. I know that Romero is a tough and durable fighter, so it won’t be easy, but I’m going to do anything I can to bring the title back home.”

Wallin (20-1, 13 KO) will return to the ring for the first time since he nearly defeated Tyson Fury in September 2019, když otevřel hrůzných řez nad pravým okem Fury s právním punč, že téměř zastavil boj. While the 29-year-old lost a decision, prokázal svou odvahu jako potenciální budoucí přeborníkem v těžké váze. Reprezentovat svou rodnou Sundsvall, Švédsko, Wallin vlaky v New Yorku s bývalým mistrem Joey Gamache.

“I’m very happy to finally be back in the ring,” said Wallin. “It’s been a long and crazy year in many ways and it feels great to be getting ready to step back into the ring. I’ve been training steady since the Fury fight and I feel like I’ve developed my game in a lot of ways. Kauffman is a tough veteran that can both come forward or box if he wants to. He’s a fan friendly fighter and I have to be ready at all times. We have a great game plan as always and I’m in excellent shape. I know I have all the tools to beat Kauffman.”

A veteran of the heavyweight landscape, Kauffman (32-3, 23 KO) owns a ledger that includes challenges of top heavyweights including Luis Ortiz, Chris Arreola and Amir Mansour, mimo jiné. The Reading, Pennsylvania native lost his most recent bout to Ortiz, following a 2018 triumph over Scott Alexander.

“This is my first training camp in seven years without Brother Naazim Richardson, but I know that he wouldn’t want me to leave camp and he’d want me to stay focused,” said Kauffman. “Having him pass away while I was in camp was one of the hardest things I’ve had to deal with, but there’s adversity in every camp I’ve had. I wouldn’t feel right if there wasn’t adversity to overcome. Můj otec, Marshall, stepped back in as my head trainer. We know we’re facing a young, hungry fighter, but I have more experience than him and I don’t think he can last 10 rounds with me when I’m at 100% like I’ll be on August 15.”

Additional non-televised action will include super middleweight contenderAlantez Fox(26-2-1, 12 KO) battling Ghana’sHabib Ahmed(27-1-1, 18 KO) v osmikolové atrakci.

SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT PROSPECT XAVIER MARTINEZ STAYS UNBEATEN WITH THRILLING 21-SECOND KNOCKOUT IN MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: NOVÝ PÁTEK GENERACE NA SHOWTIME®

LAS VEGAS – November 1, 2019 - Undefeated super featherweight prospect Xavier Martinez thrilled a sold-out crowd and boxing royalty at Samův Town Živé with one of the quickest knockouts in ShoBox: Nová generace history in the main event Friday night in Las Vegas.



It took just 21 seconds for Sacramento’s Martinez (15-0, 11 KO) to steal the show, connecting on a solid jab with his left hand before a glancing right hand finished the job and sent Filipino Jessie Cris Rosales (22-4-1, 10 KO) down and out in a knockout of the year candidate. Rosales’ head hit hard on the canvas and his body was left sprawled on the floor. (Martinez KO video: https://twitter.com/
ShowtimeBoxing/status/1190493848016957441
)



Martinez has now scored knockouts in seven consecutive fights, including a third-round stoppage of John Vicente Moralde in his ShoBox debut v dubnu.



I wanted to steal the show,“ řekl Martinez. "[Rolando Romero] did his thing and I knew I had to capitalize on that. I did it in half the time (45 sekundy). Everyone did great tonight. Hitchins and Kevin [Newman] both did their thing and I had to follow.



“I’m going to get back in the gym and continue grinding. I want to be the best. I have the best team in boxing right now. As long as they keep lining them up, I’m going to keep knocking them down.”



22-year-old Brooklyn, New York. native and 2016 Olympian Richardson Hitchins (10-0, 5 KO) made his television and ShoBox debut in the co-featured bout, winning a unanimous decision over Kevin Johnson (7-2, 4 KO). Soudci skóroval záchvat 96-94 a 97-93 dvakrát.



Hitchins, who represented his parents’ home country of Haiti in the 2016 Rio Games, used his skill, speed and defense to edge the 27-year-old Johnson. Hitchins was marginally better in every category round after round, allowing him to build small but decisive leads en route to the unanimous decision. Johnson was slightly more active (52.6 na 49.8 údery za kolo) but Hitchins was more accurate and the more robust body puncher. Hitchins landed on 30 procent svých energetických razníků, while Johnson landed just 19 procent jeho, and Hitchins connected on 46 body shots compared to 30 for Johnson.



“Johnson was a solid fighter,” said Hitchins. “I haven’t been in the ring since April, but I think I did great. It was the fight that I needed. I wanted the win and I got the unanimous decision. I don’t like to rate my performance without going back and re-watching the fight. I could have closed the gaps a little better. I should have capitalized on certain moments a little better.



I’m going to run the tape back and work with my coach so we can tighten up and come out the best I can possibly be. I’m excited to see what’s next and what my team has planned for me. They’ve guided me in a great direction and I just got to do what I got to do and that’s getting these guys out one at a time until I get that title shot.”



Johnson, who performed admirably, was gracious in defeat despite disagreeing with the judges’ scorecards.



“Měl dobrý úder,” Johnson said. “It was easy to download him. I put the pressure on him and kept listening to my corner, and moved to the right and kept landing. Je to tvrdý bojovník. Já mu dám, že, he definitely came to fight. We both had moments throughout the fight. He did a good job of holding as the ref called, he knew how to hold when he was getting hurt. I think I was the better fighter. On mi nikdy neublížil. I give him props as a fighter.



“I really want the rematch, but I doubt that will happen. I know I won. I was the better fighter at the end of the day.



In a much-anticipated rematch between two fighters with history and bad blood, Kevin Newman II (11-1-1, 6 KO) avenged the only loss of his career, dominating Marcos Hernandez (14-3-1, 3 KO) with a near shutout unanimous decision. Soudci bodovali souboj 80-72 a 79-73 dvakrát.



Completing the full eight-round distance for the first time in his career, Newman, who is trained by former world champion Bones Adams, dominated the second half of the fight. Přistál 82 celkem údery do 46 against in rounds five through eight and was able to establish a lethal body attack that wore down Sacramento’s Hernandez, připojení na 79 záběry těla ve srovnání s pouhými 10 for Hernandez. Newman also led 152-97 v celkových úderech přistál a 114-57 v silových střelách, while nearly matching Hernandez in punches thrown (399 na 435).



“The revenge felt so great,” said Las Vegas’ Newman, who dropped a unanimous decision to Hernandez on the undercard of Mayweather vs. McGregor in August 2017. “Overall, I dominated. I went to the body every chance I saw an opportunity. A lot of people have never seen me box like that so it’s great to show that side of me. I was a lot more offensive and I kept the attacks to the body.



“I’d rate my performance a B-, I think I could have been busier. I’m going to continue to developing and staying busy in the ring. I don’t think he expected me to come in like I did. We gave the fans a great performance that was TV worthy and I look forward to doing it again.”



V televizní vysílání otvíráku, undefeated knockout artist Rolando Romero (10-0, 9 KO) extended his KO streak to five in a row and improved his knockout rate to 90 percent by dismantling previously once-beaten challenger Juan Carlos Cordones (14-2, 9 KO) with a first-round knockout. (Romero KO: https://twitter.com/
ShowtimeBoxing/status/1190461550190120960
)



The 24-year-old Las Vegan floored Dominican Republic’s Cordones with a combination and finished the job shortly after with a flush right to the jaw. Cordones was unable to get up off the mat, and the fight was stopped just 2:14 after it started. Looking for the knockout from the opening bell, the aggressive Romero threw twice as many punches (35-17), led nine to three in overall punches landed and connected on eight of his 18 power údery.



“There’s not much to say. I promised a knockout and I saw the opportunity so I went for it,” said the exuberant Romero, who has previously stated he is the hardest puncher in the world under 147 liber. “I made him pay for coming in overweight yesterday. Dívat se dopředu, I just plan on dominating whoever they put in front of me.



“I’m growing as a fighter and all I want to do is continue to put on a great performance for my fans and get to that next step in my career. I want anyone whoever wants next!"



The stars of the boxing world were out in Las Vegas, as promoter and future Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather and former and current world champions Gervonta Davis, Badou Jack, Adrien Broner, Claressa Shields, Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson were all in attendance at Sam’s Town Live.



Davis, Jack and Chris Eubank Jr. all spoke with SHOWTIME expert analyst Steve Farhood to preview their upcoming fights on the network.



“I decided to move up in weight because I have a chance to win a world title in two different weight classes,"Řekl Davis, who faces former unified champion Yuriorkis Gamboa for the WBA lightweight title December 28 v Atlantě. “We know Gamboa is a tough opponent and we won’t sleep on him. I wanted to share the ring with somebody great. Of course Gamboa is my toughest opponent to date. I’m going to train hard for him, he’ll train hard for me and we’ll give the fans what they want to see.



“I’m just excited to be back,” said two-division champion Jack, who will face WBA light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal in the co-featured bout on December 28. “That last loss to Marcus Browne was an accident. I’m more motivated than last time. I’m hungry to get in there and get my titles back.”



Middleweight star Chris Eubank Jr. will make his United States debut on December 7 in Brooklyn when he takes on Matt Korobov.



“This has been a long time coming,"Řekl. “I’m coming over here to the States to take over. This is the perfect opportunity. I’m in the prime of my life and I can’t wait to get out there and show you guys what I’m made of.” (Full interview video: https://twitter.com/SHOsports/status/1190467999439998976)



Promoter Floyd Mayweather also spoke to Farhood during the live telecast in which four of his top prospects impressed.



“When I see potential in a fighter, I want to take them to the next level,” the all-time great said. “I’m always on the lookout to find the next Floyd Mayweather. I like to give fighter pointers about the small things. Nothing comes overnight. It’s all about working hard and surrounding yourself with a positive team.”



In undercard action that was streamed live on Mayweather Promotions’ Facebook page, Dylan Price, Cris Reyes, and newly-signed Mayweather Promotions prospect Malik Warren all scored TKO stoppages while Ava Knight earned a unanimous decision over Luna del Mar Torroba.



Friday’s fights were promoted by Mayweather Promotions. Celý televizní přenos se přehraje v pondělí, Listopad 4 na 10 p.m. ET / PT v EXTRÉMU SHOWTIME a bude k dispozici KDYKOLI v SHOWTIME® a SHOWTIME na vyžádání®.

After back-to-back KO performances this year, Newman returns with a vengeance to face the man who owns the only blemish on his record in a rematch with Hernandez. V 2017, with eight professional bouts on his record, Newman appeared on the Mayweather vs. McGregor undercard where he took on Hernandez, a tough rising prospect. After six rounds of what Newman calls, “the worst performance of my professional career,” judges ruled the bout a unanimous decision in favor of Hernandez. Newman took the loss in stride and bounced back with three consecutive wins and looks ahead to the rematch, while Hernandez is focused on repeating history.

Here is what the fighters had to say ahead of the November 1 odvetu:

Na soustředění:

Newman: “Výcvikový tábor byl skvěle. We’ve been working hard day in and day out, making sure we leave no stone unturned and working on a solid game plan come fight night.

“My runs and workouts have been a little longer and harder. We’re just focusing on getting better every day and pushing as hard as we can to ensure we get the W in the rematch.

“People are going to see a slightly different version of me this time around. I won’t give away any specifics, but I’m going to shock a lot of people come fight night and they will get the best Kevin Newman.

Hernandez: “Camp has been great. Mám skvělý tým za mnou. I expect him to come harder for this fight so we’re preparing for anything this time around. But we will remain smart at all times. There are things I’m taking with me this time around that I’ve learned and practiced in the gym. I’ve improved since our last fight so he better be ready.”

On what the importance of a win and the rivalry between the fighters:

Newman: “A win in this fight does a lot for my career, but it’s not just the win itself, it’s how I win that will do the most for me. Fans can expect an explosive fight. It will put me in a great place to further my career and get tougher fights, which will lead to the end goal of a title shot.

“There is definitely some animosity between us. A lot has been said, more so on his end than mine, but I just let him and his camp talk. I expect him to fight to win and I’m just going to continue to work hard like I have these past two years since the first fight. We don’t like each other, Mohu vám říci, že, so this fight will bring fireworks and I’m just going to let me hands do the talking and get the W.”

Hernandez: “A second win will just prove that I am the better fighter.

“I always come to win; I train to win. My family will be in attendance supporting me and I know his will too, so this will be a fight with both of us having a lot to prove.

“There’s been a lot of talk going into this rematch, but none of that affects me. I’m just working hard and I’m going to come even stronger than the first fight. None of the stuff outside the ring really matters to me. I out boxed him and outfought him in 2017, and I plan to do the same again this time around, mixed with a few other tactics.”

How does it feel to fight on national television?

Newman: “It feels great to return and fight on national television, especially getting to fight on SHOWTIME for the first time in my career. I’m very thankful to Leonard Ellerbe and Floyd Mayweather as well as SHOWTIME for giving me this opportunity. The last time I fought on national television I put on a great display of my talent and skills, so I look forward to doing the same this time around.”

“I’m very excited for this opportunity to redeem myself. I knew this day would come, Jen jsem nevěděla, kdy. I’ve won fights since the first fight and had dominant performances in the process, but nothing has filled that void. This is my opportunity to do that, so come November 1, when it’s all said and done, Budu vítězný.”

Hernandez: “It’s my first time onShoBox and I’m thankful for this experience. Fans can expect a great fight. He’s a really good fighter and I won’t take anything from him. Moving up again will be a challenge, but I think I can beat him again.”

“This is our second ShoBox show of the year and we’re happy to have made Sam’s Town our home for these events,” says Mayweather Promotions CEO, Leonard Ellerbe. “I can’t say enough that this is the perfect setting and platform to showcase our upcoming prospects. Xavier Martinez is one to watch for as he headlines his first ShoBox karta. We have a very exciting line-up of fighters, both on and off-television, making for a card that you don’t want to miss.”



Martinez (14-0, 10 KO), Sacramenta, Calif., has scored six straight knockouts, including a third-round stoppage of John Vicente Moralde in his ShoBox debut v dubnu (Watch KO Zde). The 21-year-old turned professional in 2017 in Mexico following an amateur career where he amassed an 85-10 record while competing in the 2012 a 2013 National Championships and earning a ranking as the No. 3 amateur in the country. Best known for his crafty and powerful fighting style, Martinez joined the Mayweather Promotions team in late 2016 s jednomyslným rozhodnutím vyhrát nad Wilfredo Garriga at Samův Town Živé.



“I am really excited to get back into the ring,” said the 21-year-old Martinez. “Sam’s Town has become my home away from home and I’ve had a lot of great performances there. I’m really just looking forward to putting on a great performance again on national television and reaching a larger audience. Soon enough everyone will know who Xavier Martinez is.



“Soustředění se skvěle. I’ve added a strength and conditioning coach and a nutritionist. Having someone help me prep my meals and educate me on what’s going into my body has really helped me train better and get my body in the right shape. My energy level for training is different and I feel stronger.



Rosales (22-3-1, 10 KO), 27, stal se profesionálem v 2008 and started his professional career unbeaten in his first 22 bouts while competing mostly in his native Philippines. Rosales stepped up his level of opposition in 2017, losing to former two-division world champion Jhonny Gonzalez in 2017 a 2016 Olympic Silver Medalist and undefeated prospect Shakur Stevenson in 2019. Ve svém posledním záchvatu, he lost a close split-decision to undefeated prospect Tyler McCeary. Experienced against top opposition, Rosales’ three losses have come against opponents with a combined record of 96-11-1.



“He’s undefeated, but I have far more experience with better guys so I have that advantage coming into this fight,” Rosales said. “I’m coming off two tough fights and this one is going to be another great fight to test myself as a fighter as well as a good show for the fans. I’m back in the gym working on a couple of things, and I’m coming into this fight stronger and sharper.”



Hitchins (9-0, 5 KO), z Brooklynu, New York, is a former two-time Golden Gloves champion who represented his parents’ home country of Haiti in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games, where he lost to team USA’s Gary Russell Jr. One of boxing’s top young prospects, Hitchins has sparred and trained with several world champions including Terence Crawford and stablemate Gervonta Davis. Just 21-years-old, Hitchins boasts incredible hand and foot speed and the boxing IQ of a veteran contender. Having fought eight out of his nine pro fights in his hometown, Hitchins will travel to Las Vegas looking for a statement win in his television debut.



I’m ready to pick back up where I left off,” said Hitchins. “I’ve remained in great shape since my last opponent fell through back in July, but it worked out because now I get an opportunity to show my talents on national television. My brother Tank [Gervonta Davis] showed me a lot of things this summer and great techniques to sharpen my skills. I’m working hard and getting work in multiple gyms across different weight classes to help me with my speed and power. I’m going to give it my all and deliver with a dominating win.”



Johnson, a Las Vegas resident, started his professional career with four consecutive TKO wins. His past four fights have all come against undefeated opposition including a split decision win over Larry Gomez, který byl 8-0 entering the fight, in his last outing in April. Johnson’s lone loss came against 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist Fazliddin Gaibnazarov.



This is going to be an entertaining fight for the fans,“ řekl Johnson. “I predict a fourth or fifth round knockout – that isn’t me being cocky, just me understanding what’s on the line. This is a huge fight for me and I’m going to rise to the occasion. I’m here to expose everyone I step in the ring with. I’ll fight anybody I feel is a good challenge. I’ve seen Hitchins spar Devin Haney and I’ve watched a few of his fights. He did really good, but I was able to identify some opportunities and I feel confident I can beat this kid.”



Las Vegas’ Newman started boxing when he was 9 years old and built up an amateur record of 25-5 before turning pro in 2014. Impressed by Newman’s skills and technique in the ring as an amateur, Floyd Mayweather signed the rising middleweight to his growing stable of fighters in the summer of 2014. Newman made his professional debut on the Mayweather vs. Maidana II undercard, where he fought to a draw with Azamat Umarzoda. He won his next seven contests before dropping a decision to his November 1 protivník, Mark Anthony Hernandez, on the undercard of Mayweather vs. McGregor in August 2017. He has since rebounded with three consecutive KO wins at Sam’s Town.



“I’m thankful to my team for another fight,” said Newman. “This is my third fight this year, and I’m looking forward to putting on a show and really ending this year with a bang. Training camp has consisted of great sparring with A-level guys, including Anthony Dirrell for his fight with David Benavidez. I was able to get a lot of quality rounds in already, and this is just the beginning of my training camp. I’m extremely sharp now so we’re just maintaining that and getting my body into fight shape.”



Hernandez, 26, Fresno, Calif., is no stranger to fighting under the spotlight. After dropping a split decision to Kyrone Davis in 2017, Hernandez bounced back with the biggest win of his career over Newman on the undercard of the blockbuster Mayweather vs. Akce McGregor. Hernandez was among 16 professional fighters selected to compete at 160 pounds on the 2018 reboot of Contender série. He earned a split decision over Danny Valdivia and a unanimous verdict over Quantavious Cash to finish behind champion Brandon Adams and runner-up Shane Mosley Jr. V únoru tohoto roku, he suffered a setback in a rematch to Jeison Rosario, who he fought to a draw with in 2018, but rebounded with a unanimous decision win over Francisco Castro in his last bout.



I expect Kevin to come better than he did the first time we fought,“ řekl Hernandez. “The first fight was a clear unanimous decision for me. I didn’t think there was any controversy. He has his reasons as to why he didn’t perform, but that doesn’t matter to me. I went up in weight to take that fight from 154 na 165 pounds so I was also coming in with a slight disadvantage, and now I’m moving up again to fight him again. I out-boxed him and out-fought him the first time and fans can expect a great fight again. He’s a really good fighter, I won’t take anything from him. Moving up again will be a challenge, but I think I can beat him again.



Rising lightweight prospect Romero, born and raised in North Las Vegas, started his boxing career at age 18 after spending much of his youth competing in Judo. Despite a limited amateur career consisting of just 45 boje, Romero gained the attention of Floyd Mayweather and was signed to his promotional company in November of 2016. He made his professional debut the next month and scored a TKO just over a minute into the fight.

It’s been a great year for me professionally,“ řekl Romero. “I’ve been able to gain an even larger fan base since my last performance earlier this year and I’m excited to do what I do best and that’s knocking out the competition and continuing to grow as a fighter. A lot of people have doubted me for my lack of amateur experience, but my power and boxing IQ are undeniable. I’m taking the experience from my last fight and working to correct a few things. My goal is to become the most versatile fighter backed by power.”
