LOS ANGELES (Október 21, 2021) – Five-time world champion Gervonta „Tank“ Davis a hard-biť, unbeaten lightweight contender Rolando „Rolly“ Romero went face-to-face Thursday at a press conference to preview their showdown for Davis’ WBA Lightweight Championship headlining live on SHOWTIME PPV Sunday, December 5 at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Davis’ third-straight pay-per-view headlining attraction will see him battle his outspoken lightweight foe Romero, as the 26-year-old power-punchers put their unbeaten records on the line. The event will mark Davis’ return to Southern California after he knocked out Hugo Ruiz in the first round in front of a sold-out crowd in February 2019.

Vstupenky na koncerte, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, GTD Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from City View Terrace at STAPLES Center:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“I’m thankful to be here to give the fans another great fight. To je to, čo robíme. ‘Rolly’ is just here to talk. He’s trying to talk his way into winning, but he’s scared. Ja idem do boja.

“They only talk about his power, ale toto je box. His skills are not up to par with mine. He can’t even talk about power, because everyone knows I’m bringing it. You can shoot bullets, but how are you going to defend yourself when the bullets are shot back?

“He’s been talking for a long time. He’s trying to sell a fight, but I’m going to show him that he’s a chump on December 5. I’m not here to talk, I’m here to fight. I don’t take this personally. Mne, this isn’t beef, this is business.

“I was on a mission when I fought Jose Pedraza for the title. I didn’t do the trash talking. I went in there and proved that I’m a top guy. This guy is just here to talk. I’m going to do the talking in the ring on December 5.

“His trainer isn’t working on anything but power. They aren’t working on any skills. He hasn’t fought anybody like me and he’s going to see the difference.

“I’ve never once turned down any fight. I’m not scared of anybody. I’m going to fight everybody. I’ll fight a heavyweight. This is nothing to me. I’ve survived a lot of stuff.

“He’s supposed to come here and sell the fight. I’m supposed to win. I’d rather punish him for 12 rounds than knock him out quick. Part of me wants to humble him, but the most important thing to do is just go out there and get the job done.

“This fight is for the fans. The fans are winning December 5. Make sure you come out and support. I’m thankful to be in this position. It’s all about my team and those people who have put me in a great position.”

ROLANDO ROMERO

“Everyone’s going to see December 5, I’m going to knock Gervonta the f*** out. I hope you hear that.

“I’ve been calling ‘Tank’ out since 2017. We were supposed to spar in 2018 and he didn’t show up to the gym. He did that twice because he knew he was getting beat. December 5, you’re getting knocked out.

“This is just who I am. This is how I was born. I came into this sport at 17-years-old and I’ve made the most out of what I’ve done. Everybody come watch me knock him out on December 5.

“He’s got such a big head, it’s going to be hard to miss it. He gets touched up by every opponent he faces. Leo Santa Cruz was beating him up and Barrios was getting to him too.

“He wants to run out of the ring whenever he gets hit. It happens in sparring and in the amateurs. I was the one who had to force this fight, because I’ve seen for years that he’s a chump. He’s made a career out of beating up 126-pounders.

“He doesn’t know half the stuff that I’ve seen and been through. I’m here to knock him out in the ring. He’s arrogant and tries to act like he’s tough, but I’m knocking him out.

“Manny Pacquiao has an awkward style too, and look at everything he’s accomplished. Just because I fight differently, does that mean I don’t have skills? I have my own skills and they’ve gotten me this far.

“I’m not going into the ring angry, I’m just focused.”

FLOYD Mayweather, Prezident Mayweather Promotions

“These are two great fighters. And when I say great, I mean that every time they go out there, they produce. ‘Tank’ is a young kid from Baltimore who had a dream. He’s been through a lot. He fought his way to the top. You have to commend him for that. Bez ohľadu na to, čo kto hovorí,, he earned his stripes.

“I believe ‘Tank’ is one of the best fighters in the world. ‘Rolly’ says he wants to fight the best. Come December 5, it’s going to be a hell of a fight.

“’Rolly’ is tough. He’ll fight anybody and that eagerness makes this an intriguing matchup. ‘Rolly’ just wants to prove he’s the best. He’s also a hell of a puncher. Every time we presented an opponent to him, he’s accepted every one of them.

“’Tank’ is doing record-breaking numbers. I always told him it would come in due time. I told him that the same way I sell out arenas, you’re going to do the same thing one day. He had patience and that’s what we’re doing.

“These guys are the future of boxing. I don’t see this fight going the distance. Two undefeated knockout artists. Two champions. December 5, I’ll see everyone there.”

CALVIN FORD, Davis’ Co-Trainer

“I hope you keep up this talking ‘Rolly.’ We’ll see who’s still going to be talking at the end of the night on December 5.

“Romero has an awkward style, but the beauty of having two coaches with ‘Tank,’ is that there’s nothing we aren’t ready for.

“Having Barry Hunter be a part of the camp has helped calm ‘Tank’ down in many ways. I think everyone will see the beauty of us working together in this fight.

“I don’t train ‘Tank’ for knockouts. I train him to go the distance. He can get you from round 1 na 12. So you better stay sharp.”

BARRY HUNTER, Davis’ Co-Trainer

“Everyone knows what we’re coming to do. I have mad respect for the other side. Bring your A-game, because we’re definitely going to bring ours.

“We’re born for stuff like this right here. Like everyone said, there’s no way this fight goes the distance.

“Everybody is working hard to be at their best, because we don’t want any excuses after it’s over with. I have faith in Gervonta. I know what he’s going to do.”

BULLET CROMWELL, Romero’s Trainer

“I know what everybody is saying about who the champ is coming into this, but the champ wasn’t born a champ, he had to rise too. Just like a young lion, ‘Rolly’ is ready to rise.

“I’m an L.A. guy. When we come back here, we’re fighting for a legacy. It’s not just a belt and money.

“I told ‘Rolly’ that Gervonta Davis is standing in the way of changing your family and your legacy. We got a job to do.

“I don’t care about pure boxing or any style. I took karate, street-fighting and boxing, and I put it all together. Combined with a puncher with ‘Rolly’s’ power, and with his grind and grit, it’s a perfect match.

“I have a lot of respect for ‘Tank’ and his team. Je to veľký bojovník, but Rolly is next up. He’s going to be the new WBA champion on December 5.”

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions

“We’re excited to bring this huge event to Los Angeles at STAPLES Center on Sunday, December 5. This is a tremendous matchup and the fans should be excited. There’s a lot of buzz already and tickets are going fast.

“These fighters truly despise each other. It’s rare you see that in boxing. V 2019, me and Floyd were at the Errol Spence Jr. proti. Mikey Garcia and we were talking and all of a sudden Davis and Romero were ready to go at it at ringside. Floyd told them that they could do it in the ring, and now here we are.

“’Tank’ is without a doubt the most exciting fighter in the world. He’s also one of the biggest attractions and one of the best fighters in the world. ‘Rolly’ has let it be known that he’s been ‘trolling’ ‘Tank’ and I’m sure on December 5, ‘Tank’ will be doing whatever he can to shut ‘Rolly’ up.

“’Rolly’ is a very explosive fighter and anytime he steps into the ring, he’s looking to get his opponent out of there. He never lacks confidence and he’s confident that on December 5 he’s getting the job done.

“With two tremendous power punchers like this, there’s no way this fight doesn’t end in a knockout. Tune in December 5 and expect someone to get knocked out.”

STEPHEN Espinoza, President of SHOWTIME Sports

“For SHOWTIME Sports, 2021 has been one of the strongest years on record. We have delivered a total of 42 dianie, half of which ended in knockouts. On December 5, I expect this won’t go the distance, či už, with these two hard hitters.

“Week after week, year after year, SHOWTIME continues to be the standard of this sport. No one in combat sports is putting on better, or more meaningful fights than us.

“As we enter Gervonta’s 11th fight with SHOWTIME, he has never been down, and he has continued to shine. When other fighters are talking, ‘Tank’ is fighting and selling out arenas.

“’Rolly’ has also never been downed as a pro. He is a hard hitter and is one of the best talents in boxing, and he will be the first to tell you.”

V Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® karta tripleheader, 23-ročný Benavídez (23-0, 20 KO) - ktorý v piatok stratil opasok svetového titulu WBC na stupnici - dosiahol medzičasové víťazstvo proti bývalému vyzývateľovi na titul Angulo Angulo (26-2, 22 KO), ktorého roh hodil uterák po 10th kolo.

"Hodnotím sa ako solídnych osem.",”Povedal Benavidez. "Niektoré veci som mohol urobiť lepšie.", ale celkovo to bol skvelý výkon. Nechcel som ísť príliš rýchlo a nechať sa odhalené pre nejaké veľké zábery. Je to ťažký úderník. Ale ako som povedal,, Rád robím veci, ktoré nikdy nikto neurobil. Nikto ho nikdy nezastavil a som si istý, že už ho nikto nikdy nenechá vyzerať tak. Zbúral som ho z prvého na 10. kolo. “

Sedemročný profesionál vo veku 23, Benavidez pristál 56 percent jeho úderov mocou v boji a priemer 29 na 70 údery hodené za kolo. Benavidez ukončil šou dosiahnutím kariérneho maxima 54 údery do guľatiny 10.

Kolumbijské Angulo, teraz bojuje z Miami, Fla., vstúpil do svojej druhej príležitosti titulu majstra sveta v sérii víťazných troch bojov, ale nedokázal čeliť ničomu, čo naňho Benavidez hodil.

Benavidez uviedol, že bol sklamaný a trápny z toho, že v piatok neurobil váhovú hranicu 168 libier. "Všetko, čo o mne všetci hovorili, je pravda.",”Povedal Benavidez. "Mal by som byť profesionál a prísť na váhu.", ale tentoraz som to nedokázal. Je to prvýkrát, čo som nepripravil váhu za osem rokov profesionality. “

"Naozaj musím hovoriť so svojím promotérom, aby som zistil, čo bude ďalej.",”Dodal Benavidez. "Budem bojovať s kýmkoľvek, aby som sa vrátil na miesto, kde som bol.". Na tomto predstavení ste dnes večer mohli vidieť, Mohol by som podať skvelý výkon proti komukoľvek a ľudia za to zaplatia. Pravdepodobne sa vrátim späť do tréningového tábora, aby mi nechýbala váha. “

V čo-hlavné udalosti, stúpajúci ľahký Rolando “Rolly” Romero (12-0, 10 KO) dosiahol kontroverzné jednomyseľné rozhodnutie nad dovtedajším neporazeným Jacksonom Maríñezom (19-1, 7 KO) na zachytenie dočasného titulu WBA Lightweight. Skóre sa 115-113, 116-112 a 118-110, všetko v prospech Romera.

Príbehom zápasu boli Maríñezove spoľahlivé pokusy, keď dominikánsky bojovník vyhral bitku v tomto oddelení (14 percent v porovnaní s Romero 10 percento). Bol to Romero, však, ktorý mal výhodu v pripájaní napájacích razníkov 24 percento (31 na 228) v porovnaní s 18 percent pre Maríñeza (72 na 401).

"Nemyslím si, že som mal zlý výkon.",”Povedal Romero, ktorý sebavedome predpovedal brutálny knokaut, ukončí zápas vo svojich komentároch pred bojom. "Myslel som si, že som boj vyhral.". Bez ohľadu na všetko, Teraz som svetový šampión. Som šťastný. "

Romero utrpel v deviatom kole na zadku hlavy mierny rez nad ľavým okom, ale nezdalo sa, že by to malo vplyv na jeho výkon v majstrovských kolách. "Vyšiel o niečo tvrdší a úhľadnejší ako som si myslel.",”Povedal Romero. "Ale jediné, čo urobil, bol pohyb po celom boji.". Ani sa neskúšal zapojiť. Je ťažké vyradiť niekoho, kto sa nesnaží zaujať. Viackrát som mu ublížil strelami do tela a niekoľkými hákmi. V jednej chvíli som mu ublížil pravou rukou a on mi stiahol hlavu. Bolo ťažké ho dokončiť.

"Jo, [Dal by som mu odvetu]. Nerobil nič zvláštne. “

29-ročný Maríñez, ktorý je držiteľom titulu WBA č. 6 poradie, trénuje Robert Garcia, ktorý nebol prítomný v Maríñezovom rohu a rozhodol sa necestovať krížom-krážom zo svojho domova v južnej Kalifornii.

"To bola čistá lúpež.",”Povedal Maríñez. "Boj som vyhral.". Vybuchol som, vyboxoval ho. Dalo by sa povedať, že si nemyslel, že boj vyhral hneď potom. Je to lúpež. “

V úvodnom zápase na televízne vysielanie, uchádzač v ťažkej váhe Otto Wallin zaznamenal TKO pri 2:32 piateho kola proti Travisovi Kauffmanovi, ktorý si na začiatku piateho kola pretrhol ľavé labrum a nedokázal zdvihnúť ruku. Rozhodca Michael Ortega naznačil koniec zápasu a potom Kauffman oznámil, že odchádza z boxu, len niekoľko dní pred jeho 35th narodeniny.
(Pre zvýraznenie, cvaknutie TU)

29-ročný Wallin (21-1, 14 KO) ktorý mal pred Kauffmanom výškovú výhodu o štyri palce, uviedol, že sa cítil k zranenému Kauffmanovi, ale dominoval v boji. "Rozbíjal som ho.". Zostalo mi veľa,“Povedal Wallin. "Škoda, že si nakoniec poranil rameno.", ale zlomil som ho a zasiahol ho dobrými čistými strelami. “

Wallin vyzeral pri návrate do ringu ostro po prvýkrát, pretože v septembri takmer porazil Tysona Furyho 2019. Pristál 12 vpichy za kolo a 54 percent jeho streleckých zásahov počas celého zápasu. V súčasnosti žije v New Yorku a pôvodne zastupoval svoj rodný Sundsvall, Švédsko, Wallin mal vo svojom rohu pre zápas bývalého šampióna Joeyho Gamache.

Obaja bojovníci sa v nedávnej minulosti zotavili zo zranenia, rovnako ako vírus COVID-19. "Necítil som nič z COVIDU.",“Povedal Wallin. "Mal som skvelý tréning.". V marci mi bolo zle, ale COVID ma veľmi nezasiahol. bol som šťastný. Je mi ľúto všetkých, ktorí prišli o život kvôli COVIDU.

"Chcem sa vrátiť späť do New Yorku a trochu si oddýchnuť.". Teraz už trénujem dlho, takmer rok. Takže si chcem trochu oddýchnuť a dúfam, že do konca roka budem môcť opäť bojovať. “

Tridsaťštyriročný Kauffman (32-4, 23 KO) z Readingu, Pa., bojoval prvýkrát za päť rokov a sedem bojov bez svojho trénera Naazima Richardsona, ktorý nečakane zomrel minulý mesiac. Po boji, Kauffman uviedol, že odchádza z boxu.

"Roztrhol som si ľavé labrum a chystal sa na." [Luis] Ortiz boj,”Povedal Kauffman. "Ako atrapa.", Po Ortizovom boji som čakal päť mesiacov na operáciu [Decembra 2018]. Začal som sa cítiť lepšie a v marci som sa chystal naladiť zápas, ale potom sa stalo COVID. Táto príležitosť sa naskytla a ja som ju nechcel premeškať a cítil som sa dobre. V prvom kole som to zranil. cítil som to, ale potom to odišlo a myslel som si, že je to možno len moja myseľ a odišlo to. Potom v piatom kole som to začul a bolo to. Opäť sa to roztrhlo.

"Som hotový. Odchádzam do dôchodku. Mam deti. Robím to už dlho,”Povedal Kauffman.

"Som pripravený na všetko, čo sa 15. augusta stane v ringu," uviedol Angulo. „Pre fanúšikov to bude veľký boj kvôli štýlu, ktorý prinášam do ringu. Benavidez je silný šampión, ale môj štýl bude pre neho príliš veľký a budem mať v noci zdvihnutú ruku. “

Boj z Las Vegas, Nev., Romero(11-0, 10 KO) pridal k svojmu zhode v roku tri víťazstvá knockoutu 2019 pred jeho 2020 debutu ho vo februári zastavil predtým neporazený Arturs Ahmetovs. Rýchlo rastúca vyhliadka v stajni Mayweather Promotions, 24-ročný mladík je zaradený na č. 10 WBA a bude sa snažiť v auguste predĺžiť svoju vyraďovaciu sériu šiestich bojov 15.

“Je to skvelý pocit, vrátiť sa do ringu a bojovať o takúto skvelú príležitosť,”Povedal Romero. "Toto bol najlepší tábor v mojej kariére.", a poviem len toto, ak vás pandémia brzdí v tréningu, potom to nechcete mať dosť zlé. Už teraz verím, že by som tu mal byť s najlepšími ľuďmi, ale svet v skutočnosti uvidí, že som ten, za koho hovorím. Som si istý svojimi bojovnými schopnosťami a mám najlepšie v odbore, Floyd Mayweather, za mnou. Myslím si, že tento boj sa skončí pomerne rýchlo, ale uvidíte vo mne rast ako bojovníka. Toto je ďalší boj, ktorý ďalej preukáže, že tu zostanem. Zaregistrujte sa do KO!”

"Pre Rolanda je to veľký krok vpred.", a čakal na príležitosť predviesť svoj talent,”Povedal Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. "Má pred sebou veľkú skúšku, aby sa osvedčil.". Toto bude ďalší, ktorý si nenechajte ujsť, takže si v sobotu nalaďte SHOWTIME, 15. augusta. “

29-ročný Maríñez (19-0, 7 KO) je držiteľom titulu WBA č. 6 poradie, 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, Dominikánska 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, keď otvoril príšerný rez cez pravé oko Furyho legálnym úderom, ktorý takmer zastavil boj. Zatiaľ čo 29-ročný muž stratil rozhodnutie, preukázal svoje odhodlanie ako potenciálny budúci šampión v ťažkej váhe. Zastupujúci svoj rodný Sundsvall, Švédsko, Wallin trénuje v New Yorku s bývalým šampiónom Joey Gamache.

"Som veľmi šťastný, že som konečne späť v ringu.",”Povedal Wallin. "Bol to v mnohých ohľadoch dlhý a šialený rok a je to skvelý pocit, keď sa chystám ustúpiť do ringu.". Od boja s Fury som vytrvalo trénoval a mám pocit, že som svoju hru vyvinul mnohými spôsobmi. Kauffman je tvrdý veterán, ktorý môže prísť dopredu alebo boxovať, ak chce. Je bojovníkom priateľským k fanúšikom a ja musím byť neustále pripravený. Máme ako vždy skvelý herný plán a som vo vynikajúcej forme. Viem, že mám všetky nástroje na to, aby som Kauffmana porazil. “

Veterán krajiny ťažkej váhy, Kauffman (32-3, 23 KO) vlastní knihu, ktorá obsahuje výzvy najvyšších váh vrátane Luisa Ortiza, Chris Arreola a Amir Mansour, okrem iného. Čítanie, Rodák z Pensylvánie prehral svoj posledný zápas s Ortizom, nasledujúce a 2018 triumf nad Scottom Alexandrom.

"Toto je moje prvé sústredenie po siedmich rokoch bez brata Naazima Richardsona.", ale viem, že by nechcel, aby som opustil tábor a chcel by som, aby som sa sústredil,”Povedal Kauffman. "Nechať ho zomrieť, keď som bol v tábore, bola jedna z najťažších vecí, s ktorými som sa musel vyrovnať.", ale v každom tábore, ktorý som mal, sú nepriazne. Necítil by som sa dobre, keby nebolo ťažkosti prekonať. Môj otec, Marshall, ustúpil ako hlavný tréner. Vieme, že čelíme mladému človeku, hladný bojovník, ale mám viac skúseností ako on a nemyslím si, že vydrží 10 keď som na, za mnou 100% akoby som bol 15. augusta. “

Medzi ďalšie akcie mimo televízneho vysielania bude patriť super uchazeč strednej váhyAlantez Fox(26-2-1, 12 KO) bojuje s GhanouHabib Ahmed(27-1-1, 18 KO) v osemkolovej atrakcii.

LAS VEGAS – November 1, 2019 - Undefeated super featherweight prospect Xavier Martinez thrilled a sold-out crowd and boxing royalty at Sam’s Town Live with one of the quickest knockouts in ShoBox: Nová generácia 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 in April.



I wanted to steal the show,” said 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). Sudcovia 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 punches per round) but Hitchins was more accurate and the more robust body puncher. Hitchins landed on 30 percent svojich energetických razníkov, while Johnson landed just 19 percent 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.



He had a good jab,” 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. He’s a tough fighter. Ja 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. The judges scored the fight 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. Pristál 82 celkom údery do 46 against in rounds five through eight and was able to establish a lethal body attack that wore down Sacramento’s Hernandez, pripojenie na 79 body shots compared to just 10 for Hernandez. Newman also led 152-97 in overall punches landed and 114-57 in power shots, 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 otvárači televízneho vysielania, 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 libier. “I made him pay for coming in overweight yesterday. Pozerať sa dopredu, 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, Baďo 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,"Povedal Davis, who faces former unified champion Yuriorkis Gamboa for the WBA lightweight title December 28 in Atlanta. “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,"Povedal. “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. The full telecast will replay on Monday, November 4 na 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available on SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and SHOWTIME on DEMAND®.

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:

On training camp:

Newman: “Výcvikový tábor bol skvele. 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 skvelý tím 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, Môžem vám povedať, 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, Len som nevedela, kedy. 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, Budem víťazný.”

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 in April (Watch KO Here). 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 with a unanimous decision win over Wilfredo Garriga at Sam’s Town Live.



“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.



“Sústredenie sa skvele. 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 sa profesionálom 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. Vo svojom poslednom záchvate, 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, ktorý bol 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,” said 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. McGregor event. Hernandez was among 16 professional fighters selected to compete at 160 pounds on the 2018 reboot of Contender séria. 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. In February of this year, 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,” said 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 boja, 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. With eight stoppages in nine professional fights, Romero packs a heavy punch and will be looking for his fifth straight knockout on November 1.



It’s been a great year for me professionally,”Povedal 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.”
